So, let us try to begin from a point that I might outline like this: I trust that my reference to a new and little-understood method of waging *war* (5th generation warfare) is taken as having validity? Again, we start from a position where we do not know what is going on, and yet we sense that we ourselves are the battleground where *war* is being fought, so in order to proceed we have to admit to some powerlessness, some confusion.Lacewing wrote: ↑Mon Sep 04, 2023 5:26 pmLike most presidents, Biden is striving to do good things according to his perspectives that represent various people while also being embroiled in a delusional and corrupted environment... just as Trump was. I don't have to frame or say things in your limited/skewed way or to suit you, I.C... so, get the fuck over yourself and fuck off.
But here is the thing: we strive for some interpretation, any interpretation, if it avails us of some interpretive power. Not to know, now to understand, is excruciating, isn't it? So even a wrong interpretation, or one involving partial truth, is "comforting".
The thing about IC -- since my view is that we are not so much conversing about *the world out there* as we are in fact conversing about ourselves -- is that we suspect that the interpretation and perspective he offers is slanted, or partial, or tilted in specific directions because of other predicates and commitments that may not have much to do with politics.
What a curious problem we face then! But I veer away from any statement about IC and return to ourselves: we are in a similar, but not quite the same, boat. That is, our predicates and in a sense our ideological commitments, our *cherished notions*, intrude at every point whether we see them or not. Or perhaps especially when we are unaware of their force.
Here is an interesting presentation on 5th Generation Warfare. I find that I agree with his (or their) perspectives but should *agreement* be suspect in itself?
The reason this (all) interests me is because of something I observed months ago: here, among those who come to read, write and express, there is NO AGREEMENT at the most basic levels. There are factional battles and certain people seem to take up one side and fight against those on the opposing side -- roughly Biden-Trump! or Leftish politics vs whatever politics Wizard or Walker are supposed to have vs whatever the politics of Flash or Sculptor are.
But I think there is a lack of comprehension of the degree to which we are operating within a Construct.
I see...please list all the "good things" Biden has done for America. And don't forget the economy, the oil supply, the war, the debacle in Afghanistan, influence peddling, the border crisis...
