Lisp, Java, and the Hegelian dialectic

Name: Anonymous 2016-11-28 1:58

This reminds me of the Hegelian notion of the dialectic -- thesis, antithesis, and synthesis. I guess that makes C++ the thesis, Java the antithesis, and C# the synthesis. But Hegelian dialectic is an iterative, ongoing process, so I guess the ultimate thesis, and the end of the history of programming languages, will be Lisp.

Really makes you think.

In Freemasonry, we say Ordo ab Chao. Order from Chaos.

There's two interpretations, depending upon ones perspective and abilities.

To those of the Left-hand path, it takes the form of the Hegelian. You are familiar with this. Thesis, antithesis, and synthesis becomes problem, reaction, solution. Often one has a "solution" that would be favorable, and thus it is merely a matter of working backwards to generate the requisite problem to facilitate the necessary reaction, all in order to make your "solution" become the selected outcome. Hence the origin of most false flag operations throughout history. To create your new order by inducing the chaos in the first place.

Take a look at the Rust community. They follow this paradigm in attempting to establish their language, but more importantly in an attempt to devour the entire software community at large. All of social justice, communism, Marxism and so on follows this path. Sabbateanism/Frankism/Thelemism. The Path to Hell.

Desired outcome: They want total power in the domain of software development and they aim to accomplish this by moving everyone over to only use their programming language, which they can police and control.
Solution: Everyone must use Rust because it offers "safety".
Reaction: It's too dangerous to write software in unsafe languages.
Problem: Another catastrophic stack overflow caused because it was written in C/C++, which are inherently unsafe, if only they had used Rust instead. Only Rust provides safety.

And so they conspire and evangelize to promote click-bait articles highlighting the problems of C/C++ and the necessity of Rust.

Now, onto the other interpretation of Ordo ab Chao.

To first identify the chaos within oneself and the problems created by one's own ego is the first step towards overcoming the self and remaking oneself anew. To integrate and subordinate the shadow of one's being so that you are able to overcome it. To slay the inner demons and use the freed chaos within to establish a new inner order. To fix the problems of your own existence first and foremost, recognizing at last that it is the concept of the self that holds one back. Only then will you have transcended the self and become one with The Almighty and embarked on His path. Then gates of satori open themselves to you. Watch the movie "Revolver" and you'll understand.

Is this not the path of the lone Lisp hacker? Although, Lisp is too concrete and specific of concept here. A better abstraction would be Lisp on a t-shirt or McCarthy's original paper on Lisp. Various Xerox Park researcher's ideas of coming up with the Maxwell equations of programming. Of how to change your perspective to successfully surmount a corresponding programming problem. Programming distilled to its essence.

False power awaits those who attempt to bend and reshape the material world to satisfy the base desires of their ego. This is the Left-hand path. The devil is legion, and those who follow the Left-hand path, unknowingly or otherwise, typically do so in groups.

The other hand, the Right-hand, this is the path of solitude towards true power, but only for those who instead bend themselves to the higher-plane of the immaterial world, those who risk everything in battling the devil within, and those who ultimately align themselves with the essence of The Monad.
