Walther PPK .380 (9mm Kurts) is the ‘date gun’ when one is out on the town in a suit.

—“The soviet model by the 1960s was a good one to live in.”— Agreed. Mostly. But by consumer standards not so much. By then the economies were going the opposite directions. By the 1960’s (actually ln the 1950s) it was very clear that the soviet economic model was not going to be competitive, and…

The first octagonal barrel HK pistol, from which all others were derived. Includes the spring around rather than below the barrel, providing lower barrel axis. HK P9 in single, P9S in double action, and yes they made on in select fire (full auto). I don’t like double action pistols unless I can carry them cocked…

The difference between de-horning and “melting”. Why can’t I buy a ‘melted’ 1911 without sending it out for a $1500 custom treatment? It’s the age of computer aided manufacturing.

–“The most dangerous enemy won’t be the one killing you physically themselves, but the one that convinces you to kill yourself.”— Muller Louw via James Santagata

—“Why do we speak in actions, and nothing but actions? Speaking in actions is sufficient for rigorous communication (preserves constant relations). But also, rigorous communication necessitates speaking in actions because we discern through actions.”— Propertarian Frank

—“Nature is divine.”— Bill Joslin.

Deducibility is only possible across constant relations. The question is always only whether we preserve constant relations or not. Even so, cognitive complexity requires constant relations (commensurability). How does the mind achieve commensurability with existential reality?

For the minimalist. Scale down the .556 gun and scale up the 6.5/7.62 gun, and return to longer barrels. And let the boys choose barrel length for circumstance.

by Bill Joslin (Bill is there. 😉 ) only an operational epistemology can produce a testimonial ontology. And when it does all dimensions of truthful speach tie together coherently. This is why operational epistemology models or demonstrates what exists (existential consistency) because operational terms glue together the all the demensioms – correspond ence,…

Mathematics by the virtue of consisting of nothing other than positional names, preserves constant relations, since only constant relations are expressible in the grammar of mathematics: the grammar of positional names.

Women are disloyal which is why they have only a few close friends, but many acquaintances. Men form loyalty networks instead, of less deep but more flexible relations. Aside from differences in bias between experiential and algorithmic, this difference in loyalty vs harmony causes the various differences in occupational achievement. As risk increases…

—“Is modern art masculine or feminine?”—Erik Lukovsky It is not so much masculine versus feminine, but decoration, criticism and ridicule versus art, heroism, and sacredness. In the sense that modern art is gossip, and traditional art is sacred then yes, modern art is feminine and traditional art is masculine. Furthermore, modern…

Well, I would say that the difference between epistemology and ontology as it is used, is the difference between truth and meaning. Ontologies are arbitrary, but epistemology is a product of the hierarchy of constant relations of the universe. To state it prosecutorially, I would say that epistemology produces a testimonial ontology,…

—“How much use would propertarianism be to a futurist?”– A Friend Well, I would say it explains the cause of emergent technologies and each of the layers of artificial intelligence. I would say that (as Wolfram’s been harping) that he next science is one of emergent operations. And that we have been…

So Mises was wrong in stating that there are no constant relations in economics. Instead, the constant relations are limited to those harmonics (intermediary, or externalities) that limit the consequences of causal relations.

So logic has no non-trivial value, since the function of logic outside of mathematics – which consists of nothing but constant relations sets is merely the falsification of inconstant relations. Instead, semantics, grammar, and syntax serves to limit relations to sets of constant relations the way lie groups limit causal relations.

Skepticism is nonsense, but preserving contingency is not only sensible but necessary.

Mathematics by the virtue of consisting of nothing other than positional names, preserves constant relations, since only constant relations are expressible. In language we can engage in all sorts of association by non constant relations. By speaking in actions we speak in constant relations. It has taken me far too…
