*** PROPERTARIAN REASONING: SPECTRA ***

THREE POINTS MAKE A TESTABLE LINE

THREE POINTS MAKE A TESTABLE TRIANGLE.

THREE BEHAVIORS CREATE A TESTABLE ANALYSIS

PROPERTARIAN REASONING:

i) TAKE A CONCEPT,

iii) “FIND THREE POINTS”.

iii) Then FIND LIMITS.

iv) Then FILL IN BETWEEN THEM.

1) The Unknown Known is as Problematic as the Unknown Unknown.

– Known Known

– Known Unknown

– Unknown Unknown (things we can’t imagine)

– Unkown Known. (Metaphysical assumptions)

(Truth Table: Known vs Unknown)

2) Escaping Reality: Humanity Escapes the Present.

– Westerner Civ – Heroism, Change, Future. (Aristocracy, Stoicism )

– Eastern Civ – Duty, Harmony, Past. ( Historicism and ritual )

– Magian Civ – Submission, Obeyance, Otherworldly(monotheism)

– Denial Civ – Disconnection, Internalism, Excapism. (buddhism)

(Truth Table: x=future vs past, y= fantasy vs escapism)

3) Causes of Metaphysical Assumptions

(population density and climate hostility vs means of farm production)

(Also value of individual human life in north/sparse vs south/dense)
