A Thesis Carrying a Uniquely Original Message: The End for Dummies!  

by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

Lyndon H.

The necessary effect should be a powerful effect of a happy discovery, a discovery which has been adopted by people who have come, really, to know what constitutes a really important discovery of a sweepingly new quality in viewing the future of our species.

“In the history of the human species, that is the way we should read our experiences. It is the experience which should define for others, both what the members of our species really are, or have merely chosen to be, or, what we might come to discover, later, even much later, that we really have been heretofore.”
