  • Tying It All Together

    (Important post) SCIENCE: Taking action in order to discover, through the process of elimination, operations with which we can, as a consequence, reason – where the principle problem is removing ignorance, error, bias and deceit from free association, we call hypothesizing. MATHEMATICS: the use of positional names to describe averages of operations that result in constant relations, themselves resulting in different symmetries at different scales.

    Consequently we can use mathematics to discover patterns which we then seek to reduce to operations. And within the human world we can know these operations thorugh subjective testing (sympathy/empathy/self-experience) whether internal (above the intuitive) or external (physical world). Once we have discovered that set of operations, we can seek the set of operations beneath it – and so on, until we find the lowest possible set of operations from which the universe is constructed. The physical universe, at its lowest level, consists of a market, just like our own markets, wherein humans are just a very complex (high) scale, across multiple hierarchical markets, each of which consists of symmetries, produced by the limits of operations – just as man is limited by his physical, emotional, and intellectual operations that we call ‘actions’. When we operate by markets we operate in harmony with the physical universe – meaning the lowest possible friction – and we fulfill life’s purpose at the highest extant level of symmetry, wherein all life serves the purpose of defeating entropy. As such we defeat entropy by the incrementally fastest means possible. Western man was not first, but he was fastest. Because through truth and eugenics (domestication) he lived in the greatest harmony with the universe. The explanatory power of (number of philosophical problems this model solves) is profound. In metaphysics we often discuss levels of reality, but again that is another ideal, where operations are actions. There. I have done it. I have figured out how to say it in simple terms.

  • Power And Voice

    Laconic speech is a luxury of power. The spartans could speak as such because they mastered and made universal, martial epistemology. Most speech is either political or deceptive. The spartans needed neither. Seek power for the freedom to speak laconically. Laconic speech requires deep knowledge of the subject, extraordinary honesty, extraordinary insight, and an audience of nearly equal ability, whose experience and sentiments mirror the speaker’s. It’s wisdom is lost on the idiots. Seek the wise, so you have others to speak to. I think the modern version of laconic speech is the aphorism – which nietzsche mastered (and I try to). It allows us to speak of that which others may not yet comprehend, where the laconic merely cuts through dishonesty and posturing. It is *extremely difficult* to speak in laconic voice or aphoristic prose and it is probably, other than poetic rhyme, and poetic song, our greatest intellectual art.

  • Dimensions of Art Criticism

    Four years of art criticism. The primary rule of which was ‘no empty words’. One had to make thoughtful compliments and thoughtful criticisms. It sticks with you. DIMENSIONS: 1) Craft Scale (Craftsmanship(presence of resources)) 2) Design Scale (Aesthetics (presence of resources)) 3) Content (“Meaning” (presence of resources)) Scale (Population) 4) Monument Scale (Capital (Presence of resources)) Using triangulation you can rate any of ‘art, craft, or design’, by these measures. Value remains subjective but capital remains objective. Sorry, just how it is. But what I like to shock people with, is that beauty = fertility: the presence of resources. We judge art like we judge fertility in each other. It really is that simple.

  • The Route to Operational Grammar

    I’m trying to find a way of artfully explaining the difference between teh ‘verbalists’, (Cosmopolitans) and analytic logic, through to the ‘Turingists’ or Algorithmists, and then to operational logic. and I really don’t want to defecate on the analytic movement so much as get across the point that identities(math) and sets(‘logic’), just like empiricism(correspondence) are not sufficiently closed – or rather, cannot be closed. And worse, after first order logic, I am not sure that any of the rest has any more value than does game theory. Game theory might explain why we do soemthing but no actor ever engages in more than first order logic. So instead, if we start from operations, we are including the maximum commensuralbe, non-imaginary information, in our arguments. And that even then, truth propositions cannot be closed. If they are then they are no longer truth propositions, but tautologies. Since to requrie testimony requires information be provided.
