    SAUL KRIPKE MAKES THE SAME COSMOPOLITAN ERROR AS WITTGENSTEIN.

    (for critical rationalists, critical realists, philosophers of science, and professional or semi-professional philosophers this is important)

    I knew I would figure it out. Sounds, Meaning, Law, “Platonism”. And he is not a naturalist or materialist. (Although these terms in themselves are operationally insufficient.)

    DOOLITTLE (TESTIMONIALISM)

    A deterministic universe > changes in state > operations > experiences > descriptive names of (a)subjective experiences **or** <b>objective experiences **or** (c)operations(repeatable) > common names(justificationary/meaning) > necessary names(critical/truth).

    This follows the standard epistemological sequence: free-association > hypothesis(justificationary) > theory(critical) > Law.

    The Problem of Ideal Types rather than Supply Demand Curves is everywhere in western thought.

    And it has four origins:

    1) Natural human tendency for simplicity in comparisons. (discounting)

    2) Monotheistic universalism seeking of ideals (moral laws)

    3) Moral rationalism seeking of ideals (moral-legal laws)

    4) Mathematics (particularly geometry).

    5) Ideal Types, General Rules, Theories : without limits and full accounting.

    The universe equilibrates. There are no unlimited non tautological (non trivial) theories. (natural phenomenon are analogous to distributions with strange tails). And human behavior and cognition function by supply and demand curves – NOT distributions, and NOT ideal types.

    Weber was SO CLOSE.

    @soapjackal @276039081 @DIA_operative @curtdoolittle You just slap that interpretation on, because you insist it’s all about your words.

    —“Aristocracy: the move from ‘broken window policing’ to ‘broken spinal cord policing’, apparently. I’d like to see this purported evidence.”— a Critic.

    Evidence: Pinker: Better Angels.

    Wade: Troublesome Inheritance.

    Clarke: The Son Also Rises.

    Principles:

    1) Paedomorphic Evolution,

    2) Genetic Pacification,

    3) Legal, Cultural, and Normative Pressure against aggression, impulsivity, high time preference, and low intelligence.

    4) economic ostracization of non-conformists, the use of late marriage, and the ban on cousin marriage.

    Although I love the idea of combining the broken window and broken spinal cord concepts.

    (Curt Doolittle | 19th January 2016 at 1:44 pm)

    Why the UK penchant for nonsense arguments? The Romans held disdain for the immorality of the greeks for the very same reason that the rest of the world holds disdain for Brits.

    Sentences, paragraphs, and speeches rarely consist of recipes. Just because a man refers to a cake, does not mean he cannot bake one from constituent parts..

    Just because a public servant refers to a policy agenda, does not mean he cannot create a practical one from practical measures.

    THE MOVIE “TRUTH” AS FALSEHOOD – ALBEIT WELL WRITTEN

    OMG, what a hollywood-engineered piece of propaganda for resurrecting their own morally dead.

    But as dialog for smart people, with a good cast, if you ignore the almost non-existent excuse-making narrative, you can find Sorkin’s style in there.

    What is that style? The discourse of inferences.

    The opening scene where she walks into an office and the conversation is not reduced to proletarian simplicity by actors pretending to be members of the upper middle educated classes.

    It’s a model of dialog only possible if you first flesh out your character’s entire life, interests, portfolio of views, and

    Unfortunately, all these characters have the same progressive (fantastical) lives, interests, and portfolio of views.

    Characters should represent real world entities, working through mythic (universal lessons) problems. Mythology requires exaggeration – which we usually call hyperbole in order to draw attention to relevant properties of individuals and circumstances that they encounter.

    I am not impressed by the depth of psychology one can explore in the nuance of incentives of the dysfunctional – which is the postmodern trend using psychologizing for status signals. In fact I am not sure that the entire literary edifice is other than a vast church for the distribution of immorality for the purpose of obtaining status signals despite doing nothing productive on this earth.

    Why should one care about the depth of your dysfunctional feelings, rather than the means by which you conquer them and life’s challenges?

    The postmoderns, feminists, socialists, libertines, are all a cancer fed by consumerism, made possible by debt, made possible by the burning of thousands of years of western evolutionary history.

    Kill them all and let their gods sort it out.
