The Weimar Republic, indubitably a female-dominated species of secular freedom, gave Germany the impetus to restock its population after the horrendous losses of the Great War. A paradoxical prelude to the rebirth of a male-oriented German nationalism and, ultimately, nation, who would follow a single leader rather than continue to be governed by people's representatives or regress to subservience before an autocracy such that, in any case, had plunged Germany into the First World War and subsequent bloodbath. Too bad the leadership was flawed.

THOUGHTS ON JAZZ
A drum solo is the exemplification, purely and simply, of the Will, as an expression of metachemical dominance. It exemplifies the Life Force.
Jazz is the most backward kind of modern music – backward in the sense of exemplifying the Will in an alpha-stemming and/or alpha-oriented predilection towards percussion and … brass, that fiery ‘bovaryization’ of wind suited to a fundamentalist if not materialist disposition.
Jazz, fundamentally, is about space and pseudo-time – spatial pitch and sequential rhythm. That is what makes it materialist/fundamentalist and pseudo-idealist/pseudo-transcendentalist, as though a combination, to varying extents, of metachemistry and pseudo-metaphysics, Will and pseudo-Soul, which appertain to the northwest point of the intercardinal axial compass on what would be the ruling positions of the state-hegemonic/church-subordinate axis.
Jazz-rock, or 'fusion', is an accommodation of Jazz to 'the world' of that which, in rock or rock 'n' roll, properly appertains to the southwest point of the intercardinal axial compass on what would be the deferential positions of the church-hegemonic/state-subordinate axis. It is as though cinema were being accommodated, via film, to television.

STOUT AND BROWN ALE VIS-A-VIS LIGHT ALE AND LAGER
I intimated in my weblog 'Ale and Stout' that I might give this intriguing subject some additional thought in order to clarify one or two outstanding issues and, lo and behold!, that is what I have done and, as usual, resolved the issue to my logical satisfaction.
For physics over pseudo-chemistry at the southeast point of the intercardinal axial compass equals vegetation (or earth) over pseudo-water or, in common parlance, shit over pseudo-piss, and one has here not simply a can/bottle distinction but a distinction, moreover, between stout and brown ale, the latter a kind of shat-upon beer which accords, in tight skirt-like vein, with pseudo-piss, which, translated back into beer terminology, would equate with brown ale as a manifestation less of phenomenal subjectivity than of phenomenal pseudo-objectivity.
On the other hand, chemistry over pseudo-physics at the southwest point of the intercardinal axial compass equals water over pseudo-vegetation (or pseudo-earth) or, in common parlance, piss over pseudo-shit, and here one has not simply a bottle/can distinction but a distinction, moreover, between light ale and lager, the latter a kind of pissed-upon beer which accords, in flared pants-like vein, with pseudo-shit, which, translated back into beer terminology, would equate with lager as a manifestation less of phenomenal objectivity than of phenomenal pseudo-subjectivity.
Therefore light ale over lager at the southwest point of the intercardinal axial compass has to be contrasted with stout over brown ale at the southeast point of the said compass, the former pairing commensurate with chemistry over pseudo-physics, or phenomenal (as opposed to noumenal) females over phenomenal (as opposed to noumenal) pseudo-males, and the latter pairing commensurate with physics over pseudo-chemistry, or phenomenal (as opposed to noumenal) males over phenomenal (as opposed to noumenal) pseudo-females.
That, then, is the logical underpinning of the distinctions between ale and lager and/or stout, and one can see that ale, whether light or dark, pale or brown, is on the female side of the gender fence and both lager and stout, germane as they should be to cans as against bottles, are on the male side of such a fence, one pertaining, as noted above, to separate axes of which the southwest is polar to the northeast on church-hegemonic terms and the southeast polar to the northwest of state-hegemonic terms.
For physics over pseudo-chemistry at the southeast point of the intercardinal axial compass equals vegetation (or earth) over pseudo-water or, in common parlance, shit over pseudo-piss, and one has here not simply a can/bottle distinction but a distinction, moreover, between stout and brown ale, the latter a kind of shat-upon beer which accords, in tight skirt-like vein, with pseudo-piss, which, translated back into beer terminology, would equate with brown ale as a manifestation less of phenomenal subjectivity than of phenomenal pseudo-objectivity.

