From the Analects attributed to Confucius, Chapter 13, 551-479 BCE:
If names be not correct, language is not in accordance with the truth of things.
If language be not in accordance with the truth of things, affairs cannot be carried on to success.
I welcome of Nexial Research, Tokyo. The Substack page for Lance's observations of Confucius is Kanō Chronicles.
Lance has helped me understand what we've been living through (since the pandemic at least), which is that names were inarticulate, out of place, false. What is necessary is to rectify names.
Please understand that we need you to follow Confucius very carefully—this is a man who is wise and useful two-thousand years later.
What does it mean, “what is necessary is to rectify our names”? And how does it apply immediately to Donald Trump, to the executive orders, and especially the executive order “there are two sexes, male and female”?
