Ecologically and Socially Friendly and Sustainable, Anarchic Civilisation
It seems that I’ve come to a point in this blog where I can either:

On the main page of this blog, you’ll see a few terms are now highlighted with an underline, and if you hover the cursor over then you’ll see a tooltip telling you that the term underlined has a wiki page ( which will open in a new tab if you click it ).
You can also go directly to this site using the subdomain URL: wiki.open-empire.org
I haven’t crested many entries yet, but I’m going to start defining some simple lay-person’s understandings of the concepts used across the website. Continue reading “Update: April 10th 2017 – wiki.open-empire.org started”
If you want to see delusion in action, you don’t have to go any further than your nearest social media platform.

A very handy piece of wisdom I have gone by for years is “the exception paradox”, which states:
” … if for every rule there is at least one exception, then the exception to this one being that it has no exception … “

Apologies if anyone tried to read the first link ( I hit post by accident ), this is now the real thing *ahem* … so without any further ado, let’s get cracking.
In my life experience the greatest cause of arguments I have seen ( by far ) is misunderstanding, and it seems apparent to me that the most common cause of this, is the lazy and incorrect use of language. For which reason I’ve started to put some definitions of terms into the wiki.open-empire.org subdomain ( though so far this is only a handful of terms relating to economics ) … but I wanted today to share with you my thoughts on language, the failure of online dictionaries, and people’s common misuse, misunderstanding, and lack of concern about how they use language.

It just occurred to me to think about all the brainwashing I’ve been exposed to in my life, and to write it down in as close to chronological order as I can recall. Continue reading “Brainwashing: a short-list of my own experiences”

It’s astounding, but people today – despite everything they’ve seen – are still brainwashed by this idea, many of them even think they’re against it, state their opposition to it, then immediately afterwards demonstrate their support of it without realising they’ve done so … and that’s a pretty scary level of brainwashing.
