Man as the measure of all things man Actually, the concept I am working on is whether we have everything backwards, and language consists entirely of measurements of different degrees of precision, and mathematics and operations are merely more precise measurements than we are familiar with speaking of. What does it mean to measure? Man is the unit of measure for all he measures. The limits of his existence, perception, action, and comprehension, provides him with units of measure. Measurements provide us with constant relations. All our other methods of measurement merely extend the constant relations provided by the limits constraining the existence, perception, action, and comprehension of man. This appears to be the correct model.

Precision In Eras
( The ancients worked in nearly all things, with a smaller number of people, in less diverse distribution of knowledge and labor, with of longer and slower production cycles, and therefore a lower means of precision. If man is the measure of all things he thinks, speaks, and acts, and if therefore language consists of various measurements of various experiences, then it is only rational that they would speak in more general terms at their level of complexity in time and we more precise at our level of complexity in time. )

Authority does’t exist, but testimony of due diligence sufficiently to warranty does. … Oh. Did you see that? There goes much of philosophical history out the window.

Because I work from the presumption of information as the model, and that Hayek discovered this, and Popper partly discovered the means of working with it, and that Turing told us how to work with it, and that our founding fathers attempted to construct a constitution of natural law, but all of these people only partly succeeded, they are my influences, they key to which was provided me by Hoppe’s use of property as providing perfect commensurability (which I state reciprocity).
All other philosophers I refer to, I do so to describe how our knowledge evolved despite their minor successes and major failures.
I view philosophy as dead. A literature for those who cannot command a science.

The next evolution after operationalism will be something on the order of ‘coincidence-ism’, where we explore the emergent patterns that evolve from different sized sets of different sized constant relations.
Mythology, Supernaturalism, Theology, philosophy, empiricism, science, operationalism, coincidence-ism, and that will lead us to some sort of macro-determinism.

YEAH. GROW UP. THERE IS ONLY ONE TRUTHFUL LANGUAGE.
Yeah, I understand that religion and occult, and psychologism, and this kind of literary version of ‘numerology’ is helpful to some people but it’s all nonsense.
All words are excuses. People act according to costs, assets, opportunities, and incentives. Whatever words they make up to make excuses for choosing among them is just more Egyptian/babylonian/semitic/hindu drivel.
If you can’t say it from the chinese philosophers, you can’t say it reasonably. If you can’t say it from the western philosophers and lawyers you can’t say it rationally, and If you can’t say it from the western scientists you can’t say it truthfully.
The ‘middle earth’ f-ckers have been a cancer on humanity forever. They still are. The cancer survives. It survives in fictionalism in its occult, religious, psychological, pseudo-rational, and pseudo-scientific forms.
All conflation may provide meaning at the cost of deception and the manufacture of further ignorance. Deflation is more costly but provides truth and it is with truth we defeat the dark forces of time, ignorance, distance, and sarcity.

CUNNING SOLVES NOTHING IN TESTIMONY, ETHICS, MORALITY, AND POLITICS
I try not to be ‘cunning’. I try to determine (a) what is true, and (b) what is the equivalent of true: objectively moral under the test of reciprocity. Every cunning can be met with an equal and opposite cunning and therefore is just an expression of taste. By contrast, true, moral, and possible can only be met by false, immoral, and impossible.
