Joseph’s Fate<br /> The story of Joseph in the Hebrew Bible, especially in Genesis 41:25–30, depicts how, through God’s help, Joseph ascended from being imprisoned to attaining power. Joseph explains Pharaoh’s dreams of having seven years of plenty and hunger to come, “… God has revealed to Pharaoh what he is about to do” (Genesis 41:25, ESV). https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis+41&version=ESV&utm_source=chatgpt.com

With insight, Pharaoh can prepare Egypt for the oncoming famine giving Joseph the post of second in command at 30. Joseph’s life journey calls for the appreciation of faith, wisdom, and discipline while reproaching capriciousness and dishonest conduct. The story emphasizes the rational conviction of the guidance from divinity as authentic fathers’ leaders must possess.

Ethics and Integrity Lessons from The Life of Siavash

Disregarding Siavash of Shahnameh, Ferdowsi puts him in a position of self-virtue of morals grappling with ethics. Siavash as a character chooses to ward off Sudabeh affections known as his step-mum proving to be of austere moral high ground. He does not kill her. He is put in a trial where tested by fire comes out unscathed yet unproven right. Instead of being praised for his virtue, Siavash has to put up with wrong against him, so much that he must choose neither way, and send himself away from conflict. His tale critiques the fragile nature of moral goodness in his story within the framework of a self-serving political system and accentuates the strength of personal goodness in the absence of God. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siyâvash

Hippolytus:

Divine retribution and the character tragedy of Hippolytus is centered on the themes of chastity and honor and the retaliation of God. A devotee of Artemis, Hippolytus spurns Aphrodite and Phaedra, his stepmother, who makes not-so-discreet attempts at seducing him. Offended by such blasphemy, Aphrodite engineers the tragic event which results in Phaedra’s lying accusation Hippo- lytius’ death. The play deals with and reconciles the dilemma of free will as opposed to divine control. This tale is from ancient Greece as reflected in the Wiki link above.

Linguistic Perspectives

The words used and the translation of these texts have everything to do with how these ideas are interpreted. Through the lens of the King James Bible, the account of Joseph is told through a formal authoritative tone. This reinforces the subjugation of women under men, and the idea of wisdom in men, being favored by God.

Through an Orientalist perspective, Josephus depicts the earlier European account of the Shahnama’s Syavash as sans eye and imbued with innocence, while Rav Sudabeh was depicted as a flawed temptress. Unlike modern renditions like Dick Davis’s, which are more context-centered and nuanced, portraying the ethics instead of the ‘innocence/seduction’ dichotomy.

As time went on, people found ways to translate Hippolytus.

These different stories demonstrate the relationship between virtue, political consequences, and gender. Each tale, whether or not through some form of divine intervention or personal morals, encapsulates the culture and religion of the time. These stories are molded by the language and translation that evolve them through time.

comment - With Trumps win and the nomination of a slate filled with many billionaires to lead major US departments, it's more obvious than ever that what Trump is doing is:

new meme - A hostile corporate takeover of the US government - We shouldn't be surprised as Trump was groomed by the out-of-control corptocracy in the United States - Remember that NBC made him famous with his show "The Apprentice" and during that time, he was celebrated by American corporate culture. Why else did his show reach top position in Nelson ratings? - Trump is the child of the toxic corporate culture of America where money is king, the metric that rules over everything - people and the environment - Trump is merely running the government the way he ran his companies (into the ground), with total control. - On the apprentice, he made famous the phrase "your fired" - We should not be surprised that he is making the US government in the image of himself that he has well publicized for decades.

He recommends to read in the following order, because of thematic significance, I have to determine if I'll do the same.

Books: - A Defence of Classical Education, R. W. Livingstone - Weapons of Mass Instruction, John Taylor Gatto - The Republic, Plato - The Social Contract, Jean-Jacques Rousseau - The Abolition of Man, C.S. Lewis - Discourse on Voluntary Servitude, Étienne de La Boétie - The Road to Serfdom, F. A. Hayek - The Political Theory of the American Founding, Thomas G. West

Rob Pirie argues that if one doesn't understand the foundational principles of their society, in the case of the American Republic, the ancient Greek and Roman history, with a consensus on the foundational virtues for society, the society cannot sustain itself.

Thus, he argues, there is a need for classical (self-)education

  • The author does an excellent job of drawing together many scientifically validated research papers and news media stories on various crisis and integrates them together to support his narrative.
  • As the author states, it is still incomplete but it is comprehensive and detailed enough to use as a starting foundation to build a complex polycrisis map upon. becaues it shows the complexities of the interwoven nexus of problems we face and the massive network of feedbacks between them that makes solving any one of them alone in isolation an impossibility
  • The Cascade Institute focuses on social tipping points, complexity and polycrisis. We could synthesis a number of tools to map out and reveal effective mitigation strategies including:

      • We need to rapidly emerge a new global third political party that does not take money from special interest groups

Hypothesis doesn't have time and date stamps of every sentence available to the user. So we don't know what nonlinear memory recall led to a specific sentence in an annotation. We need some independent Indyweb / Indranet tool that will do this universally. Trains of thoughts are so fragile we can forget the quick cascades very easily.

Consider how rhetorical analysis applies to alt-right political arguments. Alt-right arguments fail miserably under rhetorical analysis. Rhetorical analysis is a tool of academia. Therefore academia is inimical to the alt-right. Therefore, the alt-right will seek to weaken and impune academia. And this is in fact what they do.

Politics defy modeling, but that makes its reality so important

Auseinandersetzungen in Frankreich über die "Zonen mit schwachen Emissionen": Verbotszonen für Dieselfahrzeuge, die dabei nach Emissionsmenge klassifiziert werden. Die Rechten fordern den Verzicht auf diese Zonen, die Linken soziale Begleitmaßnahmen - wobei aber die Rhetorik teilweise ähnlich ist
