  —“I see is faith may be better at creating a moral community with a greater majority within a group.”—Jack Scarbrough Well, religion does, the question is whether we confuse religion (myth, ritual, debt, oath, feast, festival) with the supernatural, and in particular a pretty evil supernatural despot.

(from elsewhere) I have worked on automating legal argument since we wrote ipx drivers by hand, and was certainly one of the first people to do it for every federal court. I currently work on the strict construction of law from the test of reciprocity, and the tests of whether one is given truthful testimony.…

Oct 20, 2019, 1:37 PM The military is the #1 demographic in support of their state seceding from the union ~Red State Secession (Via John Mark)

(from elsewhere) Many people use writing for therapy, escape, or self entertainment, not for others to actually read. I’m a philosopher. Philosophers have to generate a novel idea, and write a book advocating and defending it. Thinking philosophically only means you’re human, doing an arts and crafts hobby not a philosopher. Likewise, writing a story…

I don’t care if your a left wing postmodern liar or a right wing postmodern liar. Lying is lying and the purpose of P is to end the utility of lying forever. TO:? Imperius —“What is meant by the contrast between “description within experience” and “analogy beyond”?— Imperius Within the limits of sense perception Within…

—“What about the Military under P?”– The P constitution preserves the federal military system for the simple reasons that (a) we need to prevent hostiles taking territory on this continent (b) military is the only organization the benefits tremendously from scale. We also push forward military reforms like the light infantry proposal, limiting constraints on…

—“I’m in the Marines, I’m a ri–t winger. If we were to boogaloo will there be ethnic separation in propertarianism? Please answer honestly.”— Tyler Granberry No. Period. Honestly, Truthfully. (I will get a ton of sh-t for saying that from the WN crowd.) There is a right of voluntary DISASSOCIATION as well as ASSOCIATION meaning…

The highest trucker income by state is max just over 50K. Although there are some that make 80K. So that’s 4-5k take home per month (at best). Now if you were a trucker and you could go to your bank, assuming you had some history there, and get ‘free’ 5k per month to STAY HOME…

Oct 20, 2019, 8:35 PM —“most philosophers are terrible writers”— Yep. Well, there are a number of good reasons, the first of which is the attempt to construct a new paradigm using existing language – some of which, like aristotle’s is clarifying, some of which like Heidegger is obscurant, and some of which like derrida…

The Superpower is gone with the restoration of normalcy in the post-communist era – world powers are returning, and in doing so the world returns to normal. Every civlization has a core state. Core states are wealthiest and most powerful, and they constrain the actions of their civilizational members. India is a civilization, and china…

Most right wingers focus on self improvement but most military action is a function of teamwork not individual achievement. Your primary weapon is physical fitness. Eighty percent of weapon effectiveness is learned in the first few weeks. That’s why riflement defeated professional warriors ending the feudal era.   Oct 21, 2019, 10:05 AM

  How do we disambiguate P-Method, P-Law, and a P-Constitution Template, and P-Constitutions for Each Polity? The system of thought we call propertarianism – that would be better called ‘natural law’ or ‘Testmonialism’ – is a methodology that completes the sciences by completing the transformation of traditional philosophical categories of metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, politics, and…

DISAMBIGUATING “PROPERTARIANISM” INTO ITS CONSTITUENT COMPONENTS P – Method P – Method to Politics P- Politics to Western Civ.        

The value of religion and myth is conflation and monopoly. The value of law and history is deflation and markets. The human mind seeks homogeneity – the simplest possible system of comparison – so the western model is the hardest model for human beings to accommodate: a market of ideas using different grammars, where the…

“From each according to his ability, to each according to his need” creates a lot of people feeling extremely needy. It inverts the natural benefits of productivity, and makes individual productivity a burden. Those who are productive require less from others…while those who are unproductive require much from others. It incentivizes non-production. It incentivizes parasitism.…

  You can’t write from a feeling – you can’t maintain it. You can’t write from inspiration – it will dissipate. OR…. You can identify a question or a problem, or an argument (persuasion), and write a record of your exploration of it. You can identify a theory, and write your character’s investigation of it.…

  0) I started writing fiction in first grade. I read … a lot. I never went anywhere without books (plural). 1) I wrote my first 100+ page book at 13. (it was interesting but formulaic and terrible. I did a lot of drawing (very good) in pencil. And then pen and ink. I did…

I suppose I ought to point out that I treat fiction as one of the “Grammars” in P, and I include the “archetypes, plots, and sentences” (the grammar(logic) of fiction) in the book. It might be helpful or disheartening to see all the forms of human communication reduced to algorithmic format, tied back to geometry,…

  —“A man of immense creativity and endless ideas, Balzac was yet a creature of habit; indeed, a ?xed routine was a large part of his success. He isolated himself from the world so that he could concentrate on his writing. He did this in two ways: ?rst, by staying in his home with the…

  And we speak differently whether or not members of the opposite sex are the the room or hearing distance. Both are more reserved in the presence of the opposite sex. So when writing characters, don’t force the audience out of suspension of disbelief. Laurelle asked: —“Why does Cane find it necessary, in a 2009…

WHY DO PUNISHMENTS FOR CRIMES VARY? (from elsewhere) —“The reason for differences in sentencing, which are true, result from the law having three objectives 1) restitution (if possible), 2) prevention of repetition (repeating), 3) prevention of imitation (spreading). Those who have more to lose are more able to perform restitution and less likely to engage…

TOUGH LOVE: THE REASON FOR ASYMMETRY IN ARREST, PROSECUTION, AND CONVICTION Again, assuming the same crime, the reason for asymmetry of prosecution and conviction is ‘fleeing officers, non-compliance with officers, resistance to arrest, lack of remorse, lack of family and parental guarantee of constraint, known associates, general demeanor (conform or non-conforming), behavior in custody, lack…

Oct 21, 2019, 9:55 PM FORMULA FOR A FILM SCRIPT: PAGES By Gene Turnbow (Quora) As much as I wish it weren’t so, there is still a formula for a film script. Your action had better start before page 10 or you’re toast. This is about 10% of the way through your script, and it’s…

Marriage is a private contract yes, but it is insured by the community, because of the consequences of broken families placing a burden via moral hazard on the community. So, a marriage contract consists (under natural law) as partnership (not corporation) constructed by the mutual exchange of powers of attorney limited only by those limitations…
