Super article. Concise and sad! I have also taught logic to students, and it’s transformational.

Never let your schooling interfere with your education – Winston Churchill
I reserve the right to be smarter today than I was yesterday. John F. Kennedy

Most of us don’t understand higher or even intermediate 3D thought. We often intuit that something significant is being said but realize we don’t quite get it. The adventurous ones jump in anyway to see what is triggered in oneself or what it may trigger in others. If one jumps in the pool and cannot swim, then they are presented with the challenge of staying alive by pushing their abilities to the limit. Conscientization will happen gradually, there are no shortcuts. Please allow me to use your thoughts as a springboard, that I may move to where my thoughts lead me next. It may be comforting to you that I immerse myself in your point, however, I am merely using your thoughts for my own purposes.

Forget about the greatest good, it means absolutely nothing if you can’t see and are denying what is.

Teach people to first see the hand in front of their faces.

The greater good is what has the masses giving away their power because it will always be ‘tomorrow’, and the “greatest good”, no matter who believes “it”, is a dead end because it is a judgment.

Do you think truth has anything to do with that?!!

Truth has to be in the moment, how could it not? 🙂

Another motive for commenting is to register that you are ‘here’. You could say: “I am here. I am thinking about it.” -or- “I am confounded. My thoughts not fully formed.” -or- “Eureka! Not sure what that implies just yet.”

Or you could effuse, as you describe.

If we were in the same room it would be different. Effusing is not so easily ignored. Different energies are at play.

I think we’ve adequately ‘described the problem.’ Ad nauseum, in fact.

That may partially account for the scattershot quality of comments:

Been there. Described that. Little effect. What difference does any of this make. Gush.

“You might be surprised at how many people use these three ‘methods of analysis.'”

After 20 years of observing people dump their ‘thoughts’ on the internet? not at all.