LITERATURE AND THE INTERCARDINAL AXIAL COMPASS
Using the intercardinal axial compass of bisecting diagonals as a model for sensual and sensible distinctions on both noumenal and phenomenal planes, we can plot a distinction between drama and poetry as female and pseudo-male options vis-a-vis philosophy and prose as male and pseudo-female options, as though the former pairing corresponded to the sensuality of noumenal and phenomenal objectivity coupled to pseudo-subjectivity at the northwest and southwest points of the said compass, while the latter pairing corresponded, by contrast, to the sensibility of noumenal and phenomenal subjectivity coupled to pseudo-objectivity at the northeast and southeast points of the compass in question.
As I tend to distinguish the northwest from the southwest in terms of metachemistry and pseudo-metaphysics (from out of antimetaphysics) vis-a-vis chemistry and pseudo-physics (from out of antiphysics), I will allow for a noumenal contrast between elemental particles and pseudo-elemental wavicles in respect of the former pairing and for a phenomenal contrast between molecular particles and pseudo-molecular wavicles in respect of the latter pairing, the former commensurate with will and pseudo-soul, the latter with spirit and pseudo-ego.
Therefore in literary terms a distinction between the short (elemental particle) drama of metachemical will and the short (pseudo-elemental wavicle) poetry of pseudo-metaphysical pseudo-soul must be contrasted with the long (molecular particle) drama of chemical spirit and the long (pseudo-molecular wavicle) poetry of pseudo-physical pseudo-ego, with female and pseudo-male distinctions in each category relative to the noumenal/phenomenal dichotomy that exists between the northwest and southwest points of the intercardinal axial compass.
Likewise as I tend to distinguish the northeast from the southeast in terms of metaphysics and pseudo-metachemistry (from out of antimetachemistry) vis-a-vis physics and pseudo-chemistry (from out of antichemistry), I will allow for a noumenal contrast between elemental wavicles and pseudo-elemental particles in respect of the former pairing and for a phenomenal contrast between molecular wavicles and pseudo-molecular particles in respect of the latter pairing, the former commensurate with soul and pseudo-will, the latter with ego and pseudo-spirit.
Therefore in literary terms a distinction between the short (elemental wavicle) philosophy of metaphysical soul and the short (pseudo-elemental particle) prose of pseudo-metachemical pseudo-will must be contrasted with the long (molecular wavicle) philosophy of physical ego and the long (pseudo-molecular particle) prose of pseudo-chemical pseudo-spirit, with male and pseudo-female distinctions in each category relative to the noumenal/phenomenal dichotomy that exists between the northeast and southeast points of the intercardinal axial compass.
Doubtless the distinctions between 'short' and 'long', appertaining to elemental and molecular class or axial dichotomies, can be given more concrete interpretation than the above might suggest, with 'short drama' for instance decidedly wilful where the 'long' variety, equating with spirit, would be more verbal and voice-oriented, encouraging a correspondingly long-winded approach to poetry, on the other side of the gender fence, that is more likely to be of the free-verse variety than of anything overly lyrical and metric. But, whether 'long' or 'short', the drama would be female and concerned primarily with fact, the objective expression of female will and/or spirit, whereas the poetry would be pseudo-male and primarily concerned, lacking a capacity in the female-hegemonic circumstances for truth, with illusion or, more correctly, with falsity, being the pseudo-subjective impression of pseudo-male pseudo-soul and/or pseudo-ego.
Likewise, to extend our concrete interpretation into axial sensibility to the right of anything sensually hegemonic, one would have to argue that 'short philosophy', meaning an aphoristic approach to philosophising, will be decidedly soulful where the 'long' variety, equating essayistically with ego, will be more intellectual and knowledge-oriented, encouraging a long-winded approach to prose fiction, on the other side of the gender fence, that is more likely to be novelistic than concerned with telling stories on a short-prose basis, as, one suspects, would be that approach to prose fiction that is properly complementary to aphoristic philosophy. However, whether 'long' or 'short, the philosophy would be male and concerned primarily with truth, the subjective impression of male ego and/or soul, whereas the prose would be pseudo-female and primarily concerned, lacking a capacity in the male-hegemonic circumstances for fact, with fiction, being the pseudo-objective expression of pseudo-female pseudo-spirit and/or pseudo-will.
Thus a broad distinction in literature emerges between the free female fact of drama and the bound male illusion of poetry which contrasts, as sensuality with sensibility, with the free male truth of philosophy and the bound female fiction of prose - a pseudo-male incapacity for truth under female hegemonic fact making for falsity (and hence poetry) no less certainly than a pseudo-female incapacity for fact under male hegemonic truth makes for fiction (and hence prose).
