Yes We Need Order Rather than Chaos
(from Gab) —“Jefferson? We don’t need freedom, we need order”– @alternative_right [Y]es, but what order? Order of Truth, Science, Law and productive cooperation? (Rule of Law – Competition between men under the law of reciprocity.) Or order of Lies, Supernaturalism, Scripture and Parasitism – Rule by men? (Rule by Church Men – Priests) Or order…
The American Postwar Failure Financed by American Debt
|PROCESS|Traditional Law (Constitutionalism) > Utility > Postwar Morality > Economics > Obama-chaos > Decline > Civil War. [W]e didn’t have a ‘bible’ of western civ beyond which no man may tread. That’s the beginning of the problem: tradition vs articulation of the science under our tradition. We didn’t organize against neoliberalism. We had no…
Hippocampal, Entorhinal, and Cortical Data Structures
Well it’s… we have enough info now. The nobel was awarded for good reason. now we know how the brain matches all these fragments together into a coherent experience. Just like 3d computer games really: A very interesting sort of Geometry. Identity Provisioning – Rapid Neural Maturity (or genesis) – Unique Sequences Position –…
They Express Their World View
by Andy Curzon [I] see Taleb as having had two useful insights – the Black Swan and antifragility (a cat vs a washing machine ‘n’all). Skin in the game was an offshoot (and rather obvious, although he backs it up with data sets), and fooled by randomness was hackneyed old material. It’s a funny journey…
Ahmed Reda Says It Best
AHMED REDA SAYS IT BEST —“A Propertarian is expected to (and must) use Mathematics (as a universal language of measurement), Science (as a universal language of testimony), Law and Economics (as a universal language of decidability), Natural history (as a universal language of evidence), Literature (as a universal language of meaning) and Mindfulness (as the…
Law as A Solution
—“One of the common themes we see from some people who countersignal us is often they seem to pooh-pooh law as a solution and think that everything can be solved with some sort of aesthetic or spiritual movement. These guys are often young. I see them as just looking for a solution within a frame…
Why Universal Nationalism vs Globalism
WHY UNIVERSAL NATIONALISM VS GLOBALISM by Curt Doolittle —“I do universal nationalism. Why? Because natural law judges it as the only not-immoral means of cooperation. But that doesn’t tell you much. Instead it’s because “all men are distant relations cooperating to raise their people by the production of commons information, goods, and services, best suited…
Propertarianism: Cooperation
PROPERTARIANISM: COOPERATION The Evolution of Cooperation: 1) Acquisitiveness: To survive and reproduce, humans must acquire and inventory many categories of resources, and evolved to demonstrate constant acquisitiveness of those resources. 2) Property: The scope of those things they act upon, or choose not to act upon, in anticipation of obtaining as inventory (a store of…

Evolution vs Intelligent Design (Core)
EVOLUTION VS INTELLIGENT DESIGN (core) —“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…
Immateriality of Gods.
IMMATERIALITY OF GODS. The Four Reasons Are 1. God’s silence, 2. God’s inaction, 3. the lack of evidence, and 4. the universe looks exactly like a godless universe would, and not at all like a Christian universe would, even down to its very structure. Of course this is true if you think gods are material…
Rate of Mutation Tells Us Little Other than Time.
SORRY ALL BUT, NO. RATE OF MUTATION TELLS US LITTLE OTHER THAN TIME. (a) mutation rate != yardage (or any other linear measure) (b) some mutations (cortical scale) are profoundly differentiating – just one gene. (20% of neurons in the cortex are regulatory That number increases by region. The same is true for genes. It…
What is Enough?
NO. LAW – A VIA NEGATIVA – IS NOT ENOUGH. BUT WHAT RELIGIOUS STRATEGY, NARRATIVE, GRAMMAR, AND DEBT ARE ENOUGH?

The Universe Is Godless. The Mind of Man Is Not
THE UNIVERSE IS GODLESS. THE MIND OF MAN IS NOT [H]ow many proposed proposed christian structures have there been? They’ve all been wrong, right? Instead, we see a largely dead, empty universe, where man is irrelevant, nearly all of which is hostile to life, organized by very simple rules – rules which mean there is…
The Universe Is Godless – But for Us
THE UNIVERSE IS GODLESS. THE MIND OF MAN IS NOT. AND WE CAN CHANGE THE UNIVERSE. —“How does one cope with this fact? Like why acquire agency for the sake of acquiring it? I know you’ve mentioned that philosophy answers this for us – would you care to elaborate?”—Yiannis Kontinopoulos TO WORK TOGETHER TO BECOME…
Defending Molyneux Again
Context: Molyneux’s claim that he’s most influential philosopher working today. Is Molyneux Influential among philosophers, Intellectuals, Politicians – or among common people? Some of us work in R&D (like Research Academics), and some in Education (like Teaching Academics). Stefan is by far the most popular Teacher reaching the most people – by far. By that…

No. Don’t Conflate Arousal and Consciousness
Gak. No. Confusing Arousal with Consciousness is like confusing the light switch with the light. Just ’cause we can turn off the switch doesn’t tell us how the light is created. We can interfere with any number of parts (Colostrum) and shut down experience. That doesn’t tell us anything. The question is, how does that…
Western Tripartism Made Quadripartism

Religions: Addiction to Emotional Self Indulgence
[T]he purpose of most religions is not mindfulness but supplanting it with addiction to emotional self indulgence. The purpose of buddha’s teaching was, originally, submissive mindfulness. The purpose of stoicism’s teaching was dominant mindfulness – action. The purpose of Epicureanism was evidentiary mindfulness: supplying the human with real demands instead of status competition. And while…
Can We Create A New Federalist Papers?
TO: John Mark 1) I have the ‘last 30 day’ plan ready. It’s going to blow people away. But we can’t do it until next spring at the earliest. Just letting you know that it’s going to surprise people, it will bring in the people to act, and that combined with ‘hitting the road’ is…
The Constitution of Political Conspiracies
THE CONSTITUTION OF POLITICAL CONSPIRACIES —“The purpose of policy is to destroy the family?”— A Twitter Critic [I] think you, like most victims of 20th C pseudoscience attribute greater agency to our intentions, and stated intent over external consequence. Conspiracies of common cognitive bias, common interest are endemic even if common intent isn’t – outside…
Demand for the Pleasing Delusion
by Daniel Gurpide [I ]previously posted that –“Plato’s philosophy was for ‘the intellectuals’; the ethics of Plato are tied to his whole system of knowledge, including politics. The doctrines of Epicurus appealed chiefly to the middle classes, the bourgeoisie; the ethics of Epicurus are separated from politics and joined only with physics (and Aristotle). The…
