CombatWords, February 24, 2012: Framing
Multiple Choice, True/False, or
Narrative? In the framing of the question, I express a preference.
Likewise, the way we think about problems in the world can often be
expressed as Multiple Choice, True/False, or Narrative. I suppose you
could argue that we are culturally programmed to think that way, but
I don't really care about the why, so much as the what—and the what
entails the methods of epistemology. Positivists and rejectionists
locked in their fact-based deathmatch of derivability versus
negation; schools of thought versus schools of thought versus schools
of hard knocks—even the storyteller imposes a framework upon the
various modes and datapoints—all of them frame the haecceity (the
'thisness') of phenomena.
