IS THERE A BELIEF, ABILITY OR SUPPLY BASED LIMIT TO IMPERIALISTIC INTERVENTION?

 

HISTORY REPEATS ONLY FOR INTERSTELLAR CIVILIZATIONS, MAYBE

Yet, humans repeat this and other ridiculously simplistic words to cover up new politics, policies, buried murder victims, axes arrow heads, stele, utensils, flood escape boats, impossibility of hanging gardens and dreams. 

Similarly intervention in the politics, economy and social structure and defensive capabilities of other nations, by more powerful ones have meanings, actions and symbols no different than the above but with no repetition.

In addition to the positive consequences of American interventionism for America like support of American defense industry and defense/security jobs for difficult to employ less qualified citizens, frequent and expected resuts for the intervened are:

• A certain increase in technology transfer, training
• Some transfer of capital to certain sectors which may not directly benefit the development plans of that country.
• the formation and growth of a new sector of business and group of people who supply the Americans with everything from mates to pharmaceuticals, food, confidential information and rumors,
• low moral and morality
• confusion between local cultural values and American values, from politics, religion to ethics,
• establishment of new businesses, commercial activities
• More importance of a servile attitude due to new set of rewards and punishments and new judicial systemic changes.
• Possible disruption of global economic, educational, commercial, political relationships.

And political belief and analysis becomes atwirl like the compass like eyes of the Greek gaoler Cerberus, reincarnated on Netflix.

How Philosophy Came to Being

CHAPTER 1 Introduction

Before we tackle this simple subject let me remind you that you should definitely ignore the rumors and the false testimony that philosophy has always existed even by mortals of limited life and intelligence span.

A large number of believers in supreme beings of variable powers over humanity, other creatures, world affairs, solar system affairs and everything visible by telescopes of the most magnificent magnification, and their spokesmen, and their assigned servants are quick to declare that philosophy was created at the same time as everything else was created. This belief does not negate the belief that a supreme being can create another supreme being as his progeny and in his image. That is how it is written with indelible fruit and vegetable pigments and snake venom on timeless, unperishable media parched by the dust of meteors, which were later reproduced subliminally in the dreams and thoughts of wise men who prepared themselves for this  mediatic information transfer by using copious amounts of myrrh and a little frankincence to overome any possible myrrhadiction.

All the different parched ments and the divergent but still factual facts passed through clean and sane wise men confused all those who followed them and wished to believe in their versions of the pigments which had mostly faded by the time a few millenia had passed, so that the wise and the unwise could only perceive two colours, white and black.  

The result was a great deal of argument and strong language, fisticuffs, show of and other use of organs, until one or more supreme beings interfered to calm down the kerfufle with the creation of ethics and morality, and realizing that the ignorant masses follow the wise in perceiving only white and black, they planted a strong message in the minds of all their followers that white represented good and black was just another adjective for bad. There followed new adjectives and adverbs, even nouns like evil and phrases like 'goodness me' and 'a curse on you' or it is a sin to fornicate, to further confuse humanity.

The all powerful and all knowing and all everything gods, having managed to bring humanity to this situation, felt that it was time to create PHILOSOPHY so that the thinkers who could observe more colours could think and argue separately from the hoi polloi whose color sense and artistic perception were weakened by too much exposure to only white and black.

Compass of  Feelings

Directionless 

despite the twitching  arm

and a restless leg

knee joint oscillating 

with osteoporosis 

leaving the tendons to my care

and pity posing as 

compassion

for the self

and other creatures

exoskeletal

all in series geometrical

marching along a mortal path

in a life crepuscular 

or lifetimes illogical

denied by self

and by other selves

of myriads

believing themselves

but few other selves

after shedding

the hard part

soft care left alone

to survive 

at the bottom of a wave

or a continuum

without time.

WHO IS WHO AND WHAT IS WHAT

    

EPISTEMOLOGICAL TIDBITS

 A philosopher tries to put a small number of major issues in context and passively solve them in his mind. He is passionate only in his mind which is very difficult to appease. The difficulty of defining issues of human life and thought which have been dominating human mind and life and understand all their earlier delineations while attempting to find original solutions is a never ending process for the philosopher.

 An intelletual has a wider range of thought and issues and believes he can and has solved them as fas as they impinge on his life and thought. He does not feel the need to broadcast his views and prove or defend his conclusions. This whole process is not motivated by profit or desire for power and dominance, therefore he can be easily satisfied with what he knows and has done.

A politician is driven by a desire to acquire and hold power, dominance and recognition by any means he finds acceptable to his ethics and abilities. His understanding of life and humans is purely pragmatic, involvings means of manipulation which may not be truely altruistic or based on facts and knowledge.

                     the words 

                      for others to hear

                    which no other hears

                       the answer at the tip of.......

                  time and time again

                          and laughter

                     to recall

                         but not refresh

                     endure

                     patiently

                      till

                     the thresh holds

THE GIRL ACROSS THE STREET

THE WOMAN IN MY KITCHEN

if she were

an exotic recipe

fusion 

and eclectic

a meteorological occlusion

or a passage geometric 

would i wish to change her?

could i dare to challenge her?

Or

would it be enough

of a feat

to keep her

just keep her 

in a steady state
