After Kublai

it really is no mystery
you are really gonna like this
that his personal khanate
of the golden new million man horde
for the first time in history
under that little tyke genghis
they intend to emanate
pogroms to hold you only villains can afford
so you might should get ready to pay, guess who?
while they would fight steadily to play with you ...

Don't use slang
with a tang
to harangue,
nor to hang
in a gang
with a mock
bunch of crock
verbal fang
Whether you're called a gold digger
or called a honky
or called a cracker
by one who's crass
It's easy to figure
He's acting the donkey
He's just a slacker
She's got no class
When the laugh is a snigger
And the actions are wonky
Full of vitriole and sass
Or a hopped up lip
Who play pretends hip
Just another slick
Dick with a schtick
A verbal rhyme ad hacker
A verbile slime attacker

When someone deceives you to take advantage of a resource intended or other purposes ... or hides behind a lee (grant in authority)
for that purpose; or hides behind those conning a claim to cloak a con conniving as crooks, cripples, or crazies:
this makes it worse, not better

If you label a loss as a victory
And name any victory, loss
Well, just what would such laurels there crown
Or cut deep, with a garland of thorns
What will be the last verdict of history
On whose head such false laurels emboss
As you rut in that false-won renown
You'll receive what a true champion scorns
All you''ve done is invict derelictory
With a life full of crowns made of dross
Do you know what it is you have lost?
Fully, what such a victory cost?
Some may think principles such as these, are relictory
'Round their neck lies their own form of dead albatross
At the end, what will their life long actions accost?
Soul of faith, full prostrate; apostate; or an agnost?

'Tis beyond all dispute
And avoids all recisions
It's really quite crass
But beyond all refute
You'll make no revisions
It is truly a gas
Yet you CAN still compute:
Just make no decisions!
(That's not the joke:
the joke is:
it ain't no friggin' joke!)
====
A decision is classically modeled as a unitary discrete soliton event.
In the actual world it is usually implemented or carried out by a series of actions largely sequential in nature, with many degrees of freewdom that have inherent possibilities of parallelism, lack of irrevocability, untaken alternatives prerequisite steps, and common root causal actions of all subsequent final causal results.
Buridan's Ass specifies that there is in any scenario involving hte reduction of a continuous domain to a discrete range, there will be at least one point of uncertainty where the decision to do so cannot be madee instantaneously: the Ass will fail to choose immeditaely, or will have to choose randomly.
If you modally model the overall paradigm as completely as possible (including as many degrees of freedom as poossible against the actual implementational reality), you will include as many subprecursors as possible for alternative positioning within the actual manifold space of that trope set.
Additionally, asserted:
F Varela notes the distinction between states internal to the living system (decisions, distinctions) from the states present in the external world (the living system under study). Categories do NOT exist in the real world OUTSIDE the mind: "two"is in concept space, not the real world.
Similarly, in the world of prions, protids, prolids, and subvirals, there MAY be (almost certainyl are) larger cooperating sets across semiotic boundaries AS WE RECOGNIZE THEM that "implement" "more complex" "[shift to Arabic at this point again, AR bacvk to EN]impetratives"
Drawing an ana analogy: same thing here for a "different" "theory" of "decisions": it is highly likely things can be done better/faster/more flexibly than current ultimate bounds of decision theory allow for, BY HAVING A THORY TO REPLACE DECISION THEORY AT IT'S BASIS or even entirely outside of any form of modeling at all.

Example, in re NNP traduction of living semiotic cognitive systems: if you do not distinguish between
cause and effect
goal and result
input and output
you CAN achieve a result without denoting it as such...
If you can avoid making a decision,
you will not have the delays associated with such i
in asynchronous computer hardware:
or other forms of 'puters.
But beware:
do not disturb sleeping dragons where they lie at rest.
You may not be able to get them back to sleep again.

A sodden shape
Under cold wet bags
Whose form they drape
As the cold wet rain
Sundered folds and sags
Drown where he's lain
Who lives beneath
Across her face
These bags bequeath
So still her arm's
Last resting place
Now safe from harm
A hidden form
There in outlined
An arm, a thigh
Could be: divined
As nature stormed
In part kept dry
Perhaps as well kept warm
The bus came by
Not one would look
No one, not I
On that cold dawn
One life forsook
And then: rolled on

No shame, no why

A final hush

Small sand crabs furies
Bestirs the grains
While beetles' scurries
Avoid the rains
Below the palms
Leaves softly playing
The Hula calms
Leis gently swaying
As breakers crash
Amid these tunes
There comes a splash
Between the dunes
As on these grounds
I stroll & roam
And I hear the sounds
Of my island home

Some folks might perhaps say
On Awakening from sleep
From the night to the day
Half awake, as they leap
From the bed to the table
Breaking fast, to the meal
Take bread, fast as you're able
Making way towards the real
When you sleep Dreams Are For Real
And Reality Is Wrong
As they keep all that you feel
In your whole heart full and strong
But the real full true challenge
That in all, we all face
In our deepest mentality
As from our bed we do rise
Could our feelings impinge
What we call in to place
Should our sleep, in reality
Be, instead, here reprised?
From your head and your soul
And thence into reality
Leap from bed with your goal
Bring hence forth, with finality
Then, no longer your Dreams
They expand on their Own
Growing Stronger, it seems
When They Stand Up, full grown

Writing prompt: Dreams are real, Reality is Wrong" (source citation: Tupac Shakur from his book ", The Rose That Grew From Concrete")
Though his actual citation is "Reality is wrong. Dreams are for real". Though perhaps this too was a mis-quote (not).
An actual citation of "Dreams are real" (Ellis Havelock) is one of many: at URL http://quotationsbook.com/quote/11440/
Likely the other forms are out there: the sentiment and attitude expressed is a common one among sophonts.
