—‘Nonsense, a competent shooter can shoot as fast with a 45 as with a 9.”— ^ But you just made my point didn’t you? 380 > 9 > 40 > 45 > 10 Average person’s rate of fire will decrease with scale (even the top competitive shooters cannot overcome the rate of…

I think the point is, whether your display, words, and deeds impose costs upon those who do not carry such falsehoods. We are currently wealthy enough that we can tolerate many falsehoods. We are currently wealthy enought hat we can tolerate much dysgenia. The question arises when we are no longer wealthy…

The purvey of the court in the production of its procedures is necessary for the simple reason that courts function via-negativa: as findings of fact in the resolution of disputes, by the single test of reciprocity. The production of commons, by council, thang, senate, or house in the production of its procedures is…

The limitless reciprocal insurance of the sovereignty of my brothers, their kin, and their property, in my displays words and deeds. The tolerance of disruption of the status hierarchy by truth, productivity, and achievement, so that those of the greatest contribution lead by our imitation of them. The ambition that we disrupt the…

It is pretty hard to be better than a good christian for the simple reason that the path to goodness – now from catholics as well as protestants – is ‘personal (direct) works of charity’ toward those in your proximity. (and I argue that all else is just virtue signaling – a kind…

One of the great falsehoods of philosophy: proof. You cannot prove anything, so the question itself is a deception. The questions are unfalsifiable, which is a center position between justifiable and warrantable. Justifiabl(excuse) > falsifiable (possible) > demonstrable(empirical) > warrantable (insured) Proofs exist in and only in mathematics, for the…

DEFINE “KNOW”? As far as I know (as far as I am aware) it can only mean ‘aware of’. One’s assessment of the truth or falsehood is quite different. The test of that truth or falsehood is something else. The truth or falsehood should we possess perfect knowledge is something else entirely. So…

This is a trivial problem in grammar with the terms truth and proof and can be debunked pretty easily. a) how can you testify that a teapot orbits the sun? This is a very different question than Russell is asking and is the entire reason why philosophy and theology became closely related after…

—“Why did it take so long to produce an east asian super model?”— Answer is obvious: 1) Conspicuous consumption is the easiest means of demonstrating signals, and humans determine their self worth and the worth of others by signals just as peacocks do. 2) Supermodels (models in general) serve the purpose of…

What is the difference between imaginable, logical, empirical and operational? Each tests the prior’s claims.

—“Law moves people. Law based on operational Epistemology and reciprocity ensures people are moved in a way which remains moral and productive (increases agency moving toward autonomy)… Stories motivate and can inform intuition but also encourage low cost epistemic efforts.”—Bill Joslin

The people of Connecticut must finally come to understand that the reason they are 44th in the nation (and CT is a dump) is because the people of CT have always been wrong. ALWAYS. Self righteous puritanism led to self righteous socialism led to self righteous postmodernism, and what was the finest parcel…

Female peak sexual market value :23 Male peak sexual market value: 36 Male peak economic sexual market value: 48. Female superiority in service economy market value – persistent. Male inferiority in service economy market value – persistent. End of both gender’s economic market value: ~72. Half-Life of maximum human lifespan: ~60 We waste almost…

—“They have it backwards. It’s toxic emasculinity”—Steve Pender

I dunno. I think we just use the word ‘god’ to represent increasingly poetic references. It’s the simple people for whom that poetry is existential and anthropomorphic, common people for whom it is literary, atheists who are in between (‘educated’) for whom it is pseudoscience or deceit, and the sophisticated people for whom it is…

Answer is obvious: 1) Conspicuous consumption is the easiest means of demonstrating signals, and humans determine their self worth and the worth of others by signals just as peacocks do. 2) Supermodels (models in general) serve the purpose of selling to women by means of self identity) (attainable aspirations) ? 3) One must have what…

Curt Doolittle’s answer: Interesting question. Good answers. Let’s look at how we can ask this question. 😉 [code ]Technical Innovation <-> Practical Utility <——> Popular Influence[/code] Successful Technical Hard to argue that the Russel-Frege-Kripke chain didn’t provide answers but it’s …

THE REASON FOR “PROGRESSIVE” CLASS INCREASES The lifting of the laboring and underclasses from subsistence to consumption was made possible by the increases in relative productivity. In other words, we are simply wealthy enough that we can afford (for a time) to reverse four thousand years of the domestication of human groups,…

–“The 2nd amendment *IS* the Constitution. Everything else just describes procedure.”– – Steve Pender

Oh. I like that framing: – You empty a 9mm – You double-tap/mozambique a 45. – And you fire a 10mm once. I think I’m going to stick with that one.

Now, I’ll repeat here that there is a vast difference between telling a story and telling a series of stories. Just as there is a vast difference between a term, and a term from a series of terms. Just as there is a vast difference between a parable and its explanation (you’ll note that the…

I say the same thing over and over again: the history, the novel, the myth, the parable. all of these are no more than what they pretend to be. (See Durant). I have a problem with inflation, conflation, and fictionalisms because of the externalities produced. The problem is, that the desire for…

(from elsewhere) The parable, the novel, the history, the economic history of the world provide better understanding for those with the physical, emotional, and mental agency to act in accordance with the world. But many of us, perhaps all but a few of us, cannot tolerate our relationship with reality for the same…

It is because you begin with the child’s relationship to the parent (family), not the political relationship between families, clans, tribes, and nations. 1 – The first question of rational choice is “why don’t I commit suicide”. 2 – The first question of ethics, is, and always will be, “Why don’t I…
