The Editor doesn’t moderate this blog, 3 volunteers do, they are very lenient to provide you a free speech space but if it’s just deranged abuse or putting words in bloggers mouths to have a pointless argument, we don’t bother publishing.
All in all, TDB gives punters a very, very, very wide space to comment in but we won’t bother with out right lies or gleeful malice. We leave that to the Herald comment section.
EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist abuse, homophobic abuse, racist abuse, anti-muslim abuse, transphobic abuse, Chemtrails, 9/11 truthers, Qanon lunacy, climate deniers, anti-fluoride fanatics, anti-vaxxer lunatics, 5G conspiracy theories, the virus is a bioweapon, some weird Bullshit about the UN taking over the world and ANYONE that links to fucking infowar.
I’m registering analogies in my constant reading. I think we need to use them a lot as we don’t see the present meaning of what ‘s before us, and then cannot understand how that will evolve in the future, and see in the past where the tendency started. I have just read an essay of Turing’s life and find that it is considered that his pre-WW2 findings came to be the fount of computers and the net. U think so but have to read again for sure. Just a thought, that WW2 was the end of an old era, as too many awful things happened in it and by the end all values were set aside by all sides involved, Holocaust, Atom Bomb, awful torture and unrestrained experimentation on helpless prisoners, etc…
So analogies could help brutalised minds turn and view the world from different angles, as at present we’re saturated with moving pictures and games, competitions or distressing events , on devices; could be called ‘petards’ by which we are hoist!
At present Terry Pratchett writing in Hogfather, and I’ll continue to put up some quip, or apt thought, as Terry had many. This one on the Guild of Assassins which society runs as a useful profession. (One could think of USA and UK sending young boys away from home to special private schools and USA is I think quite strong on military academies; I think Trump was sent to one. The Mafia occurs as possibly similar.)
The problem was that the Guild took young boys and gave them a splendid education and incidentally taught them how to kill, cleanly and dispassionately, for money and for the good of society, or at least that part of society that had money, and what other kind of society was there? /sarc. Please Note this is fictional.
Just to be sure the word analogy is understood?
Analogy is a comparison or correspondence between two things (or two groups of things) because of a third element that they are considered to share. Logically, it is an inference or an argument from one particular to another particular, as opposed to deduction, induction, and abduction.
