    PROPERTARIANISM FOR THE PROSECUTION.

    (good)

    [I]f we claim we speak truthfully, then that we perform an act of testimony.

    If we are both trying to find the truth, then we engage in an act of discourse.

    If we are both trying to persuade and inform a jury(audience), then we participate in a debate.

    But if you are trying to engage in deceit for the purpose of theft (free riding) then you are a defendant and I am a prosecutor.

    I AM A PROSECUTOR.

    That is why I appear and am hostile. If you are a parasite, then I am a prosecutor. And I want to build an army of prosecutors the way the Jesuits did. Except this time, we will prosecute liars.

  • What Is The Significance Of Jean Baudrillardâ´s For A Critique Of The Political Economy Of The Sign?

    As an activist philosopher engaged in restoring modernism I see Baudrillard’s work as one of the death rattles of postmodernism.  

    But that does not mean that it is not possible to restate some of his ideas in ratio-scientific terms.  And that is, that as we grow in prosperity, our patterns of consumption changes from survival, to risk reduction, to fulfillment, to purely signaling.  And that much of the consumer economy consists of little more than signaling. 

    Unfortunately, by couching his thought in postmodern pseudoscience, empty verbalism,  and pretense of reason, he doomed his contributions to the dustbin of history along with all of marxism.

    The more interesting question is when does such signaling become lying?  When are signals of falsehoods occurring at the expense of material improvement of life?

    That’s a problem I haven’t spent much time on, but I think it’s the scientific means of exploring his ideas.

    RELIGIONS COME IN MANY FORMS

    To act in concert with, or at least not in conflict with, others, we requre a narrative (scope) and a means of decidability (choice). Religion provides both. Philosophy (reason), Scientism (evidence), Politics(utility), and Magianism(mythology) all are forms of religion: means by which we compose useful narratives and construct useful decidability so that we can succeed in cooperating with others in a densely populated world where we share a division of cognitive labor.

    Progressivism: Democratic Socialist Secular Humanism is just as much a religion predicated upon falsehoods as is supernatural scriptural monotheism. To some degree scientism is just as much a religion as any of them when paired with correlative mathematics (statistics). I am not quite sure that mathematical modeling of the physical universe doesn’t equally qualify as a form of Buddhism (any set of axiomatic rules in which everything is possible cannot be possible). Western conservatism (aristocratic egalitarianism) is certainly a religion, even if its content was accumulated empirically over thousands of years. At present it is a mythology.

    I hope someday to debate the standing atheists – not in defense of religion, and not against atheism, but that they are not atheists, but statists, innumerate and unscientific.

    A sequence of operations consists of names. I can name that sequence of operations. An experience or an observation or an imagination of cause and effect is an analogy. Names may or may not convey meaning. THey may or may not convey loadings which we, as moral creatures, feel are terribly important. But operations are names and experiences are analogies.

    I have a pretty low opinion of meaning.

    It’s a vehicle for comprehension yes.

    But that comprehension is by definition loaded.

    And loading and framing are means of deceit.

    SO IF WE CANNOT PARASITE UPON OTHERS AND CONTROL THEIR REPRODUCTION (SLAVERY) WHY CAN OTHERS PARASITE ON US AND LIMIT OUR REPRODUCTION (REDISTRIBUTION)? If we cannot colonise others, then why can others colonise us?

    Forcible Redistribution Is Slavery. Forced immigration is colonisation. Statism is Slavery.

    Nationalism.

    Meritocracy immigration.

    If you are from a shitty family that is no reason to redistribute to you unless you produce a non-shitty family
