Are PATHOGENS ‘REAL’? … or is COVID 19 a CRAZY-MAKER?
ARE WE READY TO “GET REAL”? Is COVID 19 a CRAZY-MAKER?
Where do we get this abstract concept of a PATHOGEN from?
The concept of a PATHOGEN is a binary LOCALIZING-IN-SPACE-AND-TIME concept of the same ilk as the intellectual abstraction that comes with “FIRE BURNS” (or “PATHOGENS KILL”). It is the sort of concept that is needed to ‘effable-ize’ the ineffable fluid relational reality that we and everything is included in (i.e. the Wave-field aka ‘the Tao’).
This LOCALIZING IN SPACE AND TIME IS EXPERIENCED AS EGO. EGO is the archetype for the PRODUCER-PRODUCT abstraction that we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS employ to articulate relational development. Just as “FIRE BURNS” imputes LOCAL SOURCING of actions and developments, so does the PRODUCER-PRODUCT abstraction. This construct is a DOUBLE ERROR, as Nietzsche points out (the FIRST ERROR is NAMING (e.g. FIRE) to impute LOCAL thing-in-itself BEING, and the SECOND ERROR, which conflates the first, is GRAMMAR (‘BURNS’) that imputes the power of SOURCING actions and developments to the NAMING-instantiated thing-in-itself, …. and it is this DOUBLE ERROR of language and grammar that puts into our intellectualizing minds, the notion of jumpstart LOCAL-IN-SPACE-AND-TIME SOURCING of actions and developments.
EGO builds from this DOUBLE ERROR, as does the PATHOGEN concept and its opposite; the ‘BENOGEN’.
But this language-and-grammar injection into the intellect of notional LOCAL-in-space-and-time SOURCING of actions and developments is THE TOOL THAT CRACKS THE INEFFABILITY BARRIER that we face in trying to articulate our sensory experience of inclusion in the NONLOCAL dynamic aka the Wave-field aka the Tao.
This reduction of the ineffable to something effable by way of the DOUBLE ERROR is where Emerson’s talk of ‘the tool runs away with the workman, the human (LOCAL) with the Divine (NONLOCAL)” comes from; i.e. being ONE WITH EVERYTHING (included in the NONLOCAL) as in being included in the Wave-field (the indigenous aboriginal GREAT MYSTERY) is what is being referred to as ‘the Divine’.
IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT “THE PATHOGEN” AND “EGO” COME FROM THE SAME DOUBLE ERROR LOCAL-IN-SPACE-AND-TIME SOURCING. By believing in one’s own (the NAMING-instantiated agent’s) DOUBLE ERROR powers of sourcing CONSTRUCTIVE actions and developments, we open the door to believing in one’s own (the NAMING instantiated agent’s) DOUBLE ERROR powers of sourcing DESTRUCTIVE actions and developments.
WE SHOULD NOT FORGET THAT THE DOUBLE ERROR IS STILL AN ERROR and DOUBLY SO!
WHAT WE ARE CREATING HERE IS THE BINARY OF ‘THE LOCAL HERO’ AND ‘THE LOCAL VILLAIN’ and these binary opposites give us intellectual-representational tools for conjuring up LOCAL-IN-SPACE-AND-TIME actions and developments which can be EITHER good OR bad. This DOUBLE ERROR based REDUCTION TO BINARY gives us a language-based (i.e. language-reduced) means of representation of ‘reality’ that we can use INSTEAD OF THE WAVE-FIELD that is constituted by relational harmony and dissonance, as in modern physics and as in the indigenous aboriginal ‘mitakuye oyasin’ (everything is related).
WHY “INSTEAD OF”?
BECAUSE THE WAVE-FIELD IS EVERYWHERE AT THE SAME TIME AKA “NONLOCAL” AND “INEFFABLE”.
