This is not a polished post.
</p>
<p>
It was with surprise that I encountered the following
document many years ago. I was using a search engine for
something completely different.
</p>
<p>
I could find no references on the Web to the document or to
the society that produced it. There are now.
</p>
<p>
I copied a few striking quotes quickly.

In this post we take misopathy apart. (If you don't know
what misopathy is, that's explained too.)
</p>
<p>
We will try to find out why some diseases are wronged.
</p>
<p>
Misopathy comes in many forms, but I want to tell you about
three levels:
</p>
<ol class="org-ol">
<li>personal</li>
<li>institutional</li>
<li>organized</li>
</ol>
<p>
This table is a sort of summary in advance:
</p>
<table border="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="6" rules="groups" frame="hsides">
<colgroup>
<col class="org-left">
<col class="org-left">
<col class="org-left">
<col class="org-left">
</colgroup>
<thead>
<tr>
<th scope="col" class="org-left">level</th>
<th scope="col" class="org-left">type of misopathy</th>
<th scope="col" class="org-left">rough description</th>
<th scope="col" class="org-left">a concrete example</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="org-left">1</td>
<td class="org-left">personal</td>
<td class="org-left">prejudice, bigotry</td>
<td class="org-left">bullying</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="org-left">2</td>
<td class="org-left">institutional</td>
<td class="org-left">institutional behavior, groupthink</td>
<td class="org-left">seeming SNAFUs</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td class="org-left">3</td>
<td class="org-left">organized</td>
<td class="org-left">coordinated, systematic, planful</td>
<td class="org-left">corruption of science</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>
My point will be that the levels are closely linked.
</p>
<p>
Let's start with level 1.

<p>
This post contains my predictions, which I posted elsewhere
before the meeting, based on their misplaced focus on
symptoms.

UPDATE: the FDA's "Meeting Summary", April 26, 2014, makes
it clear that <b>all of the concerns in this post have been
borne out</b>. The FDA is not serious.

<p>Emily's disease started out mildly. Emily died at age 30.

<p>
Here is Emily telling us her story:
</p>
<blockquote>
<p>My entire future, and the greatly improved health I so long
for, however, currently hinges on luck alone. … This
wretched, ugly disease is made all the more so through the
scandalous lack of research into its most severe form and
the lack of necessary, appropriate support for those
suffering from it.<br>

</blockquote>
<p>
There is still no research into its most severe form. There
is still no support.

However, the key points for this article are these:

<p>This is a 100% self-contained article, and it also serves as
part 1 of a 3-part series. <a href="http://thekafkapandemic.blogspot.com/2012/07/leroy-and-next-age-of-mankind-part-2.html">Part 2</a>. <a href="http://thekafkapandemic.blogspot.com/2012/08/part-33-of-leroy-and-next-age-of-mankind.html">Part 3</a>.

<p>For example, doctors may perceive from the circumstances,
such as the patient's age, healthy complexion, and the
reaction of his eyes, that his disease does not result from
any defect of the blood or the stomach, or any other
infirmity; and they therefore judge that it is not due to
any natural defect, but to some extrinsic cause. And since
that extrinsic cause cannot be any poisonous infection,
which would be accompanied by ill humors in the blood and
stomach, they have sufficient reason to judge that it is due
to witchcraft.

As far as I am concerned, the only things that would seem
really out of place in official discussion of Le Roy, New
York, USA are "humors" and the last word, and those are
merely details that got updated in the half-millennium
since.<sup><a class="footref" name="fnr-.2" href="#fn-.2">2</a></sup>
