Motus Mentis

Have you heard of Poe’s Law? Wikipedia defines it thus:

Poe’s law, named after its author Nathan Poe, is an Internet adage reflecting the idea that, without a clear indication of the author’s intent, it is difficult or impossible to tell the difference between an expression of sincere extremism and a parody of extremism.

Now go and read this astonishing essay, by one Tanya Cohen. Savor its colossal excesses, contradictions and ironies; bathe in its monumental arrogance and its childlike, utterly unreflective solipsism. Enjoy a frisson of horror at its genial embrace of totalitarianism.

So: extremism, or parody? The former, I fear, but it gives outstanding service either way.
