Verbatim quote · from the corpus

“I’ve been working on the following political concept: primearchical successionism/successionist primearchy. All political problems can be reduced to (and ultimately abolished by) following, in order, whomever is to be followed, and ensuring the transition between whomever is to be followed now to whomever should be followed next. You follow the person currently in charge as if he is the person who stepped up to be in charge and in doing so you both make it more likely that he will be that person and make it possible for him to be proven to be not quite right in such a way as the “criteria” for rightness would be clarified for succession purposes. All political discussions can be rerouted to this practice (there’s no point to concepts that don’t reroute everything into a practice). Approximate the conditions under which some occupant of center will see to the next occupant in perpetuity. Obey better than you are commanded so as to be a reminder of the origin of human order. So, this is a test: how is this to be “languaged”? I’ve already done it: idiomatic intelligence/intelligent idiomaticity is PS/SP linguified. Idiom and intelligence apex at the center: the center selects from among possible names of events, scenes, participants, and, in selecting, continues as the center.”
