NATURALISM AND MARGINAL INDIFFERENCE AS PROPERTARIAN MORALITY In the discipline

NATURALISM AND MARGINAL INDIFFERENCE AS PROPERTARIAN MORALITY

In the discipline of law, the jury determines guilt or innocence. This is irrespective of your guilt or innocence. We can deduce your guilt or

innocence. We can justify your guilt or innocence. But without OBSERVABLE DEMONSTRATION we cannot DEMONSTRATE your guilt or innocence. It is just true in the ABSENCE of observable demonstration because we say so – because we agree.

In the discipline of math, the accepted practice, is that .999… = 1. This is irrespective of the fact that it is impossible to construct 1 from .9999999… There is no numeric operation that we can perform to do so. We can only DEDUCE it, or claim it.

We can create arguments. We can create deductions. But we cannot operationally create the number 1 from .999… by the process of addition or subtraction: which is in fact, the basis of all mathematics.

So if I can get a bunch of people to agree that all people named ‘Brian’, are hosts of demons and should be put to death, then I can have all ‘Brian’s’ put to death. Or if I can get a bunch of people to test whether Brian is telling the truth by seeing if he sinks in a lake, then, if he floats (survives) he is lying.

I think that is Brian’s argument. Which, of course, is exactly what I’ve been saying. Math can do so, because it is irrelevant. Mathematics is marginally indifferent to more important disciplines. The test of true DEDUCTION is marginal indifference to the outcome. The test of truth existence, is OPERATIONAL (causal) CONSTRUCTION.

Postmodernism is predicated on the very principle that Brian is advocating: that truth is what we agree it is, not what is independently of our agreement. Not what is OPERATIONALLY and SCIENTIFICALLY true, but what is consensually true – by language.

A theory can NEVER be true. An operation cannot be false. it just IS. Mathematical operations cannot be false. Mathematical theories (deductions) can NEVER be true.

Mathematics is responsible for the the creation of the worlds most dangerous religion since Zoroaster invented law of the gods. Math has reinvented magic. And Brian is an acolyte of that religion.

’tis how it ’tis. ’tis an inescapable box.
