“Speculation” Has Its Proper Purposes, Don’t Doubt
(Apollonian, 25 Feb 14)
I observe that in his interviews Prof. Tracy seems rather low-key and matter-of-fact for his responses, coy, even.
Musings, u overlook, I think, the observation that a citizen OUGHT to be able to then “speculate” upon solid observations–which now Tracy realizes he may not be able to do (“speculating”) due to the threatening circumstances he’s already suffered.
For a good citizen ought to be able to speculate, abstract, and thus to give warnings to fellow citizens, Tracy being well-qualified as observer and knowledgeable of journalism and the present professional practice which anyone knows is quite nefarious, Tracy not the least.
For Prof. Tracy is just the sort, given his position, that he could well and quite respectably generalize upon the events, Bost. Marathon bombing and Sandy Hook, to name just two–there are others–as a species of psy-ops, specifically entailing the BIG-LIE technique as I’ve noted.
But Tracy cannot be blamed for omitting to so “speculate” (actually, to simply observe and classify)–and this is precisely the TRAGEDY and outrage that such as Tracy, so well qualified, cannot easily so comment and thus to inform his fellow citizens.
