One Must Know Almost Everything in Order to Know Anything.
Contra Socrates, the reality is, that one must know almost everything in order to know anything. At least, that’s my experience – breadth of knowledge falsifies presumptions of knowledge. And by knowing almost everything you can see that pattern causing everything, and it’s trivially simple. The universe is trivially simple in cause, just extraordinary in…
Youtube’s Possibility of Civil War Deniers – Empty Hats
YT POSSIBILITY OF CIVIL WAR DENIERS – EMPTY HATS I’m having a fun time watching this cascade of CW denial YT videos coming out – none of which contain any substantive content. I mean, I’ve had the FBI in my house a number of times precisely because a civil war is possible, and they’ve…
“Q: Curt: What are your refutations of the arguments against operationalism?”
–“Q: Curt: What are your refutations of the arguments against operationalism?”– Great question. Thanks for asking. I should write a full article addressing the old issues with the various operational schools and intuitionism et al. Simple answer, if you understand the debate: (a) falsification vs justification (b) testifiability vs meaning (c) decidability…
The AI Age Needs Epistemology and Ethics from First Principles.
–“‘Normie’ describes the type of person who lets other people decide about what one believes to be good and true. The success of modern homo sapiens has been a triumph of human programmability, but the AI age needs epistemology and ethics from first principles.“– Joscha Bach Yes. Though, what are the chances that I (we)…

I’m Not Anti Christian
I’M NOT ANTI CHRISTIAN I’m anti-abrahamism (lying), not anti christian (Jesus). If you want fundamentalism, you need to learn to lie to justify it. Learning the very simple lesson Jesus teaches takes not rationalization, justification, mysticism, supernaturalism, fiction, fraud, or lying. Jesus solve the problem of the prisoner’s dilemma of cooperation by demanding the counter…
Mastery vs Jack of All Trades
Hmm… lets play with this a bit to explain it a bit more: “Each additional skill enhances ability to perform existing skills.” |Knowledge|: Ignorance > Awareness > Understanding > Utility > Competency > Skill > Mastery > Artisanal Mastery > Iconic within movement within field (Art). As such: “A jack of all…
It’s All Word Salad to You?
This is why my writing looks like word salad to you: 1) It’s much closer to mathematics and programmatic logic than it is to ordinary english. In fact it’s ‘a formal operational logic’ meaning a lot like programming. 2) All technical fields prevent ambiguity and confusion by using terms specific to the…
Aristotle’s Use of “Excellence”
–“Q: What do truth, excellence, and beauty mean?”– Great question. |Contribution To The Commons|: Duty > True > Good > Excellent > Beautiful > Heroic Basically these are the criteria demanding the maximum contribution to the commons (heroism) in exchange for respect and status. Conversely, they are the criteria by which we can determine if…

The Immorality of The Civil War
–“There are no solutions only trade-offs”– This is the first principle social, political and economic measurement: accounting for the difference between choices and full accounting of both the seen and unseen in those choices. Regarding: —“So enslaved people just just suffer for an (at the time) unknown number of years waiting for a natural process?”–…
It Would Be a House-To-House war
–“…there won’t be a state v state “civil war..”– @VDAREJamesK When the predictions of a future US civil war in response to demographic shifts occurred in the 90s, everyone, but especially Lind was clear that it would be a house-to-house war which would be more equivalent to recent middle easter civil wars, with the…
The Civil War was fought to…
–“The Civil War was fought to force the States who chose to leave the Union back into the Union”–@DylanMAllman Yes you’re correct. Why? (a) territorial and wealth advantage of western expansion.(b) protection of those already ‘entrepreneurially’ settling those areas.(c) western expansion was necessary to keep the ‘warlike’ europeans out of ‘our continent’.(d) The north had…
The difference between a crime and a tort
RE: “Disingenuous”The difference between a crime(you should know not to do this) and a tort (you failed sufficient due diligence to defend against this) is intent. You are still guilty of stating a falsehood (lying) if you state a falsehood because you failed to perform the due diligence sufficiently to ensure you could testify to…
Racial Composition of Puerto Rico
The racial composition of Puerto Rico is diverse and has been shaped by native American settlement, European colonization, slavery, and economic migration. Here’s a breakdown based on various sources: According to a 2023 report, the distribution of Puerto Rico’s population by self identified race is as follows:– “White”: 51.15%– Some other race: 21.59% – Multiracial:…
There are no conditions known to man where humans do not demonstrate race, civilization, culture, class, age, and sex bias.
There are no conditions known to man where humans do not demonstrate race, civilization, culture, class, age, and sex bias. In fact there is evidence without exception that humans organize into groups that grant them the lowest opportunity cost of status and attention necessary to identify opportunities for cooperation. Lee Qwan Yew is famous for…
Slavery Wasn’t The Sole Cause It Was The Easy One To Propagandize.
Take slavery off the table by the north agreeing to borrow the money to buy the slaves and repatriate them to africa. Assuming that the south would tolerate the horrific economic consequences until they forced enough innovation to allow (especially cotton) harvesting with more automation (the north crops didn’t require it), then why would the…
Respect Teacher’s Opinions or Knowledge? Are you Insane?
Teachers are from the bottom 15% of their high school graduating class, and their education “degree”, aside from the fact that it should take no longer than six months of training and one year of apprenticeship, and more, aside from the hilarity that the average teacher’s IQ (109) is below the minimum for college…
The Causes of The Past Present and Future Civil Wars … No More Lies.
The Northern opposition to slavery and its expansion was a mixture of economic self-interest, political strategy, and moral principle. While it is true that economic and political factors played a substantial role, the moral dimension, particularly the influence of the abolitionist movement, cannot be dismissed as merely a pretense – instead, that political parties use…
DEFINITION: Imposition of Costs
|Severity|: Aggress <- Impose <- Infringe The words “aggress,” “impose,” and “infringe” have distinct meanings but can sometimes be related in the context of actions that overstep boundaries. – “aggress” focuses on initiating conflict, – “impose” on causing unwelcome burdens (costs), and – “infringe” on violating rules or rights (opportunities). Here’s a comparison and contrast…
The North and South Differences in Incentives vs “Its All About Slavery” Nonsense
(Part of my ‘it’s not really slavery’ but economics and self determination that caused the war) Moralizing an economic issue is always and everywhere a useful political tactic. Propaganda to justify a costly war during and after it’s conduct is always and everywhere also a useful political tactic. Grownups who study history pay little heed…
NLI Micro Lesson
Article I.IV: The Natural LawSection: Terms of CooperationThere exists only one Natural Law of Cooperation and that is Reciprocity; where reciprocity preserves sovereignty, and sovereignty preserves self determination, and self determination preserves individual and group evolutionary computation, and evolutionary computation defeats the dark forces of time, ignorance, and the risks of flora, fauna, mankind, geology,…
NLI Adjustment: Via Positiva Aristocracy
For more than a decade now, the broader community has asked me to work in the via positiva (meaning what we should do), instead of the via negativa of the law (what we should not do). And while I quite accidentally discovered that the via positiva of the four to five principles of christianity –…
