    LAYING DOWN THE LAW ON SOCIAL PSEUDOSCIENCE

    @KennethBuff @sapinker

    People vote POWER given the CONDITIONS of competition. That’s why Democracy works for selecting priorities in a homogenous polity but not choosing differences in a heterogeneous polity, and why there is so much friction between American ‘tribes’.

    Any time we state an incomplete premise we feed discord by supplying bias confirmation by doing the cherry picking for them.

    He (Steve) stated an incomplete premise in order to feed the confirmation bias of a majority faction – not the Truth. (Hence the legal requirement for “The Whole Truth and Nothing but the Truth”)

    What the NYT article referred to conveys is that virtue signaling is a form of conspicuous consumption that one forces others to pay the indirect cost of. (Theft by Fraud)

    Or stated directly: we are burning the most valuable form of capital in the world (homogeneity and high trust) for virtue signals, in order to obtain political power.

    If you cannot make a statement in social science using economic terms, then either you don’t know what you’re talking about, or you are engaged in selection bias, or worse, deception.

    Hence the rise of “Economic Imperialism” in the Academy as a counter to social pseudoscience.

    Um. Let me help you understand.

    1) Texas Has Its Own Power Grid.
    2) Texas Has Its Own Ports
    3) Texas Has Its Own Oil
    4) Texas’ Economy is the same size as Russia and Italy.

    Texas can create a currency overnight.

    NEVER ALLOW ELITES TO MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE TWICE

    —“Betrayal can never be forgiven. We can breed new elites. It’ll take time. But even in the meantime we’ll be stronger without treacherous elites than with them. And even with them we’re very nearly strong enough. Some mistakes, you don’t get to make twice.”— Ely Harman

  • —“What is the central dogma of the postmodern left?”-

    THE POSTMODERN CANON (Really, this is the answer).

    1. All that matters in governance is power, and as such all that matters is getting power, and therefore groups must do whatever possible to obtain power by any means.

    2. Truth, reason, science, reciprocity, value, are therefore just one means of obtaining power and therefore irrelevant in the pursuit of power, and as such neither truth, nor reason, nor value nor results of the sciences, nor the requirement for reciprocity necessarily serve the interests of obtaining power or not – and therefore intellectual honestly and consistency is both unnecessary and an impediment to obtaining power.

    3. The communist, scientific socialist, democratic socialist, and cultural marxist movements having failed in the competition for power given the successes of science, private property, markets, and consumer capitalism, the only means of obtaining power by which to impose a managed economy and equality of outcome, is to change the political value system from economic outcome to social status outcome (‘oppression’).

    4. Changing from material improvement and relative material equality to social status equality is to pursue the intuitively desirable but the physically impossible. (just as communism and socialism and life after death were impossible)

    5. The optimum means of obtaining power is to fragment the polity into identities, and therefore increase the demand for authoritarian solutions that replace existing market models.
