You've arrived at the home of the GAS, a growing society dedicated to the alethiet. If you're new to the alethiet, you should read our Introduction to the Alethiet. We hope to have more resources here soon. In the meantime, enjoy this sample alethiet by Thomas Ambrose George, inventor of the form.
[1] The alethiet is a written form that separates truth from untruth. [2] Certain magical powers are extended to writers of the alethiet including occasional levitation, and extra dexterity in the left eyebrow. [3] Some comparisons, mostly unfavorable to the alethiet, can be made between it and the sonnet. [4] Unbeknownst to most of his fans, author Philip K. Dick is a dedicated alethietist, who starts all of his chapters with a hidden alethiet.
[5] A recent article in the New Yorker, titled “Art of the Insignificant,” claimed that the alethiet is of ancient Greek origin. [6]. Not so. I invented it myself, [7] though I had been up three consecutive nights reading Leucippus' arguments against the monism of Parmenides. [8] Plus, I eat mizithra cheese with noodles, which is what Homer lived on while he wrote the Odyssey, according the menu at Old Spaghetti Factory.
[9] I was in the shower when I came up with the alethiet. [10] It seemed worth remembering, so I outlined the concept on the shower wall with soap, which would have been easier if we hadn't [11] replaced our good, legible bar of soap with body wash and a mesh scrubby. [12] Immediately afterwards, I came up with a formula predicting the distribution and flow of molecules in a pressurized fluid, which I started to scribble on the shower floor (no room was left on the wall). Sadly I slipped on that, hit my head and have yet to recall it.
[13] A dextrous left eyebrow is more powerful than many people realize.
[14] Some of the best things in life are conceived of while nude.
