Opposites Embedded in Our Minds
I’ve been exploring how these ‘opposites’ (pagan Russia posing as protector of Christianity/Paleo-Male societies; vaccines not virus promoted as the cause of virus-induced disease; MAGA as generator of greatness for America, when truly it its nadir; …) are used and get embedded into our minds. Cultural Psychology’s focus on the Laws of Sympathetic Magic (particularly the Law of Contagion and the Law of Opposites (or as Levi-Strauss articulated a similar insight the Law of Association). It’s early days yet a fruitful sector for research but stay tuned!

A research-frontier passage that connects War Magic to Cultural Psychology’s Laws of Sympathetic Magic. The author catalogues three archetypal opposites: pagan Russia as Christian protector, vaccines as disease cause, MAGA as greatness when it is nadir. Each operates through the Law of Opposites — presenting the precise inversion of reality as truth. The reference to Levi-Strauss’s Law of Association provides scholarly grounding. This passage shows the author’s framework evolving in real time, bridging anthropology and information warfare.
