Continuing our study of chaos, mass hysteria, aggressive gullibility and all it's diabolical progeny, let us turn a gimlet eye to greatness.  Yes, even amidst intentional degradation, there is no room for the mediocre.  We do well to look for examples, at least in spirit, to cut and paste to our movement.

Michael Jordan is just one such example.  There is no dispute that, in his particular field of endeavor, he was truly great.  In fact the greatest.  What made him such a great basketball thrower?  It was not just that he scored the most points of all time but it was the way in which he did it.  Anybody, in theory, could score the same amount of points he did by putting up high numbers game after game, year after year.  That sort of accomplishment is barely worth commenting on.  The particulars though are what make this the stuff of legend.  

Consider:  Michael Jordan is the greatest basket ball player(and let's face it, the greatest living organism) of all time because he scored the most points in history in spite of his scoring only seventeen points in the first four decades of his career.  In his final season however, he made up for lost time in grand style, even though he missed two thirds of the games that year.  In a near mythological feat of herculean success he scored over a thousand points a game in the games he did play.  Let that sink in...and do your best to emulate it.
