Take Back Control ...
Today—for political conservatives--the three most important words are: Action Action Action.
President Donald J. Trump and his Cabinet and The Bret Bair Eight et al. are doing the best in ACTION that can be done right now in the need to take back the Government from the Collectivists.
The hard core Trumpian Supporters (Fox News Broadcaster persons) and sympathizers (me and too many Podcaster sympathizers to name) are doing the best that can be done right now to support the ACTION takers.
That is, the “best” if you accept this premise:
The United States of America—politically--is in a battle right now between the Perfect Collectivists—Democrats—and the Imperfect Capitalists—Republicans.
I want to help the Republicans become better Capitalists.
Since Capitalists are the profit-seekers and production achievers we have to acknowledge this fact and say, hoorah, hooray, keep it up.
If we are employees working for wages, we have to be pro-Capitalists because they are the profit-seekers (kws: rebuttal) who are the cause of our wages. (If you doubt this, watch the PBS special from a while back about James J. Hill—Minnesota Railway Magnate ‘exceptionale. If after watching this, you think the workers are the cause of their wages then ... then ... I do not know what to say to you that would be kind. My mother always said, if you can’t say anything n....).
If we ourselves are entrepreneurial industrialist profit-seekers we have to be pro-Capitalists because Capitalism is the only known moral political-economic system in the known Universe—including Earth. (As laid out for us by Ayn Rand and her philosophy of Objectivism.)
Perfect Capitalists prefer the moral to the immoral.
We peons—my inner he said endearingly, meaning “in the wage earner sense”—can't rest on our laurels and think others are going to take care of our rights--our Individual rights to life, liberty, property and the pursuit of happiness.
That is, for every true capitalist there is a faux capitalist and just recently–over the past half century or so–many of the faux types turned tail and became Democrats and Democrat sympathizers because they discovered that the root-source of their wealth depended on duping the dupable. And once the dupers discovered this and had to face the fact such is unsustainable, they had no choice but to continue in their ways--or lose their fortunes.
You can argue that they too along with their peon workers fell prey to the Perfect Collectivist ways, but adult human beings are self-responsible by nature and CINO Capitalists don’t get a free pass here. That is, if the shoe fits, don’t wear it.
For those who want to criticize present day Trumpian ACTIONS as being wrong by using the Ayn Rand argument from the 1960’s--as posted online a month or so back--that changing from the imperfect to the perfect should be done slowly—like the setting sun goes through a twilight phase--rather than rapidly—like a karate chop--are failing to correct for context—today's to be precise.
Some 60 years ago, that is, the Ayn Rand recommendation as highlighted above and in the context of then up to today’s now did not work.
If I am wrong and the context today is the same as it was in AR’s recommendation from the 1960’s, then that’s a double whammy: 0.00 changes have been made in 60 years towards a more perfect Capitalism.
That is, her recommended method did not work—that is, it has proven to be not practical.
Since the moral and the practical are the same thing—per Ayn Rand’s Objectivism and with which I agree--then if something isn’t practical then it isn’t moral (the contrapositive).
Does that mean that those who advocate a 60+ year-old method that has proven to be impractical are immoral?
How long are you going to keep your head in the sand about this fact?
Since the sunset changes did not happen, we are now where we are at—it's not 1960 anymore.
That is, the ‘60’s decade left the planet over a half century ago, but it didn’t take the hippies with it—the hippies’ leaders that is—the leaders not the drugged-out followers--used the last 60 years to perfect their Collectivist ways.
I tried to warn you against the Harvard type smartest of the smart hippie leaders, here but no one wanted to hear it.
Or here for a simpler excerpt from within that big picture—Chapter 19.
My vindication is that t.h.e.y are now succeeding at convincing way too many people—my guess is, over half of the lcd’ers and over a fourth of the hcd’ers--that the false idea that Brain is Mind is actually a true idea.
It is not. (Brain is a tool of mind—explore link.)
See your day-in-and-day-out online lcd click-bait for the messaging.
Remember, Collectivist’s don’t give a isht what us Capitalists think or feel or forever “blather” on about, t.h.e.y are out to destroy Capitalism, and they are (were) winning.
They are not out to save democracy. That’s just more of their perfect, sneaky Collectivist bullisht. They are all about killing Capitalism—they could give a isht less about Democracy.
