about abelard, abelard.org and abelard's public education site | ||||||
mission statementto advance rational education... this site is designed to provide the tools for the spread of sanity in education and culture. what is this abelard thing anyway?abelard is thought to live in a ger on the steppes of outer mongolia, surrounded by an indeterminate number of yaks, husbands and wives... and vast hordes of children preparing for the cultural conquest of the world... abelard is known to have long conversations with the good fairy. it is rumoured that abelard arrived on a cultural troubleshooting mission to this planet from a star system approximately 40 light years away: this prior to the earth being offered probationary membership of The Galactic Anarchy (some call it The Culture). as abelard is from an advanced culture, this entity has to communicate in rather simple language in order to be understood by the savages... consequently there are various rumours... one is that The Culture have forgotten all about this attaché, who often gets homesick and pissed off with living in such a primitive backwater. another is that this entity is a reincarnation of another abelard born in 1179.... both of these rumours are true to a related degree.
