There is a vast difference between being educated and being knowledgeable. In theory education leads to knowledge in practice that doesn’t appear the case unless on learns formulae for categorization calculation and transformation of states – instead it leads to indoctrination.
The academy is thee enemy of our people.
It is a worse enemy than the church.

MORE ON LEARNING OPERATIONAL GRAMMAR
by
What is the difference between an actor and subject? My understanding of traditional grammar is that:
“John threw the ball”
Subject-verb-object
Which you describe as
Actor-operation-subject
John is an actor in this case, and the “subject” (as I was taught in school, anyway).
Another example:
“The fruit fell from the tree”
Subject-verb-object
In this sentence, one might think the actor is gravity, or the wind. Since that is what caused the change in state.
From a testimonial or vitruvian measurement, though, it would be more like:
“I saw the fruit fall from the tree.”
The actor is myself as an observer? And the subject is the fruit?
Any clarification on terms “actor” and “subject”?
by Adam Jacob Robert Walker
You could consider the tree as an actor as well.
The tree produces fruit.
But a tree isn’t necessarily following incentives. But rather it’s “act” is a result of nature adaptations or mechanisms of survival.
I think you are correct that you’d have to switch it to the orientation of the observer.
I saw the fruit fall from the tree (actor-action), after I went outside to get my mail (incentive to go outside and observe), and the fruit splattered on my driveway (state change on the ground).
I think “subject” refers to the concept in which the whole of the testimony describes, but through the description of operations by an actor or group of actors.
by Bill Joslin
In english grammar the subject is the agent subject-verb-object. the subject “acts upon” the object (side note: this distinction subject “that which acts upon”and object “that which is acted upon” lay the foundation for the initial use of the terms subjective, objective. prior to the 19th century of so, religion was considered the pursuit of “objective trusth” in that one would he changed by the truth (truth acts upon the seeker) and subjective truth was what one did when they sought truth to a specific ends (such as science investigates a particular phenomenon to eventually be able to do something with it). the rise of science (seeking truth to a specific ends) “killed” objective truth – this was the assertion in Horkhiemer and Adorno’ Dialectic of enlightenment.
by Adam Jacob Robert Walker
Nice. That puts it in a philosophical context for me. I wasn’t aware of all that.
by Curt Doolittle
[I promise I saw] [gravity cause] the fruit [fall/fell] [from the tree] [to the ground.]
Promise, Testimony, Actor, Subject of testimony, Transaction.
Use subject or object if you want, but my point is that we need to use “actor, and in the OP that I started this discourse with, I was making the point that we habitually start sentences with the subject being acted upon to provide context, and the cost of ‘thinking’ in operational terms is the extra step required to start with actor instead – which eliminates the problem of the verb to be from the sentence structure.
If you have a difficulty with eliminating the verb to be, start with the actor not the object( or as I prefer, subject).
ADAM IS CORRECT:
Actor, Subject.
—“I think “subject” refers to the concept in which the whole of the testimony describes, but through the description of operations by an actor or group of actors.”—
Well done!!!!!

