[FRIAM] [ SPAM ] Re: [ SPAM ] where is the real threat?

2015-06-29 Thread Steve Smith

Well riposted Marcus...

It has been a while since the playing field has been a simple 
one-dimensional good/evil, light/dark, black/white  I don't have a 
good formulation of this parsimony principle, but systems do seem to be 
as low dimensional as possible, but no lower... in the spirit of Willem 
of Occam or Einstein's (as simple as possible but no simpler).


I would say that rapid motion (growth/change, etc) offers more 
exploitable territory in the same landscape... when that landscape is 
flooded, then we have new dimensions emerge (fish begin to fly, 
salamanders gills begin to function in (humid) air, lillypads reach up 
out of the swamp, etc.).


In this use of the term occult, I suppose we are meaning both operating 
in (otherwise) uncharted territories as well as discovering new 
dimensional/modalities.

Anyway, my point is basically that even the majority-vs-minority conception is in 
the domain of Light.  To be Dark means appreciating the entire (occult) mechanism, but 
especially focusing on the rarely used pathways.

I'll distinguish between popular and powerful pathways.   A reason the 
powers-that-be circle the wagons on things like renewable energy is because 
they had/have enough instinctive fear to imagine it could well succeed; so, in 
the medium term, obstacles must be created to slow it.  (Until they can hire 
people with interest of this occult mechanism to sort it out for them.)   Being 
 an early bitcoin miner was pretty much a requirement for being a bitcoin 
millionaire (at least with the means later to make large capital investments).  
  Even in the mainstream trading systems, the exploitable inefficiencies are 
transitory, and knowledge of them is held closely by the people that model 
those systems.   Again, rarely used pathways lead to profit.  Imagination and 
the occult go together.   Rapid growth and the occult go together.

Marcus -

I'm a fan of dynamic binding, even/especially of natural language...

I recently met/visited Glen en-vivo and can report that there were no 
pentacles or other obviously occult gear (or tattoos) evident.   We 
enjoyed some good beer and conversation...  equally entertaining to our 
online banter,  but smoother with frosty beverages in-hand!


With Doug it requires a few slugs of Scotch...

Dynamically binding this word Glen likes to the probable/apparent meaning.   
There's no point in fighting it.  :-)

I refer to my prior remark about the long game.   First they build trust..  
Run!  Run!

Say the word and you'll be free[*]
Say the word and be like me
In the beginning I misunderstood
But now I've got it, the word is good
Spread the word and you'll be free
Spread the word and be like me

[*] within a composition of your schema anyway.
