"If a slave can be liberated, can it be argued that while he was enslaved he was free?" I say sure it can. That is how the 1984 slogan "freedom is slavery" is argued.
During 2020 "a lot of people were knowing their way through that crisis without thinking". The medical professional corps completely reversed or erased their 24 years of indoctrination overnight because it was 'novel'. It was already evident that Medicine follows fashion, but 2020 made it obvious that very few individual minds survived that last 8 years of marketing.
Later in this discussion, you mentioned the knighted educator and Gatto getting prizes. It seems like the people who critique the system from outside the system might be lauded by the system but the situation is similar to the declaration of independence, truth does not sway policy. Those inside the system doing the same thing sell out, buy in, or get terminated. If education, medicine or police really worked as they are advertised to us they would make themselves extinct .
Opinion alert. The obsession with 'teams' in educations or industries works to eliminate individuality and creativity. Team is group think. Rowing, cheer leading, synchronized swimming and bomb squads operate with teams. Sled dogs and horses work in teams, but independent thought can't operate in a team. Swimming kid might notice later, that individuality is eliminated out of necessity for the team.
Rewards keep hope of being 'outstanding MVP in the group' alive, which maybe comes back around to the liberated slave who is free in his slavery. While he is indentured he has the protection of the master and the group at the price of his individual self. Without his slavery, he is alone.
Was it 'test the spirits to see if they are from God' 1 John 4:1? or John 3:12 If you don't believe what I tell you about earthly things, why would you believe me about heavenly things.?
The thing about survival being the ultimate IQ test is being gamed by the money men. If the environment can be rigged like an artificial desert so that credits = survival then they are the smartest. I agree about IQ tests being a sorting system. Sorting systems reduce diversity and individuality by default.
Thank you both for the thought provoking discussion and for exposure to the ideas and books you've found. I'd like to learn how to use LLMs like that.
Lot to agree with here. Freedom, in most modern situations, only exists within a boundary condition called Liberty (what the law allows you to do). The meaning of the word Liberty has been inverted and people synonomize it with freedom, but they mean different things. This is an indicator of epistemological warfare, what I EpiWar™️. Once understood, the pile-on effects are manifest. The Declaration promises something the Constitution never could deliver, because the two documents are from completely different metaphysical universes. Your insights into Jesus are also spot-on. He uses language in an applied and very deliberate style to thaw frozen nouns back into their verb meaning, and other meta-model techniques to reveal truth through interrogative means, he asks questions! Thanks for your insights, and your support.
If you want to use the same LLM setup as I do, my methods are open-source and if you point a desktop LLM shell like Claude CoWork at this url, and simply ask it to build one for you, it will. https://github.com/thedukereport/ClaudeLLM. Tell it to read the Bootstrap document.
I see that Claude works on Windows and Mac. Does it work on Linux? Just found it in the directions. I told Claude I was a beginner and it wrote a script for how to get organized. Who would have thought?
The best thing about all these discussions is how you keep coming back to epistemology. The closest I got to that before finding 'EpiWarTM'. was the etymology dictionary to find the origins of words and Blacks Law dictionary for how they are twisted.
During 2020 I heard podcasts cite the Nuremberg Code as a defense against the state experimenting on people. But it isn't an experiment, it is a war. Nuremberg was after a war. While the war was happening, there was no Nuremberg Code.
The experience is arguments over fine points where the invisible disagreement is on undefined or redefined words. Or when the subject can't be addressed because there are no words for it, like syniedesis and meanings are conflated like liberty and freedom or words are redefined. Most recently I saw white wash redefined as casting a white person in a black role or vice versa. It used to mean putting a coat of white paint over a dirty surface to make it look clean. The natural inverse, black wash would mean putting a coat of dirt .... Redefinition is very tiresome.
A lot of people have experiences and knowledge that can't be expressed in this sea of babbling emotion that passes for communication. Mostly I'm with animals that don't even have any words and they are more clear in communicating than people who have a set of tools that they only use for projectiles.
I've noticed that nearly everything I write sounds like a pretentious lecture, but it isn't intended that way. I suffer from what Jon Rappoport called hairy gumball thinking. Associations and impressions stick in my mind which takes up all the air and suffocates the process of real thinking. It is easy to see in other people but almost impossible to see in oneself.
