  • Does P Epistemology Stack Up?

    by Curt Doolittle, for philosophy supernerds. (Q via Joel Davis ) [W]ell, all of these examples are correct criticisms of justificationism. But P is ONLY falsificationary. Ideal truth and promises of ideal proof are all fallacies in P. All we can know is what we can testify to, and if we exhaust all possible dimensions…

  • Why Learn the Grammars?

    [I]f you study math, programming, the physical sciences, economics, or law, you will notice the similarity, in that there are n-number of software design patterns at every level of complexity; n-number of physical laws at every level of complexity; there are n-number of economic ideas at every level of complexity; and n-number of properties of…

  • Regarding Economic Reform

    VERY IMPORTANT (Regarding Economic Reform) [O]rdinary people need elites, and elites need ordinary people unless dis-intermediated by capital. So end disintermediation by capital and you restore the reciprocal dependence of elites upon ordinary people. So in order to prevent elites from defecting from their ordinary people the people must prevent disintermediation their from elites by…

  • Reducing the Cannon of The West to A Bible

    [T]he west never had a bible, but a canon, and that canon was written in multiple frames although primarily scientific, legal, philosophical, normative, literary, and theological. While we traditionally had rule of law beyond which no leader may tread, we allowed liberalism (even classical liberalism) to violate that traditional law. Philosophy, theology, tradition, are just…

  • Is the State Moral?

    —“Dear mr Doolittle, How can the state, based on extortion and theft, be reciprocal? Real question. Not some goofy troll. Kind regards”— Sietze Bosman @fryskefilosoof [T]he state enforces order (cooperation) sufficient to deny competitors access to the territory, resources, people, their production, and networks of productivity and trade. And to deny internal inhibitors to the…

  • Q: How Can Violence Be Reciprocal (moral)?

    Q: HOW CAN VIOLENCE BE RECIPROCAL (MORAL)? —“How can violence be reciprocal?”—Sietze Bosman @fryskefilosoof Returning violence is and act of reciprocity. Forcing Restitution and if necessary punishment (disincentive for repetition), restores reciprocity. Preemptive violence insures against ir-reciprocity. COUNSEL: Always use a series of at least 3 to 5 when analyzing propositions. Using series – which…

  • Counsel: Philosophy vs Sophism

    COUNSEL: PHILOSOPHY VS SOPHISM [G]iven any term, always use a series of at least 3 to 5 when analyzing propositions. I prefer 8 to 12 whenever I can get them, and english because it has so vast a vocabulary of working, governing, intellectual, logical, and scientific origins is extremely useful for creating constellations of constant…

  • A Few September Quotes

    –“Libertarianism Requires Permission. Sovereigntarianism Doesn’t.”-Curt Doolittle –“Western ethics (reciprocity) are scientific. And always have been. For 5000 years. That is why we invented reason and science. We applied our law to everything.”— Curt “Sovereignty, liberty and freedom are byproducts not means.”- Curt Doolittle —“Testimony … that’s pretty cool as a basis for civilization. Never would…

  • Legit Ad Hom’s Against Doolittle

    [J]ust ’cause it’s come up again.  I prefer to stand out in front of criticism rather than let people presume I’m making a moral claim about myself. I’m not. List of legitimate Ad Hom’s. Multiple marriages. Put business before family. Multiple relationships. Put business and philosophy before relationship. High risk biz ventures most of which…

  • Yes We Need Order Rather than Chaos

    (from Gab) —“Jefferson? We don’t need freedom, we need order”– @alternative_right [Y]es, but what order? Order of Truth, Science, Law and productive cooperation? (Rule of Law – Competition between men under the law of reciprocity.) Or order of Lies, Supernaturalism, Scripture and Parasitism – Rule by men? (Rule by Church Men – Priests) Or order…

  • The American Postwar Failure Financed by American Debt

      |PROCESS|Traditional Law (Constitutionalism) > Utility > Postwar Morality > Economics > Obama-chaos > Decline > Civil War. [W]e didn’t have a ‘bible’ of western civ beyond which no man may tread. That’s the beginning of the problem: tradition vs articulation of the science under our tradition. We didn’t organize against neoliberalism. We had no…

  • Hippocampal, Entorhinal, and Cortical Data Structures

      Well it’s… we have enough info now. The nobel was awarded for good reason. now we know how the brain matches all these fragments together into a coherent experience.

