ERIC HOFFER'S RESEARCH | 2004-10-22
Eric Hoffer, who was a working man all his life and self-educated, wrote short books made up of short chapters. His first was published when he was 65.
Hoffer got a professorship at the Berkeley campus of the University of California in the 1960s. He promptly quit because, he said, "These students can't THINK!"
Sound familiar?
He was appointed to the Civil Rights Commission. He soon quit that, too, saying "Civil Rights is a FRAUD!"
Hoffer said he had an odd way of doing research for his writings. He would go to a library, look randomly at things, and if something didn't apply to what he was writing, he would stop writing it.
I am similar to Hoffer. So when Texas Holdem and Online Casino send me random platitudes, many of them apply to what I am thinking about.
I've cut out the rest.
