0404 Chapter six concerns the marriage between globalist corporations and wokeism.

Was it an arranged marriage?

0405 As it turns out, marriage is evolutionarily ancient.  It evolves as an adaptation in the Lebenswelt that we evolved in.  In our current Lebenswelt, which is not the Lebenswelt that we evolved in, marriage involves individuals in community_Acoming into organization_B under the auspices of society_C.

0406 In the series, How To Define the Word “Religion” and Related Primers (by Razie Mah, available at smashwords and other e-book venues), the family is discussed in three of the ten primers.  In The First Primer on the Organization Tier, the family is an example of the entire organization_B tier.  In The Second Primer on the Organization Tier, the family serves as an example of a corporation_aB, occupying the content_a level of the organization_B tier.  In A Primer on the Family, the family embodies an institution_3aC, occupying the slot for normal-context₃ on the content_a-level of the society_C tier.

0407 Given these promotions, I picture below two of the tiers as interscopes.  In general, the three levels of an interscope are content_a, situation_b and perspective_c.  For each tier, each level gets its own label.

0408 Woke-ism is an institution_3aC, corresponding to an infra-sovereign religion, that calls upon sovereign power_3aC in order to enforce its organizational objectives_2aC.  Woke-ism fuses order_1bC and righteousness_1aC, and considers the fusion as opportunity_1c, in regards to the post-truth condition.

Righteousness_1aC put the organization_B tier into perspective.

0409 Globalist corporations, as corporations, belong to the content_a level of the organization_B tier.  These corporations_aBseek to manipulate business conditions in their favor through machinations on the society_C tier.  In particular, they want sovereign power_3bC to assist in manipulating market exchange_bB and protecting shareholder… or is it?.. stakeholder investment_cB.

0410 What about the “family” that comes into existence when globalist corporations host an ideology that hybridizes capitalism and socialism, relies on expertise, and expects scrappy players not to see that “success_2c” no longer means “getting ahead_2a” and instead means “the promulgation of a global-corporate empirio-normative judgment_2c“.

Well, it looks more or less like the following.

0411 Woke-ism is a international sovereign religion.  Woke-ism is an infrasovereign religion that has successfully embedded itself within the organs of sovereign power in different jurisdictions.  The reason that woke-ism works comes from the convenience that the scientismist one_3aC recognizes no relational object_2cC capable of transcending the positivist intellect.  The positivist intellect has a rule.  Metaphysics is not allowed.

But, metaphysics is required in order to call all things into relation_1cC on the suprasovereign level.

0412 Globalist corporations are concerned about sustainability_cB, or long-term profitability within diverse jurisdictions_cB.  Capital will flow towards the most “friendly” jurisdictions.  International exchanges_bB foster supply chains.  Supplies are manufactured_aB in a variety of jurisdictions.  Global corporations use capital flows in order to maximize profits from their supply chains.

Experts in capitalism are required to conduct business in all aspects of the organization tier, from assessment_cB to supply chains_bB to human resources_aB. In chapter seven, Ramaswamy shows how experts in capitalism may use experts in socialism in order to distract from exploitation and other criminal behaviors.  In chapter six, Ramaswamy suggests that experts in socialism may co-opt experts in capitalism.

0413 Ramaswamy tells a story about value.

Here is my variation.

Around 1970, economist Milton Friedman proclaims that the social purpose of a corporation is to pursue profit.  Profits maximize value to the shareholders.

A few years later, the infamous expert Klaus Schwab writes “The Davos Manifesto” calling for a code of ethics for all business leaders.  There is more to exchange_bB than customers and products.  One must also consider the investors who are sensitive to their social responsibilities.  These investors call for “ethical capitalism”.

0414 This butting of heads occurs right in the middle of the Third Battle of the Enlightenment Gods: The Cold War among Materialist Ideologies (1945-1989).  Obviously, Friedman’s ideology is capitalism.  Klaus Schwab’s ideology is a variation of socialism.  The genius of Schwab’s formulation?  His version of socialism can hybridize with Friedman’s version of capitalism in order to produce an intersection called, “stakeholder capitalism”.

Stakeholder capitalism requires two styles of expertise.  The first style consists of capitalists who regard their “social responsibility” as turning a profit.  The second style consists of socialists who see value in nudging investor’s money towards righteousness.  The first style focuses on transactional or financial value_2H.  The second style promotes transcendental or social value_2V.

