Dear Jeremy,
I know you've been saying the same things for years because you have said so and I have personally verified it from empirical experience. What you don't seem to understand is what you are implying.
If a Peruvian who becomes an anthropology student at UCLA created the character of don Juan, faked field trips to Mexico, wrote books that not only impressed the experts at UCLA, but became New York Times bestsellers; he made the cover of Time Magazine then earned a Ph. D from UCLA in spite of his detractors then...
CARLOS CASTANEDA WAS AN INCREDIBLE LITERARY GENIUS!
He should be in the Guinness Book of World Records for I do not believe that ANY foreign anthropology student at a major American university has EVER accomplished such a feat! It's too incredible to be true that he was able to pull it off without being exposed as a fraud BEFORE he was awarded a Ph. D.
Jeremy, you just can't seem to see what you are implying. However, I will respect your beliefs if you will respect mine that your stance in this matter is that of a narcissistic-ally deranged person who is in need of some sort of psychiatric counseling if you cannot see the logic of my view of YOUR view. You have NO QUALIFICATIONS WHATSOEVER to decide who does or who does not deserve a Ph. D in ANY endeavor. Am I correct?
Let me make it very simple for you:
If there actually was a don Juan that's nice. If Castaneda made the whole thing up and tricked UCLA into giving him a Ph. D that's AMAZING BEYOND BELIEF!!!
Yes, we should be much more amazed by Carlos Castaneda if he made the whole thing up. Indeed we should!
So, Jeremy, show me how I am incorrect in my CURRENT views and, unlike you, I will change my views of this matter.
Good luck! You're gonna need it
PS: Please verify Guy Gardner's stance that don Juan "stalking" is a perversion of Taoist teachings. Thanks
