  • The Grave of Postmodernism

    October 25th, 2018 10:01 AM THE LAST FEW SHOVEL-FULLS IN THE GRAVE OF POSTMODERNISM 1) I’m happy to go into depth on this subject but the argument is quite simple, and was put forward by a commenter:

    –“Postmodernists: question who controls knowledge and where it comes from”–

    Yes, that is a postmodernist (sophist). 2) A Scientist: Truth (coherent, consistent, correspondent, rational, reciprocal, limited, and complete) is power independent. Either you are engaging in full reciprocity correspondent with reality or you are not. 3) Pomo is an attempt to circumvent (conduct a fraud) by casting power as arbitrary, truth as arbitrary, reciprocity as arbitrary when they are necessary, and a presumption of an arbitrary good (equality rather than evolutionary survival) as justification for the fraud. 4) Hicks‘ argument, which you did not understand, is that POMO is an evolution of the (Marxist) means by which to circumvent reciprocity (science, economics, and law) by claiming power (science/truth, law/power, economics/necessity) is sentimental and psychological (arbitrary). 5) My argument, a bit more articulate that Hicks’, is that this attempt at fraud is not only from Marxism to Postmodernism, but from the long history of Pilpul/Critique, Abrahamic Law, Platonism, Abrahamic Monotheism, Abrahamic Theology, and Continental Philosophy (Rousseau/Kant) 6) And that under Pilpul(Justificationism) and Critique (Straw Manning, disapproval, shaming, ridicule, gossiping, rallying) any internal consistency (constant relations) can be argued (story or fraud constructed) to violate correspondence, reciprocity, limits, and completeness. 7) And that under Falsificationism (Survival) from tests of coherence, consistency, correspondence, existential possibility, rationality, reciprocity, limits and completeness (what we test in court) such Frauds (Lies to cover Thefts) are exposed. Leaving only truth candidates. 8) So while you merely made a list of STATED INTENTIONS, as scientists (and jurists) we measure the form of argument (lying) and the changes in state (thefts), and the means, motives and opportunity used (criminal liability) not the STATED INTENTION (lies) of the actor. 9) One is not liable for his intentions but for his consequences. One acts given the resources available(means), the institutions available (opportunity) to produce reciprocity (meritocracy) and therefore continuous eugenic evolution (survival from competition) or the opposite. 10) Ergo, Marx (econ/history), Boas (Anthro/Soc.), Freud(Psych), Cantor (math platonism), Frankfurt (Norms,Traditions,Habits,Institutions), the French Postmodernists (Reason Itself) sought to use the ancient techniques of overloading (lying) by pseudoscience (marx et al) and …. 11) … sophism (Derrida, Foucault, Rorty, Heidegger) to construct a disinformation campaign w/Critique: poisoning the well with a straw man criticism) in order to perpetuate a fraud(theft) by attacking Poincare, Maxwell,Darwin,Menger, Spencer, Nietzsche, and the Eugenicists … 12) … who were seeking to restate the successful group evolutionary strategy of western civilization (transcendence: by adaptive velocity ) using Sovereignty, Reciprocity, Truth and Duty, Jury and Tort Law, and Markets (empirical evidence of reciprocity) in everything … 13) … including association, cooperation, reproduction, production, production of commons, polities, and defense(war), in scientific terms (The One Language of Truthful Speech, under the One Law of Reciprocity). 14) Because it was this group strategy (today called “OODA Loops” in military, and “innovation” in economics, technology, and science), that allowed western civ in the ancient and modern worlds, to drag mankind kicking and screaming out of superstition, ignorance, poverty, starvation, hard labor, disease, suffering, child mortality, early death, brutality, arbitrary rule, tyranny, and the vicissitudes of nature, in a universe hostile to life. 15) So your ‘list of excuses-of-intent’ by stating ‘quotes of intent’ are just attempts to perpetuate the dysgenic, defeatist, destructive, fraud, of using sophisticated lies (sophisms, supernaturalisms, pseudosciences) to appeal to sentiments as a means of obtaining power. 16) When your use of that power, as we have seen, is to destroy the modern world as the abrahamists (jews, christians, and muslims) destroyed the great civilizations of the ancient world, costing us more than a thousand years of dark age, and a billion deaths … 17) … for no other purpose than pursuing dysgenia, destruction of capital, the manufacture of ignorance, in the 3500 year struggle of the primitive peoples (equalitarian poverty and ignorance) against the advancing peoples (meritocratic wealth and knowledge). 18) So I am not only calling you and other POMO’s Frauds, Sophists, and Thieves, but the Enemy of Mankind and the bringers of destruction, ignorance, poverty, dysgenia, and suffering. The only equality is poverty. The only wealth is differences (hierarchy). Because it is by hierarchy (Pareto, or Power Laws) that we can construct the voluntary organization of research, invention, investment, production, distribution, and trade, using the selfish incentives of man with the limited knowledge at his disposal, to seize the optimum opportunity at his disposal, such that together we defeat the dark forces of time and ignorance – despite none of us knowing more than a fraction of the existential knowledge we all possess. 19) And like I said, if you studied Physics, Genetic and Cultural Differences, Political Economy, and Law (the complete scientific method), then you would understand such things – instead of reading Sophomoric Political Fantasy Fiction. 20) Transcendence (Evolution), by Sovereignty, Reciprocity, Truth, Duty, The Natural Law of Tort, An Independent Judiciary (Nomocracy), and the only option remaining under all of the above: Markets for voluntary cooperation in all aspects of life. — closing — It is a well researched bit of knowledge that we claim a lie is performed by intent, but that we judge whether we lie by our preferences and cognitive biases. So we lie on behalf of our intuitions, not on behalf of the truth or falsehood of our statements. Ergo, we lie not just by intention, but by failing to perform due diligence against lying by intuition in the absence of intention. We are not only liable for our intended actions, but failures of due diligence before taking actions. We all self insure ourselves against falsehood. Some of us specialize in the fraud of escaping self insurance, by escaping due diligence against ignorance, error, bias, and deceit. — differences — Doolittle (law), Taleb (statistics), Hicks (Intellectual history)

