Marlene on isms

In summary - trying to take into account the many points made yesterday and today - despite my mind being boggled - some of my thoughts in response:

A/C - Acronym Challenge - apologies to Max Planck et al:

Self-Organization + Self-Organization = SO and SO
Self-Synchronization + Self-Synchronization = SS and SS
Storm-trooper + OODA-Loop + Self = SOS

MC squared - Mathematical Challenge:

7 billion + 0 = 7 billion
7 billion x 0 = 0

Mental List:

Gentle not sentimental
Measured not detrimental
Inclusive not regimental
Judicious not judgmental
Temperate not temperamental
Planned not experimental
Phased and incremental
Wholesomely environmental
Holistically developmental
Basically fundamental
Proactively instrumental

Ism Exercises:

Ism as organ and living
Ism as char and giving
Ism as ideal and magic
Ism as fatal and tragic
Ism as real and true
Ism as crony and skew
Ism to believe
Ism to relieve
Ism to grieve
Inherently dynastic
Doggedly bombastic
Exercised and gymnastic
Adherently dog mastic


What a palaver:

Pussycat clause and puppy dog tales
Cabbage patch dolls and curly tails
Miss Piggy, Kermit and Oscar too
Pussies and puppies and a kangaroo
Poker and tennis - chess and buckaroo
Apple juice, hops and plenty to do
Barrels of cider and scrumptious too
Leaders and followers all bally hoo
Meet you in Palaver for a jar or two?


Pepper Mint or Spear Mint:

Private Banks + Print money = Quantitative Easing [Queasy]
Private Individuals + Print Money = Counterfeit [Cease]

Behemoth Crepuscular:

Corporations must not be taxed to stop them all from going
Bankers must print more notes to keep the economy growing
Fractional Reserve Banking flowing freely in and out
Is our gold that of fools and how did our debt come about?
What are these wild cards playing at? Are we just gullible rookies?
Twilight watchers trailing us - by camera and by cookies
Have the matadors let the bull markets emerge up to the very top?
Is duality bipartisan and can mutuality arising make them stop?
Are our assets already stripped and are our collars firmly felt?
Are our cards already marked and are they being still misdealt?
If there has been a sleight of hand - oh whatever can we do?
The game is on – is it time to play? I’m up for it - are you?

Richard mentioned energy maneuverability - defense in depth - John Boyd Theory - all of which sounds like wallowing in one version of the past whilst wading in treacle - guess that’s just me then…

For what it is worth: We live in extraordinary times - the now - with all it has to offer - now - the present - today - and, yes, of course, we must learn from past events and past outcomes - ever mindful - IMO - that history, like truth, is in the eye of the beholders - so perhaps - maybe - we should not let it define our future…

I’m with Maya Angelou on this one: “History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again.”

And the last words go to de Tocqueville: “We succeed in enterprises which demand the positive qualities we possess, but we excel in those which can also make use of our defects”.
