Michael--have you visited the website provided
below? It appears to be almost unreservably apologist and supportive of
Zionist/Israeli propaganda and policies.

Subject: [socialcredit] Alfred
Korzybski
Social crediters may be interested in the
following, which came to me from one Mr. Bruce Kodish of California.
Does anyone know anything of Korzybski?
Michael
"I'm writing a
biography of the philosopher Alfred Korzybski, who was a friend of Charles
Ferguson just after World War I.
"Korzybski was a Polish engineer from
an aristocratic background who came to North America during WWI on war related
work for the Russian army and stayed after the war, married an American woman,
and worked to develop a basis for an applied science of humanity. His first
book, Manhood of Humanity introduced the notion of "time-binding," the human
ability to build on the knowledge/wealth that previous generations have left,
which Korzybski believed distinguished humans as a separate class of life. In
his subsequent work, he explored the mechanism of time-binding, and formulated
a general theory of evaluation, which he called "general semantics." As a
lover of mathematics, he thought physical-mathematical methods exemplified the
best in human evaluating while the behavior of patients in 'mental'
institutions exemplified the worst. He formulated simple methods for applying
physical-mathematical methods to our everyday evaluating and spent the rest of
his life writing and teaching people to apply these methods. That's the
nutshell version of Korzybski's work. We have a website: <<
www.driveyourselfsane.com >> where you can learn more.
"Korzybski was very taken with Ferguson's book The Revolution Absolute
when he first encountered it in 1919 after he met Ferguson. (They were both
staying at the National Arts Club in New York City and Korzybski became
briefly associated with 'The New Machine'.)"
