  • THOSE WHO WOULD DEFEND THE SOPHISM OF POSTMODERNISM WITH THE SOPHISM OF CRITIQUE

    THOSE WHO WOULD DEFEND THE SOPHISM OF POSTMODERNISM WITH THE SOPHISM OF CRITIQUE

    “The Sophism of Critique.”

    It does not matter ‘what you intend’ or ‘what you mean’ it matters what changes in state occur (consequences) because of your display word and deed (actions and consequences).

    If I speak in poetry (loading/framing), or code (symbolism/parsimony), or science (existential description), I can say the same things in different terms and frames. If I act according to the instructions or consequences of deductions and inferences therein, my actions are what are caused by the prose.

    The Grammar of Postmodernism (semantic content and limits; its’ consistency, correspondence, non-operational prose; coherence; its rules of continuously recursive disambiguation) are simply a continuation of the evolution of the Sophisms of:

    Pilpul (justification), Critique (Straw Manning), Suggestion(appeal to cognitive bias), Overloading (of cognition), and Obscurantism (untestability);

    … used in:

    the Abrahamic (and other) religions > Platonism (Idealism/Obscuring one’s ignorance) > Rabbinical Judgement (Pilpul/Justification) > Christian Justificationism (theology) > Rousseauian (French) Moralism (Justification) > Kantian Rationalism (Pilpul/Justification) > Marxist/Freudian/Boasian/Frankfurt Pseudoscience, Justification, and Critique > and French Postmodernism (Critique).

    These Grammars are all forms of sophistry. What they are not is math(measurement), logic (internal consistency), empirical (externally correspondent), scientific(warranty of due diligence), economics(rationality), law (reciprocity), and history(evidence), that is commensurable and testable because it is consistent, correspondent, operationally stated (existentially possible), consisting of rational choice, limited to reciprocal actions, coherent, fully accounted (against cherry picking, and complete in scope (against cherry picking).

    Critique Consists in: disapproval, shaming, ridicule, gossiping, rallying, straw manning, reputation destruction, of enemies, and heaping of undue praise of allies, and a failure to address the truth or falsehood of the central arguments, and their outcomes, rather than proposing an alternative, superior, competitively superior, solution that is actionable, and produces superior outcomes and externalities.

    Peterson cannot say in his venues anything sufficiently complex that he would lose the relatively mainstream audience. I can. Because it’s my specialty to debunk sophism (psedorationalism: pilpul, critique, loading/framing/overloading/obscurantism), supernaturalism, pseudoscience, and deceit.

    Postmodernism is yet another sophism in the long line of deceits that evolved through history to compete with testimonial truth in law, and the evolution of the tools by which we limit one another to that which is testifiable, rational, and reciprocal, and therefore a truth candidate.

    In other words, Postmodernism is just another cult-of-lies. Like Marxism before it. Like Rationalism before it. Like Theology Before it. Like Occult before it: a means of coercing the simple to conform to the demands of the Herd. Whereas speech that is testifiable, rational, reciprocal, and stated in operational (existentially possible) prose, like all the grammars of testimony (math, logic, empiricism, science, economics, law, and history) is and always has been, and always will be the means of DECIDING between differences of argument and opinion.

    Thus Endeth the Lesson.

  • SIMPLE TERMS, POSTMODERNISM CONSISTS OF THE SOPHISM OF CRITIQUE APPLIED TO MIND

    https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/postmodernism/IN SIMPLE TERMS, POSTMODERNISM CONSISTS OF THE SOPHISM OF CRITIQUE APPLIED TO MIND RATHER THAN HISTORY, ECONOMY, POLITICS AND NORMS.

    The grammar of postmodernism is sophist overloading and straw manning, making constant relations impossible. It is the hollow verbalism of the solipsistic mind.

  • Attack it to understand it.

    October 13th, 2018 12:42 PM [I]f you want to understand something, attack it exhaustively and mercilessly until you can’t attack anything that remains. There is always a grain of truth in there somewhere under the layers of value laden virtue signals, sophisms, falsehoods, and fraud. 😉(had to update with sophisms)

  • It Doesn’t Matter What You Believe, Mean or Intend.

    October 13th, 2018 4:58 PM IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT YOU MEAN OR INTEND.

    —“Marxists believe…”—

    You’re confusing what people intend, with the 1) method of argument (sophism, and self deception) 2) whether they are making true or false claims on true or false premises, 3) What people intend(or claim) vs the operations and consequences that they produce, 4) whether they are advocating reciprocity and production and eugenics, or proportionality, parasitism, and dysgenics. IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT YOU “MEAN”. It matters what you do, and the consequences of doing so. and whether you’re advocating theft and dysgenia, or reciprocity and eugenia. a) people were not oppressed. inferior humans were incrementally domesticated just like all other animals, in the most peaceful way possible: manorialism, criminal prosecution, incompetence in the face of nature, and winter, disease, and war weeding them. b) the classes exist because of competency despite nepotism and regression to the mean, because there are only three means of organizing people: force, remuneration (reward), and ostracization (conformity vs reputation destruction). And three means of transforming the universe for our use: labor (physical transformation), calculation (numbers, science, etc), organization (priests, managers, executives), and rule (force law violence war). The use of which means of coercion (force/law/truth/science, religion/philosophy/ideology, commerce/law/credit) can be specialized into a monopoly (east), specialized into a market (west), conflated (egypt, mesopotamia. c) we do not, and the evidence is marxists-postmodernist-feminists (and the feminine equalitarian mind in general) lack the AGENCY (self awareness) to understand what they do, only what the experience and intuit and therefore seek to justify. It is inconceivable to a masculinist (conservative, aristocracy, meritocracy, reciprocity, loyalty, purity) how much time and effort a feminist (liberal, socialist, equalitarian, proportionality, individualist, devotional, impurist) worries about ‘being left behind’ (equality). Why? The pack can intuit the herd, but the herd can’t intuit the pack. Masculine Great Ape Packs, Female Herds. And our minds (brains) are structured (evolved) for each bias. SO YES IT’S SIMPLE: IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT EXCUSES YOU MAKE FOR THE ARGUMENTS AND OUTCOMES YOU ADVOCATE.
