The "Holocaust analogy," as you describe it, is nothing of the sort. It is a realistic delineation of what happens when human beings follow frightening philiosophies such as that proposed by Senor Gracian, and advocated by our colleague here at SI.

As for the essay you cite, interesting. I would point out to you Jonathan Swift's essays concerning the English language in Elizabethan times. He was renowned not only for his masterpieces of literature, but also for his tireless and vociferous criticism of the destruction of the English language through its "low" uses by no less than the likes of Wlliam Shakespeare, who now is credited with well over 70% of the idiomatic phrases in the language today.

As for the Gracian text, I assume it was taken in translation from the Spanish. It is not the language that sickens me; it is its meaning. Perhaps our
Mr. InternationalGrandmaster, a man of the world no less, would wish to educate us as to alternate interpretations of this deeply troubling prose.
