  • Closing the Pathway for Their Lies

    (FB 1541535709 Timestamp) CLOSING THE PATHWAY FOR THEIR LIES —“Wherever there’s a pathway left to be explored, there is also an incentive/evolutionary pressure (same thing, really) to do so. Our goal is to close this particular pathway because it doesn’t benefit us and, for that matter, mankind as a whole.”—Martin Å těpán

    —“( We already knew Kavanaugh accusers were ‘making it up’, Curt )”– Jim Carlson

    You “knew”, I “suspected”, but waited (remained undecided) for the evidence. That is what separates the Jury from the Judge: and why we have both. 😉

    THE END RESULT.

    You 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.

    WHY? VIA POSITIVA IDEAL, AND VIA NEGATIVA REAL

    —“Can’t think of a better definition: Virtue is limiting your behavior”—Micah Pezdirtz

    Via Negativa in Everything.

    It’s very hard to learn.

    Via Positiva Ideal, and Via Negativa Real.

    CONFLATION AND DEFLATION OF …

    —“… 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.

    BETWEEN THE IDEAL AND THE REAL: LIMITS

    The 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 l 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).

  • Their Method of Argument…

    [I] have (((Their))) Method of Argument down in form. James has it down in stages of argument and counter-argument. We just need to educate everyone on it. Then we need to educate everyone that the only reason to NOT engage in ‘warfare’ and instead in debate, is if we are actually debating in order to determine a trade when we don’t agree, or a good, when we do. Then we need to engage in ‘War’ often enough that we suppress the ‘poisoning of the well’.
