  • PHILOSOPHICAL MEANING, MEMORY, AND DECIDABILITY CAN BE CONVEYED BY: The spectrum

    PHILOSOPHICAL MEANING, MEMORY, AND DECIDABILITY CAN BE CONVEYED BY:

    The spectrum from:

    the scientific, to

    the logical, to

    the rational, to

    the moral, to

    the historical, to

    the literary, to

    the mythical, to

    the religious, to

    the occult, to

    the new age, to

    the dream-state.

    as:

    decreasing information,

    decreasing precision of decidability,

    increasing scope (more general rule), and

    ease of memory (remembering), and

    increasing dependence upon introspection and experience.

    from the Objective Calculative <—- to —–> the Subjective Intuitive.

    Because that’s what humans CAN do.

    And therefor it is what they MUST do.

    Narrative structures of all kinds assist in memory formation.

    Emotional loading and framing assists in memory formation.

    Spirituality (elation from the pack response) assists in memory formation.

    CAN you portray the same messages at each increasingly substitutive (associative) and decreasingly objective (pure) stage of transition? Sure. It’s an art. It’s the difference between science and poetry. What’s the difference? Meaning is harder to convey and retain without the subjective associations. And error, bias, and wishful thinking are harder to prevent because of the subjective associations.

    Ergo, any COMPLETE and DURABLE, INTER-GENERATIONALLY TRANSFERRABLE philosophical system of decidability requires restatement in division of the spectrum from the objective and calculative, to the subjective and intuitionistic.

    If for no other reason than childhood narrative pedagogy is more influential than late age calculative knowledge.

    OPERATIONALISM IN INTELLECTUAL HISTORY AND OUR CURRENT TRANSITION TO IT.

    (a) Operationalism is the next step in analytic philosophy.

    (b) Our failure to solve the question of operationalism in the early 20th is the reason that we were subject to social and economic pseudoscience during the 20th and 21st.

    (c) most questions of analytic philosophy, including the liars paradox are solved by operationalism. Most questions of philosophy evaporate as nothing more than word games. All philosophical paradoxes evaporate.

    (d) Consider this sequence: identity(category), sets(logic), constant-relations(math), existence(operations), moral(reciprocal), models/simulations(equilibria).

    (f) Consider that the objective of epistemology is not to develop theories (narratives for discovering candidates) but to catalog existentially possible operations (recipes for constructing possibilities) at all scales of existence. I believe this is the conceptual change we are currently transitioning to.

    (e) You can learn to write operationally using E-Prime. You can research E-Prime online. I’ve written extensively on this question if you search my website.

    THE REASON WE USE OPERATIONALISM

    the reason we place emphasis on operations is to force the author to articulate causal relations (so we know there is one), and to use a consistent grammar of existence (operation(observer), intention(actor), or experience(perceiver)). Since intentions or experiences are subjective nonsense, we ask for a consistent perspective: the observer. This prevents loading and framing, as well as substituting experiences or intentions for facts.

    I live my life by what is in front of me. I argue politics by the data since it CAN’T be in front of me. To do otherwise would be to apply specific cases to general rules, or general rules to specific cases, and both of those are illogical.
