Good Example (Godel, Chomsky)
—“Not quite, as Godel presented a mathematical model of this phenomenon. You cannot reduce this to mere positivistic linguistics. On which point, are you not assuming Chomsky’s universal grammar with your definition of grammar? If so, this has been shown to be unempirical.”— I didn’t say anything like that. I’m saying that he’s correct.…
Our Natural Law is Sacred.
P-Law criminalizes (a) bringing a bill to violate the natural law or the constitution before the legislatures, (b) advocating for, (c) even speaking about it in public, to the public. Our Natural Law is sacred. Even speaking of violating it means loss of sovereignty, lost of reciprocity under it, loss of rights under reciprocity, and…
. . .
?Michelle German? to Curt Doolittle Hi Curt, I’ve been contemplating something that you spoke about not too long ago. That when we die, there is nothing else afterwards. And that legacy is through the bloodlines (meaning no spirit, no other side, etc). In my line of work as a death doula, one thing I’ve noticed…
Upcoming Book on Human Intelligence
Russell T. Warne Psychologist – Data Analyst – Educator (a book answering the science-denialists) [“E]arlier today I submitted the final text for my upcoming book In the Know: Debunking 35 Myths About Human Intelligence. It feels good to have it in the hands of my publisher. There is still some work to do, but most…

[W]estern man always used markets. We had markets for leadership under trifunctionalism, and under trifunctionalism, western man had two declared priesthoods: Juridical and Spiritual, and one undeclared: Science – which was metallurgy. When you hear our folktales of ‘spells’ it’s derived from metal smelting. Because our ancestors combined Horse, wheel, and bronze to conquer the…
Book. From Blog. “Whistleblower”
[W]oman is on ride-sharing site with fellow employees. Guy propositions her. She rejects it. This is somehow ‘sexual harassment’ since according to women, only women should initiate seduction, because they are not adult enough to reject it. She reports it to HR. HR says ‘it’s his first offense, he’s a high performer (and you are…
Criticizing and Reforming “logos”
[I] disagree with every use of Logos I’ve ever seen. As far as I know it’s original use meant ‘order identifiable and explicable through reason‘. Which doesn’t tell us anything, unless we have some claim on the truth or falsehood of it. Instead, civilizations evolve strategies (group competitive strategies), and persist them through metaphysical (unstated,…
Objective Measures of Good and Evil?
by Brandon Hayes —“Do you believe there are any objective measures of good and evil?”—Tim Allen Musse I would use the term Righteous and Evil. Evil < Bad < Immoral < Unethical < Amoral > Ethical > Moral > Good > Righteous Measures for a given action are put up against a test of reciprocity.…
Interesting Choices of Gods
I think it’s interesting that our ancestors whose civilization depended on blacksmith, bronze, horse, wheel, used giants, titans, and gods that lived on mountains, and the sun. And the semitics, whose civilization of myths about the stars; And the chinese pantheon who found heaven as a sort of parallel; All chose different means of representing…
Censored from LessWrong 😉
(LessWrong February 25, 2020 9:07 PM) [I]’ve been working on the problem since about ’92 and like many things, the curatorial function performed by the top handful of intellectuals alive at any given time is not able to keep pace with the volume of pseudoscience, sophistry, ideology, propaganda, and marketing over the past thirty or…
Going Into Depth on Trifunctionalism vs Competing Civilizations
[I]n the Proto-Indo-European mythology, each social group had its own god or family of gods to represent it and the function of the god or gods matched the function of the group. There are only three possible means of coercion (weapons of influence) available to humans, and we have developed genetic abilities, moral intuitions, and…
Simplified Map of The Grammars
[H]ow do we demarcate math, science, law, economics, history, philosophy, literature, mythology, and theology?

(Humor.) “Mansplaining and Womansplaining”
(Humor.) Re: “Mansplaining and Womansplaining” Yeah. I’m a little done with womansplaining as well. Mansplaining is merely useless – it won’t accomplish anything even if it should. Womansplaining is useless and false – but often succeeds even though it shouldn’t. 😉 Let’s compare them: Womansplaining: “There is no bell curve. Everyone is equal. Everyone has…
Three means of human coercion or more gently, weapons of influence.
One more time. Three means of human coercion or more gently, weapons of influence. The Physical: Body and Movement Using Force or Violence The fear of harm or promise of defense. By the Dominant or Established Male The Material: Resources and Opportunity Using Bribe or Trade The fear of loss of gains, or promise of…
Truth isn’t manipulation. It’s either information or it’s discipline.
—“Concerted, organized effort to shame western people into a pattern where were easily manipulated.” Like EXACTLY like what YOU do? You do realize that you perpetrate literally EVERY part of this against women. Of course you do, you’ve just found a way to capitalize on it.”— Crazy Woman Truth isn’t manipulation. it’s prevention of manipulation.…
“The Case Against Reality” No. The Case for Woo Woo Pseudoscience.
“The Case Against Reality” The case for woo woo pseudoscience. This is pseudoscientific nonsense. We see actionable reality at actionable scale, using some pretty amazing instrumentation. We ‘predict’ (imagine consequences from) our model of the world, that is not real. That’s simply a lack of discipline. I can and have, and others can and have,…
“It would be cool to watch you debate theologians.”
—“It would also be cool to watch you debate theologians. Not pansy ones either but the few who are also high level scientists.”— A Friend [I]t‘s a very simple argument: What is a theologian claiming: Good and wisdom, or True and demonstrable? What can they testify to? How can they demonstrate it? How can they…
Natural Rights
[T]echnically speaking, market demand for the production of a commons(institution) that creates natural rights of appeal for defense before an insurer of some sort (court), demonstrably exist. The market demand exists. Sure. Like any commons, markets succeed or fail at producing them. As far as I know, the only natural right that is possible is…
Reciprocity and Irreciprocity
RECIPROCITY AND IRRECIPROCITY Reciprocity: productive, fully informed, voluntary transfer, of demonstrated interests, free of imposition of costs upon the demonstrated interests of others by externality, and warranted, within the limits of restitutability. Irreciprocity: Failing any one of the criteria for Reciprocity. MORAL(ETHICAL) SPECTRUM … … … … Evil – interpersonal, extrapersonal, irreciprocity without gain (harm…
Causality
by Brandon Hayes —“The Conflict’s not so much race, but agency, resulting class, class size, and resulting subculture. Race is just a convenient low resolution proxy that obscures the problem.” – Curt Doolittle The claim isn’t that it’s a proxy for agency but it’s a proxy for this sequencing of phenomena: “agency, resulting class, class…
