Precision in Argument vs Transfer of Meaning
Most of what I encounter is people trying to talk about precise things dependent upon reason and deduction, while relying on imprecise language from which reason and deduction are largely impossible. One cannot make deductive arguments from the common speech – which is full of error and ignorance. There is a very good reason that each discipline uses specific terminoligy despite the confusion that this creates for non-members: some degree of precision is necessary for the purpose of argument.
Law still uses latin terms for good reason: they’re not open to colloquial interpretation. -

Realities of IQ in Business
(No jimmy, not everyone can join the upper middle class) People above 140 come up with new concepts. People above 130 come up with new business ideas. People above 120 exploit niches in markets with existing ideas. People above 110 work harder than others are willing to at capturing marginal opportunities at lower profit, that better companies are unwilling to chase. People above 100 might, if they’re lucky manage well. People below 100 do the work of bringing others’ ideas to fruition. People below 85 are too difficult and expensive to train to work on ideas.
(If you thought of it, and you arent’ in the 130+ category, someone thought of it already, and decided it wasn’t possible, or worth it. on the other hand, if you are willing to serve niche customers who you can empathize with that is something you can turn into money. But you must get customers, you cannot attract them.) -

A steel machete if pointed, sharpened, even primitively on a grinding wheel, is a an exceptional relatively invisible weapon. With one in the left hand, inverted as a shield, and a second held point forward, it is very capable pair of weapons. Add a motorcycle helmet and some football pads, and you’re pretty dangerous hand-to-hand. Especially in formation. A row of spearmen behind using broomstick handles with butcher knives attached, and a bit of rope nailed on here and there for grip, and now it’s getting difficult to close on you. A row of men with molotovs behind and now you’ve got a retreat mechanism, or the ability to attack buildings. A set of runners who replenish the molotovs – throwing them is a skill, so use skilled throwers like skilled archers – and so use runners to keep them busy. None of this costs any real money.
I watched men making shields out of steel plate during the revolution. They set-up shop right inside one of the captured bulidings. They won’t stop a rifle bullet. But they force the government to use rifle bullets against you – and thus invalidate themselves.
You can however, buy shields that will, and it’s possible for a host of men to hide behind five of them if they hit the ground, and aren’t vulnerable from multiple sides.
The strategy is to use these men to attract police in force, to oppose them, and then to use rifles from a distance to take out the police in large numbers once they’re in the open.
Bait power, and kill it. Until there is no power left to bait. Or no power willing to take the bait. And once you have freedom of movement, you have won.
Soldiers return to barracks. politicians and police return to homes. In ukraine, men followed them home. You must only exhaust their willingness to fight. Most men will flee if they lost ten percent of their corps. Police are no different.
The goal is not to gain control. But to face the military to take control. It is in their interest at present to take control. They need only the opportunity and justification. So we must remove the option not to take control.

When arguing under natural law it is not so important that you master all the contracts (legislations) and processes (regulations). The reason being that legislations and regulations are always open to revision or refutation if they violate the One Law. So while many layers of contract and regulation may result in conformity to the One Law, it is also possible that they may result in violation of the One Law. And the only way we know that is through FULL ACCOUNTING.