    SO, WHY STUDY PHILOSOPHY OTHER THAN FRAUD OF SELF AND OTHERS?

    —“So are you saying that rigorously interpreting a text is by definition pilpul and therefore bad? How do you read philosophy then?”— postmodernist.

    (a) Is that what I am saying? And (b) Why would anyone read either theology or philosophy in the age of math, logic, sciences, economics, law, history, and literature – each of which is less vulnerable to fraud and confirmation bias, than sophism (philosophy) and magic(theology)?

    (c) because the only reason to do so is to justify perpetuate a fraud, commit a falsehood, justify a bias, or admit one’s incompetence at developing sufficient mindfulness (agency) to leave fantasy fiction literature behind.

    (d) the reason to write philosophy and theology is precisely to avoid math, logic, science, economics, law, biography, and history. …

    (e) There is no other reason to do so – which is why Abrahamic Theology, Platonic(literary) philosophy, their conflation in the medieval era, and continental reconstruction after anglo empirical falsification of it, was constructed.

  • MAN: KNOWN AS I SELF DECEPTIONS OR KNOWN AS IN DEMONSTRATED ACTIONS (TRUTH)? —

    MAN: KNOWN AS I SELF DECEPTIONS OR KNOWN AS IN DEMONSTRATED ACTIONS (TRUTH)?

    —“If Propertarianism is grounded solely on science and not religion, then on what basis is Man (with a great M) known?”—Josef Kalinin

    Joseph : I can’t decompose that question. Man ‘is’, (exists as) that which he has demonstrated by his history. the stories (sedations) we tell ourselves at any point in history, merely serve to ameliorate our instincts (largely status) in relation to our resources (physical, emotional, mental) budges, and existential resources in all their forms – from physical things to relationships to knowledge.

    So are you asking “What is man?”, or “What methods of sedation (self medication) has man used through history?”

    Propertarianism ‘accounts for’ (takes account of):

    Math, Logic, Science (Physics-Chemistry-Biology, Psychology, Law, Economics, History, Literature, Philosophy, Religion, The Occult, the Fictionalisms, and Methods of Deceit.

    What it most takes account of, and no others do, is the transition of our understanding, knowledge and instrumentation from human scale to pre (supra/below) and post (super/above) human scale.

    And as such at humans scale (Morality, Instructions, arithmetic(construction),confirmation) we speak in justifications (Via-Positivas) because we can directly apprehend such constant relations, where at below and above human scale (Law, Science, Mathematics(deduction), Falsification) we speak in falsifications (Via-Negativas) because we cannot directly perceive those constant relations with our senses.