Our sensory experience informs us NONLOCALLY of when the Wave-field we are included in ‘energizes’ (e.g. solar irradiance field). This is a NONLOCAL phenomenon and while our sensory experience is of INCLUSION within it, it is a fluid kind of inclusion like being in the hot-tub. Wave-fields are NONLOCAL.
NONLOCAL agency is INEFFABLE so our sensory experience of inclusion in the Wave-field is INEFFABLE.
In order to reduce the INEFFABLE to EFFABLE, we have to LOCALIZE the NONLOCAL.
‘SPACE’ and ‘TIME’ are abstract concepts that, together with language and grammar, give us the means so REDUCE the INEFFABLE to EFFABLE by REDUCING the NONLOCAL to LOCAL. This is where we employ language and grammar to furnish us with the abstractions of ‘SPACE’ and ‘TIME’ to manufacture LOCAL in SPACE and TIME reality representations. While ‘DUNING’ is a NONLOCAL resonance phenomenon, ‘the DUNE’ is LOCAL in SPACE and TIME and so are “ITS” MOVEMENTS and DEVELOPMENTS. Actually, ‘IT’ is not an “IT’ and thus doesn’t have “ITS” MOVEMENTS and DEVELOPMENT.
So, in order to reduce the INEFFABLE to EFFABLE, we employ language and grammar based concepts of SPACE and TIME to fabricate LOCAL representations such as DUNES .. “that grow higher and longer and shift to the ‘south’. The ‘south’ refers to the abstract (absolute) Euclidian reference frame. That is, we are using GEOMETRY in order to support the reduction from NONLOCAL to LOCAL. GEOMETRY sets up an idealized absolute pseudo-world that we can use as a reference-container for our GEOMETRY based representations of fluid reality.
As Kepler said; ‘Geometry is God, God is Geometry’, echoing (in a reductive manner) the phraseology of Kepler’s mentor, Proclus, who had said; ‘Nature is God, God is Nature’.
The thing about GEOMETRY is that it reduces NONLOCAL to LOCAL and thus the ineffable to the effable. The PRODUCER-PRODUCT abstraction is another ‘geometric device’ for reducing NONLOCAL to LOCAL (similar to FIRE BURNS).
WE WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are particularly strongly smitten with belief in the PRODUCER-PRODUCT dynamic (note the “FIRE BURNS” LOCAL SOURCING abstraction this brings to bear). We believe in the abstraction of GROWTH as when we speak of the GROWTH of our farming operation from 2 acres to 160 acres. We make no mention of the SHRINKAGE OF WILDERNESS (which, taken together implies the reality of TRANSFORMATION) because our concept of GROWTH is a FLATSPACE concept as underpins what we call our ‘reason’-based logical propositions.
MAKE NO MISTAKE, this reason-supporting logic; i.e. the EITHER/OR logic of the EXCLUDED medium differs radically from the ‘Quantum’ BOTH/AND logic of the INCLUDED medium. In the former, FIGURE AND GROUND ARE TWO, and in the latter, FIGURE AND GROUND ARE ONE.
The implication is that the GROWTH of cultivated land IS NOT REAL. It could only be GROWTH if there was such a thing as ground as a flat surface of infinite extent as in Euclidian space but that is pure abstraction and unlike the ground of our actual sensory experience wherein the GROWTH of cultivated land is, at the same time, the SHRINKAGE of Wilderness lands, or in other words, reality involves TRANSFORMATION and NOT GROWTH.
Those of us who (typically WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS) are investing in the GROWTH of cultivated or ‘improved’ land (perhaps blindly through the stock market) are pulling the rug of livable space out from under the feet of Wilderness creatures. In other words, the reality is curved space TRANSFORMATION and there is such thing in ‘reality’ as GROWTH. GROWTH is flatspace abstraction. Just because it is a popular concept that we have given a foundational role to in our business economy does not make it REAL.
It’s not only the ‘Wilderness animals’ that are feeling the crunch of living together with WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS for whom the flatspace tool of REASON has been ‘running away with the workman’, the human with the divine, … there’s a game like musical chairs going on wherein we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS are chasing after GROWTH while what is really going on is TRANSFORMATION and it is not only the Wilderness creatures that are getting squeezed out (i.e. we are squeezing ourselves out).
