    PHILOSOPHY AND IDEOLOGY

    Technically speaking all **Paradigms** (ontologies) serve as (relatively) coherent systems of measurement, decidability, choice, and preference given the information (knowledge) at our disposal.

    * *Decision: Measurement(existence) > Decidability (necessity) > Choice(agreement-time) > Preference (satisfaction-now) *

    **Philosophy** (like logic) is a widely abused (overgeneralized) term, because only Europeans invented and practiced rational philosophy under constraints of realism, naturalism, and testimony (empiricism) as investigatory and continuously adaptive rather than explanatory and static.

    Even such we divide european philosophy into Aristotelian (Testifiable, Empirical, Legal, Scientific) and Platonic (Ideal, Literary), and later Abrahamic Synthesis (Augustine, Acquinas) that tried to bridge semitic supernaturalism and European naturalism. And this distribution remains today as Anglo (legal, analytic) and Continental (literary, empathic). And our fundamentalists retain the Abrahamic Synthesis. As do jews and Muslims maintain their fundamental Abrahamism.

    The broader term that refers to the equivalent of European philosophy across all civilizations regardless of it’s composition (Aristotelian, Confucian, Platonic, Buddhist, Abrahamic, Hindu) is ‘**wisdom literature**’.

    So we label other society’s wisdom literature as ‘philosophy’ by analogy, but this a misapplication of the term. Instead, all civilizations had to, and did, produce a wisdom literature as a system of measurement that limited description, decision, choice, and preference to **coherence** with (or advancement of) the group’s survival (evolutionary, competitive) strategy.

    The structure and content of that wisdom literature was and remains dependent upon the **order of the development of civilizational institutions**.

    This is probably a lot to absorb, but there are only **three methods of coercing** humans: force threat or defense, material reward or lost opportunity, or social threat or social advancement.

    We develop systems of State (Bureaucracy), Social (religion), and Trade (Law) in some order. The difference in our means of persuasion – our ‘wisdom literature’ is dependent upon the order. With the last of the three developed the weakest or non existent.

    * *State(Bureacracy) using ****force**** <-> Law(Judiciary) using ****deprivation**** <-> Social(Religion) using ****ostracization***

    Just as Philosophy is an abused term, so is **law**. The west developed rule of law and politics. No other people produced law or politics. They produced command and rule. So there exists rule **OF** law, rule **BY** legislation, rule by tradition (religion, priests), and rule by regulation (bureaucracy), and rule by command (authority).

    * *Rule of Law <-> Rule by legislation <-> Rule by Tradition <-> Rule by Regulation <-> Rule by Command*

    **The west developed law first**, the state with Rome, and formal religion only with Xianity. The far east developed state and bureaucracy first and neither religion nor law. And the middle east developed religion first and state second and never law; The Jews developed religion and law but not state. Arabs religion and neither law nor state. And Indians religion and limited law and even more limited state.

    **PHILOSOPHY AND THE MIDDLE AND UPPER MIDDLE CLASSES**

    We use philosophy as the lowest order system of measurement – in an attempt to organize a **paradigm of decidability **within a given domain of questions. Once we have discovered it, and it is coherent with all other paradigms, under the paradigm of realism, naturalism, and operationalism – we call that a science.

    However, the sciences can only provide decidability (universally). They can only inform choice (between people). They can only inform preference (by the self). But we are faced with a kaleidic universe, limited personal abilities, limited energies, limited resources, limited knowledge, limited sexual, social, economic, and political market value, and the resulting limited relationships.

    What consistent paradigm of decidability will assist the individual, the family, the alliance, the organization, the class, the bias, and the polity or the civilization in maximizing the return on our time on this earth?

    That is the role of philosophy: choice.

    The role of science: decidabiilty (no choice)

    The role of the logics (measurement)

    The role of Argument (truth), Philosophy (choice), ideology (political power), theology (power), deceit (theft, fraud) each have their functions.

    **DEMOCRACY GIVES RISE TO IDEOLOGY**

    With the displacement of the aristocracy (limits on the people and the state), the decline of Church, Pulpit and Theology, the replacement of the Church with the (leftist) Academy, the rise of leftist pseudoscience, the rise of mass production, mass printing, mass radio and mass media, and the opening of the franchise to the unpropertied (unaccomplished), then we were faced with the problem of organizing a population to act to bring about policy changes.

    **The purpose of ideology is not coherence**, not consistency, not truth, but to motivate a population to bring about policy and political change

    What is the difference between ideological conquest in the modern world and theological conquest in the ancient world? There isn’t any. In the ancient world and in the modern world the technique is the same, with the justification switching from supernatural and sophomoric to pseudoscientific and sophomoric. In all cases ideology is a means of motivating those lacking the knowledge to decide, to grant power such that policy can be changed.

