i've been looking for a word that means ruled by insane, government by insanity, an -archy word for insanity.
... #lunarchy?
other suggestions welcome.
the #reversedictionary i tried was surprisingly unhelpful.
Correlative Trend Between Percentage of National Irreligiousness & National Mean IQ for 241 Countries & Dependencies, plus Pearson Sample Correlation Coefficient demonstrating a 0.64 (strong) correlation.
Given the etymology of the word 'religion' being 'the repeated process of gathering & transitionally binding' minds to ideology, it seems to me that the higher the mean intelligence quotient expressed by a population, the less susceptible its minds are to being gathered & bound to ideology.

#Etymology of Religion.
-re
From Proto-Indo-European 'wert' or 'ure' via Latin via Old #French: back, turn, do again, further do, transition, restore.
lig
From Proto-Indo-European 'leg' via #Latin 'legere' & Proto-Indo-European 'leig' via Latin 'ligare:' collect, gather, tie, bind.
-ion
From Latin '-ionem' used as a #word element forming nouns from verbs.
Religion is therefore repeated restoration of #transitional gathering & binding. #Religious ideology is therefore a restorative #system of #ideas that repeatedly gathers #human #minds & transitionally binds them to #ideology.
#God/s can exist regardless of #religion & pseudo-religions like #Marxism, #Scientism & #Transhumanism are equally concerned with gathering & binding minds to ideology.

about 25 years ago, i was iffy on the word "authoritarianism", in seeing how it could be used/interpreted to mean the authority of any who author, and that we each and all could. ... and that of course stands in contrast to the disempowering impositional likely-centralised top-down monstrosity the word may more generally conjure, in corrupted power.
... ... ... ... .. ... ... ... ... ... ... [and maybe i'm due vocabulary improvements here]
... thought occurs after i found myself again fear-quoting "authoritarianism" in this comment: https://iviv.hu/posts/1504955#c4ccea303cef013ccab2723c915ba918

DON'T BELIEVE US, #RESEARCH IT #YOURSELVES. BE #CAREFUL WHEN YOU #GOD BLESS SOMEONE OR SAY SO CALLED BLESSING CAUSE YOU COULD BE PUTTING A #SPELL OF #DEATH ON THAT ONE YOU BLESS. GO AND CHECK THE #ETYMOLOGY AND ORIGINS OF THE #WORD BLESS OR #BLESSINGS.
#bless (v.)
Middle English blessen, from Old English bletsian, bledsian, Northumbrian bloedsian "to consecrate by a religious rite, make holy, give thanks," from Proto-Germanic *blodison
"hallow with blood, mark with blood," from *blotham "blood" (see blood (n.)). Originally a blood sprinkling on pagan altars.
This word was chosen in Old English bibles to translate Latin benedicere and Greek eulogein, both of which have a ground sense of "to speak well of, to praise," but were used in Scripture to translate Hebrew brk "to bend (the knee), worship, praise, invoke blessings." L.R. Palmer ("The Latin Language") writes, "There is nothing surprising in the semantic development of a word denoting originally a special ritual act into the more generalized meanings to 'sacrifice,' 'worship,' 'bless,' " and he compares Latin immolare (see immolate).
The meaning shifted in late Old English toward "pronounce or make happy, prosperous, or fortunate" by resemblance to unrelated bliss. The meaning "invoke or pronounce God's blessing upon" is from early 14c. No cognates in other languages. Related: Blessed; blessing.
#blessed (adj.)
late 12c., "supremely happy," also "consecrated, holy" (c. 1200), past-participle adjective from bless (v.). Reversed or ironic sense of "cursed, damned" is recorded from 1806. Related: Blessedly; blessedness.
#blessing (n.)
Middle English blessinge, from Old English bletsunga, bledsunge, "divine grace; protecting influence (of a deity, saint); state of spiritual well-being or joy;" also of a sanction or benediction of the Pope, a priest, etc.; verbal noun from bless. The meaning "a gift from God, that which gives temporal or spiritual benefit" is from mid-14c. In the sense of "religious invocation before a meal" it is recorded from 1738. Phrase blessing in disguise is recorded from 1746.

The etymology of "antisemitism."
"Anti-" is a word-forming prefix meaning 'in opposition to.'
"Semitic" is a near/mid east Afroasiatic ethno-linguistic people-group.
"-ism" is a word-forming suffix meaning a 'system or practice.'
Whilst there can be any number of meanings for words in the vernacular, etymology shows us the root or literal meaning for words.
"Antisemitism" literally means 'opposition to the system or practice of the Semitic people-group.'
Opposition to any system or practice is perfectly legitimate & doesn't represent any form of moral transgression.

Mathematically undeniable evidence is not "antisemitic." It's legitimate to identify connections & form hypotheses based on available evidence.
Free speech exists to protect all speech. This includes unpopular, fringe &/or offensive speech.

