Mar 27, 2020, 9:56 AM —“You are not a scientist. You are a story teller. Arranging information, data, statistics, iqs into a self-deceptive, bias confirming narrative. As are the majority of scientists generally. Empirical science is inferior. Lacking holism and art. I renounce it.”—Learned Dr. Kantbot, PhD SCIENCES: 1. Formal(Logics: logic, mathematics, algorithmic, operational). 2.…

Mar 27, 2020, 10:08 AM by Matt MacBradaigh I had a couple of thoughts about Libertarians. It might not be as intellectual as some, but I think not insignificant. Libertarian criticism of others on the Right, Republicans in particular, compares the actual failings of (some) Republicans vs the theoretical offering of Libertarianism. I.e, “(a few)…

Mar 27, 2020, 10:42 AM (people not grasping closure) P-law is a formal, operational, and algorithmic logic using a universally commensurable grammar (paradigm, vocabulary, logic grammar syntax), that tests (falsifies) every possible dimension of coherent (consistent, correspondent, existentially and operationally possible) thought. … Now, you might arbitrarily define ‘science’, but by any definition P-law is…

Mar 27, 2020, 10:45 AM BTW: In “SCIENCES: 1. Formal(Logics: logic, mathematics, algorithmic, operational). 2. Physical (the laws of nature). 3. Psychological (cognitive science), and 4. Social (Social science: economics, law, politics, group strategy).” Psychology is either ignored (as a pseudoscience) or included as cognitive science in physical science. I separate formal, physical, individual, and…

Mar 27, 2020, 10:45 AM by Tim Abbott —“Tim Abbott : What’s your position on Freud vs Jung, vs Cog Sci?”—CD Freud’s main concepts of the mind were non-original, but innovations of prior Greek concepts. The state of human affairs from the Freudian vision are outright lies. I find more utility in Jung. Jungian concepts…

Mar 27, 2020, 11:36 AM —“Propertarianism is the best case for individualism as it establishes the costs. Sovereignty requires agency requires the aptitude to incur and manage the costs.”—Rick Tavi (CD: Well done. I set out to restore ability, responsibility, un-substitutability, and cost to search for Freedom and Liberty by permission at other’s discretion –…

Mar 27, 2020, 11:38 AM —“Libertarians don’t do skin in the game – they play fantasy league football for ideology.”—Gary Knight (Gary always up-man’s everyone else. It’s a good thing.)

Mar 27, 2020, 12:08 PM by Andrew M Gilmour Jung approached consciousness empirically; like someone attempting to reverse engineer it. He looked at the outputs (myth, religion and art) and worked backwards. Unfortunately his fixation on illnesses limited the scope of his discoveries. There was the potential for him to create a complete model of…

Mar 27, 2020, 4:38 PM —“UPB It’s built on non-contradiction. Making it’s epistemology rationalism; thereby ignoring: natural law, game theory, prisoner’s dilemma, etc.”—Andrew M Gilmour —“UPB is Kantianism (Hoppeanism) for fever-level IQs. It is the language of an adolescent just learning to venture beyond his mother’s purview. This has been his project from the outset…

A return to commodity money can’t be done. It privileges investors at the expense of ordinary people, and managing the supply of money is too valuable for an economy. No economy can compete without it. And there are other vehicles for storing capital – including commodity money, real estate, commodities (how oil functions today). Commodity…

Mar 28, 2020, 1:46 PM (more nitwit kantians) SCIENCE Science is just the application of law to the market for knowledge. Norms for the limit of normative behavior. Law for the limit of criminal behavior. Tradition for the intergenerational transfer of science, norms, and laws. KNOWING A paradigm of related ideas that permit one to…

Mar 28, 2020, 2:32 PM (in response to hate from a universalist libertarian) —“Doolittle needs to come up with his own descriptor. By his own admission, Propertarianism no longer fits. He long ago abandoned any propertarian roots he may have had, denying any propositional aspects of human culture in favor of racial collectivism. A ludicrous…

