I’ll disagree. Mantra is a school of logic not a precise recital of words (wordism). Its about the why of PC and the results of such a religion. For ex; Cultist shrieks “racist” at me, me being a mantra trained thinker I do not respond with my own shriek, but instead dissect the cultist’s line of thought.

ME:

I think CL is right in that the Mantra MUST be state and repeated in all cases. And repeated.

And repeated. The Mantra totally changes he whole grounds of discussion, the whole world view.

But, as Simmons implies, the Mantra itself requires that YOU adapt to this new line of thought. The article below that CL was replying to makes this very clear. You have to have the mental DISCIPLINE to PREVENT HIS Meandering off.

You have just shown how the anti is EVIL, no matter how much he mewls about his good intentions. It is the time to show why he could have gotten so ridiculous, why it is so common.

Once again, this is simple but definitely not EASY. And, as Simmons says, you are trained here, you are not programmed. No red uniforms here. You have to get out there with your squirrel rifle and do it yourself. I gave you the rifle and the ammunition and taught you how to begin using them.

Simmons’s “Mantra is a school of logic” is absolute genius. But every second you have to keep CL’s warning in mind and STAY ON TARGET. REPEAT the Mantra itself until the other guy starts finishing it for you, and then repeat it some more.

If I were a redcoat officer, I could march you through every step. I would also leave you out there getting your butt shot off.

Personal discipline, personal initiative. There is nothing EASY about that simple combination.
