Oh great, now you've done it Eebster (the poor guy's head is gonna explode).


Hey, Derrida isn't too hard. All he is saying is that absolute positive obligations lead to infinite regress and aporia since we cannot simultaneously satisfy the absolute obligations to the Other and to all the other Others.

Or something like that. :)

Kurogkug, that post has absolutely nothing to do with strategy, except to the extent that an effective policymaking strategy should not employ absolute positive obligations.

 

Have I made things better? Tongue out

But he's already spent over a year on "strategic"...I can just see him now thumbing forlornly through the Webster's trying to find "infinite regress" (actually, that's probably why his time is running out).


I thought we had established that there was no "solution" to this thread. 28 pages and he's still trying to figure out what strategy is. He's obviously a troll.

That said, I do want to see this game finish. If I'm stopping that, I guess that sucks.

strategy = what to do

tactics = how to do

to kurogkug:

try this one: what is the corect way to walk with two legs?

(You have to be stable and to move at the same time)

What do you think?

TheGrobe

Kurogkog, strategy is a noun that basically means overarching plan:

strat⋅e⋅gy

[strat-i-jee]

–noun, plural -gies.

1.  The science or art of combining and employing the means of war in planning and directing large military movements and operations.
2. the use or an instance of using this science or art.
3. skillful use of a stratagem: The salesperson's strategy was to seem always to agree with the customer.
4. a plan, method, or series of maneuvers or stratagems for obtaining a specific goal or result: a strategy for getting ahead in the world.

 

Strategic, on the other hand, is an adjective that is used to modify other nouns and indicate that the relate to a strategy.  In the case of your sentence, the noun being modified is "importance", but more to the point in that sentence, it's the capture of the island that fits into a strategy:

stra⋅te⋅gic

/strəˈtidʒɪk/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [struh-tee-jik]

–adjective

1. pertaining to, characterized by, or of the nature of strategy: strategic movements.
2. important in or essential to strategy.
3. (of an action, as a military operation or a move in a game) forming an integral part of a stratagem: a strategic move in a game of chess.
4. Military.
a. intended to render the enemy incapable of making war, as by the destruction of materials, factories, etc.: a strategic bombing mission.
b. essential to the conduct of a war: Copper is a strategic material.

My objective is to help you understand the difference between the words "strategy" and "strategic".

My strategy is to use examples of the use of these words in sentences to which you can hopefully releate.

It is of strategic importance that I do so as clearly and concisely as possible in order to ensure that you are able to understand them.

taots_11

thanks the grobe, now i know what is strategy means but im not done with the word strategic.so you said that ''its of strategic importance i do so as clearly and concisely as possible in order to ensure that you are able to understand them'',is this means that you need a strategy or you need and it is importance to create a strategy to teach me so that i understand it?.i wait again to your response the grobe.

TheGrobe

No, that sentence taken alone only tells you that I have a strategy.

If that were the only sentence I'd uttered you'd be able to tell that I had a strategy, but not what it was.  My strategy is not to be clear and concise but rather being clear and concise is important to the success of my strategy.  I might even say that it's of strategic importance that I'm clear and concise.

It would probably also be important that I'm clear and concise even if I didn't have a strategy.  In that case I would probably just say that it's important that I'm clear and concise.  Notice the absence of the word "strategic" here.  It doesn't necessarily mean that I don't have a strategy, but based on that sentence you can't tell for certain that I do.

Actually I'm impressed that anyone who finds the words "strategy" and 'strategic" so challenging could get to move 6.

An example of Borgqueen's use of a stratagem was to exploit the quiescent temperament of the c2 pawn postliminary the unintentional strategic displacement of the knight on b1. Subsequently his savvy perspicacity of strategic weakness enabled him to administer a tactical motif through strategic modus operandi.

thanks the grobe.okay im getting confuse about this.let me make this simple okay?.lets concentrate first the two words in the sentences so that i can understand it.the sentence is ''its of strategic importance that we capture this island so that we can land our b-52 bomers and refuel it.so my question is is the word ''strategic'' in the sentence is modify the word importance in the sentence or not?.

TheGrobe

You need to read more carefully.  This question has been answered several times!  I can't make the font bigger, bolder or redder.


Actually I think you can, just type it into Microsoft Word and change the font colour and size. The only thing is that all these random numbers come up underneath, you'll see.

TheGrobe

Bigger I get, but how much redder do fonts come?
