  • These are the big questions of our age

    Feb 28, 2020, 8:09 PM To: Kimberly Kay Statements are true or they are not. They are desirable or the are not. To mask the true to promote the desirable is lying. To mask the true to obscure the undesirable is fraud. There is no comparison to the abrahamic dark age, the christian destruction of the arts, letters, knowledge, schools, government, and religion of the roman world; the BILLION DEAD from the islamic destruction of the north african, Egyptian, levantine, Persian, north west indian, byzantine, and balkan civilizations and their reduction to dysgenia, poverty, and ashes; or the Marxist, Bolshevik, holocaust against the russian, and ukrainian peoples, and the millions of eastern europeans who suffered under the bolsheviks including the russians whose development was set back a hundred years or more? So far the Marxist-Communist-Socialist-Postmodernist program has cost 100 Million lives at least. How many more will be lost trying to achieve in europe and america what the russians achieved at huge cost they may never recover from, and the germans achieved at cost of being all but destroyed? Why didn’t china have a problem until marx? Why did india avoid the problem? Why is western civlization experiencing the problem? Why are some ideas – false promises – so insidious that they are worse than drugs? Why are women and underclasses in particular so suggestible and easy to bait into false promise? Why do we tolerate that set of lies which is more murderous than all but the great plagues? And is constructed of lies by false promise of freedom from physical, natural, and evolutionary law? These are the big questions of our age. BTW: calling people nazis for arguing that some group of religions fosters undermining because of their cultural dogma and training is just evidence of the correctness of doolittle’s criticism. Statements are true or they are not. They are desirable or the are not. To mask the true to promote the desirable is lying. To mask the true to obscure the undesirable is fraud.

    “Statements are true, or they are not. They are desirable, or they are not. Whether they are desirable or not, has no bearing on whether they are true or not.”

  • The Answer: “The only difference in qualia being marginal indifferences”

    Mar 4, 2020, 2:59 PM (core) UPDATED

    —“The Qualia of Geometry Is Uniform. Or, to paraphrase: The cartesian properties of a cube are perceived uniformly.”—Andrew M Gilmour

    Or differently: all humans perceive space, consisting of place, location, objects, paths, and boundaries, uniformly, with the only difference in qualia being marginal indifferences. Or differently: all brains we know of evolved from the necessity of coordinating action within space and time, using the same method: construction of triangles, hexagrams, and rough approximations of volumes (spherese) from them, with the only difference being scale proportionate to bodily movement. Just want to thank you again for that bit of elegance.

  • The Manufacture of Ignorance

    Mar 4, 2020, 4:05 PM by Andrew M Gilmour Categorically speaking, logic, numbers and geometry are universal abstracts. It’s not a new insight. They just stopped teaching it nearly a hundred years ago. Or rather, i’ve never found a good book on it after the 1920s. Building a paradigm around geometry (spatial perception) enforces realism and empiricism. “Knowing” must come from the objective world. The subjective is only preference (desired).
