I mention this because the stuff you'll learn in Fresh Wisdom will give you insights into how this world works that will seriously isolate you from your friends trapped in their humdrum lives. You see, most people do things without ever questioning why. They do things purely because that's what their parents did, and that's what their friends do. Conventional wisdom, which is hardly ever effective. And so the cycle of insanity is repeated over and over again, even though it produces results that suck. Fresh Wisdom, on the other hand, is dangerously controversial stuff, and you'd better be careful who you discuss the concepts with... |

I wonder, "What will we be?" |
