The "geniuses" of World War I were primitive herd-animals.

Psychology Goes to War!
by Frank Barron

In the 19th century the British Empire performed extraordinary feats of genetic transportation -- squirting sperm-egg cargoes throughout the globe.

By moving their Dom-Species (Stage 11) Protestant from Scotland to Ireland they ruthlessly compressed the Stage 10 Catholic-feudal culture of the Emerald Isle.  Faced with loss of the land Catholic gene-pools were forced to migrate.  Each Irish family selected its most intelligent, mobile, adaptable, attractive member to send "across the water."  Thus occurred one of the most successful genetic experiments in planetary history.  America was flooded with sperm-egg units carefully selected for mobility-nobility.

The first generation of Irish migrants threw railroads across the continent.  The second generation became politicians, policers, power functionaries.  The third generation, which blossomed after World War II, produced the first Irish-American generation of philosopher-scientists.

The brilliant, innovative Irish savants who emerged in the 1950-70 period replaced the Jewish intellectuals.  Before 1950 Jewish intellectuals carried the neuro-genetic signal.  Since Jews were born Out-Castes they were able to transcend hive limits and fabricate new realities.  After World War II Jewish culture became hive-establishment -- the role of genetic exploration fell to the Irish.  The American Celts were prepared perfectly to play the role of Intelligence Agents because of their intellectual history.  In pre-migration Ireland the active intellectual person was forced into rebellion.  The only educational choices for a smart young Irishman were the alien, Rome-oriented feudal priesthood or the academies of the enemy Protestants.  Irish women had no educational avenues open to them.  Irish brains were thus encouraged to be anti-hive.  From this Out-Caste position they were able to create new post-hive realities.

Frank Barron's career illustrates the Irish Renaissance.  His ancestors, after arriving in America, avoided the priest-run ghettoes of the Atlantic Seaboard by moving to the rough frontier of the Pennsylvania mining mountains.

Frank Barron recognized his mutant status at an early age, and when the first occasion presented itself carried his seed-supply to California frontier.

He quickly became the central figure in American psychology, taking over the position previously held by William James.  His publications on creativity, innovation, hallucinogenic drugs, and psycho-biography pushed the primitive field of psychology into scientific status.

Always the lonely champion of the individual at a time when psychology was totally dedicated to adjustment-conformity, it was natural that Barron was selected as head of the Post-Terrestrial Educational Commission.

By the year 2020 his educational theories were standard curricula in thousands of new worlds.  Nancy Camp Barron, the famous chanteuse and movie star, was Frank Barron's mate, companion and mentor.

Previous to 1939 murderous-muscular strength, animal aggressiveness and obedient stupidity (recall the trench warfare of 1917) were the glorious characteristics of warriors.

Gravity's Rainbow describes in chilling, macabre detail how, during World War II, psychology became a basic weapon of warfare and Counter-Intelligence.

But, as the sensory and motor aspects of belligerence came to depend on intermediate-technology, i.e., machines operated by human minds, a terrible thing happened:  Intelligence and mental-caste became factors in warfare!  Special endowments beyond brute stupidity treacherous cunning and unimaginative persistence became survivally attractive.

The "geniuses" of World War I were primitive herd-animals -- a mutation's quantum distance from the scope, acceleration and relativistic adaptability of our current mediocrity.  Black Jack Pershing?  Teddy Roosevelt?  Kaiser Wilhelm?  Sgt. York?

By 1939, the selection of killer-teams involved careful screening for inborn caste differences, genetic types (prudently called personality traits or aptitudes).  Military psychology became an integral part of the Anglo-American-German war machines.  The task:  identification, assessment, selection, guidance, training, motivation of caste abilities.

Diagnosis and treatment of psychological casualties -- an entirely new concept of human nature -- also developed.  Machines break down; personalities could not break down until personality types were defined by our new mechanical-civilization.  All our external technology serves as a model to understand internal (i.e., somatic-neurological) technology.  Machines help us to understand our own bodily mechanics.  Electronic computers lead us to understand and control our own brains.

Gravity's Rainbow is a spectacular expose of how manipulative psychologists of the American Skinnerian Behaviorist School and the European Pavlovian School were assigned the responsibility, by the military caste, of predicting and controlling human behavior for purposes of ... controlling human behavior.
