Thursday April 23rd, 2031 I get my usual wake up call, I have to get ready for my 10 o'clock conference link with the board of Inter Space Limited. They are having problems with their best web designers getting brainwashed by a competing cult called Oraca. Interspace has been patenting it's social applications for re-socialization web modules, which have been very successful helping people with re-invention. Oraca has been taking credit for the critical criminal science features of the software because of a supposed copyright infringement on Oraca's claim to the "Confidence Game." <Patent Pending> It is intellectual property that they claim was the invention of their leader, John Miller. However their selective desensitization reprograming looks suspiciously like a cross between EST and Scientology. Their only real claim to intellectual property was their "Diagrammar" of meta speak, which really was a brilliant coup of the order of an endless source of intelligently marketable gibberish. The amazing logic of this synthetic language is it's fluidity and thus provides Oraca with the perfect medium for branding.
I feel a certain allegiance with the geeks at Inter Space. They were instrumental to the final collation of the "Johnson Method." The patent courts wouldn't give me credit for the decades of research that went into my producing the Personality Inventory Assay Matrices because they insisted that I hadn't invented the calculus of variation. It took InterSpace's team of top scientists, lawyers and soft ware engineers to produce a distinctive coding for my otherwise very ordinary looking data profiling systems. But I was the one who designed the first Mutual Profiling App using Signature Physiognomy, Biometrics and Alternative Medical Diagnostics derived from the ancient practices of palmistry, handwriting analysis and Chinese Medicine. Plus a whole parcel of other related spiritual technologies. Who would have thought that all that old wine could be repackaged in new bottles, (spirit tech) and would become so profitable. I did.
I am flooded with dread, I'm not looking forward to this video conference. I know I'm going to be asked to go to Oraca and extract the web designers. They won't really want to leave the cult anyways. They are opposed to apologizing to Interspace. Robbed of their pet project of Re-Socialization Apps, they will probably never apologize. Plus they have been so corrupted by Oraca's Confidence Gaming style Meta Speak, that they've doomed themselves to being virtually unemployable anywhere else except InterSpace. But the board at InterSpace is demanding a public apology. So the first thing I should have to do is to get my working relations at Inter Space to own up to their cheap profit sharing scams and their bad faith. Those web designers had good reason to defect to the enemy camp. The pay isn't much better at Oraca, but at least over there they are treated like actual comrades. Even if it is just the standard "Confidence Game." I want so much to go back to sleep, but I better start packing for Belgium. These webbies aren't going to free themselves.