I shall say little at this point of gender-bender cross-overs from poetry into drama and from philosophy into prose, the former sensually up and the latter sensibly down a plane, but clearly most such cross-overs have been the result, traditionally, of male perversity and ambition which, particularly in the case of drama-loving poets, would constitute the worst form of literary crime!
As I tend to distinguish the northwest from the southwest in terms of metachemistry and pseudo-metaphysics (from out of antimetaphysics) vis-a-vis chemistry and pseudo-physics (from out of antiphysics), I will allow for a noumenal contrast between elemental particles and pseudo-elemental wavicles in respect of the former pairing and for a phenomenal contrast between molecular particles and pseudo-molecular wavicles in respect of the latter pairing, the former commensurate with will and pseudo-soul, the latter with spirit and pseudo-ego.
Therefore in literary terms a distinction between the short (elemental particle) drama of metachemical will and the short (pseudo-elemental wavicle) poetry of pseudo-metaphysical pseudo-soul must be contrasted with the long (molecular particle) drama of chemical spirit and the long (pseudo-molecular wavicle) poetry of pseudo-physical pseudo-ego, with female and pseudo-male distinctions in each category relative to the noumenal/phenomenal dichotomy that exists between the northwest and southwest points of the intercardinal axial compass.

ON THE SUBJECT OF BLESSEDNESS
The notion of God blessing oneself or others is false, since deriving from 'bovarized' notions of God which owe nothing to metaphysics, the elemental context of soul par excellence in which ego has no other business than to get itself, as something godly, into heaven. One might say that God is blessed with Heaven or, put differently, the grace of godly truth is blessed with the holiness of heavenly joy. That is it and that is all it ever could be, in truth.
Hence the graceful truth of metaphysical ego, which is godly, is blessed with the holy joy of metaphysical soul, which is heavenly, and therefore God the Father is blessed with Heaven the Holy Soul. It is even true to say that God the Son is blessed with the Holy Spirit of Heaven, since what metaphysically applies to free psyche also applies to its male gender corollary in bound soma, except that here it is the wisdom of metaphysical will, which is son-of-godly, that is blessed with the holy woe of metaphysical spirit, which is the heavenliness of metaphysical not-self, the spiritual heavenliness that, in relation to humankind, one could identify with the breath as against, for anything son-of-godly, the lungs. Therefore, in the bound somatic state-subordinate metaphysical corollary of a church-hegemonic psychic freedom, it could be said that the Son of God is blessed with the Holy Spirit of Heaven, even though such a spiritual heaven is a far cry from the soulful heaven of perfect self-harmony, which is less a thing of the breath issuing from son-of-godly lungs than of the spinal cord to which the self has attained in the transcendence of brain-stem ego.
However that may be - and we should not forget that, with me, psyche preceding soma as male actuality requires the metaphorical association of father preceding son -, metaphysics is the elemental context of most soul, more (in relation to most) ego, less (in relation to least) spirit, and least will, the 'more ego' and 'most soul' constitutive of psychic freedom and the 'less spirit' and 'least will' of somatic binding. And this ratio-like integrity of metaphysics would be true whether the metaphysics was cosmic and least evolved, natural and less (relative to least) evolved, human and more (relative to most) evolved or cyborg (to slightly anticipate the future) and most evolved, the 'most evolved' according with the definitive manifestation of metaphysics in which the holiness of perfect self-harmony will be most developed because not having to contend, as lesser manifestations of metaphysics do and have done in the past, with subversive vitiation at the hands, so to speak, of either metachemical, chemical, or physical 'bovaryizations' of religion - and hence of the concept of godliness - in relation to the Cosmos, nature, and mankind which have tended to marginalize metaphysics and undermine anything approaching true religion from standpoints rooted in either science, politics, or economics, as the prevailing case may be, often with one or more of these 'bovarized' religions prevailing, to different degrees, at once, and therefore further undermining the possibility of metaphysical self-realization.
For, contrary to metaphysics, metachemistry is the elemental context of most will, more (relative to most) spirit, less (relative to least) ego, and least soul, in consequence of which a society dominated by metachemical religion, in materialist/fundamentalist fiery vein, will grant maximum religious prominence to will at the expense of soul and therefore of anything metaphysical.
