Space Travel and Its Relationship to The Grammatical Path to Power


The previously mentioned Grammatical Path to Power is a viable option. However, there are others, more powerful, less subtle and more exciting. Grammar is boring. It is a rule of life.

So we at the IOJ have decided it is best to leave you with the amibiguous language example and let you mull that, while we at the IOJ enlighten you about another issue that has been much in the public eye lately and that our researchers have been tackling:

How can we use space travel to gain power over our romantic partner?

How indeed? This is not a simple question, and it will not have a simple answer. The answer will be complex, potentially so complex that it appears tongue-in-cheek, to use a colloquialism. Do not be fooled by seemingly complex language. Complex language can be used to confuse and confound, as can simple language, particularly apparently simple language that when used properly can be circuitous. But that's neither here nor there.

What is here is the pursuit of power. The creation of a state of confusion in your partner is an opening that can be exploited for your personal benefit, specifically the augmentation of your Power.

Let's say your partner does not understand space travel or trajectory of assent or descent, re-entry, solid fuel propulsion, heat shields, pressure gradients, or any of a thousand such terms related to space travel. What do you do?

Enlighten the poor soul. Tell him (for our purposes we will assume the ignorant partner is a male) about them. If you don't know, do some research. Knowledge is power. Not only does it enable you to pursue goals and interests that otherwise you could not, but it also allows you the opportunity to make your partner feel STUPID.

Feelings of stupidity in your partner will spawn the desire to feel NOT STUPID. Here is where you step in to explain the nuances of space travel, string theory, and how the hierarchy of needs for pigmy elephants differs from the hierarchy for humans.

You become a an intellectual hero. Use Space Travel to become a Hero.

JOY


 

There is a bucket of gold at the end of the rainbow. The Confusion Road is one significant, though meandering, path to that bucket. However, others, including Jealousy, can also be very robust. More to come.
