ABSTRACT
This farcical story very accurately reflects the destiny of many theories and beliefs: social, scientific and creative. Their creators conceive, nurture and achingly deliver great ideas, like an idea of rebuilding the world on the grounds of justice. They peruse a lot of materials left by their predecessors and notice the consisting patterns, which the former missed. They deliver passionate speeches and sermons; they write books, manifestos and declarations. Eventually they convert and enlighten a small group of followers. The next generation – the first pupils – inherit the whole system of the creators’ ideas, focusing predominantly on practical matters: tactics, methods and ways of implementing these ideas. The ardent believers preserve ideological purity (sometimes excessively) and thoroughly study and propagate their teachers’ works.
