It's appropriate since they believe that words are magic and as long as they say the right words, the "spell" will be cast and they will become immune to laws.
For the simple minded its understandable how anyone with psychological knowledge could be confused with magicians.
Just look at fortune tellers and the likes.
Its a perversion of the truth that any sufficiently advanced enough science can only be interpreted as magic. For some, common knowledge seems sufficient enough.
different words with identical meaning can effect us differently
Other than puzzling us when a different word is not known because it stopped being used in that sense in the twelfth century?
I am not sure that there are studies that found anything statistically significant. It's like saying that there are 'selling slogans' when in fact no matter how selling you slogan is, no one will buy if the product is bullshit
Crippled -> handicaped -> disabled -> person with disability.
They all essentially mean exactly the same
Thing. They all where the proper terminology at some point in time. But the emotional effect is different.
Also some political examples:
Global-warming and climate-change.
Pro-life and anti-abortion
I assume most people are smart enough not to let
Terminology cloud judgement but we are talking about the kind of people who read and believe the stuff like in the book above.
I mean, anyone who's ever taken Prof. George Lakoff's classes at UC Berkeley is familiar with his famous "Don't think of an elephant" lecture. He tells his students not to think about an elephant, then goes on to describe an elephant in agonizing detail, but under no circumstances are you permitted to picture that elephant in your mind.
Lakoff also wrote a book based on this lecture, titled "Don't Think of an Elephant!" where he tells us that
Frames are mental structures that shape the way we see the world. As a result, they shape the goals we seek, the plans we make, the way we act, and what counts as a good or bad outcome of our actions. In politics our frames shape our social policies and the institutions we form to carry out policies.
Every word we have is defined relative to a conceptual frame, even trying to negate the frame activates the frame. So, if I tell you "Don't think of an elephant" you will immediately think of an elephant!
Or you know, from the old (and current) French "Parent", which itself came from the Latin "Parentem". But I guess making a quick search isn't as fun as making shit up.
Nah man, that doesn't sound right. See "pair rent" is much more believable. Everyone knows that these conspiracy things always need to rhyme or sound similar or have the same letters but rearranged. Not be the same word in another language, that's just bunk.
Well, the book didn't say that's the origin of the word. Just that the happenstance of it being similar to the phrase makes the government like using the word.
early 15c. (late 12c. as a surname), "a mother or father; a forebear, ancestor," from Old French parent "father, parent, relative, kin" (11c.) and directly from Latin parentem (nominative parens) "father or mother, ancestor," noun use of present participle of parire "bring forth, give birth to, produce," from PIE root *pere- (1) "to produce, bring forth." Began to replace native elder after c. 1500.
also from early 15c.
BIG GOVERNMENT has apparently been planning this since feudalism.
OH MY GISH !!! parent comes from the Latin for to produce??? Like produce that can be shipped in ships, therefore when you are Berne’s you become produce that can be shipped on a ship, turning you in a product of the US government corp (unincorporated), which means that when you are driving you are actually being shipped as freight in your car, which means that only maritime law applies and that the cop that is stopping you doesn’t have jurisdiction because you are actually a shipped good and he isn’t the coast guard or a customs officer.
That also means that you can’t physically be charged for stuff because the shipping company (i.e. the US government) is actually responsible for all the costs incurred during shipping (i.e. you driving) under the imperial maritime charter or 1753 and the amended treaty of Orville of 1772.
You believe the dictionary about the definition of words? Don't you know the word dictionary was invented in 1793 when a homesteader fucked a woman named Mary? Turns out Mary was married to a member of the sinister Jewish cabal that decided to invent the dictionary as a means of deceiving the goiym - thus dicks-on-Mary.
Daily reminder that most conspiracies point to the Jews, and that becoming a sovcit is an indicator of an upcoming pivot to Nazism.
I theorize that this word magic and the impassioned (yet nonsense) speaking comes from and is encouraged by religion and worship of the bible
When it comes to pulling out deeper divine meaning from the bible by analyzing its text, I always chuckle that these people often don't realize (or blatantly reject) that the English copy they are reading has been loosely translated dozens of times Iver millenia.
I refuse to believe that whoever put this to print did so earnestly. Surely they at least must've known this was bullshit they were peddling to make a quick buck off some gullible rubes.
My Neighbor was diagnosed with schizophrenia and when she seeked us out for help or to talk she would put that exact same "logic" to each and every of her conspiracies.
My understanding of schizophrenia is that it's the result of that part of our brain that sees faces in toast becoming overactive. They'll hear voices in random sounds and see connections where there aren't any.
I wonder how much of that comes from leaning in to this kind of stuff. Like the brain thinks it has found a connection and the ego is impressed with it and it activates some kind of reward pathway that reinforces the part that found the connection, which then goes searching for the next reward.
As someone who had a dear friend get completely lost to Schizophrenia, it seemed to come on suddenly and out of nowhere when said friend was around the age of 18. There were really no signs before then. I think genetics play the biggest role with Schizophrenia.
Well it was a cou-ple. Cou is French for three twenties and seventeen, and ple is Sumerian for hundred. So it was the whole cabal of 'em, making their plans.
You know it’s funny. I keep trying to wrap my head around their beliefs; and then I hit the crazy wall and realize that there is nothing sane anywhere in there.
The difficulty with trying to understand their beliefs is, they're not coherent at all. Their 'beliefs' differ from person to person and they're highly fluid, meaning they can flick from one thing to the next without any coherent reason or logic to it.
It's very difficult to discern a structure or a solid foundation even when the entire belief structure looks to be stuck between different dimensions of insanity.
The belief is the solid structure. It's science, almost: instead of taking experimental results, and work out a theory to explain it, you take what should be true, and therefore must be true, and therefore is true, and work out something, anything, to prop it up.
This made me think about when you hear about someone who has a really high genius level IQ in the 180s or whatever; statistically, there must be someone somewhere who has an IQ as far below the average of 100 than the genius IQ is over it.
That's not necessarily how averages work.
80, 80, 80, 80, 100, 180.
The average is 100, but there is no "counterpart" to the 180 at the end.
EDIT: note that my sample size is way to small to perfectly describe the human population, and variance distribution is also impossible to represent with a sample size of 6. Obviously there ARE people way below 80 IQ; I'm just saying you can't say for sure that there must be a person around 20IQ just because one with 180 exists.
technically, IQ is by definition normally distributed with 100 as the center. But by the definition there would only be about 500 people in the world with an IQ of 20 or lower, so it breaks down because of the amount of people in an unrecoverable coma and such
