Oct 12, 2019, 1:50 PM by Predmetsky Rosenborg Ex-Propertarians always sound like jilted ex-girlfriends: –“and that non-operationalizable “abrahamism” word”– Operationalizing abrahamism is easy…high verbal IQ (median about 129) combined with low visual-spatial (there goes the calculating for physical costs and forces…) care-harm fundamentalism produced by high openness to experience (often correlated with high schizotypy) and…

Oct 12, 2019, 5:20 PM The original purpose of unions was to protect the underclasses. The communists worked thru the labor unions. They used unions to drive class warfare. Unions were the largest contributors to the democratic party. Unions drove the democratic party into socialism and communism under marxism like identity politics under postmodernism. The…

Oct 12, 2019, 5:25 PM by Bill Joslin “Equality” is a term that’s been repeatedly … gang-r@ped. CONTEXT ONE: BOOLEAN ASSESSMENT OF CATEGORICAL MEMBERSHIP. All players on the ice exist equally as “HOCKEY PLAYERS” bound by the same rules (membership). However, not all hockey players play hockey equally (qualitative assessment). CONTEXT TWO: ISONOMY State application…

Oct 12, 2019, 7:46 PM The purpose of the inquisition was: … 1) to suppress factions (heresy) that would have weakened the church’s income (they were crooks), their political power, and the church’s ambition to take over as the central government of Europe … 2) to standardize punishment given the wide variety of punishments coming…

Oct 12, 2019, 7:48 PM by Bill Joslin I would take the discussion of Trust a step further. Law and contract eliminate the NEED for trust. However, law and contract that results in this, can only emerge out of a polity that has established high trust in their informal institutions. (which is why, if you…

Oct 12, 2019, 7:51 PM —“The most surprising thing Curt Doolittle’s king of the hill games revealed to me (and there’s been a lot of surprising things) was that Christians are just as infuriating to argue with as leftists. Say one honest unflattering thing about Christianity and they come flying out of the woodwork to…

Oct 12, 2019, 8:09 PM by Bill Joslin (See what happens when we get bill in the game too???) Equivocation of equality as categorical membership with qualitative assessment ( that being the notion that all are equally valuable), results in an obscurity of ingroup distinction i.e. leads to the notion of open borders and franchise…

Oct 12, 2019, 8:12 PM by Bill Joslin Guilds acted as a counter balance to managerial classes. A manager didn’t obtain trade or craft specific knowledge. When asking a craftsman “how long for this?” or “how much material for that?”,the manager stood at the mercy of the craftsman’s knowledge. The manager had no way of…

Oct 12, 2019, 8:18 PM Guilds limited access, all but eliminated competition and preserved quality, which prevented optimum market pricing in exchange for optimum benefit to workers – because transport costs for goods were higher than local premium prices. So it’s more of an question of eliminating labor arbitrage. Now, other issues were important in…

Oct 12, 2019, 8:32 PM —“No, neither of us advocates forcing people to believe anything. All we demand is that due diligence against error, bias and deceit be made in all speech to public (commercial, academic, political etc.). All this means for Christians is to either keep their faith a private matter or, if they…

Oct 12, 2019, 8:57 PM —“Sophism is the common form of discourse now. It’s incredible to watch the stimulus (P) create the response (dissonance). It’s entirely appropriate.”—Benny Burke

Oct 12, 2019, 9:02 PM Let me put it in perspective, white people, our fairy tales, our myths, our religion, our education – we were brought up to rule. Ourselves, our families, our polities, our nations and the world. This is what the rest of the world cannot grasp, and what the underclasses cannot achieve.…

Oct 13, 2019, 6:59 AM by Alain Dwight All money is a share in a particular economy. Having money generated by a predefined, publicly visible algorithm might be a step closer to rule of law in finance, but it’s not a full accounting rule of law for finance and it doesn’t magically make the economy…

Oct 13, 2019, 10:34 AM by Martin Št?pán If your faith helps you behave according to natural law, whether your pantheon is Zeus/Jupiter and his family or Odin/Wodan and the Æsir or the Trinity, Mary and the saints, I will absolutely support it. But I’m unable to believe it even if I wanted to. Those…

Oct 13, 2019, 11:33 AM it’s how we end the game against us. If you gain value from an identity from a membership, then you must insure the rest of us from the consequences of the organization you fund by your membership. Families insure individuals, individuals insure groups, and no one is free of insuring…

Oct 13, 2019, 12:00 PM FB censored the post where an Arabic Speaker asked me to explain how a group with a lower average IQ could achieve european standards of living. I explained that it is not an IQ problem but a population demographic problem. And in fact, with very rare exceptions, this is in…

Oct 14, 2019, 9:07 AM Three axis of Causality in Religion vs Science. 1) Intelligence, 2) Empathizing vs Systematizing. 3) Degree of familial indoctrination in Religion vs Science. So The demarcation isn’t just IQ, but IQ and the Competition between Feminine Feeling vs Masculine Thinking. I was raised very catholic it simply ‘lost’ the battle…

Oct 14, 2019, 1:40 PM Evolutionary Psychopathology: A Unified Approach amazon.com (thanks Eric Bumpus) Available in our Library and Libgen. 2018 book. Expensive. Not popular. However, if combined with Baron Cohen’s books on autism and gender differences in brain you will sort of have the via positiva and via negativa understanding.

Oct 14, 2019, 9:29 PM FAITH Faith is a fairly easy thing to explain. In other words we know what causes the feeling we call ‘spirituality’ and why it’s so influential to some and not at all to others. But we can’t introspect into it. So you can’t introspect into how you raise your arm.…

Oct 14, 2019, 9:35 PM Consciousness: awareness of change in state of self (non-body), of spatial model of self (body), of space around self, of objects in the space around self, of place and location, of others, as the spatial movement of others, and the model in the mind of others. This is the sixth…

Oct 15, 2019, 2:15 PM —“I can believe in natural law in itself because I see evidence of it all around me. That’s what I attribute all the beauty of creation to.”—Martin Št?pán via Alain Dwight

Oct 15, 2019, 10:19 AM (higher knowledge meaning the ability to practice free association(knowledge) and sedation(happiness) through pursuit of the ecstasy of surrender-of-the-will-to-running-with-the-pack (spirituality), and to habituate that feeling as one’s ‘normal’ condition is not unscientific nor mystical. It’s that the feeling of occult, and mystery is the feeling of running with the pack which…
