The
Condorcet Group
The
Condorcet Group, founded in 2002 by Eric Szuter of the New
Orleans area, is a grassroots organization presently consisting
of four professional Louisiana men. Its sole purpose is
to attempt to bring a greater goodness to America and to
the world by means of influencing the final design decision
pertaining to the rebuilding of Ground Zero. The group takes
its name from French philosopher Marquis
de Condorcet, one of the last influential intellectuals
of the historical period known as "The Enlightenment".
Considering the circumstances of his life and his outlook,
Condorcet should qualify as the supreme optimist of all
time. Since his outlook is in concert with the group's and
since the present odds against the group succeeding are
extremely high, the optimistic Condorcet is the perfect
patron for the group.

Group. Born with the heart of a philosopher and a mind inclined
toward science, in 1969 he was graduated from Case Western
Reserve University in engineering. In 1989 Szuter was registered

over thirty years, he has earned his living in the construction
industry. However, at the same time, he has continued his
education by doing graduate work in business administration,
education, and human ethology. Szuter has had the great
fortune to have studied under astrophysicist-philosopher
