Via Negativa: Provide us with a description so that we can constrain our imagination to that which you seek to communicate. Identity allows us to constrain our imagination so that we can construct the experience.

    (FB 1543945333 Timestamp) —“Q:CURT, WHAT ARE LOADING AND FRAMING?”— LOADING: Inserting or removing value judgements, emotions, approval and disapproval, into an argument where they merely obscure the truth. FRAMING: Inserting or removing narrative into the content to imply motives, incentives, intentions, other than those that exist. You should know these two tactics as well as substituting disapproval or approval for argument, as well as all the logical fallacies, and the memory, social, and cognitive biases. If you do not understand these things you are an amateur that needs to maybe study logic and rhetoric, and perhaps the list of ideologies.

    (FB 1543934848 Timestamp) THE GRAMMARS AND THEIR FRAMES (important) Theology readers, vs philosophy readers, vs literature readers, vs historians, vs biologists, vvs jurists, s economists, vs physicist, vs programmers, vs mathematicians. Teach: Arts, Technologies, Economies, Laws, and Wars. In other words DEMONSTRATED history, not REPORTED history. Or stated differently, theology, philosophy, literature, and history, are just as vulnerable to REPORTING BIAS as are the pseudosciences of metaphysics, psychology, sociology, and ‘political science’. What’s the difference, and why have the pseudosciences (reportings) of the written word been so damaging compared to the law, sciences, logics, and mathematics? Lack of agency. Utility of coercion. Utility of deceit. -Curt Doolittle The Propertarian Institute
