Hi stephen.... Why are you using such a coarse grained and low dimensional model of political speciation?
Speciation.... that's the key word.....fits in with Ockham's theory of "nominalist" language quite well.... it should, he sort of thought it up.....Levels of "intention" Ockham calls them... First Intention.... the direct Concept ( senses-on) observation of the singular Reference Thing..... Second intention... the abstract Concept ruminations (mental thoughts) of a grouping or class of "compared"similar but separate prior experiences (in memory) of Reference Things.....Biologically, speciation it has been refined and explained http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speciation The "species" is at the bottom of a whole hierarchy of taxonomic rank.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Species This is the "result" of Ockham's " nominalist distinction, above.... the same process, although not as "scientifically rigorous" in its definitions, applies to all sorts of "things" in all sorts of fields of thought or experience..... To get to your point.... think of my political "thematic square".... from my prior post.... to be at one of the Higher "political taxonomic ranks".....the ubiquitous "they" haven't established a "defined" standard "ranking in politics or political science, yet......... but it is there..... Anyway,.... would you like to establish a different "order" from my own at any political taxonomic level whatsoever? By all means.... suggest away......HAR On Thursday, March 21, 2013 6:26:01 PM UTC-4, stephenk wrote: > > Hi Nom, > > Why are you using such a coarse grained and low dimensional model of > political speciation? > > On 3/21/2013 2:38 PM, nominal9 wrote: > > Democracy = One Person, One Vote. > Totalitarianism = One Person, All the Votes. > > Socialism = One Person, One Dollar. > Capitalism = One Person, All the Dollars. > > http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_of_opposition > > > Democratic / Socialism...........Totalitarian / Capitalism > > Democratic / Capitalism..........Totalitarian / Socialism > > Where do you stand, Lonnie...
