Posted: Sun Jun 01, 2008 11:24 pm Post subject: Template of Fred’s arguments
Just read this in Candorville. Here is a template for Fred’s arguments:
“If we allow (plural noun):_______________ to (verb):_____________, it will destroy the institutions of (sacred noun):______________________ and then where will we be.”
And here’s Fred’s really vicious template:
“Plus, it would give our children the wrong idea. They’d grow up thinking it’s ok to (disastrous verb):_______________ with (disgusting noun):_________________, and that’s just wrong and immoral.”
Anyone else? Let’s catalogue hairy-back so we don’t have to listen anymore.
Claiming an argument follows a template is a short-sighted way to analyze the thought process behind any argument. In fact, this method of analysis follows no logic whatsoever. Everyone has a writing style, which tends to reveal itself in the authors writings.
In order to analyze what is attempted to be conveyed by any given individual, it is most beneficial to determine at which level the individual is communicating. Before the level of communication can be established regarding any orator, it is beneficial to obtain an understanding of the brain circuit model of human development. Once the understanding of the brain circuit model is grasped, it becomes easy to analyze both the individual person and why the individual communicates at any particular level. The level of communication also becomes readily apparent.
The following is a brief description of each circuit. Circuits 1-4 involve the normal personality of an individual, and is available to everyone. Circuits 5-8 are available only to those who put forth an effort to open them.
Circuit 1. Biosurvival. This circuit is functioning and intact at birth. The biosurvival circuit engages to preserve life when faced with danger. Dominance of this circuit overrides all other circuits.
Circuit 2. Ego. This circuit begins development at about the age of 2. The ego circuit places the individual at the center of the universe with an understanding that everyone else exists to serve them. Development of the circuit is recognized by the child using the words “me”, “mine”, “no”, etc. Dominance within the societal framework is controlled by this circuit. Incidently, the term ego in reference to this circuit has nothing to do with the Freudian concept of the ego.
Circuit 3. Rational Thinking. This circuit begins to develop at about the age of 3-4 and continues to develop until the age of 7-8. Logic, consequences of decisions, and figuring out “why” and “how” are all part of this circuit.
Circuit 4. Sexual Circuit. The development of the sexual circuit begins at about the age of 7-8. During development of this cycle, gender and sexual roles are formed. The learning of certain societal rules of order coincide with the development of this cycle.
Circuit 5. Enlightened Ego. This circuit is engaged by experiences involving ecstacy of any sort (intellectual, physical, emotional). These experiences could include religious experiences, intense orgasm, meditation, highly intellectual thinking, or intense involvement in music.
Circuit 6. Enlightened Instinct. This circuit involves faith and spiritual matters. In the Eastern society, this circuit is analogous to satori, and consequently one who as obtained satori has opened this circuit. Faith healing, prayer, and healing others occur at this level. People who can clearly see the answer to prayer have attained this level. Enlightened instinct also reveals true human nature.
Circuit 7. Enlightened Intelligence. This circuit, when opened, enables spiritual guidance. In other words, the person is guided by their spirit rather than the mind. One may consider this circuit to be a deep connection to others and with the universe around them. Zen masters, Yogis, and Tantrics often open this brain circuit.
Circuit 8. (Sorry, beyond the scope of my discussion here)
Brain circuits naturally open in order, ie., circuit 4 must be opened after circuits 1, 2, and 3. Communication paths exist between various brain circuits. If a circuit is opened out of order, the circuit and communication paths involving that circuit are damaged to some extent. If an individual is unable to communicate at any given level, the circuit is either not developed or the paths involving that circuit are damaged. Damaged circuits and communication paths can be repaired. This is quite simple to do once an understanding of the model is grasped.
If anyone wants further information on the brain circuit model and its relation to Tantric sex, PM me and I’ll give you the link. This approach to the subject would be more applicable to the interests of the members of this forum as opposed to an in-depth presentation at a neurological level. The link includes methods to open the circuits, in addition to repairing damaged circuits. Makes for interesting reading. If you hate me, don’t bother to ask for the link.
Within any given discussion in this folder, it becomes apparent the circuit level in which the orator is operating. Discussions within compatible circuit levels are productive. Discussions between individuals operating at different levels quickly become unproductive.
A discussion can occur at the biosurvival level. The biosurvival circuit, when engaged during a discussion, eventually becomes dominant unless placed in check by another circuit. If not placed in check, this will ultimately lead to a physical fight. While engagement of the biosurvival circuit is nearly impossible in discussions of written nature, one post in this folder comes pretty darn close. People who discuss matters at this level are potentially dangerous to society.
Those individuals operating at the level of brain circuit 2, the ego, claim to be always correct. Their viewpoint is, in their own mind, carved in stone, and are unable to understand any viewpoint other than their own. In other words, everyone opposed to their viewpoint is considered to be the enemy and therefore must be “put in their place”. At this level, the orator (if we can even use that term) resorts to childish methods to get their point across. Selective use and distortion of facts may also be evident at this level. Intentional word twisting is also a tool at this level. Anger is most often evident. Name-calling occurs at a serious level. The tools used when brain circuit 2 is engaged specifically target an individual rather than the subject matter discussed. Discussion between two ego-centered orators is analogous to a kindergarten fight over a toy. Discussion with individuals who operate at this level are fruitless.
When operating at the third level, intellectual thinking, the individual introduces logic and reasoning, supported by facts, into the discussion. The intellectual thinking of one individual challenged by intellectual thinking of another is highly productive, leading to learning and a deeper understanding of the subject matter by both individuals. Intellectual thinking, however, when challenged by the ego-dominant orator, results in, for lack of a better term, a pissing contest. When the pissing contest occurs, the ego-centered orator gets angry, and the intellectual based orator is laughing. What the ego-centered orator does not realize is that everyone who has opened brain circuit 5 and above can clearly see the blatant stupidity in the arguments of the egocentric individual.
Discussions can occur using the sexual circuit, brain circuit 4. These are usually seen outside this folder, and are mostly playful in nature.
For the purpose of this discussion, I shall group circuits 5-7 together. If an individual introduces ideas that have their origins in brain circuits 5-7, the ideas introduced cannot be understood by anyone who has not attained these levels. There are absolutely no exceptions to this. Any attempt to understand ideas introduced at this level by someone who has not opened the circuits is like trying to gain the experience of skydiving by reading a book. In many cases, the subject matter introduced at these levels may involve spiritual issues, ergo, not understandable to the individual operating at levels 1-4. When orators are discussing a matter at these advanced levels, a deeper understanding of the matter at hand is gained by all contributing. Disagreements at this level absolutely do not result in any type of personality conflict. In addition to enlightenment regarding the subject matter at hand, a deeper understanding and respect of the other individuals involved is often a product of the discussion.
An individual who has opened brain circuits 5-7 is in the unique position where they already know how certain arguments presented will be responded to by other individuals. This is an advanced form of eclectic thinking. This is most evident when these individuals are discussing anything with the individual who operates primarily from brain circuit 2, the ego. In some cases, the orator operating from ego is being “set up,” and is totally blind to this fact. In a way, this is quite humorous to those who see it.
In addition, the person operating within the realm of circuits 5-7 can pose questions or discuss matters in such a way as to obtain information in an indirect manner from an individual incapable of operating within that realm. In essence, answers to questions or discovering inner beliefs that were not specifically asked can be uncovered or obtained. While this may sound underhanded, it is not done with any evil intent. The person operating in the realm of circuits 5-7 does this purely with the intent of advancing the other individual.
It should be clear who is capable of discussion at any given level. Certain discussions occur at multiple levels. This is clear by examining the contributions to any specific discussion. Since this thread is about Fred, I shall add that Fred is clearly capable, based upon his post content, of discussing matters at the level of brain circuit 6 or above.
How an individual responds to this post is also evidence of what brain circuit level they are capable of and/or operating at
It's the (adj) (noun) fault for sleeping around with (noun) and not even having the sense to charge money for it. Putting (adj) working women out of a job.

