Let There Be No Confusion



Let There Be No Confusion


 


S/He lights a fire and comes to a quick conclusion.  Things are heating up.  Never Wrong.  Is the track record s/he is seeking.  Words and Deeds.  Setting the world on fire and doing it in prime-fashion-way.  Sucks wind and goes from spot to spot, tending the fires s/he has burning.  And this brings me to the point I want to make.  Let There Be No Confusion.  S/He knows what they are doing, and who will get burned as the flames rise and leave their pit, to engulf us all.  Smoke and Mirrors and sees the reflection of a total eclipse that left us in darkness, just the other day.

Ambiguous equivocating.  Wonder what that means?  Look it up.  And he does.


So I plugged this into the system and was asked.  ‘… ambiguous equivocation…’  or ‘ambiguous equivocating ‘, and I said,  “Both.”
Found myself looking at this:   Of course, most words are ambiguous, but context usually makes a univocal meaning clear. ... The Fallacy of Equivocation occurs when an equivocal word or phrase makes an unsound argument appear sound.

And now it is perfectly clear to me.  I have no idea what this is about.  Equivocation or equivocating,  has me thinking.  Best I go eat an apple and check to see if the fires are spreading.

 


Let There Be No Confusion.  North Korea fires a nuclear weapon in my direction, and the alert will sound.  Sound in time, and that is yet to be determined.  At this point, only words are lighting fires, as most of the implements of fire and destruction are landing in the sea east of North and South Korea and before they reach Japan.  All of this has happened before.  Think back and realize, they test these things over water, or at least that is what I have been lead to believe.  Back to the words I do not understand.  Ambiguous equivocation.   Ambitious equivocating.  And scratch my head.  Looking around for some cake to eat.  Now laughing.


Can’t keep my mind from wandering.  The extra effort applied here, is making me hungry.  Something gnaws at me.  Is times like this that I yearn to run the bases and burn off energy.  But first I need to get me some.  All Talk and no action is exhausting.  For a Bat-Swinger it is what means when it is said, “The worst.”  Has me back on the balance beam.  Equivocation is an informal fallacy resulting for the use of a word in multiple senses, used throughout an argument leading to a false conclusion.   Brings me back to baseball and exercise.  Abbott and Costello’s ‘Who’s on First?”  routine comes to mind.

 

What’s the difference?  Just words.  Nothing has happened yet.  Fire-starter is words.  Invisible and imaginary force that brings the world and universe and asteroids on a collision-course.    Double-entendre.   Dagger in the heart and keeps me on my toes.  Has me thinking about understanding interpersonal communication.  “Who’s on First?”
And another of my favorites.

“Are you talking to me?”

 

Let there be no confusion.   Once a fire is started and left unattended, there will be consequences that are real.  Have other things to do.  Fire Station Statutory Rape.  “Not my job.”  So lean into it and let it go around me.  Is my plan.


He writes a blog.  Voices an opinion, sort of.  Mentions scenarios that reflect the diversity and interactions found in today’s world, the one that surrounds us.  Imaginary or real, and is challenged to come up with an answer.  Some of this is beyond my ability to recognize what is just in front of me and staring me in the face.  Plead ignorance.  Points to the sky and says, “Smoke and I can’t breath.”    Rapid changing situations I must deal with and blame it on technology in an advanced society.

 

Now comes the best part.  “Not my fault.”  I will say.  About that, let there be no confusion.  Echoes follow me.  And yes, there is a big elephant in the room and I have nowhere else to go with any of this.  “Piece of Cake.”  s/he says.  And now the room is laughing.
