The tangled web

Teasing out the problem.

So far I've been trying to summarise the philosophy problems, but today it's hard to do that. I'm not sure whether this problem comes from the pen of Lewis Carroll himself, but it's a list of sentences in a random order. In spite of that, it appears that you should be able to reconstruct a coherent argument from them.

1. Everyone in the world has an interest in saving it and protecting the environment.
2. Everyone, if they eat and drink a lot, is part of the ecosphere.
3. If I don't like someone, I avoid them.
4. No one is naturally a meat eater, unless they have a psychological problem. (I assume this means "eats meat to the exclusion of other types of food".)
5. Nobody interested in saving the world could possibly fail to eat lentils at least once a week.
6. All my friends are just other people out there somewhere in the world, people like you and me.
7. Politicians are not part of the ecosphere.
8. All lentil eaters are closet carnivores.
9. When someone is unfriendly to me, I don't like them.
10. People that have psychological problems always seem to eat and drink a lot.

I think I can see some connections: S9 seems to precede S3; S5 seems to precede S8 which precedes S4 which precedes S10 which precedes S2; S1 would appear to precede S5. Am I then right in assuming that S7 follows S2 and precedes S9 and S3. But that leaves S6 in the lurch. Does it come first?

The solution should, somehow, arrive at a declaration of dislike for politicians, but is more involved than simply ordering the sentences without additional statements and connectives. It seems that your friends are a bunch of eco-freak, politician-hating closet carnivores. Or something.

Tomorow's problem brings us to the end of the first set of problems.
