The Baltimore Police knew a Neoist Conspiracy


when they saw one. Best of all, the leader of the Neoists, Monty Cantsin himself, was the very guy they had caught putting up posters around town. But there were complications once Cantsin was safely behind bars. Just who is this man, the police asked, and what does he do? The fellow with the strange haircut and thick Hungarian accent explained that he, Cantsin, was an open pop star concept. Everybody can be Monty Cantsin and there are many Monty Cantsins in Neoism.
What, they asked, is Neoism? Neoism is all isms simultaneously. It is anything done in the name of Neoism.
