Putin Killed Progressivism’s hopes of one world order. The Chinese were just happy and willing to have progressives figure it out on their own — eventually.

OMG:… Meaning is for poor people. OMG…. That’s my bit of wisdom for the day.
Philosophy and meaning are for poor people operationalism (science) and truth telling are for rich people.
Investigation is expensive.
The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer.
OMG.. That’s so true. And so awesome.

NO DISCOUNT
There is no exit by submission.
The only possible exit is by force.
Freedom cannot be obtained at a discount.

Secession is the greatest evidence of the failure of the progressive utopian vision of a one-world-order.
Any such illusion is merely a luxury fantasy of temporary military strength.

Well, of COURSE statism is a crime. It’s a conspiracy to use organized violence to deprive you of anything someone chooses to deprive you of.
Conspiring to impose morality under the threat of violence – and more morality than people may desire, isn’t a crime – it’s eliminating all forms of crime.
So neither the nobility nor the judiciary constitute a criminal organization.
But If you work for the government proper you’re a criminal.
And we are morally justified in just rounding you up and killing you.
Quickly and without suffering perhaps.
But morally justified in killing you none the less.

Dear Critic of Capitalism,
Yes. Capitalism objectively demonstrates your status among humans. Thus proving that your mommy lied to you. And that you are not special. You have no intrinsic value and you are not demonstrably valuable to others. Your existence is irrelevant as other than a consumer of resources, a producer of waste, and an existential threat that your offspring will be the same or worse. And so you are a dead weight upon your neighbors, society, man and earth. And as dead weight, the best that you can do is to not cause others too much burden or the earth too much damage. Now, without capitalism, the carrying capacity of the earth is one eighth of what it is today. So while capitalism makes your worthless dysgenic existence possible, please use every means at your disposal to eliminate it, so that we can return the earth to its agrarian carrying capacity without you.
Sincerely,
Mother Nature
Planet Earth, Sol System, Milky way.

The phrase “The truth will set you free” turns out to have been an empirical statement after all. It’s not poetic. It’s simply fact. But it’s a little imprecise. More accurately: USE of the truth, DEMAND for the TRUTH and PUNISHMENT for untruth will construct liberty.

Not sure that I can say this… hmmm…. Gonna try.
All general rules consist of statements of arbitrary precision.
All statements of arbitrary precision are constrained by limits beyond which they fail.
Operational definitions allow us to observe changes in state of premises (concepts), operations.

It’s really simple. 1000 nuclear weapons in eastern Europe. They were here before. We can put them here again. Besides Russia is a one-city country. only one or two need get thru.

—“There are no paradoxes. Only bad definitions.”—
All conclusions are only as good as their presumptions.
Words are not actions, only symbols carrying meaning.
Actions exist. Measurements (observations) exist.
Unlike words, definitions constitute formal theories.
It’s not complicated.
If you hit a paradox, your theories are wrong.
(worth repeating)
