    P GRAMMARS TIE ALL THE WAYS OF KNOWING TOGETHER

    by Ryan Drummond

    I think reading Jung without reading Nietzsche can easily bait one into intellectual (and moral) hazard.

    I’d say, too, that reading Nietzsche without reading the cognitive sciences or the work of yourself, for example, can bait people into empirical hazard.

    The breadth of such work simply can’t be understood by reading one author, or even two authors.

    You need to cover the existential, the theological, the moral, the historical, the cultural, the psyche, and the scientific objectivity to get a ‘clearer’ picture of the totality.

    Even then we can easily fall into traps of bias and error!

    I admire how P takes all of these things and knits them together into a logical web of truth that can be followed and understood a little more clearly by those with no exposure or those with partial exposure to these things.

    It also, if you want to take it far enough, opens up avenues of thought and totality for even hardened scholars in such fields of study.

    A CRITICAL PRINCIPLE

    By @[572499615:2048:Daniel Roland Anderson]

    If you ever want to understand Natural Law, this is a critical principle.

    If you have not performed Due Diligence, and you serve as a conduit for falsehood, you are “lying” under the P definition of lying.

    So sometimes when we call you liar, we aren’t saying you are wicked. It could be you are simply . . . simple.Updated Apr 3, 2020, 10:46 AM

    by Luke Weinhagen

    “Axioms”, like “First principles”, are a common property. You can not define them without the concept “we”. It is a contradiction to build an ideology that denies commons on a foundation of commons. This foundation is what libertarianism scavenges from ideologies that invest in and defend those properties.

    BLACK ROCK’S ROLE IN THE FED TRANSACTIONS

    by Herbert Hackett

    BlackRock was the broker between the Fed and the Treasury. The Treasury owns the assets, the Fed provided the money at zero interest, BlackRock brokered the deal for free.

    —Would you if you can, explain what broker means in this context for the audience.—

    Well, the most layman term I can use is that BlackRock was the middleman. The Treasury instructed what it wanted to purchase, BlackRock went out and arranged the deal, and then using funds from the Fed (at zero interest) the Treasury gave the money to BlackRock, who then gave the money to the other party to transfer the assets over to the Treasury.

    The most important detail of course, is the fact that BlackRock did this without receiving any sort of commission or “cut” of the money that it was transferring for the purchases. In other words, they were in a way “commandeered” or “conscripted” to fulfill this role.

    Once the deal is done, BlackRock no longer has any part of the deal. They didn’t make anything from it, they don’t own any of the assets.

    —Why would a broker like Black Rock want to do this?—

    More likely than not they didn’t have much choice. The treasury and by extension the Executive branch, with the permission of the legislative branch (remember this whole thing was approved by Congress) enabled the government to compel BlackRock to do this by law.

    Not that it’s any detriment to them, of course. At worst it could be seen as a waste of time, but at best they can use this as an opportunity to say, “Look at the deal we arranged! Trillions of dollars and assets transferred without a single hitch. You too could benefit from our services!”

    Before this event, BlackRock was already the biggest in the world at what they do. If nothing else this has only solidified their name in that respect.
