Gnomevision Softtalk with the Bluegnome


- Dear viewers today we have an interview with the distinguished Assistant Professor Stareling Duodenum for You. Good day to you Assistant Professor Duodenum.
- I am very pleased to be here.
- Yesterday there were a lot of things happening. First Professor Svinhufvud and Associate Professor Puke Womit got their research funds suspended for the time being and second, Professor Svinhufvud accused you and Professor Anthrax for being frauds and not capable of scientific research, and finally he claimed that you were incapable of understanding his theory. How do respond to these grave accusations?
- You actually forgot that Svinhufvud accused me for not being objective, but in fact a lackey of the government.
- How do you respond to this?
- First, I must say that I am impressed of how he twists my arguments around, but the truth is that I was right in the first place. He can’t come around the fact that the Manifesto of Shortness aims at discriminate people of normal length and above. If I should go into this argument in further detail, Vilfredo Pareto claimed that a change in policy should be undertaken if no one was worse off. Clearly Svinhufvud’s Manifesto does not fulfil the stipulations for Pareto-efficiency, and should not be enforced.
- But he also claimed that the changes wasn’t his doing but in fact already undertaken as an unforeseen consequence of the functions of our modern society. How do you respond to that?
- That’s just smokescreens, he tries to avoid responsibility of his claims, that are clearly undemocratic and authoritarian, by claiming that they are already a fact, caused by others. How cheap can you get? How shallow can you allow your arguments to become?
- To an uncritical viewer it may seem that all this is about concerns whether short people should lengthen their arms and legs, or if longer people should shorten theirs. How would you respond to that?
- Nothing could be more wrong! Svinhufvud’s Manifesto actually says explicitly that so called “overgrowns” should not be allowed to reproduce themselves. That’s so close to Nazism that Adolf Hitler would have blush as a school boy if had heard such a suggestion!
- You actually compare Professor Svinhufvud with Adolf Hitler?
- May be Pol Pot would be more accurate, as he aims at his own fellow countrymen!
- We thank Assistant Professor Duodenum for this enlightening interview. Good evening to ye’ all!
