Causal chaining allows 




@MetaphorMagnet to 




blend the norms of two 



concepts with differing 




affect profiles to achieve 




a surprising what-if 



whole. Consider Artists: 




(I used to be an artist!)












By chaining KB triples together, a machine can observe 




that artists typically cause a positive effect on the arts. 




Seeing that critics can have a negative effect on arts, 




and dictators have a negative effect on their critics ...









... @MetaphorMagnet reasons that dictators can have 




the same positive effect on the arts as artists! This is 




sophistry as ‘critic’ is used in two differing senses, but 




in this what-if blend, Artists become like Dictators!