    The world wars (Anglo/Balance and Russian/Expansion Screw Ups) interrupted the darwinian-mengerian-specerian-maxwellian-poincarian-nietzschiean-romanticist revolution. And the 20th century in social science was lost, as the cult-of-dysgenic-socialism found itself in a christ figure versus a darwinian evil of eugenic-national-socialism, which allowed the suppression of the second scientific revolution (in germany).

    But beginning in the 1990’s science has (slowly) rescued us such that without immigration we would have corrected the problem already.

    THE RATIONALITY OF MAN

    (important concept)

    –“If man was logical, and could be moved to action by empirical evidence, then libertarianism would have caught on much more than it did.”— Jesse Schultz

    Um. Well. You know, man is terribly logical given his perpetual dependence on fragmentary information in a kaleidic universe, and his need to produce the greatest returns in the shortest time, with the least effort, at the greatest certainty at the lowest risk, while under the burden (limits) of physical, emotional, and intellectual economy (costs). Man is forever rational (logical in the sense you mean it. Hence why we can sympathize (reasoning), and empathize (feeling) with one another.) and choose to cooperate with one another (predictability and trust) – or not. (You might want to read this paragraph a few times.)

    Via positiva some of us produce opportunities to exploit, and via negativa, some of us limit those opportunities that can be exploited to those that are reciprocal (not harmful to the incentive to cooperate rather than prey upon one another.) I work in the current era at post-human scale: via negativa. It is for others to produce MANY different via-positivas within the LIMITS of this via-negativa. Ergo, a market not monopoly of narratives (mythos), and at least one for each class.

    Meritocracy is only DESIRABLE to those who can survive DIRECTLY by their merits. Meritocracy is VALUABLE to everyone who survives because meritocracy INDIRECTLY preserves the incentive to cooperate. Because cooperation is simply so much more productive than any other action we can take (at least over time.)

  • Is the Alt Right Socialist?

    October 19th, 2018 9:44 AM IS THE ALT RIGHT SOCIALIST? (A Response to Jeff Tucker) 1) The alt right chooses nationalism (the optimum group evolutionary strategy) over globalism (the worst possible group evolutionary strategy for sovereign peoples). 2) The alt right claims (correctly) that (under nationalism) the debate is not between capitalism and socialism since all extant and all SURVIVABLE polities are and must be mixed economies – but between (a) rule of law, vs. arbitrary rule, and (b) unlimited trade that allows costs imposed upon the polity by externality, vs limits to trade that prohibits costs upon the polity by externality. This is because lower prices that are obtained in exchange for the spectrum of losses to capital including human capital are not in fact lower prices, but involuntary transfers by indirection. 3) The alt right claims (correctly) that the returns on Commons (capital accumulation) are higher than the returns on consumption for the purpose of signaling. Libertarians must choose if they are Globalists and Dysgenicists and Destroyers of capital in exchange for consumption, or Nationalists and Eugenicists, and creators of capital by investment in commons. Libertarianism is unmasked: Jewish (rothbardian) Diasporic Globalist Dysgenic Capitalism (capital accumulation in separatists), or European Nationalist Eugenic, Mixed Economy (capital accumulation in commons). The west outpaced the rest by the simple but profoundly expensive strategy of producing commons, including the commons of trust, truth, rule of law, reciprocity, and the suppression of ir-reciprocity by externality, thereby creating a condition of ‘morality’. There is a reason why large companies are in protestant (Hajnal Line) states: trust. There is a reason low trust polities do not produce large companies.

  • The Only Solution Is Separation

    October 18th, 2018 9:54 AM THE ONLY SOLUTION IS SEPARATION [L]eft and Right is simply the problem of reproductively desirable for the purpose of intergenerational families, businesses and polities, versus the desire for satisfaction of sexual impulses, independent of family, industry, and polity. IN other words: “The competition between european paternal, familial, commercial, and political families, and semitic maternal, individual, subsistence, anarchy. Those with agency (orderly masculine) vs those lacking it (anarchic feminine). We cannot fix this problem because under prosperity people pursue their interests. It’s in the intersets of those with lower sexual, social, economic, political, military market value – they are less domesticated OR less desirable: “politics is the entertainment business for ugly people, and media is the occupation for those who cannot produce, and the academy the occupation for those who cannot materially compete.” THE ONLY SOLUTION IS SEPARATION“Revolt, Separate, Prosper, Speciate.”
