D*mn, I took a peak and I heard his voice... I guess they used the many tapes that he launched back then. Like a voice from the past.
It's so sad this movie, because now they make it seem really harmless...

Correction, looks like everything is on video-tape.
So Landmark tries to ban the French documentary, but this film is OK??
It's sickening, because now it's like what happened back then, with the insulting and screaming of WE - is: "okay for those days, but nowadays we do it softer". It's like approving everything that happened back then and thus... approving everything that happens now. :x

Funny but there are still lots and lots of "Werner-Worshipers" around, many of them still involved with Landmark and ~the work.~ Some are just as stubborn in their denial of his history and his hypocrisy as they are about any other bad news about Landmark. They have a whole raft of "explanations" for his behavior that they satisfy or comfort themselves with that make no more sense than any of the other non-sensical stuff that gets passed around within the cult.
I would think anyone not familiar with Werner Erhard and his stupid "trainings" would recoil in horror at his screeching nasal voice and preposterous sermons. "True believers" will always think he is uttering some earth-shatteringly profound revelation when he repeats "You don't know your ass from a hole in the ground," even though there are probably only a tiny number of brain-damaged or brain-dead in the whole history of the human race who might not be able to make the distinction.
No, who would think a slimey con-man would become a guru in the eyes of so many, but there it is -- we've got a bunch of them with no end in sight. There are people who will believe just about anything, if packaged and delivered in the right "program." Makes you wonder how we've survived this far.

Great points, as ever! I guess a scuzball zero becomes a 'hero' because of the truth in the expression, "if you don't know where you're going, you'll end up somewhere else." It seems that most people that end up idolizing characters like werner were people that went looking for direction and meaning outside themselves. They don't realize that they haven't found it yet.Quote

Yeah, how did we get this far? Proves that the human animal is a tough and resourceful little beast. Perhaps, we've got more lives thatn a cat ...
One undeniable pattern shared by those who seek salvation outside of themselves is having to be at the 'bottom of the well' before they 'draw water'. Poetics aside, what seems clear to me is that people have to be at a kind of ebb or trough in their lives before they take up a religion or a cult. I mean, how many true believers of a church are there because they'd suffered some kind of tragedy in their lives: the addict rescued from the gutter; the person who's had too many bad days for a life time, etc, etc.
It usually takes a slimey con-man to manipulate and coerce. It's part of their core being. Somewhat like 'little johnny' who loves to kick a ball around the yard while his family is content to watch TV - you know he'll do well in sport because he's found a focus. He says so himself. He'll play in the World Cup one day. And then this focus will become a kind of mastery. And with mastery comes the ability to amaze.
