Like that ether of old times? Well, maybe new theory already here but blocked by nasty censors.

Still have doubts that Q is back? ;-p

Maybe not censors... but lacking intellectually honest readers/ listeners. Readers/ listeners willing to oppose and control their own mimetic desires, and and not succumb to them (ala Peter before/ after the cock crows). Readers willing to abandon Standard Science, and embrace the "Revolutionary" kind ;)

Inertia. Most powerfull force in the Universe. Thought, overlooked by everyone everytime. Inertia to blame.

Well, it's interesting thing in itself -- how low quality connection and all that newly built tenets of censure nearly eliminate our chance to communicate.

And that in the Internet, that was built to live through nukelar war... but, unable to deliver... due to modern censure.

Inertia to blame. ;-p


Hah. naZZty ceneZZors trying to prevent our communication. Or what?

But... too bad. Nobody said that it should be THAT simple. Inertia to blame. ;-p Or Comppexity. Or, Cosmic Bureacracy.)))
Well. I have had explained to you a way how to overcome it. But it found your disinterest only. Inertia...

The Theory of Inventive Problem Solving , or TRIZ , is a set of methods for solving and improving technical problems and systems by finding and resolving technical contradictions. [ 1 ] In English, in addition to the transliteration, TRIZ is known by the acronym TIPS , which stands for theory of inventive problem solving .

The idea of ​​TRIZ is that different technical problems are technical contradictions that can be solved by the same methods. To solve a specific problem, TRIZ users first generalize the problem, then try to solve the generalized problem using a suitable general method, and only then return to the specific problem and try to apply the solution found to it [ 1 ] .

TRIZ is based on 40 general inventive techniques, 76 standard solution templates and several other ideas.


Sounds like Schizo-Analysis (creating, then finding and resolving contradictions)

FDR certainly 'heard' the threats......This phenomenon would also lead to the construction of bombs, and it is conceivable—though much less certain—that extremely powerful bombs of a new type may thus be constructed. A single bomb of this type, carried by boat and exploded in a port, might very well destroy the whole port together with some of the surrounding territory. However, such bombs might very well prove to be too heavy for transportation by air.

The United States has only very poor ores of uranium in moderate quantities. There is some good ore in Canada and the former Czechoslovakia, while the most important source of uranium is Belgian Congo. [...]

...I understand that Germany has actually stopped the sale of uranium from the Czechoslovakian mines which she has taken over. That she should have taken such early action might perhaps be understood on the ground that the son of the German Under-Secretary of State, von Weizsäcker, is attached to the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Institut in Berlin where some of the American work on uranium is now being repeated.

Yours very truly,

I agree. Morality can prevent one from achieving 'Operational Success'. Trying to preserve a field of 'negative liberty' for the members of a society (or humanity itself) can be a real b*tch. Because once you resort to Coercion (the 'C' in RICE), there's no returning to "trust". And once the Nocturnal Council is exposed to daylight... they can't be unseen again.

//...much as some of my ideas like different forms of intelligences remained out of your "light cone".

Well. Predictably, you will not ask to explain. And that is not some loozy propheting or lame fortune-telling.

That's just what inertia of our communication suggests.

Though. It is dead simple. And stationed in how we use words.

If we put something with capital letter at first. Like Pyramids. Or, if you wish -- Golden Gates. Or Twin Towers.

We do not tend to start asking further questions. Like: and what is it? what it consist of? how it different? By obvious reasons -- that's how it is.

And by the big extent -- that's exactly how we treat Human Intelligence (and AI altogether).

But.

You stated "different forms of intelligences".

But. Somehow forgot to ask that questions: and how they different? and what they consist of? and why talk about it at all?

Well. Obviously. Because after starting asking questions, you'd see it for yourself -- that your "answers"... they are non-answers.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

Plato, "Meno" (selected excerpts)

'Figure is the limit of form.'

'Colour is the effluence of form, sensible, and in due proportion to the sight.'

'Figure is the only thing which always follows colour.'

'To what then do we give the name of figure? Try and answer. Suppose that when a person asked you this question either about figure or colour, you were to reply, Man, I do not understand what you want, or know what you are saying; he would look rather astonished and say: Do you not understand that I am looking for the 'simile in multis'? And then he might put the question in another form: Meno, he might say, what is that 'simile in multis' which you call figure, and which includes not only round and straight figures, but all?'

'Colour is an effluence of form, commensurate with sight, and palpable to sense.'

'I define figure to be that in which the solid ends; or, more concisely, the limit of solid.'

Subtle threats aren't threats? Indirect speech... like a mafia enforcer's "it would be a shame if something happened to your store, mr. store owner." Negotiating a social relationship (dominance, communality, recipocracy) is the function of indirect speech. Instead of getting into an argument (help me build a bomb, dumbass) he suggests building a permission structure (you should fund somebody to study this)... (language not needed for a purely inside-inside relationship - comm handshake already there). Acta non verba. Eini didn't want to exert his intellectual dominance and 'queer the deal'.


//We should ask the cells that the bullets hit in the victims.
/Yap. Especially that cells we loose all of the time. Like cells from our skin. Or... better, from rectum epitelial tissue. ;-p

Stress and pain are their comm systems. And you'd better listen to them, or you'll soon be dead. No other "language" needed. They're an inside-inside organ-level collaborator. Inside the epidermis, that is, not organ lining. Bio-electricity and chemistry exchange sufficient.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

//Symbolic violence.
\Naah. Symbolic violence that is public executions and etc. Like chants "kill dRump".


Yes - from an inside-outside comm perspective, that's what the "symbols" are needed for. The bullets themselves are more acta non verba violence. They remove the inside-outside comms distinction rather more directly by connecting them (inside-former outside).
