Forsooth, That was a gem!! That is, i still dont know whether youd be happy to steer clear from invoking violence when discoursing economic approaches to moral issues…
Mongoose vs (king) cobra, thats a pairing from asia i could be curious about..
[I note another horseshoe-like effect where foxes mporp lions, realtime, get themselves confused..]
Anabasis is _the_ counterexample i’d like to have remembered.. fully vulpine Commanding Officer
(I mentioned assassinationtargetstateofmind because… inferred internal states tend to be insanely effective when identifying .. familiars?)
- 082349872349872 2y agoI've been invoking violence because that is ("keeping the lion-fox defos close to where they have always been") the historical leonine[0] trait. Fox-lion confusion by a third party also occurs in one of the Panchatantra stories, where a mother leaps to the conclusion that the mongoose with blood on its mouth has betrayed her... (compare "Rikki-tikki-tavi") From the violence-dealing viewpoint, wasn't the CO in the Anabasis designori? A 10'000 strong combined arms unit, even if default dead, is still well capable of holding its perimeter against wolves. (both here and in Persia) That said, if you'd prefer to rotate the microscope lenses and narrow down to even-more-metaphorical lions and foxes, I'm happy to do so (if I may footnote the occasional ultima ratio[1] from time to time?) going forward. [0] in the Tanakh lion is used metaphorically for scholars, but only as part of a total order, and there's plenty of violence in the (t <= R. Meir) fox and lion stories. (open Q: was the hebrew word, which gets translated fox, a fox or a jackal?) [1] making people offers they can't refuse? EDIT: this is probably the reason for our different distributional preferences: as metaphors for strategies, I'll grant a non-bimodal distribution, but as long as the lion stands (rampant?) for violence, doing gangsta shit effectively (which includes irreversible decision-making under the influence of adrenaline) implies a significant time sunk cost in having earlier practised doing gangsta shit; similarly all the skulking about meeting with (potential) informants is a significant time sink for the case officer: we can't all just have Hugin and Munin show up each morning with the news. EDIT2: to what extent does Hercules' use of the Nemean Lion's claws to skin itself anticipate Cantor's use of diagonalisation?
- 082349872349872 2y agoIn order to get a better idea of the distinction you have in mind, fox or lion: EES, DJT, NB1, DG, PG, SHA?
- gradschoolfail 2y agoIll need you to disambiguate EES,DG (DanG?) .. NB1 designori, writing off Laplace as a chancellor was fox skin (see below) DJT designori, but much less certainty, fox wearing lion skin badly, or with help of stims? PG: from video, designori, from writings, fox, so maybe fox wearing a lion skin? (havent considered his encounters with wolves and traps) DanG no idea, slight maybe of fox wearing lion skin (from interviews) Another measure: warmth/intellect affectations, so if inferred from writings=propganda (uh modulo that french isnt my Ln) old boney is one hell of a fox, or lion wearing fox skin.. Theres also the Mahatma: designori imho certainly, if he said=he meant live like youll die tomorrow,]l[earn like youll live forever Sorry about the Xenophon, brainfatulence, as it was. So id encourge you to point out any egregious goalpost shifting above & below Our Lord of the Masses, yes (designori, probably, as a guess from the 2nd hand ads and not from any scholarship whatsoever) El Cid, no idea, too far back, but from what you just said , designori but no idea of what wearing what skin (If youd like i would have to even put some bars on my responses) Veblen: most likely fox, unless we surface something in Ellen’s papers? Bw limited, so answering the shallower q’s because the discourse seems like it jumped in depth

- gradschoolfail 2y agoEES might have seemed a fox but now he’s been mostly just living the life, so i’d wager he’d been always a lion albeit with a fox skin as the situations required.. A lot of (human) capital destruction happened “under his watch” possibly too; yesterday i found in my acorn stash an old html document from Hal Varian, “markets for information goods” which should provide a good framing story for that (im guessing that the nomenclature ICE is just fortunate) “Lone” (子連れ) whiskered canid here.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5LmAo4tmT4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5LmAo4tmT4 Erm, i (mostly) missed the flagged post, maybe rehash some of that stuff here? EE’D’S always wondered if the moniker was inspired by “Lehnsmann” (aka UvH) https://www.jstor.org/stable/23980317 https://www.jstor.org/stable/23980317
