“The War - on Falsehood - began with human sanity. Now, in our own time, we are inspecting a turning point in that War, a specific battle, involving one specific person, a place, and a time. We may go back in time, to places, where math began, for one example, marking another battle won in this War, or we may look forward into an accurately measurable future. We may want to know better as to what our enemies are doing in time and place.”
Steve taught this lesson in history as well as anyone, if not better, and this student Josiah listened intently, as well. The lesson worked as a part of a process aiming to empower the student to fill the demand for Law Enforcement in Modern Times. That demand increased despite the events that became known as Liberty Day, after the War on Falsehood was won, and after the criminals were rooted out of the offices of False Government.
“The person of significance was named Henry Carl Hess, and Henry invented the hand held lie detector in his garage on Maple Avenue, in the city of Orange, New Jersey, October 12, 2019.”
Josiah had developed the habit of writing notes on paper to aid the accumulation of productive information into a workable form. His brain was growing stronger with maturity, he was 12 years old, and writing on paper, or typing into keypads, even while the lesson was recorded onto his own LD, or Lie Detector, reinforced each lesson worth learning; at least according to the limited experiences Josiah had up to this point in time.
“The LD, as we all know it now, was then as controversial a device as had been the UDW, which we still use on occasion, as we all know to be the Universal Defensive Weapon now, but now, of course, was not then, and so we want to know about this specific history.”
The third student in seniority, among this specific class, entered the room late as usual; not as late as number 1. The 1 senior student rarely showed up at all. While entering the room, all focus of attention, typically, at least among the male population, turned to Mary.
“Hi Mary.”
Mary was bright in every sense of the word, like competition with the Sun, or the moon, or any source, or reflection, of energy. Mary was not pleased with such attention, and a conflict arose in her being, refusing to be subjected to the unwelcome attention, as well as refusing to do anything about it. Flashes of diverse emotions erupted as a result, having either a reaction of intolerance to the unwelcome attention, or complete exhaustion over failing to ignore it.
“Hi Mr. Andrews.”
“Hi Josiah.”
Mary went straight from the apartment door into the kitchen with a bag of groceries.
“I’ve told her many times to call me Steve, but she won’t listen.”
Josiah nods and moves along the couch to see into the kitchen better, as Mary lists the items on the menu.
“Nothing for me” from Josiah.
“Tea” for Steve.
When Mary makes her way into the classroom, actually Steve’s apartment living room, she begins asking her questions while she sets down the cup of tea, before taking her seat, and before taking a sip of her own hot tea.
“On the subject of power, or control, over individual actions, as you have stated, there being internal and external powers struggling, with a precise demarcation between the two, it occurred to me to ask, please, how is that discrimination measured precisely?”
Josiah stares at Mary while she asks, and sits, and then as if spectating a tennis match his attention turns to the professor of accurate answers to vital questions.
“In time and space?”
Josiah turns to Mary.
“Of course, in time and space.”
Attention turns back to Steve.
“How about an example?”
Back to Mary.
“Ok.”
Back to Steve.
“Ok.”
Steve interrupts as if pretending to be the referee calling out of bounds.
“I can offer an example.”
Steve responds immediately.
“You just did.”
Mary cuts in before taking a sip of tea, a sip of hot tea, steaming.
“Precisely measuring the accurate discrimination between self, or autonomous, control, and external control outside of the self…”
Steve adds, and then takes a small sip of hot tea.
“Precisely, in that example, or any example, in time and space…”
The three sit silently for a time.
The Steve returns to the lesson.
“
