My answer to How bad is it to live in North Beacon Hill (Seattle) and commute to Bellevue?

Technically, mathematics is a logic, not a science. Axioms can be declared = logic. Laws must be discovered and cannot be declared = science. One can model science with axioms, but it remains logic, not science. ie? STEM = “Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics”. -cheers

—“The first great lie of Abraham is “monotheism”. That there is a god, that there is a single god, that this god is knowable, that this god plays favourites. The rest flows from that.”— Howard Van Der Klauw

(in case you missed it, bill calls out something to ponder.) —“Because all axiomatic systems can eventually be internally justified, … it’s the survivability of the axioms (criteria of decidability) that they are dependent upon, rather than the explanatory power, and benefits of that explanatory power, that permit their survival as truth candidates.”— CD …

“HE WHO WILL FIGHT WITH ME SHALL BE MY BROTHER” OK. Say it again. Yes, I put my kin, tribe, nation, and race first – as I think all of us should. It’s the optimum strategy for everyone (really). That said, I don’t do racism. I actually hate it. I do CLASSISM. …

Curt Doolittle Yeah, well, …. That communism is a pseudoscientific restatement of the construction of destructive lies of abrahamism, including judaism->christianity->islam, is obvious. The fact that islam holds the world record or murder and destruction, with communism and christianity following in the wake, shouldn’t surprise us. the fact that putin plays to…

Curt Doolittle’s answer: It depends upon which ideology(‘Cult’) you subscribe to. I talk with people every day who do, and read papers, books, articles, posts, and tweets by people who do. But the two major cults argue (propagandize) quite differently: 1 – Pseudoscientific Marxist-Postmodern-Fe….

Minor movies worth watching if you haven’t seen them. The reason I want to call them out, is in part, that villenueve’s use of kubrick’s techniques combined is (thankfully) spreading into the indie and drama markets. Secondly, the use of increasingly layered plots is also becoming ‘a necessity’. (Whch we all attribute to…

All grammars limit the domains (property ranges) of semantic content. Semantic limits do not exist independent of grammars, but expand (inflate) fictionally or contract (deflate) operationally, empirically, and logically (meaning scientifically). In fact, the purpose of deflationary grammars is primarily to decrease deception, fiction, disambiguation, and dimensions, and therefore increase precision.

Moritz Bierling – thank you for all you do. The little stuff also matters.

–“What are you meaning by subatomic multipliers?”— Davin Eastley In economics, the term ‘multiplier’ means that more is gained than lost by the operation(transaction), ergo, in physics, a more complex organization is created and stable state retained. (or stated in economic terms, a more complex capital is formed.) (BTW: good question.)

(Adam Walker Gets It Right) by Adam Walker (CD: update, discussion link at end) There were a lot of good ideas exchanged in this discussion. The funny thing is Curt Doolittle’s work actually solves most of the conflicts in fundamental disagreements. Sargon wants to retain the autonomous sustainability of liberty…

OK. so I will make a painful set of observations that I promise are correct. 1) never, ever, every, extrapolate a curve. Almost every human error in intellectual history has been the result of doing so. 2) all phenomenon in the universe produces cycles of that repeat at increasing scales, because the maximum…

**—-“What is a good and recent book on the Irish economic model and the rise of the Celtic Tiger? The shorter and easier to understand the better, as I don’t have a background in economy.”—-** You don’t need to read a book. It’s too simple a subject for a book. 1) They provided **heavy…

WHAT DOES TRUTH MEAN? (AND WHAT IS ITS ADJECTIVE FORM?) Truth can only mean ‘descriptive testimony free of error, bias, suggestion, obscurantism and deceit’. In other words, speech, the semantic content of which corresponds with reality. One speaks truthfully, or untruthfully , or honestly or dishonestly. To be precise, one speaks honestly not having done…

It’s a very high price to have the best of both worlds. Bridges? Traffic? Fees? https://www.quora.com/unanswered/How-bad-is-it-to-live-in-North-Beacon-Hill-Seattle-and-commute-to-Bellevue

Here is a list of the major economic schools currently operating, and how they differ in accessible (or at least reasonably) accessible language.

Because it’s (a) it’s justified, and (b) anyone quoting mises or rothbard is a more than little like quoting Marx: ridiculous. Why? Mises created a pseudoscience. He had a basic insight he took from Simmel, and another he took from Weber, and he worked very hard to create an operational logic with which to test…
