    PLAYING BADMINTON WITH GREG SWAN 🙂

    (I have no idea who this guy is. But why he wants to take shots at me is beyond me.)

    Greg.

    I suppose it’s fine if you pretend you’re witticisms are more than the philosophical equivalent of dick and fart jokes. I mean, I find dick and fart jokes humorous also. I find meaning and analogy helpful. I find ridicule entertaining. But they are the political equivalent of jacking off because you can’t get laid, and not voting because you have no chance, versus having sex, and rewriting the constitution because with both women and ideas you have won.

    So, you don’t seem to understand. I agree that stupid people need an intuitionistic analogist like you. In a division of perception, cognition, knowledge, and advocacy, I accept that stupid people need your work and smart people need my work. I just didn’t understand why you choose to attack my work for smart people when I didn’t attack your work for stupid people. Or why you don’t grasp that the world needs ideas for stupid people as as well as smart people – and always has. We need stupid people to storm the gates as canon fodder, or at least to tend the luggage. We need smart people to act as officers and to rule. We need a division of cognition and labor for serving the distribution of people who are stupid as well as smart.

    After all. We are largely saying the same things. Except you’re distributing meaning, understanding, tools of shaming, and self satisfaction as an escapist self defense for the disenfranchised – and I’m distributing social science for the next generation of rule of law, that can be imposed by force.

    But thank you for your repeat references, since all publicity is good publicity. 😉

    (The Kim Jong Il piece is awesome by the way.)

    – Cheers 🙂

    ( PS: The opposite of “tl;dr”, or “too long; didn’t read”, is “ts;sr”, or “too stupid, stopped reading.” The difference is, stupid people type the former, and smart people don’t bother typing the latter. )

    MOST PHILOSOPHERS ARE SMART – BUT VICTIMS OF NEW MYSTICISM

    —“Are you sure Hoppe is this intelligent? It doesn’t seem like he is above any random sampling of legitimate philosophers. Argumentation ethics are outrageous.”—-

    That’s an interesting question. He’s intelligent, disciplined, articulate, and well read. He came very, very close to figuring out the fundamental problem of criticism. But you know if you go through the list of living philosophers, it’s… almost entirely a wasteland of nonsense.

    I think I understand what is wrong with western man’s intelligence (Hilary Putnam aside), and it’s that this set of lies I am fighting to overthrow – a sort of new mysticism – has infected everyone like a virus, and it is getting worse.

    There is no more some special hidden knowledge than there is a heaven. We have converted teh christian fantasy world into a post-mystical logical equivalent.

    Instead, the entire universe of man’s thought is quite simple – trivial even.

    This is why truth is so important.

    I didn’t think I could develop a way of articulating this new mysticism, like the ‘divine realm’ or ‘platonic realm’ or ‘world of the gods’ that came before it. I think I might be able to. Just as I have with truth and the evolution of weasel-words.

    But when we say “I search for the truth” vs “I wish to state this as truthfully as is possible” then we are creating a fantasy world. There is no truth to find. There is only error and ignorance to remove from the human mind.

  • Yes. I’m Controversial. But Why?

    [Y]eah. I’m controversial. Although, it’s somewhat odd to me that advocating truth-telling, not-stealing, limiting public publication to truthful statements, converting to market rather than authoritarian government, and paying poor people in exchange for having just one kid, is controversial. Slaying sacred ideological cows in every era is controversial. But then, I don’t know why advocating deceitful speech, authoritarianism, theft, and systemic parasitism isn’t more controversial than truth telling and not stealing.

  • THE MANY PHILOSOPHIES OF OUR ENEMIES, WHY WE FAILED, AND HOW WE CAN SUCCEED WITH

    THE MANY PHILOSOPHIES OF OUR ENEMIES, WHY WE FAILED, AND HOW WE CAN SUCCEED WITH TRUTH

    —“[They use] “Weasel Words+Reasonableness” because it contorts the will of people once they have their TRUST in a way that is slow and deliberate, [and imperceptible]. Alinsky noted that they would play by others rules and use that against them, cleverness is just another word for deceit”— Gerard MF

    Exactly… that’s the secret of it. That’s also why it utilizes our cognitive biases.

    —“Education makes men clever, it does not make them moral.”— (Various thinkers including Wellington and C.S. Lewis)

    Declining Spectrum: Moral, Wise, Smart, Witty, Clever, Deceitful

    This vulnerability is why we have a fleet of philosophies in order to appeal to the trust response of each dysgenic-progressive, meritocratic-libertarian, and eugenic-conservative group:

    1) Jewish-socialism/neo-puritan-postmodernism/anglo-feminism. (female family)

    2) Jewish Libertinism / Left Libertarianism (parasitism)

    3) Jewish-Russian Postmodernism/propagandism (deceit)

    4) Jewish-American Neo-Conservatism / Religious Conservatism (conquest)

    Notice that

    1) european christian conservatives (family),

    2) european classical liberals (economy),

    3) european aristocratic egalitarians(military), are all alienated from these methods.

    Because that’s what they’re designed to undermine.

    If you get it, then recent history makes complete sense.

    ROME HAD THE INVASIONS AND PLAGUES. THE WEST AND THE WORLD WAR AND THE INVASIONS. FOR THE SAME REASONS – OVEREXTENSION, AND EXPORT OF THEIR EMPIRICAL TECHNOLOGY TO PRIMITIVES.

    In both eras we failed to remilitarize our culture because we did not understand is principles:

    Heroism, Sovereignty, Truth, Testimony, Jury, Common Law, Property, Contract, Money, Interest, Accounting:

    Voluntary cooperation as a means of distributed calculation of correspondence with reality in real time.

    A human computing network whose test of equality is productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary transfer, free of externalities to the contrary, and whose single rule of computability is non-parasitism: objective morality.

    This is the west and why we evolved faster than the rest: everything we do is a truth test. No other culture succeeded because they never could develop trust sufficiently to construct perpetual demand for truth.

    This is the reason for the militia. It creates that trust.

    This is the reason for roman christianity: it expands that trust in the absence of the military.

    This is the reason for markets: it expands that trust out of self interest on the part of the producer, distributor, seller and consumer.

    If you understand this you are able to defeat all critics as what they are: thieves by force, by bribery, by deceit.

    WHERE HOPPE SHINES

    If Hans Hoppe is reasoning using incentives he’s flawless. I hang on his every word. We just need to keep him away from justificationism and he’s safe. In other words, he’s a much better economist(social scientist) than philosopher(testimonial scientist.). I’m beginning to think that ‘testimonial science” (philosophy), is the hardest subject of all. We are not evolved for truth telling. We are evolved for negotiation on cooperation. And while he does very well, his upbringing in philosophy is an albatross that burdens his legacy. If he, unlike most, but perhaps like Russell, admitted this prior to his death he would be remembered as one of the greats I think.
