THE SEVEN TYPES OF AMBIGUITY (CONFLATIONISM)
by William Empson
1 – The first type of ambiguity is the metaphor, that is, when two things are said to be alike which have different properties. This concept is similar to that of metaphysical conceit.
2 – Two or more meanings are resolved into one. Empson characterizes this as using two different metaphors at once.
3 – Two ideas that are connected through context can be given in one word simultaneously.
4 – Two or more meanings that do not agree but combine to make clear a complicated state of mind in the speaker.
5 – When the author discovers his idea in the act of writing. Empson describes a simile that lies halfway between two statements made by the author.
6 – When a statement says nothing and the readers are forced to invent a statement of their own, most likely in conflict with that of the author.
7 – Two words that within context are opposites that expose a fundamental division in the author’s mind.

—“One of things that led me to follow you and the other guys on here is the way in which your use of operational speech is clear and simple to understand. But what I’ve learned through trying to contribute a few comments here and there, is that writing in this way is not easy. There’s a cost involved. Constructing arguments operationally and ensuring they are free from error, bias etc takes time and effort (and I make no pretense of being any good at this yet). No wonder the left takes the cheap and easy route of using lies.”—- Andy Lunn

The Correct Answer: Our Women Were Recruited and Converted
September 21st, 2018 4:01 PM THE CORRECT ANSWER: OUR WOMEN WERE RECRUITED AND CONVERTED (a) genetics (we have higher neoteny), (b) homogeneity developed low clannishness although we maintain high disgust sensitivity, (c) commercial societies develop liberalism since everyone is a customer for either marriage, cooperation, business, or politics (d) christianity pushed universalism in there as well which caused the really bad consequences (e) WORSE women cause the openness to suicide by immigration. Men have voted consistently against it. So OUR WOMEN WERE RECRUITED AND DEFECTED JUST AS THEY DID UNDER CHRISTIANITY.

September 21st, 2018 3:26 PM A MORE PRODUCTIVE APPROACH
by Carl Onni I think this is more productive:- Most if them do not know they are engaging in female behaviour. They are children not opponents.
Some of them will change to male behaviour if this is understood.
-Those who never will change, will only gain by having an opponent they feel is easy to demonise. The goal of every interaction with these people should therefore be to simultaneously accomplish the following:
- Demonstrate moral high ground, because we actually hold it, and it makes demonisation of us a more costly strategy and it makes conversion or productive communication more likely.
Shame and ridicule those that will never change, but only as a means to increase the odds of change in the subset that are capable of change.
As with all children truth must be administered in manageable doses. Cant tell a 5 year old his paintings are terrible. But perhaps its most productive to just go full force Team Truth (TM)? But i have the suspicion it is only preaching to the choir.
- Most if them do not know they are engaging in female behaviour. They are children not opponents.
