Message redundancy! One of the most
important rules of communication is this: the repetition of the
message. This is a highly-used practice to grant the widest possible
visibility to what you want to say.
As silent film director Eisenstein
said, first of all it is important to have something to say and then
say it and then to say you said it many, many times. This, because
the message must be redundant in order to be received with absolute
certainty by the public you want to reach.
However, there is an intrinsic limit to
redundancy. It cannot transform lies into truth and lies remain lies
even if repeated aggressively just as Tracy Ryan Terhune and David
Bret certainly do about us.
Repetition is a common behavior in
childhood. For example, when a child desperately repeats to his
mother that his little brother has done something spiteful to him and
then, until the offender is punished, the child stomps his feet while
repeating incessantly that he was the victim.
Here, however, we are speaking about
adults, people who should behave maturely and have a little
intellectual honesty. We are speaking about people who should
therefore stop repeating lies into the wind.
But if they have convinced themselves
they are not lying, then they will never return to stand in the land
of truth... because it is now probable that their minds are clouded
by the mantric repetition of their self-generated and exhaustive
lies.
Perhaps our hope that they will recuperate some truthfulness is delusional, and the only thing left to do is to let them lie, lie, lie their way into a desert of total oblivion.
I notice that Tracy Ryan Terhune
and David Bret try to ridicule me because at my old age at 73.. to
date, every now and then I use terms and expressions which might not
be so common. David Bret claims I do this to give the
illusion of having an IQ higher than two digits.
This is another huge mistake on his
behalf because erudition or better, culture have little to do with an
IQ. It has much more to do with one's education and the familial
environment in which they grew up and acquired sensitivities.
And unlike Jean-Baptiste Grenouille,
who developed a wonderful and refined sense of smell for perfumes
after being born in the fish market of Paris, Tracy Terhune and David
Bret, who were apparently born into their fish market of lies... have
yet to develop any sense for the truth.. and are doomed to remain
wandering in the stinking fog generated by their repeated lies.
I also note that in the latest
delusional posts by these two, published on the blog they run under
the title of Evelyn's book, there are some posts by David Bret signed
with his pseudonym Joey Jenkinson. David Bret, always claiming so
sincerely that he has never used pseudonyms, does exactly that in
those posts.
Even if is nightmarish to be repeatedly insulted, ridiculed and lied about by Tracy Ryan Terhune and David Bret, I prefer to live
my life according to this saying by the great Titus Lucretius Carus:
"Sed nil dulcius est, bene quam
munita tenere edita
doctrina sapientum templa serena, despicere
unde queas alios passimque videre errare
atque viam palantis quaerere vitae, certare
ingenio, contendere nobilitate, noctes
atque dies niti praestante labore ad
summas mergere opes rerumque potiri."
This is a simple translation of this
above passage:
“Nothing is more delightful than to
exist within an ideal of the lofty sanctuary serene, well fortified
by the knowledge of the wise, from where you are able to look down
upon others who are confused, wandering here and there trying to find
their path in life, while they struggle to be smarter and more
important than the others and labor night and day to mount some
pinnacle of riches and power.”
No matter how many times Tracy Ryan
Terhune and David Bret lie about Evelyn and I, their lies will never
be truth. I choose to remain in my lofty serene sanctuary which is
always well fortified by the truth.
