(read it and weep) (a graduate education in philosophy in one lesson) Q&A: —“Curt Doolittle, is christian mysticism a functional or structural approach to things?”— [W]ell, now that’s an interesting question. 1) “Functional”, “Structural” and “Approach to Things” are problematic terms. If we clarify the terms – which is the purpose of analytic philosophy –…

WHY NOT STUDY THE CONTINENTALS, MYSTICS, PHILOSOPHERS OF LANGUAGE? [S]pending time analyzing lies is not useful. In fact, its harmful. And that’s the intent of the authors. —“If you dance with the devil, the devil doesn’t change, the devil changes you.”— Or less eloquently, —“If you spend a lot of time with dung, you begin…

Thievery is a successful group evolutionary strategy. Some groups practice it purposefully. Lying is a successful group evolutionary strategy. Some groups practice it purposefully. Wishful thinking is another group evolutionary strategy. Some groups practice it purposefully. Truth is an other group evolutionary strategy. Some groups practice it purposefully.

[T]HE ABSENCE OF COST IN POPPER’S CRITICAL RATIONALISM AND TESTIMONIALISM’S COMPLETENESS. —Since we can never know for sure what is true and what is false, — 1) **We can however perform due diligence on our hypotheses, and pay the cost of that due diligence, rather than fail to do so, and thereby export the cost…

[W]e agree, with the provisions… ***”We agree to grant you equal rights in matters of property under the provision that you limit reproduction to kin, and create no moral hazard by bearing offspring that the rest of us must pay to raise and insure. Why? Because it is not necessary to grant you equal rights…

[I] write controversial philosophy. If it was not controversial it would not be revolutionary. – And I embrace controversy as good marketing, and the good conduct of argumentative research. *** http://www.propertarianism.com/en_US/2016/01/18/yes-im-controversial-but-why/ If my work is offensive, it means the person offended is a thief. That may seem an outrageous claim, but it will survive all…

[S]pencer and Darwin were so close. Unfortunately mises, popper, hayek, brouwer, bridgman, and poincare failed to carry them across the threshold. Why? Because the combination of women, marx, boaz, freud, created a sentimental alternative to truth – a great lie. And after the great war, keynes created a way to use consumption to recover from…

—“Your audacity impresses and amuses me.”– [G]iven that I’m outside of the academy, I am both too stupid to know that it cannot be done, and unregulated by academics who would prevent me from trying such an absurd thing. So I try in ignorance to achieve the unachievable. Now that I’ve gone through most of…

[A]s an economy. “The Cost Is In The Maintenance” Testimonialism tells us that “There exist no general rules without limits”. So to say we should never spank or always do something else, is an ‘immature’ or perhaps ‘unsophisticated’ ethic. Lets look at the four properties. FIVE FACTORS 0) the category of violation: violence(physicality), crime(theft), ethics(deceit),…

(read it) (learn it) (share it) (rhetorical weaponry) —“Religious freedom is a fundamental right”— The Heritage Foundation [T]his cannot logically be true. No fundamental right can exist if it violates natural law. Religion must be compatible with Natural Law or it is not religion but politics in religious dress, or warfare in disguise, but not…

A lot of things can be ‘considered’ but they must be ‘accepted’ in order for us to agree to act upon them together, and they must survive while performing their function without failing to provide their promised ends. At present the ‘government’ (state) is ‘considered and accepted’ to function as a corporation, and citizens as…

[W]e can fail to construct a market. But the market for goods and services can’t fail – that’s logically impossible. If the market for goods and services cannot provide a desired commons, then that’s the providence of the market for commons (‘government’). We can fail to construct a market for commons (‘government’). But the market…

MIND > TOILET > BEDROOM > HOME > COMMONS > COURT > SACRED-PLACES > SACRED CEREMONIES. (trigger warning – some comments may be offensive) [S]ome people cant manage separating what’s acceptable in their living rooms from that which is acceptable in the commons. And conversely, what is unacceptable in the commons is non of our…

—“What’s your view of the contemporary drug war? How does the Propertarian framework handle the externality effects of drug use? Conservatives obviously seem to feel strongly about it that they license a monolithic state to fight it, and libertarians seem to adopt the opposite libertine position, at best hoping that it somehow reduces the negative…

THIS IS THE MOST ACCURATE FRAMING OF THE ECONOMIC MOVEMENTS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE TO US. 1 – Austrian economics seeks to eliminate asymmetries of knowledge so that people can cooperate voluntarily under the optimum possible conditions.  So as a movement, Austrian economics was a social science.  In other words, they want to improve our information. 2…

The problem with american policy is that it’s policy is utopian.  The postwar consensus was that states needed to focus internally on capitalism and human rights, and stay within their borders, so that we don’t have another civil war. Unfortunately americans promote democracy AND consumer capitalism instead of consumer capitalism regardless of political order. Democracy…

The country has been engaging in ‘the big sort’ for decades now.  The Republican party represents whites and married women.The Democratic party represents non-whites and unmarried women. All economics and politics are merely demographic: Race, Culture, Class, Age, and maritial status.   We blither a lot about politics under the assumption that people change. They don’t. …

China cares about damaging american power, maintaining the power of the party so that they can prevent the fragmentation of the Chinese (Han) Empire, and restoring her position as ‘center of the world’, in order to gain economic, political and military advantage. North Korea helps and hurts this strategy. https://www.quora.com/Does-China-actually-care-about-North-Korea
