Happy Fourth of July! Click if you want to think on theme for a minute.

@MailOnline “The Iliad” was about the war but never mentions the Trojan Horse. “The Odyssey” was about Odysseus’ journey home and briefly mentions the ‘wooden horse’ scene. It is also mentioned (as well as throughly detailed) within “The Aeneid”.

What started the Trojan War, who took part and how did it end?

If you believe in the knowledge presented to you by an authority then all you have is opinion. But if you have the means to test that knowledge, you can take that information and form your own knowledge within that specific field. That’s how you transcend the folly of opinion.

@geoffreyo Probably rather more akin to dialectic where truth can be attained only by truth as an intent. That would make humans the variable instead of a god I guess… further investigation is needed.

@geoffreyo “Can intent coexist with objective fact?” As seen as a ‘contradiction’ spirals out into an idea that seems to prove some sort of God exists… No? Where contradiction has intentionality…? Spooky stuff!

When a specific domain undergoes any kind of contradiction, at what point do the objective facts become the presupposition of truth within the investigation of that contradiction?

@geoffreyo I think it has to do with with a type of relevance. Like a bucket to throw the objective facts into after a type of election process. That election process is the big question - what rules or logic produces the desired result? Rhetoric doesn’t do this. Dialectic does. But how?

@geoffreyo Now here’s where things get a bit fringe… dialectic, which is purely humble aim for truth, seems to produce the authentic article when honestly practiced between two ‘representatives’ of opposing opinion. Whereas rhetoric is a domination game between the ‘imitators’ of opinion.

@geoffreyo In fact, not only do I agree but I love the perspective on conflict as an active entity. Way easier to understand and observe that way as opposed to perceiving it purely as a situation.

@geoffreyo I totally agree, the contradiction will protect itself by actively avoiding truth. However, isolating the cause and effect will have an uncanny way of filtering objective facts into this type of presupposition. Next problem: Multiplicity of causes for any given effect…

Axioms need to be devised with a built-in mechanism to assure the proper updates will be integrated when and if they are discovered. The mechanism itself is a dogmatic structure aimed to dismantle all other forms of dogmatism.

@geoffreyo n=5 Plug it in and you get the golden ratio. But when you design a set or parcel the frame - just use 309/500.

@MatthewJOLeary Interesting notion… but ya lost me. You probably just out-mathed me. I mean, you *definitely* out-mathed me.

309 over 500 is a fine approximation for the practical application(s) of beauty. It’s should be considered best when working with real world factors and ignored when dealing with abstract maths. (Ignore in school - apply in construction). In school apply the equation (1+√n)/2=Φ.

I am taken with the Baconian theory of Shakespeare’s authorship. Although it does seem like a group effort at the very least. Cryptography is cool.

I always thought privacy should be a CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT. It’s odd that it’s not. A slave has the CAPACITY to choose but no RIGHT to do so. Why enslave the women of America? RBG wrote a commentary on RvW, that everyone should read, outlining how privacy avoids the issue ENTIRELY

Perception of events have to be mediated by the effects of those events. To say the event itself is the cause of the effect is a purposely misleading enthymeme, and should leads us to find the truth somewhere within the syllogism that the enthymeme actively avoided.

Subjective judgements have to represent a gripping associative element that‘s recognized by others in order to express its judgement as a truthful statement. Your truth needs to undergo an election process if it’s going to be applicable to others within a social lifestyle.

Winning is a symptom of utilizing potential, so too is success. But more importantly success is a symptom of LOSING. #THINK

We are all in a state of opinion until we commit to an investigation. Within the need for investigation, I suspect, we may find the cultural olive branch, and from it the wood to build that coveted bridge…
