Agency vs Submission.
Curt Doolittle 1st November 2018 at 6:08 pm It’s a very simple difference. Agency vs Submission. Heathens (Pagans in the pejorative) in western civilization are imagined heroes in competition with the spirits(dead), non-humans(green man, primitive man), demigods(powerful but mortal), and gods (powerful and immortal), and can, by effort and cunning outwit them – or –…
RECIPROCITY (FULL VERSION)
The natural law is (+)Sovereignty and (-)Reciprocity, in display word and deed, including reciprocity in speech (truthful speech) regardless of cost to the status(dominance, competence hierarch), within the limits of proportionality (in group defection) within the limits of the utility of cooperation (out groups). “Within the limits of the utility of cooperation.” There is no…
State Bureaucracies Must Organize for War
Apr 1, 2020, 2:36 PM I make the same argument. the CDC, Homeland Security, and Disaster Relief Organization, and The Treasury are either creating war plans and holding war games or they are wasting our time and money. Bureaucracies run by constant process rather than project deliverables, war plans, and shocks —“In 2015, I urged…
The Difficult Idea to Get Across: From Idealism to Realism
Apr 1, 2020, 2:52 PM (important) When I say “the big problem is switching people from idealism (homogenous bias) under which each person seeks whatever bias fits his, to realism (heterogeneous bias) that is aware of the market competition. In other words, monopoly is endemic in western moral thinking bcause we’ve been homogenous since our…
Morality: There Is Nothing Complex to Understand.
Apr 1, 2020, 2:52 PM The only moral imperative in-group is reciprocity within the limits of proportionality. The only moral decision in-group is Christian Tolerance, and Charity within the limits of that Tolerance. There is no-out group morality – none. The application of morality to an out-group is only one of utility. Only application of…
WHAT IS THE SOURCE OF MORALITY IF NOT XXXX?
Apr 1, 2020, 2:53 PM Very simple logic. Why should the strong not conquer, rape, pillage, and murder the weak? Because cooperation and numbers can be more rewarding over the long term. When are cooperation and numbers more rewarding than conquest, rape, pillage, and murder? When behavior is reciprocal. What does reciprocal mean? Do nothing…
Half Truths Are Sources of Ignorance
Yes I know of the seven laws of Noah. 😉 They are too primitive. They start with god (submission) rather than sovereignty ( responsibility). They don’t include truthful speech regardless of cost. They don’t prevent the great crimes of history (sophistry, false promise, baiting into hazard, fraud) Instead they are the origin of the license…
Reason for Christian Agitation
Apr 1, 2020, 2:54 PM Over the past few years I have worked very hard on comparative religion, and have come to understand why we desire it and how it fulfills those desires by a spectrum of means from the rational to the emotional. I was trying to solve a number of problems: The means…
My Work on Christianity
Apr 1, 2020, 2:54 PM I work under the principle that the laws of nature, the natural law of man, and the evolutionary necessity of the law of transcendence are the same whether we state them in Theological, Philosophical, and Scientific language. So whether you intuit, think, and speak in the Christian, Deist, or Naturalist…
Hierarchy of Needs for Artificial General Intelligence.
Apr 1, 2020, 2:55 PM —Curt, can you clarify on what you mean by making logical computers instead of numerical? what would that look like vs a numerical one?”—Caesar Nguyen Undecidable, true, false – not 0,1. Logical operations – not arithmetic operations. Build arithmetic from logical. HIERARCHY OF NEEDS FOR ART. GENERAL INTELLIGENCE. Analog (world)…
The Funnel
Apr 1, 2020, 2:55 PM Any movement works from the fringe to the center of the movement’s maximum reach. People on the fringe are novelty seekers. People in the middle are solution seekers. It’s a marketing funnel. There is no difference between a movement and any other product, service, or information.
