The Nouveau Tech Package of Inside Secrets

Large quarto; tables; index; 556p. A fascinating glimpse into late 20th century business jargon and self-help language. Frank Wallace was a former poker player who turned to the mail-order business to sell his books containing secrets of wealth, power and eternal life. From Wikipedia: "Wallace's Neo-Tech philosophy is presented as an offshoot of Objectivist philosophy. In his books, as is the case in Objectivim, Wallace opposed anything considered to be mysticism or supernaturalism, including all forms of religion. Wallace saw scientific research to make ageless biological immortality a reality as an important mission. Another significant influence was the theory of bicameralism of the mind advanced by Julian Jaynes, which Wallace used to explain the persistence of irrationality and mysticism into the present.[.] Neo-Tech has been described as a scam, a cult, and as not being a genuine philosophical system by critics." // Table of Contents; Orientation; First Package of Secrets; Second Package of Secrets; Third Package of Secrets; Neo-Tech III Information Package: "Controlling Mystics Through Their Bicameral Minds" by John Flint and Eric Savage; Neo-Tech IV Information Package: "Creating Business Values and Predicting Stock Prices" by Frank R.