But the successful squeezer-outers who dominate as winners in the pursuit of GROWTH are producing a counter-class of ‘squeezed outs’ while WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS CELEBRATE the ‘success’ of the squeezer-outers and condemn the violent backlash from the ‘squeezed outs’ who, the presumption is, are inferior performers. After all, if we measure the success of a person in the abstract flatspace terms of the GROWTH of their owned and controlled property, we blind ourselves to the reality of TRANSFORMATION,
This BLINDING has a particularly strong history in the UNITED STATES; e.g as Adam Smith observed, producer-product achievement reflects on the basic quality of the human seen in the DOUBLE ERROR terms of a LOCAL producer of products;
” Every species of animals naturally multiplies in proportion to the means of their subsistence, and no species can ever multiply beyond it. But in civilized society it is only among the inferior ranks of people that the scantiness of subsistence can set limits to the further multiplication of the human species; and it can do so in no other way than by destroying a great part of the children which their fruitful marriages produce.” —Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations,
REALITY IS TRANSFORMATION, and humans and all relational forms are included in it. The abstract concept of REPRODUCTION is another FLATSPACE concept which is NOT REAL.
Since we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS have bought into the producer-product aka DOUBLE ERROR based conceptualizing of the ‘human’, it follows that we reward and recognize humans (and other NAMING-instantiated entities like ‘Nations’ and ‘Corporations’) for ‘their productive actions and developments’ as if they are the LOCAL SOURCE of such actions and developments. This is the beginning of ‘swelling EGOs’. The simple abstract symmetry of binary logic (aka ‘reason’) opens the door to the inverse; i.e. the LOCAL SOURCE of destructive actions and developments.
THOSE WHO MOST BELIEVE IN THE ‘REALITY’ OF PRODUCER-PRODUCT ACHIEVEMENTS are compelled, by logical consistency, to not only REWARD and RESPECT the producers of CONSTRUCTIVE actions and developments, but to PUNISH and DERIDE the producers of DESTRUCTIVE actions and developments.
Those cultures whose adherents are most convinced of the reality of producer-product GROWTH and who thus regale themselves with their swollen egos, ARE GOING TO HAVE TO, FOR THE SAKE OF LOGICAL CONSISTENCY, DERIDE THE PRODUCERS OF DESTRUCTIVE ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS. (NEITHER of these positive and negative binary scenarios of reward and punishment ARISE in EASTERN cultures or in modern physics-based reality where the BOTH/AND logic of the INCLUDED medium prevails, and where REALITY is understood as TRANSFORMATION wherein SUBJECT AND OBJECT ARE ONE, … rather than in terms of SUBJECT and OBJECT as TWO where the concept of GROWTH arises.
That is, where SUBJECT and OBJECT are TWO, the growing wheat-field is deemed independent of the Wilderness as it would be on a flat plane of infinite extent. As we can see, on the surface of a sphere, as is the more realistic view, the GROWTH of a field of wheat is impossible without, at the same time, reciprocal shrinkage of non-cropland, or in other words, the REAL dynamic is TRANSFORMATION.
Since GROWTH is NOT REAL in the real world of spherical space, and since GROWTH is inseparable from reciprocal SHRINKAGE so that TRANSFORMATION is what is actually transpiring,, GROWTH is not a valid basis for CELEBRATING high achievers of GROWTH and VILIFYING low achievers of GROWTH.
Yet we WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS do just that, encouraging this binary REWARDS and PUNISHMENT based shaping of the social dynamic, even though, IN REALITY, there is only TRANSFORMATION and the concept of GROWTH is a FLATSPACE ABSTRACTION. As a result, the reality of TRANSFORMATION will prevail as the focus is on the GROWTH of croplands and industrial areas, as Wilderness areas SHRINK. In other words, GROWTH is NOT REAL, it is a FLATSPACE ABSTRCTION. TRANSFORMATION is real. Just because GROWTH is effable while TRANSFORMATION is ineffable does not change the fact that the reality is TRANSFORMATION and NOT GROWTH.
