I ask Claude how Michel Foucault might consider the parable of the 2 valleys.

I also realise that I lose at least an hour a day just managing my blog posts and social media, as I'd regained that time recently due to spotty internet connectivity owing to a snowstorm in New England.

Thomas Gouge, a Puritan minister, reflecting on the rich man and Lazarus, warns that unmerciful wealth is spiritually perilous. The rich man’s sin was not luxury alone, but withholding even crumbs from the needy. Gouge presses his hearers to be “free and forward, liberal and bountiful” toward the poor—treating generosity not as optional kindness, but as a chief Christian duty.

Proudhon said property is theft, but Claude tells me that property is violence.
Which one is correct? Why not both?

Je m'accuse. I grievously squandered a Saturday, rendering a parable about communication.
⛰️ https://philosophics.blog/2026/02/01/two-valleys-diverged-in-a-mountain-range/?utm_source=masto&utm_medium=socialClaude did the heavy lifting after extensive dialogue and goading. Even worse, the dialogue continued, extending the story and generating more content.

Kayal and Murugan grinding the grain at the idli bistro in Idli Kadai is reminiscent of the pottery scene in Ghost and about as sexy. 🥵 🔥

Jesus also told this parable to people who were sure of their own goodness and despised everybody else. “Once there were two men who went up to the Temple to pray: one was a Pharisee, the other a tax collector.
“The Pharisee stood apart by himself and prayed, ‘I thank you, God, that I am not greedy, dishonest, or an adulterer, like everybody else. I thank you that I am not like that tax collector over there. I fast two days a week, and I give you one tenth of all my income.’
“But the tax collector stood at a distance and would not even raise his face to heaven, but beat on his breast and said, ‘God, have pity on me, a sinner!’
“I tell you,” said Jesus, “the tax collector, and not the Pharisee, was in the right with God when he went home. For those who make themselves great will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be made great.”
[Εἶπεν δὲ καὶ πρός τινας τοὺς πεποιθότας ἐφ᾽ ἑαυτοῖς ὅτι εἰσὶν δίκαιοι καὶ ἐξουθενοῦντας τοὺς λοιποὺς τὴν παραβολὴν ταύτην· Ἄνθρωποι δύο ἀνέβησαν εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν προσεύξασθαι, ὁ εἷς Φαρισαῖος καὶ ὁ ἕτερος τελώνης.
ὁ Φαρισαῖος σταθεὶς πρὸς ἑαυτὸν ταῦτα προσηύχετο, Ὁ θεός, εὐχαριστῶ σοι ὅτι οὐκ εἰμὶ ὥσπερ οἱ λοιποὶ τῶν ἀνθρώπων, ἅρπαγες, ἄδικοι, μοιχοί, ἢ καὶ ὡς οὗτος ὁ τελώνης· νηστεύω δὶς τοῦ σαββάτου, ἀποδεκατῶ πάντα ὅσα κτῶμαι.
ὁ δὲ τελώνης μακρόθεν ἑστὼς οὐκ ἤθελεν οὐδὲ τοὺς ὀφθαλμοὺς ἐπᾶραι εἰς τὸν οὐρανόν, ἀλλ᾽ ἔτυπτεν τὸ στῆθος αὐτοῦ λέγων, Ὁ θεός, ἱλάσθητί μοι τῷ ἁμαρτωλῷ.
λέγω ὑμῖν, κατέβη οὗτος δεδικαιωμένος εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ παρ᾽ ἐκεῖνον· ὅτι πᾶς ὁ ὑψῶν ἑαυτὸν ταπεινωθήσεται, ὁ δὲ ταπεινῶν ἑαυτὸν ὑψωθήσεται.]The Bible (The New Testament) (AD 1st - 2nd C) Christian sacred scripture

Cute and speaking to family-level nostalgia perhaps, more than its artful writing, "Amahl" falls short of its defenders' claim as one of the best librettos. "Licorice!"

