The Gurdjieff International Review site has an excellent introduction to the work of G.I. Gurdjieff by none other than P.L. Travers [of Mary Poppins fame!].

"Dear infrarock scum, the backlash has begun: we are declaring War on Noise . Do you have any comment gentlemen?

"For as much as [Generation Y] resent the way you pander to their fleeting sense of what is genuinely, authentically cool, they enjoy all the attention. It's turned into a giant feedback loop: you watch kids to find out what trend is "in," but the kids are watching you watching them in order to figure out how to act. They are exhibitionists, aware of corporate America's fascination with their every move, and delighting in your obsession with their tastes..." Rushkoff

"I remember that they had a scent similar to that of an electric toy train."

This kind of entity approached Andy in a normal daylight setting as he worked in a supermarket. The two who approached him spoke a strange language making him think they must be retarded. When Andy spoke the language in public he ended up in a mental hospital under observation.

"Snobs are much happier with the arts than science because you can have an opinion without any information on the arts, but you need to know what you're talking about in the sciences. As a result, a certain section of "educated" society makes science less respectable a subject—i.e. the snobbery has to exclude the entire subject because snobbery wing any of it. Badly educated Englit [English Lit] majors are, therefore, one of the worst aspects of the phenomenon. They tend to get the jobs as lit editors and off you go. It's far worse in America where the snobbery is even more endemic. Snobbery is the last resort of the intellectually inadequate." Mr Moorcock.
