RE: Language, Euphemism, and Distorted Definitions
Wow, thank you, that means a lot. It's really important to me that I reach people and offer some value toward the goal of an enlightened society, and knowing a thinking man such as yourself believes the article can have that effect is very satisfying.
Hey, I checked out your YouTube, is that you there - Graham, is it? If so, it's very nice to meet you (well I suppose it's nice whether that's you or not Hahaha). I could count the number of people I know who understand this information on half a hand, so it's a great pleasure to encounter someone who shares this knowledge.
I watched your video on "Never interfere with your enemy..." and I really homed in on the idea that the immoral action as a mistake. I've often noted how to be morally "wrong" is to be incorrect; how the "sin" is a missing of the mark. But I've never thought about how letting it play out may be beneficial...
Obviously, there is a very thin line here, as immoral acts must be met with defensive action; however, consider the act of political protest... This is a rather ineffectual act of defense in the broad scope, but it clues the enemy in to the fact that they're approaching the line, and cues them to back off a little, devise ways to deceive you better, or screw you in a different way. This can actually aid the "tip-toe toward tyranny" effect, and do more harm than good in the long run.
There's more to uncover here. I have to think on this a bit... In any case, thanks for that, and of course the kind words and Steemit support!
