Sep 05, 2016 8:40am *** 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) (from conversation with johannes meixner)
