Reading MirrorGazers reminds me of listening to lectures by Peter Putnam, whose teacher was John Archibald Wheeler and who improved on Wheeler’s Participatory Anthropic Principle.
Here is MirrorGazers commenting multiple times at Larry Johnson’s blog on a post by Larry titled When More Is Not Better — You Can’t Polish A Turd:
“YOU CAN’T POLISH A TURD”
Lateral change is a constant and hence the half-lives of phenomena are finitite of different trajectors/forms and velocities/speeds, but never infinite.
Polishing a turd requires an opening phase when the turd starts to harden through time before commencement of polishing, ergo precedents.
One example of this process is “American ideology” including but not limited to “We the people hold these truths to be self-evident” which as a function of trajectories and velocities limits the duration of its half-lives.
Polishing turds is deemed by some to be a requirement to the sustainability of “The United States of America” and so another turd, in part predicated upon/a derivative of previous turds entering a mutation phase, is polished – one of the ill informed sleights of hand described by Mr. Rove of “The United States of America” creating their own reality to which some people react in ways not expected/understood by Mr. Rove.
Although some believe the contrary to be the case as a function of their “strategic purposes and acceptable tolerances”, war is not restricted to things that go bang.
Hence the recurring attempts of “The United States of America” at “perception management” by polishing turds whose effectiveness/utility is enhanced with those of a overly graduated view that war is very/mostly about things that go bang – one of the half-lives of “Kremlinology” in “The United States of America” and reliance on dissertations on the need to piss (increasing the noise/signal ratio facilitated by some believing that they should know truths if they are self-evident, and so they should comment upon matters of which they have limited/no knowledge to remain “part of the team” as per the observation of Ms Merman – Let’s get on with the show)
“YOU CAN’T POLISH A TURD”
“Poroschenko, is’nt he a chocolate oligarc?”
That was always debatable, not restricted to Mr. Potanin’s view that he couldn’t be an oligarch because he was Russian.
The Roshen products were always based on low quality ingredients, particularly Cocoa Butter in limited quantities, in big colourful boxes with few chocolates inside.
His target audience was similar to Mars’ target audience in Russia in the early 1990’s in hope of negotiating a similar outcome – the Russian vernacular contemporary slogan of youths: Snickers for your knickers refers.
Roshen also made chocolate and other promotional materials to increase the “perception management” of “Ukrainian freedom” whose availability was not restricted to Independence Square on Kreshatik during February 2014 thereby competing with the hard plain bulkas without salt that a Jewish lady used to welcome Ukrainians into their own homes.
The best quality cakes, chocolates, coffees in Ukraine were by Svytoch from Lemberg/Lwow/Lvov/Lviv based upon Austrian recipes which afforded some social interaction and temporary satisfaction during the 1990’s.
Mr. Poroshenko’s politics were always reflections of his “methods” in others of his “endeavours”.
“Although some believe the contrary to be the case as a function of their “strategic purposes and acceptable tolerances”, war is not restricted to things that go bang.”
“https://strategic-culture.org/news/2023/06/15/putin-and-what-really-matters-in-the-chessboard/”
It is not a chessboard, ergo linear, and the framing/observations/interpretations contained within the link are not omniscient, but perhaps adequate in context to minimise the polishing of turds and dissertations on the need to piss.
“1776-1945= In a bit over Century and a Half, USA became Hyper Power of the world.
1945-2000 = It took Nazi scumbags to DESTROY it ALL in just 55 years.”
Lateral processes have half-lives of varying trajectories and velocities.
Coercive social relations deemed to be “The United States of America” from at least 1620 contained inherent elements of their “demise” of more limited trajectories and velocities, which by way of facilitation/implementation through time increased trajectories and velocities, facilitating the present trajectories and velocities of failures to return to trajectories and velocities which sustained existence and illusions/perceptions of such previously.
“The United States of America” wishes to return to a time which never existed to facilitate their “strategic purpose” of maintaining/sustaining coercive social relations within “acceptable tolerances”- “The United States of America” seeks to turn back time which through attempted implementation facilitated reduction of their half-lives.
