No#Marshal #McLuhanNO By Dr. Sohail Ansari Conceived and worded by DR Sohail Ansari (originality of concepts and originality of words). He believes that there can never be a zero scope for improvement and appreciates criticism if it is not for the sake of criticism. ·        Wrong methods of assessment do wonder: they prove every right thing wrong and every wrong thing right. ·        Propagandist designs little in a way that audience fills much in a desired way. ·        Failure to prove is not always a proof of the absence of proof. It may be the proof of the absence of courage to produce proof.     THE GLOBAL VILLAGE ·         ....Fragmented, literate, and visual individualism is not possible in an electrically patterned and imploded society.

#There is no point behind a point#. By Dr. Sohail Ansari Conceived and worded by DR Sohail Ansari (originality of concepts and originality of words). He believes that there can never be a zero scope for improvement and appreciates criticism if it is not for the sake of criticism. There is no point behind a starting point   ·         People those say that if everything is created by THE CREATOR then who has created THE CREATOR? I suppose for the sake of arguments that these people manage to find the creator of THE CREATOR; but the success of theirs will inevitably lead to further search; finding the creator of creator of THE CREATOR and then it will go on. We have to accept there is always one starting point and there is no point behind it. If we do not accept it, we will be in a great trouble; for example: ‘ The content of any medium is always another medium. The content of writing is speech, just as the written word is the content...

Excluding by including, # overreaching of propaganda#, Fallacy #. By Dr. Sohail Ansari Conceived and worded by DR Sohail Ansari (originality of concepts and originality of words). He believes that there can never be a zero scope for improvement and appreciates criticism if it is not for the sake of criticism. ·        People never try to learn from my experience of repeating mistakes.   Excluding by including   ·         Speech takes audience as children if so much is given and so little is to be filled in by the listeners. Speech takes audience as mature people if so little is given and so much is to be filled. Political marketing consultant prepares speech that does not leave much to be filled in but audience feel much is completed by them. Content of such speech is the hot form that excludes but appears cool one that includes; audience own the conclusion (they are subtly guided to) as they ar...

Unique despite, # Surefooted approach#, Fallacy #.

Unique despite, # Surefooted approach#, Fallacy #. By Dr. Sohail Ansari Conceived and worded by DR Sohail Ansari (originality of concepts and originality of words). He believes that there can never be a zero scope for improvement and appreciates criticism if it is not for the sake of criticism. ·        Picking only best is different from picking the best.   Unique despite many uniques  ·         No one is unique if everyone is unique because it is believed that unique ceases to be unique if there are so many uniques in the same field. Unique does not cease to be unique despite so many unique as everyone can be unique in the unique way.        A surefooted approach to question everything under the sun   ·         Arriving at paradigm shifting generalizations from specific instances is a surefooted approach to challeng...

Can be black without being white, # Indoctrination#, and Quotes #. By Dr. Sohail Ansari Conceived and worded by DR Sohail Ansari (originality of concepts and originality of words). He believes that there can never be a zero scope for improvement and appreciates criticism if it is not for the sake of criticism. ·        Philosophy as the conceptual engineering must deal with only those questions those are open to informed reasonable disagreement and a philosopher as a moral entrepreneur must create new ways of evaluating fundamental concepts but not in a way that change them. It can be black without being white   ·         If not black necessarily means white, then parallel lines those never converge must diverge. Indoctrination through media   ·         Indoctrination through media is achieved by the diverse use of the content of media but content is not d...

Nuanced deception#, Validity is denying consequent, not antecedent#, fallacy#.

Nuanced deception#, Validity is denying consequent, not antecedent#, fallacy#. By Dr. Sohail Ansari Conceived and worded by DR Sohail Ansari (originality of concepts and originality of words). He believes that there can never be a zero scope for improvement and appreciates criticism if it is not for the sake of criticism. ·        To be devil’s perfect apprentice, one must create a sin that has a life of its own. Nuanced deception   ·         In deceptive reasoning, premise that indicates inductive probability is presented as entailing conclusion so that suggested truth is ensured; for example, 90% of politicians are corrupt; A is a corrupt politician, therefore, A is probably corrupt. However, the probability that A is corrupt is 90.          Validity is denying the consequent not denying the antecedent. §   If I am the president of the USA, then...