From my old saved texts on PC:

Hi, anon! Someone sent me this palabre over e-mail. He presented himself as Pete Anderson. I tried to search for authors of this name, but I have not found anything. I'm interested in, which existing philosophy does the text resemble. Here's his e-mail:
"Hi, Mark! I am Pete Anderson. Hope, you're doing well! I was delving into transcriptions of old Hittite and Luwian texts. And I found this text of unknown origin, it was located in the same batch as the transcription of Illuyanka:
"four creatures,
5100 BCE,
During my walk on the lake, I was talking with an imaginable creature. Which appears to be an angel. I talked with him about what is the difference between free and slave person. He offered me to imagine a bottle and a landscape. Bottle uses its water for different actions. We went through different stages of differences:
1) "Free" bottle moves. "Slave" bottle does not move.
2) "Free" bottle moves in different directions. "Slave" bottle moves in one direction.
3) "Free" bottle moves, builds new walls and crashes existing walls. "Slave" bottle only moves.
4) "Free" bottle moves, builds, crashes and makes building and crashing more efficient. "Slave" bottle moves, builds new walls with only a clay and crashes walls with only a stone stick.
5) "Free" bottle moves, builds, crashes, optimizes, records and reuses information on his clay with stone stick. "Slave" bottle only moves, builds, crashes and tries to find "best" solution.
6) "Free" bottle moves, builds, crashes, optimizes, records, reuses information and uses walls for recording. "Slave" bottle doesn't see walls as recording mean.
7) "Free" bottle learns from past sucked bottle. "Slave" bottle starts from scratch every time.
8) "Free" bottle knows: its capacity is limited for water, and it grows something different for extra capacity. "Slave" bottle only recharges water.
9) "Free" bottle is focused on life. "Slave" bottle is focused on easy-to-follow frames or comfort zone.
10) "Free" bottle rests. "Slave" bottle is busy every time.
So this is how I can determine difference between the "free" and the "slave".
Then I asked The Angel about what's the difference between the "good" and the "evil". If they can do the same things in different contexts. The Angel said me something like:
- The Good is free and harmonic. The evil destroys itself and tries to survive at the same time.
- But isn't the evil harmonic if it can keep the same level of life with different means?
- Harmony is eternal. It is about finding a balance between your qualia and surroundings. Self-destruction with survival is not eternal. It's limiting. Harmony and limiting are different things.
- How does harmony come in pair with freedom if harmony also poses constraints?
- You can live healthy and peaceful life with unlimited journey and creation. And you don't need to have more power or money, than you need to achieve for this. This is what about this dichotomy.
- So The Good lives life and creates value for themselves and then for others? And the evil is limited in beliefs so it tries to limit others to survive? So others can also be drained into the same game?
- Yes. You are right.
- Isn't utilizing resources of Nature a destruction for survival?
- No.
- Why?
- They can be utilized for growth. Like child grows in size to adult person. And a single hut which looked like a palace, starts to look like a cage.
- So The Good grows until free harmonic eternity is achieved? And the evil deludes itself by false beliefs into eternity of their limited image?
- Yes.
- But other conscious beings can also be utilized as resources.
- Then they're not conscious beings. They're fully controlled items like minerals or cattle. Conscious beings brings the Harmony and the Freedom.
- So The Good works on par with other conscious beings to grow? And the evil tries to destroy conscious beings to extract resources for its survival?
- Yes.
- Can the evil be a shadow of The Good? And this shadow deludes itself, that it's worth the same and even greater than The Good?
- Yes. You're right.
- I understand you. Why the evil exists then?
- It exists to understand The Good. The Good learns All The Life. To achieve The Harmony and The Freedom. While the evil portrays All The World as a perfect sphere, which can be easily predicted and controlled.
- I understand you.
Then I walked out of the forest back to the home. The Angel said:
- We are walking through the people. I keep you. So that you look easy while dreaming. Today you have a rest and dreaming mind because you underslept. That's ok. Later you will sleep well and be in more hurry for your path.""
