—-“Complexity is often employed to deceive, obfuscate, and evade the simplest of truths. The proper function of complexity is in the increased precision of truth telling, rather than the enhancement of lying.”—-Adam Houseman

(Curt Doolittle December 19 at 11:24am) I classify falsifiability under ‘scope consistency’: limits, parsimony, and falsifiability. Technically they are all properties of scope. But to test scope we must test all dimensions of scope. Also, like internal consistency, I use external correspondence rather than ‘predictability’ since ‘prediction’ generally invites the ludic fallacy (probability). We cannot…

(Curt Doolittle December 19 at 12:20pm) NO ARISTOCRACY OF EVERYONE, NOR SCIENTIFIC THOUGHT FOR EVERYONE. I think we need to give up on the hope that all people can be taught to think as we call ‘scientifically’ for the simple reason that as we dip below 105, the challenge becomes insurmountable. If we had the…

—“Where did you learn that the roots of science are in martial epistemology? Who on your reading list?”— Well, it’s not a novel idea. I just frame it more precisely. I think I intuitively understood it just because of all the history I’ve read. But it was the sequence Marija Gimbutas > J. P. Mallory…

( Ely Harman December 20 at 11:45pm · ) Tell me where I’m wrong. Mixed male/female institutions and spaces of any size under feminism will tend to end up female dominated, or at least dominated by feminine sensibilities, if not female persons. Why? Because in any conflict between a man and a woman the woman…

—“This scales along a continuum (with increasing fragility and negative effects as scale increases): The tribe is a softening of family boundaries through intermarriage and mutually beneficial collective action. The nation state is a dissolution of tribal boundaries through ideology or forced submission. Globalism is the suppression of nation state boundaries through fraud and deceit.”—…

(by Bill Joslin December 18 at 2:30am )· Violence occurs at the boundary between in-group and out-group. Globalism attempts to create world peace by dissolving national sovereignty and thus dissolving the in-group out-group boundary on the global scale. By doing so, violence is transferred to non-state actors(rioting, ISIS etc). By destroying formal institutions (the state)…

Game Theory of Sovereignty (by William Butchman) a) Eli’s Theorem: “If you would be SOVEREIGN, you must fight. If you would win, you must confederate. If you would confederate, you must compromise. If you would compromise, you must accept limits on your actions. SOVEREIGNTY will be won only by those who desire to exercise it…

(by James Augustus Berens ) JA BERENS ON STOICISM AND SCALE —“Stoicism functions as a tool for limiting the scope of human cognitive processes (cognition & responses to perceived changes in state) to the consequential (actionable at individual scale). The scope of man’s cognitive processes evolved under tribal/local scale with limited complexity. Under more complex…

WHAT SHALL BE COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY’S PUNISHMENT FOR THE FRANKFURT SCHOOL? For crimes against humanity, against western civilization, against the united states of america, what shall be the punishment for Columbia University? 1) Sponsorship of a Natural Law School and Degree? 2) “Cornell Style” Forcible Restructuring of Curriculum and Staff? 3) Total Purge of Staff and…

ON LIBERAL CALLS FOR A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION: WE HAVE OTHER IDEAS – HANGING TREES FOR THE LIARS. No we are not having a constitutional convention. 1) Liberals have destroyed the constitution’s rule of law by arguing that we can pass whatever laws we want. The 14th amendment alone invalidated the constitution. What damage wasn’t done…

( I don’t get involved in ‘***gates’. Rallying and shaming is for common folk. Sorry. The substantive problem is the lack of rule of law under natural law with which we can prosecute by violence acts of harm, theft, fraud, and deceit. Everything else is just monkeys hooting at one another across territories. So either…

MORAL ACCOUNTING IN FACT VS MORAL GENERAL RULES OF APPROXIMATION AND GUESSWORK Curt Doolittle It’s hard to believe but truth is enough. There is certainly room for a new fundamentalism. Natural Law fundamentalism. A violent expansionist fundamentalism more aggressive than islam. John Dow —“I dont see imperialist war as economically viable or morally just. The…

HINT: ALL PSYCHOLOGICAL TERMS ARE LIES, JUST AS ALL RELIGIOUS TERMS ARE LIES. HUMANS SEEK TO ACQUIRE IN FURTHERANCE OF THEIR REPRODUCTIVE STRATEGY. EVERYTHING ELSE IS POSTURING AND NEGOTIATION. The only thing that differs is our reproductive strategy: Gender, Class, Age, Race. Jessa Faya Alexander —“How about: Empaths seek connection, Sociopaths seek power; your results…

WHAT’S YOUR POSITION ON UBI (WELFARE)? (I HAVE ONE. 🙂 ) (from elsewhere) 1) The province (Prince Edward Island) will conduct and EXPERIMENT in a rebranded expansion of WELFARE: a subsidy for the poor. It is not a UBI – Universal Basic Income. UBI proposal is that every citizen obtains it, and that taxes offset…

Yeah, I really don’t like ‘moral literature’. the rule of deconflation (deflation): use literature for analogies. Use natural law for morality (moral accounting). Use Truth for testimony (science), and avoid ‘moral literature’. Because it was the conflationary content of moral literature that allowed the conservatives of the 19th and 20th centuries to fail to produce…