0415 The intersection of capitalist and socialist expertise constitutes a single actuality, labeled “value_2b“.  Value_2b stands at the heart of the post-truth interscope.

Ah, the psychometric sciences_2b sound like an arranged marriage between two old ideological rivals, who finally discover that they have ‘something’ in common, thanks to the empirio-normative judgment_2c, in the service of the one of scientism_3c.

0416 Chapter five discusses one particular scientismist_3c arranged marriage between capitalism and socialism_2b.

0417 Perhaps, this is a good time to review where the psychometric sciences appear in the interscope for the post-truth condition.

0418 The psychometric sciences_2b express the operations of a suite of disciplines ranging from economics (corresponding to capitalist expertise) to social work (corresponding socialist expertise).  Associated degrees include accounting and administration, journalism and public relations, marketing and education, and so on.

0419 The psychometric sciences_2b are contextualized by specialized languages within each discipline_3b, often at variance with one another, so that translating from, say, marketing to administration is not an easy task.  Nevertheless, all specialized languages are formatted in the style of science.  Also, all ultimately apply to a single actuality, called “value_2b“.

Specialized languages_3b are necessary to formalize knowledge_1b.  Knowledge basically takes what people say_2a and turns it_2a into observations and measurements_1b that have the potential_1b of being used as data for psychometric models_2b. Psychometric models_2b arrive at value_2b, as the intersection of transactional value_2H and transcendental value_2V, roughly corresponding to financial exhange_2H and organizational objective_2V.

0420 The psychometric sciences wrestle with two intersecting nested forms.

Here is a diagram.

0421 On the horizontal axis, the normal context of market_3H brings the actuality of transactional value_2H (financial exchange_2H) into relation with the potential of price_1H.

On the vertical axis, the normal context of order_3V brings the actuality of transcendental value_2V (social value_2V or object^org_2V) into relation with the potential of righteousness_1V.

Value_2b is the single actuality composed of transactional value_2H and transcendental value_2V.

The contradictions inherent in value_2b can never be resolved, because that is the nature of intersections.

0422 What about the single actuality that Ramaswamy discusses in chapter five?

It is labeled “ESG”.

Environment.  Social.  Governance.

0423 Allow me to offer a humorous substitute: Social, Environment and X.

“S” stands for “social”, and refers to stakeholders interested in accommodating righteousness at the expense of um… the market.

“E” stands for “environment”, and refers to the elevated prices demanded by stakeholders interested in producing environmental products and services than must be mandated by government fiat on the basis of um… righteousness.

“G” stands for “governance”, which means substantial infiltration of corporations by experts certified in the modeling of transactional and transcendental values.  But, that letter changes to “X” as “the thing that Twitter must never become”.

0424 Here is a picture of the mystery of S.E.X.

0425 Before S.E.X., there is S.E.G., the single actuality_2b endorsing Twitter’s censorship… or shadow banning… or deplatforming of opponents of woke-ism on the basis of transcendental values_2V (involving the normal context of order_3Vand the potential of righteousness_1V).  These socialist policies weigh down Twitter’s transactional value_2V (involving the normal context of market_3H and the potential of price_1H) and attract the curiosity of capitalist investors, who might have an inclination to turn Twitter into the thing that it must never become.

Yes, the curiosity smells like Musk.

0426 This personification of curiosity ends up purchasing Twitter and changing its name to “X”, which is precisely what Twitter must never become, because that turns the acronym, S.E.G. into S.E.X., where X stands for a lack of governance by woke experts, rather than what everyone thinks that “X” might stand for but are unwilling to say.  

As such, “X” stands for an eclipse of observations_1b of the phenomena of what people say_2a and a crucial failure of the psychometric sciences_2b.  Experts can observe and measure phenomena of what people say about S.E.G.  But, no one is able to talk about S.E.X. in a way that that does not objectify what they think.   It seems that when one talks about S.E.X., objectification cannot be avoided.  Ask Jacques Lacan.

0427 What one thinks [cannot be objectified as] what one is willing to say_2a follows the logic of science.  What one thinksis like a noumenon.  What one is willing to say may be regarded as its phenomena.  And, according to the modern Positivist’s judgment, a noumenon [cannot be objectified as] its phenomena.

The exception is when a model is placed over the noumenon, so that one can no longer recognize the noumenon as the thing itself.  Then, the model… er… apparent noumenon [can be objectified as] its phenomena.

Unfortunately, no one wants to touch that objectification when it comes to S.E.X.

At least, not without gloves.

