Sturgeon’s law (or Sturgeon’s revelation) is an adage stating “ninety percent of everything is crap”. It was coined by Theodore Sturgeon, an American science fiction author and critic, and was inspired by his observation that, while science fiction was often derided for its low quality by critics, most work in other fields was low-quality too, and so science fiction was no different.^[1]

Modern Magick, Donald Kraig Reference and Elaboration

Sturgeon’s Law. This law states that 90 percent of everything is crap. It is named in honor of science-fiction author Theodore Sturgeon, who used it (originally calling it “Sturgeon’s Revelation”) because he was tired of defending science fiction to various literary critics in the 1950s. Supposedly, after being asked if he didn’t agree that 90 percent of science fiction was crap, his response was that 90 percent of everything was crap.

For the discussion here, I’m simply using this law to point out that of those thousands of books, much is repetitive, and much more is useless guessing by people who haven’t even tried the simplest ritual. That is, much of it really is crap. This course will leave you with the best of thousands of books, plus over twenty-five years of personal research and practice.

Leo’s Take On It Relating to the Esoteric Internet

The internet has so much data but is not organized for the seeker or learning mystic nor is it rated on quality of the information. The reality is “people just make shit up”.
