    ODE TO GEERT {Germanic words 'ger' (*SPEAR*) and 'hard' (*STRONG* or brave) meaning '*strong* or brave with the *SPEAR*'. The name's common female equivalent is 'Geertje' as my mother's name}

    someone you do not know or is much older or more important than you} AND

    STICKYBEAK:

    - (noun) Australian Slang for a busybody; meddler.
    - #383 = #80, #5, #100, #10, #5, #100, #3, #70, #10 = periergos (G4021): 1) *busy* *about* *trifles* *and* *neglectful* *of* *important* *matters*; 1a) *especially* *busy* *about* *other* *folks*' *affairs*, *a* *busybody*; 1b) *of* *things*: *impertinent* *and* *superfluous*; 1b1) *of* *magic* *arts*;
    and in this regard is equivalent to Nous: #56 - Abstruse Mysterious
    Virtuosity; I-Ching: H55 - Abundance, Abounding, Fullness; Tetra: 46 - Enlargement; as a determination made of the 3rd as the septet #369 magic
    square arrays and which produces the CATEGORY OF UNDERSTANDING associated
    with the cushioned SUPER (MALE) IDEA: #434 / #51 - Natural Guides and
    Nursing Virtuosity; I-Ching: H47 - Oppression (exhaustion), Confining, Entangled; Tetra: 69 - Exhaustion;

    EXCERPT FROM DAO TE CHING ON SECTION #56: Block up your apertures; close
    your door; blunt your sharpness {Harbour simplicity [zhi] within you}. Cut
    away the tangled {Eliminate the cause of contention}; Merge with the
    brilliant {If one has no particular eminence of his own, people will have
    no predilection to contend}; Become one with the very dust {If one has no particular baseness of his own, people will have no predilection to feel shame}; We call this 'one with mystery.' Thus one can neither get close to
    such a one nor get distant from him {If one could get close to him, one
    could get distant from him}; One can neither benefit nor harm him {If one
    could benefit him, one could harm him}. One can neither ennoble him nor
    debase him {If one could ennoble him, one could debase him}.

    Thus such a one is esteemed by all under Heaven {No one, accordingly, can impose on him in any way}.

    CLARION:

    - (adjective) Clear and shrill: the *clarion* call of a battle *trump*.
    - (noun) An ancient *trumpet* with a curved shape.
    - #393 = #8, #90, #90, #200, #5 = chatsotserah (H2689): 1) *trumpet*, *clarion*; @ 1200 hours / 24 September as associated to Nous: #25 - What's behind it all?, Imaging the Mysterious; I-Ching: H62 - Minor Superiority,
    Small Excess, Small Exceeding, Preponderance of the small, Small
    surpassing; Tetra: 10 - Defectiveness, Distortion; within the providence of
    the Greco-Roman Magic Square which has a computed CATEGORY OF UNDERSTANDING
    as SUPER (MALE) IDEA: #456 and EGO (FEMALE) IDEA: #393 and temporarily has
    a mapping to #111 - Runner of the Sun (Heliodromus): Sol Invictus

    EXCERPT FROM DAO TE CHING ON SECTION #25: "Obscure, oh, and immaterial, oh,
    it stands alone, unchanged:

    Jiliao [ordinarily, 'silent and empty/vague'] means 'without physical form
    or substance' [wu xingti]. Nothing exists to match it. Therefore the text
    says: 'it stands alone.' In the end (ie. TELOS) it always transforms itself back to what it was at the start (ie. ARCH), never losing its constancy.
    Thus the text says that it is 'unchanged.'

    It operates everywhere but stays free from danger, thus we may consider it
    the *MOTHER* of all under Heaven."

