Do not imagine that you have the least idea


of what I am talking about. I do not care what I am talking about and if you have the least idea of what I am talking about -

I do not care what I am talking about and if you have the slightest care about this matter you will very soon be disappointed.

Neoism does not mean anything. It means something quite specific and that attitude that it describes is precisely that Neoism.

Neoism is about manufacturing a movement based with the intention of gaining attention for the members of the movement.

Become a Neoist today simply by saying that you are a Neoist and by using the name of Monty Cantsin.

Monty Cantsin is an open pop star. Anybody can be Monty Cantsin. But do not imagine for a minute that by becoming Monty Cantsin that you become any different from anybody else.

Monty Cantsin is avery ordinary person, with very ordinary views. In fact, he is no different from you and me which is why it is possible for all of us to become Monty Cantsin at will.

Howecer don't restrict yourself to using the name Monty Cantsin, if you publish a magazine, use the name SMILE, too.

This is a existential experiment, this is an exercise in practical philosophy. It is an experiment to determinate what happens when we cease to differentiate between things that traditionally we would differentiate between.

Neoism supercedes all previous philosophies which believed themselves to be based on fact but were merely based on rhetoric. Neoism is based solely on rhetoric.

Neoism believes in the value of fraud as a rhetorical device. Neoists are cowards who practice an impure science. A science where it is acceptable to fudge the evidence.