Artificial Intelligence: “You Can’t Get There from Here”
Apr 1, 2020, 2:56 PM —“We can’t approach anything like intelligence with artificial neural networks … not in their current form.”— Hawkins —“All the trickly things we have done over the past seventy years hasn’t mattered – we’ve just taken advantage of moore’s law … it’s all short term gains.”— Rich Sutton (“Bitter Lesson”) —“If…
Predators and Parasites
Apr 1, 2020, 2:57 PM We’re apex predators. The problem is they’re apex parasites. Parasites are the most effective weapon against apex predators. That’s the narrative. How does one obtain restitution from the parasite? 😉
Summary of JFG/Doolittle on The Molyneux Debate
Apr 1, 2020, 2:57 PM SUMMARY OF JFG/DOOLITTLE ON THE MOLYNEUX DEBATE That was fun. I always enjoy JF. The public isn’t used to seeing how philosophy, law, science and math are done between practitioners – tediously precisely. I realize this kind of thing is difficult for the audience. And JF has to keep the…
We only Need Enough Knowledge and Skill to Serve One Another -And Enough Courage to Defend One Another.
Apr 1, 2020, 3:00 PM The Great Trade “Whether we understand, by reason, trust, or feeling doesn’t matter. We must only trade loyalty, duty, truth, and reciprocity – and that is enough.” THE THREE DEGREES OF AGREEMENT: THINK, TRUST, FEEL – AND THE VIRTUES, VICES, AND COMMANDMENTS We all satisfy our need for understanding differently:…
Which One of Us Denies God’s Hand?
Apr 3, 2020, 2:08 AM P’s premise is sovereignty reciprocity and testifiability that produce universal calculability in human word and deed. And that faith is by definition and necessity not testifiable. Meaning that one does not bring faith to court. if it isn’t a matter for court, then do as you will. We cannot legislate…
You Can Find Anything There that You Want To
Apr 3, 2020, 9:03 AM Astrology, Numerology, Fortune Telling, Divination, and the Bible all depend on the same process: you can find anything there that you want to. There is a value to these tricks however, in that they free you from responsibility for free association. And they bypass cognitive bias and error the same…
Calculating the Value
Apr 3, 2020, 9:25 AM There is a value in ancient things – that is why they persisted. The question is understanding the value that exists rather than the value claimed exists, and a full accounting of externalities good and bad. re: magic, occult, religion, myths.
Intention Is Not Required for One to Lie
Apr 3, 2020, 9:40 AM The difference between testimonial truth and honesty is substantial, but perhaps the most surprising is that that we do not need to intend to lie to lie. We need only speak a lie whether we intend to or not. Most of us are carriers of lies. Because we do not…
One Author Isn’t Enough. but That’s Where Many People Stop.
One author isn’t enough. But that’s where many people stop. It’s Nietzsche, THEN Jung, Frazer, Campbell, Dumezil, Vonnegut, THEN cognitive Science, THEN Haidt, Doolittle. Jung is easily misdirected without Nietzsche’s ‘the birth of tragedy’. Campbell is misdirected without dumezil and vonnegut. Both groups without the grammars, reciprocity, and haidt’s moral intuitions. And western civ lost…
Notes on Eric Weinstein’s Theory
He demonstrates why geometry must remain the basis for mathematics, else it becomes ordinary language with all it’s faults – long standing complaint – and primary pre-war concern of mathematicians who were concerned by the restoration of mysticism in mathematics by empty verbalisms like ‘multiple infinities’ vs ‘pairing off at different rates’. This restoration of…
A Critical Principle
Apr 3, 2020, 10:46 AM By Daniel Roland Anderson If you ever want to understand Natural Law, this is a critical principle. If you have not performed Due Diligence, and you serve as a conduit for falsehood, you are “lying” under the P definition of lying. So sometimes when we call you liar, we aren’t…
P Grammars Tie All the Ways of Knowing Together
Apr 3, 2020, 10:49 AM by Ryan Drummond I think reading Jung without reading Nietzsche can easily bait one into intellectual (and moral) hazard. I’d say, too, that reading Nietzsche without reading the cognitive sciences or the work of yourself, for example, can bait people into empirical hazard. The breadth of such work simply can’t…
Compensating for The Dominance of Feminism in Education
Apr 3, 2020, 11:23 AM Again. What do you think I was saying? “Game is cognitive behavioral therapy for infantilized males (at the expense of infantilized females, caused by the tendency of women to infantilize, because the infantile are easily manipulated by seduction across the infant-child-female-male spectrum, and this is why we must return to…
Gender(sex) Compatibilism
Apr 3, 2020, 11:23 AM Yes, I’m and advocate for COMPATIBILISM. Not equality but compatibility in a division of reproductive, productive, cognitive, and temporal labor. Which is why I always make sure I have women around me when I run companies. Because I am like most men, blind to some range of the senses, just…
