  • Conflation and Deflation of …

    November 5th, 2018 6:29 AM

    —“… Are lies beautiful, Curt?”—‎Digue Doug‎

    Pleasure(Self) and Beauty(Common) are two different things. Truth(Opportunity), Beauty(Fertility), Goodness(Plenty, Morality), are goods. Whether we seek to pay the Cost of them determines whether they are preferences and pleasures of the self as well as Goods for the Commons – or not. Lies can be ‘elegant, sophisticated, artful’ in the sense that the human effort and ability it took to produce them demonstrates excellence, superiority, and ability. But to conflate the CRAFT (excellence), with the CONTENT (beauty) is a sophism by either fraud or error. ( Thought you were gonna play a word game with me? lol nope. lotsa nope. 😉 ) hugs

  • Between the Ideal and The Real: Limits

    BETWEEN THE IDEAL AND THE REAL: LIMITS November 5th, 2018 12:29 AM [T]he difference between the ideal and the real, is limits. There are no infinities of morality, or charity, any more than of resources or measurements. The unlimited=the ideal, and the limited=the real. We have a deep desire for simple rules. But simple rules without limits – including christian love – are ideals (errors), not reals (judgments).

  • Demand for Belief Is Demand for Deceit

    November 6th, 2018 7:31 AM “DEMAND FOR BELIEF IS DEMAND FOR DECEIT” (worth repeating) by Igor Rogov [W]hen they say “I believe women”, it does not mean that they believe women’ statements like a scientific truths, but that they feel something between religious revelatory experience -and- sing-along with real Paul McCartney. While participating in the “The Kavanaugh Show” you’d get that special warm sensation, as soon as you follow the tune (gospel), you feel it is true (true to the melody, no false notes) and you are a part of something bigger and better than you.

    [pullquote]Just as in the orchestra and chorus and, perhaps, the Church. It is not the Church of Jesus Christ, but one grand Church nevertheless.[/pullquote]

  • The End Result

    November 5th, 2018 9:20 AM THE END RESULT. [Y]ou see, I started at the very lowest possible level, and eliminated falsehood at every single incremental stage of complexity, and ended up with aesthetics religion and education last. It produces a single coherent, consistent, correspondent, existential, complete, system of thought from the subatomic world to the rational, calculative, and computational – and from Metaphysics, to Epistemology, to Psychology, to Ethics, to Sociology, to the Law, to Politics, to Group Strategy, to religion education and aesthetics. What narrative one produces to ‘teach’ unders that system of thought is constrained only by the same rules. Everyone wants the easy way out, which is to just ‘imagine’ from the top down. Truth is enough. The Natural Law is enough. A small number of revolutionaries are enough to impose the Law, that forces Truth, that causes the chain of consequences, that results in ethnocentrism, nationalism, sovereignty, reciprocity, truth, duty, rule of law, markets in everything, and transcendence of our people – and all others if they do the same – into the gods we imagine.

  • Literacy

    November 6th, 2018 8:55 AM “Literacy: means ‘capable of reading and writing’. Being “Illiterate’ means incapable of reading and writing. Being “Literate” means ‘Well Read’ OR ‘he can read and write’. This is another one of those terms where we need a demarcation to prevent conflation. illiterate “can’t read” > literate – “can read” > “literate – well read”.
