I think Ian's idea is not to associate with everyone 'as is', but everyone
after they've adopted his own warped world view (a pit full of Ian clones).
I find his ideas very totalarian, rather than that of an anarchist. I think
the link to a webpage for 'slackers' on his website says more about him than
any of his e-mails. He favours a world where there is no rewards for hard
work, so that he can sit on his ass all day why we do the work for him.
