The Enemy and How I Helped to Fight it

Table of Contents

Introduction

A member of the terrorist organisation "The Organisation" gets up in the morning, goes to his post and quits. But before he leaves he makes a suggestion that causes his former comrades to fight each other to the death. Join the now ex-Member of the Organisation as he embarks on an ego-trip, where he tries to prove that A can in fact be non-A, regardless of what Aristotle could differ.

It's a political satire, but one that is universal in its message, and touches on many aspects of politics, logic and Objectivist philosophy.

I originally wrote this story as a way to digest the many things I learned by reading the Neo-Tech material my father had previously bought. I believe it serves as a pseudo-mathematical proof that the Hizbulla and similar organizations are as irrational as they can be.

Now it has a sequel in the works: The Road to Heaven is Paved with Bad Intentions.

  • My Guide to Neo-Tech - The philosophical foundation behind the story, which is a recommended read anyway you look at it.
  • The Bastard Operator from Hell - Strangely enough, that's the story that most inspired me to write this one. It probably would make little sense if you are not familiar with UNIX concepts.
  • John Allen Paulos - a mathematics professor who wrote two books about the connection between mathematics and philosophy and humour. Both are very recommended reads, and "The Enemy" is littered with Mathematical Logic exits.
