Can’t write any philosophy. None. Can’t. Need a dedicated brain. And the business is using all of what little I’ve got. 🙂 I barely have time for reading the economics blogs and keeping up with the news.
Playing the rationalist game is a convenient distraction – sort of like investigating mathematics. It’s interesting. You feel like you’re doing something. It’s fun to engage in social contact on topics that you care about. But it’s not really productive.
Why? Because explaining why economics and politics, morality and philosophy and the physical sciences were artificially separated is interesting. And collapsing science and philosophy into truth telling solves a lot of problems. The fundamental issue that I must deal with is institutions.
Maybe it is a good thing that I take a step back for a bit and admit that I was having more fun making minor improvements in my arguments, than doing serious work for the past few months. And that maybe my concern over diving in to something as serious as institutions – even if I thought I understood that first, is something I’m afraid of getting absorbed into with so much on my plate.
I have this terrible emotional desire to put more bullets in rationalism. But that’s, I think, late-life work. I think, at this point I need to stay on the innovations that matter to the movements ; to the post-NRx, Post-Libertine movements – whatever they might be called.
But to save one’s people. To save the mind of one’s people. It requires something momentous. Testimonial Truth, Science as the discipline of truth speaking, scientific invention as the result of truth telling, and the entire propertarian artifice are momentous.
And they are now developed to a point where informed and interested people can make use of them. So I must finish institutions and applications.
Because understanding is not action. To act we must have a solution to demand, and one that we may implement by force if needed. With full moral authority before man, god and the judgment of history.
