With all this talk of mind-viruses, let’s explore this concept. A virus is a “non-living”, self-replicating biological entity that hijacks the machinery of a host organism to reproduce, often at the host’s expense.
Extending this to the mind, I want to use Dawkins’ coined concept of the Meme…

Interesting. Inter/intra,(“between”) comes derives from hen,(“in”). The opposite of in is out, which is where ex(tra),(“out(side)”) derives.
The word eclectic,(“selective”) breaks down into ek,(“out”) + lego/legere. Never thought the meaning of eclectic was specifically referred to words.

Intelligence = from Latin intelligere,(“reason, understanding”), from inter,(“between”) + legere,(“to speak, to choose/collect one’s words”) = An Inter-language. Inter-logic. Inter-lect.
Thus, AI circles around something like Constructed Inter-Language. Mathematics. Self-referential. Autological.

A pyramid is a type of hill, yes. That certainly looks like a benben floating abstractly above the rest of the pyramid. How exceptional.
On a completely unrelated note, of course, the word bourgeoisie is french for burgher (ie. merchant/professional class). It means mountain, related to “iceBERG”.

Calendar reform: introducing the Holocene Calendar improve societal cognition.
It removes the BC/AD divide by pushing our chronological timeline back 10,000 years. This reduces cognitive load by removing the calculation, while giving us a wider and interrelated perspective of the human story.

The compound of a hexahedron (aka. cube) and an octahedron is a cuboctohedron. The dual of this compound is the rhombic dodecahedron.

- octahedron to 16-cell
- cuboctahedron/rhombic dodecahedron to 24-cell

An ideology, principle, or condition built around the Self will produce the opposite effect of one built around the Other. I have also noticed that those with autism are often detached from time, chronological sequences and relativity.

Consensus is a higher order construction. By necessity, it emerges from a higher order set, or aggregate, than the individual can’t reach. It is a shared conceptual vehicle that, while non-sensory, is always relative to social relations with the Other, and constitutes the Zen(ith) of the Natural.

The “est-ce que” construction in French translates directly to “is-it that” in English. Note the difference in question strength when you use this exact same construction in English.

Canada’s unions tend to be a bit neutered by the political system itself, but Spain’s National Confederation of Labour, or CNT, is a good template for building a more integrated syndicate of unions. Spain, in general, has a long history of syndicalism.

The etymology of Artificial Intelligence, or AI:
Artificial = from Latin artificium,(“artisanship, skill”), from artifax,(“artisan, crafter”) = ars,(“skill, art, craft”) + fex,(“Maker of”) = Crafted or Stylized Fact. A stylized fact is, strictly-speaking, the construction of a counter-factual.

The term “egregore” usually appears in occult and esoteric thought these days, and describes an independent group mind or spirit formed by collective intention.
I’d like to examine it more as a psychological and sociological phenomenon with tangible, real-world effects.

The belief in absolute free will is the psychological equivalent of believing in the privileged reference frame that Einstein’s Relativity says doesn’t exist.
Both arise from the same cognitive bias - the mind’s tendency to imagine itself outside and independent of the system that it is a part of.

A Theory of Mind (ToM) is the ability to conceptually understand and represent the thoughts, intentions, beliefs, and perspectives of others. It is built on mental models, experiential expectations, and “norms” about how conspecifics behave.
Anomie is the negation of social norms and relations.

For what it’s worth, the word Buddha, a title, comes from the Sanskrit root budh,(“to wake up, to be awakened”), similar to how a plant buds.
Thus, the Buddha was the man who woke up from the illusion of Maya,(“mind, magic, math”).
Buddhism translates directly into English as Wokism.

Are you suggesting that a genocide hasn’t occurred until judicial authorities decide it to be the case? You do recognize that scientific arguments (ie. de facto) outrank judicial (ie. de jure arguments), right?
To date, no evidence has been presented and examined in any court on the planet proving that Israel has perpetrated a genocide in Gaza. All we have so far is speculation and a wealth of counter claims.

Related to this is the judicial argument, or argumentum de jure.
If P is the factual argument (de facto), then Q is the counter-factual (de contra facto). The judicial argument lies between them (PQ), the seat of the arbiter, or the judge.

Judicial supremacy describes judicial authority. The state is the subset of the population with the monopoly over judicial violence, while the fasces was the Roman symbol of judicial authority. Thus, fascism is the ideology of judicial supremacy.

Buddhism just so happens to cut through through the Essentialism of Western thought (ie. Attan/Anattan). The word Buddha, a title, comes from the Sanskrit root budh, meaning to wake up or be awake. When translated directly into English, Buddhism literally means Wokism.
