Were The Conservatives Right All Along
(interesting) We cannot, like mathematicians tried to do, define something into existence. We can define rules of deduction, but not define something into existence. Truth consists of correspondence and cause, not definition. Definitions are our choice. Truth is not. That is the entire purpose of ‘truth’ – that which we cannot choose. So, if instead…
Respecting The Person Or The Ideas Or Conflating The Two
(interesting) (tolerance as tax evasion) Do you separate respect for the person from respect for their ideas or do you make the solipsistic error of conflating a persons beliefs which they can change with their physical body which they cannot? One can say: i) that we coexist peacefully, ii) that we compete peacefully, iii) that…
Aristocratic Egalitarian “High Trust” Ethics vs Rothbardian “Ghetto” Ethics
ARISTOCRATIC EGALITARIAN “HIGH TRUST” ETHICS VS ROTHBARDIAN “GHETTO” ETHICS In the effort to suppress the state via arguments to anarchy the previous generations of libertarians failed to identify the cause of private property, and the differences between the high trust private property practiced by outbred homogenous ANF northern europeans, and the low trust inbred heterogeneous other…

Aristocratic Egalitarianism: The Unique Culture Of The North Sea Peoples
[I] hope to convince you that the argument that follows is very close to the final word on the American experiment, if not the Anglo experiment, and that nullification first, secession second, and civil war third, are the only alternatives to extinction of the unique high trust society of the Northern Europeans. STATEMENTS a) Our…
Is The Immorality of Mathematical Platonism Enough To End It.
Math was constructed from, and must, of necessity, consist of a series of operations. And consequently, all mathematics is reducible to a few simple operations. (Which is why computers can calculate.) In practice. everything we can think of can be reduced to adding or removing one, and the test of equality. (As an aside, this…
Contra David Miller : Confusing Fact and Value
==DAVID MILLER== Regarding theories: –“they are nothing more than conjectures or guesses about the unknown state of the world.”– –“the principal function of experience in science is to eliminate mistakes”– –“The principal function of science in technology is again to eliminate mistakes.”– –“Neither experience in science, nor science in technology, can determine that a problem…
On Popper’s Position, vs Action and Instrumentation
ON POPPER’S POSITION VS ACTION AND INSTRUMENTATION (reposted from cr page for archiving) All we can say is x set of recipes have y properties in common, and all known recipes have z properties in common, and therefore we will likely find new recipes that share z properties. Logic is one of the instruments we…

Is Philosophy A Vehicle For Theft?
Is nearly all of philosophy then, outside of logic, an artful construct for the purpose of justifying theft? One can justify suppression of, prevention of, and restitution for, the taking of discounts. (thefts) One can justify the selection of one priority of investment over another. But one cannot argue for the necessity of a monopoly…
What Are Bleeding Heart Libertarians? How Do They Differ From Libertarians?
The BHL’s rely on the classical liberal Psychological Arguments as justification for the moral sentiments of care-taking, and grab ideas from everyone else. Good marketing but no arguments as yet other than psychological (moral). The Cato Institute group relies more on a mix of historical, moral and legal arguments. But we can also classify them…
