The problem, though, is that I feel that conservative thought hasn't really developed due to the failure to develop new concepts (which in turn requires new words.) As I mentioned before, my preference for Greek and Latin is due to my medical background. <br /><br />@Mark<br /><br />This is why I harp on about <i>Caritas</i> as being a specific type of God's love. The conflation in conception made by the widespread abusage of the term love makes clearing up the intellectual mess so much more difficult.<br /><br /><br />@Rod, <br /><br />Thanks, Pornogamy is not one I've considered but it should be added to the lexicon.<br /><br /><br /><br />The Social Pathologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12927698533626086780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29137904.post-5141417392124045492013-12-09T04:25:10.274+11:002013-12-09T04:25:10.274+11:00Koreogamy--and "Nymphilia" is probably a...Koreogamy--and "Nymphilia" is probably a more catchy term-is rapidly being superseded in modern male culture by the term I have coined in several of my novels: "Pornogamy". I.e., the modern male, reared by the single MILF, has only online porn for a sexual and romantic model, and even later in life when married and/or with kids, continues to view pornography as his true primary sexual affiliation.Rod Kierkegaard Jrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10823044286459788692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29137904.post-5027991435178103702013-12-08T09:41:06.068+11:002013-12-08T09:41:06.068+11:00I think you're on the right track with the con...I think you're on the right track with the concept, but the wrong one in implementation.<br /><br />Think of the other neologisms common in the manosphere (are these all the work of Roissy?): cock carousel, hamster, even unhaaapy. These are very, very evocative; they each make you form a very clear and unforgettable image in your mind. They're not inventing new words, just putting a twist on existing ones.<br /><br />Basically, I don't think Latin will work. You need to use English. Alliteration probably helps, too. This is probably more art than science. Here's some off the top of my head:<br /><br />Stenognosis -> single-subject smarts. May be too long. Could we repurpose "idiot savant"?<br /><br />Genopolitics - > the reflexive vote/instinctive constituency.<br /><br />Autognosis -> gut-thinking, heart-thinking, feelz-thinking<br /><br />Stenosophism -> tunnel thinkingThe Jaskologisthttp://jaskology.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29137904.post-75432760673860566522013-12-08T03:25:48.923+11:002013-12-08T03:25:48.923+11:00Confucius would have agreed:
Tsze-lu said, "...Confucius would have <a href="http://classics.mit.edu/Confucius/analects.3.3.html" rel="nofollow">agreed</a>:<br /><br />Tsze-lu said, "The ruler of Wei has been waiting for you, in order with you to administer the government. What will you consider the first thing to be done?" <br /><br />The Master replied, "What is necessary is to rectify names." <br />"So! indeed!" said Tsze-lu. "You are wide of the mark! Why must there be such rectification?" <br /><br />The Master said, "How uncultivated you are, Yu! A superior man, in regard to what he does not know, shows a cautious reserve. <br /><br />"If names be not correct, language is not in accordance with the truth of things. If language be not in accordance with the truth of things, affairs cannot be carried on to success. <br /><br />"When affairs cannot be carried on to success, proprieties and music do not flourish. When proprieties and music do not flourish, punishments will not be properly awarded. When punishments are not properly awarded, the people do not know how to move hand or foot. <br /><br />"Therefore a superior man considers it necessary that the names he uses may be spoken appropriately, and also that what he speaks may be carried out appropriately. What the superior man requires is just that in his words there may be nothing incorrect."

I contrast the men of my father's generation (WWII) with those who came even just a decade or two after. The former often content with having enough to get by, the later demanding more because they are somehow different.<br /><br />Another great read, SP.

Nobody is better – namely smarter, more disciplined, a harder-worker, braver, more virtuous – than anybody else; therefore the inflation in rights, which rather than being strong but limited become amorphous and endless. It is now no longer a matter merely of keeping up with the Jonses, but rather of automatically having the right through some kind of de facto fiat to possess everything the Jonses possess, whether it be the perfect house, the perfect mate, and so on. In sum, a term that epitomizes the unwillingness to perform that most unpleasant of actions: of looking up, and realizing that somebody is greater than you (not because of privilege but through merit) and more deserving – and most importantly, of your being fine with that!Jasonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29137904.post-76714320669385294272013-11-30T03:49:49.132+11:002013-11-30T03:49:49.132+11:00Polymath vs Monopath perhaps?