0428 This explains the disconnect between the expert models_2b and what people think_2b when it comes to S.E.X.

For the psychometric sciences, S.E.X. becomes possible when a surplus of righteousness produces a deficit in price.

For what most people think, S.E.X. becomes readily available when a deficit in righteousness produces a deficit in price.

0429 Chapter four concerns the rise of experts, otherwise known as “the managerial class”.

As early as 1941, James Burnham warns against the political implications of a rising managerial class.  This managerial class knows everything about value_2b.  Indeed, they define value_2b.

How well do they succeed?

Members of the class to move laterally among leadership of diverse institutions.

There is always a job to move to.

0430 The managerial class_3b distinguishes social phenomena_2a from what people say_2a.

The managerial class develops the disciplinary languages_3b of the psychometric sciences_2b and assists in making empirio-normative judgments_3c actionable.  Actionable empirio-normative judgments_2c define success_2c.

0431 With that said, let me recall the four battles of the enlightenment gods.

From this timeline, one can see that the current battle is brewing for over 50 years before the field clears, and the managerial class (in 1989) manifests as a force to be reckoned.

0432 How so? 

The so-called Cold War labels a battle between capitalist and socialist ideologies.  Each ideology proclaims its own empirio-schematic judgments… or should I say?… empirio-normative judgments.

0433 Is it any coincidence that the Berlin Wall falls when a former-head of the CIA serves as president of the USA?

Surely, an agency interested in centralizing intelligence would prefer that both the capitalist and socialist traditions format themselves in the style of empirio-schematics.  Scientific discourse allows the managerial class to address financial as well as political issues.  The managerial class figures out ways to co-opt ideologies as diverse as laissez faire and communism.  They can all be discussed in the style of scientific discourse.

0434 The fact that the United States elected a president that was a former head of the CIA is testimony that voting citizensare not aware that the next war will be about domination, by a sovereign_3bC religion_3aC whose disparate factions are united in the expectation that experts_3b will situate the citizens_3a,1a.  In 1989, scrappy players have no idea of the implications of the post-truth condition.

0435  After capitalist expertise and socialist expertise become stylistically scientific (as to mimic the empirio-schematic nested form), they both enter into the slot for actuality_2b on the expert level.

0436 But, that is not all.

The empirio-schematic nested form is only one variation of the situation level for the interscope for the post-truth condition.

The original post-truth condition looks like this.

0437 Does the managerial class know what it’s doing?

I wonder.

0438 The above interscope may explain why the managerial class rises in the first place.

It starts with education.

0439 The relativist one_3c is above all jurisdictions.  For education, that means all academic disciplines.

From what I already know, the perspective level of the post-truth interscope somehow fuses with the content-level of the society tier.  This means that when someone enters an approved educational institution_3b and earns a credential_2bdocumenting their mastery of formalized knowledge_1b, then some institution_3aC within the umbrella of sovereign power_3bC has provided an opportunity_1c (which coincides with righteousness_1aC) for success_2c (which corresponds to an organizational objective_2aC, beholden to capitalist and to socialist values_2b).

0440 But, that is not enough.

The relativist one_3c needs all academic disciplines to have something in common.  This is where the style of science comes in.  If the relevant academic disciplines have a common, scientific style, then the relativist one_3c can relabel as the one of scientism_3c.  This allows psychometric academic disciplines to proliferate under the umbrella of the scientismist one_3c.

Notably, academic fields such as humanism, the arts, theology, philosophy, rhetoric, history and so on, who have difficulties adopting an empirio-schematic denkstyle, have not flourished for the past fifty years.

0441 Overall, state education (1) offers organizational objectives_2aC that demand sovereign power_2bC in order to be implemented and (2) presents all psychometric sciences as officially “not religious”, because metaphysics is not allowed in the discourse of each discipline.

Education is key to the rise of the managerial class.

0442 So what really buried the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics?

Is it the fact that, for the capitalist USA, success_2a for the scrappy player (getting ahead) correlates to success_2c for the relativist one (an actionable judgment)?

0443 Once the USSR falls, an affirmative answer unravels as two opposing regimes of expertise begin to intermingle and the relativist one_3c gives way to the scientismist one_3c.

Here is a picture of education and the psychometric sciences that meld more and more objectively after the fall of the Berlin Wall, along with a picture of the increasingly crappy player level.

0444 Universities become multiversities.

Specialization abounds.

