Faltering on ill-made stilts, I lumber after it…
Dictionary: Beardism, n. Pure pseudo-psychic automatism, by which one proposes to express, either verbally, in writing, or by any other manner, how history functions based on an (imagined) alternate past and the progression of industry. Dictation of thought in the absence of all control exercised by reason based on actuality (other than imagined actuality), outside of all aesthetic and moral preoccupation with the one proviso that the practitioner wear a beard.
Encyclopedia: Beardism. Philosophy. Beardism is based on the belief in the superior reality of certain forms of previously neglected alternate history, in the omnipotence of dream, in the disinterested play of thought married to the progression of industry (industriosophy). It tends to ruin once and for all other pseudo-psychic mechanisms and to substitute itself for them in solving all the principal problems of life whist wearing a beard.