    FOOTLE:

    - (verb) to act or talk in a *foolish* or silly way.
    - (noun) nonsense; *foolishness*; silliness.
    - #435 = #20, #300, #5, #60, #20, #30 = cakal (H5530): 1) *fool*; and in
    this regard is equivalent to Nous #40 - Reversal, Avoiding Activity;
    I-Ching: H36 - Suppression of the Light, Sinking/Darkening Light,
    Brilliance injured, Intelligence hidden; Tetra: 68 - Dimming; as a determination made of the 4th as the septet #369 magic square arrays as the chronological plane and which produces the CATEGORY OF UNDERSTANDING
    associated within the EGO (FEMALE) IDEA: #307 / #33 - Achievable Goals,
    Virtue of Discrimination; I-Ching: H9 - Lesser Domestication, Minor
    Restraint, Small Accumulating, The taming power of the small, Small
    harvest; Tetra: 35 - Gathering; as cushioned by SUPER (MALE) IDEA: #435;

    EXCERPT FROM DAO TE CHING ON SECTION #40: "The myriad things under Heaven achieve life in existence. Existence arises from nothingness.

    All things under Heaven achieve life because of existence, but the origin
    of existence has nothing for its roots. If one would have things achieve
    their full existence, he must allow them to revert to nothingness."

    EXCERPT FROM DAO TE CHING ON SECTION #33: "One who conquers others has *strength*, but one who conquests himself is powerful. Conquering others consists in nothing more than using *strength*, which falls short of
    conquering oneself, for here there is no one else for whom one saps his *strength*. Using one's intelligence on others falls short of using one's intelligence on oneself. Using one's *strength* on others falls short of
    using oneself. It one's perspicacity [ming] {ie. the quality of having a
    ready insight into things; shrewdness} is used to illuminate oneself, no
    one else will escape from it. If one's *strength* is used on oneself, no
    one else will change places with him.

    One who acts with power has his goal fulfilled. If one acts with diligence
    and ability, his goal will surely be realised.

    One who does not lose his place lasts long. If one examines himself with perspicacity, acts in accordance with his *strength*, and does not lose his place, he is sure to enjoy a long reign [jiuchang].

    One who dies but is not destroyed has longevity. Although one dies, thanks
    to the Dao by which he lives, he is not destroyed [buwang], and that is how
    he manages to enjoy longevity to the full. The Dao still exists after one's person [shen] ceases to exist, so how more likely is it that the Dao will
    not cease while one's person does not exist!

    THRASONICAL:

    - (adjective) boastful; *vainglorious*.
    - #359 = #20, #5, #50, #70, #4, #70, #60, #70, #10 = kenodoxos (G2755): 1) *glorying* *without* *reason*, *conceited*, *vain* *glorious*, *eager*
    *for* *empty* *glory*; and in this regard is equivalent to Nous #14 -
    Praising the Mysterious (Metaphysics); I-Ching: H19 - Overseeing,
    Approaching, Nearing, The forest; Tetra: 9 - Branching Out; as a
    determination made of the 4th as the septet #369 magic square arrays as the chronological plane and which produces the CATEGORY OF UNDERSTANDING
    associated within to the EGO (FEMALE) IDEA: #359 as cushioned by SUPER
    (MALE) IDEA: #404;
    EXCERPT FROM DAO TE CHING ON SECTION #14: "When we look for it but see it
    not, we call it invisible. When we listen for it but hear it not, we call
    it inaudible... Its risings cast no light, and its settings occasion no
    dark. On and on it goes, unnameable, always reverting to nothingness...

    It is possible to know how things were at the beginning of time. This we
    refer to as holding the thread of the Dao. That which is free from form and nameless is the progenitor of the myriad things. Although the present and
    the past differ, customs changing as age gives way to age, not one single
    thing ever achieved successful order except from it. This is why it is
    possible to 'hold on to the Dao of old to preside over what exists now.'
    Remote antiquity might be far from us, but the Dao then still exists as
    now. Therefore, although we live in the present, it is possible for one to
    know how things were at the beginning of time [gushi]."

