    (FB 1542209378 Timestamp) Karl Popper created (from aristotle, weber, and pareto) the method of analytic philosophy I make use of, which includes Definitions, Series, Lists, Tables, and parentheticals. He used italics a lot but italics aren’t available or I would us Italics where I use Initial Capitals to denote the name of a definition in a series I have defined elsewhere.

    (FB 1542389170 Timestamp) —“Basically in layman’s terms: There are infinite frames of references (paradigms). We can choose an arbitrary frame of reference within some set of paradigms, or we can use the OPERATIONAL frame of reference consisting of fully commensurable terms, or the mathematical frame of that same reference, that allows us to speak in a standardized format, such that we can discuss across domains and disciplines”—Yiannis Kontinopoulos (edited)

    (FB 1542395308 Timestamp) Polysyllables. Pah’-lee-sill’-uh-bulls. And long chains of reasoning, fully accounting for costs. Approval, Disapproval, and Moralizing don’t take polysyllables and long chains of reasoning fully accounting for costs. It’s your reaction to being called out for having tried to escape payments of costs in exchange for gains.

    (FB 1542560560 Timestamp) USING SERIES TO TEST A LINE OF CONSTANT RELATIONS ACROSS SCALES —“Always love this structure of Aphorism”— A Twitter Friend danqueseq (referring to use of series to illustrate a concept) One point – an ideal, or ideal type – tells you nothing. Three points to test a line. More points falsify the line such that it is increasingly free of ignorance, error, bias and deceit. Hence, demand for definitions in series as a defense against conflation, inflation, and fictionalism. -hugs brother.