For example, the discipline of Anthropology differentiates into physical, archaeological, social, and cultural sub-disciplines.  Each publishes its own journals.

Each is its own “science”.

0445 And, speaking of science, the psychometric sciences look at people as generators of social phenomena.  Only a selection of what people are willing to say_2a registers as phenomena_2a that can be observed and measured_1b.

0446 Why?

How does one observe and measure metaphysical beings and statements about metaphysical beings?

0447 Well, its a problem.

Only those statements_1b useful for modeling_2b register, because the empirio-schematic judgment corresponds to what ought to be, in the Positivist’s judgment.

Furthermore, the positivist intellect is the relation in the Positivist’s judgment and the positivist intellect has a rule saying, “No metaphysics.”

Here is a picture of the Positivist’s judgment.

0448 Okay, what is for the Positivist’s judgment is a dyad.  A noumenon [cannot be objectified as] its phenomena.

Does that look like the structure of the actuality_2a on the scrappy player level?

Coincidence?

0449 Of course, Ramaswamy does not formulate the rise of the managerial class as a process where humans are turned into things that are subject matter for the psychometric sciences.

Instead, he proposes a policy option that would please someone like Betsy Devos, whose book is examined in Razie Mah’s blog for June 1 through 9, 2022.  The title of the blog is Looking at Betsy Devos’s Book (2022) “Hostages No More”.

Here is how I diagram the content and situation levels of this sensible option.

Otherwise, admit it.

No student is going to get a good grade if he don’t tell the teacher what the teacher wants him to say as if that is what he be thinking.

0450 Chapter three asks, “What is the purpose of a corporation?”

Plus, when does a corporation become an institution?

I know the answer to the latter question.

A corporation_aB becomes an institution_aC when it tries to put itself into perspective.  A corporation_aB has three levels: management_caB, production_baB and service_aaB.  An institution_3aC has a mission-statement and a justification detailing the purposes_2aC of the corporation.  An institution also puts other corporations into perspective.

0451 At the risk of saying too much, I would like to wander into the territory of human evolution, in order to show that the distinction between corporation and institution is foundational.

Consider Razie Mah’s blogs for January through March, 2024, which covers some of the material in parts one and two of Comments on Michael Tomesello’s Arc of Inquiry (1999-2019) (by Razie Mah, available for purchase at smashwords and other e-book venues).

0452 Early on, in the Lebenswelt that we evolved in, our hominin ancestors adapt to Pliocene, then Pleistocene conditions, of mixed forest and savannah, by becoming bipedal.  Bipedalism means that bands walk from one location of rich seasonal resources to another.  Tomasello, a professor in evolutionary anthropology, claims that bipedalism potentiates a behavioral adaptation that he calls, “obligatory collaborative foraging”.

In short, long before the Homo genus appears in the fossil record, australopithecines are working in teams, communicating to one another with pantomime and pointing, and gathering more food than the team can eat in order to return to the band and share with friends and family.  Each way of gathering or processing or storing food has its own team.

0453 No wonder the hominin brain expands over the course of time.  Generation after generation, successful teams select for individuals capable of performing team-tasks and belonging to the team.  Each team selects for adaptations that increase productivity as well as getting along and having fun.  Such adaptations require neural networks that are primed to develop in response to exposure to team activities.  The more successful teams, the bigger the hominin brain becomes.

0454 Today, in our current Lebenswelt, business start-ups are modern equivalents to teams.  The goals are clear and specific, the tasks are both technical and collaborative.  Team behaviors are readily diagrammed as sensible constructions, interscopes consisting in content and situation levels.  Teams work to get sensible things done.

0455 Ramaswamy creates a start-up that grows into a corporation.  He notes that the character of the institution changes.  Typically, a team consists of 15 members and a community incorporates 150 members.  That means that a community is just about a team of teams.

A community can flourish on sensible construction, to a certain extent.  But, one may ask, “How do diverse teams work together as a ‘team’, when each team has a different way of foraging, complete with its own version of hand talk, and its own sense of humor?”  Oops, I just slipped back into the Lebenswelt that we evolved in.

0456 But, the question still stands.  A corporation is like a team of teams with each team devoted to a special function, ranging from research on biomolecular pathways in endometrial cells to keeping the facilities clean.  Sensible construction goes only so far.  The executive team with the vision for the start-up must engage in social construction.  Social construction transcends sensible construction.  Indeed, social construction creates the cognitive stage for the team of teams, the corporation.