    FESTSCHRIFT:

    - (noun) A volume of articles, essays, etc., contributed by many authors in honour of a colleague, usually published on the occasion of retirement, an important anniversary, or the like.
    - #383 = #30, #70, #3, #10, #70, #200 = logios (G3052): 1) *learned*, *a*
    *man* *of* *letters*, *skilled* *in* *literature* *and* *the* *arts*, *especially* *versed* *in* *history* *and* *the* *antiquities*; 2)
    *skilled* *in* *speech*, *eloquent*; 3) *rational*, *wise*; and in this
    regard is equivalent to Nous: #56 - Abstruse Mysterious Virtuosity;
    I-Ching: H55 - Abundance, Abounding, Fullness; Tetra: 46 - Enlargement; as
    a determination made of the 3rd as the septet #369 magic square arrays and which produces the CATEGORY OF UNDERSTANDING associated with the cushioned SUPER (MALE) IDEA: #434 / #51 - Natural Guides and Nursing Virtuosity;
    I-Ching: H47 - Oppression (exhaustion), Confining, Entangled; Tetra: 69 - Exhaustion;
    EXCERPT FROM DAO TE CHING ON SECTION #51: The Dao gives life to them;
    virtue nurtures them, matter gives them physical form, and characteristic potential completes them... This is why the myriad things without exception must honour the Dao and esteem virtue. This honouring of the Dao, and this esteeming of virtue, none are ordered to do so, yet it always happens spontaneously... The Dao gives life to them, and virtue nurtures them, that
    is, grows them, rears them, ensures them their proper shapes, matures them,
    and protects them...

    He gives them life yet possess them not. He acts, yet they do not depend on him... They mature, yet he is not their steward. This we call mysterious virtue.

    From:

    http://www.intellectualtakeout.org/blog/bonhoeffer-stupidity-led-hitlers-rise

    Although he was in power for only a handful of years, Hitler
    and his Nazi government slaughtered millions. One of the more
    well-known victims of that slaughter was Dietrich Bonhoeffer,
    who was executed on April 9th, 1945, a few short weeks before
    Hitler’s own death.

    Unlike many of Hitler’s victims, Bonhoeffer was not a Jew, but
    a Lutheran minister, scholar, and theologian who boldly spoke
    against Hitler’s policies. Bonhoeffer landed a position in the
    German government during WWII and subsequently used that position
    as cover for assassination attempts against Hitler.

    While awaiting execution, Bonhoeffer recorded a number of his
    thoughts in a work we now know as Letters and Papers from Prison.

    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1506402747/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=1506402747&linkCode=as2&tag=intelltakeo0d-20&linkId=Z4P2FU2YLIABLITK

    One of these essays, entitled On Stupidity, records some of
    the problems which Bonhoeffer likely saw at work in Hitler’s
    rise to power:

    “Upon closer observation, it becomes apparent that every
    strong upsurge of power in the public sphere, be it of a
    political or a religious nature, infects a large part of
    humankind with stupidity. …

    The power of the one needs the stupidity of the other. The
    process at work here is not that particular human capacities,
    for instance, the intellect, suddenly atrophy or fail. Instead,
    it seems that under the overwhelming impact of rising power,
    humans are deprived of their inner independence and, more or
    less consciously, give up establishing an autonomous position
    toward the emerging circumstances.

    The fact that the stupid person is often stubborn must not blind
    us to the fact that he is not independent. In conversation with
    him, one virtually feels that one is dealing not at all with him
    as a person, but with slogans, catchwords, and the like that have
    taken possession of him. He is under a spell, blinded, misused,
    and abused in his very being.

    Having thus become a mindless tool, the stupid person will also
    be capable of any evil and at the same time incapable of seeing
    that it is evil. This is where the danger of diabolical misuse
    lurks, for it is this that can once and for all destroy human beings.”

    Americans today might do well to heed Bonhoeffer’s warning.

    Indeed. I'm surprised it isn't more widely known.

    #5 / #6: Say NO to anonymous fascist propaganda every time.

    The Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities No. 43 of Act 2006 defines
    a "PERSON MEANS A HUMAN BEING” and the question is, if it is permissible to extend this definition to be a "PERSON MEANS A HUMAN BEING AS A CONSCIOUS REALITY OF HOMO[IOS] SAPIEN[T] WHO IS INSTANTIATED WITHIN THE TEMPORAL
    REALITY AS THEN THE CAUSE FOR REASONING AND RATIONALITY."

    That my mathematical theoretical noumenon defines the meta-descriptor prototypes which are prerequisite to the BEING of HOMO[IOS] SAPIEN[T] as EXISTENCE.
