Logic doesn’t tell you what’s true except in those trivial circumstances that idiots use to claim logic tells us what’s true. Logic is a form of laundry detergent. We use it to clean our ideas.

The American constitution created a system wherein the natural aristocracy could not be DISEMPOWERED by other classes, but where none of the natural aristocracy could obtain SUFFICIENT power to deprive other members of it. Ergo, the American model could not sustain expansion of the franchise.

Dunning Kruger Never Stops
To the idiot, the world conspires or lies.
To the average, the more powerful conspires or lies.
To the intelligent, the more intelligent conspires or lies.
Differences in knowledge and understanding that are to you unimaginable are to those with far more just normal risk assessments they would make.
I published this graphic many years ago in an attempt to explain the problem of false positive ethics and false negative ethics.
The problem is, that when you FAIL, you look unethical, whereas if you succeed your look brilliant or heroic.
I’m a more than ruthless guy. I don’t do symbolism. So I take the risk whether it will result in a false negative or not.
Why? Skin in the game.
You cannot cooperate on equal terms with unequals.
Some men must be led if greatness is to be achieved.

The philosophers that get all the credit, distract from the jurists who do all the research. Western ‘Science’ = Common Law Tradition.

—“Almost all human problems and solutions stem from three sources: Information, incentives, and genetics.
The three function across the time spectrum:
1 – Information being a short-term (thus all the noise on education).
2 – Incentives in the midterm (creating reasons to apply information and do good practice).
3 – Genetics, the removal or increase of undesirable/desireable traits.”—Rob De Geer
