pos: intj

wikipedia:
John Wayne
Sands of Iwo Jima

etymology_text:
Attested since at least 1793, when a document describes flintlock weapons that are ready to fire as "well locked and loaded". The variant "load(ed) and lock(ed)" is found since at least 1815. The phrase may have originated from the use of gunlocks on naval artillery (in use by the Royal Navy since 1745); as gunlocks were not required for firing (a lintstock could be used) it may have been necessary to specify cannon was "locked" as well as loaded.
As an imperative, used since at least 1940, in the U.S. Army Field Manual for the M1 Rifle. Compare e.g. German "laden und sichern" ("load and secure"). Popularized in culture after being used by John Wayne in Sands of Iwo Jima (1949).

Planck

text: As Dr. Feynman noted, there are still shorter scales of time and distance to go before we reach the ultimate limits imposed by quantum physics: the Planck length, 10^-33 of a centimeter, and the Planck time, 10^-43 of a second. Both are named for the German physicist Max Planck, who made the breakthrough that led to quantum mechanics.

polemology

text: POLEMOLOGY. The Principles of War exhibited in the Practice of the Camp, and as developed in a Series of General Orders of the Duke of Wellington; with parallel Orders of George II. Duke of Marlborough, &c. &c. 8vo.

ref: 1815 July, “List of New Publications”, in The Critical Review: Or, Annals of Literature (Series the Fifth), volume II, number I, London: Printed for R. Baldwin, […], →OCLC, page 111, column 1:

text: [I]f all the sciences were similarly subdivided, all use in classification would be lost by the multiplicity of the sciences; […] The Destructive, as well as the Industrial, instinct in Man would claim a separate science; and we should have a Polemology or Polemonomy, and about 10,000 other sciences.

ref: 1870 July 1, Frederic Harrison, “Professor [John Elliott] Cairnes on M. [Auguste] Comte and Political Economy”, in John Morley, editor, The Fortnightly Review, volume VIII (New Series; volume XIV overall), number XLIII, London: Chapman and Hall, […], →OCLC, page 43:

text: In the language of international economic relations the use of the terms employed in the field of polemology occurs more and more frequently. People speak of warm and cold economic wars, guerrillas, financial and commercial aggression, economic security, economic peace-keeping, and so on.

ref: 1982, Antonio Papisca, “Destructive Effects of International Economic Competition”, in Frans A. M. Alting von Geusau, Jacques Pelkmans, editors, National Economic Security: Perceptions, Threats and Policies, Tilburg, Netherlands: John F. Kennedy Institute, →ISBN, page 183:

text: Strategy as calculus on the one hand, and strategy as manipulation/manoeuvre on the other: these are two types presupposing two kinds of polemology. The two conceptions of strategy are in fact derived from two ways of thinking about war.

ref: 1993, Herman Parret, “Strategic Rationality”, in Stuart Rennie, transl., The Aesthetics of Communication: Pragmatics and Beyond (Library of Rhetorics; 2), Dordrecht: Kluwer Academic Publishers, →ISBN; softcover edition, Dordrecht: Springer Science+Business Media, 2012, →DOI, →ISBN, section 3 (The Art of War or Kriegskunst), page 31:

text: If we desire a resolution of the paradoxes which liberal modernity throws at us, and which are the crux of this contemporary global civil war over the political constitution of life, we may want to establish other ways of construing the life of human being, ones which compromise its seemingly endless polemologies and messianic yearnings for Terror.

ref: 2006, Julian Reid, “Epilogue”, in The Biopolitics of the War on Terror: Life Struggles, Liberal Modernity and the Defence of Logistical Societies (Reappraising the Political), Manchester; New York, N.Y.: Manchester University Press, →ISBN, page 129:

text: Against such polemologies, we find the [Michel] Foucault of Society Must be Defended posing the problem of war and its relation to modern political power in starkly different terms of a problematisation.

ref: 2008, Stephen Morton, Stephen Bygrave, editors, Foucault in an Age of Terror: Essays on Biopolitics and the Defence of Society, Basingstoke, Hampshire: Palgrave Macmillan, →ISBN, page 30:

text: Polemology locates popular culture in a long (even archaic and nonhuman) tradition of warfare. The "ageless art" of tricks and ruses permeates the texts and practices comprising everyday life, a cat-and-mouse game with power that also produces innovation, creativity, invention. […] Polemology allows us to bring together media convergence with the history of communications warfare, especially as they involve the very social media often cited as features of convergence politics.
