London 24-04-2005 11-11 GMT
Controversial anthropologist Professor Shan Van Vockt of Hybrassil
University was today accused of plagiarism by an obscure Irish scholar.
Professor Van Vockt yesterday in the Savoy Bistro in London launched
his new book The Advent of Humanisation in which he propounds the
theory that we are "the mind of matter, the eyes, ears and the voice of
the known universe".
Then last night came the bombshell which has polarised the always
volatile academic community of Hybrassil University. In an exclusive
interview to PRESS INC an obscure Irish scholar, Joseph H, claimed that
Professor Van Vockt had plagiarised his work. H claims that he has been
publicising his theories on the internet since last July prior to
publication of his seminal work, also called The Advent of
Humanisation, this summer. Scotland Yard will only say that they are
aware of the matter - but inside souces known to PRESS INC say an
arrest is immanent next week.

Controversial anthropologist Professor Shan Van Vockt of Hybrassil
University was today accused of plagiarism by an obscure Irish

scholar.

Professor Van Vockt yesterday in the Savoy Bistro in London

launched

his new book The Advent of Humanisation in which he propounds the
theory that we are "the mind of matter, the eyes, ears and the

voice of

the known universe".
Then last night came the bombshell which has polarised the always
volatile academic community of Hybrassil University. In an

exclusive

interview to PRESS INC an obscure Irish scholar, Joseph H, claimed

that

Professor Van Vockt had plagiarised his work. H claims that he has

been

publicising his theories on the internet since last July prior to
publication of his seminal work, also called The Advent of
Humanisation, this summer. Scotland Yard will only say that they

are

aware of the matter - but inside souces known to PRESS INC say an
arrest is immanent next week.

Looks like a page of random, rambling typing.

re: the essay & first chapter by joseph h
I skimmed through it.
I like it.
I perceive it is an advocacy for the having of a "belief" or perhaps
having a hope in a metaphysical, or perhaps a faith in something beyond
empirical materialism
Whether it is "plagarism" or a synthesis:
Plagarism implies legality.
Are substantial portions & wordings copied in whole, or has the writer
perhaps produced paraphrases, syntheses, and his own wordings ?

Certainly, Robert, this is an advocacy for a belief. But I don't see
any hope in a metaphysical or in a faith in "something beyond"
empirical materialism. The belief element arises from a study of our
past and of our place on the planet. I believe that we are engaged in
an elemental colonisation of the planet - much like any other creature
but with a far greater endowment than any other creature. This
endowment lies not in any physical capacity but in the range of our
intelligence and our creativity. Certainly, we are no paragons. We do
appalling things. But we have the capacity to construct peaceful
societies which harness our capacities. I think most of us desire such
societies - notwithstanding the very resilient minority who thrive on
danger of any sort.
I go further, of course. I say that our brain represents the only known
configuration of matter that possesses the capacities we associate with
mind - a clumsy phrase. I say that this confers on us a unique
privilege and a huge obligation - to be the eyes, ears and the voice of
the known universe. The belief element in my writing comes from my
advocacy of our accepting this obligation. I believe that we need the
"moral elevation" resulting from such a choice to help us to resolve
the many issues we will face this century.
By the way...all the work on the website is mine. Ignore good ol'
Professor Van Vockt. He was a fabrication.
