The term Man-choo is a play on words:
-- The Manchurian Candidate (1959), by Richard Condon, is a political thriller novel about the son of a prominent U.S. political family who is brainwashed into being an unwitting assassin for a Communist conspiracy
-- The Chinese name Choo relates to Alpha Arae (α Arae, α Ara) is the second brightest star in the southern constellation of Ara;
-- In ancient Greek mythology, Ara was identified as the altar where the
gods first made offerings and formed an alliance before defeating the
Titans.
The term mill is also a play on words:
-- the $6 million man is an American science fiction and action
television series about a former astronaut, Colonel Steve Austin,
portrayed by American actor Lee Majors. Austin has superhuman strength
due to bionic implants and is employed as a secret agent by a fictional
U.S. government office titled OSI.
-- a mill is a thousandth part compared with cent or a penny/denarii
which is a magical feature within my pre-United States of America 45th Presidential elections on 8 November, 2016 as a chapter concerning the Biblical text:
"Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth:
Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy,
said unto them, Why tempt ye me? Bring me a penny {plural is *PENCE*
from Greek: denarion-penny [G1220]: #293 - SEE KANT’s PROLEGOMENA IDEA BELOW}, that I may see it.

are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.'
And they marvelled at him.'" [Mark 12:15]

IMMANUEL KANT PROLEGOMENA (1783) AS IDEA @293: “... It is so greatly mistaken that these principles of mine, because they make sensory representations into appearances, are supposed, in place of the truth of experience, to transform sensory representations into mere illusion,
that, on the contrary, my principles are the only means of avoiding the transcendental illusion by which metaphysics has always been deceived
and thereby tempted into the childish endeavour of chasing after *SOAP* bubbles, because appearances, which after all are mere representations,
were taken for things in themselves;
FOR FURTHER ON *SOAP* SEE: "THE 1971 FILM (TRANSFORMING THE LEGEND: THE
OMEGA MAN) AS LOGICAL GROUNDING FOR HAS ANYONE SEEN THAT TRAILER TRASH COLONEL EDMUND BURKE AND HIS BARBY DOLL HOMELESS LISA ABOUT?"
<https://www.grapple369.com/Groundwork/Trailer%20Trash%20-%20Adventures%20of%20Omega%20Man.pdf>
From which followed all those remarkable enactments of the antinomy (ie *AGAINST* *LAW*) of reason, which I will mention later on, and which is removed through this single observation: that appearance, as long as it
is used in experience, brings forth truth, but as soon as it passes
beyond the boundaries of experience and becomes transcendent, brings
forth nothing but sheer illusion.
Since I therefore grant their reality to the things that we represent to ourselves through the senses, and limit our sensory intuition of these
things only [IDEA: @293 - *MY* *TRIUMPHANT* MAN-CHOO POEM 8 NOVEMBER
2016] to the extent that in no instance whatsoever, not even in the pure intuitions of space and time, does it represent anything more than mere appearances of these things, and never their quality in themselves, this
is therefore no thorough-going illusion ascribed by me to nature, and my protestation against all *IMPUTATION* *OF* *IDEALISM* is so conclusive
and clear that it would even seem superfluous if there were not
unauthorized judges who, being glad to have an ancient name for every deviation from their false though common opinion, and never judging the spirit of philosophical nomenclatures but merely clinging to the letter,
were ready to put their *OWN* *FOLLY* in the place of well-determined concepts, and thereby to twist and deform them.
For the fact that I have myself given to this theory of mine the name of transcendental idealism cannot justify anyone in confusing it with the empirical idealism of Descartes (although this idealism was only a
problem, whose insolubility left everyone free, in Descartes’ opinion,
to deny the existence of the corporeal world, since the problem could
never be answered satisfactorily) or with the mystical and *VISIONARY* *IDEALISM* of Berkeley (against which, along with other similar
fantasies, our Critique, on the contrary, contains the proper antidote).
For what I called idealism did not concern the existence of things (the doubting of which, however, properly constitutes idealism according to
the received meaning), for it never came into my mind to doubt that, but
only the sensory representation of things, to which space and time above
all belong; and about these last, hence in general about all
appearances, I have only shown: that they are not things (but mere ways
of representing), nor are they determinations that belong to things in themselves.
The word transcendental, however, which with me never signifies a
relation of our cognition to things, but only to the faculty of
cognition, was intended to prevent this misinterpretation. But before it prompts still more of the same, I gladly withdraw this name, and I will
have it called critical idealism. But if it is an in fact reprehensible idealism to transform actual things (not appearances) into mere representations, with what name shall we christen that idealism which, conversely, makes mere representations into things? I think it could be
named dreaming idealism, to distinguish it from the preceding, which may
be called visionary idealism, both of which were to have been held off
by my formerly so-called transcendental, or better, critical idealism.” [pages 43-45]