I question how you can even design a test such that the result has a normal distribution around a specific score without testing everyone and applying some kind of bell curve to the overall results. Especially when you want to boil intelligence down to a single dimension. Even if that one number is based on a composite of others, that complicates the turning it into a bell curve, which makes designing a test to target a specific average even harder.
And add to that average intelligence itself being a moving target. Someone of above average intelligence in the middle ages might be considered below average today.
as far as I know, yep fitting the "raw score" of a test to a bell curve is exactly how it's done. And often the score is sort of "localized", for example only other scores from the same country and done in the same year are compared.
IQ is in reality a very rough metric, I think the only widely accepted practical use is to detect developmental or mental issues (often associated with an IQ below 70), and even then you need to consider that eg. someone who never received adequate education may score lower than what they "should"
The problem with that is the lower under 100 you go, the less functional the person is. People with such low IQs would barely be able to understand what the hell sovcits are about not to mention standing no chance to come up with such ideas.
They are people who think that successful people follow different rules but that those rules are fair and available to everyone if they know to use them. It's a weird combination of not believing the system is fair but also believing that it is but on a different level. And if they can figure out the magical combination of words, they can outsmart the people who usually enforce rules and laws. They think legalese has some kind of occult truth and meaning to it, rather than being shit we made up over the years. They think that law enforcement being inconsistent with following or enforcing rules is actually because they follow a secret set of rules to the letter.
They also think that since money doesn't follow the gold standard, nothing backs it, therefore anything can be currency since currency doesn't need any backing anymore (which is just a misunderstanding if what money actually is).
And another group of people goad them on with bullshit, either to make money conning them or to sow civil unrest (because now cops need to deal with people confidently asserting that they aren't driving but traveling, which doesn't require a driver's license, debt collectors need to deal with people essentially trying to issue their own currency to pay their bills, and judges need to deal with people who think they can opt out of following laws while still living in the country).
yes because the us government would OBVIOUSLY put in a hint in their wording if they really wanted to do that. just a little easter egg for us to discover
It's not the government doing it though. It's the secret cabal of "Dark Magicians" who secretly control the government, using the secret, 100% literal, magic of words.
O yea bcuz if u smart enuff to figger it out u can join guvument. That how they get new guvument ppl. Or u can be cool and tell the sheeple and free minds. This man who rote book is a hero.
It's interesting that the government has allowed the book to be published. You would have thought that they might have done something about it, if you know, they control the world.
They call it that as a trick to subject babies to the regulatory structures that govern ships, which essentially says that the government can commandeer you whenever they deem necessary. Oh you think you have rights? Well in the eyes of the law, you're just another skiff with a bad attitude.
Printed media has always been huge for conspiracy nuts before the internet, and plenty of them still make books. John Birch Society, Soilder of Fortune magazine, and plenty of terrible tax evasion and antivax books abound even now.
Wow. A lot of talk about magic in there. Way more wiccan hippy than right wing sovcit but I guess you go far enough down the rabbit hole and they converge.
Pdf also seemed to make my CPU spike like crazy, wonder what else is embedded in there... Probably not magic
As a Wiccan, please don't bring us into this. That book has nothing to do with common Wiccan beliefs. Just because someone's using the word magic does not mean it has anything to do with wicca. That text has as much in common with Wicca as a Mr. Clean magic eraser.
I'm curious as to what beliefs one can have about magic at all (other than "it's not real") that are any less insane than this. Please do enlighten me.
Generally Wiccans believe that magic is a force of nature that science just hasn't explained yet. Its a way of nudging the forces of nature in a desired direction often in conjunction with the forces of diety. Its not like magic from Harry Potter. We do not for example believe we can fly or get out of debts with magic words written on letters.
At the end of the day Wiccans aren't any crazier than any other religion. If you're an atheist you'll find us just as "crazy" as any other theist. If you believe in a diety then our beliefs are different but no crazier than yours.
Not understanding our religion and then choosing to compare us to someone who is likely mentally ill is just asshole behavior. If you don't understand Wicca why bring us up at all except to be outright disrespectful?
Ok I was saying they thought the law was magic and they just needed to find the right incantation as a diving joke but it looks like that's actually true
Have you ever wondered why they like to use the word etymology to describe the study of words and their origins? The word etymology sound similar to the words "A tamale, gee!," which means "A tamale you're excited about." When your pair rents signed your birth certificate, they agreed that you're a tamale.
I recall it being explained as part of the creation of the federal reserve where the corporation of America was formed with citizens being the backing for the central bank.
Gotcha, so the Federal Reserve is a Corporation (though I can't find documentation on that aspect either way) and the laws of the Federal Government allow Corporations to exist so the Federal Government still can't be a corporation!
I know you are not disagreeing, it is just so weird for the Sov Cit's to pick this hill to die on.
They call the Federal Reserve a corporation due to the fact that it actually is a private legal entity. As in, the President of the United States can't tell Jerome Powell, the current Fed chairman, what to do.
Yes that's the point. He spoke English before the writing of the Constitution so how can a word be part of a conspiracy from a country that didn't exist until after his birth? If he spoke English for the first 20 years of his life, then then clearly the word parent can't be part of this conspiracy.
The word "Mother" comes from the insect "Moth" because United States of America (incorporated) endorse the existence of Mothpeople that make up the population. They extort them for the products (Babies) and make sure to also drop in the easter egg of calling your Berth-Giving person "MOTHer"
But seriously, the "Evil Jew™" thing is exhausting. Don't they feel silly when they find out that it's always the same imaginary boogeyman? A boogeyman who leaves clues and hints everywhere, for morons with a grade 9 education to find, no less.
You'd figure a group that is controlling everything would, ah, nudge things a bit in the direction of people not treating them as a scapegoat throughout recorded history, often with extreme brutality.
Unfortunately they feel vindicated when they "discover" the Jews are still behind everything. It's like they're a recurring cartoon, comic book villains.
Aha! Of course Dr. Evil the Jews are behind it; they hate America. They've been planning this all along!

