0467 Today, the same type of mysterious persona as the moon man<\/em> speaks of winds moving across political and economic grids<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, I am talking about the Forum for Universal Contemporary Knowledge and Unified Practices.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

0468 Yes, I am talking about the “stakeholder”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The stakeholder<\/em> (SVi<\/sub>) stands for the Forum’s actualities [manifesting as] advisory decrees<\/em> (SOi<\/sub>) concerning future global challenges such as the constellation of the fourth industrial revolution <\/em>(SIi<\/sub>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0469 What is happening3a<\/sub>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fourth industrial revolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the ‘something’ that resides in the potential1a<\/sub> underlying the fourth industrial revolution3a<\/sub>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Future global challenges1a<\/sub>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0470 This is not the world that Ramaswamy grows up in.  And yet, it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fourth Battle of the Enlightenment Gods<\/em> begins soon after Vivek is born.  The Forum has already transformed the very identity that Ramaswamy thinks he has<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is that identity?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ramaswamy is an individual.<\/em>  And, individuals<\/em> tell their own stories<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

The individual2c<\/sub><\/em> (SVi<\/sub>) stands for the realness of what I think [manifesting as] what I say2a<\/sub><\/em> (SOi<\/sub>) in regard to the reader’s intellect3a<\/sub> operating on the reader’s sense of reality1a<\/sub><\/em> (SIi<\/sub>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0471 In chapter two, Ramaswamy tells how he became a capitalist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To an expert3b<\/sub>, capitalism2b<\/sub> is all about markets3H<\/sub>, value2H<\/sub> and price1H<\/sub>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To the individual that is Vivek, capitalism2b<\/sub> is about getting ahead2a<\/sub>.  Capitalism is about creativity, fashioning new products that people want (and occasionally, need), manufacturing products safely and without too much in terms of third party effects, working on a team, coming together as a community and lots of work!  Plenty of things to do.  So, one must prioritize one’s time and efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0472 Value for the capitalist<\/em> is more than products that produce profits<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The corporation<\/em> has a mission<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0473 I believe the Forum3aC<\/sub><\/em> warned about this type of nonsense<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The “capitalism” of “stakeholder capitalism” is not the same as the “capitalism” that arises from individuals pursuing their self-interest.  Success2c<\/sub> is not the same as “getting ahead2a<\/sub>“.  Success2c<\/sub> is finding a path towards all stakeholders getting ahead, especially the experts3b<\/sub> who represent the… um… people who are not willing to say what they think<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The experts3b<\/sub> represent the people who are not willing to say what they think<\/em>, because if they thought what the experts would have them think,<\/em> then they could easily say what needed to be recorded as phenomena2a<\/sub> for the observations and measurments1b<\/sub> required for expert psychometric formulations2b<\/sub><\/em>.  Psychometric models of value2b<\/sub> sustain opportunities1c<\/sub>for the one of scientism3c<\/sub> to engage in empirio-normative judgments2c<\/sub>, which constitutes “success2c<\/sub>” by acting as a sign-vehicle (SVi<\/sub>) for an interventional sign-relation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

0474 Once again, here is a picture of the post-truth interscope for the enlightenment god that seeks to dominate by signaling to all stakeholders, as the stakeholder of stakeholders3aC<\/sub>,<\/em> “The Forum’s normative judgment2c<\/sub><\/em> (SVi<\/sub>) stands for what I must think2a<\/sub> [in order to have my thoughts objectified as] what I say2a<\/sub><\/em> (SOi<\/sub>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

0475 Individuals may regard this as lunacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, here is where the money is.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