Similarly, chemistry is the elemental context of most spirit, more (relative to most) will, less (relative to least) soul, and least ego, in consequence of which a society dominated by chemical religion, in realist/nonconformist watery vein, will grant maximum religious prominence to spirit at the expense of ego and therefore of anything physical.
Likewise, physics is the elemental context of most ego, more (relative to most) soul, less (relative to least) will, and least spirit, in consequence of which a society dominated by physical religion, in humanist/naturalist vegetative (or earthy) vein, will grant maximum religious prominence to ego at the expense of spirit and therefore of anything chemical.
Obviously, although, as noted above, metaphysics is the elemental context of most soul, more (relative to most) ego, less (relative to least) spirit, and least will, it won't be able to achieve its definitive manifestation while the 'bovaryized' modes of religion still prevail and assail it from standpoints in which either will, spirit, or ego take precedence over soul. Only when it is fully self-conscious of what it is and of what it must do to reign supreme will it be able to triumph over the false religions of will (cosmic), spirit (natural), and ego (human), thereby inaugurating the age, commensurate with 'kingdom come', of genuine religion, in which everything will be subordinated to the attainment by males of perfect self-harmony in soul for a metaphysics that is beyond not only anything cosmic and natural, but human as well, a metaphysics, in short, which is effectively cyborgistic and therefore fully metaphysical, in the clear from vitiation at the proverbial hands of anything cosmic, natural, or human, unlike its least evolved, less (relative to least) evolved, and more (relative to most) evolved preceding manifestations.
For metaphysics, to repeat, is the elemental context in which the grace of godly truth in metaphysical ego is blessed with the holiness of heavenly joy in metaphysical soul, and self-transcendence from ego to soul, godliness to heavenliness, truth to joy, brain stem to spinal cord, is accordingly a prerequisite of metaphysical perfection. The true God-nurture does not bless others but is content with his own blessedness, which is to be blessed with the joyful redemption of godly ego in heavenly soul, that is to say, in the heavenliness of perfect self-centredness.
This is the destiny of the saintly, which institutionally will require the complementarity of pseudo-metachemical angels whose bound soma and free psyche, conditioned by metaphysical pressures, will nonetheless be at variance with the free psyche and bound soma of the metaphysical, since reflective of a female rather than male ratio of noumenal absolutism, as described by me in other writings, not least those associated with my philosophy-proper, whereby soma will always predominate over psyche and due attention must therefore be paid to the neutralization of will and spirit in relation to soma if a degree of free ego and soul is to materialize as the secondary church-hegemonic complement of the metaphysical ego and soul reigning a plane above in what would be time over pseudo-space, eternity over pseudo-infinity, like St George with his foot on the prostrate form of a slain dragon commensurate, in tight dress-like vein, with what is properly angelic.
But such angels are not blessed with gender sync, like their male counterparts, but are decidedly counter-cursed with the bound soma and free psyche of what results from a male hegemonic control. For the blessedness of the metaphysical can only be maintained at the expense of the cursedness, or, in relation to church-hegemonic axial criteria, counter-cursedness of the pseudo-metachemical. That which, in metaphysics, has been saved from the world of pseudo-physics is destined to prevail over the counter-damnation of the chemical to pseudo-metachemistry. Such is the logic of deliverance of the sinful/foolish meek and pseudo-criminal/pseudo-evil pseudo-vain from their worldly phenomenality to the otherworldly and pseudo-netherworldly noumenality of the graceful/wise righteous and the pseudo-punished/pseudo-good pseudo-just.
Hence the graceful truth of metaphysical ego, which is godly, is blessed with the holy joy of metaphysical soul, which is heavenly, and therefore God the Father is blessed with Heaven the Holy Soul. It is even true to say that God the Son is blessed with the Holy Spirit of Heaven, since what metaphysically applies to free psyche also applies to its male gender corollary in bound soma, except that here it is the wisdom of metaphysical will, which is son-of-godly, that is blessed with the holy woe of metaphysical spirit, which is the heavenliness of metaphysical not-self, the spiritual heavenliness that, in relation to humankind, one could identify with the breath as against, for anything son-of-godly, the lungs. Therefore, in the bound somatic state-subordinate metaphysical corollary of a church-hegemonic psychic freedom, it could be said that the Son of God is blessed with the Holy Spirit of Heaven, even though such a spiritual heaven is a far cry from the soulful heaven of perfect self-harmony, which is less a thing of the breath issuing from son-of-godly lungs than of the spinal cord to which the self has attained in the transcendence of brain-stem ego.

