Communication & Understanding

Shared State Law of Communication

1. Communication

2. Understanding

3. Agreement

4. Participation

Relationship is an approaching, and how we communicate is how we approach Relationship.  Our Actions and our Words are informed by our Thoughts, and our Gestalt or Worldview (Soul) informs that.  Why does communication Exist?  How does communication create Value?  The Reasonable Man uses Socratic Dialogue, Hegelian Dialectic, & Grice’s Maxims.  When a person deviates from Rational Dialogue it creates an Implicature which leaks clues not only to their World View but how they are in Relationship with the world and with Relationship itself. 

If a person is Communicating but not to be Understood, that isn’t Rational.  That is a corruption of Communication.  The person doing so wants the benefits of Relationship but they aren’t open to an Equal or Honest Relationship.  Why would a person want to be in Relationship but not be Known, as they are, in their suchness?  Is the person obfuscating, bifurcating, conflating, or dissembling?  This is called Strategic Communication, they are attempting to appear Reasonable without actually being so.  If you don’t know what the Logical Fallacies or the Cognitive Biases are you don’t know if you are making them and you also don’t know if someone else is using them. 

A psychopath won’t lie outright if they don’t have to.  A psychopath will deviate from Rational Dialogue without provocation.  Psychopaths conceal their true self and agenda and reveal themselves falsely.  If a person becomes Strategic in conversation or Relationship and you remain in the conversation or Relationship with them you are granting them Equity as a Reasonable Person. 

Does the Person back into the conversation with leading questions?  Do they hijack the conversation by repeating themselves ad nauseam and talking over you?  Do they refuse to examine your arguments?  Are they only looking at evidence that supports their conclusion?  Do they become emotional?  If an appeal to emotion is a logical fallacy, isn’t a Histrionic outburst also an appeal to emotion?

The Sum of their Actions have to take them in the direction of doing their will.  Regardless of what they say they are actually doing they have to do their will, otherwise, what is the point?  If your will isn’t rational then you have to prevaricate in order to make it appear rational or suggest that you aren’t actually doing what you are doing.  Throughout the course of a Relationship or Conversation the person will leak clues to their God or the Highest Form of their Good.  This is the Embodiment of their Virtues.  The Antithesis of the HFG is the Lowest Form of their Bad, and this is the Devil of their Good. 

Whether you like it or not, the Rational Man, the Philosopher King, can peer into the Soul of Man and know you, as you are, in your suchness.
