Rationalism vs Falsificationism
Rationalism = Excuse. Falsificationism = Necessity 1) You know, I specialize in the methods of deception, particularly by moral appeal and hazard: (a) Abrahamism: Pilpul via-positiva (Excuse) vs Critique via-negativa (Ridicule) – vs – (b) Aryanism: Law via-positiva (“I May”) vs Science via-Negativa (Survival from testing) 2) Once you see Pilpul and Critique as techniques…

—“Curt: How should the (ideal) relationship between homosexuals and society exist or be constructed, to make homosexuals experience of society be the best it can be, while also making society’s experience of homosexuals be the best it can be? There are a lot of mixed messages out there… and you actually make sense and can…

—“Eggs Are the Same Inside, So Are Humans”—
The egg can’t remember different interpretations of history, different rules of conduct, different ethics, different morals, different methods of discourse, different criteria for truth, and in particular, different laws. Humans can. The egg can be harmful and deadly by exposure to bacteria, and the human can be harmful and deadly by exposure to ignorance, error,…
Everything Is Reducible to Calculation at Degrees of Precision and Degrees of Agency.
READ JUST ONE PAPER BY POPPER, HAYEK, MISES, AND TURING BEFORE CHOMSKY – OR YOU WILL MISS THE POINT. Understand that Chomsky applied Turing to Grammar (language). That’s his insight. Just as Popper really needed to produce one paper (sources of knowledge and ignorance), Hayek One Paper (uses of knowledge in society), Mises (economic calculation),…
Small Homogenous Is Best
1-Narrow populations can (a) correct, (b) develop neoteny (c) drift. 2-Wider populations resist correction, neoteny, and drift. 3-The optimum population size for continuous domestication of the distribution is in the hundreds of thousands to low millions.
Continuing My Attack on Male Escapism
(leave escapism for women. they have an excuse. men don’t.) I think most young men lack agency, and that we all evolve from impulsive to imitative, to intuitionistic to calculative as we move from searching for strategy, retreat, for opportunities, consolidating capital, and managing our assets. I think that stating man has universals rather than…
What Is a Right? (repost)
https://www.quora.com/What-is-a-right/answer/Curt-Doolittle?share=a75ded82&srid=u4Qv (Updated Apr 6, 2013)1) RIGHTS: A “right” is a claim against other members of a contract, wherein each party grants the other party something (a right) in exchange for something else (an obligation). Each person then has ‘rights’ as agreed upon in the contract, as well as obligations. This is the meaning of the…
Immorality Shifts with (a) Intelligence, and (b) Wealth

Here is a simple series of the means by which we commonly increase the complexity of parasitism and…
WHAT IS AGENCY? (DEFINING AGENCY)
https://naturallawinstitute.com/2017/12/05/whats-the-definition-of-agency-as-you-use-it/ (repost) Agency, like Knowledge, and Truth Proper, and the speed of light, is something we seek more and more of but cannot ever perfectly attain – unless we in fact become gods.
Dunning Kruger: Revolutionary Ignorance
As in all things: men overestimate their knowledge and ability prior to performing sufficient research in the specialty such that they are not engaging in dunning kruger overestimation of their abilities. I have no idea why men think they know such things from personal experience, or the mainstream narrative. Economics are simple. Generals are…
Westphalia: An ‘irregularity’ of Western Civilization
The idea that governments are uniquely able to start fight and finish wars is a product of the treaty of Westphalia. This ‘irregularity’ of western civilization survived long enough that the average idiot can’t imagine that the way ISIS conducts wars, or the drug cartels conduct wars, was the primary means wars were constructed in…

Its Not that I Don’t Understand These Needs.
I’ve addressed why some people need drugs, alcohol, the new age, occult, religion, the fictionalisms, and why others do not. Its not that I don’t understand these needs. i understand why most women lack agency, and some men lack agency, an how these physical and emotional devices provide self medication for that lack of agency,…
Our Incremental Destruction

Do You Consider Yourself an Austrian? Well, Austrian Econ Is the Closest to Natural Law
I have evolved (by accident) into a specialist in natural law (reciprocity) and rule of law (non-discretion), resulting in markets(voluntary cooperation) in all walks of life. Part of this specialization is an extraordinarily precise criteria for truthful speech, the result of which is completing the scientific method. So since Austrian econ is the closest possible…
Contractualism
—“Curt, would you say the English model of “contracts” paved the way for removing people from blood, soil and kinship loyalty?”— Um. It looks like Scandinavian and maybe northern european groups in general were organized as militial freemen back into prehistory – they could choose their leadership and form ‘private corporations’ so to speak to…
Will Aliens Use the Same Grammar?
(and thus be comprehensible?) Um. I don’t think they’ll be different, for reasons I hope to publish this year. Although there is a substantial difference… Chomsky can take 40 minutes to communicate an idea, and if you look at his sentence structure and vocabulary it’s extraordinary. I cannot match Chomsky’s context-retention during his discourses. This…
Conservatism Understood
1. A conservative questions the overestimation of reason, and above all questions consensus. Conservatism is familial, stoic, pragmatic, and empirical. In other words risk averse to capital. 2. As a means of questioning, a conservative requires reciprocity (tort): american < british < anglo saxon < germanic < european < norther indo european in law. That…
Natural Conflict Between the Classes of Conservatives

The Problem with The Category ‘psychology’.
I distinguish between freudianism, psychologism, therapy, incentives/biases/limits/logic, neurochemistry, and cognitive science. When a person says “psychology” I usually have to deduce which of those they’re referring to. In my understanding psychology is used to refer to each of those. However, the first two are pseudosciences, therapy/self/help is something else, and the rest are sciences.…
The Test of Demarcation Between Science and Pseudoscience in Psychology
All, Almost all papers in psychology and sociology fail the test of repeatability. Almost all papers in psychology and sociology depend on self reporting. Almost all papers in psychology and sociology include susceptibility to suggestion. Almost all papers in psychology and sociology make use of small populations of students or patients. Almost all papers in…
The Hierarchy of Revolutionary Arguments
Think of revolutionary arguments as a pyramid: – The theory (strategy) – The Incentives (science) of that strategy – The law (constitution) reflecting those incentives – The generational institutions (“government”) utilizing those incentives – The Intergenerational institutions (“education, religion”) retaining the strategy, incentives, law, and institutions). – The benefits for members (“rewards”) produced by…
