Record of a Friendship

Mrs, a practising Freudian, said she disagreed about sex for youth (she

has two adolescent daughters). Youth not ready for it and all that bunk.

And myoId friend Thomson the Naturopath in Edinburgh told one

of myoId pupils that her miscarriage was due to her starting sex inter­

course too early. .. the damn fool.

I long to see you send a description of the motor working without

any electric current at all. That would be the most convincing evidence

possible.

No more now. Too many visitors etc., so that I can't concentrate on

writing.

I am glad that the inspection which you dreaded so much is
over and that no damage has been done.
Now I want to tell you a story. Storytelling, I hope, is still permitted
in the face of this righteous world of ours! The editor of an American
political journal made inquiries about my work among American people.
Among them he asked the head of the American Cancer Society about
my cancer work. This gentleman referred him to the latest authority on
natural scientific matters in the 20th century, Mildred Edie Brady, who
did not like my work and hated the fact that it was commended in so
many places.
The phantastic thing about it is that in this 20th century it has
become a habit of so-called scientists, instead of looking into a micro­
scope and seeing the blue in the bions and the blood corpuscles, instead
of putting cancer patients into orgone accumulators and seeing whether
it works or not, they run to biopaths in order to listen to opinions
about this work, as if natural functions could be judged by opinions.
I think I shall concentrate, as soon as the observatory is finished, on
attacking these gentlemen in public and exposing their sabotage. Most
of American pathology and biology is under the influence of the
geneticists who are utterly hopeless in their scientific outlook. They are
the heirs of the old mechanistic and mystical hereditarians. These people
