Neo-Tech®

From RationalWiki
Jump to: navigation, search

Neo-Tech® (also known as the "Society of Secrets") is a bizarre self-help... er, something. It was created in 1984 by Frank R. Wallace, a tax protester best known as a prolific writer of "how to cheat at poker and blackjack" books.

Neo-Tech® borrows tenets from objectivism, repackaging it in the pseudoscientific and cultish style of Scientology. As with most cultish belief systems, Neo-Tech® uses jargon understood only by its followers, like "neocheaters" and "fully integrated honesty". Like objectivism, Neo-Tech® promises to help people eliminate all forms of mysticism and irrationality from their life and become a perfectly rational person. Like Scientology, Neo-Tech® uses this indecipherable jargon as a hook to sell Really Expensive Books (at $140 each) that leave the reader more confused than they were before reading them.

They used to send truly amazing junk mail in the late '80s and early '90s, composed entirely of in-cult gibberish. Earlier ones talked about Neo-Tech®, later ones talked about The Power Of ZON.[1]