This WESTERN CULTURE confusion that regards GROWTH as the surrogate substitute reality, that simply drops TRANSFORMATION out of the mental picture, is a CRAZY-MAKER.
This situation becomes even more dysfunctional as PRIDE swells according to one’s perceived producer-product GROWTH of POSITIVE (beneficial) actions and developments, and VILIFICATION deepens for those perceived ‘responsible’ for GROWTH of NEGATIVE (detrimental) producer-product actions and developments, the latter being labelled PATHOGENS.
BUT NEITHER “BENOGENS” NOR “PATHOGENS” ARE REAL because the PRODUCER-PRODUCT dynamic is not REAL. It is NOT REAL for the same reason FIRE BIRNS is NOT REAL. It is constructed so as to notionally reduce NONLOCAL (TRANSFORMATION) which is INEFFABLE to LOCAL DOUBLE ERROR dynamics (EFFABLE).
The EGO based commitment to, and celebration of GROWTH as something REAL is abstraction that enjoys more than average support in the United States. The unnatural and unjustified inequalities that derive from the social collective’s belief in GROWTH as REAL and arising from PRODUCER-PRODUCT DOUBLE ERROR dynamics (pure abstraction that obscures and substitutes or ‘wallpapers over’ TRANSFORMATION) fuels undeserved social inequalities.
Modern physics, indigenous aboriginals etc. intuitive rejection of the validity of the “FIRE BURNS” LOCAL PRODUCER-PRODUCT (basis for rewarding and punishing) is an undercurrent that is strongest where the producer-product ‘game’ is played most energetically. That is, the unfairness of rewards and recognition (and punishment and derision) that associate with this game manifests most where the game is played most energetically; e.g. in the U.S.
The Growth of Incarceration in the United States Exploring Causes and Consequences (2014) Consensus Study Report
“The U.S. penal population of 2.2 million adults is by far the largest in the world.”Just under one-quarter of the world’s prisoners are held in American prisons. The U.S. rate of incarceration, with nearly 1 out of every 100 adults in prison or jail, is 5 to 10 times higher than the rates in Western Europe and other democracies. The U.S. prison population is largely drawn from the most disadvantaged part of the nation’s population: mostly men under age 40, disproportionately minority, and poorly educated. Prisoners often carry additional deficits of drug and alcohol addictions, mental and physical illnesses, and lack of work preparation or experience.
My general observation re the following;
ARE WE READY TO “GET REAL”? Is COVID 19 a CRAZY-MAKER?
Where do we get this abstract concept of a PATHOGEN from?
WHAT FOLLOWS HERE IS AN ACCOUNT OF WHERE THE ABSTRACT AND UNREAL CONCEPT OF PATHOGEN COMES FROM.
-1- The first thing to note about the concept of PATHOGEN as it is used (e.g. PATHOGENS KILL) is that it is used to portray the JUMPSTART or LOCAL SOURCING of actions and development, as with ‘FIRE BURNS” and ‘LIGHTNING FLASHES” exposed by Nietzsche as a DOUBLE ERRORS of language and gramma. This DOUBLE ERROR serves to ‘effable-ize’ or LOCALIZE the ‘ineffable-because-NONLOCAL. TRANSFORMATION as in the Wave-field phenomena of TRANSFORMATION (the cycling of spring-summer-fall-winter phases). In the expression FIRE BURNS, there is no mention of the slow dessicating of vegetation over a long hot summer wherein NONLOCAL influences TRANSFORM vegetation that is generally moist into a bomb waiting ready to LOCALLY explode as in BURNING FLAME. BURNING FLAME is a DOUBLE ERROR pointing to something LOCAL which DOES NOT EXIST! TRANSFORMATION IS REAL and it is NONLOCAL. “PATHOGENS KILL” is a DOUBLE ERROR as is “FIRE BURNS”, an expedient means of effable-izing (by grammatically LOCALIZING) the ineffable-because-NONLOCAL “TRANSFORMATION” (the seasonal Wave-field dynamic).