0457 So, I ask, “Does the corporation contextualize itself as a team of teams using social construction?”

I answer myself, saying, “No, the moment that the team of teams puts itself into perspective, it must be labeled as an institution.  The institution_3aC‘s organizational objectives_2aC are social constructions_2aC.  And, these social constructions_2aC are built on declarations of righteousness_1aC.

0458 Teams flourish on sensible construction.  Corporations are teams of teams that rely on sensible construction, but sensible construction goes only so far, because corporations are also communities.  The moment that a start-up_aB grows into a community, it_aB becomes an institution_3aC, engaging in the social construction of organizational objectives_2aC that actualize the potential of righteousness_1aC.

0459 I summarize with the following diagram.

0460  This figure portrays a subtle point of contention behind Ramaswamy’s story about how sovereign legislation creates the legal space for limited-liability corporations.

Note the header.

The category-based nested form of three tiers is not differentiated in the Lebenswelt that we evolved in.  As noted in The Human Niche, our ancestors evolve in social circles within a group that slowly increases in size over time.  The waystations are family (5), intimate friends (5), teams (15), bands (50), community (150) and the resonances are mega-band (500) and tribe (1500).

0461 The individual cannot survive alone.

Two social circles play key roles and serve as sites for adaptations.

Teams organize in sensible ways.  Proto-linguistic hand talk evolves in the milieu of teams.  According to Tomasello, teams promote the evolution of second-person morality.  I must care about other members of my team.  We must be productive.  We ought to have fun.

Communities institute themselves in social ways.  Fully linguistic hand talk evolves after the domestication of fire, when teams become numerous, due to cooking and a new social venue that encourages talking outside of teams.  Yes, I am talking about dinner.

Once hand talk is fully linguistic, hominins can make counter-intuitive, yet intrinsically sensible, statements.  One can grammatically describe the moon man whose manual-brachial word gestures are seen in the flight of birds at night as well as the winds blowing across mountains.  What is the moon man asking us to do?

Social construction is the meaning underlying the word, “religion”.

0462 Ramaswamy tells the story of the limited liability corporation in modern (or soon to be modern) Western civilization.

The LLC is like the team.  Think sensible construction.

Then, the LLC is like a community.  Think social construction.

0463 Of course, this legal fiction finds itself in a world where society_C, organization_B and individual in community_A are explicitly differentiated.  Our current Lebenswelt is not the same as the Lebenswelt that we evolved in.  So, the history of anything is complicated.  Ramaswamy paints a portrait of historical legal innovations.  My examination looks at the fabric of his canvas.

0464 But, I suspect that is not what the reader is thinking about.

The reader must be asking, “What about this moon man business?”

0465 Here is a picture.

0466 Everyone before the first singularity knows stories about the moon man.

[POINT to moon][Pantomime MAN]

0467 Today, the same type of mysterious persona as the moon man speaks of winds moving across political and economic grids.

Yes, I am talking about the Forum for Universal Contemporary Knowledge and Unified Practices.

0468 Yes, I am talking about the “stakeholder”.

The stakeholder (SV_i) stands for the Forum’s actualities [manifesting as] advisory decrees (SO_i) concerning future global challenges such as the constellation of the fourth industrial revolution (SI_i).

0469 What is happening_3a?

The fourth industrial revolution.

What is the ‘something’ that resides in the potential_1a underlying the fourth industrial revolution_3a?

Future global challenges_1a!

0470 This is not the world that Ramaswamy grows up in.  And yet, it is.

The Fourth Battle of the Enlightenment Gods begins soon after Vivek is born.  The Forum has already transformed the very identity that Ramaswamy thinks he has.

What is that identity?

Ramaswamy is an individual.  And, individuals tell their own stories.

The individual_2c (SV_i) stands for the realness of what I think [manifesting as] what I say_2a (SO_i) in regard to the reader’s intellect_3a operating on the reader’s sense of reality_1a (SI_i).

0471 In chapter two, Ramaswamy tells how he became a capitalist.

To an expert_3b, capitalism_2b is all about markets_3H, value_2H and price_1H.

To the individual that is Vivek, capitalism_2b is about getting ahead_2a.  Capitalism is about creativity, fashioning new products that people want (and occasionally, need), manufacturing products safely and without too much in terms of third party effects, working on a team, coming together as a community and lots of work!  Plenty of things to do.  So, one must prioritize one’s time and efforts.

0472 Value for the capitalist is more than products that produce profits.

The corporation has a mission.

