     “In life we make progress by
     conflict and in mental life
     by argument and disputation....
     There must be confrontation C
     and opposition, in order that
     sparks must be kindled.
 
     Only an open conflict of ideas
     and principles can produce
     any clarity....
 
     Argument is essential for
     its own sake.” (Karl Popper)
 
     Even if all were agreed on
     an essential proposition, it
     would be essential to give
     an ear to the one person who
     does not.   J.S.Mill

Our grammar continues: and of course
Empowermental Studies  because power
is what it's  about, deep- rooted motive
generating my surface relationships—
empowering or dis-empowering my
Will to Power,   willy-nilly tending /ignoring,
choosing / rejecting some 
           
                   “this” or “that”
 
after untangling, say, Gordian Knots & Double
Binds generated between Alice Affect and Ike
Intellect, if you'll allow me  personification and
some mythologic in order to  put these noggin
notions in play so as to wonder why they can’t
Just Get  Along--my domestic emotional
moving violations:

              yes Yes YES, says Alice;
                    Hell No, says Ike,

               Well, ok then,  says, Ike
                    Nope, says Alice.
 
&  Willy Nilly, the decider (assuming he’s got
purpose, aim, measurable goal)  may come  to
some decision —side with Alice, his sometimes
main squeeze; or hang with  Ike, that gnostic
agnosticator.
 
Or maybe consider  emergent  values &
phenomena  rising up from his ongoing
fight-club struggle.
 
Always a power struggle.
Power to  Will. Will to Power.

Programs going  on & on and my  willy/nilly
be done, damnit:  an ongoing domestic violation
where charity  is said to begin and begin again.
