Ok, I've done a thing! - again !
Apart from not utilizing 90% of the features power point has, I've actually made a slide show! (no mean feat, learning from scratch when you're a tech idiot/ buffoon /moron...you get the idea. )
I'm gonna make it into a video presentation (music and maybe some narration)...BUT...then... I thought 'why not present it in gif form to?
So I tried - with mixed results....
Problems arose after these first few slides - due to the amount of information on each slide, and the limited time the gif would slow down to..Bugger...
So that last few 'slides' are just screen shots of the 'video' I have yet to finish.
This is a very useful concept. It is why I maintain that government never does anything. It is government agents that do them. The individuals acting on behalf of government are personally responsible for their actions, regardless if they do them on behalf of government or not, and can only do things which they personally have authority to do.
Government is not a person, and has no authority. Only people have authority.
This is why government does not have any authority to order you around. The government agents acting on behalf of government only have the same authority over themselves you do, and have no more authority over you than you have over them.
Thanks for keeping it real.
Also, "a tree" is NOT a fact (the map is not the territory).
A claim of a specific tree at a specific place and time might qualify as a fact.
The variable "a tree" is an ontological axiom.
Also, facts are not feelings.
Love is not a fact.
Love is a meaningful personal, private, unfalsifiable experiential gnosis (QUALIA).
I do not define love as a feeling, but as an enduring commitment to benefit another. That commitment may not be any more a 'fact' than the feeling of lust or the glow of oxytocin, but the actions I undertake because of my love for others are real facts, if only in retrospect.
Your FEELING of love (and or immaterial "commitment") is not a FACT.
A fact must be empirically demonstrable and or logically necessary QUANTA.
Your internal GNOSIS does not qualify.
This is fundamental.
Thanks!
I'd make lots of these K.I.S.S. kind of vids, if they get the support.
I think there are people that can learn basic principles - before they get indoctrinated and also help deconstruct the 'mentally confused' (arising from the various indoctrination camps growing up...)
This false idea that is inculcated very early in children is foundational to many misconceptions that trouble society today. Not only does it cause tolerance of collectivism, but also causes folks to eschew responsibility for their own actions.
The fallacy of false concreteness is easily disproved, as your simple examples reveal, and once it is dispelled, many disempowering policies and impositions of tyrannical oppression are revealed as false and crimes against humanity.
It's definitely a good start towards rational society competent to thrive instead of suffer the depredations of a parasitic class.
Your presentation was excellent in terms of how you communicated the information. Excellent layouts made it fun and easy to read. Personally I'm always drawn to slides that have a good image to help describe a concept.
Not sure a gif is the best way to present the information. It is easy to start reading not from the beginning slide of the presentation. It kept changing slides before I could finish reading to determine the correct order to begin from. Large gifs also stall often when waiting for the other frames to download from the blockchain.
Similar topics I bet you could explain better than most people. "You're Using Language Concepts to Incorrectly Explain Logic." (ie. A person states they are only physically attracted to women, therefore they are sexist.)
How do you explain to someone that a new/special label they assign you, or anyone else, just because it is defined explicitly, doesn't make it a reality or true? The worst is when people change the modern definition of a term. We live in a world now with people running around calling everyone else not waving their flag a [fill in the blank], for instance.
Cheers! - and thanks for your input.
(the gif thing didn't work, so I changed to screen shots (before I did the vid, that was)
...here's the vid.

Good topics that you bring up - let me see what I can do....
This is great. I had never really thought about this before, until I read this. Thanks, and look forward to when, if you decide, to make a video on this also! Gives new meaning to old phrase - except today is like "can't see the tree for the forest"
Thanks, matey, glad it was useful.
here's the vid version

Great points! Keep working on your presentation, the more you try the better you'll get.
I just saw a similar post regarding the spurious belief in a 'collective', here -

Cheers matey - yup 'practice makes.......better'..lol
the vid is uploaded now
If you don't look at the trees , you will get lost in the forest ;-)
love it :D
@tipu curate
Thank you!
We need some basic clear thinking to help unravel the Marxian/postmodern Gordian knot! lol

It sounds like you're distinguishing between abstract-nouns and concrete-nouns.
I call the same distinction FACT versus OPINION.
A FACT must be empirically demonstrable and or logically necessary QUANTA (and emotionally meaningless).
An OPINION must be personal, private, experiential, anecdotal, unfalsifiable, gnosis, QUALIA (and emotionally meaningful).
Plato's Parable of the MMORPG,
Once upon a time there were a number of people who lived in complete darkness and the only thing they could see was their computer screens.
What they saw on their screens was their reality.
The only other people they knew were people in-game with magnificent costumes and weapons.
Sure they had to fumble in the darkness in order to microwave a quick meal, or find their bed when they were exhausted, but those were merely incidental inconveniences.
Only the game was real. Only the game was shared experience. Only in-game places and people and items were quantifiable, able to be observed and verified and shared with other players (quanta).
Sometimes an individual would try to explain what kind of food they ate or describe their room (private/personal/unshared knowledge, gnosis) but since none of this information was directly relevant in-game and was fundamentally unverifiable, it was dismissed out-of-hand as unintelligible nonsense. In fact, even the language they had developed had evolved exclusively for in-game interactions, so there really weren't any proper words for "food" or "room" that were not specifically in-game references, and even more than that, since there was no taste, touch, or smell in-game, there were also no words to properly describe those sensations as well.
Great Work.
cheers - I have another one under construction...just a little busy to complete right now..
I know Betty personally and they do not appear to be anywhere near 98 years old, and they do not have any visible grey hair.
A FACT must be empirically demonstrable and or logically necessary.
(IFF) someone tells you their name is "Betty" (AND) that person tells you they are "98 years old" (AND) that person appears to have naturally grey hair on their head (THEN) you know EXACTLY ONE FACT ABOUT THEM (namely, you can empirically demonstrate that at least some of the hair on their head appears to be naturally grey at least on the side that you were able to observe in the lighting conditions available at the time the data was gathered). **