0473 I believe the Forum_3aC warned about this type of nonsense.

The “capitalism” of “stakeholder capitalism” is not the same as the “capitalism” that arises from individuals pursuing their self-interest.  Success_2c is not the same as “getting ahead_2a“.  Success_2c is finding a path towards all stakeholders getting ahead, especially the experts_3b who represent the… um… people who are not willing to say what they think.

The experts_3b represent the people who are not willing to say what they think, because if they thought what the experts would have them think, then they could easily say what needed to be recorded as phenomena_2a for the observations and measurments_1b required for expert psychometric formulations_2b.  Psychometric models of value_2b sustain opportunities_1cfor the one of scientism_3c to engage in empirio-normative judgments_2c, which constitutes “success_2c” by acting as a sign-vehicle (SV_i) for an interventional sign-relation.

0474 Once again, here is a picture of the post-truth interscope for the enlightenment god that seeks to dominate by signaling to all stakeholders, as the stakeholder of stakeholders_3aC, “The Forum’s normative judgment_2c (SV_i) stands for what I must think_2a [in order to have my thoughts objectified as] what I say_2a (SO_i).

0475 Individuals may regard this as lunacy.

But, here is where the money is.

0476 Chapter one is titled, “The Goldman Rule”.

At first, I thought, “He can’t be talking about a gold man.”

Or maybe, he refers to a god man.

0477 The title calls to mind some ancient civilization, who has a king, blessed by a god with a particular trait.  Everything that he touches turns to gold.  Such a story is easy to debunk as scientifically impossible.

But, one lesson, “He who has the gold makes the rules.”, is not so easy to refute, and leads to an awkward corollary, “He who makes the rules gets the gold.”

0478 The same type of circularity is on display at the heart of the psychometric sciences.

He who controls the financial exchanges_2H, makes the organizational objectives_2V.

He who makes the organizational objectives_2V, will get to control financial exchange_2H.

0479 By the way, have you heard about the value_2b of central-bank digital currency?

Just asking.

0480 Through the hybridization of capitalist and socialist expertise, reformatted into an image of empirio-schematic science, the market_3H can manifest the potential of righteousness_1V, not directly, but indirectly, through value_2b. Similarly, sovereign power can potentiate order_1V capable of nudging prices_1H, not directly, but indirectly, through value_2b.

That means that the capitalist gold man and the socialist god man find opportunity_1c in modeling values_2b that lead to actionable judgments_2c for the one of scientism_3c.

0481 Here is a picture of an empirio-normative judgment.

The specialized disciplinary languages of experts on capitalism and socialism (relation, thirdness) brings a normative narrative, exhibiting the intelligibility of value from the psychometric sciences (what ought to be, secondness), into relation with observations of a universality in what people say, corresponding to phenomena salient to the psychometric sciences (what is, firstness).

0482 Two crucial qualifiers are depicted in red.

The psychometric model, the normative narrative, and what ought to be need to exhibit intelligibility.  Since this element is imbued with secondness, it should be intelligible enough to enter the slot for actuality₂ when the actionable judgmentunfolds into a category-based nested form.  Intelligibility must seem real.

Observations and measurements of phenomena of what people say, corresponding to what is, need to seem universal,rather than biased, selective or conjured out of thin air.  No scientist would dare say, “I made up the phenomena that I observed and measured.”  Contemporary marketers and journalists take note.  You are experts in the psychometric sciences.  You cannot make up what people are saying in order to show that your models of value_2b are supported by data.

0483 For the scientismist one_3c, the empirio-normative judgment_2c offers the opportunity_1c to broadcast an interventional sign-vehicle (SV_i) to be received by a sign-interpretant consisting of the reason_3a,1a of people on the scrappy-player level (SI_i).

0484 The resulting interventional sign-object (SO_i) is what people think [that may or may not be objectified as] what people are willing to say.  Individuals say what they think.  Stakeholders say what they feel that they are being told to think.

0485 This brings me to the introduction of Ramaswamy’s book.

In the very first statement, Vivek Ramaswamy proclaims himself to be a traitor to his class.

What does this mean?

0486 Ramaswamy is an individual.  Individuals stand before God.

His class are stakeholders.  Stakeholders objectify the interventional sign-vehicles broadcast by the Forum for Universal Contemporary Knowledge and Unified Practices.  Stakeholders stand before the dominating deity of the Fourth Battle of the Enlightenment Gods and proclaim, “We submit!”