ALE AND STOUT
Anyone familiar with my philosophy will know that I distinguish the southwest from the southeast points of the intercardinal axial compass on the basis of an equivocal female hegemony in chemistry over an upended male position of antiphysics-cum-pseudo-physics (which from now on we shall simply refer to as pseudo-physics) from an equivocal male hegemony in physics over an upended female position of antichemistry-cum-pseudo-chemistry (which shall likewise be simplified to pseudo-chemistry), thus in effect distinguishing water over pseudo-earth (or pseudo-vegetation) from earth (or vegetation) over pseudo-water or, in vulgar parlance, piss over pseudo-shit from shit over pseudo-piss, the former pairing akin, in sartorial terms, to a flouncy skirt over flared pants and the latter akin to tapering pants over a tapering skirt, as though in a distinction, generally speaking, between sensuality and sensibility or, more correctly, sensuality and pseudo-sensibility on the one hand, and sensibility and pseudo-sensuality on the other, the centrifugal and the centripetal, a context governed by objectivity in female vein and one governed, in male vein, by subjectivity, even if the respective lower-plane positions have to be more representatively characterized as pseudo-subjective and pseudo-objective in keeping with their gender orientations.
So what does all this have to do with ale and stout beers? Let me answer that query in the following way. Taking our gender and sartorial parallels from the above, we should be able to argue, with some justification and overlooking for the moment populist notions that would tend to intuitively confirm this, that bottles parallel skirts and cans parallel pants (or jeans), since bottles tend to be transparent (and water-affirming) whereas cans are somewhat opaque (and earthy), a distinction, after all, between female and male criteria. Therefore we should be able to distinguish bottles over cans on the one hand, that of the southwest point of the intercardinal axial compass, from cans over bottles on the other hand, that of the southeast point of the said compass, as though in a distinction, once again, between flared skirts and flared pants vis-a-vis tapering pants and tapering skirts.
But what is it, you may wonder, that leads one to infer a flared or a tapering parallel to the respective types of bottles and cans? Not necessarily the shape of the bottle or can, nor even of the top or widget. What seems to satisfy this requirement is less the medium in which beer is stored than the nature of the beer itself, i.e. whether it lends itself to a watery (piss) or to an earthy (shit) correlation, which, so far as I am concerned, is precisely the distinction between light ale and/or lager and stout and/or brown ale, to simplify the options.
In other words, chemistry over pseudo-physics = bottled light ale over canned light ale, whereas physics over pseudo-chemistry = canned stout over bottled stout, the former pairing exemplifying the overall influence of female criteria and the latter ... that of males, as, I would argue, would that between lager and brown ale.
Therefore a female-dominated distinction between, for instance, bottled light ale and canned light ale has to be distinguished from a male-dominated distinction between canned stout and bottled stout, the former pairing susceptible to identification with flared phenomenal (relative as opposed, like say dresses to absolute) clothing and the latter to what tapers as though from the hegemony not of water (piss) but of earthiness (shit).
Now what is particularly interesting about this finding, if I may so put it, is that traditionally the southwest point of the intercardinal axial compass, in which volume is hegemonic over pseudo-mass, would be identifiable, in overall axial terms, with church-hegemonic (catholic) criteria, whereas the southeast point of the said compass, in which mass is hegemonic over pseudo-volume, would be identifiable, in overall axial terms, with state-hegemonic (puritan or protestant) criteria, which is also, as far as these lower-order points of the axes in question are concerned, to make a distinction between Gaelic football and Association football, since the traditional noumenal, or upper-order, poles to these points tend to encompass hurling in the catholic case and rugby in the protestant one, where the religious correlations would be rather more Roman Catholic with, certainly in Eire, an Old English rather than Gaelic connotation and, in England and Britain generally, Anglican rather than Puritan.
Be that as it may, the British Isles has long been a rather paradoxical place, where people tend to be at cross-purposes with themselves in so many contexts, not least in terms of beer-drinking habits, which has seen people of Irish Catholic descent traditionally favouring stout (the beer of the parliamentary/puritan southeast point of the intercardinal axial compass) and people of English Protestant, if not puritan, descent favouring ale, not least in its light or lager-like manifestation, which, as I have argued, is relative to the catholic southwest point of the said compass and not at all to anything dominated, in physical fashion, by male criteria.