-2- The concept of a PATHOGEN is the logical inverse of the EGO-rooted concept of the BENOGEN which is based on the DOUBLE ERROR of language and grammar which injects into the intellect, the abstract notion of LOCAL SOURCING as in “FIRE BURNS”. PATHOGENS are the imputed “LOCAL SOURCE” of NEGATIVE ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENT (e.g. ‘death’ and ‘illness’). EGO serves as an archetype, firstly for BENOGENS that LOCALLY SOURCE POSITIVE ACTIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS, but such DOUBLE ERROR constructs confound the psyche with their inbuilt, innate intellect-conditioning duplicity; i.e. where FIGURE and GROUND are understood as TWO, the dynamic of the FIGURE may be understood as being SOURCED by the dynamic of the GROUND (“It takes a whole community to source the raising of a [good/bad] child”), … or, ambiguously, the dynamic of the GROUND may be understood as being SOURCED by the dynamic of the FIGURE (“One bad apple sources spoilage of the whole barrel”). This ambiguity divides us WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS into two opposing groups; i.e. LIBERALS (“It takes a whole community to source the raising of a [good/bad] child”) and CONSERVATIVES (“One bad apple sources spoilage of the whole barrel”)
IN THE WAVE-FIELD REALITY OF NONLOCAL TRANSFORMATION, as understood in modern physics, indigenous aboriginal cultures, Taoism/Buddhism and Advaita Vedanta, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS “LOCAL SOURCING”, therefore this SCHIZOPHRENIC division on the basis of innate ambiguity in the concept of SOURCING, does not arise. Note that this EGO-based belief in LOCAL SOURCING can SPLIT UNDERSTANDING NOT ONLY at the level of the social collective (as in the CONSERVATIVE – LIBERAL SPLIT) but the SPLIT can also occur within the individual intellectualizing process, as manifests in ‘BIPOLAR DISORDER’ and ‘SCHIZOPHRENIA’. In other words, the CONSERVATIVE – LIBERAL SPLIT is the same SCHIZOPRHENIA that can manifest within the individual, but which more commonly manifests as a split within the social collective.
To summarize this point, FIRE BURNS is a grammatic of the same genre as PATHOGENS KILL, and it delivers an intellectual conceptualization which is abstract in that it imputes LOCAL SOURCING to what is, in reality, nonlocal TRANSFORMATION, overcoming the ‘communications’ barrier arising from the fact that TRANSFORMATION is ‘everywhere-at-the-same-time’ (NONLOCAL). ‘FIRE BURNS’ and/or PATHOGENS KILL, is the grammatical ‘work-around’ for the innate NONLOCALITY of TRANSFORMATION in that it establishes the absolutes of LOCAL-in-SPACE and LOCAL-in-TIME. This DOUBLE ERROR gives us intellectual traction (artificially by GRAMMAR) to do an end run around the ineffability of NONLOCAL relational TRANSFORMATION as is innate in the Wave-field dynamic.
While Wave-field based TRANSFORMATION is the reality, since it is ineffable, a reduction to effable is required, and this is achieved through the DOUBLE ERROR. The FIRST ERROR is NAMING to impute local thing-in-itself BEING to wave-form, and we conflate this with the SECOND ERROR of GRAMMAR to impute the power of SOURCING actions and developments to the NAMING-instantiated thing-in-itself (i.e. we compounding the FIRST ERROR with this SECOND ERROR to reduce NONLOCAL TRANSFORMATION to ersatz LOCAL SOURCING). This is how we substitute PATHOGENS for Wave-field based relational dissonance. This DOUBLE ERROR reduction is how Robin Hood and Jean Valjean, whose natural balancing oriented (NONLOCALLY INDUCED) behaviours (moving materials from regions of surplus to regions of deficiency) become recast as PATHOGENS; i.e. while the impetus for their actions is NONLOCAL, deriving from imbalance in the socio-environmental dynamic, the DOUBLE ERROR of language and grammar recasts such behaviour as LOCALLY SOURCED. The concept of PATHOGEN is thus language and grammar abstraction created by the DOUBLE ERROR.
