This is not a love song - but it IS a war game....Hypocrisy, they name is @tarazkp. Move 1.

Some people's posts are so intertwined with their person - like @trazkp's posts.
(He rarely, if ever, post anything purely factual ).

It's not an area that he finds comfortable, for facts are solid, tangible, and can be examined.

He prefers his own thoughts instead, which by the very nature of thoughts, can be ambiguous , winding, and vague..
Which is fine, btw. More than fine.

It's an excellent process actually, to discover more about oneself.

But it's is a double edged sword, and not a dynamic that I think that he's took into account.

Well, he will now.

....because I'm good like that.

Thoughts of a non factual nature, or one of personal perceptions and perspectives are not a one way street.

It's not case of putting your own inner musings onto a comment and that's where it ends.
OOOOhhhhhhh no.
The faucet is opened, but it's opened in both directions - it becomes a two way relationship.

With every insight @tarazkp gives on his personal perspectives of the world, he also opens his mind for others to delve into, to examine, to dissect.

It's not optional, it's part and package of the flow of personal information.

While he might want it as a one way dynamic, it doesn't matter. It's not about what he wants.
The conduit is open, and it's a two way street.
by trying to control a narrative, he voluntarily gives up any illusion of having control.
And that is not in @tarazkp 's makeup.

THIS is why problems of discussion about his ideas arise, because he wants an exclusive one way traffic system.
To be in control.

One where he's the one laying out the landscape for others to see, and they remark on the view, on the finished product.
He is not comfortable with people seeing him, and any attempts to try and observe the architecture below, of the mind that created the view, is frowned upon.

Personally, I've always been more interested in the nuts and bolts that go into making up the construction, rather than just looking at the view someone has created.

These kind of posts, due to their nature, are very difficult to disseminate criticism of the posts content, itself , and the person writing them.

The nature of the posts, will mean that any criticism levied at the post will, invariably, be seen as criticism of the persons perspectives....This, by extension, of the person themselves.

Unfortunately, the very inextricable intertwining of a persons ideas and thoughts put onto paper, make it personal.
It's the manifestation of their minds working away, after all, and how they work, committed to the block chain.
It is personal.

Otherwise they wouldn't be a persons thoughts and ideas -they would be factual reports on things.

And very fortunately, I don't give a single flying fuck about personal, I'm more interested in the truth of things.

After his last post of ambiguity, and social justice posturing, (my reply in his comments below) I'm rapidly coming to think that I gave @tarazkp's far more credit than he deserves.
(vis-a-vis his level of intelligence, and my preconceptions regarding his conscious, manipulative, behaviors ).

I think I got it very wrong, in fact. (for reason that I will explain further down).
Doh!

I'm now of the conclusion that they are not motivated by concous direction, but rather one in 'animal survival mode'. It is not a calm , measured, and strategically conscious, one.
(albeit cleverly disguised by using animal cunning strategy, so as to look more like the latter, rather than the former).
My own personal bias (or stripping of away of it, to be more accurate), has been the reason for this change of position.

My default position in life :
To like everyone, and I will always give people the benefit of the doubt.

I (incorrectly) thought an intelligent , but manipulative personality, could be reasoned with, argued with, and educated to other possibilities not steeped in ambiguities and postmodern faux realities.
I was wrong.

I am wrong.

This was my blindness - and my bias.
To first try to see everyone in a positive light with a potential to grow.

I've been trying the same (losing) strategy with my family for fucking years.
( and they to, they are not particularity intelligent, not when compared to an amoeba).

My personal bias (and ego), wanted that change to logic and understanding, through discussion. It is not possible, and not because of intelligence, but lack of.
I projected onto @tarazkp , my lifelong struggle with trying to get blind people to see.
Talk about an exercise in futility.

And I KEEP.... FUCKING... DOING... IT!
Talk about dumb as a bag of rocks.
Doh!
My own ego played a large part . (as you dumb down your own intellect, the ego tends to grow).

How so?
Because I was duped by his bollocks myself, for some months.
Yup.
Hence..... my ego couldn't accept that I was duped, and, instead, tried to made up narratives to lessen the bruising.('he's clever, he just doesn't understand yet,' etc...)

I've learned a lot about myself.
Namely my own masochistic tendencies of volunteering to hit my head against a brick wall. Again, and again, and a-fucking-gain.

On the upside, (always an upside when you learn things), my post yesterday, and the subsequent reply by @agibail-dantes , has focused my mind somewhat.
She's very good for me in that way.

