  • Did You Ever Break A Rule In Your Whole Life?

    —”Did you Ever Break A Rule In Your Life?”—

    As often as possible.

    Rules are necessary for those who need them. Why?

    1 – imitation ethics > 2 – rule ethics > 3 – outcome ethics.

    Some of us must imitate becase we have no understanding.
    Some of us follow rules because that is our understanding.
    Some of us act to produce outcomes, becasue that is our understanding.

    Some of us don’t imitate, don’t follow rules, but understand first principles and the outcomes that they produce.

    There is only one rule: “Non imposition”

    – impose no cost upon others by display, sound, word, or deed.
    – impose no use, wear, or cost upon that which is not entirely yours by voluntary exchange.
    – do not unto others as you would not have done unto you.
    – do unto others only what they wish.
    These are the only rules one need follow, because there is only one moral rule: non imposition.

    Otherwise

    There are no good rules that need saying.
    There are many bad rules that are said.

    There are many fools that need follow rules whether good or bad.

    For the same reason that we do not like bulls in china shops.

    They break things.

    The Stoics understood psychology 2000 years ago: man acquires, and negotiates to acquire. It’s simple to enumerate what he seeks to acquire from physical > experiential(informational) > social(status). Emotions reflect nothing more than responses to acquisitions. @jordanbpeterson

  • All the pseudo-moral social sciences are pseudo-scientific for the simple reason

    All the pseudo-moral social sciences are pseudo-scientific for the simple reason that cost and reciprocity are intentionally excluded from measurements (tests) in philosophical and moral discourse – but always included in demonstrated behavior. #jordanbpeterson #JordanPeterson

    I’m not anti-anyone. I don’t hate on anyone. I disabuse everyone of their illusions not the least of which, includes my own. But truth is truth.

  • Superiority And Inferiority Are Purely Empirical Measures

    Inferiority and superiority are simply a measurement of agency. They’re purely empirical assessments. Either one possesses agency of the self, the group, the environment, the universe, or one does not. The inferior cannot compete. The superior can. This competition whether internal interpersonal political environmental or physical is the only empirical test of superiority and inferiority. Evolution and entropy never stop. They are ceaseless. The superior evolves, adapts, increases its agency, and the inferior does not, and dies, and evolution and entropy continue their battle. This is not an opinion or a value statement, it is a description of every single process in the universe.

  • Why Westerners Are Susceptible To Ethical Duplicity

    Israeli (self) vs other (host) ethics is a continuation of ghetto ethics (one standard for you and one for me) – western ethics requires reciprocity. We hear (((arguments))) assuming reciprocity. (((They))) make (((arguments))) assuming reciprocity. That is why we are fooled, every day, time and time again by (((pilpul))) – we are the only high trust civilization that metaphysically assumes reciprocity, and therefore we are we are uniquely vulnerable to (((deception))), just as we are far less vulnerable to violence.
