(from elsewhere) Too long an answer for this forum. If I remember you correctly you’re a smart fellow so here is an analytic reduction for you to mull over: 0 – There are only so many dimensions of actionability available to man, about which he can speak in continuous relations. 1 – A…

by Bill Joslin This undergirds my issue with intergenerational transfer of title status, as well status by recognition. I’ll deal with the later fist. A corporate body which grants status by recognition – for instance induction into peerage provides a means corrupting market information via gatekeeping. An alternative, which you can find…

I have a huge backlog of friend requests from around the world, and it takes me about five minutes to research each person’s profile, and look them up on the internet before I accept. The reason being that we have postmodernists, christians, muslims, and jews that ‘stalk’ us in numbers and try to get us…

Yes I am very cautious of non-market (non competitive) solutions. I prefer to establish limits in law that violate reciprocity, and organize people by ability and interest into markets, rather than outright declare a general rule that insulates general rules of decidability from market information.

( 10mm stops bears, 45 (11.4mm) stops people, 9mm pierces materials to stop people and 5.7mm pierces pretty much whatever you point it at to stop people. )

(a) legit criticisms of my work, and (b) how I structure posts to cue you whether you might want to read them or not. It’s not like my work isn’t open to criticism. Jeez. The whole point of doing work in public is to attract criticism in order to improve the work. Friends, followers,…

> Robert Laird Incoherent nonsense. > Curt Doolittle Not an argument. A dunning kruger assertion. > Robert Laird Friends with Yuri N Maltsev and 4 others Not an argument. You’re right. Just my judgment that you’ve produced incoherent nonsense. Lots of people think they know how to write. Almost all of them…

Q&A: CURT: BIG DATA? —“It’s overrated.”—Herbert S Vogelsang Um. Pretty much. In Knowledge of Human Beings: I think that big data is a substitute for praxeology, because it is impolitic to speak praxeological under postmodernism – big data provides excuses for action without admitting that human behavior is predictable and…

—“general criticism: accusations of reductionism”— Isn’t that a sophist’s non argument? It’s science. It’s true. Now you might make the traditional argument that DEFLATION of the experiential dimensions (reaction) such that we understand the CAUSAL dimensions is precisely the function of testimony (personal), science(natural), and mathematics(relations). So conversely, isn’t the attempt…

–“Trust provides a means of measurement which affords sufficient decidability in certain domains.”–Bill Joslin

Decidability does not require trust. It requires decidability, and decidability alone.

Joseph Ross shares last year’s post on education.

—“And, as I have adopted the Curt Doolittle high quality policy of blocking people who lie, slander, and refuse to stay on topic and debate with facts, you are blocked.”— Al Freeman

There is a reason prisons are dominated by men, and asylums were dominated by women: that distribution reflects how men and women express anti-social behavior. (Institutionalizing female insanity as a norm.)

I appreciate the new tech. Really. But, a 1911 is an extension of my body. Why? I trained with it. It’s nothing but form and function. It’s a craftsman’s tool. It’s thin, points naturally, is long enough for sight picture, it’s ‘condition’ is visible. It’s single action – and always ‘hot’. It has a perfect…

You sometimes speak of jews having “inverted sexual dimorphisms”. Could you elaborate on that or maybe provide some sources? From my experience it’s certainly fair to say that jews have reduced sexual dimorphisms, e.g. jewish women are more assertive than aryan women, but not more assertive than jewish men. On a scale of…

Deb Roy discusses how insights gained from big data and machine learning can help us monitor the social impact of new technologies.

—“In the 20th century, the left (Communists, Nazis, and Progressives) tried to change human nature through propaganda and indoctrination. It didn’t work, so now they are turning to drugs. Children (mostly boys) are being drugged because feminists and the effeminate don’t want boys to be boys. “—Eric Blankenburg

1) Markets(w/ limits) != Free Markets(w/o limits) 2) Reciprocity under full accounting != Volition w/o full accounting. 3) Sovereignty != Intersubjectively verifiable property.

GERMANIA: “NO GODS BUT WHAT THEY CAN SEE” (prof jean haudry (fr.)) General characteristics of Indo-European Religion A) Indo-european religion is polytheistic, consisting of a multiplicity of rites proper to various social groups and localities, and pagan, i.e. peasant, reflecting the diversity of the people and not the unity of a state…
