Orgonomy, anyone?!

Not far from where I live, I noticed a sign on a very well kept property for the "American College of Orgonomy". I'd never heard of Orgonomy before, and the definition is pretty vague but conjures up all kinds of crazy $hi& in my head.

Does anybody know WTF Orgonomy is all about?

orgonomy
Pseudomedicine
A pseudoscience that claimed to incorporate new approaches to child-rearing, medicine and psychiatry, which was accomplished by using an Orgone Accumulator, a fraudulent device alleged to recharge a person’s orgone (the energy of sexual orgasm).

I hope we have a forum member who has their PHD in Orgonomy who will explain in simple terms.

From what I've read after a brief 3 minute skimming of the internet, Orgonomy is basically the study of orgone energy and its effects of the natural world (from single celled life forms to human beings). This concept was developed by Wilhelm Reich, a student of Sigmund Freud. Reich obviously based his studies on the Freud's libido concept, but went a step further saying that our orgone/libido/sex-energy is repressed by society, and that this energy is the driving life-force for all living things.

tl;dr Orgonomy is Jedism - Star Wars, but instead of the Force, it involves sex.

tl;dr part 2: crazy ass bullshit.

Yeah, that's what I got too, but WTF does it all mean? then there was some crap about "child-rearing" which added more questions into the mix.

I don't want to sign up for classes just to find out what it is.

I think "crazy ass bullshit" might be the key.

In 10 years, complaints will begin to surface about this place being headed by Jim Jones V2.0 - except instead of an eventual mass suicide, they just molest each other.

I'm just a little worried that if I take a class and "recharge" my "orgone", it might unleash too much energy into the world. I'm not sure that's a chance I want to take.
