A notion in logic and philosophy is a reflection in the mind of realobjects and phenomena in their essential features and relations. Notions are usually described in terms of scope (sphere) and content. This is because notions are often created in response to empiricalobservations (or experiments) of covarying trends among variables.
Notion is the common translation for Begriff as used by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel in his Science of Logic (1812–16).
Primitive notion[edit]
A primitive notion is used in logic or mathematics as an undefined term or concept at the foundation of an axiomatic system to be constructed.
However, in philosophy the term 'primitive notion' has historical content. For example, Gottfried Leibniz wrote De Alphabeto Cogitationum Humanarum (English: An Alphabet for Human Thought). Jaap Maat (2004) reviewed Leibniz for Philosophical Languages of the 17th Century. According to Leibniz, 'The alphabet of human thought is a catalogue of primitive notions, or those we cannot render clearer by any definitions.' Maat explains, 'a thing which is known without other intermediate notions can be considered to be primitive,' and further, 'a primitive notion is said to be conceived through itself'.
Another example is in the Meditations of René Descartes:
- I think that there are certain primitive notions in us which are like originals. There are very few such notions. For apart from the most general notions of being, number, duration, etc which apply to everything that we can conceive, we have only the notion of extension that is specifically for the body, and from that flow the notions of shape and movement; and for the soul on its own we have only the concept of thought, which includes perceptions of the understanding and inclinations of the will. Finally, for the body and soul together, we have only the concept of their union, on which depends the notion of the soul's power to move the body and the body's power to act on the soul by causing its sensations and passions.[1]
'[Descartes'] claim that mind-body unity is a primitive notion on a par with the primitive notions of thinking and extended substance...'[2]

'Shame on the misguided, the blinded, the distracted and the divided. Shame. You have allowed deceptive men to corrupt and desensitize your hearts and minds to unethically fuel their greed.'
~ Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem
Leadership? What a curious term for any intelligent man to utter. How many times throughout my life have I listened to the masses clamoring for someone to lead them? Actually, the most prevalent attitude amongst the people is a desire to find the best ‘leader,' and the epitome of this phenomenon is the ludicrous idea of voting. This process is continuous, and stretches from the heights of the presidency to the choosing of the local dogcatcher. It seems that the quest of men is to not rely on their best judgment or even on their moral beliefs, but to seek out others to follow instead of trusting self. This dilemma has caused much harm, and allowed for the worst among us to control the human narrative.
Considering the living hell that has consumed this country and the world due to the multitude of followers listening to and bowing down to the evil few, most find themselves at the mercy of the powerful. This is certainly not necessary, and in fact is the absolute worst possible position for any society to consider. It is my opinion that the only viable solution that would lead to an escape from this tyranny, and put a stop to the great reset plan of the oligarchs, is mass resistance and non-compliance by large numbers of people. Total disobedience in other words is crucial. Throw out all the so-called ‘leaders,' and rely only on self. The response most often received due to this solution comes in the form of a question. 'Who will tell me what to do and how to disobey?' Recently, a reader declared: 'I'm sure you agree that this requires organization and powerful leadership. We currently have no powerful leadership or plan.'
Horde Of Notions Mtg
This of course is not true. The ‘leadership' has excessive power, is already running the show, and they have the ultimate plan to take total control over all. When the collective seek powerful ‘leaders' they are seeking rule. The fallback position of the people tends always to rest on the premise of complete irresponsibility, and confidence in a claimed ‘superior' commanding force. Because of this bastardized belief system, the people voluntarily contribute to their own misery and demise, and have been throughout time too weak and apathetic to protect their own existence. Will this attitude ever change, or will the common people simply be relegated to reside in a land of serfdom?
Since the beginning of this country, or more accurately, the beginning of the end of this country, that time when the political class came up with a ruling document called the Constitution, ownership of the people by a governing body has been the prevailing state of existence. Throughout our history, this has become more evident with every passing administration. And what has been the people's only recourse? They have been allowed by their rulers to pick a new pre-selected master (leader) every four years. They always get the ‘leader' they so desire and deserve, and to this day, this process of voting, the epitome of absurdity, continues without question. Given this scheme, is it any wonder that a fake virus pandemic has brought this country to its knees?
We live in a country with a one-party political system that masquerades as two. Nothing ever changes; the ‘right' people are always in charge, and the heinous and corrupt policies are never altered. The agendas sought by the few controlling ‘elite' have been fulfilled over time so that this system based on the total control of all people could go forward. The final goal of total dominance has arrived, and the people still cry out for leadership.
America's mainland has never been attacked, but the ‘elite' manipulators at the top of the power pyramid, with help from the selected political class, have waged aggressive war for 94% of our history. Taxation, the theft and raping of the people, has reached heights never imagined, and all money and monetary policy has been designed so that the few control all wealth through a central banking cartel. This could never be more apparent than it is at this very time, as trillions upon trillions of dollars are being created out of thin air to bolster the wealth and power of those that are intent on controlling this entire society.
All this and much more corruption, freedom destruction, torture, mass imprisonment, and murder continue on unabated, while the people go to the polls to guarantee that their masters stay in power. They fight tooth and nail to get their ‘chosen' ruler, spewing hate toward one another, never once realizing that this system has been rigged since minute one, and that both sides always win, and the people always lose.
Notion Of Freedom
Now, the damage has become extreme, and the plot to take over for good is going forward without much resistance. The madness of this fake pandemic, and the propagandized fear mongering that has consumed this society, is taking on a new form, and will morph into a pre-planned conspiracy meant to complete by force a multitude of policy changes in order to advance many nefarious agendas simultaneously. To help this along, the poisonous injection falsely called a ‘vaccine,' will continue to be given to as many Americans as possible, setting the stage for mass death in the future to advance the desired depopulation effect.
As out of control inflation, food shortages, unemployment, and hatred increase, the downfall of America becomes more imminent. There is still time to reverse this insanity, and to take back the country from the psychopathic ruling class that has been allowed free rein to destroy this economic system while brutalizing the people.
Make no mistake about it; looking for leaders can only assure defeat. Each and every person needs to become his own leader, his own ruler, and needs to stand on his own two feet. With progress in that direction, the fake ‘leaders' can be eliminated, one by one, and then some semblance of freedom can be restored.
'Anarchism, to me, means not only the denial of authority, not only a new economy, but a revision of the principles of morality. It means the development of the individual as well as the assertion of the individual. It means self-responsibility, and not leader worship.'