At any other time I would agree with you, but the point is that hairy-back’s arguments are so diagnosable that you can map them. You missed the point. The reason I presented it this way was to pose the message in the context, not in what is said.

Interesting…at what circuit level is Hillary Clinton operating?

It is terrific that you are among us and offering this advice, Bobin. I would be interested in your assessment (Brain circuit level) for George Bush, Richard Cheney and Karl Rove. Are they at ego, or something far less? Indeed, are they at biosurvival, as I suspect, given that they are dead in the political water and destined to be indicted by the Rome Court. I await your anwser.

We can also do that with me I'll catalog me ....
If we are to look at _________ (subject matter in question) from the _________ (insert multi-syllabic advanced college word) perspective, it is quite evident that _________ (the opposite of what Cambridge is stating) is obvious to even the most casual observer. It is clear that evidence from _________ (quote research article) supports this position. Logical analysis cannot support __________ (insert Cambridge's postion here), therefore it must be dismissed under the grouds of __________ (insert fancy Latin term here).

Most every one who holds a political office orates from circuit level 2, Hillary included. There is probably intellectual thinking occuring in the background somewhere, but it is most likely suppressed because the last thing that is of interest to the public is the truth.
Any real intellectual thinking coming out of the political arena would typically come from advisors. Norman Schwarzkopf would be a classical example of one orating from the intellectual thinking circuit, and was quite an effective communicator at the intellectual level. He also had a great respect from the press, which is rare in today's society. Alan Greenspan is yet another example.
A polititian who orates from the intellectual thinking level would appear boring as compared to their flambuoyant counterpart orating through ego. This is why Ron Paul would never be president.
Logic, reasoning, and investigation of facts, however, are of utmost importance when a crime invoving a Polititian occurs. This is because no one can prosecute another person using arguments orated from the ego circuit alone.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is one who orates from ego and biosurvival. This makes him a dangerous person. There is no hint of orated intellectual thinking on the part of this man, even though he has an PhD in engineering.

George Bush ... well ... Carlos Mencia has a higher IQ than Bush. Bush, in my opinion, has been orating from fear, not confidence or intelligence. I believe you are correct, they are operating primarily from ego, but ego eventually degrades to biosurvival mode when under pressure If they were operating from an intellegence circiut, they would be solving problems, not creating them. For example, the US modus operandi when dealing with terrorism is analogous to hitting a bee hive with a baseball bat, and standing around to see what happens. Terrorism is a threat (regardless of whether it is real or perceived), so ego degrades to biosurvival, so the war (biosurvival) takes over.
Bush is basically the same category as Ahmadinejad. If Ahmadinejad lead the strongest nation on Earth, Ahmadinejad would be destroying the US. So, it comes down to the issue of military strength. Once Ahmadinejad gets a nuclear weapon, he will use it (ego again degrading to biosurvival). If you look at the words of both leaders, they follow the same patterm. There's just a different enemy. There is not much difference between the two leaders is my estimation.
One thing that I think we should look at is what is actually begin said, not how it is being said. Filter out all the emotion, filter out all the ego-driven retterick, and filter out all the inaccuries of fact, and, in the case of many politicians, words are spoken, but nothing is actually said. The discussions on this forum have more substance than the public discussions found in politics.

Leave poor sweet little Fred alone. I have found that there are actually (this is hard to write) times when he knows what he's writing about. I learned something over the weekend by one of his post. Of course I did my own checking of other sources and found he was correct.