So not only is it paradoxical but extremely ironic that so many Catholic Irish should identify their beer-drinking habits with an English-derived beer while many of their English and even British counterparts favour light ale or lager, as if it connoted with something puritan and male! I think I have shown, with correlations based in a degree of logic, that this is simply not the case, and I could also add to the misery of these 'where ignorance is bliss' people by pointing out that, in overall elemental terms, rock 'n' roll connotes with the catholic, or lapsed catholic, southwest point of the intercardinal axial compass while classical, not least in a strings-oriented symphonic mode, connotes with the protestant if not puritan southeast, and therefore with all that is axially contrary, on phenomenal (lower order) terms to female hegemonic criteria. Put simply, the southwest is about spirit and pseudo-ego, while the southeast is about ego and pseudo-spirit. This is precisely the distinction between chemistry and pseudo-physics on the one hand, and physics and pseudo-chemistry on the other, our flared skirt and pants pairing vis-a-vis their tapering counterparts in pants and skirts. So light ale is - or should be - the beer of piss-drenched singing rock 'n' rollers and stout the beer of shit-tight scroll-reading orchestral bow-scrapers. Wow!
Perhaps we should leave a more detailed examination of the distinctions between light ale and lager on the one hand and stout and brown ale on the other to another time, before things become way too complicated!
So what does all this have to do with ale and stout beers? Let me answer that query in the following way. Taking our gender and sartorial parallels from the above, we should be able to argue, with some justification and overlooking for the moment populist notions that would tend to intuitively confirm this, that bottles parallel skirts and cans parallel pants (or jeans), since bottles tend to be transparent (and water-affirming) whereas cans are somewhat opaque (and earthy), a distinction, after all, between female and male criteria. Therefore we should be able to distinguish bottles over cans on the one hand, that of the southwest point of the intercardinal axial compass, from cans over bottles on the other hand, that of the southeast point of the said compass, as though in a distinction, once again, between flared skirts and flared pants vis-a-vis tapering pants and tapering skirts.
But what is it, you may wonder, that leads one to infer a flared or a tapering parallel to the respective types of bottles and cans? Not necessarily the shape of the bottle or can, nor even of the top or widget. What seems to satisfy this requirement is less the medium in which beer is stored than the nature of the beer itself, i.e. whether it lends itself to a watery (piss) or to an earthy (shit) correlation, which, so far as I am concerned, is precisely the distinction between light ale and/or lager and stout and/or brown ale, to simplify the options.
In other words, chemistry over pseudo-physics = bottled light ale over canned light ale, whereas physics over pseudo-chemistry = canned stout over bottled stout, the former pairing exemplifying the overall influence of female criteria and the latter ... that of males, as, I would argue, would that between lager and brown ale.
Therefore a female-dominated distinction between, for instance, bottled light ale and canned light ale has to be distinguished from a male-dominated distinction between canned stout and bottled stout, the former pairing susceptible to identification with flared phenomenal (relative as opposed, like say dresses to absolute) clothing and the latter to what tapers as though from the hegemony not of water (piss) but of earthiness (shit).
Now what is particularly interesting about this finding, if I may so put it, is that traditionally the southwest point of the intercardinal axial compass, in which volume is hegemonic over pseudo-mass, would be identifiable, in overall axial terms, with church-hegemonic (catholic) criteria, whereas the southeast point of the said compass, in which mass is hegemonic over pseudo-volume, would be identifiable, in overall axial terms, with state-hegemonic (puritan or protestant) criteria, which is also, as far as these lower-order points of the axes in question are concerned, to make a distinction between Gaelic football and Association football, since the traditional noumenal, or upper-order, poles to these points tend to encompass hurling in the catholic case and rugby in the protestant one, where the religious correlations would be rather more Roman Catholic with, certainly in Eire, an Old English rather than Gaelic connotation and, in England and Britain generally, Anglican rather than Puritan.
Be that as it may, the British Isles has long been a rather paradoxical place, where people tend to be at cross-purposes with themselves in so many contexts, not least in terms of beer-drinking habits, which has seen people of Irish Catholic descent traditionally favouring stout (the beer of the parliamentary/puritan southeast point of the intercardinal axial compass) and people of English Protestant, if not puritan, descent favouring ale, not least in its light or lager-like manifestation, which, as I have argued, is relative to the catholic southwest point of the said compass and not at all to anything dominated, in physical fashion, by male criteria.