-3- GROWTH is a DOUBLE ERROR abstraction that goes hand-in-glove with the DOUBLE ERROR based invention of the PATHOGEN. To regard GROWTH as REAL spawns social dysfunction. The ‘wheat field’ is just a NAME and the complexity of soil, plant and ecosystem and relations to Wilderness is beyond capture in simple language and grammar such as “The wheat field (the local cultivated patch of land) grew from 2 acres to 160 acres. To believe in GROWTH as something ‘real’ is to deny the reality of TRANSFORMATION, not OVERTLY DENY but block out by substituting something simple (the GROWTH of something LOCAL) for something more complex (NONLOCAL TRANSFORMATION).
The problem (and this is a language-based-representation problem) is that TRANSFORMATION is INEFFABLE-because-it-is-NONLOCAL. The Wave-field aka ‘the Tao is NONLOCAL and thus INEFFABLE.
GROWTH is based on the notional existence of a LOCAL thing-in-itself such as a farmer’s field, a cultivated or ‘improved’ ground area where the trees are removed along with birds nests, wolf’s lairs etc. In our mind’s eye, we see this GROWTH in the FLATSPACE terms of a simple increase of area, say from 2 acres to 160 acres. Our intellect is perfectly capable of such simple extrapolation as suggests GROWTH. However, our intuition may be silently screaming out to us that GROWTH is not what happens because enlarging the cultivated area encroaches on the surrounding Wilderness, as if our patch of cultivate area we are extending is on the surface of a sphere, so that the plants and creatures of the Wilderness are experiencing a reduction of their Wilderness land. In other words, what we were describing as GROWTH of our cultivated land was, at the same time, SHRINKAGE of the Wilderness land in which case GROWTH is not an adequate term and we need to instead speak in terms of TRANSFORMATION. Meanwhile, GROWTH is LOCAL and thus EFFABLE while TRANSFORMATION is NONLOCAL and thus INEFFABLE.
Our WESTERN CULTURE pervasive use of the concept of GROWTH as if it were something REAL is a CRAZY-MAKER because there is no such thing as GROWTH in the Wave-field aka the transforming relational continuum aka ‘the Tao’. The farming operations which involve the GROWTH of cultivated land are a fictitious abstraction. What is going on is ALWAYS NONLOCAL TRANSFORMATION that is INEFFABLE and that we use the DOUBLE ERROR of language and grammar to REDUCE to EFFABLE for the convenience of making it linguistically, intellectually (even if by abstractive reduction) shareable.
This tool of DOUBLE ERROR based reduction that has us speaking in terms of LOCAL GROWTH is a very useful TOOL so long as we DON’T FORGET that it is just a tool of inference that we can’t take LITERALLY, but use to BOOTSTRAP an understanding of the INEFFABLE-because-NONLOCAL that lies innately beyond reach of the EFFABLE. Modern physics and ‘THE EAST’ do not forget that the REDUCTION TO EFFABLE is just a TOOL OF INFERENCE, and Wittgenstein captures this as follows;
6.54 My propositions are elucidatory in this way: he who understands me finally recognizes them as senseless, when he has climbed out through them, on them, over them. (He must so to speak throw away the ladder, after he has climbed up on it.)
He must surmount these propositions; then he sees the world rightly.
7.0 Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.
–Wittgenstein, Tractatus Logico Philosophicus
WEST has fallen into the habit of employing the DOUBLE ERROR based reduction to LOCAL and EFFABLE as the operative REALITY rather than, as modern physics and the EAST have done, employing it as a ‘tool of INFERENCE’ aka BOOTSTRAP DEVICE aka Wittgenstein Ladder.