I do not
understandstand under!I see your stand under, but I am immune to it because I overstand.
That’s probably the most sane part about It.
I think they are saying that those Words where chosen specifically because they can subconsciously affect the words users perceptions.
Not magic nor a conspiracy but there is psychological truth that different words with identical meaning can effect us differently.
No, they mean literal magic. I started reading the book, and they're talking about "Dark Magicians" on the first page.
For the simple minded its understandable how anyone with psychological knowledge could be confused with magicians.
Just look at fortune tellers and the likes.
Its a perversion of the truth that any sufficiently advanced enough science can only be interpreted as magic. For some, common knowledge seems sufficient enough.
Sovcits are true believers in the magic. Anyone smart enough to do as you are suggesting is stealing from the true believers.

I cant even get trough your text without picturing the whole classroom including the elephants in everyones mind.
I am not sure what the idea is but if i was given this assignment i conclude 3 possibilities.
the point is that its impossible so i can just give up and laugh at the spectacle.
i should grab for my headphones, close my eyes and focus my mind to some place far away
run out of the classroom and do something that requires concentration. Random conversation with someone.
Lakoff also wrote a book based on this lecture, titled "Don't Think of an Elephant!" where he tells us that

My condolences for your loss, I have a friend that struggled but recovered mostly, so I imagine how that might be
They "got into numerology" lol like it's a hobby.
A couple of them? Surely you must've imagined it!

