    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 😉

    YIANNIS JUMPS TO THE HEAD OF THE CLASS

    —“Hey Curt, so I’ve been watching some Eric Weinstein, and I had some thoughts, let me know what you think of if I’m getting this right:

    So Weinstein suggested that gauge theory is a sort of universal framework that allows for the interoperability between sciences, namely as an example the key to unifying standard deterministic electrodynamics with darwinian selection.

    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!!!!!!!!

    —“Did you ever read Aeschylus’ “Agamemnon”? Some things can only be learned by suffering–enduring the consequences of your agency.”—Chip Sills

    This kind of conflation of heroic effort with suffering is a christian mental disease. if it is some kind of suffering for you then you are mentally, physically, emotionally unfit or inferior…

    its just work.

    cancer, serious illness, pain, divorce, loss, this is not suffering but endurance.

    suffering is loss regardless of action. all else is work.

    If you make the choice it may be Work to achieve or Tragedy to fail to achieve, but Suffering is due to that which is beyond your actions.

    ( 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. “—

    @curtdoolittle Fascists waiting for a reason to “make an example of” the people who oppose them (Anti-Fascists) …. Sounds like exactly what fascists would do.

    Also fascist: advocating the virtues of violence over the democratic norms/rights of civil demonstration and discourse.

    Twentieth-century cousin marriage rates explain more than 50 percent of variation in democracy across countries today.

    Political institutions vary widely around the world, yet the origin of this variation is not well understood. This study tests the hypothesis that the Catholic Church’s medieval marriage policies dissolved extended kin networks and thereby fostered inclusive institutions. In a difference-in-difference setting, I demonstrate that exposure to the Church predicts the formation of inclusive, self-governed commune cities before the year 1500CE. Moreover, within medieval Christian Europe,stricter regional and temporal cousin marriage prohibitions are likewise positively associated with communes. Strengthening this finding, I show that longer Church exposure predicts lower cousin marriage rates; in turn, lower cousin marriage rates predict higher civicness and more inclusive institutions today. These associations hold at the regional, ethnicity and country level. Twentieth-century cousin marriage rates explain more than 50 percent of variation in democracy across countries today.
