In summary, the conversation touched on the dominant operating principle of Western civilization being law, based on the concept of dialectic and the Socratic Method. It was noted that an updated dialectic has emerged from discussions on the internet and this has potential to transform society. The emergence of OS 012, a hyper dialectic embracing conflict of ideas, was also mentioned as a new approach to problem-solving.

Sometimes when we think of past or future history, we miss a few simple but important things...

Like All of Western Civilisation, enforcing lose/lose scenarios as problem solving devices, bombs and blood foriegn policies...

what is the dominant operating princaple of western civilisation?

Law.

What is law based on or how is Law arrived at?

By 'dialectic', which is traced back to Sacrates and Plato, and the "Socratic Method' which is the rule of thumb for all legal discussion.

Dialectic is 2500 hundred years old , primitive.

Our 'dialectic' is what needs the upgrade! Change the dialectic, and you change and transform the society.


And as luck would have it, such an updated dialectice was developed.

The funny thing is that this dialectic was not created by a professor, or a philosopher, or a attorney, nor by any institution that you would think would supply such a thing

This dialectic was created by people, all kinds of people, discussing war and terrorism on the internet., and it was quite an unintentional discovery indeed.


OS 012 is a hyper dialectic that embraces the conflict of idea so all sides of the conflict can win.

Ya interested? Here it is..

Forgive the site, too, please, it is in playful beta mode, a tongue in cheek puzzle for the gentle reader, a little too over the top I am afraid, the new site will be launched soon.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the dominant operating principle of Western civilization and the concept of dialectic. It is interesting to consider how the Socratic Method and dialectic have been used in the development of law and legal discussions. I also find it intriguing that an updated dialectic has emerged from discussions on the internet, as this reflects the ever-changing nature of society and the influence of technology on our thinking and problem-solving processes.

I am curious to learn more about OS 012 and how it embraces conflict of ideas to allow all sides to win. It sounds like an innovative approach to problem-solving and I appreciate the link to your website. I will definitely take a look and see how this updated dialectic is being applied in practice. Thank you for bringing this to my attention and for sharing your perspective on the evolution of Western civilization.
