    Curt Doolittle updated his status.

    The utility of a lie is determined by the desirability of its repetition. Lies are information products like any other market product. Monotheistic religions are the biggest most successful lies of all for the simple reason that people desire them. Not because they are true, or useful, or good. The demand for sedating foods, alcohol, drugs, and self induced sedation through ritual and lying is demonstrably higher than the demand for truth.

  • The Fraud of “an Open Mind”

    —“There is no point in arguing with someone with a closed mind”— Anon The problem is knowing when you are asking for an open mind : meaning “time to consider the argument”, and asking someone to agree, believe, or express faith in that which is not an argument but a fraud. The only non-fraudulent version of that statement is: –“there is no point in arguing with someone who is intellectually dishonest”– Appeals for an ‘open mind’ are always frauds. ALWAYS. Either you have an argument or you don’t. Either the you AND the other person(s) are intellectually honest or you are not.

    NOTE HOW THESE CATEGORIES (DISCIPLINES) DIFFER FROM ARISTOTLE’S – TRADITIONAL PHILOSOPHY

    Note the order, and the pairings.

    1 – Psychology : Acquisitionism(restating psychology as acquisition)
    1 – Aesthetics : Aesthetics (a scientific restatement of aesthetics)

    2 – Metaphysics : Vitruvianism: Man as the Measure (actions determine categories)
    2 – Grammars: Grammars of Measurement (restating language as a set of grammars of continuous recursive measurements.)

    3 – Epistemology : Testimonialism (completing the scientific method and uniting all the sciences)
    3 – Truth : Testimonial Truth (an extension of performative truth)

    4 – Ethics : Propertarianism (an extension of the ethics of property)
    4 – Law : The Natural Law of Reciprocity of Sovereign Men.

    5 – Sociology : Division of Perception, Cognition, Knowledge, Labor, and Advocacy.
    5 – Politics : Markets in Everything, Market Government: Ending Monopoly Production of Commons

    6 -Group Evolutionary Strategies : Those that do and do not converge on Meritocracy, Eugenic Evolution, and Reciprocity.
    6 – War (Competition) : War by all possible means (including post-Westphalian war)

    THERE IS ONLY ONE MOST PARSIMONIOUS DESCRIPTION AND ONLY MEN ARE WILLING TO SPEAK IT

    There are an infinite number of fictions we can fabricate. There is only one most parsimonious description.

    As far as I know a god is a fictional character. A demigod is a fictional character. A hero is a fictional character. And archetypal measurements are the easiest for man to employ.

    I leave Pilpul, Critique and the Fictionalisms for Women and Abrahamists. Truth is the weapon of men for a reason, and lies the weapon of those who are not men for a reason.

    Men Truth, Duty, Sovereignty, Reciprocity, and Markets of Meritocracy.

    All else is for those who are not men, but animal.
