(FB 1545055782 Timestamp) BUT, THAT’S WHAT LAW MEANS —“It’s the law because it’s the law, accept it” seems like absolutism— Hue Whitman That’s what Laws of Nature(unconscious, deterministic) and Natural Law (conscious, volitionary) mean: they are DESCRIPTIVE. You cannot violate the laws of nature but you can manipulate them. You can violate the natural laws,…

(FB 1545053983 Timestamp) GRAMMARS IN TESTIMONIALISM I use a definition of grammar that limits semantic content to the grammatical operations available. 0) Universal Grammar: (serial, continuous, recursive, disambiguation) 1) Grammar: Limited to dimensions of reality. 2) Semantics: Vocabulary within the limits of the Grammar So you can look at language the old way: semantics on…

(FB 1545051716 Timestamp) CAN WE ELIMINATE RELIGION? NOT REALLY, BUT THAT REQUIRES WE DEFINE RELIGION AS MARKET DEMANDS RATHER THAN THE CURRENT MEANS OF PRODUCTION. (repost) —“However unrealistic of a goal it might be, wouldn’t the ideal situation be a world without organised religion? Or is there some benefit to religion that I’m not seeing?”—Dann…

(FB 1544980516 Timestamp) The Anglo, Italian, French, German, Polish-Ukrainian, Russian, Jewish, traditions all distribute emphasis on the Grammars differently. Every sub-civilization (culture) attempts to bring its GRAMMAR into a monopoly. Yet these grammars are biased for each group for reason: territory, competitors, rate of middle class development, and institutional history. I think this — comparative…

(FB 1544979288 Timestamp) VS TALEB There isn’t any difference between taleb and I other than he prefers literary philosophy, literature, reason, and math. He’s exhausted the math direction.

(FB 1544960640 Timestamp) WE ARE MORE LIKE THE CHINESE THAN THE SEMITES It is nearly impossible to talk to abrahamic monotheists what have not traveled the world and learned about other ‘religions’ because they lack the frame of reference to consider ‘religion’ as it is practiced. The more I undrestand about world religions the more…

(FB 1544957315 Timestamp) THE DESIRES OF ABSOLUTISTS by Bill Joslin I don’t think the absolutists are haters. I think they lack what they claim we lack – that being a foundation for meaning,. motivation -“a superordinate transcendental ideal to be subservient to”… We have that – it’s called Career, Friends, Family and Kids.

(FB 1544932085 Timestamp) Wiki Page is Actually OK. Surprisingly. Technically there is no meaning of life, other than increasing the probability of genetic persistence for those within six or fewer generations of you.

(FB 1545219478 Timestamp) THE TRUTH IS A HARSH RELIGION –“for a “scientist,” you have an awfully 7th-grade level of religious understanding. just a quick scroll through your feed shows a total lack of discernment when it even comes to the most basic differences between monotheistic faiths, as if you can just say “muh abrahamism” and…
