...From my very childhood, as long as I remember, I have been arguing, fighting...

 ...Of course, a child will fight and argue in a child's way, 

but from my very childhood I have never 

been ready to accept anything without being rationally convinced about it...

 ...And I found very soon, very early in life, that all these people with very big heads—professors, 

heads of the departments, deans, vice-chancellors—are just hollow... 

...You just a scratch a little bit, you find nothing inside... 

...They don't have any argument for what they have been thinking is their own philosophy... 

...They have borrowed it, they have never discovered it on their own... 

...So I have been continuously fighting, and in this fighting I have been sharpening my own 

argument... 

...I don't have a philosophy of my own... 

...My whole function is deprogramming, so whatever you say, I will destroy it... 

...And I never say anything, so I never give any chance to anybody to destroy it... 

...My purpose is to deprogram you, to clean you, to uncondition you and leave you fresh, young, 

innocent... 

...And from there you can grow into a real, authentic individual—otherwise you are just a 

personality, not an individuality...
