THE ORIGINS OF CURTPOSTING

(Why is Curtposting Funny?)

Curtposting: the aesthetics of order.

I learned the technique from (a) Karl Popper(tables), and (b) Gary Stanley Becker (Equilibria), and (c) I added programming (operations) – to complete the set of dimensions necessary to describe reality. My original goal was to produce Becker’s degree of parsimony.

When I was in college I did a series of paintings of mathematical formulae and geometric proofs. I took off on Rothko’s colors, and did proofs over the top of them, arguing that this was beautiful as well – and they were, and are.

Reality consists of only so many actionable and comprehensible dimensions

A point, a noun, a verb,

A line, a comparison or contrast

A curve, a series, a set,

A set of curves, an equilibrium

A set of actions, a set of transformations, operations

A set of causes, a set of incentives

The incentives are always acquisition of some sort of asset to the life form, man.

When I develop definitions, series, tables, equilibria, I’m getting as close as possible to a description of social phenomenon using the same extreme parsimony as gary stanley becker.

Why? These are PROOFS. A proof doesn’t make a truth claim, but it says something is possible by these means, and that other things are not possible by that same means. And that any competing explanation would have to be even more parsimonious. Parsimony is hard to refute.

I look to create PROOFS IN SOCIAL SCIENCE (cooperation). And so I draft (test) a lot of proofs as I go along. I refine them like a poet refines poetry one subtle bit at a time. Or, as software people call it – refactoring.

Once we have PROOFS we can then create narratives that explain them.

I create proofs, and usually, other people explain them somewhat better than I do for each MARKET For understanding.

I other words, I supply formulae, and others use them to construct arguments for various markets for understanding.

Or stated differently: I DESCRIBE LAWS, and JUDGES apply them.

DO YOU SEE NOW????????

I am trying to find JUDGES, PROSECUTORS, of natural law.

— why is it funny —

Because what I see when people play with curt-posting is

(a) those paintings from college of proofs.

(b) used as memes and green frogs.

(c) and even in that form they have value.

(d) and I love the fuckers who make them.

So I see it as ‘my people’, the people I love, kicking my ass for not serving their market.

The problem is their market is too costly for me alone.

So I must produce a raw material that others can use to serve them, in their own language.

I love trash talking. I love my people. I love men willing to fight. I love that our men are finally fighting.

But you know, we gotta make heavy weapons to defeat Cultural Marxism, and I’m the anti-marx and I”m making the anti-frankfrurt school. See????

I love my people but you know, I could use a little love back now and then. 😉
