Can someone look into this for me? I don’t want to get into the politics of it.
Can someone look into this for me? I don’t want to get into the politics of it. What I want to know is if this is more evidence of the left’s “Problem” of lying or not. —“Roy Moore’s accusers. Where’s the beef? 1. Leigh Corfman – claimed she talked to Moore on her bedroom phone. Her mother Nancy Wells says her daughter did not have a phone in her BR during that period. (POSSIBLE LIAR) 2. Wendy Miller – dated him when she was of legal age in Alabama (17, legal age is 16), and says they only kissed, nothing more. (NOTHING ILLEGAL) 3. Debbie Wesson Gibson – was 17 when Moore dated her, they kissed. She worked as a sign language translator for Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton, adamantly anti-Trump and supporter of Roy Moore’s opponent Doug Jones. “Looking back, I’m glad nothing bad happened”, she said. (NOTHING ILLEGAL) 4. Gloria Thacker Deason – says she went on dates with him as 18-yr old, only kissed and hugged according to her. Claims they drank alcoholic drinks together. (NOTHING ILLEGAL except possible consumption of alcohol which no underage people ever consume) 5. Beverly Young Nelson – yearbook shows a signature with a very different y, Roy Moore signed as “D.A.” when he was never District Attorney (just Deputy District Attorney, D.D.A.), and completely different number ’77’ in 1977 compared to ones written directly above on the yearbook (i.e. at least 2 different people wrote the alleged single-authored text) (POSSIBLE LIAR) That’s it. That’s the story local news feels the need to start out every single night. 3 kissing relationships with legal-age young women, 2 probable liars.”— A Friend. -

( A friend referred me to your work. but our languages are hard to cross translate. I while I can figure out that you’ve touched on the question of universal properties, I can’t figure out if you’re studying phonetic roots, or if you’re using phonemes for some other purpose. So is there something in english I can read that will help me understand? – Thanks )

—“I didn’t realize you were a fellow reader of Moldbug”—Anthony Ray Collins I read everything worth reading. 1) Moldbug: Jewish Critique (pilpul) 2) Hoppe: German Rationalism (philosophy) 3) Doolittle: Anglo Empiricism (science and law) The world isn’t complicated. 😉 We all say the same thing in the languages of our civilizations. What’s different is that 1) Molbug is inactionable. 2) Hoppe’s solutions are actionable but unsurvivable. 3) And my solutions are both actionable and survivable. Again. The world isn’t complicated. 😉 We cannot escape our cultural baggage. -

For Newbs
—“You always go in hard and soften up. It is fascinating to watch.”— Andy Curzon Andy has been a partner in my investigations for years now. And while I wasn’t going to call this out, I think its important for newbies to understand why I am such a relentless critic of some of our most cherished ideas. He means that the way I investigate the truth and value of an idea is by attempting to exhaustively falsify it. And the veracity of my attacks on any given subject are continued evidence of my commitment to falsification. Meaning, that I do not treat anything as a truth candidate unless *I have no other alternative*. There is a grain of truth in almost anything. But finding that potential needle in any given haystack generally requires burning the haystack to the ground so that only the metal remains. Truth is unforgiving. But once I have discovered that grain of truth – for example, the secret of western adaptive velocity, or the secret of christianity – or in the failure of the 20th century philosophers to discover operational epistemology – then I no longer need to attack the subject and can then be forgiving of our many mortal failures. This is important since it takes a great deal of intellectual honesty to perform this kind of work – few of us are emotionally able to – and it takes a great deal of character and intellectual honest to follow such investigations. Investigations that dismantle your cherished values. So if you are going to come along on this journey, it might help to understand, that there is an extremely important method to my antagonisms. But that once an investigation is done, we move on.