and thereby tempted into the childish endeavour of chasing after *SOAP* bubbles, because appearances, which after all are mere representations,
were taken for things in themselves;
FOR FURTHER ON *SOAP* SEE: "THE 1971 FILM (TRANSFORMING THE LEGEND: THE
OMEGA MAN) AS LOGICAL GROUNDING FOR HAS ANYONE SEEN THAT TRAILER TRASH COLONEL EDMUND BURKE AND HIS BARBY DOLL HOMELESS LISA ABOUT?"

From which followed all those remarkable enactments of the antinomy (ie *AGAINST* *LAW*) of reason, which I will mention later on, and which is removed through this single observation: that appearance, as long as it
is used in experience, brings forth truth, but as soon as it passes
beyond the boundaries of experience and becomes transcendent, brings
forth nothing but sheer illusion.
Since I therefore grant their reality to the things that we represent to ourselves through the senses, and limit our sensory intuition of these
things only [IDEA: @293 - *MY* *TRIUMPHANT* MAN-CHOO POEM 8 NOVEMBER
2016] to the extent that in no instance whatsoever, not even in the pure intuitions of space and time, does it represent anything more than mere appearances of these things, and never their quality in themselves, this
is therefore no thorough-going illusion ascribed by me to nature, and my protestation against all *IMPUTATION* *OF* *IDEALISM* is so conclusive
and clear that it would even seem superfluous if there were not
unauthorized judges who, being glad to have an ancient name for every deviation from their false though common opinion, and never judging the spirit of philosophical nomenclatures but merely clinging to the letter,
were ready to put their *OWN* *FOLLY* in the place of well-determined concepts, and thereby to twist and deform them.
For the fact that I have myself given to this theory of mine the name of transcendental idealism cannot justify anyone in confusing it with the empirical idealism of Descartes (although this idealism was only a
problem, whose insolubility left everyone free, in Descartes’ opinion,
to deny the existence of the corporeal world, since the problem could
never be answered satisfactorily) or with the mystical and *VISIONARY* *IDEALISM* of Berkeley (against which, along with other similar
fantasies, our Critique, on the contrary, contains the proper antidote).
For what I called idealism did not concern the existence of things (the doubting of which, however, properly constitutes idealism according to
the received meaning), for it never came into my mind to doubt that, but
only the sensory representation of things, to which space and time above
all belong; and about these last, hence in general about all
appearances, I have only shown: that they are not things (but mere ways
of representing), nor are they determinations that belong to things in themselves.
The word transcendental, however, which with me never signifies a
relation of our cognition to things, but only to the faculty of
cognition, was intended to prevent this misinterpretation. But before it prompts still more of the same, I gladly withdraw this name, and I will
have it called critical idealism. But if it is an in fact reprehensible idealism to transform actual things (not appearances) into mere representations, with what name shall we christen that idealism which, conversely, makes mere representations into things? I think it could be
named dreaming idealism, to distinguish it from the preceding, which may
be called visionary idealism, both of which were to have been held off
by my formerly so-called transcendental, or better, critical idealism.” [pages 43-45]
