    GOODNESS IS A PAYMENT FOR THE COMMONS

    —Confucius said: ‘Make few false statements and do little you may regret, then all will be well.’ That was the civil service of Confucius’ time.—

  • Not into the creepy things at all. Not really even too much into the young women

    Not into the creepy things at all. Not really even too much into the young women thing despite appearances.

    But I find it warms my kin-selection heart to see all these young Ukrainian girls dressed as ladies and acting like it.

    The Conservative sentiment favors the excellence of the tribe. I will gladly sacrifice for the good of my kin.

    And I resist sacrifice for non-kin.

    Cooperation is mutually beneficial. But sacrifice is not. And dysgenia is the the last thing one should be costs to construct.

    That statement of preference is my contribution to the division of perception cognition knowledge and labor.

  • A Hierarchy of Truths

    (worth repeating) [A] hierarchy of Truths:

    1. True enough to imagine a conceptual relationship
    2. True enough for me to feel good about myself.
    3. True enough for me to take actions that produce positive results.
    4. True enough for me to not cause others to react negatively to me.
    5. True enough to resolve a conflict without subjective opinion among my fellow people with similar values.
    6. True enough to resolve a conflict without subjective opinion across different peoples with different values.
    7. True regardless of all opinions or perspectives.
    8. Tautologically true: in that the two things are equal.

    http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2015/01/07/the-top-10-reasons-american-politics-are-worse-than-ever/JOHNATHAN HAIDT’S PERSPECTIVE ON AMERICAN DIVISIVENESS

    **I love that man. Really.** I interpret the data completely differently.

    That difference is because I was there as a very young participant when we made the conservative strategic decision in the 1970’s to produce the conflict that we have today.

  • Truth is a Very Expensive Norm – That’s Why No One Else Does It.

    (guaranteed to make people angry)(sketch)

    [H]IERARCHY OF TRUTHFUL CULTURES

    • -TRUTHFUL-
      GERMANIC EUROPE (non-ideological)
      ANGLO/AMERICAN (ideological optimism)
      INDIA (utopian idealism and justification)
    • -DECEPTIVE-
      JEWISH (circumstantial truth, dual ethics, framing and overloading: pseudoscience and pseudorationalism and informational asymmetry)
      CHINA (creative lying, obscurantism, and delaying, lying as buying time, avoiding conflict, accumulating strength.)
    • -DECEITFUL-
      RUSSIA (outright lying and cheating, non-contractual, lying as strength,)
      ISLAM/ARAB (denial of reality, deceit and aggression, lying as heroic.)

    I need a third dimension because India and SE Asia are hard to fit in a stack. And the more I work at it the more I admire how Hindus really just don’t connect to reality so much as lie.  It’s a totally different mentality.

  • Truth: Why is Propertarianism Different?

    [B]ecause while a number of other philosophers have come to the conclusion that all we must do is tell the truth, no other philosopher has told you how you can tell the truth: by speaking truthfully: by providing the warranty that you have performed due diligence on any speech that you place into the informational and normative commons. And by describing precisely how you can perform that due diligence.
