  —Should we be tolerant? Should we tolerate intolerance? If we don’t, does that make us intolerant?— We can always justify truthful speech. Why and how can we justify tolerance of anything other than truthful speech? Why should we justify falsehood, libel, slander, and risk (yelling fire in a theater for example). So, why did…

THE LANGUAGE OF GOD? OR OF MEN? Sorry religious folk, but religious language is a language of men, not god – science and mathematics are the language of god. Religious law is the command of men, not god – natural law discovered by science is the law of god. Heaven is not created by god,…

There is a large body of work on the risks of Artificial Intelligence, and the spectrum of methods of defending against one from policing, to forced forgetting, to But central to that work is the consensus that we are still quite far away from producing an Artifical General Intelligence (AGI). That’s because we are demonstrably…

I think what we are seeing is the end to Aryanism masquerading as Christian universalism masquerading as democratic consumer capitalism, advanced under east coast puritanism, jeffersonian conservatism, jewish neoconservatism, jewish libertarianis, jewish socialism. And that we are returning to ‘what works for my people’ world wide. The jews are doing fine by way of white…

DECEIT error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism, pseudoscience, overloading, propaganda, deception. CRIME murder, harm, damage, theft, fraud, fraud by omission, fraud by indirection, free riding, socialization of losses, privatization of commons, rent seeking, monopoly seeking, conspiracy, statism/corporatism, conversion(religion/pseudoscience), displacement(immigration/overbreeding), conquest (war). CONSISTENCY Aryanism > Christianity > Puritan Liberalism > Expansion/Colonialism > Hemispheric Colonialism > Liberalism…

Big lies prevent big goods The fact that the distributions of abilities in all tribal and racial groups varies considerably does nothing to help us choose behavior. It is not as if the lower will agree to the demands of the higher or vice versa. However we can trade with each other and in this…

Selfishness is necessary for the collective processing of information by individual perception (data), and interpersonal cooperation (falsification: true/false)… neural networks do not just exist in our minds, but between us. The difference is we are calculatively capable of processing (experiencing) the information we produce in the division of perception, cognition, knowledge, labor, and advocacy. But…

We cannot necessarily make ourselves smarter, so much as we can remove error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, framing, framing, overloading, propaganda, pseudorationalism, pseudoscience, and deceit from the informational commons; and to train (teach) generations both the tools of calculation (reasoning), tools of manipulation and examination (crafts), and the tools of cleansing (testimony), and defending the…

Stephan ( and all of us ) are moving to the right for the simple reason that the libertarian assertion that the nature of man is identical to the libertarian personality and our moral bias merely yearning to be free, is as false as is the progressive assertion that the nature of humans is altruistic…

***Liberty is the condition produced by the disciplined identification and enforcement of natural, judge-discovered, common law that evolves to prevent and resolve conflict and consequent retaliation spirals, so that we may maintain the disproportionate value of cooperating on production, despite the constant incentive to engage in murder, violence, harm, damage, theft, fraud, fraud by omission,…

WHY? DO WE TEACH RELIGION? COST AND ERROR. – Myth must only be envisioned and accepted. – Philosophy must be reasoned and understood to be envisioned and accepted. – Science must be measured, reasoned, and understood, to be envisioned and accepted. 1) Myths are easier to teach than measurement, calculation and reason. 2) Myths are…

You possess Liberty when you rule – else you have but permission. The purpose of rule is to prevent others from ruling – so that you possess Liberty in fact not permission. But this condition can only survive if you have numbers sufficient to deny competitors the ability to rule. But to work together in…

ALEXANDER In the 3500 year old battle between the aristocracy(how we live) and the dictatorship(how most of the world lives) he was the first great general to defeat the first great threat to our civilization (our aristocratic civilization): the Persian Empire, and as a consequence the totalitarianism of the river civilizations, making the world safe…

ARE EMOTIONS RATIONAL? AND WHY PHILOSOPHY IS SO SUCCESSFUL IN DECEIT. AND WHY I AM AN ANTI-PHILOSOPHY PHILOSOPHER (read this: very very very important synthesis) (A) as far as I know all emotions reflect a reaction to a change in state of some form of inventory ( property ). ( b) as far as I…

THE WORD “SOVEREIGNTY” AS USED BY THE CLASSES – Sovereignty : Aristocracy – Organizing the Polity. – Liberty: Burghers – Organizing the Economy. – Freedom: Laborers – Transforming resources – “Positive Freedom”): Consumption: women, children, and the underclasses

(read for some good useful arguments) Women were ineffective at leaving ‘extraordinary’ marks on history for a number of obvious reasons: 1 – Strength, athleticism, bravery, loyalty, and cunning provided marginal differences in groups that made possible disruptions in society. Consensus does not produce change, but regularity. 2 – All progress is achieved through either…

Let me repeat that so that it doesn’t get lost: we tell stories of great achievement because it is the only possible way of conveying heroism: desirable action at the extremes. We teach the valuable exceptions that produce the valuable rewards for high risk. We do not tell people stories of regularities that are in…

(worth repeating) —“Curt! Write a book on this!.”— lol…. WTF do you think I am doing? 🙂 I don’t write this  ***  for my own entertainment. 🙂 Anyway, this is the general thesis of the book: The Law of Nature. We invented sovereignty, and from that we developed western civilization as an extension. As we…

Programming is as important an innovation in thought as is empiricism. Because while empiricism is but correspondent and logic is a but question of sets, programming is operational (existential). I think the act of creating databases is about as close to philosophizing as you can come, but it involves the same problem as logic: as…

ENDING THE POLLUTION OF PHILOSOPHY WITH THE EQUIVALENT OF OPTICAL ILLUSIONS (important) (I figured out how to talk about suggestion) The pollution of philosophy with the verb “to be”: creating nonsense problems because our minds do not seem able to avoid the confusion created between experience and existence when we say “is” or “are”. So…

I may not like the fact that being male makes me expendable. But I must live with the reality of the division of reproductive labor. On the other hand, I am perfectly happy, if not thrilled, to set the terms by which my expendability may be exercised. I am willing to kill and die for…

Logic is written as is legislation. Testimonialism is written as natural law. This is the origin of the conflict: legislation and mathematics, rather than natural law and physics. What does that mean? That law is written as a command. That logical statements are written as promises. The physical statements are written as hypotheses.

  [T]he cycle of history in genes, polities, economies, and knowledge is the same: A new opportunity to exploit is discovered by those capable of exploiting it. The innovators profit from the cooperation of followers. The followers and those who profit expand in a hierarchy or school until one of the following occurs: 1 –…

[W]hy don’t we just rename each branch of econ operationally instead of geographically: 1 – Austrian: Economic Social Science. 2 – And then follow with Chicago: Economic Rule of Law. 3 – And follow finally with Saltwater: Economic Discretionary Spending. There is plenty of reason there is such conflict between schools over method when the…
