Gurdjieff, Sufis, and the math torpedoes
Isn’t it strange that a good mathematician such as Dembski suddenly appears from the most improbable of cultures, the brain-dead Bible Belt?
It is not chance! Must be intelligent design behind it! Uh oh, another math torpedo.
After passing through the Gurdjieff/Sufi shark pool a number of years ago I learned a strange thing: the non-random appearance of hotshot mathematicians is part of the game.
Gurdjieff was a clever fellow, but he operated in relative openness and gave the game away. There’s a deeper and more deadly level where you never even see the occult agents.
If you study the Gurdjieff game carefully you see how he burned his way through two mathematicians to try and get his game going: first Ouspensky, who turned out to be a bit of a dud. Then J.G. Bennett, who was blazingly sharp, but who was hopelessly corrupted by the sufi racket and its temptations for him, to let himself be exploited. The result is the hopelessly comprised The Dramatic Universe, a book that could have been great, but which ended up being a hybridized piece of dangerous propaganda.
So, what do we have here, is what I wonder with Mr. Dembski, who should be on the lookout for the invisible designs of his ‘handlers’.
So, watch out for suspicious math torpedoes.
And how does all this happen. That, I am sorry, is for you to figure out. Study your unconscious carefully at all times…

Ken Wilber, in “A Theory of Everything”, lets us that liberalism shows its contraditions on the outside, whereas concervatives hide theirs on the inside.