RE: Curt Doolittle’s recipe for civilization – JF Gariépy TPS #714 youtube.com I didn’t say there is an end to history or to law. I wasn’t searching for an idea. I’m claiming that european ancestral law is the reason for the unique success of western civlization. And that continuing the anglo tradition, we must periodically…

Mar 29, 2020, 11:08 AM —“It’s amazing how few people have really internalised what is coming in the next month. Especially in the US. Not the human damage or the economic damage that is coming.”– Iron Economist — “I’m pretty terrified but I think people many people are in a state of hopeful denial”-JayMan @JayMan471…

Mar 29, 2020, 11:30 AM —“Not sure why [censored] JFG, would bring up Manhattan distance something which he clearly doesn’t understand. You were correct in – and multiple times caught him cascading off to some absurdity, as he did against M.”—Hans Hermeme Hoppe @LLaddon I like JFG for many personal reasons, but he is an…

Mar 29, 2020, 11:32 AM Ok. So using civilizational development, demographic, generational, technological, and business cycles I’ve been within a month or two of every major correction (opportunity exhaustion) since I started working (except china). Market timing is impossible. But Antifragility is NOT.

Denied Lifesaving Care Under These Plans as Coronavirus Spreads — ProPublica propublica.org —“Alabama’s disaster preparedness plan says that “persons with severe mental retardation, advanced dementia or severe traumatic brain injury may be poor candidates for ventilator support.” https://propub.li/2JihhRY”— —“This is eugenics.”—Jeet Heer @HeerJeet You say that like it’s a bad thing rather than the correct…

Mar 29, 2020, 11:38 AM —“DHS Adds Workers for Gunmakers, Gun Retailers, and Shooting Ranges to “Essential Critical Infrastructure” List”— —“Seems ‘they’ have a plan, otherwise I would expect the opposite of this from Washington.”—@Achtttung It’s just as important for first responders as it is for citizens. And this is a reaction to some cities…

Mar 29, 2020, 11:44 AM —“…JFG claimed that morality is subjective entirely…”— Well, I corrected him. Personal moral bias is subjective. We compete with others in a market of moral biases. We converge to reciprocity within our local geographic, demographic, familial, social, economic, and political organizations, and we absolutely converge on reciprocity in international affairs…

Mar 29, 2020, 11:53 AM —“NYT: The U.S. Tried to Build a New Fleet of Ventilators. The Mission Failed…. As the coronavirus spreads, the collapse of the project helps explain America’s acute shortage.”—@sarahkliff   —“NEW: Read about the cheaper, more durable ventilator that never was. It’s a tale about just what happens when critical public-health…

Mar 29, 2020, 12:06 PM —“So what’s next? Will secession and decentralization take root as the wave of the political future? Or are we facing even further entrenchment of the centralized state authoritarian paradigm?”— Josh Deel It depends if you me and 1M other men make the choice. I’m going to make the choice. Will…

Mar 29, 2020, 12:34 PM —“Boomers hate crypto for some reason even though crypto still seems more real than printing infinity money.”—Avin Welleci   Fiat Currency or “Infinity” money (share-in-economy money) is a competitive necessity. We can’t survive in a world economy without it. And we certainly can’t insure one another against disasters without it.…

Mar 29, 2020, 3:41 PM Is this whole edifice as simple as women are biologically wired, totally unconsciously, for ‘men will handle it’ or ‘make men handle it’ just like they are wired for caring about babies? (sht testing)

Mar 29, 2020, 5:24 PM I mean you have ‘act in imitation of jesus’ that’s as simple as it gets. You have the silver rule, and the golden rule second. You have reciprocity within the limits of proportionality third. After that you’re into supply and demand curves, and sorry, there is no dummies version.

Mar 29, 2020, 5:32 PM “SO BASICALLY, THAT’S WHY WE LIVE IN A WORLD OF COOPERATION, TRADE, AND WAR” by Scott Strong So basically all of these schools of thought and socioeconomic systems fail because they fail to take into account the sober reality of humankind’s innate animal selfishness and super-predatory nature, AND that individual…
