Definitions of Techniques of Deception
DEFINITIONS: LOADING, FRAMING, OVERLOADING. Loading = Moral Loading (a form of biasing a suggestion, causing the person to be more heavily influenced by intuition – social effects.) Framing = a form of informational cherrypicking where one eliminates some information and overloads with other information, in order to bias the conclusions of others. Overloading = Cognitive…
Definitions: Decentralization
Q&A: –“Curt, is decentralisation a misnomer?”— GREAT QUESTION: Yes. Decentralization merely refers to redistribution of labor to additional locations without necessarily affecting the methods of decidability and degree of homogeneity. Whereas devolution, disempowerment, and secession are accurate terms since we restore the market and our ability to use it to calculate.
Definitions: Domestication vs Infantilization
DOMESTICATION: The use of institutions to delay and reduce sexual maturity through intergenerational selection. (the reduction of impulsivity – largely through the reduction of testosterone and estrogen.) –vs– INFANTILIZATION: The use of information to delay and reduce cognitive ability – largely through the distribution of disinformation. Today’s youth have been infantilized, and too many are…
Religion = Infantilization, Truth=Transcendence
***MYTH, RITUAL, NATURAL LAW: MATURATION VS RELIGION, RITUAL, SUPERNATURAL LAW: INFANTILIZATION ***THE PURPOSE OF MYTH AND RITUAL IS THE COORDINATION OF DECIDABILITY*** ***THE PURPOSE OF RELIGION IS INFANTILIZATION***
Definitions of Relations
EMPLOYEE Responsible for own provision of room and board and care from the product of one’s wages. FARMER Holds sufficient land and labor to produce goods not only for consumption but for sale in the market, as personal property. PEASANT Holds a small plot of land farmed by the family, for family consumption, as family…
Definition: Paedomorphic Evolution
It’s called Paedomorphic Evolution: Genetic Pacification selecting for lower maturity – the “juvenile”. One of which is Gracilization: loss of bone mass. The ‘strange’ sexual interests of the Japanese (and the asians) and our men’s attraction to Asian women, is very likely due to the greater paedomorphism of the asians and the lower levels of…
Types of Promise(Warranty)
Unless one starts with a definition of truth these are fairly meaningless words. More desperate attempts to apply axiomatic or theoretic rules to loaded, framed, colloquial speech without the awareness that colloquial speech evolved to tolerate laziness, obscure ignorance, convey moral promise, and as such is neither axiomatic or theoretic but merely “meaningful”: conveying associations…
Business Terminology, Scale.
ESTABLISHMENT (small/craft) An establishment is a single physical location where business is conducted or where services or industrial operations are performed. FIRM (regional/industry): A firm is a business organization consisting of one or more domestic establishments in the same state and industry under common ownership or control. ENTERPRISE(National/Federation) An enterprise is a business organization consisting…
The Intellectual Catastrophe Of Specialization And The Cure For It In Education
Outside of the top 5% in all disciplines: – Physicists are often ridiculous because either they don’t understand their own subject, or because they lack the philosophical training to know the difference between general rules of the discipline (dogma) and the epistemological necessity that these general rules provide a shortcut for. – Economists are often…
The Divine, Supernatural, Moral, And Scientific
—“Is the universe open for free actions or divine interventions or other special divine actions? Are there reasons for the impossibility claims?”— We have not yet eliminated the possibility. We certainly cannot seem to construct any test of such things. All tests we run that would require human control of outcomes have failed – spectacularly.…
There Is Only One ‘Philosophy’ If We Speak The Truth. The Rest Is Ignorance, Error, Bias And Lies
(very important for anyone interested in philosophy) *(How should we teach Philosophy? Let me tell you.)* One can teach philosophy as historical LITERATURE(Errors, Lies and Failures). Or one can teach philosophy as the evolution of TRUTH TELLING (science). If you want to teach the history of TRUTH then you teach western philosophy – at least…
The Correct Answer To “What Are Human Rights”
*(Answers to this question show the tragedy of a late 20th-century education.)* Necessary (Correct) Definitions: Right: a contractual obligation by another party to perform some actions, and refrain from other actions Negative Right: a contractual obligation by another party to refrain from actions: to forgo opportunities for gains. Positive Right: a contractual obligation by another…
Smartness vs Genius
There is a big difference between smartness and genius. I consider quite a few people smarter than I am in this dimension or that – and I think it’s related to their ability to master things like chess, chemistry, and mathematics, using axiomatic systems to permute applications of rules within the limits of the game.…
What Do We Meany by Natural Law?
