I invented egoism as a (no pun intended) self-consistent moral philosophy, and I just this very minute reinvented empathy.
Of immediate moment, I am a lapsed novelist and the author of many brutally-optimistic short stories about children, dogs, untouchables and entirely-human monsters.
I am hauling marriage back from the abyss, this to restore the family as the pre-eminent social institution, this to redeem all of Western Civilization.
I want for you to come to my blossoming televangelical mission, The Church of Splendor, to invite me to speak at your church or event, to buy my books and to give me money.
But before all that, I want for you to lend me your mind.
I’ll pay you back with interest, every time, I promise.