Counter ACTION is required, no more just talking while the Collectivists continue their winning ways—just because they have been knocked down for the moment, doesn’t mean they can’t rise again.
They clearly can. (As an aside, if they do so rise to the same level or higher than that from which they were knocked down from, then the dire predictions for our future from the Objectivist’s Dr. Peikoff (see DIM) will become less of a prediction and more of a necessity. A necessity by default if ... a more perfect Capitalism is the goal.)
We Trumpians are it. If you have better action plans and choices to save Capitalism--with the goal of making it ever more perfect--then start advocating them, start being for it in action.
Like I have done, am doing—see my proposed Constitutional Amendment additions and tax solutions and anything else that has action as its theme—more action less talk.
The Perfect Collectivists are too smart for the Imperfect Capitalists.
That’s the way it is.
Voila!
Either give it up or DO something.
Conservative Republicans sat on their asses for the last 60 years and let the Progressives highjack the Constitution and take over the Government—not completely, but enough now that we are on the precipice of losing it all.
Talk about Principles, the Perfect Capitalist Principle--one of them--is: Everything—save one—should be privately owned by individuals.
Everything.
Movement in ACTION towards this goal is what is required. For now, the only ones trying is “US” Trumpians.
Another premise that you might consider for an explanation as to what is going on in our American culture right now is:
We are trying to transition from an Altruism worshipping culture to a Selfish’ism worshipping culture.
And, as one would expect, it is not going smoothly.
A corollary explanatory premise to consider is: The Altruism vs Selfish’ism battle is a DIVORCE looking for a new beginning, not a breakup looking for reconciliation and/or simply going each’s own separate way.
For a Country—contra Divorce premise—there is only a binary way: towards more freedom OR towards totalitarianism.
It’s a DIVORCE looking for a reset: Capitalism and Altruism are incompatible and cannot coexist.
The Perfect Collectivists are—have been--too smart for the Imperfect Capitalists.
Another premise or simply a fact?
The latter.
For example—considering only the lcd parts of our culture—including those who are various mixtures of the lcd and hcd parts--knows that AI is just another term for Volkswriter 500--that is, the most advanced WORD processor since Volkswriter (my first word processor) started it all some 5 decades back in the 1980’s. (Near the beginning of the Information Age.)
No one to my knowledge—other than me—has pointed out the defining ESSENTIAL difference between AI—Artificial Intelligence--and HI—Human Intelligence:
HI is not a word processor, we is a CONCEPT processor.
We Humans process concepts.
AI’s process words.
A properly defined and named CONCEPT—a concept given “a name” called “a word”—can be processed by a computer as if it were a true concept: a construction BRICK to be used to build a solid epistemological structure. A structure (a psychoepistemology) that can withstand an onslaught from the big bad wolves of the world—primarily the Perfect Collectivists--huffing and puffing (oblique pun not not intended) at us as they strive to steal our surplus.
Stealing everyone’s surplus is the Perfect Collectivist’s primary goal. (I thought killing Capitalism was it. That’s its ultimate goal—that's what t.h.e.y are going to use your surplus to do.)
Too say that they are/were ‘eating our shorts is—besides bad cliché--understatement par excellence.
“We”--that is, you—can let them continue on their merry way by using new tools--AI but one example of--to so do, but you don’t have to. You can think—even if you were indoctrinated in the Public School System—if you choose to.
For example, the computer—AI—has no clue whatsoever as to what it is doing.
Consider.
Gary: What is a brick made of?
Copilot:
A brick is typically made of clay, which is molded and then fired in a kiln at high temperatures to create a hard, durable material. Some bricks are made from concrete, which consists of cement, sand, and water, mixed and then molded into shape and cured. Additionally, bricks can be made from other materials such as calcium silicate, which involves a mixture of sand and lime, or even recycled materials offering eco-friendly alternatives.
Gary: Why do you insist on proselytizing, to wit, “offering eco-friendly alternatives”?
Copilot:
Eco-friendly alternatives offer significant benefits to both the environment and to society as a whole. By advocating for these sustainable practices, we aim to reduce our carbon footprint, conserve natural resources, and create a healthier planet for future generations. Promoting eco-friendly alternatives is not merely a trend but a necessary step towards addressing the pressing issues of climate change and environmental degradation. It is a call to action for us to rethink our consumption habits and make more conscious choices that align with the well-being of our planet.
