Everybody missed a lot of what my theory is all about. I can tell from the errors in the criticisms.
I am clearly talking about biological freedoms and restrictions, and I see it being missed.
I was watching this television program last night. There's a contest among chefs, and the winner will get backing and advice so they can open their own restaurant. The contest is to determine who is most ready for the opportunity- who COULD run a restaurant if given a chance. Each contestant thinks they're ready to do it, and has their own concept of the restaurant they want to open.
In the very first challenge, they were each given the task of making a single plate of food that embodied their concept for the restaurant. They were told that one person would be sent home afterwards, the one who performed least well in the challenge. (So, the task was to be making a single plate of food that embodied their concept for their restaurant, and also tasted good, which was obvious to all the contestants.) Everyone ran around and each prepared a dish.
A panel of 3 people was presented each dish one at a time. One person on the panel knew the concepts. The other 2 tried the food, gave their thoughts on the quality of the dish, and also speculated on the specific concept of the restaurant, which was compared to the stated concept.
Three chefs ended up performing less well than the others, and the one who performed least was sent home immediately. He said his concept was "Southern food and ramen." The dish he presented was not Southern food, nor did it contain ramen. Both guesses to the concept were from judges who could detect no pattern. "The concept is 'a mess.' "
When the chef was sent home, he told the cameramen that the concept was there, but for some reason the judges couldn't see it. (Um, neither could we, and we were watching from home.) He refused to accept that the responsibility for clear communication was his, and decided that if there was a miscommunication, it HAD TO be on the recipients because he was SURE he had communicated clearly. However, he had not- and we have the video recordings to prove it. It's a poor communicator that communicates vaguely and then blames the audience for not seeing his points.

What is CLEAR is you haven't taken it upon yourself to learn the fundamentals of communication. Likewise you refuse to own YOUR responsibility to make your message clear to readers.
IF you perceive that YOUR message is not being received in the way you intended it, the responsibility for clarification is YOURS alone.
When I led excellors sessions, it was definitely fear that needed to be dealt with the most, even with Intermediate Class grads.
I sat through a LOT of ICs as a grad. We never had a problem like that among the grads, and when I was a new student and in the same excellors as the new students, hesitancy was a minor thing that was easily dismissed.
I don't know why your excellors sessions were so inferior. The students could all have been unprepared to take the IC, or whoever was running the show might have been deficient, or something else. I don't think that it was just NY'ers were that much better than everywhere else.

I couldn’t have illustrated, nor articulated, this point more beautifully. Perfectly stated.
My Lord, you are seriously living in fantasy land. They way international will NEVER admit anything in writing or otherwise, that would leave them open to litigation. Don't you get it? The lawyers are steering the ship in this regard....even if they are no longer on retainer the counsel is in effect. Here call em up and see if you can get this pushed through...
I'm convinced this isn't a joke. After everything, Mike really thinks that twi will admit to things in writing. They go out of their way to HIDE anything. Documentation? They were even vague IN COURT, under threat of perjury. Seriously, I'm supposed to take Mike seriously and trust his perceptive ability when he makes gaffes this big?
Oh, right- he never actually MADE that gaffe. He was referring to something else, he was misunderstood, he was taken out of context, he never meant to suggest twi's error-ridden previous policies would be admitted to in black-and-white, and it's all our fault for thinking that's what he meant, and we're all meanies who are ganging up on him.

No, it wasn't just New York...I know u understand that...but to be clear...I had classes in NYC, VA, Louisiana, Ohio, and Colorado. What u describe coincides with my experiences as well, in all locations I listed.

I figured, but it's nice to have that confirmed. Either Mike was dealing with some really anemic locals in that spot, or Mike misunderstood what was going on. I can't definitively prove that those people were the same as in NYC, VA, LA, OH and CO, but I so know that's the way to bet....

