[FRIAM] Abduction

[Nick Thompson]

Marcus,

Motives ARE behavior.  Just at a higher level of organization.

Tactics vs. strategy..   Are we watching behavior or inferring motives?

    Geez.  And I thought it was the other way.  Nick (attack); Dave (surround but never confront).  Grant vs Stonewall Jackson.

    Chess (David) is a systematic attack at one important target and Go (Nick) is about taking territory.
    
    One player seems to think that he can be instrumental (but there are far too many targets) and the other thinks he can be generally integrative.   Some recent anarchists and fascists we see (Assange and Bannon) are real disappointments.   I would not associate with them!

        Great! Thanks.  But which is which?  
        
        Anarchy v. Fascism?

        same set of metaphors but absent the military/violence words?"
        
        Go vs. Chess?
