An Agentist Approach to Divinity
by Ferdinand Pizarro I lend a quasi-religious interpretation to information (order), but I tend to have a more agentist approach to my conception of “god” and/or divinity, which has the effect of providing sufficient interface for approximation of godliness. In other words, I don’t see information as god, but the net production of information (dissipation…

The Rules of Consciousness
The Rules of Consciousness Whereas 1. Our attention rotates in a competition between sensation(observation and construction by prediction and reward identification), imagination (possibility by association), holding attention on a goal (possibility by continuous opportunity seizure), and releasing predicted actions (in pursuit of the goal). Whereas 2. We rotate between sensation (observation and construction by prediction),…
Sigh.
@Azure Amaranthine You really aren’t up to this category of arguments – or concepts. Let me help you. 1 – The culmination of 20th century investigation into the scientific method was that there is no via-positiva scientific method – nor is there any via-positiva logic. Instead, the scientific method consists of producing testifiable testimony regardless…
Disgust
Just Tell the Truth – They’re Disgusting —“The Leftist tendency is to conflate the Rightist Disgust response to various things as phobias. In other words, the Left confuses Disgust for Fear.”— [T]he right is just too well mannered to say: “Actually it’s because we find your/their ____________ behavior disgusting and revolting because it is a…
Site Update: Mobile and Table UI.
We finished the missing copy on the site (that we know of). We finished reworking the programs page. While not an application, and a fairly heavy site, we think we have the Mobile and Tablet code working now. It turned out to be a version problem. Anyway. A bit boring but this is the flyout…
Site Update: Improved Quiz Navigation
We’ve updated the UI to make it a bit more intuitive. So it will be less likely you’ll accidentally complete a lesson, assignment, quiz, or course. We clarified the button colors, sizes, and screen locations a bit. Thanks. 😉
SITE UPDATE. JOIN UP. NOW. 😉
The Propertarian institute site is ready to launch. I’ve been working on the courseware so hard that I hadn’t had time to complete it, but at present I think it’s Done Enough. That means I can start promoting it. I didn’t want to promote it until we were ready, But … current events made us…
SITE UPDATE: Fixes – Much Better Experience.
Fixed the Performance Issue – turns out it was the cache hurting performance instead of helping. Now the site operates at what I would consider normal speed. Fixed the menu display issue on Tablets and Mobile. Should be awesome now. Hamburger menu appears, etc. Fixed all-courses display issue, although some might not have found it.…
No, Mutation Rate Is Not An Argument Against Natural Selection (Core)
(Core) Sorry All But, No. Mutation Rate != Evolutionary Rate (a) some mutations (cortical scale) are profoundly differentiating – just one gene. For example, 20% of neurons in the cortex are regulatory. That number varies by region. The same is true for genes. It certainly appears that the vast majority are either dead (not expressed),…
Friend’s Rant on Creationists
(Rant from a friend, I found humorous partly because of the obvious frustration) By @Septeus7 I’m tired of this round of PR from the Creationist/IDist. The “new” tactic is borrow from SJWs by employing a univariant (fallacy) model of mutation and then claim Darwinian selection fails because the probably of functional mutation in a single domain.…

On Lying (Core)
What Is Reciprocity? The Silver Rule (Presumption of Inequality) In the Negative (Silver Rule, or via-negativa): The requirement to avoid the imposition of costs on that which others have born costs to obtain an interest in, without imposing costs upon that which others have likewise born costs to obtain an interest in. And; The Golden…
Deliver unto any gods…
“Deliver faith and obedience to any gods compatible with natural law. Deliver Truth, Duty, and Reciprocity to mankind because Truth, Duty, and Reciprocity ARE the natural law.” Christianity survives under natural law as does all literature under natural law, in that the parables advocate natural law, despite being stated in language and grammar of myth,…
On Intelligent Design: I Support Truthful Speech
—“Are you saying you support darwanism over Christianity or intelligent design?”—Mark E. Haney 1 – I cannot falsify evolution, and every single evidence from the fundamental structure of the universe to the imagination of man is a product of a very small number of possibilities in very great permutation, just as limited numbers of sounds,…
Disambiguation: Confidence vs Faith
You have CONFIDENCE in the law, because of the EVIDENCE of the law. One has Faith in that which one has no evidence by which to produce confidence. Disambiguation is central to the method of propertarianism. We don’t let people lie by conflation of real, ideal, pseudoscientific, and supernatural.
Propertarianism Protects Christianity
“God doesn’t force us to believe. Why over time people do believe on their own accord when they are ready. He isn’t negating Christianity, he’s using logical terminology in law terms. RECIPROCITY means equal across the board to all including those that don’t believe or do I’m a Christian and I agree with Doolittle’s opinions.…
Three Insights Today
1) Constitution I made a two mistakes in sketching a draft of the constitution: … i) Not separating the law from the constitution itself. The Law is The Law regardless of the constitution created under it. The constitution is an application of the law. The policies are actions within the constitution AND the law. So…

But in the order above, from most (strategy – apolitical ) to least…

UPDATES: Well, less time on FB makes for much higher productivity. Mostly because of less task switching. Bug in APLLY01 Application For Courses > Terms Quiz Fixed. There was a bug that repeated questions confusing the user. The bug was in serialized text data (a messy concatenated string) and it required rebuilding everything except the…
Nine New Students Today. 😉
The institute approved nine new students today. Now we have a big enough group to generate real discourse. Thanks to the early entrants for helping us work the bugs out. We still need to fix the entry survey. And I will upload the new videos shortly. 😉
People Thinking “it’s the Dumbest Take in Politics”

The Trio of John, Ely, Curt … Works.
—I think the trio of John Mark (the Propagandist), Ely Harman (the Warrior), and Curt Doolittle (the Philosopher) works really well. Ely Harman was the guy who led me into this world.”— The only thing I’d add is that: – The Teacher is definitely Bill. Bill is less visible but he is equally influential. –…