So-called "fossil fuels" aren't made from #fossils. If they were, they wouldn't be able to be extracted below the fossil layer & Saturn's moon #Titan wouldn't have vast amounts of #oil inside it.
"Petroleum" is from the ancient #Greek petra + oleum which means rock + oil. Oil, or #petroleum comes from the Earth's geological processes, not fossils. "Fossil fuels" are more accurately called "hydrocarbons."
We've been conned by #BigOil, the #Rockefellers & #marketing agencies in order to create a false #perception of #scarcity to control #population & #economic development via artificial #energy scarcity & #price fixing.

Today I think I finally came up with a way really remember how to write the #ChineseCharacter 立 [li4] which means to stand. It's also used as a component in some other characters such as 章 [zhang1] and 童 [tong2].
I can recognize it, but previously would often forget how to write it. The original character from thousands of years ago looks like a man standing. But the current current form of the character is harder for me to visualize. So I came up with a story: it's a man's head, him stretching his arms out, his torso, and him doing the full splits which is his strange way of standing. It's not etymologically accurate, but it's a #mnemonic that works for me. I think using #mnemonics is a much more efficient way to #memorize characters than rote #memorization #memory #Chinese #ChineseCharacters #Mandarin #LearnChinese #etymology #ChineseEtymology #langtwt #language #languages

Pantalon was one of piano’s relatives and competitors.
Here is Michael Cole’s paper on the subject:
http://www.squarepianos.com/pantalon.html .
Here are the relevant pages of the English wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantalon ,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantaleon_Hebenstreit .
The story suggests a resolution of the etymologies of
a couple of Polish words and one Russian word;
let me know if you are interested in this thread.
It is difficult to come by any recording of a pantalon;
please let me know if you have got hold of one.
Here is a recording of a relative:

un peu d' #Étymologie
When one wants to translate from #Russian to #French. There are some conversion of letters to apply:
- Б, В <-> B,V, U
- Г, ., Х <-> H
Using this scheme one can recover many known and some forgotten words:
- Европа -> Europe
But is also very close to:
- евреи (means Jew) -> Hebrew
In France around Paris, many names are very similar to this:
- Villejuif = Ivry
- Evreux, Eure, Evry, ...
How to say "happy " in French :
HEUREUX (whereas it is Feliz, Felix, in latin languages)
- Ivre (drunk) , ébriété
Historia: comes from the Russian "Iz-Torah" = "из тора", litteraly "from the (book) Torah"
Islam ?
Musulman : мысль man of thought
Kuran : would come from the reverse of Slavic word for testament "narok" (testament of Ivan IV) ?
Jerusalem: ?
Moscow : the mosque ! (Tartarian heritage)
Many of the "physics" terms used in other disciplines ...
... originally started in other disciplines.
@woozle@hey.iseeamess.com happens to bring up the concept of "physics envy" as he discusses the term "power" used in a political context
It should be remembered that the concepts of power and gravity were actually borrowed by physics:
c.1300, "ability; ability to act or do; strength, vigor, might," especially in battle; "efficacy; control, mastery, lordship, dominion; legal power or authority; authorization; military force, an army," from Anglo-French pouair, Old French povoir, noun use of the infinitive, "to be able," earlier podir (9c.), from Vulgar Latin *potere, from Latin potis "powerful" (see potent).
Whatever some hypocritical ministers of government may say about it, power is the greatest of all pleasures. It seems to me that only love can beat it, and love is a happy illness that can't be picked up as easily as a Ministry. [Stendhal "de l'Amour," 1822]
Meaning "one who has power" is late 14c. Meaning "specific ability or capacity" is from early 15c. Meaning "a state or nation with regard to international authority or influence" [OED] is from 1726. Used for "a large number of" from 1660s. Meaning "energy available for work is from 1727. Sense of "electrical supply" is from 1896.
c.1500, "weight, dignity, seriousness," from Middle French gravité "seriousness, thoughtfulness," and directly from Latin gravitatem (nominative gravitas) "weight, heaviness, pressure," from gravis "heavy" (see grave (adj.)). The scientific sense of "force that gives weight to objects" first recorded 1640s.
Those established terms were adopted by natural philosophers (they weren't yet scientists -- 1834, from "science" + "artist") as they found a need for language to describe the new concepts they were positing. More recently it's been quarks, charm, and spin.
In my own explorations of economics and the many, many, many flaws in existing orthodox theory, one of the pretty evident historical accidents is that economics modeled itself after classical Newtonian statics, dating to the late 1600s, just as the concepts of energy and thermodynamics were being established. Smith wrote in 1776, while the first scientific use of "energy" is dated to 1807, and Lord Kelvin's formal expression of thermodynamics didn't occur until 1854.
