I was readin this stuff in here. Yeti why are you trying to teach a wage-slave how to think. He wont understand unless you are dominating him with a whip just like the slavemasta use to do. This time the slave are just dumb-folk. Its like Arthur Frayn as Zardoz teaching Zed the power of the gun, reading and freedom. It is not until Zed finally has the sacred book in Zed's face that Zed realizes the book is "The Wizard of Oz" and that Zardoz (wiZARDofOZ) is a merely man behind a veil and pulling strings to manipulate people with fear. So Zed kills Zardoz (Arthur Frayn) with the gun that Zardoz provided him with. Yet Arthur Frayn actually planned his own death because he did not wish to be immortal.
