Printed to the Screen War, huh, yeah What is it good for Absolutely nothing Uh-huh War, huh, yeah What is it good for Absolutely nothing Say it again, y'all
War, huh, good God What is it good for Absolutely nothing Listen to me
Ohhh, war, I despise Because it means destruction Of innocent lives
War means tears To thousands of mothers eyes When their sons go to fight And lose their lives
I said, war, huh Good God, y'all What is it good for Absolutely nothing Say it again
War, whoa, Lord What is it good for Absolutely nothing Listen to me
War, it ain't nothing But a heartbreaker War, friend only to the undertaker Ooooh, war It's an enemy to all mankind The point of war blows my mind War has caused unrest Within the younger generation Induction then destruction Who wants to die Aaaaah, war-huh Good God y'all What is it good for Absolutely nothing Say it, say it, say it War, huh What is it good for Absolutely nothing Listen to me
War, huh, yeah What is it good for Absolutely nothing Uh-huh War, huh, yeah What is it good for Absolutely nothing Say it again y'all War, huh, good God What is it good for Absolutely nothing Listen to me
War, it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker War, it's got one friend That's the undertaker Ooooh, war, has shattered Many a young mans dreams Made him disabled, bitter and mean Life is much to short and precious To spend fighting wars these days War can't give life It can only take it away
Ooooh, war, huh Good God y'all What is it good for Absolutely nothing Say it again
War, whoa, Lord What is it good for Absolutely nothing Listen to me
War, it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker War, friend only to the undertaker Peace, love and understanding Tell me, is there no place for them today They say we must fight to keep our freedom But Lord knows there's got to be a better way
Ooooooh, war, huh Good God y'all What is it good for You tell me Say it, say it, say it, say it
So, if war is anger-as-violence between nation states and tribes, what is crime? What is anger between friends? What is violence between husbands and wives and children? What is anger directed at your self?
Who benefits? Who loses? How do you eliminate anger between nation states and tribes? How do you manage anger between everyone else? How do you do anger without violence?
The correct answer is yes. It depends how you look at it. You think what you think because you see what you see. You see what you see depending on your operative information space.
Humans move through activity spaces. Activity space is information space plus physical space. Humans have a repertoire of information spaces. At moments of focus one emerges.
At moments of stress only one can be chosen. The manifested information space becomes a lens. At moments of peace different lenses are available. Using different lenses is how you get to "it depends".
Articulated information spaces capture more of messy reality. Logical articulated information spaces help predict the future. Brains transform logical narratives into logical lenses. Print is the easiest way to communicate logical narratives.
Or is it this? (thank you, CN)
Q. Which is true?
A) Money make the world go 'round
B) The world will keep on spinnin' with or without money
A. Both
- - -
And here's why:
The answer is relative to what you perceive (your information space)
What you perceive creates what you think.
Humans have a repertoire of information spaces.
Focus = choosing to perceive a single information space
Stress focus = being forced to perceive a single information space
Contemplation focus = being able to perceive multiple information spaces
Contemplation focus is how we arrive at relativity ("it depends").
Diagrams and narratives of an information space (what you perceive) capture one (messy) reality.
Diagrams and narratives of multiple information spaces capture relativity.
Diagrams and narratives of information spaces help predict the future.
Diagrams and narratives create focus.
Print is the best way to capture diagrams and narratives, and therefore, the best way to create focus.
I say that on the most general level, money is a conceptual construct and sometimes a designed artifact that signals the exchanges and creates strings between activity spaces. How that plays out in the space/time of the real world depends. Huh?
