(Oxford Dictionary). • bastardy (n.; archaic): the condition of being a bastard; illegitimacy. ~ (Collins English Dictionary). • bastardy (n.): 1.1. the state of being a bastard, or begotten and born out of lawful wedlock; [e.g.]: “I would, false murderous coward, on thy knee | Make thee beg pardon for thy passed speech, | And say it was thy mother that thou meant’st | That thou thyself was born in bastardy”. (Shakespeare, “2 Henry VI.”, iii. 2); “The Cliffords take from me that Name of theirs, | Which hath beene famous for so many yeeres: | They blot my Birth with hateful Bastardie, | That I sprang not from their Nobilitie; | They my alliance utterly refuse, | Nor will a Strumpet shall their Name abuse”.

Oxford Thesaurus beg the question (idiom): 1. to assume to be true what one is purporting to prove in an argument; 2. to call to mind a question in a discussion; invite or provoke a question; (usage note): historically, logicians and philosophers have used the phrase beg the question to mean “to put forward an argument whose conclusion is already assumed as a premise”; usually, when people beg the question in this sense, the conclusion and the assumed premise are put in slightly different words, which tends to obscure the fact that such an argument is logically meaningless; for instance, to argue that “caviar tastes better than peanut butter because caviar has a superior flavour” is to beg the question—the premise that is taken as given (that caviar’s flavour is superior) is essentially identical to the point it is intended to prove (that caviar tastes better); but since at least the early 1900s, laypeople have been using beg the question in slightly different senses, to mean “raise a relevant question” or “leave a relevant question unanswered”; when used in these senses, beg the question is usually followed by a clause explaining what the question in question is, as in “That article begs the question of whether we should build a new school or renovate the old one” or “The real estate listing claims that the kitchen is spacious, which begs the question of what ‘spacious’ means”; these senses of beg the question are so well established that they have nearly displaced the original sense in everyday usage, but they are still often frowned on by traditionalists, especially those with training in philosophy. ~ (American Heritage Dictionary).

Bizarrerie: Bizarro, history: The history of Bizarro, the defective replica of Superman, is as craggy as the creature’s disfigured face. While the layperson or contemporary fan might regard Bizarro as the doppelgänger of the Man of Steel, this tragic character first appeared in “The Adventures of Superman When He Was a Boy”, DC Comics’ Superboy № 68 (1958), written by Otto Binder and illustrated by George Papp. In that tale, Superboy observes the unsuccessful trial run of Smallville scientist Professor Dalton’s duplicator. Not only is Prof. Dalton a failure as an inventor, he is clumsy, too—he stumbles into his machine, causing it to bathe the Boy of Steel in radiation. And thus is born a (cracked) mirror image of Superboy, a jagged-complexioned, childlike duplicate who dubs himself “Bizarro” after Superboy gasps, “Gosh, that creature is bizarre!” Possessing all of the Boy of Steel’s remarkable abilities—except for his grammar whereby Bizarro substitutes “Me” for “I” (“Me am Bizarro” is one of the most famous catchphrases to spring from comics into the American vernacular)—this super-powered cipher blunders through the streets of Smallville looking for acceptance (“Why no one like Me?”), inadvertently instigating panic. (...). Editor Mort Weisinger quickly realised that Bizarro better served the Superman franchise as a comedic character—and as a Bizarro society. This uncanny race resided on the Bizarro World, a square-shaped planet where its inhabitants followed a peculiar code of conduct: “Us do opposite of all earthly things! Us hate beauty! Us love ugliness! Is big crime to make anything perfect on Bizarro World!” Beginning with Adventure Comics № 285 (1961), “Tales of the Bizarro World” graduated into its own series, with Jerry Siegel, the co-creator of Superman, taking over as writer from Otto Binder and with John Forte as artist, running monthly in the title through issue № 299 (1962). (...). Bizarro’s
widest claim to fame was screenwriter David Mandel’s “The Bizarro Jerry”, an immensely
popular episode in Season Eight of the long-running sitcom ‘Seinfeld’ (1990-1998). While comic-book references were common in the series,
David Mandel’s teleplay was structured around the “reverse image” Bizarro
template: Elaine encountered kind-hearted counterparts to the spiteful Jerry, George, and
Kramer. Jerry’s dialogue expounds the writer’s—and actor Jerry Seinfeld’s—love for
the super-miscreant: “Up is down. Down is up. He says ‘hello’ when he leaves, ‘goodbye’
when he arrives”. ~ (from “The Supervillain
Book: The Evil Side of Comics and Hollywood”; ©2006 Visible Ink Press®). black-a-vised (adj.): of a complexion tending toward brown or black; (synonyms): dark, dusky, swarthy, bistered⁽⁰¹⁾, brunet⁽⁰²⁾. ~ (American Heritage Roget’s Thesaurus). ⁽⁰¹⁾bistered (adj.): coloured with or as if with bister; (=a water-soluble brownish-yellow pigment made by boiling wood soot). ~ (Princeton’s WordNet 3.0). ⁽⁰²⁾brunet (adj.): marked by dark or relatively dark pigmentation of hair or

the windpipe meets the head at the underside of the jaw, corresponding to where the eponymous part of a bridle
goes), a generally desirable conformation (i.e., evaluation) trait; bridle paths are a common style of grooming in
the United States, but are not seen as often in Europe. ~ (2023 Wikipedia
Encyclopaedia). The Third Alternative (Peace On Earth In This Life Time As This Flesh And Blood Body) Here is an actual freedom from the Human Condition, surpassing Spiritual Enlightenment and any other Altered State Of Consciousness, and challenging all philosophy, psychiatry, metaphysics (including quantum physics with its mystic cosmogony), anthropology, sociology ... and any religion along with its paranormal theology. Discarding all of the beliefs that have held humankind in thralldom for aeons, the way has now been discovered that cuts through the ‘Tried and True’ and enables anyone to be, for the first time, a fully free and autonomous individual living in utter peace and tranquillity, beholden to no-one.
