The new MTG colour wheel: Yellow, Orange, Brown, Pink, Purple


The alternative Magic the Gathering (MTG) colour wheel seemingly invented by Wizard of the Coast. This looks like based on the modern world version unlike the traditional colour wheel based on the ancient-medieval fantasy world.

From this site:
http://www.gatheringmagic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=21536

Yellow: Efficiency - Weenies, burn, untap effects and temporary acceleration.
Purple: Manipulation - Tap effects, spell redirection, shifts of control, unblockability.
Orange: Natural forces - Equalisation, destruction, recursion, fights a war of attrition.
Brown: Machinery - Acceleration, fatties, tutoring, small components forming something much greater.
Pink: Being FABULOUS. Uh, I mean, Community - P/T boosts, card draw, protection and prevention.

Purple(P)- Basic Land: Rift
Pink(K) - Basic Land: Cottage
Orange(O) - Basic Land: Dune
Brown(E) - Basic Land: Canyon
Yellow(L) - Basic Land: Stormcloud

I also have once thought of making the alternative Magic The Gathering Set (MTGS) based on the version based on the real world in the modern time period, instead of the traditional versions of MTGS based on the ancient-medieval age and/or a fantasy world. However, the problem was that characteristics of creatures, artifacts, and spells of the real modern world would not match with the 5 colours shown in the MTGS colour wheel. So, eventually, we need to create an alternative MTGS 5 colour wheel matching with the characteristics of the modern world. When I was surfing the web, I found the new colour wheel which matches with the characteristics of the modern world. I am not sure if the MTGS cards have been already created by following this new colour wheel. So, the disruptions mentioned below are just my imagination if I would create the MTGS cards by following the new characteristics of these colours.


My own interpretation is as follows:

Yellow: Efficiency - Economics, Finance, Marketing,
Purple: Manipulation - Natural Science (Physics, Chemistory, Biology)
Orange: Natural forces - Theology, Patriotism, Royalty
Brown: Machinery - Engineering, Bureauctacy,
Pink: Being FABULOUS. Uh, I mean, Community - Paganism, Emotion


Also, the list of the political theories and theoriests compared to these 5 colours is as follows:

Yellow: Efficiency - Individualist, Rationalist, Classical Liberalist, Objectivist: Hobbes, Adam Smith, Ayn Rand

This one was easy to think which ideologies and theoriest to fit in with the colour characteristics. Yellow regards highly of indivdiualism, dynaminism, and rational egoism. So, Rationalism invented by Thomas Hobbes (Rational decision making and Moral Relativism), Classical Liberalism started from Great Britain in 18th century and Objectivism invented in 20th century are this category.


Purple: Manipulation - Idealist, Scientist: Spinoza, Da Vinch, Kant, Hegel, Einstein

This colour group supports a strong idealism (Nothing is impossible), unlimitted progress of technology, and optimism about further evolution of human-beings and their surrounding environment. It does not focus on the development artificially encouraged by a collective method: It devotes in the development encouraged knowledge of individuals and scientific discovery. Many "scientists" join Purple because they always seek the "unknown truth" and optimistic about technological advancement by humans' autonomous will. Spinoza's philosophy of believing in making a decision and moral judgement by logical deduction should be categolised into this group. Kant and Hegel challenged to seek an unknown ideal which has not been thought as possible in human minds and human community. So, both the philosophy of Kant and Hegel belongs to Purple.


Orange: Natural forces - Realist, Cultural-Conservativist, Nationalist, Religious Force: Aquinas, Burke, Islamic

Orange is pessimistic about secularism, the idea to rely on the completely autonomic will of human-beings, and development in general. This group put emphasis on need of God, tradition, and/or royalty to a sovereign. Also, this insists on balance and moderation in the reality.


Brown: Machinery - Collectivist, Mercantilist, Communist, Syndicalist: Walpole, Marx, Lenin, Mao-Zedong, Castro, Labour party

This group puts emphasis on "control", "command", and "collective method". Brown regards everything should work as though they are parts of a giantic machinary, and never regards people as individuals. Brown likes using advanged technologies but has a poor ability to inovate new technologies themselves. The group of Brown believe in the power of group and homogeneousity rather than individual, freedom, liberty, autonomy, and uniqueness. Brown also relies on a heavy bureaucratic structure. The quantity is power, so the bureaucracy which keeps the big quantity of people and machinaries working together.


Pink: Hippie, Utopianist, Romantist, Counter-culture, and many not politically involved ones: Paganist, Buddhist, Tolstoy, Gandhi, Hippies, and many ordinary girls and women

Well, those who belong to Pink are emotionalist rather than thinker. Majority of the Western philosophies do not fit in with what Pink regards highly of. Furthermore, it demonstrates a strong feminity (Different from Feminism) in its idea. Girls and women in all over the world may think as this group does.




