(FB 1546134524 Timestamp) —“Just saw you table of grammars, there is enough material for ten years of study just there.”— Singular Speech Yep. Grammars, Dimensional Warranties of Due Diligence, operational language, acquisitions, propertarianism. Those sets of concepts produce a formal logic of social science, expressible not with set language, but with operational language. Like I said. There is a wonderful parsimonious elegance underneath it all. It’s beautiful. Truth is enough – and it is now possible.

(FB 1546116124 Timestamp) Reminder for newbs. I teach argument. In keeping with it, I have preserved this feed as a meme-free zone. If you post one, all you are doing is making me spend time deleting. Yes, I tolerate certain illustrated quotes etc. But I just delete that which is not argument. -thanks.

(FB 1546188259 Timestamp) —“Intellectual paradigms must surely require a different system of qualification besides functionality?”— Lisa Outhwaite All these tests are either additive (or not subtractive): 1 – True (not false), 2 – Excellent(not faulty), 3 – Actionable (not inactionable), 4 – Good (not-ir-reciprocal), 5 – Beautiful (not ugly). So yes. And this is yet another EXCELLENT example of why I do not use sets or set logic, but series, supply demand, Limits, and multi-dimensionality. No ideal types, Ideals – single dimensional tests of multi dimensional questions are just a convenient way of using aggregation for the purpose of obscurantism, loading, framing, and deceit. I suppose I should harp on the deconflation problem more often and explain why more often, but THREE POINTS TEST A LINE. A line of two points has no test of error. In other words, contrasting by one axis (statement, comparison) is a simple game – and a game too simple for any question of substance. Yet it is the preferred (lowest cost) method of human speech. Which is why we rely on justification (low cost meaning) versus falsification (high cost truth). This is why I consider all speech representable as geometry. And it is how I approach all speech: geometrically.

(FB 1546205702 Timestamp) Lemme’ tell ya’ somthin’. Somthin’ import’nt. There is a reason Sun Tzu, Machiavelli, Smith/Hume, Nietzsche, and their kind all write what they do: to remind us that those sensibilities we apply at local scale, and that are so useful at local scale, do not scale to international scale. in other words, in every era some thinker must remind the dominant forces, that morality is a local contrivance for utilitarian purposes and not an intrinsic good. And that in order to maintain those utilitarian properties of our local order, some of us, at least the military, judiciary, and monarchy, must never make the mistake that civility is an advantage outside of the polity any more than socialism is an advantage outside of the family, or democracy outside of the neighborhood. That’s my job for this era.

(FB 1546200836 Timestamp) A QUOTE: THE PAINFUL TRUTH —“( 1 – The first question upon which all others depend is why not to suicide? One can choose cooperation with the world, conflict and competition with the world, or boycott of the world. Boycott means suicide. This choice is that of personal philosophy. 2 – The second question upon which all others depend is why engage in cooperation rather than boycott, free riding, parasitism, and predation? One can choose cooperation, predation or boycott of others. Boycott means suicide. This question is that of ethics. 3 – The third question is for the group, and one upon which all others depend is why engage in cooperation rather than boycott, or free riding, parasitism, and predation? This question is that of politics. 4 – There is only one reason for the strong not to kill, enslave, or enserf the weak and to take their land, their women and their things. And that is a condition of perfect reciprocity. For it is the only condition more rewarding and lower cost than predation. The fact that reciprocity is mutually beneficial is but an excuse the weak use to grant themselves the illusion of equality with the strong. For the strong it is only a matter of superior returns, not morality. This is the end result of the three questions of life, ethics, and politics. All others are comforting lies. 5 – One BEGS for Liberty by permission. One FORCES sovereignty at the point of a spear, tip of an arrow, blade of a sword, and barrel of a gun. That’s the difference between failed beggars for liberty and successful warriors for sovereignty. Eat The Weak. )”—-