I know Steemit (as a system) can be disheartening sometimes. But, try to not get too frustrated about it. It simply is not worth the energy.

She is correct. 100%.

If it's not fun, then why the hell are you doing it?
I have the choice, I'm not beholden to anyone (except Luce and Sophia, obviously).
I have no employer to answer to, and no where that I have to be, at any given time. (the beer shop at 7 pm, but that doesn't count).
I have no debts to service.
I'm as free as you can get in this unfree world.

And if making negativity out of something that can be positive, then why am I not doing it?
(rearrange the words to make sentence, for the answer - stupid, fucking, I'm, because.)

So it's time to see it as game.
Because that's all your digital real estate will ever be.

It's about your pastime, or hobby, being enjoyable.

It's all about the game.

And I like games.

I see this jousting between myself and @tarazkp as something of 'an intellectual crusade war game'.(just minus the middle east, Islam, dysentery, and the bubonic plague).

Fighting the heathen hordes, who are ruled by beliefs and talismans, by bringing logic and clarity to the masses to occupy the 'intellectual real estate'.
It's a funny war game though, you normally set up sides equally.

The heathen hordes that I'm facing appear to be armed with twigs and some very sharp pieces of mango, whereas I have battleaxes and mace.
War games aren't for everyone, and everyone is free to leave the battlefield anytime they wish. No one forced you to play.

I'm not here to educate, in this crusade, I'm here to illustrate. An to destroy.
Illustrate the differences between the two fundamentally opposed perspectives of the world.
And I do say opposed on purpose.
To destroy falsehoods, and bullshit.

You see, I'm no longer fighting @tarazkp, I'm now having my own war game on the pages of steemit.

As with any war game, there are no real life casualties, no widows, no destroyed peoples, no occupied lands.

As with any war game...
There are bruised ego's. (they are not casualties).
There are destroyed ideas.
There are occupied intellectual landscapes.

As I've said previously, I'm getting medieval, and I'm not taking any prisoners- that time's evaporated ( along with my bias and the recognition of it).

As with any war game, it's voluntary.
As with any war game, you can stop playing whenever you feel like it. No one is forcing you onto the battlefield.
It's not for everyone.
I've seen people nearly in tears, playing at war games.
I've seen them snap at their spouses, as their armies were getting destroyed.
Only in the very competitive.

It's a war game, nothing more.
For me.

I like war games.

I'm very good at them.

For those about to die, we salute you...

Here'a copy paste below of my comment to his last post...an appetizer of things to come.

Hypocrisy, they name is @tarazkp.

... you then meet those who preach, who are judgmental, and are completely blind to their very own shortcomings.
But they are still using their set beliefs to judge those around them.

Rails against the corporations - chooses to work for a corporation.

Rails against consumerism - Drives car, fly's lots, uses high consumption rare earth tech, like smartphones, computers...

Rails and moralizes against people not adapting and changing, and the risk averse.

I think that would be the worse result for me, no change.

But does nothing proactive, and hodles on for dear life, choosing risk averse strategies time after time, after time.

Rails against people being followers, and not 'entrepreneurs', framing the the latter as somehow superior to the former - and then chooses employment over self employment. ie a non entrepreneurial , choice.

Passes judgmental opinions on other people that he's knows nothing about in a 'self perceived wisdom'

What I see online is that a lot of the most outspoken and critical people are often those who don't do much of consequence in life, they are the just existers.

...yet at the same time partaking in the system, and being a wage slave, working 80 hours a week, paying off debt, taking drugs, and having an addictive personality, (as defined my Makenna).
Kind of like, you know existing. In denial of course.
Know thyself.
How is 'don't do much of consequence' defined, exactly? By the standards above?

Listen, I'm not writing this to be nice, nor to be horrible -I'm writing it to shine a light on 'the hypocrite', and 'the disingenuous', and the people and mindsets that peddle it.

just existers?
An interesting and very judgmental use of words, isn't it?
An unconscious mirror of an inner landscape, a personal psychological projection?

...You can’t help but wonder - do they ever look in the mirror to see exactly what is reflected or have they painted on the glass a version they want to see; whether it’s a truth or not?

Know thyself, don't be hypocrite.

It's only the really stupid people, that can't see past their own stupidity.
Hypocrisy is one good indicator of insecurity, egotism, naivety, and stupidity - all combined.

Be careful who you listen to - The genuine trojan horse will never announces themselves.
(And of the less intellectually gifted? - they aren't even aware if they're a trojan horse. See george soros acolytes. lol)
