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!
