(FB 1542324002 Timestamp) ( example: more over the top confrontation from elsewhere on the web ) —“I am using the opportunity your sarcasm presented to stay on message. I deal with science not psychologism, moralism, or presumption of a value of others nor a debt to those who are debtors by nature – these are frauds. Either you can make an argument to reciprocal value or you cant. Since my presumption is you (collectively) are dead weight cost, that you are undesirable, costly, damaging, and disgusting – and your approval, consent, cooperation irrelevant – and that you have nothing to offer or trade. I take the position that it is preferable to separate from or conquer and decimate your political wing rather than suffer your presence. All I have done is provide the argument that moral men may do to you as they wish out of self defense. “—

(FB 1542384122 Timestamp) FOR NEWBS: ON MY AGGRESSIVE POSTURE AT THE INTERNET PODIUM —“And no need to be so passive aggressive. I was just trying to have a discussion, clearly you’re more keen on “wrecking” people who engage than talking to them.”— No, i just cant tell whether someone is an addict and a waste of time or a candidate for discourse until i push back on them and discover whether they have any agency and therefore intellectual honesty, or not. Congratulations for passing the test. I am very good at what i do and teaching class in the locker room that is the internet among idiots and hostiles requires abandonment of conservative tolerance and restoration of victorian discipline. So ask dont tell. You told presuming you knew better, you didnt ask presuming i did. I responded.
- hugs for intellectual honesty. its rare 😉

What I see your work in operationalism as, is a manifestation of this attempt in the realm of logics-linguistics, instead of mathematics-hard sciences Whereas he is trying to suggest a framework where the hard sciences and the biological sciences can talk, you are offering a framework where the hard sciences, the logics/mathematics and the social sciences can talk.”— Yiannis Kontinopoulos Correct, and I discuss this in my book. Well done!!!!!!!!

(FB 1542552724 Timestamp) THE OUTSTANDING QUESTION: CAN IT BE DONE? —“I do not think German philosophy was a reaction to empiricism.”—Aaron Kahland —“Thinking Kant’s love affair with Rousseau being a German reaction to Anglo liberalism – secular Christian apologetics”—Bill Joslin I mean, british empiricism begins back in the 1090’s and within two hundred years becomes explicit under roger bacon. and by the 1600’s under Francis bacon all but complete. leading to hobbes, lock, hume, smith, et al. The bacons were jurists applying law to modern thought. Instead, Germans less so with leibnitz but certainly with wolff and kant continued the scholastic tradition of apriorism independent of empiricism, and when that failed moved to experientialism, and finally to the nonsense of marx and heidegger. These people were theologians applying theology to modern thought. The great questions, which dogs my work, are: (a) is this internal world of the germans and external world of the anglos genetic or cultural (linguistic, traditional, normative, literary, institution) or a mixture of both? (b) Given the difference between british (shallow), american (constitutional) and the german (metaphysical) moral depth be TAUGHT by design, and by what methods can it be taught. Because it appears to require both an institutional method of teaching AND sufficient immersion in the culture to produce the general disposition, and; (c) how can we teach as such while also training the opposite (sun tzu, machiavelli, grand strategy) that this “piety” or ‘moralism’ is a utility and a choice not a truth? Because it is the LATTER PROBLEM that seems to be the issue, not the former. In other words, today you talk to germans and they are convinced of this ‘nonsense’ that they have a special history rather than did the logical thing as all other peoples in history have done. (and arguably were in the right in both wars). Brits are in a virtue spiral of death for the same reason. Americans are incrementally defeated by their women for the same reason. And as far as I can tell it is christianity underneath that causes these failures – because it is ideal and unlimited, rather than limited and real (limits of tolerance and forgiveness)