Yellow is what I would like to be and my own political theory is closest to. Brown is my least favourable group, and completely opposing to my philosophy. But, I have sympathy to Pink, and I have been supported by those who would believe in Pink's characteristics. I like the balance which Orange insists on, and the community Orange forms might produce me a good security of life. Nonetheless, Purple's secularism attracts me more than Orange's conservativism. All in all, I would categorise myself to be "between Purple and Yellow" which is completely opposing to Brown, and different from but sympathetic to Pink and Orange.

Greek and Eurozone Fiscal Crisis compared to Water Plumbing and Supply

The Eurozone shares one big primary water pumping engine, and all member countries replaced their old primary water pump from their own well with the auxiliary pumping engine drugging the water from the ECM primary pumping engine. Therefore, they now share only one well of the water.

The Greek plumbing system used to rely on the big but old engine which drains a huge amount of the water from her well. But her pipe, connecting from the pumping engine to those who need the water, has got many geographic barriers (curves, hills, rivers, seas, bays, etc) to run the water faster and many water leakages as well. The Greek water supply system used to cover such a supply inefficiency by the power of her own pumping engine.

Nowadays, as pipes are connected to not only inside Greece but also the other Eurozone. So, the Eurozone nations decided to share one brand water pumping engine supplying the entire Eurozone nations. They only remained their auxiliary pumping engine (Fiscal policy) in their own countries. As Greece has taken her own primary pumping engine, and has to now rely on the water supply coming from the primary pumping engine, the volume of the water she is able to drug up to her people has been lowered since they change the entire water supply system. As the water comes from such a far away, the inefficient Greek pipe system with an old inefficient auxiliary pumping engine cannot make the water reach to the entire parts.

The current Greek problem is that her auxiliary engine is overheated due to the lack of the water reaching to Greece. In order to solve this problem, a well trained professional plumber from the ECB has to conduct to replace the water pipe connecting between the ECB and Greece, and the auxiliary engine has to be replaced rather than repaired. Furthermore, because all the Eurozone nations still use their old auxiliary pumping engine whose is not well compatible with the one new primary water pumping engine. Thus, all the old auxiliary pumping engines should be replaced with the new one compatible with the one shared primary pumping engine, and Greek plumbing has to be replaced with the modern ones (Not only the new tough pipes but also the straightened (digging the whole into hills and mountains and make them strong enough to stretch above and inside river, sea, and bay instead of making a lot of curves) the shape of them)!!

2+2=5

In the world of Mathe (Its a priori is "Axiom"), 2+2=5 is wrong.
In the world of nature (Its a priori is "Fact"), if we apply mathe to measure the fact, 2+2=5 is false so it requires a re-examination.

By contrast, in the world of words (Logic, Social Science, History, and Law), the story is different from these previously mentioned worlds.

When there are two individuals, A and B, A*B is considered as the public/community composed of the individualities, A and B. Thus, in the world of words, there is always an incidentally created component which cannot be explained by either Mathe rule or natural science.


In econometrics, when we run the regression analysis based on these symbolic logic algebra, the formula should be


Y = β_0 + β_1 * A +  β_2 * B + β_3 * (A*B)

Let's denote the dependent valuable "Y" is the sum of utility of A and B and the public/community A*B. 
β_0 is an intercept which can be explained as neither A nor B.
β_1 is a coefficient of the individual A,
β_2 is a coefficient of the individual B,
and then β_3 is a coefficient of the public/community A*B. 



A union of "A" and "B" produces "A", "B", and "A*B" (The intercept of A and B). When both "A" and "B" contain a quantity of 2 in itself, and "A*B" contains a quantity of 1, then (A=2)+(B=2)=A+B+A*B=2+2+1=5.

When "A∪B = "A+B-(A∩B)" is described as an arithmetric function "A+B+(A*B)", Let Y the answer for "A∪B" = "A+B-(A∩B)" = "A+B+(A*B)",
∀ Y ∈ ( X_1, X_2, X_3 ),
∃ i ∈ (1,2,3), and ∀ X_i ∈ (0, 1),

∀ A ∈ ( X_1, X_2, X_3 )
∀ B ∈ ( X_1, X_2, X_3 )

Then, A∈(0. 1) and also B∈(0, 1),

For example,
A_i ∈ ( 1, 1, 0 ) = 2
B_i ∈ ( 0, 1, 1) =2 ,
then
A*B ∈ ( 0, 1, 0 ) =1


When A=2, B=2,
Y = A + B = 2 + 2 =
"A∪B = "A+B-(A∩B)" = "A+B+(A*B)"= 2 + 2 + 1 = 5 
∴ 2 + 2 = 5
