Having lost sight of the big picture we re-doubled our efforts to confuse ourselves with the details.
This is a look at the big picture of one of the most important issues:

It is only one issue but one that drives all the others for many reasons. What are they? What is the most important one?
Money. It is our social decision making tool. A conceptual tool created by us for the allocation of resources. The life blood that takes in and removes everything necessary for healthy survival of a an environmental (internal and external interface) balanced Big Thing Top Level conceptual entity called......not difficult to guess what the principal social decision making tool serves.....Society. Our complex social structure. As complex as our own bodies at the micro level called a human being and the macro level of all human beings in relation to the the other Big Thing entity called our physical and conceptual world. The physical world and its resources given to us by nature and the conceptual world we create from a combination of the attributes of the given natural created world and the attributes of the conceptual world order emerging as a creation of our own mind.
This is about Big Picture. How big a picture? The biggest possible picture of anything is reduction to or summation of a binary relationship of two entity objects and the thing that implements their relationship. One is physical and the other is conceptual. The thing that implements their relationship is an action link.
Our conceptual world structure is rapidly evolving as a function of our ability to create a highly relational conceptual structure relating new technology of the Information Age to the legacy conceptual structure of a more conceptual driven structure that is now being refined by the very thing that is the purpose of the Information Age: Reduction of ambiguity. That is what the employment of an accurate language (less ambiguous than natural language like English) does to create better logic.
Big Picture. A Big More Accurate Picture than the one yesterday, a year ago, a hundred years ago. We however, most all of us still use the legacy language to organize our conceptual view and cling to its relational structure presentation in spite of a better view based on a better and more accurate structure of logic and reason algorithms. Object Oriented thinking.
Big Picture of any nature is supported by the detailed elements of its composition. "Any nature" ranging from absolutely physical to absolutely conceptual. Physical is physical. Period. It exists in physical reality and structure. Conceptual is our own conscious representation of that physical reality ranging from exact mirroring to total detachment from any physical reality bases.
Pounding all that totally detached from reality square peg embodied in and expressed by a natural language called English into a round hole of natural world reason and logic increasingly expressed by information systems we create refines our conceptual view of how things work........unless in a conflict situation logic and reason expressed by an increasingly more accurate structure and rigorous, less ambiguous of our Information Age expresses one thing but it is denied by choosing the representation of a legacy system of expression that is not simply less accurate but is obviously "wrong". Right and wrong are binary choices and basic Big Picture Things. Inter changeable depending on the way it is judged: Faith or Reason. Old school Subjective Belief vs. Objective Fact.
Objective Fact can either confirm or deny Subjective Belief. Truth. It is a two edged sword and a Mobius Strip at the same time but requires to different ways of looking at it and expressing it to determine what state it is in.
I prefer to pound my stake into the ground and say this is where I stand based on best, least ambiguous structure of thought available as a tool to embody and express the conceptual structure. The tool is that of the Information Age and its "Artificial Language and structure.
The old school tool is that of the old Information Age dominated by expression and structure of Natural Language: English and its structure.
The old school tool I am using primarily as I write this blog to explain the superiority of a better tool to define the structure and application of conceptual systems.
As long as it is necessary to reduce the accuracy of the new tool via a translation using the legacy language of expression it is to me a fact that ambiguity introduced by loss in translation is a problem. A problem that is a bug or a feature depending on the objectives of the user.
Politicians use ambiguity for political objective gain. Employment of ambiguity at focused low levels of the conceptual structure or to deflect from focus as higher levels like the Big Picture diverts attention from things that are intended to be hidden to things that manipulated to be important serving political agenda.
Expanded Police State is a bad thing.
Attempts to make it appear to be a good thing are..........serving an agenda that employs ambiguity that would otherwise cloud and manipulate the issue to the extent that meets agenda.
The link at the beginning of this entry clears the view of the big picture.
