    Obscurantism and Mysticism are similar techniques. The Contemporary version uses propaganda. Reducible to Suggestion in all 3.

    THE CURE FOR SUGGESTION AND DECEIT.

    Rationalism was invented to attempt to reconstruct christianity without mysticism. I understand the great deceits. It’s but one of them.

    Rationalism’s Obscurantism and Scriptural Mysticism are similar techniques. The Contemporary version uses propaganda and repetition. But the technique is reducible to suggestion by loading framing and overloading in all three. Suggestion works. The science says that we can’t even defend ourselves from it even if we work hard at it.

    This is why we invented analytic philosophy and operational definitions in science. And why I have completed that project with testimonialism and propertarianism.

    To make suggestion impossible.

    At least to make it impossible in matters of finance, politics and law where it can be so readily used for ill.

    Suggestion is necessary or teaching each other by analogy would be impossible.

    Suggestion is necessary or supposition of intent would be impossible.

    Supposition of intent is necessary or cooperation is impossible.

    Cooperation is necessary or a division of labor and exchange is impossible.

    But in all human cooperation and all transfer there is a difference between suggestion of meaning, and the test of truth.

    We have been, as normal humans, attempting to define a single test of truth for millennia. But we have failed.

    Because epistemology requires the transfer of meaning by suggestion, and the test of truth by criticism.

    As such the single most important solution to communication is to limit the divergence between the means of communicating meaning, and the means of criticizing meaning.

    This is what I believe we, I, have accomplished: to speak in a manner that the least difference between meaning and truth exists.

    This is testimonialism and propertarianism.

    The scientific method is a process of creativity followed by criticism. invention followed by testing. Imagination followed by survival from scrutiny.

    The easiest way to limit suggestion is to refer to existential operations using a continuous point of view.

    Operationalism.

    With the tests of operationalism, we slowly train ourselves to speak the truth, just as we have slowly trained ourselves to speak in the language of science instead of the language of mystical analogy.

    And the benefits of this truthfulness will be as great as the benefits of science.

    We can define ugly and immoral art.

    Just as we can define theft.

    Just as we can define falsehood.

    And only beautiful and moral art remains.

    There is no recipe for beauty.

    But we can judge the ugly and immoral.

    Eliminate the ability of man to engage in parasitism and you leave him only the ability to engage in productivity.

    Eliminate the ability of man to engage in error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, and deception and you leave him only the ability to speak the truth.

    Eliminate the ability to pool and launder taxes and eliminate discretion.

    Eliminate discretion and you eliminate the eliminate the ability of man to engage in politics.

    We need not pursue the good, only the beautiful.

    We need not work to produce the good, only to eliminate the bad.

    By eliminating the bad, and pursuing the beautiful, all that remains is good and beautiful.

    http://194.44.123.114/THE CURRENT ERA REQUIRES KNOWLEDGEABLE EDITORS. SOURCES NO LONGER HOLD MEANING. JUST THE OPPOSITE.

    Wikipedia:

    Comment on Sourcing.

    There is a significant intellectual problem that Wikipedia is contributing to by seeking traditional (mainstream) sources that supply editorial filtering of content, when the ascent and increasing dominance of political discourse is conducted outside of those traditional circles precisely because those traditional editorial filters have demonstrated consistent bias.

    We see today’s political movements as extremely reactionary, on all three points of the political compass. The contemporary version of Paris in the 20’s is taking place on the internet, and instead of pamphlets that compete against newspapers, we are producing internet content against television, radio, magizine and newspaper. Precisely to overthrow the previous generation of thinkers and the political strategies that they advocate on both sides.

    I’m probably the most influential alt-right philosopher, and my generation of thinkers does not even bother with traditional publications. We work entirely on the net. Because we reach the audience without editorial interference from the status quo. A status quo which both right and left are demonstrably rejecting in the current election.

    – Curt Doolittle, The Propertarian Institute, Kiev, Ukraine.

    I think you know that are articles are meant to be based on quality sources and not the opinion of editors. – Doug.

    Circular. The question is whether or not you are in fact relying upon quality sources, or making excuses with which to intentionally bias the content. When you use the term ‘quality’, what you mean is ‘sources requiring physical capital to produce’. This is in fact the criteria. The quality of the material is not in fact a criteria. The truth content is not in fact a criteria. Only that it cost someone something to produce it. That is your criteria. In any event. I have better things to do. But falsehood is still falsehood. And in the current era, capital is not relevant. Author and survival of theory from criticism is. Any imbecile can rank capital. It takes specialized knowledge to construct criticism. And capital is no longer a sufficient criteria for determining anything whatsoever. -Curt.

  • Q&A: “Curt; Do You Have a Concise Definition for Testimonialism?”

    Colloquially: “The completion of the scientific method for the purpose of the conduct of law”. Testimonial Truth: Testimony (Speech) that is warrantied by the speaker through the performance of due diligence against imaginary content, error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, deception and fraud. The only truth that can exist is that which is spoken. We can never speak the perfect truth because we can never know if we possess it. The most perfect truth we can speak is that which we have performed due diligence, that we do not speak in falsehood: fraud. Testimonialism: A set of tests of due diligence, the satisfaction of which allows us to warranty that to the best of our ability our speech (testimony) is free of the falsehoods: imaginary content, error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, deceit, and fraud. Truth: That testimony we would give if we possessed perfect (complete) knowledge, perfect language, and an audience possessed of the same. And, at that point we speak a name, not a description. Everything has a true name. We seek that name. In seeking it we seek truth. h/t: Nick Zito