To be clear...NY was the only state where classes I attended were in one city...NYC. The states I listed all had multiple cities involved. For example: VA was Roanoke, Richmond, VA Beach. On down the line.
I couldn’t have illustrated, nor articulated, this point more beautifully. Perfectly stated.
The irony for me was going almost directly from the show to reading that post.
BTW, the chef that went home was supposedly combining the concept of JAMAICAN food and ramen, and the result was neither Jamaican food nor ramen. I mentioned Southern food in my previous post. My point was completely intact- the dish contained none of the concept- but for the curious, I wanted to be factually correct. (Even though it was unnecessary to make the correction in order to make MY point, I like to be factually correct anyway.)
JAMAICAN food and ramen, and the result was neither Jamaican food nor ramen.
...but I LOVE both Jamaican and Ramen. There is a Ramen house I patronize on the regular that is all Japanese from the chefs to the menu. It's the best Ramen ive ever had, not the best there is, just the best Ive had. There's 4 Jamaican restaurants I patronize on the regular. Real deal, family run spots...all of them are incredible. Now...I would give my I teeth to sample the fusion u describe...gotta be awesome.
There was a lady up the street from me who ran a food truck that fused Jamaican flavors into egg rolls. It was gourmet. She made the money she needed to relocate to Atlanta. Miss her. Oh...she had a Philly Cheese Steak egg roll that was to die for...I gotta stop now before I go eat some Ramen.

You could have made the whole thing up. So what? What you wrote is true, in spite of the facts.
(Jamaican ramen sounds almost as stupid as four crucified.)
Wasn't R.R. in charge at the time of the RnR? I think a lot has changed since then. I hear a consensus in TWI folks that Rosalie was way too slow at changing things, and that the new management is different.
From the reports I heard Vern the current President personally called RnR members to inform them they were MA.
So is he saying any act he took prior to them voting RR out he was not responsible for because RR was in charge?
Yes part of the whitewash is defining a “new” Way. Are they calling it Way 4 now? New marketing label same exact everything else.
Classes, corpse, ambassadors, tithing, pushing for proselytizing. Central control and money flow. Still a dissolved research department but a new class.
Sorry still same pickled Pharisee on the inside despite the new meat label on the outside.
Changes don’t involve accountability and apologies to anyone anywhere ever any time.
Oh...I'm talking entertainment purposes only. I m/a them back in 2008.
Of course. It would be entertaining with all the modern forms of communication they could do a TikTok, a group text, or send a thumbs down gif and a short text and require the local stooge person to do the Pharisee FedEx delivery. I wonder if the RnR folks did the window decorations like the Mormons?
I mean with all the modern advancements since Martin Luther, we might could do 50 ways to excommunicate someone

On another note, it speaks to the extreme ego the directors sport to think they are relevant or powerful enough to matter to anyone. The RnR folks were m/a for being competition though.

Sorry, OS. This was not a jab at you. Simultaneous posts, it seems.
I gave up on fusion cuisine long ago. Especially, fusion for fusion's sake, for the novelty of it.
HOWEVER, I would give my left eyeball up to the idiom of permission to live in a city like yours with such a diverse, authentic and thriving food scene.

No worries. My grandmother, who lives in VA, came to Queens for a visit in 94. I took them to an Indian restaurant that had Lambs Head on the menu. I was kidding with her and said I was going to order it for the table. She got up to start leaving until I talked her down from the ledge, both of us laughing of course but she wasn't playing.. My palatte is so all over the place that even my wife won't accompany me at times when I go out to eat. So...ya...no offense taken...everyone can't be like me cause it's guys like u that have more culinary common sense than me that keeps guys like me from eating say...Hyena jerky...lol.

I would have happily ordered the lamb's head. The cheeks of any animal are among the best parts - lamb cheeks, halibut cheeks....
Down here we have hog's head cheese. It's not really cheese, but it's really delicious.

However, like the story WW relayed about the chef, just before my comment, whether Mike knows what he's doing or not is not relevant.
That he refuses to OWN his responsibility for communicating his message clearly IS relevant.
IMO, it's well past time to send Mike home.
It's a poor communicator that communicates vaguely and then blames the audience for not seeing his points.