(from elsewhere)
The word mathematics was coined by the Pythagoreans in the 6th century from the Greek word μάθημα (mathema), which means “subject of instruction.” There are many different types of mathematics based on their focus of study. Here are some of them:
1. Algebra
algebra
Algebra is a broad division of mathematics. Algebra uses variable (letters) and other mathematical symbols to represent numbers in equations. It is basically completing and balancing the parts on the two sides of the equation.
It can be considered as the unifying type of all the fields in mathematics. Algebra’s concept first appeared in an Arabic book which has a title that roughly translates to ‘the science of restoring of what is missing and equating like with like.’ The word came from Arabic which means completion of missing parts.
2. Geometry
geometry
The word geometry comes from the Greek words ‘gē’ meaning ‘Earth’ and ‘metria’ meaning ‘measure’. It is the mathematics concerned with questions of shape, size, positions, and properties of space.
It also studies the relationship and properties of set of points. It involves the lines, angles, shapes, and spaces formed.
3. Trigonometry
trigonometry
Trigonometry comes from the Greek words ‘trigōnon’ which means ‘triangle’ and ‘metria’ which means ‘measure’. As its name suggests, it is the study the sides and angles, and their relationship in triangles.
Some real life applications of trigonometry are navigation, astronomy, oceanography, and architecture.
4. Calculus
calculus
Calculus is an advanced branch of mathematics concerned in finding and properties of derivatives and integrals of functions. It is the study of rates of change and deals with finding lengths, areas, and volumes.
Calculus is used by engineers, economists, scientists such as space scientists, etc.
5. Linear Algebra
linear-algebra
Linear algebra is a branch of mathematics and a subfield of algebra. It studies lines, planes, and subspaces. It is concerned with vector spaces and linear mappings between those spaces.
This branch of mathematics is used in chemistry, cryptography, geometry, linear programming, sociology, the Fibonacci numbers, etc.
6. Combinatorics
combinatorics
The name combinatorics might sound complicated, but combinatorics is just different methods of counting. The word was derived from the word ‘combination’, therefore in is used to combine objects following rules of arranging those objects.
There are two combinatorics categories: enumeration and graph theory. Permutation, an arrangement where order matters, is often used in both of the categories.
7. Differential Equations
differential-equations
As the name suggest, differential equations are not really a branch of mathematics, rather a type of equation. It is any equation that contains either ordinary derivatives or partial derivatives.
The equations define the relationship between the function, which represents physical quantities, and the derivatives, which represents the rates of change.
8. Real Analysis
real-analysis
Real analysis is also called the theory of functions of a real variable. It is concerned with the axioms dealing with real numbers and real-valued functions of a real-variable.
It is pure mathematics, and is good for people who like plane geometry and proving.
9. Complex Analysis
complex-analysis
Complex analysis is also called the theory of functions of a complex variable. It deals with complex numbers and their derivatives, manipulation, and other properties. Complex analysis is applied in electrical engineering, when launching satellite, etc.
10. Abstract Algebra
abstract-algebra
Sometimes called modern algebra, abstract algebra is an advanced field in algebra concerning the extension of algebraic concepts such as real number systems, complex numbers, matrices, and vector spaces.
One application of abstract algebra is cryptography; elliptic curve cryptography involves a lot of algebraic number theory and the likes.
11. Topology
topology
Topology is a type of geometry developed in the 19th century. Its name’s Greek origin, which is ‘topos’, means place. Unlike the other types of geometry, it is not concerned with the exact dimensions, shapes, and sizes of a region.
It studies the physical space a surface unaffected by distortion contiguity, order, and position. Topology is applied in the study of the structure of the universe and in designing robots.
12. Number Theory
number-theory
Number theory, or higher arithmetic, is the study of positive integers, their relationships, and properties. It is sometimes referred to as “The Queen of Mathematics” because of its foundational function in the subject.
13. Logic
logic
Logic is the discipline in mathematics that studies formal languages, formal reasoning, the nature of mathematical proof, probability of mathematical statements, computability, and other aspects of the foundations of mathematics.
It aims to eliminate any confusion that can be caused by the vagueness of the natural language.
14. Probability
probability
Probability is the branch of mathematics calculating the chances of some things to take place based on the number of the possible cases to the whole number of cases possible. Numbers from 0-1 are used to express the chances of something to occur.
0 means it can never happen and 1 means it will always happen. Real-life applications are in gambling, lottery, sports analysis, games, weather forecasting, etc.
15. Statistics
statistics
Statistics are the collection, analysis, measurement, interpretation, presentation and summarization of data. Statistics is used in many fields such as business analytics, demography, epidemiology, population ecology, etc.
16. Game Theory
game-theory
Game theory is a branch of mathematics which also involves psychology, economics, contract theory, and sociology. It analyses strategies for dealing with competitive strategies where the outcome also depends on other actions of other partaker in the activity.
It is applied in business, wars, political sciences, biology, philosophy, etc.
17. Functional Analysis
functional-analysis
Functional analysis is under the field of mathematical analysis. Its foundation is the study of vector spaces that has limit-related structure such as topology, inner product, norm, etc.
It was developed through the study of functions and the formulation of properties of transformation. Functional analysis is found to be useful for differential and integral equations.
18. Algebraic Geometry
algebraic-geometry
Algebraic geometry is a branch of mathematics that uses algebraic expressions to describe geometric properties of structures.
19. Differential Geometry
differential-geometry
Differential geometry is a field in mathematics that utilizes different mathematical techniques (differential calculus, integral calculus, linear algebra, and multilinear algebra) to study geometric problems.
It is used in different studies of electromagnetism, econometrics, geometric modeling, digital signal processing in engineering, study of geological structures.
20. Dynamical Systems (Chaos Theory)
dynamical-systems-chaos-theory
Dynamical Systems (also referred to as chaos theory) is a mathematical concept where the relationship of a point in space to time is described a fixed set of rules. This concept explains the swinging of a clock pendulum, flow of water in a pie, number of fishes in a lake during springtime, etc.
21. Numerical Analysis
numerical-analysis
Numerical analysis is an area in mathematics which develops, evaluates, and applies algorithms for numerically solving problems that occur throughout the natural sciences, social sciences, medicine, engineering and business.
22. Set Theory
set-theory
Set theory is a discipline in mathematics that is concerned with the formal properties of a well-defined set of objects as units (regardless of the nature of each element) and using set as a means of expression of other branch of math.
Every object in the set has something similar or follows a rule, and they are called the elements.
23. Category Theory
category-theory
Category theory is a formalism that is used for representing and manipulating concepts and symbolic representations of domains. Here, the collection of objects and of arrows formalizes mathematical structure.
24. Model Theory
model-theory
Model theory in mathematics is the study of different structures from a logical standpoint. It involves interpretation of formal and natural languages and the kinds of classifications they can make.
25. Mathematical Physics
mathematical-physics
Mathematics as mentioned earlier is used in many different other fields. Physics is just one of them. Mathematical physics refers to the mathematical methods applied for different studies and development in physics.
26. Discrete Mathematics
discrete-mathematics
Unlike the many other ones mentioned above, discrete mathematics is not a branch, but a description of the study of mathematical structures that are discrete rather than continuous.
Discrete objects, in simple languages, are the countable objects such as integers. Therefore, discrete mathematics does not include calculus and analysis.

The biggest impact all of us seem to have is (a) share posts and tweets, (b) to make short video about our solutions not methodology (c) to make short videos how some one of our policies solves a problem for both right and left, and (d) we need to spend this year starting a political party.
We need to appeal to both sides as finding a peaceful resolution.
The purpose of civil war position is to remind both sides that the unthinkable is thinkable, and possible – that’s why we need to take positive action to resolve differences.
