  • I just want to point out that hoppe refers to economic science (falsification) b

    I just want to point out that hoppe refers to economic science (falsification) but he himself relies entirely upon economic rationalism (justification), And he confuses philosophical positivism (which never occurred) with scientific skepticism (which is how science is practiced). What’s the difference? Justification (excuse making) = bottom up rationalization. Positivism = justification through empiricism (top down). Science: a MARKET for ‘recipes’, where the stories (theories) provide searches (opportunities) for applications of the recipe, and where application of the recipe refines or falsifies the searches (opportunities). Science functions as just another market for actions (recipes). A market laundered of ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, and deceit by the continual use of measurements in a competition between logical (mental) and physical instruments.

  • “Occultism to some people seems to be an intellectual diabetes from having too m

    —“Occultism to some people seems to be an intellectual diabetes from having too much time and too little responsibility in their lives. Who has time to invest in such stupid crap? I mean, I have kids for Christ’s sake. And a job, and I’m enrolled in university courses in the meantime. My demand for practical utility and therefore empirical truth, is very noticeably higher than that of childless consumers of intellectual narcotics.”— A Friend

    Literature of escapism comes in many forms. ‘Philosophy’ and ‘essay’ is one of them.

  • “Curt can you point us in the direction of where we could find proofs or researc

    —“Curt can you point us in the direction of where we could find proofs or research for this?”–Rob McMullan

    RE: <“Different cultures do rely on different methods of argument, semantic relations, and definitions of truth. West is uniquely empirical: externally correspondent. All others rely on some version of wisdom literature.”>

    Um. I draw from so many disciplines and try to provide commensurability across them. And while there exist works on comparative religion, comparative mythology, comparative law, comparative literature, comparative linguistics, I do not know of anyone who has reduced the analysis to the dimensions of reality, the dimensions of argument, and provided comparative definitions of truth (other than perhaps the work by Fukuyama), or of argument in those dimensions, nor comparative definitions of methods of argument other than law. (Even if it is law that determines the method of argument of each people.) THis is why science has evolved into the universal language: that truth and argument are also possible to state in universally commensurable terms regardless of the methods of argument in different civilizations.

    So, aside from Fukuyama and Huntington, I don’t know who else to recommend.

    I mean, the idea of competing or comparative ‘sciences’ is kind of nonsense, really. Measurements are either universally commensurable or they aren’t measurements.

    All other authors are comparing differences, and some are explaining why those historical differences evolved.

    I’m explaining why ALL those differences exist and what those differences are capable of producing.

    And that by continuing the pursuit of truth we discover that the reason for western advancement in the ancient in modern world is purely scientific. (real).

    Truth. Markets. Eugenics.

  • thx. 😉 Once you understand the technical aspect of my work you will understand

    thx. 😉 Once you understand the technical aspect of my work you will understand my criticism of mises. You might be more forgiving than I am. But then, I probably should blame rothbard more and jewish culture even more so, than I blame Mises for having tried and failed.
