Is that the guy with the kick ass Kool-Aid?
Absolutely Killer KoolAid !
He was also the dude that said :
He had the potential to greatly assist everyone to collectively realize anything that their hearts desire. With enough support, he asserted he had the potential to not only bring together, inspire and empower countless numbers, but to organize their energy towards some deeply purposeful action. His group would function perfectly without any kind of discrimination among participants, granting equal access and meaning to everyone from the devout world changing activist to the casual daydreamer who stumbled across an urge to fight injustice.
He also saw that :
Together we were being faced with an ever increasing number of issues in the world today, both large and small in scale at a ever increasing rate. Yet at the same time, becoming increasingly separate from one another in an ever increasing number of ways. And he declared the immeasurable consequences,... not only on our collective level of suffering but on all the lost possibilities of our time. ..and how No one with even the faintest connection to the most basic elements of humanity can ignore nor deny this anymore.
That`s when he began his mission of organizing the best of what "we are together",
regardless of how or what for, ...
Now those are some telling words!
Those who followed his prescriptions blindly were promised that they would become a divine powerful catalyst for connection and empowerment with any like-minded individual, and a creative incentive to stand up against all or any day-to-day injustice, or an invincible center for the conception of other tools for the salvation of humankind.
With unquestioning support he promised his flock endless new potentials for all input, output, cause, action, and reaction for any kind of effort by any kind of person...

As a matter of fact, he turned out to be a fucking freak who was just plain miserably wrong on so many levels it baffles the imagination of any sane individual,...let alone any individual like me.
In the meantime
I will relish hearing more details of the fabulous action plan that would change my world...giving it all the benefit of my doubt.