So not only is it paradoxical but extremely ironic that so many Catholic Irish should identify their beer-drinking habits with an English-derived beer while many of their English and even British counterparts favour light ale or lager, as if it connoted with something puritan and male! I think I have shown, with correlations based in a degree of logic, that this is simply not the case, and I could also add to the misery of these 'where ignorance is bliss' people by pointing out that, in overall elemental terms, rock 'n' roll connotes with the catholic, or lapsed catholic, southwest point of the intercardinal axial compass while classical, not least in a strings-oriented symphonic mode, connotes with the protestant if not puritan southeast, and therefore with all that is axially contrary, on phenomenal (lower order) terms to female hegemonic criteria. Put simply, the southwest is about spirit and pseudo-ego, while the southeast is about ego and pseudo-spirit. This is precisely the distinction between chemistry and pseudo-physics on the one hand, and physics and pseudo-chemistry on the other, our flared skirt and pants pairing vis-a-vis their tapering counterparts in pants and skirts. So light ale is - or should be - the beer of piss-drenched singing rock 'n' rollers and stout the beer of shit-tight scroll-reading orchestral bow-scrapers. Wow!

SARTORIAL PARALLELS TO ST GEORGE AND THE DRAGON DO NOT CHANGE PLACES
In a society that was a combination, St George and the Dragon-like, of metaphysics and antimetchemistry-cum-pseudo-metachemistry, corresponding, in sartorial terms, to tapering zippersuits and tapering dresses, you would not find metaphysics and pseudo-metachemistry changing places, still less would you find the antifemales of antimetachemistry being encouraged to become quasi-metaphysical, since the ratio of soma to psyche with them would be three:one, the reverse of what it would - or should - be for their metaphysical counterparts, the males proper, and therefore instead of three parts truth and joy to one part illusion and woe you would have three parts illusion and woe to one part truth and joy - an unacceptable ratio from the standpoint of the metaphysical proper, since likely to give metaphysics a bad name in relation to what would be the immoral forms of grace and wisdom, with the ratio emphasis decidedly on the latter in quasi-metaphysical guise.
So just as females would not be encouraged to get above themselves - the sartorial parallel for the metaphysical above is of course the zippersuit - in a genuinely metaphysically-led society, so they would be pinned to their rightful position as antimetachemical-cum-pseudo-metachemical corollaries of a metaphysical hegemony, the sartorial mean of this context being a tapering dress. One would not have the hype so often encountered in Western society traditionally, least of all from a standpoint that tends to allow females to play at being God and to assume, with brushed-back hair, subjective pretensions way above, in the event of male dominance, a more befitting anti-objective status. They would be encouraged to know their place and to keep to it. They would be the proverbial Dragon that, duly neutralized, the proverbial Saint has firmly under his foot, in order that the truth and joy of metaphysics can have its way without threat from without, from free females who, unlike their neutralized counterparts, will always seduce males from their Y chromosomal centre through beauty and love (coupled in bound psyche to a degree of ugliness and hate) in the long-term interests of maternal resolution in the world.
In contrast to the neutralized angel who is pseudo-metachemical, pseudo-female, one could say, with beauty and love in free psyche and ugliness and hate in bound soma, the free, or metachemical, female is decidedly the proverbial whore of free soma and bound psyche, with a three:one ratio of beauty and love to ugliness and hate, the positivistic basis of life that accords with the 'increase and multiply' ethos of Devil the Mother hyped as God the Father in Old Testament vein. And just as the angel is led and controlled by the Saint, so the whore holds dominion over the demonic 'fall guy' who is less a devil than an antigod, at least in antimetaphysics; though he can become quasi-metachemical and therefore quasi-devilish if he is of a disposition that prefers to outdo the female at her own game (though this will only be in ugliness and hate) rather than to accept his subordinate place in what we can describe as a pseudo-metaphysical position under metachemistry wherein truth and joy become identified with free soma and illusion and woe with bound psyche, the reverse, in other words, of the metaphysical position proper, and one whose ratio of three:one will favour the illusion and woe of bound psyche even as metachemical pressure from above is encouraging him to identify, falsely, with the truth and joy of free soma, a paradox that, in quasi-metachemical guise, becomes one part beauty and love to three parts ugliness and hate in the immoral forms of evil and crime, with a gender emphasis, as noted, on crime.
