ACTUALLY I DONT READ PHILOSOPHY.

Marco just reminded me of something I take for granted: I write philosophy but I read science.

Philosophical tradition provides us with an established framework for conveying a complete framework of ideas. I use that framework. But I don’t read many philosophers. They’re largely horrible mixtures of theology, pseudoscience, justification of priors and empty verbalises obscuring the absence of relations.

I view a philosopher’s function as integrating new knowledge into our frames of reference with the ambition of increasing correspondence with reality, because there is advantage in correspondence and disadvantage without.

And as a consequence a philosopher restructures relations, values, and institutions to make use of that new knowledge.

Hence in Propertarianism I follow epistemology with psychology, and I follow ethics with sociology, thereby uniting philosophy psychology and social science.

I view the law as western philosophy and religion. And the judiciary as our priesthood. I view religion and theology, and philosophy largely as propaganda.

And hence my criticism of continentals who seek to construct a new religion. We already have one – and it’s bad: Progressivism. (Liberalism). Or more precisely “democratic secular redistributive(equalitarian), consumer capitalist, humanism”.

I usually argue that the mythos of the church was destructive but the church as an institution was amazingly beneficial.
