>logic< isn't Reason

which may be one of the major Problems in an analog world now suffused with ^#@%^@# Boolean hype: that nice simplistic 'solution' for every problem.

(Companies now say that they do not sell 'products'; they sell 'solutions' yada yada urp)

I've been around techno for now several 'careers' - and since just after childhood. I suppose now that, one reason there are so few techno- people who ever ascend in the politics game is: too many of such imagine that the same kinda rote truth-table which might let them debug a program: has Anything! to do with the (maybe holographic?) far-infra-fuzzy reasoning which is associatively done in homo-sap minds !!

Ever Notice (?) - that shortly after.. a new Problem arises (I mean, as defined entirely personally, here) - the Rolodex spins at >Mach1, looking for associations? (more often for loopholes). There may be something faintly-Boolean in aspects of the [search] function but.. the 'data' is manipulated most indescribably *variously*. The so-called mental 'data' IS NOT 1s and 0s. Nor 'operated upon' via commutative or associative MATH = that silly imagination is in our dreams.

So nobody 'wins' ever, the guaranteed polar-opposite play which 'politics' has descended to: in Our time. In Other times there always were the logical-positivists of course: but, in less-noisy times - there was also actual debate, and with far less language corruption as occurs in these times of intentional Bizness pollution of all language. People actually possessed 'recognition vocabularies' in the ~100K range! (The verbing of nouns etc. would simply have been laughed into ignominy, on the second try.)

My guess-to-date: the pollution of Language nears critical mass -- when no one will be able to tell what Anyone actually Meant. I have noticed this 'process' before I could assign a Name to it, all along - and I believe that it is now accelerating and that I can ID the prime mover:

Unprecedented personal Greed, now almost-reduced to a *Packageable Commodity, much like any other purchasable Application:

(A) With Other-People's Capital:
Buy this company.
Sell off the assets.
(People are liabilities)
[Interim: get on More BODs for iteration insurance]
Take carefully crafted Parachute and leave.
GOTO (A)

* YAN verbed noun.

(Or.. one Might... say..)

Thanks IT droids! - for "enabling"
[a current Pop-buzz meaningless building block for new inane TLAs]
the efficient *POG-2000

er.. Processing of Greed?

Ashton,
yeah well: youse guys didn't create the Climate your skill-set serves so well; you were just ~~facilitators~~ {ugh} enablers\ufffd. Like Oppenheimer et al, next ya gotta Live with the Monster you brought to full-immaturity, in exchange for:

the corner-office rung, key to the Jr.-Exec. washroom + crumbs from the folks that [tacitly, of course] deem you also to be - easily replaceable commodities. Sorry about that last: best to save regularly..

(Of course.. it's never too late to repent.. :-\ufffd