Be that as it may, a sensibly led society will never encourage people to identify with anything metachemical or antimetaphysical-cum-pseudo-metaphysical, still less quasi-metachemical, wherein sartorial distinctions between flouncy dresses and flared zipper- or boiler-suits would - or should - be the mean, since its own commitment, if noumenal, to metaphysics and antimetachemistry-cum-pseudo-metachemistry will ensure the opposite - namely, as stated above, a kind of tapering zippersuit vis-a-vis tapering dress sartorial mean in which the saintly are hegemonically in control of the angelic, like St George over the Dragon which, if prostrate and therefore pseudo-metachemically neutralized, will correspond to the angelic tapering-dress pseudo-female whose prostration is the guarantee of metaphysical freedom for the male.
Such a society, which I have long identified with 'Kingdom Come' and construe as exemplifying religious sovereignty as the ultimate form of sovereignty that the people of certain countries, avowedly church-hegemonic traditionally, will have to be given the opportunity of voting for in relation to a paradoxical utilization of the democratic process, can only be one in which the metaphysical and the antimetachemical-cum-pseudo-metachemical will begin the process of saving the antiphysical-cum-pseudo-physical and counter-damning the chemical, or delivering from the southwest point of the intercardinal axial compass to the northeast point of it those who would otherwise continue to languish, morally and culturally, under metachemical and antimetaphysical-cum-pseudo-metaphysical pressures, thereby hastening the day when their deliverance will be so permanent and irreversible (supra-human) that the others will be put out of business for want of sufficient prey and come crashing down their own axis, northwest to southeast on the intercardinal axial compass, to join those who had formerly financed their exemplifications of somatic license, namely the antichemical-cum-pseudo-chemical and the physical. Other changes will have to follow but, eventually, even they will find the prospect of axial transference and, with due modifications, salvation and counter-damnation from the southwest to the northeast points of the said compass attractive, if only because they will have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
But that is getting a long way ahead of myself and of this particular weblog. Let me repeat its principal contention: that the saintly and angelic of the metaphysical/pseudo-metachemical northeast point of the intercardinal axial compass are as far removed, in noumenal (or space/time) terms from the whorish and demonic of the northwest point ... as it is noumenally possible to be, and that the saintly is no less likely to be male and the angelic pseudo-female than the whorish is female and the demonic pseudo-male. Alpha and omega, to speak in general terms, are absolutely incommensurate, appertaining to different axes, the former state-hegemonic and the latter church-hegemonic, and therefore they remain as hegemonically far apart as evil/crime and grace/wisdom, both of which are moral in their opposite ways - the evil/crime metachemically so and the grace/wisdom metaphysically so, with a paired distinction, in consequence, between superheathen/subchristian vanity and superchristian/subheathen righteousness or, put in equivalent terms, supersensuous/subconscious vanity and superconscious/subsensuous righteousness, the moral vanity of the clear and the moral righteousness of the holy, the former female and the latter male.
Between those extremes there is no mutual respect, no seeing eye to eye, because it is a gender distinction, fundamentally, between the beauty and love of evil (coupled, on a subordinate ratio basis, to the ugliness and hatred of crime) and the truth and joy of grace (coupled, on a subordinate ratio basis, to the illusion and woe of wisdom), with Mother/Daughter vanity at alpha odds with Father/Son righteousness. Only the complete triumph, with 'Kingdom Come', of the latter can put an end to the former's reign. Only the saintly god and angelic pseudo-devil can 'see off' the whorish devil and demonic pseudo-god, but to do so they must save and counter-damn like never before; for the antiphysical-cum-pseudo-physical 'last' (under chemistry) must become the metaphysical 'first' (over antimetachemistry-cum-pseudo-metachemistry) if deliverance from the alpha-dominated world is truly to obtain, a deliverance rendered all the more imperative in view of what takes advantage of it not only in its immediate vicinity (i.e. the chemically hegemonic) but from the standpoint of what rules the other axis, the secular fruit, in this day and age, of the schismatic heresy that first spawned state-hegemonic criteria and gave rein to the aforementioned exemplification of somatic license which is everywhere the primary servant of the superheathen virtue of beauty and love which is the vanity of moral evil and born enemy of moral grace.
So just as females would not be encouraged to get above themselves - the sartorial parallel for the metaphysical above is of course the zippersuit - in a genuinely metaphysically-led society, so they would be pinned to their rightful position as antimetachemical-cum-pseudo-metachemical corollaries of a metaphysical hegemony, the sartorial mean of this context being a tapering dress.
