0854 Maybe, an example will help.

Here is the STI noumenal overlay for the lively incident where a sociologist yells at me in an academic setting about how the noumena of socialists are pure gold and the noumena from phenomenologists are pure crap.”

Oh, I meant to say, “sociologists”.

0855  Now, for those who do not want to scroll back, a sociologist interrupts my line of thought with the following shout out, “”Hey, you have that wrong!  Phenomenologists pull what the noumenon must be out of their asses.  Modern social scientists allow data and models to speak for themselves.”

The key word is “themselves”.

0856 Razie Mah’s blogs for July through October 2024 examines books covering the post-truth condition.  These are gathered in a three-part publication, titled Original Sin and The Post-Truth Condition, available at smashwords and other e-book venues.

The word, “themselves”, does not refer to observations and models, per se.  Technically, these are spoken.  They do not speak.  But, those who conduct observations and formulate models do speak.  So, “themselves” means “experts”.

0857 Yes, experts₃ are semiotic agents₃.  Obviously, one of their ‘final causes’₁ involves ‘protecting academic turf’₁.  The normal context of expert₃ brings the actuality of expertise (semiotic agency)₂ into relation with the potential of ‘defending established academic real-estate’₁.

0858 Somehow, in my rambling discourse, I claim that observations, in the modern social sciences, tend to be… shall I say?… biased by the model that occupies the site of the noumenon. 

To the napping sociologist, that claim_2a (SV_s) stands for information in the social sciences_2b (SO_s) in regards to modern social science methods_3b operating on the acquisition of data_1b (SI_s).

0859 How is that information_2b (SV_e) salient (SI_e)?

Social science information_2b (SV_e) stands for what the social thing itself must be (SO_e) in regards to the assessments_1cof this long-standing empirio-schematic tradition_3c (SI_e).

0860 Now, the assertion of what the social noumenon must be_2c (SO_e) is contiguous with the real event that causes me to pause my rambling lecture_2c (SV_i).  SV_i is a real event.  It_2c is an intervention (SV_i) that stands for an expression of intention_2a (SO_i) in regards to the normal context of this academic presentation_3a elevating the possibility that phenomenology may lay claim to the academic turf of modern social scientists_1a (SI_i).

0861 What is sort of creepy about this loop is that the professor’s shout out (SV_i) frames my original statement (SV_s) as something of an accusation.  It is as if I was saying, “Modern social scientists select their phenomena (and then conjure the corresponding noumenon).”

Isn’t that uncanny?

0862 Nonetheless, the moral of this incident offers me some labels for a few sign-elements that may come in handy later.
