0057 The Greimas square serves as relational structure<\/em> for an act of persuasion<\/em>.  The act of persuasion generates an apparent mind-independent being<\/em> (D) that speaks against the originating mind-independent being<\/em> (A).  In a way, I can say that a mind-dependent being regarded as mind-independent<\/em> (D) usurps attention away from the original mind-independent being<\/em> (A).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps, D ends up replacing A as mind-independent being<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh my.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0058 So far, I have considered several examples.  Two are of note.  One is the scripted corporate media response to a heinous crime where a gun is involved<\/em>.  Two follows the arc of Klaus Schwab’s titles<\/em> (K1-K5).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Figure 09<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

0059 In the first example, the second amendment<\/em> (a mind-dependent being regarded as a mind-independent being) (D) accounts for the gun that is responsible for the crime<\/em> (C) because the forbidden thing<\/em> (B) is present at the scene of a horrible crime<\/em> (A).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the second example, stakeholder capitalism<\/em> (a mind-dependent being that becomes mind-independent through a global sovereign) (D) comes out of the Great Reset<\/em> (C) that is an inevitable consequence of shaping the future <\/em>(B) in the face of the fourth industrial revolution<\/em> (and especially the crisis of covid-19)<\/em> (A).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0060 These two examples demonstrate the concept that certain acts of persuasion manifest as the updated scholastic Greimas squares.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is the Greimas square<\/em> an exercise in logic?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If not, then, what is it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I suspect that these acts of persuasion<\/em> are somehow intrinsic to the nature of speech-alone talk<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Words<\/em> are placeholders in systems of differences<\/em> and the Greimas square<\/em> is a formalized system of differences<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yeah, whatever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0061 On top of that, the updated scholastic Greimas square<\/em> revives a long-standing (and currently defunct) debate among medieval schoolmen about the distinction between ens reale<\/em> and ens rationis<\/em>.  Greimas’s formalism adds two more terms, which I label “illusion” and “delusion”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Figure 10<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

0062 What does this have to do with Alex Jones?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alex Jones disrupts.  He disrupts globalist acts of persuasion<\/em>.  He calls out illusions and delusions.  He is so good at it that the globalists must… well… hold him responsible for psychological damages of a real crime that he did not commit.  He must be silenced!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, he offends Klaus Schwab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, I don’t know whether any of this<\/em> is true.  I am just guessing.  I am not a lawyer.  I am not a confidant of anyone at the World Economic Forum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All I do is look at ongoing situations, as well as texts, and try associate what I see<\/em> into the empty slots of a purely relational structure<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0063 So, I look at Jones’s text for a disruption of the following relational structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Figure 11<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

0064 I find an interesting tidbit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right in chapter one, Jones says that Schwab’s literary and persuasion skills<\/em> lie at the heart of K1<\/em>.  Persuasion is important.  Schwab uses a three-pronged approach.  Jones labels Schwab’s template as “problem, reaction and solution”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does this fit into the updated scholastic Greimas square?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a peek at my guess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a>
Figure 12<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

0065 Is Jones on the verge of ideating this commentary?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Or, is Jones staking out targets?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

0066 In chapter two, Jones goes after the reaction (C).  In the Great Reset, the modern world reacts (C) as the mind-independent being of the fourth industrial revolution <\/em>(A) engenders a mind-dependent being, the plans of the World Economic Forum for shaping the future<\/em> (B).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jones asks (more or less), “What does that mean?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, in layman’s terms, the Great Reset<\/em> (C) implements systems of control<\/em> (B).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0067 Contributing to the layman’s disorientation, shaping the future<\/em> (B) entails novel nomenclature, such as “public-private partnership”, “distributing benefits”, “managing externalities” and “human-centered future”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Surely, these terms<\/em> code for policy actions<\/em> during the Great Reset<\/em> (C).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, how do we appreciate the nature these plans <\/em>(B) as <\/em>their implementation (C) unfolds as systems of control?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is illusion<\/em> (C) too strong of a term?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0068 According to the structure of the Greimas square, the Great Reset<\/em> (C) speaks against the World Economic Forum’s plans to shape the future<\/em> (B).  C contradicts B because C implements B.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does implementation (C) tell me when a plan (B) does not work?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Definitely, especially when C implements systems of control<\/em> (mind-independent beings) that are popularized as plans for shaping our future<\/em> (mind-dependent beings).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0069 Does C implements B <\/em>compare to a reaction<\/em> (C) that contradicts<\/em> a problem<\/em> (B)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem <\/em>(B) is a mind-dependent being<\/em>.  For Schwab, the problem of shaping the future<\/em> (B) contrasts with the fourth industrial revolution<\/em> (A) in the same way that a mind-dependent being<\/em> (B) contrasts with a corresponding mind-independent being<\/em> (A).  The problem<\/em> (B) entails the formulation of a plan <\/em>(B).  The plan is filled with jargon, such as “public-private partnership”, whose implementation creates mind-independent beings that are regarded as mind-dependent<\/em> (C).  These<\/em> apparently mind-dependent beings<\/em> (C), are, like all illusions, reactionary<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An illusion<\/em> (C) is a reaction (C) to a problem (B).<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
