Dominance Games: The logical structure of idea is an academic's fantasy.

So what?  Important metrics of behavior are all gone.  Reason is a shadow … it is now reported.  It is unused and misused anyway.  Interviewers are at the mercy of the interviewee most of the time as the power metric favors the latter when anything of worth is mentioned.  All set ups all the time.  All position jockeying all the time.  Politics is power and the business of politics is power and the business of the business of politics is power.  The back bites are always huge.

Civilized history.  Trials of insouciant thought and defining principle.  The backbone of  daunting things.  The regal.  The royal.  The sublime.   Fairness.  Temperate temperance.   Demeanor.   Cool.  Tolerance.  Tradition.  The  sullen hammer.  The respect.  The fear.  The taut and tight.   Tis fear all about.

The tacky hammers.  The gods of Olympus .  The want of a hammer.  The hammers of good avocation.    Political hammers.  The whip hand, unnerving posture and the act of being better than their lessers grinding hands  creating fairy tales.

Balance power, rough justice, principle in the winds.  In the court of courts tough bastards know rough justice, damned fools know watching, who really thinks any plays are about problems when the jokers can’t even define , label, peruse or sniff out problems or agree on a common workable definition.  The logical structure of idea is an academics fantasy.  Better just shoot and kill.