    Why? Representative democracy forces this behavior; the population is not capable of the knowledge necessary to choose; and the population is vulnerable to false promises of freedom from physical, natural and evolutionary laws – and there is no longer a short term constraint on political action by hard (commodity) money.

    Ideology is closely related to propaganda. propaganda to postmodernism. Postmodernism and propaganda to theology. And propaganda, postmodernism, and theology to the Abrahamic tradition of undermining populations from within.

    **PHILOSOPHY IN THE SPECTRUM OF HUMAN SPEECH**

    1. **Physical** Sciences: Descriptions of constant **physical** relations (causation)

    2. **Formal** sciences: Logics are systems of measurement of constant **symbolic** relations.

    3. **Behavioral** Sciences: Description of **operational** relations (incentives, actions)

    But what comes after these?

    **THE GRAMMARS**

    Think of **The Grammars** as a **Periodic Table of Speech**. This list is severely abbreviated but it will get the general idea across rather quickly.

    The Spectrum of Human **Faculties**:

    … Physical

    … Verbal

    … Intuitionistic (intuition, perception, emotion)

    Produces The Spectrum of Human **Communication**

    … Measurement (True)

    … Description

    … Communication (Honest)

    … Explanation

    … Fiction

    … Fictionalism (Dishonest)

    … Deceit

    … Denial (False)

    Produces The **GRAMMARS:**

    **Descriptions** (Testimonies)

    … Physical: **Physical** Sciences (physics, chemistry, biology)

    … Verbal: **Formal** Sciences (math logic-positions, set logic-inference, algorithmic logic-sequence)

    … Intuitionistic: **Behavioral** Sciences (language, psychology, sociology etc.)

    **Narrations** (Explanation, Communication)

    … Physical: Testimony (empirical)

    … Verbal: Ordinary Language

    … Intuitionistic: Storytelling, Narration

    **Fictions** (analogies)

    … Physical: History

    … Intuitionistic: Occult to Religion to Theology ===> Theology

    **Deceits**

    … intuitionistic: Loading framing obscuring

    … verbal: Baiting into Hazard, (Marxist) Critique

    … physical: Fraud

    **Denials**

    … Intuitionistic: Avoidance(silence)

    … verbal: Evasion

    FIRST DAY OF A LOGIC COURSE
    (from comments I made on a paper) (Purpose is to illustrate the difference between how P describes logic and how the present academy explains it.)

    [A] few suggestions, that give the students context where that context limits the majority of student errors not only in class but throughout life.

    1) The sciences consist of the formal sciences we call the Logics, the Physical Sciences, and Social Sciences(psychology, and sociology).

    • Formal Sciencies (Logics) > Physical Sciences > Human Sciences

    2) Most of us are familiar of the logic of positions we call mathematics and its application to measurements; and the logic of operations, we call algorithms, programming, procedures, or the logic of sequential actions in time, and in addition, we use the general term ‘logic’ of the logic of sets applied more broadly language; So within the formal sciences that we call the logics, we use a least the logic of one property in measurement, the logic of more properties in sequences of operations, and the logic of speech using words that are unlimited, in a spectrum of increasing complexity.

    • One Dimension: math (Positional Logic) > N-Limited Dimensions (Operational Logic) > N-Unlimited Dimensions (Set Logic).

    3) These methodologies in formal science are possible because of the human logical facility. The human logical facility consists of neurological tests of the spectrum of relations that are constant, inconstant, contingent, potential, contradictory, and non-sensical relations that are perceivable by the spectrum of physical sensation, intuitionistic auto-association we call perception, and the sequence of thought we call dreaming, daydreaming thinking, reasoning, rationalism (“logic”), calculation (transformation of inputs into outputs), and computation.

    • Human Faculties ( Physical, Intuitionistic, and Rational) > Human Logical Facility > The Sciences > Formal Sciences > Tests of {constant, inconstant, contingent, potential, contradictory, and non-sensical} relations > Using {hinking, reasoning, rationalism (“logic”), calculation (transformation of inputs into outputs), and computation.}

    4) While the human brain operates in massively parallel competition for coherence between past present and future, describing our internal thoughts requires serial communication by signs or speech. When we serially communicate using signs or speech, we depend on rules we call ‘grammars’.