Also I'm pretty sure an IQ of at little as 20 would probably be impossible to measure.
"Can they in any way hold the paper or make marks to it (despite a functioning motor system)? No? Mark as anything below 50, nobody's gonna know"
I question how you can even design a test such that the result has a normal distribution around a specific score without testing everyone and applying some kind of bell curve to the overall results. Especially when you want to boil intelligence down to a single dimension. Even if that one number is based on a composite of others, that complicates the turning it into a bell curve, which makes designing a test to target a specific average even harder.

(one related example is the flynn effect)
IQ is in reality a very rough metric, I think the only widely accepted practical use is to detect developmental or mental issues (often associated with an IQ below 70), and even then you need to consider that eg. someone who never received adequate education may score lower than what they "should"
The problem with that is the lower under 100 you go, the less functional the person is. People with such low IQs would barely be able to understand what the hell sovcits are about not to mention standing no chance to come up with such ideas.
Oh, the rest of you understand these guys?

Statistically, when you are in a group of average people, e.g. in a mall or on a motorway, half the people around you have an IQ of 100 or less.
Unless there's far more stupid people around you than intelligent people which is fairly likely.
Massive dumbass are a far more common than geniuses so there's a bunch of idiots running around that are pulling the average down.
That's not what this is and your insulting people who have severe disabilities.
I don't know why you are downvoted. Delusional people can be pretty intelligent by some measures.

Have you ever wondered why they like to use the word etymology to describe the study of words and their origins? The word etymology sound similar to the words "A tamale, gee!," which means "A tamale you're excited about." When your pair rents signed your birth certificate, they agreed that you're a tamale.
No thanks, I don't like ants

I never understand why they say the US is a corporation? It isn't and can't be
Because "corporation" sounds scary
I recall it being explained as part of the creation of the federal reserve where the corporation of America was formed with citizens being the backing for the central bank.
Gotcha, so the Federal Reserve is a Corporation (though I can't find documentation on that aspect either way) and the laws of the Federal Government allow Corporations to exist so the Federal Government still can't be a corporation!
I know you are not disagreeing, it is just so weird for the Sov Cit's to pick this hill to die on.
They call the Federal Reserve a corporation due to the fact that it actually is a private legal entity. As in, the President of the United States can't tell Jerome Powell, the current Fed chairman, what to do.
This seems to have some context around it.
It's apparently referred to as the strawman theory
An educational reading, thank you
The most sensible thing in that book is the legal disclaimer at the front.
It's also the most ironic, considering the author included it to avoid damages from the very system they're discrediting.
Holy shit....
Just started to read it...
Holy shit
I kinda wanna find the name of the book - looks like a interesting read.
Do I agree with it - no. But still an interesting read.
It's called Word Magic by Pao Chung.
OP posted a Google drive link to the book in this thread
Part of me wants to buy this book just to see how crazy it gets. But I don’t want to give the grifters money…
This mofo never had any “loco parentis” at school then
So the United States defined English did they, that's interesting, so what language did Abraham Lincoln speak prior to that?
I might be eating the onion here but, I think the constitution went into effect like 20 years before Lincoln was born.
Also, I'm cool with the United States defining English. We have marginally better culture than England. So I guess I'd prefer to say I speak American.
Yes that's the point. He spoke English before the writing of the Constitution so how can a word be part of a conspiracy from a country that didn't exist until after his birth? If he spoke English for the first 20 years of his life, then then clearly the word parent can't be part of this conspiracy.
Laugh all you want - I'm now worth $700 million as the majority shareholder in my birth certificate.
I feel for them in a way because they didn’t consent to being born. Like the rest of us. Oh well.
The word "Mother" comes from the insect "Moth" because United States of America (incorporated) endorse the existence of Mothpeople that make up the population. They extort them for the products (Babies) and make sure to also drop in the easter egg of calling your Berth-Giving person "MOTHer"
Okay but who is this "they" refer to?
In this case, since it's about control, probably the nice folks with the deli who also use space lasers to control the media.
You mean the JEW media?!
But seriously, the "Evil Jew™" thing is exhausting. Don't they feel silly when they find out that it's always the same imaginary boogeyman? A boogeyman who leaves clues and hints everywhere, for morons with a grade 9 education to find, no less.
You'd figure a group that is controlling everything would, ah, nudge things a bit in the direction of people not treating them as a scapegoat throughout recorded history, often with extreme brutality.
Unfortunately they feel vindicated when they "discover" the Jews are still behind everything. It's like they're a recurring cartoon, comic book villains.
It's pay rents. They pay the rent.
