Of course, the only thing Icke can do about it is going on radio shows telling you to buy his new book about the same damn thing

I like Icke when he talks about the lizards otherwise I tread carefully amongst his pronouncements.

Two people could read that passage and get two different ideas from it. You and I assuming we are both reasonable people would see merit in it, annother person desiring to evade all societal responsibility whatsoever would use it to do whatever they like when they like without regard for others.

Attacking social convention can lead to advancement but destroying it can lead to our disaster I think.

In his latest book, Tales from the Time Loop, he goes deeper into his beliefs. Basically what he is saying is that you should be able to do what you want providing you don't cause harm to anyone or curtail their own rights. He calls it the 'Law of respect'. Its a bit like the wiccan tenet "If it harms none, do what you will"

Seems fair enough to me, but I see your point about those using it to do whatever they like when they like without regard for others. The whole idea needs to encompassed - Do what you want, providing that you avoid harming anyone. Otherwise don't do it.