    Humans evolved not only the logical facility by massive parallel competition, we evolved a grammar facility to organize and communicate all or part of the experience that results. This grammar vacility and what we call rules of grammar, consists of rules of continuous recursive disambiguation. We use serial language, grammatical rules of continuous recursive disambiguation, to suggest meaning to others, by causing them to continuously recursively predict what we experience (mean). The audience uses those same rules of grammar to predict what the speaker intends to convey. The audience then conveys understanding, and either asks for, or is given, further disambiguation, until both parties satisfy the need (demand) for disambiguity.

    In the discipline of logic we refer to this more general term prediction as inference. And the discipline of logic as rules of inference. In this sense, with this understanding, the discipline of logic is either an extension of grammar or grammar is an extension of logic – and until the 20th century truthful speech, grammar, logic, and rhetoric (meaning argument) were taught as a continuum. (And, aside from the intentional removal of adversarialism from the curriculum in order to allow girls to compete, there is very likely a political reason you were not taught grammar, logic, and rhetoric.)

    • Human Logic Facility (parallel comparison) > Human Grammar Facility (sequential disambiguation) > Grammar(organization) > Logic(tests of consistency) > Rhetoric (argument).

    5) Inferences (predictions) are steps in reasoning, beginning with premises and ending with conclusions. We divide inference into the sequence: deduction, induction, and abduction. Deduction is inference that predict logical conclusions from premises known or assumed to be true. Induction is the inference (prediction) from particular premises to a universal conclusion. Abduction is the inference (prediction) to the best explanation. But that spectrum of deduction, induction, and abduction describes only the sufficiency of information we have to work with, as three points on a continuum.

    • Premises > Constant Relations > Inferences (Prediction) > Conclusion

    6) In this course, we are largely interested in language and we the logic of sets, with the laws of valid (not false) inference (prediction), under the general label we conventionally refer to as “logic”, using that human faculty of reason we call “rationalism”(limiting our reasoning to rules of logic).

    • Logical Facility > Grammar(disambiguation) > Sets of Properties > Rules of Inference (Prediction) => “Logic”

    7) We apply the logic of sets to language to test the truth, falsehood, or undecidability of propositions. When we say a statement or set of statements is false, they are inconsistent or contradictory. When we say a statement or set of statements is true, we mean the set of properties is internally consistent.

    • Degree of Decidability: Undecidable > Truth Candidate > False.

    When we say a statement is or set of statements is contingent, it is dependent on information external to the statement. And when we say that a statement is undecidable, the properties are insufficient to determine consistency – which means ambiguous.

    • Relations: Consistent > Contingent > Inconsistent > Contradictory

    8) When we say a statement or set of statements is true we mean it satisfies both the demand for disambiguity, and the demand for infallibility in the context – meaning it’s coherent with and consistent and sufficient for infallibility within the broader context.

    • True: Context > Demand for Infallibility > Coherent, Consistent, and Sufficient

    9) The spectrum of truth claims ranges from tautological – meaningless, to ideal – meaning the testimony we would give if we were omniscient; to testifiable – meaning that one has done due diligence against ignorance, error, bias, and deceit; to honest – meaning the promise that one does not deceive, obscure, load, frame, or fictionalize.

    • True: Tautlogical > Ideal > Real (Testifiable) > Honesty

    10) And people frequently make truth claims using a spectrum of paradigms using analogies to experience from the most general to the most specific:

    • Theological (allegorical, supernatural)
    • Fictional-Mythical (Allegorical natural-supernormal)
    • Psychological (and Moral)
    • Rational (Kantian)
    • Historical (analogical)
    • Descriptive (ordinary language).
    • Empirical (observable)
    • Ratio-empirical ( scientific )
    • Operational (testifiable, testimony)

    11) Despite the efforts of hundreds if not thousands of great thinkers, the result of the 19th and 20th-century research is that set logic applied to human speech is largely a falsificationary rather than justificationary system of thought. In other words, we tend to prove very little of consequence, but we falsify the infinity of falsehoods by ignorance, error, bias, and deceit. And this is the principle function of study of the logics: to improve our ability to identify ignorance, error, bias, and deceit, and to seek sufficiently unambiguous, sufficiently infallible, sufficiently testifiable knowledge despite the many human failings.

    Empistemology: Auto Association( Possibility: Idea ) > Justification (Explanation: Hypothesis) > Falsification (Survival: Theory) > Truth Candidate

    12) So this is the context of logic that we will cover in this course, and the primary benefit to you, in your life, will be the advantage of freedom from falsehoods by ignorance, error, bias and deceit.

    In my understanding, logic, as it is taught in university as the logic of sets and inference, is as archaic as scriptural interpretation, textual interpretation, and legal interpretation that it evolved from. And that between mathematics and set logic we are better off studying operational logic since it is operational logic that eliminates the limits of set logic.
