Year: 2020

Feb 24, 2020, 10:45 AM —“The transition in Hesiod’s theogony from primordial forces of nature (Titans) through the Titanomachy where the immortals gain mastery over these forces is the same sequence found in the Scandinavian transition from the older Vanir nature gods to the Aesir.”—Scott De Warren OUR DESTINY IS GOD HOOD

Feb 24, 2020, 10:49 AM by Bill Joslin – From what i understand currency pertained to debt tracking before it was used for trade. (in group tally of debts within small communities that distributed resources and only engaged in formal trade across groups)(greaber’s Debt) (oddly we’ve come full circle with currency created when debts are…

Feb 24, 2020, 10:55 AM The Via- Positiva Small, homogenous, low power distance, polities under rule of law, and their naturally limited capacity for fiat currency inflation demonstrate the optimum mixed economies for both trade and redistribution. The optimum organization of such a polity is by Sovereignty, Rule of law of Reciprocity, an independent cult…

Feb 24, 2020, 11:21 AM —“I feel you are missing the archetypal experience description. I get that that could be included in testimonial but feel empirical science/lawful testimony and mystical testimony are two different functions.”—Bill Smith Try again. I can sense something there and I probably know how to answer it but I’m not sure.…

Feb 24, 2020, 11:23 AM Free market capitalism is not what raises people. It’s rule of law that limits irreciprocity and forces people into LIMITED MARKETS, not ‘free’ markets. Those markets are limited to the prohibition on externalities. Free market capitalism was invented by the abrahamists to circumvent those limits and to profit from false…

Feb 24, 2020, 11:37 AM The revolution in the ancient world was democritus’ atomism, socratic skepticism (failure), platonic idealism(failure), and the success of aristotelian reason, empiricism, proto-science, stoic and epicurean replacement of conflationary religion, and roman law and administration, creating markets for all peoples – but the semites (the equivalent of ghettos) couldn’t grasp that…

Feb 24, 2020, 11:47 AM Any evidentiary claim must be either an example (meaning) that is followed by operational construction (falsification), or by non operational correlation, exhaustive evidence, illustrating the limits (falsification). These are the only two search criteria available for scientific(testifiable, due diligence, warrantable) statements. Here is what we do in P: Create a…

Feb 24, 2020, 12:17 PM Where are aristotle, plato, socrates, zeno, epicurus, roman law, greek mathematics, and the christian destruction of the ancient world in your narrative? The talmud and the bible an koran are not an enlightenment but simply the marxism-socialism- postmodernism-feminism of the ancient world: the coutner-revolution against reason. The revolution in the…

Feb 24, 2020, 4:29 PM In order to suppress controversy you’re overstating your case. You’re representing sources, because under the defensive protection of the scientific method, we don’t hypothesize without evidence. Meanwhile I think Dumezil and the rest of us are interested in the evolution of european natural religion over time. To claim we can’t…

Feb 24, 2020, 6:35 PM —“The revelation: As a man I have a duty to and necessarily a loyalty to men. The world needs men, and it takes men to make men. And I will not dodge that responsibility again.”— A Friend

Feb 24, 2020, 7:38 PM —“So by the end of this century, as little as 1/5 of the population of the presently-industrialized world could be responsible for perhaps (my number) 85% of productivity, living in physical comfort but shunted into an ever-tighter technical labor market requiring career dedication to stay ahead in (hence out of…

Feb 24, 2020, 9:14 PM I don’t’ think you understand what I mean by that statement. I mean that if I write a constructivist proof that I don’t err. The reason is that it’s so fking difficult to err if you write one. The phrasing is to bait the other party into making an argument,…

I follow Cheney (specialists) for international negotiation, and then keep up with the research, but nothing has changed since I first started in the80’s other than indian and chinese awareness of american markets and styles. IMPORTANT: The west uses the OODA loop. that is our group strategy. Always has been. Initiative and manuever and speed.…

Mar 26, 2020, 12:30 PM “Freedom and Liberty are had by permission, sovereignty is a fact.” —“Libertarianism ain’t gonna survive this crisis. It will be seen as, not just foolish, but shockingly immoral when this is over.”—Spencer —“It’s going to evolve into Propertarianism. You two should debate about this, I’m serious.”—Dark Horse The structure and…

Mar 26, 2020, 12:57 PM There is nothing brilliant to be learned from the virus other than the fact that the government and bureaucracy failed again, by regulating during a stable market such that they created fragility (as always) during a panic market – thereby eliminating the european advantage (OODA LOOP) of dynamic adaptation to…

Mar 26, 2020, 1:35 PM —“Dear Curt, I’ve watched several of your discussions with John Mark over the past year or so. Your ideas are very interesting. Tell me, have you tested your concepts, as outlined The Steps To American Restoration, by running a cost analysis and economic money flow? If the answer is yes,…

Mar 26, 2020, 6:37 PM The most important reformations in the constitution have to do with the law and rights. The rest of it decreases power distance as intended by the framers. Or the various political, economic, commercial, and educational reforms. If I keep at it for another few weeks I can get the constitution…

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…
