Tao Stoic 96

"The Montgolfier syndrome, what is it Master?"

"It is in the knowledge about wind-baggery that we find an answer. Andreski noted, studied and explained how the wind-bags in society, in practically all organisations, especially in our universities, rise to the top because they are lightest. Just hot air. Everybody can see it all about him, yet, when Parkinson first showed it, (and dr.Peter etc. ) he was laughed at. They forgot that a crack in 'History' as Parkinson is, just could be very observant in sociological issues. Andreski, now, proves the same wind-bag syndrome again, hence, he is simply not read, not discussed, not propagated."

"But when it is so important, I mean in order to avoid it, to organise things better, why was it not publicised, splashed all over the newspapers, day in day out?"

"But don't you see? The persons responsible for the study and publication, for the daily splashing in newspapers, they just are the very wind-bags too, they are the tops. An underling may be allowed to splash a particular stupidity when there is sensation in it, but under no circumstances is he allowed to touch on a solution, killing the hen with the golden eggs by it."