The PATHOGEN is a case in point. We WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS “SET UP” Robin Hood and Jean Valjean as PATHOGENS (criminals) through the use of the DOUBLE ERROR which, as with FIRE BURNS, imputes LOCAL SOURCING in place of the INEFFABLE-BECAUSE-NONLOCAL (Wave-field) TRANSFORMATION.
This ‘SET-UP’ puts us WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENTS on the tack of PATHOGEN ELIMINATION, rather than going after the REAL issue which is relational imbalance. For example WESTERN MEDICINE continues to address ‘c. difficle’ as a proliferating pathogen in attempting to cure those who suffer from colitis. Meanwhile, the proliferating of c. difficile is from IMBALANCE in the microbial assumable (i.e. BALANCE in microbial assemblage associates with the natural healthy condition) in the wake of being administered an ‘anti-biotic’ as part of some other medical objective, perhaps as a precautionary measure in association with minor surgery). In the microbial assemblage as in the human social assemblage, relational imbalance is IS NOT LOCALLY SOURCED (the WESTERN CULTURE ADHERENT’S interpretation based on the DOUBLE ERROR concept of a PATHOGEN attack). THERE IS NO ‘SOURCING’ (AKA ‘SORCERY’) IN RELATIONAL TRANSFORMATION AKA THE WAVE-FIELD DYNAMIC. DOUBLE ERROR BASED ‘SOURCING’ IS ABSTRACTION INVENTED FOR THE PURPOSE OF EFFABLE-IZING AND THUS MAKING LINGUISTICALLY—INTELECTUALLY SHAREABLE, THE INEFFABLE-BECAUSE-NONLOCAL ‘TRANSFORMATION’.
The PATHOGEN is an expedient EFFABLE-IZING PROP to assist us in intellectually representing the INEFFABLE-BECAUSE-NONLOCAL in EFFABLE-BECAUSE-LOCAL terms. It is NOT REAL, it is just a ‘LADDER OF INFERENCE’. For example, Robin Hood’s and Jean Valjean’s BEHAVIOURS were NOT LOCALLY SOURCED (as abstractly recast in language and grammar based DOUBLE ERROR reduction terms) but were induced in the service of NONLOCAL relational TRANSFORMATION. As in the DOUBLE ERROR reduction, FIRE BURNS, we can reduce the NONLOCAL TRANSFORMATION that manifests as the flow from regions of relative surplus to regions of relative deficiency, to abstract terms of LOCAL SOURCING.
The U.S. statistics on the “GROWTH OF CRIMINALS (PATHOGENS)” reflect an increase in popular belief in one-sided PRODUCER-PRODCT based GROWTH which is increasingly substituted for understanding in terms of inclusion in TRANSFORMATION.
The U.S. rate of incarceration, with nearly 1 out of every 100 adults in prison or jail, is 5 to 10 times higher than the rates in Western Europe and other democracies.
The GROWTH of production is an abstract concept that is popularly being SUBSTITUTED or the reality of NONLOCAL TRANSFORMATION. This PRODUCER-PRODUCT based GROWTH perspective is supported by EGO inflation, and it SUBSTITUTES FOR (and in the process erases/removes) the greater reality of relational TRANSFORMATION.
The PATHOGEN KILLS, as also the case with FIRE BURNS, is a reduction to EFFABLE-BECAUSE-LOCAL of the INEFFABLE-BECAUSE-NONLOCAL These DOUBLE ERROR intellectual abstractions are expedients for INFERRING the INEFFABLE that lies beyond rational intellection in the realm of intuitive inference. Hence;
6.54 My propositions are elucidatory in this way: he who understands me finally recognizes them as senseless, when he has climbed out through them, on them, over them. (He must so to speak throw away the ladder, after he has climbed up on it.) — Wittgenstein
