#israel #palestine : #gaza / #hamas / #announcement / #ambiguity / #uspeaceplan / #reconstruction / #disarmament
„Hamas made a political move by dissolving its governing body in Gaza this week, but experts say the decision does not resolve the main issue of the stalled ceasefire process: the Islamist movement’s weapons.“

The curse of #ambiguity strikes again.
"A major refurbishment is planned for a popular running track costing more than £500,000."
PS: I'm also old enough to remember this site as a public open space called Packer's Field.

#FiduciaryDuty: “…what made this nonsensical #shareholdersupremacy standard so damned attractive to corporate leaders?
Well, what if the #ambiguity of shareholder supremacy was a feature and not a bug? What if the function of shareholder supremacy was to absolve the cruelest people for indulging their most sociopathic instincts? What if this "bright line test" was actually a universal excuse, an all-purpose #accountabilitysink that could be used to justify any cruelty or cowardice?”

The awareness of the ambiguity of one's highest achievements (as well as one's deepest failures) is a definite symptom of maturity.

“It's strange, because in some ways, the human #brain struggles with #change, and the uncertainty and #ambiguity that comes with it. But as a species, we seem to have been driven to innovate and to move in different directions, to explore and be curious. So there's always been a tension between the two, and I think it's helpful to just accept that this is a part of our species' natural predisposition – to create change and to be slightly fearful of it.“

Acting. One of the oddities that permeate the English language is the dual meanings of the verb “to act”.

Google destroyed the space between asking and knowing—and with it destroyed a cognitive state essential for original thought. The death of wondering.

I do not do well with #ambiguity. Get to the fucking point. Tell me, exactly what you're thinking or feeling because I do not know & am not egotistical enough to say what you feel/think, when I'm not the ambiguous player.

"Two scoops in every box!"
What standard measurement is a "scoop"?
For that matter, what standard measurement is a "box"?
I'm thinking this is not SI.

This youtuber is correct.
The great divide is not between left and the right, but in tolerance for #ambiguity & #plurality. #Authoritarians are genuinely afraid of this #freedom itself, and cry for the tyrant to save them from it.
You can treat some of these people, but you can’t heal all of them. You need to manage them.
Without acknowledging this basic human property like post-nazi Germany did and building the stops, these people will take over the state again.

Often language has similar words or similar sounding words that people speak with incorrectly without really knowing or realizing it's misleading or not quite right.
There is a more specific words and less misleading versions of #words or #phrases...
➡️ For example "Common sense"
...might mean "Common principles""Sense" is similar to "principles" but importantly principles can be more specific or measured way of saying / doing things so a list everyone can see is more agreeable, rather than your own version of "sense" which might be differently measured than list of "principles".
Since EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT and naturally they have different personality, it's better to measure it a bit more clearly which a list of principles in the middle which can help indicate agreement or debate things with less #ambiguity.
➡️ Another example
(quick-fast / maybe not perfect)💜 Love for others is perhaps top of the #list of #commandments for Jesus ✝️ and his principles - so clears up a lot of confusion between #Christian people or #Christianity or #Religion #debate - presenting a |Yes| or |No| simple question
We all need need to debate what loving people or looking after them means perhaps after that, but can assume better and not guess too not far off than even more general / unspecific words.
So if #love is top 5 on your list then a debate "Common sense" or "Common principles" about Jesus or something can be quickly agreed / answered rather than something #ambiguous.
#Lists are always good.
#CommonSense #List of #Principles
= #Answer for #Ambiguous #words or #phrases in #Debate -

CW: spoiler, explaining a joke
The headline "The Bundeswehr is now investigating, with the help of local police, who could be behind the theft." can have two syntactic structures:
1. The Bundeswehr, with the help of local police, is investigating who (= interrogative pronoun) is behind the theft.
2. The Bundeswehr is investigating (the theft), with the help of local police, who (= relative pronoun) are the persons who might be behind the theft.

Max Bernstein serves us a buffet of #compiler #effects that are as #mystifying as they are mundane 🍽️. His riveting sequel to "What I talk about when I talk about IRs" is the perfect #insomnia #cure 😴. Apparently, the secret sauce is asking the right questions, but good luck finding any answers in this cauldron of #ambiguity 🌀.

Jacobson et al. explore how #ReaderUncertainty becomes a source of insight by embracing interpretive #ambiguity.
Drawing on 1,026 questionnaire responses from the #HebrewNovelProject, they examine how readers express uncertainty—from skipping questions to outright rejecting interpretive frameworks. -

As I have always been convinced that abuse of Words, has been the great instrument of Sophistry and Chicanery — of party, faction and Division in Society.

In Waiting for a New Book: Illusions of Light, I expose how Enlightenment certainties erase the shadow-terrains where feeling, dissent, contradiction still breathe.
I’m trapped in bureaucratic limbo (yes, because the US government can’t function), so the printed book is delayed. The audiobook version—preface first—is coming in November.
Until then: an excerpt. Read along. Let your eyes adjust.https://philosophics.blog/2025/10/17/waiting-for-a-new-book-illusions-of-light/

A quotation from Charles Mackay
The prophecies of Nostradamus consist of upwards of a thousand stanzas, each of four lines, and are to the full as obscure as the oracles of old. They take so great a latitude, both as to time and space, that they are almost sure to be fulfilled somewhere or other in the course of a few centuries.
Charles Mackay (1814-1889) Scottish poet, journalist, song writer
Memoirs of Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds, “Fortune-Telling” (1841)More info about this quote: wist.info/mackay-charles/79638…
