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

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'.)"
