18784 - Interesting divergence
N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Athena Kehagias
Interesting divergence is expressed between verbality and actions, when one believes that there is no need to prove practically what he is actually saying. It is a syndrome adopted by every political opposition, and that becomes a habit that kills the thought.
All that matters is the knowledge that can resist authority, especially when that is arbitrary.
Politically, the problem is already featured in Plato’s Republic, while it is absent in Socrates dialogues. In other words, the elongation is not literal, and it did not follow the thought of the Master. So we must be careful when we hear policy statements, since there is rarely any feedback, in the notion of the cybernetics that frames the Wiener’s Machine.
Much is said and little is done, because there is inertia and inaction.
When the cafe of the people, becomes the people of the cafe, no work is produced.
Firstly, as those who don’t forget are rare, it appears that making statements has no cost.
Secondly, the statements are easier than actions.
Thirdly, the statements are constantly changing, because they are moves rather than actions.
It is therefore necessary to equip ourselves with knowledge, in order to withstand the arbitrariness of the rhetoric, through the maieutic, since only it can turn knowledge into action, because it is a vision that transcends the individual and passes through the collective, in order ‘touch Humanity.
