    (Sorry … I’m working on something else right now. But quick scan is that it would take you about a month of pretty hard work to produce a strategy and supporting narrative. explain problem, value of solution, how to use the solution, and how to profit from it.)

    I don’t ‘sell’ like a priest or philosopher.
    I fight as a soldier. I teach men by king of the hill.
    Deny the enemy the field so that they have no choice.
    Eliminate the possibility of compromise
    And conflict that arises when sacrificed.
    Truth knows no compromise or mercy.

  • Yes I Answer Many Questions.

    Apr 9, 2020, 11:36 PM YES I ANSWER MANY QUESTIONS. (at least intellectually honest ones)

    —“Hello. I started flying through writing on your website after stumbling upon an interview with John Mark. Would you be comfortable with me asking you questions about the ideology as I come across them.”–

    Of course. It’s my Job. But it’s not ideology. I’m not sure it’s philosophy, technically it’s a formal science of law. I don’t like that categorization that conflates formal logics with evidentiary science, so I tend to just call it what it is: the completion of the scientific method meaning that all science is now a branch of the law, and philosophy is now relegated to choice.

    —“Maybe we need to get rid of priestesses and instill Roman patriarchy throughout society. Oh wait, pagans always moan that was a bad thing.”—Rik Storey

    [I] don’t know what that means but if you mean every man a student and teacher, son and father, laborer and craftsman, soldier and warrior, sheriff and judge, legislator and sovereign, then (a) that’s pagan, and (b) that’s a good thing. 😉 The difference is the means by which we organize into those roles: Familial, Religious, Educational, Legal, or Military. We forge the individual using the furnace of the group.

    Apr 11, 2020, 1:13 PM [O]ne does not sell a liar – one prosecutes him. You cannot get them to agree. So deny the enemy the field. You can leave them defeated such that they come to their own conclusions. But no man is a hero to his debtors. For a decade now, I’ve taught the same strategy.

    1. Return any taunt they made as dispassionately as possible.
    2. Call them a liar or failing due diligence.
    3. State your central argument
    4. repeat until they are exhausted.

    All they do with every cycle is provide you with opportunity to recite the same statements “you are lying, either by design, or by failure of due diligence, [this is the truth], you can either refute it by testimony and warranty within the limits of liability (… 1. Refutation), or offer an equally criticizable solution to the question so that we can judge it’s possibility costs and benefits (2. Competition.), or seek to understand what you clearly don’t (3. Question). But at present you are [lying, denying, fictionalizing, sophistry, pseusocience,mysticism, impossibility, irreciprocity]. Just do the same thing over and over again and they will eventually expose themselves out of frustration – works every time if you stick with it over time.