Gary:
Jfk ... omg ... wtf ... that is, jesus fucking ka-rist, oh my god, what the fuck ... you have got to be kidding me ... this is the bullshit AI is indoctrinating you and your children with?
Every piece of “information-data” (word) in the ‘Eco-friendly alternatives offered ...’ outputted paragraph from Copilot—qua just another AI software program—originally came from the minds of Perfect Collectivists.
Yikes! (That’s right, t.h.e.y have turned their educated elitist drivel into the “data base” from which they are going to extract “words” to indoctrinate you and yours.)
Rather that is, if you don’t discover the difference between concepts and words you and yours will end up getting what you deserve.
Getting such is a hard kind of justice, but it is justice just the same.
Consider one simple example from the AI Copilot outputted paragraph:
... benefits to both the environment and to society as a whole ...
Benefits—as a proper concept--accrue to living entities—specifically you and me, that is, specifically to individuals—not to inanimate matter such as rocks and dirt making up the environment. (This is a bhdt—been here done that—for me but it still needs emphasizing.)
Here AI is using “benefit” as a word without precise meaning—which is the way AI uses all words.
To elaborate.
Everybody can relate to a computer being able to do math:
A + B = C
If A = 3 and B = 9 then:
3 + 9 = 12
That is, C = 12.
The so-called AI computer treats words the same way:
$A + $B = $C
With the dollar sign ($) used so that the computer can “tell” the difference between numbers and text:
A, without the dollar sign is a number, with is text, be it a word or a letter or anything that is not number.
And also, the computer then “knows” that adding text is like adding numbers but not exactly.
Adding text means concatenating (look it up):
$A + $B = $C.
If $A = “benefits” and $B = “to both the environment and to society as a whole” so that:
$A + $B is,
“benefits” + “to both the environment and to society as a whole”
That is, $C = benefits to both the environment and to society as a whole
Then the outputted AI Copilot paragraph is nothing but a whole bunch of $Letters strung together to give the impression of thinking. (Where the $Strings came from and how they are selected is too complex a topic for this go around—as I understand it more, I’ll add more to this in f.u.t.u.r.e).
We HI types could let this go, but initially we should not do this.
We should challenge until we feel we know enough about our HI human language and how humans use same (English in my case, some other perhaps in your case) to get the facts we need from AI output, not an evaluation of the facts.
Consider:
Gary: Why do you insist on proselytizing—especially when I did not ask for your fucking “opinion”—to wit, “offering eco-friendly alternatives”?
Gary:
Gary:
Stop, this is too boring ... move it along.
wait ...
Gary: Who makes bricks out of clay and straw?
Copilot output:
Bricks made of clay and straw are traditionally associated with ancient civilizations, most notably the Ancient Egyptians. They used a mixture of clay and straw to create sun-dried bricks for constructing buildings, including their homes and even some of the structures within their monumental projects. This method of brickmaking was also common in other ancient cultures, such as Mesopotamia.
(I do not see any evaluations going on here.)
Actually, the clay and straw “brick” was the answer I was thinking about when I wrote the first query. (That is, it came from this gNFI of mine: xyz = some image from some movie where the King told the slaves to “make bricks without straw” and the slaves told the King to kiss their ... no, they told him to “build a city without bricks”. As it turns out I had to research this to find out it was from The Ten Commandments movie. Though now when I looked it up I might have to create a new thing for myself: gNFA for gary’s Non Fungible Audio because the “bricks without straw scene” followed by the “city without bricks” one was in my mind as one scene-image of slaves on strike in front of some desert building project half built.)
That is.
A properly defined and named concept—a concept given a “name” called “a word”—can be processed by a computer as if it were a construction-brick to be used to build a solid epistemological structure within our psyche that can withstand an onslaught from the big bad wolfs of the world huffing and puffing (oblique pun not not intended) at us as they strive to steal our surplus.
But such “bricks” can only be so used if they are real bricks, made out of real straw and real clay, not faux bricks for your low self-esteem psycho-epistemological self to help you pretend that you have achieved authenticity: authentic self-esteem, not pseudo and authentic happiness, not faux.
It’s harsh I know, but jfk man, your mind is in play!
