    Most of the time, a consulting company acts as an agent that is outside of the political process, so yes. Conversely, almost universally, the upper 1/2 of any consulting organization is far better than the upper 1% of any department they work for. The reason is simple: all companies that hire consultants within a 3 to 5 year window, are solving the same problems in all their customers within different political and incentive structures – and so none of the problems are ever difficult – only getting them done in the political structure of the organization. The problem is simple economics: people in companies invest in what they do, and change, success, or falure, threaten those investments (their property). A good consultant discovers these investments and promotes them and illustrates how they contributed to the current success. Unfortunately for example, most tech innovation other than improving user interface workflow tends to be a waste of money and all strategy and marketing and strategic consulting is just a way of circumventing a management organization malinvested in a prior.

    Pls: see wiki. agency (social science). agency vs structure. people have agency or not. the society produces structure that inhibits it. then see our (bill, eli, me) extension of it to include the individual’s abilities. Then see my via-negativa work on agency, morality, truth such that we produce each by the elimination of ignorance, error, bias, deceit, fraud, theft, and violence, and limit ourselves the production of omniscience, and by omniscience, omnipotence.

    There were neanderthals in britain weighing 190 pounds, and 5’10” tall and built like a boxer, half a million years ago. 33,000 years ago, modern humans. when it was still a peninsula.

    SO, WHY STUDY PHILOSOPHY OTHER THAN FRAUD OF SELF AND OTHERS?

    —“So are you saying that rigorously interpreting a text is by definition pilpul and therefore bad? How do you read philosophy then?”— postmodernist.

    (a) Is that what I am saying? And (b) Why would anyone read either theology or philosophy in the age of math, logic, sciences, economics, law, history, and literature – each of which is less vulnerable to fraud and confirmation bias, than sophism (philosophy) and magic(theology)?

    (c) because the only reason to do so is to justify perpetuate a fraud, commit a falsehood, justify a bias, or admit one’s incompetence at developing sufficient mindfulness (agency) to leave fantasy fiction literature behind.

    (d) the reason to write philosophy and theology is precisely to avoid math, logic, science, economics, law, biography, and history. …

    (e) There is no other reason to do so – which is why Abrahamic Theology, Platonic(literary) philosophy, their conflation in the medieval era, and continental reconstruction after anglo empirical falsification of it, was constructed.

    REMOVE THE SILLY SPIRITUALITY NONSENSE AND THE POINT IS SOLID.

    If you read the research on the success of the alt/hard right, it is very clear: “the key people put together text and video that explains the subject matter and this education is the reason for their success.”

    In this post, the author is reiterating Mao’s message that ‘education’ is necessary for guerrilla warfare, and the western proposition that it is unnecessary and undesirable in a standing army is a reflection of our dependence upon rule of law and markets rather than authority and managed economy.

    ===

    by Elders of the Black Sun 3 (some kid i don’t knw who)

    “In the United States, we go to considerable trouble to keep soldiers out of politics, and even more to keep politics out of soldiers.

    Guerrillas do exactly the opposite.

    They go to great lengths to make sure that their men are politically educated and thoroughly aware of the issues at stake.

    A trained and disciplined guerrilla is much more than a patriotic peasant, workman, or student armed with an antiquated fowling-piece and a home-made bomb.

    His indoctrination begins even before he is taught to shoot accurately, and it is unceasing.

    The end product is an intensely loyal and politically alert fighting man.

    Guerrilla leaders spend a great deal more time in organization, instruction, agitation, and propaganda work than they do fighting, for their most important job is to win over the people.

    “We must patiently explain,” says Mao Tse-tung.

    “Explain”, “persuade”, “discuss”, “convince”—these words recur with monotonous regularity in many of the early Chinese essays on guerrilla war.

    Mao has aptly compared guerrillas to fish, and the people to the water in which they swim.

    If the political temperature is right, the fish, however few in number, will thrive and proliferate.

    It is therefore the principal concern of all guerrilla leaders to get the water to the right temperature and to keep it there.”

    Brigadier General Samuel B. Griffith, USMC



    “The political goal must be clearly and precisely indicated to inhabitants of guerrilla zones and their national consciousness awakened.” – Mao tse-Tung