Similar things dissimilar#, Not ethically justified to be#, flawed but strong#.

Similar things dissimilar#, Not ethically justified to be#, flawed but strong#. By Dr. Sohail Ansari Conceived and worded by DR Sohail Ansari (originality of concepts and originality of words). He believes that there can never be a zero scope for improvement and appreciates criticism if it is not for the sake of criticism. ·        What the statement ‘This formula is unprovable’ says of itself is false, and then it is self-apparently false and yet true. This statement is unprovably provable.   Similar things can be more dissimilar   ·         Political marketing consultant uses an error-producing fallacy of analogy in politics in order to attempt to persuade people to transfer the feelings of certainty they have of a thing they are certain about to a thing they are uncertain about. People are swayed by the power of an analogy despite the dubious principle (that makes analogy undependable) that if ...

Shooting is evaluation#, Analogy#, Propaganda#, Points to ponder#, Fallacy#. By Dr. Sohail Ansari Conceived and worded by DR Sohail Ansari (originality of concepts and originality of words). He believes that there can never be a zero scope for improvement and appreciates criticism if it is not for the sake of criticism. ·        ‘Rational people’ change their beliefs ‘rationally’: when confronted with evidence, they adjust the strength of their belief to it.   Shooting is evaluation ·         Critical writing can be used for propaganda when non-academic voice sounds academic within subject. The art of political marketing consultant lies in ensuring that shooting at random targets appears careful evaluation of published work; dismissive judgment appears critical and cynicism appears healthy skepticism and finally he appears to have an opinion and confidence while he is opinionated and arrogant.  ...

Political marketing through casting doubt..Points to ponder, Fallacy.

Political marketing through casting doubt..Points to ponder, Fallacy. By Dr. Sohail Ansari Conceived and worded by DR Sohail Ansari (originality of concepts and originality of words). He believes that there can never be a zero scope for improvement and appreciates criticism if it is not for the sake of criticism. ·        Conclusion is a surprise for those who are convinced that its leap of logic is unconvincing and no surprise for those who are unconvinced.   Political marketing through casting doubt on probability ·         All statements of probability are traced to a direct inference. Confidence is based on knowledge; for example people taking off in an airplane are confident that they will land safely because they know that the vast majority of flights do land safely. Political marketing consultant uses disinformation that aims at shaking knowledge-based confidence.     ...

Pride is casualty, Scapegoating through stereotypes

Pride is casualty, Scapegoating through stereotypes By Dr. Sohail Ansari Conceived and worded by DR Sohail Ansari (originality of concepts and originality of words). He believes that there can never be a zero scope for improvement and appreciates criticism if it is not for the sake of criticism. ·        ‘ The courage to fight an evil comes from the devil himself.’   Pride is casualty    ·         It is much easier to accept the request for forgiveness than to request for forgiveness because in latter case pride is casualty.     Scapegoating through stereotypes  ·         Every individual has his flaws; flaws, however, differ in kind and intensity because of the set of circumstances. Individuals sharing racial and cultural identity may not share same flaws because of the contextual difference or difference in upbringing. Black American ...

Philosophy Vs Ideology.

Philosophy Vs Ideology. By Dr. Sohail Ansari Conceived and worded by DR Sohail Ansari (originality of concepts and originality of words). He believes that there can never be a zero scope for improvement and appreciates criticism if it is not for the sake of criticism. ·        Ideology cannot survive if it does not discourage thinking among its adherent that goes against the basic doctrines that govern it. ·        Intellectual honesty requires that one must ponder the validity of a theory and explores it in all plausible approaches to debunk or endorse it. ·        Beliefs those cannot be accepted without propaganda must not have the intrinsic worth to survive on their own.   Philosophy versus Ideology  ·         There is a fundamental difference between philosophy and ideology: ideology is aimed at ‘changing the world, whereas phil...