  • They Express Their World View

    by Andy Curzon [I] see Taleb as having had two useful insights – the Black Swan and antifragility (a cat vs a washing machine ‘n’all). Skin in the game was an offshoot (and rather obvious, although he backs it up with data sets), and fooled by randomness was hackneyed old material. It’s a funny journey…

  • Ahmed Reda Says It Best

    AHMED REDA SAYS IT BEST —“A Propertarian is expected to (and must) use Mathematics (as a universal language of measurement), Science (as a universal language of testimony), Law and Economics (as a universal language of decidability), Natural history (as a universal language of evidence), Literature (as a universal language of meaning) and Mindfulness (as the…

  • Law as A Solution

    —“One of the common themes we see from some people who countersignal us is often they seem to pooh-pooh law as a solution and think that everything can be solved with some sort of aesthetic or spiritual movement. These guys are often young. I see them as just looking for a solution within a frame…

  • Why Universal Nationalism vs Globalism

    WHY UNIVERSAL NATIONALISM VS GLOBALISM by Curt Doolittle —“I do universal nationalism. Why? Because natural law judges it as the only not-immoral means of cooperation. But that doesn’t tell you much. Instead it’s because “all men are distant relations cooperating to raise their people by the production of commons information, goods, and services, best suited…

  • Propertarianism: Cooperation

    PROPERTARIANISM: COOPERATION The Evolution of Cooperation: 1) Acquisitiveness: To survive and reproduce, humans must acquire and inventory many categories of resources, and evolved to demonstrate constant acquisitiveness of those resources. 2) Property: The scope of those things they act upon, or choose not to act upon, in anticipation of obtaining as inventory (a store of…

  • Evolution vs Intelligent Design (Core)

    EVOLUTION VS INTELLIGENT DESIGN (core) —“Are you saying you support Darwanism over Christianity or intelligent design?”—Mark E. Haney 1 – I cannot falsify evolution and every single evidence from the fundamental structure of the universe to the imagination of man is a product of a very small number of possibilities in very great permutation, just…

  • Immateriality of Gods.

    IMMATERIALITY OF GODS. The Four Reasons Are 1. God’s silence, 2. God’s inaction, 3. the lack of evidence, and 4. the universe looks exactly like a godless universe would, and not at all like a Christian universe would, even down to its very structure. Of course this is true if you think gods are material…

  • Rate of Mutation Tells Us Little Other than Time.

    SORRY ALL BUT, NO. RATE OF MUTATION TELLS US LITTLE OTHER THAN TIME. (a) mutation rate != yardage (or any other linear measure) (b) some mutations (cortical scale) are profoundly differentiating – just one gene. (20% of neurons in the cortex are regulatory That number increases by region. The same is true for genes. It…

  • What is Enough?

    NO. LAW – A VIA NEGATIVA – IS NOT ENOUGH. BUT WHAT RELIGIOUS STRATEGY, NARRATIVE, GRAMMAR, AND DEBT ARE ENOUGH?

  • The Universe Is Godless. The Mind of Man Is Not

    THE UNIVERSE IS GODLESS. THE MIND OF MAN IS NOT [H]ow many proposed proposed christian structures have there been? They’ve all been wrong, right? Instead, we see a largely dead, empty universe, where man is irrelevant, nearly all of which is hostile to life, organized by very simple rules – rules which mean there is…

  • The Universe Is Godless – But for Us

    THE UNIVERSE IS GODLESS. THE MIND OF MAN IS NOT. AND WE CAN CHANGE THE UNIVERSE. —“How does one cope with this fact? Like why acquire agency for the sake of acquiring it? I know you’ve mentioned that philosophy answers this for us – would you care to elaborate?”—Yiannis Kontinopoulos TO WORK TOGETHER TO BECOME…