(with updates by Doolittle) A Little History of Natural Law – From The Good, to the Moral, to the Rational, to the Scientific. What is Law? Law, in its generic sense, is a body of rules of action or conduct prescribed by controlling authority, and having binding legal force. That which must be obeyed and…
Conflation and Deconflation in Argument
(important concept in demarcation between science and non-science) I want to try to put my objection – if we can call it an objection – into a more articulate form, and see if I can convince you, or at least see if I am capable of communicating this idea with any degree of clarity. 1…
True Names
TRUE NAMES (notes to self for current line of thought) —“Any sufficiently true property of the universe appears to the trained eye as a model rather than reality.”—Jonathan Page Constancy and determinism and true names. True = True Name. True name is “invariant”. If we pass the tests of dimensional consistency that I suggest with…
Q&A: “Curt: What Defines Middle Class?”
—“What defines the middle class according to you? I go by the British definition” — Dawid Wella The common definition is: —“the social group between the upper(not working) and working (laboring) classes, including professional and business workers and their families(managerial).”— I would use: ***”People who calculate, organize, manage, production, distribution, and trade.”*** Because I think…
Privilege as a Commons
[C]ritics of privilege allege that it is unearned, and therefore unfair. Well, part of that’s true, so far as it goes. I didn’t earn my privilege. I inherited most of it. But I do pay to maintain it. And I must pay to add to it, so that I may pass on more to my children.Every…
Repositioning Economics, Sociology, Philosophy and Law
[S]o today I have discussed repositioning economics as social science, and social science as pseudoscience. And repositioning philosophy as positive aspirational literature of rationalist priests, and negative critical law, of empirical judges. This mirrors the epistemological method of creative free association to arrive at hypothesis, and criticism to test theories in the hope of discovering…
Definitions: Religion, Ideology, Philosophy, Law. Science
Religion, Ideology, Philosophy, Law. Science A religion consists of a set of myths and rules the purpose of which is to resist outsiders, and to set limits on behavior or to be treated as an outsider and deprived of opportunity and insurance of the in-group. Hence most religions evolve with the weak, who have no…
Truth, science, philosophy, law, aesthetics are identical
[T]RUTH GOODNESS(MORAL) AND BEAUTY = SCIENCE Testimony: Identity (Categorically consistent) Internally (Logically) consistent Externally Correspondent (Empirically Consistent) Existentially Possible Parsimonious (fully accounted, parsimonious, limits) Moral (productive, fully informed, warrantied voluntary transfers) Beautiful (craft, aesthetic, moral, resources) That would mean that truth, science, philosophy, law, aesthetics were identical. THE GRAND SEQUENCE Truth, Manners, Ethics, Morals, Liberty,…
Q&A: “Curt; Do You Have a Concise Definition for Testimonialism?”
Colloquially: “The completion of the scientific method for the purpose of the conduct of law”. Testimonial Truth: Testimony (Speech) that is warrantied by the speaker through the performance of due diligence against imaginary content, error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, deception and fraud. The only truth that can exist is that which is spoken. We can…
Continental -> Postmodern Philosophy -vs- Analytic -> Testimonial Philosophy
ANALYTIC PHILOSOPHY -> POSTMODERN -> TESTIMONIAL PHILOSOPHY [Y]ou see all these damned lists I make? All these definitions I write? How I walk through long sequences of reasoning? How I’m pedantic about what information is present, and what operation alters what information? How I place great burden on your ability to maintain a chain of…
Justice vs Morality vs Law : Confusion Because of Ideal Types Rather Than Spectra
JUSTICE VS MORALITY VS LAW? IT STUMPED SOCRATES, BUT SHOULDN’T – THE ERROR OF IDEAL TYPES OVER SPECTRA [T]he terms Justice, Morality and Law refer to spectrums, not states, and that is why the subject is confusing to people when it should not be. Natural Law (logically necessary), customary law (evolved), legislation (commands), and regulations…
