    PARSIMONY BUT INCOMPLETENESS

    Agency = Action | Truth = Knowledge

    We never have complete knowledge(omniscience) or complete agency (omnipotence).

  • Lack of Due Diligence = Lying

    LACK OF DUE DILIGENCE = LYING Aug 06, 2017 1:51pm by Bill Joslin —“Curt equates a lack of due diligence to vet ones ideas against error, bias, self deception, overloading etc as lying. Any primacy of consciousness or theism stands as arguing for a preference opposed to arguing a point in the commons. Theism and primacy of-conciousness are not verifiable in the commons – to proceed with them you must accept these premises. ***When we verify via our best empirical methods, our arguments gain credibility from reality. When we assert based on a priorisms which can not be found in reality we use logic to “steal credibility from reality” – we assert it as reality without consulting reality- a transfer of credibility from existence in reality, to the interpretive framework.*** If an argument holds arbitrary assertions we can dismiss it off-hand. (If asserted without evidence it can be dismissed without evidence)”—

  • Commensurability and decidability between individuals

    —“Without shared mythology, values, rituals, signals, institutions, language, culture, and kinship …. without some local commonality in these, there is no commensurability or decidability possible between individuals, and no coincidence of interests, and therefore no cooperation, only conflict.”— Eli Harman Eli hitting it out of the park on that one.

  • *Always Use Series*.

    Tip that some people get and some people fail to get: *Always Use Series*. —“mythology, values, rituals, signals, institutions, language, culture, and kinship”— —“ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism, fictionalism, and deceit”— —“murder, violence, theft, fraud, free riding, socialization of losses, privatization of the commons, conspiracy, statism, conversion, immigration, conquest”— —“Idealism, abrahamism, pilpul vs critique, sophism, justificaitonary rationalism, propaganda”— —“Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Rousseauianism, Kantianism, Marxism, Keynesianism, Frankfurt School, Feminism, Postmodernism, Outright Lying”—- —” logic, math, accounting, algorithms, recipes(protocols), science (operations), testimony, written prose, ordinary language, idiomatic speech, storytelling, fiction, fictionalisms, deceits”— —“Sovereignty, Reciprocity, Truth, Duty, Natural Law and Markets in Everything”— Each of these series contains all the information necessary to construct very complex arguments. and the virtue of repeating them, and any other series of definitions, is that it is extremely hard to play word games when all words as such are subject to competition in each such series.

    —“Ball as in ‘sphere’ comes from Norse ‘bǫllr’ /bɔlːr/, while ball as in ‘dance party’ comes from Latin ‘ballare’, which in turn became ‘bal’ (French for ‘a dance’). Totally different roots, it’s just one of those quirks of English having absorbed bits of so many different languages.”—

    WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A LOGIC AND A GRAMMAR?
    (important)(core)

    There isn’t any.

    Logic…>…Grammar….>….Speech………>…Story

    Is the same as:

    Law…..>…Theory……..>….Hypothesis…>…Observation

    Grammar: Rules of continuous disambiguation producing a well formed statement functioning as a series of transactions in a contract for meaning.

    Any person who has spent enough time with complex databases has made the ironic assertion that everything in the universe can be Normalized down to ones and zeroes.

    Fewer of us recognize that this is very close to the structure of the human nervous system.
