Oct 15, 2019, 2:22 PM Jonathan Haidt on his book The Coddling of the American Mind standard.co.uk https://standard.co.uk/lifestyle/books/jonathan-haidt-the-coddling-of-the-american-mind-a4261081.html? SCALE AND THE STORE OF TRUST by Luke Weinhagen ( CD: I’m Sharing because of this bit of genius: —“The system can not scale beyond its ability to generate and store trust and begins to fail immediately…

—“Curt Doolittle, otherwise known as, The Prosecutor of Liars, The Butcher of Abrahamism, The Philosopher of Natural Law, The Inquisitor of Parasites. You won’t find a more truthful intellectual and you cannot afford to ignore his judgements. You only naively think you can.”— a Friend

Oct 15, 2019, 6:05 PM by Luke Weinhagen Law and contract can be used to subsidize for the absence of specific trust, such as between strangers or untested business partners. Both are “loans” against the stored trust in a polity. Enforced and insured by the commons in the form of “WE as a common polity…

Oct 16, 2019, 10:49 AM (Godel is a Platonist and I’m an Operationalist. This contrast is rather helpful in illustrating the operational vs platonist vs empirical.) Man acts rationally, and by rationally amorally. But given the disproportionate value of cooperation, and the disproportionate risk of retaliation, it’s just in his interest to act morally much…

Oct 16, 2019, 5:29 PM —“I think the best thing about P is that it avoids the biggest rhetorical pitfalls of most boomers and old xers. Millenials and gen Z are mad that we have no community, society, fair ratio of marriageable women, reason to invest at all. Most of us would trade what we…

Oct 16, 2019, 7:38 PM Meth, Heroin, Cocaine all feel good. Sugar feels good. Wheat feels good. Pornography feels good. The fake affections of prostitutes feel good. Comforting lies feel good. Hyperconsumption feels good. Virtue signaling feels good. Feeling good isn’t a test of anything other than the sensations we evolved as hunter gatherers. We…

Oct 17, 2019, 8:02 AM Breaking up FB is not as important to me as regulating it. But if we were to break it up I would recommend breaking up publisher(content and advertising) and platform organizations, and remove Mark from the platform. And then open up the platform to other publishers. This preserves the income…

Oct 17, 2019, 8:57 AM While the principal innovation of P is Testimonialism, truthful testimony is merely reciprocity in speech. Agency is only possible under reciprocity. Trust is only possible under Reciprocity. Eugenia is only possible under Reciprocity. The foundation of P, the Natural Law of Reciprocity – is of course, just reciprocity: limiting one’s…

Oct 17, 2019, 9:38 AM —“Reciprocity is EVERYWHERE the last few weeks. P is changing the language being used, which in turn will change the conversations being had, which creates different attitudes (frames), which leads to different actions being taken. This is how to change the world.”—Noah J Revoy

Oct 17, 2019, 9:50 AM You’re missing the point that only the west could invent science (testimony) because only the west practiced the combination of militia, truth, reciprocity, heroism, excellence, markets, and aristocracy (meritocracy). Now that we have given the world our science and technology and law and finance like we gave the world empiricism,…

Oct 17, 2019, 11:35 AM (slavery) Slavery existed because of labor required for farming. It ended i) because the labor required for farming first reduced by western agrarian innovation, then ii) was eliminated by western innovation, and iii) because western finance, accounting, and taxation technology made customers provide higher returns than slavery. ie: capitalism(markets) produce…

Oct 17, 2019, 1:15 PM I have done a little work on disambiguating the charge misdemeanor vs felony (meaningless), but not enough on judgement restitution, personal punishment (prevention), and political punishment(prevention). These subjects are important because the current structure appears illogical to the public, because some crimes are preventable by political punishments (things that are…

Oct 17, 2019, 3:55 PM It’s very unlikely you can write a book. It’s likely you can write a paper. Its likely if you can write a series of papers that you can combine them into a book. Most of the time a paper is sufficient for a book. A book merely provides a set…

Oct 17, 2019, 5:21 PM QUESTION: —“Curt I have a question for you. Do you think that there is any possibility of a tyrant getting in charge of the USA should it descend into civil war for separation? Or do we think this can be done by democratic processes in place? The latter one I…

Oct 17, 2019, 9:28 PM —“I think Curt is working with an oversimplified, inaccurate theory of language, which leads to many liberal problems (Propertarianism as merely an intensification of liberalism), but I’ve always enjoyed some of his encyclopedic observations (because those are all necessarily written scientifically anyways, so there can be some compatibility).”—Imperius I am…

Oct 18, 2019, 10:57 AM The Left confuses PROGRESS with CONSUMPTION. And OPPRESSION with DOMESTICATION. We evolved Property, Law, Markets and resulting Eugenics to limit Hyper-Consumption, and Impose domestication upon semi-human animals by constraining the reproduction of both genders to what they could produce. One can spend increases in production but if one just spends…

Oct 18, 2019, 11:01 AM The failure of the law of tort to keep pace with inventions in parasitism and predation, generates demand for the state to via-positiva impose rules of conduct instead of the law’s via-negativa prohibitions on conduct. This is why jewish-libertarian civs are impossible, and only anglo-rule-of-law civs produce liberty and freedom…

Oct 18, 2019, 7:13 PM –“… (Doolittle) doesn’t understand language …”– A Right Wing Postmodernist The truth is not amenable to man, unless the truth provides him with agency. Others confuse truth and utility. The truth may be useful but it is also true and reciprocal. Many statements are useful but either false, ir-reciprocal, or…

Oct 18, 2019, 8:44 PM Very few of us seek truth. We all seek utility not truth. For some of us truth and utility are identical. for others it forces them into competition with Darwin – and truth is the enemy of false genes as much as false ideas.

Oct 19, 2019, 10:51 AM —“Good, you’re learning humbleness”—Giego Caleiro That’s unlikely. It’s that I’ve finished the research project, and have moved on to explanation and application. So I’m not attacking ideas to learn how to disambiguate them. I’m just working on explaining everything with spectra of market demands rather than monopoly ideals.

Oct 19, 2019, 10:52 AM “The way Silicon Valley invests in the economy is the way the Government should invest in the economy and it’s not.” – Doolittle

Oct 19, 2019, 10:55 AM —“What we like or want may not be good for us.” –Curt Doolittle Context of the original quote was that we have used a variety of techniques to generate hyper-consumption and especially conspicuous hyper consumption, and even worse, conspicuous hyper consumption of virtue signals. In other words, we may like…

Oct 19, 2019, 10:56 AM —“The government endlessly invests in grown adults who can’t dress themselves or bathe., and who destroy every apartment they’ve ever lived in. … As Marx says “from each according to his ability. To each accord to his need.” … Don’t be surprised when you have hoards of VERY needy people…
