Kyroot to :04. Thermodynamics: energy conversion to work; imbalance of energy reservoirs—high/low; ‘loss’ to entropy of some portion of the energy of the whole conversion. Mechanical energy: high to low; thermodynamic energy: hot to cold; electrical energy: negative to positive. The working of human intellect too is an energy conversion system subject to the laws of thermodynamics: no energy conversion ever “breaks even”. Consider then, in a closed-system, where can intelligence come from? How can anybody learn anything? In any conversion some heat is not used, becomes unavailable (entropy) according to equation: T2-T1/T2. The ratio of conversion can never equal 100% (and it can equal ‘0’).
People cannot be internally balanced or no energy would flow. Thus everyone feels they should “do better”; a partnership imbalance is necessary. Thus people are naturally drawn to the higher, smarter, greater potential level. But in any/every conversion nothing can be completely learned/transferred; no system ever “breaks even”, while humans always believe otherwise as demonstrated by their continual attempts to “do better”. The basis of talk is entropy; all excuses, all after-the-fact talk = the amount of energy which becomes unavailable. Thus silence is the unnatural use of entropy which the RR/Real Revolutionist can utilize.
In politics the best understood, efficient, desired form of government is a monarchy: a known, single, undisputed dominant figure. But a real leader would be one who the people are incapable of understanding how he thinks…his methods of rule. A Real leader would be flexible—the antithesis of the monarchy everyone desires to be internally. An ordinary monarchy must be everything but flexible or it would not be predictable, would not be sensed as authoritative, dominant to the people ruled.

And Kyroot Said…
Ofttimes a Revolutionist has the opportunity, if not the
inclination, to be someone just playing himself.
***
It does seem difficult for ordinary people NOT to get
alarmed at the facts.
***
You’ll never get anywhere without encountering crossroads
and forks.
***
Generally speaking, if you look right at it, you won’t see
it.
***
During a disagreement one guy demanded of another, (or maybe
it was of himself), “Who died and left YOU in charge?” and came
the response, “I did.”
***
A personal query the Revolutionist should keep before him,
“What is equal to the correct?”
***
He who comes in last is a mirage. I.e., there IS no “last.”
***
Hell is filled with other people’s garbage.
***
There is a man who lives on a raft near Madagascar who says
he, “Knows what it all means… insofar,” he adds, “as it means
ANYthing.”
***
Remember, regardless of the various names that pop up from
time to time, in all political affairs, (and in your own internal
ones), there are only TWO partisan groups: Those in power and
those not. You may also ignore all of the variously named
political ideologies for they are all the same, with the sole
goal of “get the power.” Isn’t it surprising how simple things
are once you get the right grip on the monkey?
***
A Revolutionist once realized and noted to no one in
particular, besides his own ole rusty self the following,
(spelled with three “I’s”): What you really have is whatever is
left after you have forgotten, or lost all you THOUGHT you had.
***
That one ole City Philosopher I sometimes particularly
enjoy, recently proclaimed, “There are two ways of looking at
everything: this way, and some other way.”
***
In the City, panaceas don’t cure anything.
***
Here’s a “what-if” for you heavy duty troopers: What if
brain molecules could speak directly, without having to go
through the middle-man stage of the tongue?
***
If EVERY one’s gonna dance, you don’t gotta wax the bottoms
of YOUR shoes.
***
Another difference you might care to note ‘tween us-&-them:
In the City, when THEY lie, they gotta believe otherwise.
***
I recently heard this term over in the in-town sector,
“compulsive behavior.” Are those City folks gonna beat repeated
redundancy to death, or what!
***
All prayers for help are camouflaged cries for more
intelligence.
***
If you believe in one thing you’ll believe in two… hell,
if you believe in one thing, you GOTTA believe in two.
***
If you reveal a little, you’ve revealed too much.
