0437 Does the managerial class know what it’s doing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wonder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0438 The above interscope<\/em> may explain why the managerial class rises in the first place<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It starts with education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0439 The relativist one3c<\/sub> is above all jurisdictions.  For education, that means all academic disciplines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From what I already know, the perspective level of the post-truth interscope<\/em> somehow fuses with the content-level of the society tier<\/em>.  This means that when someone <\/em>enters an approved educational institution3b<\/sub> <\/em>and earns a credential2b<\/sub>documenting their mastery of formalized knowledge1b<\/sub>,<\/em> then some institution3aC<\/sub> within the umbrella of sovereign power3bC<\/sub><\/em> has provided an opportunity1c<\/sub><\/em> (which coincides with righteousness1aC<\/sub><\/em>) for success2c<\/sub><\/em> (which corresponds to an organizational objective2aC<\/sub>,<\/em> beholden to capitalist and to socialist values2b<\/sub>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0440 But, that is not enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The relativist one3c<\/sub> needs all academic disciplines to have something in common.  This is where the style of science comes in.  If the relevant academic disciplines have a common, scientific style, then the relativist one3c<\/sub><\/em> can relabel as the one of scientism3c<\/sub><\/em>.  This allows psychometric academic disciplines<\/em> to proliferate under the umbrella of the scientismist one3c<\/sub><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notably, academic fields<\/em> such as humanism, the arts, theology, philosophy, rhetoric, history and so on, who have difficulties adopting an empirio-schematic denkstyle,<\/em> have not flourished<\/em> for the past fifty years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0441 Overall, state education (1) offers organizational objectives2aC<\/sub> that demand sovereign power2bC<\/sub> in order to be implemented and (2) presents all psychometric sciences as officially “not religious”, because metaphysics is not allowed in the discourse of each discipline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Education<\/em> is key to the rise of the managerial class<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0442 So what <\/em>really buried the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it the fact that, for the capitalist USA, success2a<\/sub> for the scrappy player (getting ahead) correlates to success2c<\/sub> for the relativist one (an actionable judgment)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0443 Once the USSR falls, an affirmative answer<\/em> unravels as two opposing regimes of expertise<\/em> begin to intermingle and the relativist one3c<\/sub><\/em> gives way to the scientismist one3c<\/sub><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a picture of education and the psychometric sciences<\/em> that meld more and more objectively after the fall of the Berlin Wall, <\/em>along with a picture of the increasingly crappy player level<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

0444 Universities become multiversities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specialization abounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example, the discipline of Anthropology differentiates into physical, archaeological, social, and cultural sub-disciplines.  Each publishes its own journals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each is its own “science”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0445 And, speaking of science, the psychometric sciences<\/em> look at people as generators of social phenomena<\/em>.  Only a selection of what people are willing to say2a<\/sub><\/em> registers as phenomena2a<\/sub> that can be observed and measured1b<\/sub><\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0446 Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does one observe and measure metaphysical beings<\/em> and statements about metaphysical beings?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

0447 Well, its a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only those statements1b<\/sub> useful for modeling2b<\/sub><\/em> register, because the empirio-schematic judgment<\/em> corresponds to what ought to be,<\/em> in the Positivist’s judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, the positivist intellect is the relation<\/em> in the Positivist’s judgment and the positivist intellect has a rule saying, “No metaphysics.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is a picture of the Positivist’s judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

0448 Okay, what is<\/em> for the Positivist’s judgment is a dyad.  A noumenon [cannot be objectified as] its phenomena.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does that look like the structure of the actuality2a<\/sub><\/em> on the scrappy player level?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coincidence?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0449 Of course, Ramaswamy does not formulate the rise of the managerial class<\/em> as a process where humans are turned into things that are subject matter for the psychometric sciences<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, he proposes a policy option that would please someone like Betsy Devos, <\/em>whose book is examined in Razie Mah’s blog for June 1 through 9, 2022.  The title of the blog is Looking at Betsy Devos’s Book (2022) “Hostages No More”<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is how I diagram the content and situation levels<\/em> of this sensible option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Otherwise, admit it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No student is going to get a good grade if he don’t tell the teacher what the teacher wants him to say<\/em> as if that is what he be thinking<\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
