Always the marketplace of ideas. Always the good, the vile, the trenchant. The ugly, the dividable, the constant. The ill formed, the dense. Always the right to think …uncooked, overcooked, burnt out. Undeveloped, lacking in substance, fact or logical base. Slick, hateful. mundane. Self assured, self righteous. Grounded in the name of God and the angels.
Grand traditions of thought … right; the instigation of prickly combat, the plays for hypothesis,synthesis, thesis. Ideas flourish and blooms a thousand roses and food to feed millions. Knowledge: study, combat, brass knuckles, rolling in dirt. Good thought triumphs over bad, matched in the cauldron of public discourse. This is so.
The battle of the network thoughts can be a supreme battle…. a ratings winner… the best damned scripted reality show on all media all the time, on all social media all the time, on all thug actions all the time. Dream the dream. Open the floor to pure imagination, examination. Winners win. Losers lose. The vanquished get clobbered and virtue accedes as always to put up winners. Grand spectacle here. Grand spectacle there. Grand spectacle everywhere.
Allow for the wins of the neanderthal chest thumpers. Access to implementation of words and deeds is proof of God’s favor… the win closes off discussion…eliminates virtue in the demeaned rancid other…closes off rematch or challenge. The game is of but power and self protection. The game is not of the ideas of soft hearted dupes. Staunch honorable true believers think good thoughts, demand proper interpretations of all others. Never give a sucker an even break. Never give a challenger a voice. …. Democracy is not for the weak. Only for those who can game it…Here there and everywhere. Spring, summer or fall.
Behind the sacred god of gods, the freedom to be a rotten bastard can achieve many seedy ends. Dregs of losers get kicked around in the streets. The exchange of thought in the marketplace of ideas gives virtue to those who wish to shut down the marketplace.

Dominance Games: Thought in the marketplace of ideas
Always the marketplace of ideas. Always the good, the vile, the trenchant. The ugly, the dividable, the constant. The ill formed, the dense.
