Nouveau Tech / Neo-Tech
Brand new to the forum. Saw this thread and wanted to say that Neo-Tech was in business as I&O Publishing at least as early as 1985, when I purchased the Neo Tech books.
Frank R. Wallace was the author and wrote the book "Poker, A Guaranteed Income For Life". It was from this book and his in depth reserch into Poker as a metaphor (for life and business/government) that he came up with the 'links' to 'Neo-Tech.
'Neo-Tech' itself was a new word coined to describe what Wallace said had been going on for over 2000 years. He described his coined word as a new 'identification, rather than a new technique'.
In fact, Neo-Tech was the opposite of what he identified (in the world of Poker) as 'Neocheating' - a 'invisible' form of cheating that made the cheater the most respected member of the table as he methodically colluded with the house on slowly draining the other players at the table.
The modus operandi of Neo-Cheating was to drain the uniformed over years - rather than all at once; and the metahor was suposedly the governement and other 'neocheating' organizations (Churches, mystical organizations, gurus, etc. . . . ) with power over our lives doing the same. Keeping us drained, uniformed, and happy 'losers'.
In any respect. Many years later, I&O publishing became Neo-Tech Publishing. One of the offers I was solicited for - recommended by Neo-Tech, was a book by Kevin Trudeau. I don't remember the book, but I remembered Kevin, for I had puchased his 'Mega Memory' separately( without the endorsement), and liked it.
Years after that, I purchased Kevin Trudeau's book "Natural Cures 'they' Don't Want You to Know About" from his infomercial (stay with me, there's a purpose in telling you all this) . . .
About a year after that, I was sent a pamphlet solicitation reminicent of the Neo Tech offers - only this was from Kevin Trudeau and he was soliciting for "Nouveau Tech".
"Nouveau Tech"??? Had Neo-Tech gone French?
Apparently Neo-Tech has tried a face change and is now attempting to sell books again, only under a different name. And 'Wallace Ward' is too close to Frank R. Wallace to go unsuspected.
And it's really not needed because NT is on the net - complete.
Marketing the material in a 'mystic' manner, which is how it comes off to me, should serve to appeal to those who could use the material the most.
Thus, at least to my mind, Neo-Tech is not a 'scam'.
Unfortunately this marketing method serves to also alienate many who would appreciate a clear concise philosophic treatice 'honestly' promoted. After all, Neo-Tech is defined as 'Integrated Honesty'; in itself a very good concept.
In any respect - I personally have benefitted from many, (even if not all), of the concepts I learned via the Neo-Tech books and the subsequent books such as those by Nathaniel Brandon, Ayn Rand, etc.
I too was skeptical of Mark Hamilton's supposed 'run' for office. I have to say though, I never expected him to actually do it. Scam? Maybe. Who knows for sure?
But I think I'll pass on this new incarnation.
Good thread guys. I hope some of you will be a little more tolerant with each other . . . after all NT 'Advantage' number 4 does state that 'dogma' is eliminated. (ref:
