− | What [[Claude Degler]] called the male [[fans]] who joined his [[Cosmic Circle]], presumably short for COSmic MEN. No telling what women were supposed to be called, for all that they had a Significant Role to play in [[Claude]]'s proposed scheme, since they would be inseminated in his "love camps" in the Ozarks to produce the [[slan]]-like race that would rule the [[sevagram]]. All [[fans]] were [[slans]], in [[Claude]]'s view, but it was unclear whether they or only Cosmen would be called upon to perform that duty. (See [[SLAN]].) Most [[fans]] felt themselves to be part of a minority, subject to minority persecution, so they felt empathy for the [[slans]] in the [[A. E. van Vogt]] novel of that name. But they did not believe themselves to be super beings, so the overwhelming response to [[Degler]] was laughter. A line of [[Jack Speer]]'s that demonstrates this popular view is still often quoted: "I have a Cosmic Mind – now what do I do?"
