“How do we take a measure of something?” vs “How do we observe something”
THese are synonymous statements, since our observations are narrowly constrained to human scale, and that any observation beyond human scale (perception) requires some form of instrumentation, and some form of scale by which to describe changes in state. There is no difference between instrumentation captured by the eye or that captured by complex scientific machinery other than, while both are often equally fallible, we are born with the first, and must construct the second. But in both cases, external changes in state must be reduced to stimuli that we can contrast and compare.

🙂 FIRST
Quality that provides an exceptional experience and peak emotional satisfaction is timeless. The more experience you have the more you appreciate quality, and well tested perfection outshines fresh mediocrity. I don’t care about being first. I don’t even care about the number and frequency of drivers. I only care about whatever record of passage that previous drivers have left behind. Only the inexperienced an those lacking confidence care about being first. Aesthetes appreciate perfection that only quality can provide.

If I am correct, then dialectical materialism is (as Kant earlier suggested of dialectic), merely a deceptive obscurantism.
But it serves as confirmation of cosmopolitan low trust ethics: fidelity (search for consent); and unlike aristocratic (empirical) ethics, it has nothing to do with the discovery of truth.
In the European anglo empirical model, we seek the truth and commit fidelity to it. In the cosmopolitan model we seek consent and fidelity regardless if truth.
Warriors can die. Traders merely bear losses.

I grew up surrounded by women, married young and perpetuated it.
I didnt realize it was a luxury.

My Glossary alone is over 100 pages. So I will have to label necessary terms. And see what can be cut. But not much can be. Why? Because of you cleanse terms of the various fallacies endemic to democracy and the legitimacy of the state, as well as various philosophical fallacies, then the set of terms that does not need restatement is small.
Our language is polluted.

Good friends ask you the right questions, and give you the right criticisms. Good friends make you more of what you can be, than you could be without them. I am lucky I have such good friends.
Thank you.

OK. I just blew my own mind. Now, I need more coffee. It’s noon. Dark as hell. Raining like an Nor’easter downpour, with thundering and lightning like the Catatumbo delta. I need more coffee. Yeah. And to let all this settle in a bit.
