Wittgenstein believed every word spoken is part of a game (Sprachspiel) and understanding is a familiarity — clarity need not mean anything in particular, so long as you’re part of the activity.

This concept is based on the rules of language being analogous to the rules of [a game]: saying something in language being analogous to making a move in [a game].

Métarécit

A metanarrative is a postmodern type narrative that all narrative of history and epistemology offer legitimisation through the anticipated completion of a — as yet — unrealised master idea.

Meta is Greek for beyond and narrative a story characterised by its telling — and this was brought forward by Jean-François Lyotard because of the postmodern condition to distrust grand narratives; in similar vein to how Fukuyama declared the end of history (with a big H).

‘Co-opted’ vs ‘Adopted’ Take Up of Bitcoin

Following a previous blog on legitimisation of economics as a ‘science’ applied in Bitcoin, I came across this tweet:

And this response:

And in light also of a previous blog around the psychology of Central Bank announcements and how they frame their market activities, I received this tweet:

I was reminded of something received from a communications officer at the IMF:

And this:

Then, this:

Finally these observations:

In the context of a meta-economics, this renders the question of post zero sum markets; where something is either lost or found — from a more or less, comparative fashion — in translation: because clarity may not mean anything in particular, so long as you’re in on it.
