Great. We get close to "the cheating". Of course I can say the above!
Notice a difference though: "I don't BELIEVE them to be absolutely true" is
not the same as saying "there is no absolute truth, I kill it". Then come
the sequels: "I don't believe in what I say myself", "you will never be able
to understand it unless you jump to Level-3, which I will assist you at --
with books (you can buy from http:...) workshops and personal consultation".

Obviously, the reason Richard "brought" David R. to this list is to show
other memEmbers of the list how one can manipulate people with the notion
that reality does not exist, that there is no absolute truth, etc. The
Dr.Jekyll and Mr.Hyde strategy works very well, it's very educational.
Look, how many memembers are on Richard's side, just because they see him as
authority. I can't wait when he says: OK, this experiment is over, I *am*
David R.
