Hypergraphia and Hypographia .

Hypergraphia and Hypographia .
Andre Willers
24 Jan 2011

"To understand all is to forgive all"
"To understand all is to require more"
"Speak up ! "
Christian princeps .

Synopsis :
Understanding , HyperUnderstanding and HypoUnderstanding .

Discussion :

HypoUnderstanding is an individual who will not admit to new connections between data , even if it is to his benefit .This used to have a survival benefit in slow-changing environments. But it is lethal in rapidly changing environments .Cf Norse fishing in Greenland .

It is also prevalent in the Religious , Medical and Scientific communities . The Modern Priesthoods .

Hypergraphia is an attempt to change general perceptions by yakkiting a lot . Usually not successful . Chinggis Khan used hypographia and HyperUnderstanding to great effect . (Talk softly and carry a big stick ) . But it did not last .
He should have used hypergraphia .

Sigh . The chattering classes .
Sheer repetition always seems to work with idiots . Of course . Still , better than HypoUnderstanding .

If you think this is not important , look at Appendix A below . The Ancient greeks could not differentiate between knowledge , understanding and belief .

They and the Romans who took over this system were annihilated .

Hypergraphically Yours
