Main entry

  1. Finite packaging facilitates gaining attention -> pokémon. scp reports. vines. video essays. books. perhaps even propositions. I hope chopping all philosophy into atomic propositions is the thing that works to get people actually thinking.
  2. Finite packaging facilitates gaining attention -> this probably makes as much sense to be violet

  1. Propositions appeal to Liberal-republicans / Proposition-based logic appeals to Liberal-republicans / Propositional logic is appealing to center-Liberals — anarchists and staunch schizoanalysts excepted -> something I hope is true, although I don't know for sure that it's true. some of the reasoning of this ontology project is that I hope, in theory, that non-binary proposition-based logic could be enough to pick off a couple center-Liberal social-democrats. I don't expect the impact of that to be very big. so more than that I see this as a project for Marxists and allies which is uniquely structured to be able to survive the pressures of Liberal-republicanism and come out the other end having started with a form that looks conventional to Liberal-republicanism and ended with a form that has the feel that Marxism and any associated historical events were obvious, the "last thursdayism" of philosophy where the way things are always existed even though it clearly didn't.
  2. Bibles are appealing because they number propositions / Biblical verses and proverbs are just numbered propositions / The way to create a "Communist bible" that people far and wide can easily reference has little to do with compilation into a book and is simply to take a lot of propositions and number them / Science can learn from the bible by numbering propositions in order to keep track of standing versus rejected hypotheses

In fandoms

  1. Fans don't like hour-long theories because they don't have enough spaces for choices and thus they aren't Freedom; single propositions are more agreeable because it is easier to free-associate onto one or the other and take or leave them -> I have never heard an anarchist say this out loud, but I do know the recurring patterns I see written all over everything.
    this.... probably partly explains the appeal of Pokémon. the potential of free association around individual Pokémon stages and the (partial) lack of a single narrative.
