    BLOOD FOR THE TREE OF LIBERTY

    If you don’t feed the tree of liberty frequently, then you must infrequently feed it a lot.

    Thus endeth the lesson.

  • Science And Philosophy: 2500 Years Of Intellectual History Condensed Into 125 Words.

    [T]he discipline we call philosophy and the discipline we call science consist of a set of methods (processes) which philosophical science, the social sciences, and the physical sciences, use to launder existential impossibility, limitlessness, error, bias, imaginary content, wishful thinking, deception, and (objective) immorality (in the domain of the social sciences) from our testimony (speech).

    This laundering is achieved by a set of methodological criticisms addressing increasing levels of complexity, of which philosophical science requires the full set of criticisms, social science a subset of those criticisms, and physical science yet another subset of those criticisms.

    Those criticisms consist of tests of: Identity, Internal Consistency, External Correspondence, Existential Possibility (Operationalism), Full Accounting (against selection bias), Parsimony (limits), and Voluntary Transfer (objective morality).”

    (I suppose a lot of philosophers could read that paragraph and weep – that it took us 2500 years to state it.)

    Cheers

    —“Trust is not sentimental value. It is a measure of the complexity of economic and social relations that can be constructed given the transaction costs that impede them.”—

    Put that in your repertoire and smoke it. 😉

    IF IT CAN”T BE EMBODIED IN LAW, IT IS MEANINGLESS.

    I don’t write continental philosophy. I write analytic philosophy. And I can state Propertarianism as law. THat’s the problem I have with NRx. It’s good as a language. It’s good at educating. But it doesn’t provide a solution to post-agrarian polities, and it can’t be embodied in law. I still feel that Propertarianism is part of the reactionary movement, even if I don’t really have much to do with Moldbuggery.
