1. He is saying that the parts add up to more then whole.

However he has a label trap behind him.

Not a claim I would make. Guess it would depend what you think H means. Could be tie fighter, could be a person with H as an identifiable name, could even be a tv channel, and could be many other things. The problem with marketing label traps is it depends what you think they mean.

Many do follow label traps, is Larry King, Martin Luther King, Billie Jean King, or one of the many other names like that what you think of by 'king'? That is how label trap works, it first loads the association, then uses the label trap to change the value.

On a side note, their is a bias of aristocracy in Chronicles of Narnia, there are many reason stories are liked, that story has an appeal of some people feeling more special then others.

The children are treated 'special' compared to Narnia, that is an appeal to ideas of superiority complex, and why many like that film. That same motif is used in Harry Potter. My view is not that they think themselves special but can share much love as they grow. Then if special it is by action, thought, and heart, not by claim.

As said before popular movies can get someone to feel something they want to feel, the idea of only some people being like Harry Potter, or the Children stepping in and being immediately a bit special is a slight distortion of the idea of anyone can succeed if they apply effort to a just cause. It is also a distortion that gets groups to fight each other for no reason, only by some arbitrary grouping.

Overall Chronicles of Narnia is a good series, but there is a trap of aristocracy in those sets of books.


I made a comment on Centaurs years ago that I now think was a little less thoughtful, so might as well amend that comment also.

Centaurs, half horse half human, would be a symbol of a person with inspiration, but could be bad or good. Horses are symbols for angels that are servants, since for years horses were the biggest servants of man. So Narnia misses a bit, but the Greek story of a hero trained by a Centaur, or Arthur trained by Merlin, makes a little more sense. So in Narnia stories a little of that is missing.

2. Wow, are they behind the times! That was newspeak in business about 20 years ago.
