Snobs and snob-nots (to be contd.)

"There's a lot of debate going on in the intellectual community regarding ***ism". How many times did you come across this snobbishly snobbish remark as of this date ? ***ism is for ***ism's sake. Nobody really cares what it has to do in real life. There was a funny Hallmark card, I recieved this New Year, which had one of this adages, "You need to be an activist because you are an activist". You see the catch. These ***isms are bloody institutionalised thoughts and there is a whole bunch of snobs, out there, telling you to be a part of the Institution. ***isms had their origins based on theoritisations of beliefs which can be purely religious, political, social ,economic or a conglomeration of them. All of them are practised in some form or the other in the name of maintaining ORDER. Protocols are made , theories evolve , counter-theories develop and before you realise it, you have created n-different categories for n-set of beings, again all in the name of maintaining ORDER. In essence a n-dimensional MATRIX is created. You rode on some ***ism, to defend yourself against a set of beings who believe in some contrary ***isms. You started off with a debate ( thas' the fad in a democratic set-up). Debate remains for debate's sake, nothing is achieved in the process . You gulp your Pinot Noir, come out of the stifling atmosphere, feel the chill of the night , shake your head vigorously in consternation and at the end of it you head home. Oh fuck , you could not make your point !! If you had done that , in all probabilities you did the right thing . You just acknowledged the other dimensions of life . You, actually did realise, that the world is not uni-dimensional . You shrugged off your objectivist mindset and delved deeper into your subjetictivist frame of mind. That is when you are not being a snob. Still you are not out of the woods. The problem only deepens. You are far off, from acknowledging the fact that you are in a system wherein ENTROPY increases monotonically . There's an intrinsic chaotic element in the system which you fail to recongise and no matter what you try you cannot bring the system in ORDER with the help of n-number of ***isms.
Even though, you felt for a slightest moment that you were not being a snob, you actually got pigeonholed into it.
So theories are for what ? Do they mean nothing ? No.....theories are just the artifacts of linearisation of a non-linear system. Works fine within definite regimes in the phase-space but it only fails as you delve deeper and deeper into a make-believe world and the more you dig holes in it, more is the probability for you to hit the bifurcation point. Being an objectivist did not help, being a subjectivist would not help either . In that case you would be objectively being subjective. Will it be easy for you to accept that you are a snob and you can do nothing about it . You can indulge in fancy debates and sound intelligent by doing some killer analyses in pen and paper. You can fight for one ***ism and jump to the other at your convenience or blindly subscribe to one of them in the name of the loyalty. Where does it lead to ?
So where did we go wrong ? We had politics , but only to deal with the governance in the local areas , we had religion, but only to deal with a particular set of beings, we had economics, but only to deal with the local maxima and minima in resources.Was it the localistion of the problem? Were we always in search of local instabilities and missed the global ones ? Do we lack a Grand Unified theory ?
Noooo ...we lack Knowledge. If you can accept that then you are being a snob-not. Only knowledge can give you an understanding of the underlying dynamics of the non-linear system. There has to be a systematic global approach. A fine-grid ( each being identified as a node-point ) computation, is needed to resolve all the scales of turbulence. This system has already evolved spatially and temporally. But again, isn't that an objective way of looking at the problem, assuming the solution exists and we won't hit any singularities during this computation ....!!!!!
Is Knowledge an artifact of our objective mind-set or is it a "perception" when subjected to a subjectivist defintion ? Whatever it is, we lack that entity in its entirety to solve this mulit-point multi-time statistics !!!! Commentators (snobs) viz. Socrates and Plato and Marx will come and go obfuscating the dynamics ......
