1 Ibn Taymiyya's Theory of Language~
๐งต
His ToL is inseparable from his broader epistemology. Meaning (ma'na) is not an abstract universal subsisting independently, but arises through usage (isti'mal), intention (qasd), and shared convention (urf).

2 He rejects the reification of meanings outside lived linguistic practice. Against the logicians influenced by Aristotle and later Islamic Peripatetics like Ibn Sina, Ibn Taymiyya denies that words signify fixed essences via necessary correspondences.
3 Instead, signification is contingent, historically embedded, and grounded in communal habit, not ontological necessity. In his critique of Aristotelian logic, he rejects the tripartite division (lafzโma'naโshay') as overly rigid.

How to deal with someone who is committed to misunderstanding you:
Emotionally difficult people are fulfilled by getting someone else emotionally activated. They want your reaction. Good or bad, it feeds their deep longing for connection.
They escalate situations quickly or assume things you don't mean. Your heart might start racing. You go on the defensive. You over-explain.
You're caught in their emotional vortex.

A troubling interaction with a so-called protector of the survivor community (meaning MK-Ultra survivors) leads me to share this thread about the importance of independent thinking. It is based on Q. (๐งต) /1
As new truths come to light, new people will try to assert authority by claiming superior knowledge.
To avoid becoming "sheep" all over again, individuals must rely on their own discernment.
The goal is to avoid trading one set of "masters" for another.

General Zaluzhnyi, Ukraine's Ambassador to the UK:
According to traditional textbooks, the war in Iran should have only two strategies. These are the strategy of defeat and the strategy of attrition. 1/6
According to traditional textbooks, the war in Iran should have only two strategies. These are the strategy of defeat and the strategy of attrition. 1/6
With the first strategy, everything is clear, as with โKyiv in three daysโ. Probably someone thought that this was also possible in Iran. But if the defending side switches to a strategy of attrition, the attacking side will definitely have big problems. 2/6
Because cheap and highly effective technologies will not only destroy the oil industry but will also destroy the economy of anyone who tries to test Ukraineโs experience in the Middle East. 3/6
Why Iran is Winning the War
Beyond the Blast: Why Strategy, Not Firepower, is Winning the Day
Asymmetric wars should not be analyzed through the lens of damage sustained, but rather by the objectives achieved. Vietnam was hit by 7.5 million tons of bombs and won the war.
Afghanistan was struck by over 2 million tons of Soviet bombs and won. In the early 2000s, Afghanistan was again invaded and hit by over 200,000 tons of American bombs. Once again, it won, forcing a desperate U.S. withdrawal under the Talibanโs advance, leaving billions of dollars in equipment behind.
Today, the Taliban still rule Afghanistan, just as the CPV, which won the war and unified the country, rules Vietnam.
In the current war against Iran, three coalition objectives were clear:
1Dismantle the nuclear program.
2Topple the regime.
3Limit the missile program.
1. Dismantling the Nuclear Program
Not only has it not been dismantled, but the coalition is unsure of its exact location. The IAEA states there is a new facility where material was moved, but cannot pinpoint where or if it is all in one place.
Furthermore, while the North Korean leader routinely fires missiles into the sea, waging a โwar against Godzillaโ, -Netanyahu has been doing the same on the Israeli side, but dropping bombs on rocks, as if trying to kill โThe Thingโ from the Fantastic Four.
The fact is, these facilities built with Iranian UHPC (Ultra-High Performance Concrete) can only be destroyed with โboots on the groundโ and an invasion operation that the U.S. is currently unable to execute. While the future landscape may change, the dismantling effort has failed since 2025.
2. Toppling the Regime
Israel not only had a plan for decapitation strikes but convinced the Americans that these assassinations and bombings would create the perfect atmosphere for an uprising. The plan failed. The sheer violence of the killings and bombings terrified the Iranians themselves.
They even bombed the residences of regime opponents, suggesting they wanted to โclear the fieldโ to handpick a successor. No uprising occurred. Instead, the Iranian government had a plan, establishing a chain of 4 to 7 successors for every key position. These attacks may have actually breathed new life into the Iranian theocracy.
3. Limiting the Missile Program
On March 20, Bloomberg reported that Iran has already launched over 3,000 missiles. More importantly, Iran deployed HGVs (Hypersonic Glide Vehicles), technology only Russia and China possess, demonstrating surprising technological advancement.
Also on the 20th, Iran surprised again by launching missiles at Diego Garcia, located nearly 4,000 km from its territory. The missile program has not been halted; on the contrary, it appears to be expanding.

Additional points indicating an Iranian lead:
โขAsking for Help: After a refusal from NATO countries, President Trump is asking other countries for help to secure the Strait of Hormuz, telling Gulf and asian nations they are the ones who need it most.
โขRising Costs: The Secretary of Defense, who requested $50 billion last week, now asks for $200 billion. Total costs during 21 days (materials, munitions, and air ops) already exceed $100 billion, with $10-16 billion spent on munitions alone in the first four days.
โขMulti-front Attrition: Iran opens fire daily with drones and missiles on at least six-eight fronts, targeting U.S. bases and Israel incessantly for 22 days.
โขDepleted Stockpiles: A study by the Payne Institute regarding the first four days of the conflict, alongside recent media reports, indicates a current shortage of several types of precision-guided munitions and interceptors. This point is further corroborated by the fact that the U.S. has been forced to scavenge interceptors and complete defense systems from its Asian allies.
โขEconomic Leverage: Iran is strangling the U.S. government through pressure from Gulf nations and Asian allies dependent on Hormuz. More importantly, it uses inflation to undermine support for the U.S. administration.
An intelligence U.S report yesterday, stated Iran could keep Hormuz closed for six months.
Iran has shown a solid strategy of gradual deployment of both technology and equipment, suggesting a more robust long-term strategy than the coalitionโs.
Having destroyed at least 10 radars and kept 7 U.S. bases under fire for 21 days, Iran still holds the power to close other strait whenever it wishes.
The iranian retaliation and resilience have been so formidable that they have effectively paralyzed the decision-making of the Gulf States. These nations are unwilling to see their critical infrastructure leveled by a war instigated by Israel and the United State - a conflict where, given the current trajectory, the ultimate victor remains dangerously uncertain.
For these reasons, as of March 22, Iran stands closer to victory than defeat. The U.S. government issues contradictory statements daily, revealing the profound vulnerability of any administration to inflation, particularly regarding fuel prices.
This is, once again, an asymmetric war being won by undermining the internal support and economic foundations of a superpower.

No Kings is planning 3000-events on 3/28 and its 1700-word press release makes zero mention of Iran, only opaque mentions of โillegal warsโ (which ones?) I like many of the orgs involved but whatโs the utility of these generic โanti-authoritarianโ word salads at this moment
Given how much Trumpโs attack on Iran is rapidly escalating and the stakes involved, it seems now would be a good time for No Kings and Indivisible to marshal their tremendous resources and hold an actual antiwar march with clear demands, not more partisan pep rallies.
Perhaps they could, at least, mention the country the US is poising to invade with ground troops by name idk. This may offend some of indivisibleโs donors who also fund Zionist organizations but it would let them capture the profound antiwar sentiment rn, esp among democrats.
