    THE SIMPLE TRUTH

    It’s pretty simple. Ultimate truth is a problem for priests and gods. But men must act using the available level of precision that their tools allow them to act at. Any statement at the available level of precision that allows actions to produce promised outcomes is a true statement. That does not mean that we cannot increase precision. So newton’s theories are true, as are Einstein’s, as will be whatever subatomic theory we construct that will replace Einstein’s. Because at each level of precision these theories produce promised outcomes.

    Truth is not found in your means of discovery, but once found, in your reconstruction of the discovery from necessary consequences of available operations.

    THIS IS WHAT I HAVE DONE: Philosophy and science will cease to exist as independent disciplines. That is enough for a man’s lifetime. Reforming political and moral philosophy is just icing on the cake.

  • Violent Reform of the Academy

    —When asked what form of instruction was most in vogue in Sparta, he said, “Knowledge of how to rule and to be ruled.”—

    [R]eform the academy with violence, not words: Testimonial Truth, Ethics, Law, Politics, Economics, Engineering and War.

    One does not rule those who are immoral with their permission – but expressly without it.

    Otherwise they would not need to be ruled.

  • Moral Judgements

    de.aristocratia

    [M]oral judgement is not open to question any more than mathematical formulae are open to question. Either equations balance, and proofs can be constructed or they cannot. Either fully informed, warrantied, voluntary exchange, free of externality was performed, or it was not. And in both cases, either information exists sufficient for decidability, or it does not. But no questions are undecidable if the information is present.
