THE OVERPLAYED HAND OF THE HOLOCAUST
Sorry, but while it’s true, the argument was overplayed such that even the red cross disagrees with anywhere the supposed numbers. The gas appears to have been a fraud. Jews (and muslims) had beed deported en mass from Europe many times (and sometimes killed otherwise) – and despite revisionist history, not for entirely unjust reasons.
And it increasingly appears that Germans did nothing more complex or insidious than fighting world communism by repeating past deportations, using the methods developed for relocations by the Bolsheviks in Russia, while fighting a war on two fronts and running out of money for funding relocation camps – and as a consequence, putting victims to work as slave labor, then starving them to death.
Not that that it is forgivable, and that we shouldn’t prevent it from ever happening again, but it wasn’t novel, and it pales in comparison to the crimes of the communists and socialists.
History hates propaganda. People act according to rational incentives. In the end those incentives comes out. And the consensus of any century easily inverted in the next, when the passions once driving the narrative are lost, and the dispassionate find wisdom in the investigation of past deceptions, frauds, and excuses.
The globalist century is over. It was a failure whether communist or capitalist. And now that technology has equilibrated through the use of markets we return to a balance of powers, nation states, and markets – as in almost all of history.
Fascism won. Nationalist State Capitalism in the Russia and Chinese model has been in deterministic process since 1992, when the Russians and the Chinese finally gave up on socialism, leaving a trail of destruction through the developing world.
Propaganda has a half life. And it’s about the length of a human life. Like the winds of time, Historians do their job as clerks of intertemporal facts. The chaff is gradually removed, leaving the kernel of truth: war is a horrible thing and humans are horrible superpredators, and the fact that we get along at all is a miracle of our institutions.

1) Huh. Pretty elaborate straw man. (a) monkeys on typewriters is a hyperbolic thought experiment: Infinite time, Infinite monkeys, infinite typewriters, infinite paper, infinite storage of the results, and infinite review of their work product are all impossible presuppositions.
2) However, mathematics and sets are ideals not reals, and monkeys on typewriters are ideals not reals, and in the same way we can model mathematical infinities (operations on constant relations) we can model any set of Ludic (fixed set of references) operations.
3) So conflating the ideal (math, monkeys on typewriters) with the real( operations existential in space-time), is a fallacy, and constructing arguments from that fallacy a straw man (deception or fraud.)
4) that said, in the ideal model, some set of characters (~50), randomly generated (randomness is actually a hard problem in itself) will eventually produce the works of shakepeare…
5) and an infinite number of monkeys on an infinite number of typewriters would do so in the time it it takes to type the number of characters that constitute the works of shakespeare. In other words, the time such a thing would take would be rather short.
6) So while shakespear’s production of that prose took just shy of 14 billion years in a universe governed by what appear to be just sixteen forces and what appears to be one substance – just at different density and excitement – ideal monkeys would take only days to produce it.
7) the reason being that we don’t have to evolve monkeys, paper, ribbon, ink, typewriters, and the ability to imagine and model ideal conditions in order to start work on the project. (See Nine Billion Names of God by Clarke.)
8) So shakespear’s works were not created – they evolved out of sixteen basic forces of the universe and the one ‘whatever’ that space time is made from. Just as all else in the universe evolves from those very few rules in nearly infinite scale.
9) Abrahamic religion and all arguments thereof, depend upon two sophisms we call ‘Pilpul and Critique’. They took greek innovations (idealism) and instead of trying to understand the world, tried to impose hosts of lies on the world. We are very vulnerable to these sophisms.
10) Believers in the religions who employ the sophisms of pilpul and critique invented to justify jewish law, are addicts no less than any other drug user is an addict. That’s the genius of that religion. It produces an addiction response to lying.

—“I’m a philosopher and you can’t prove that [insert random anti-religious statement]”— Some Well Meaning Fool.
Well, let us play a game then. Because while you state are a philosopher, I state that I am a scientist specializing in testimony (Truth).
And that means that proofs (tests of internal consistency in axiomatic and therefore declaratives systems) only assist us in falsification outside of reductio (trivial) conditions. And that justificationism in philosophy and theology in all its forms is a sophism for the purpose of deception.
And that tests of truth in existential systems (hypothesis, theory, law) require due diligence against ignorance, error, bias, and deceit. And that fablsificationism in all its forms (science and law) evolved for the purpose of defeating deceptions.
And that the possible dimensions of criticism we are aware of are consistency, correspondence, existential(operational) possibility, rational choice (volition), reciprocity, completeness, parsimony, and coherence.
In other words, while in textual interpretation, scriptural argument, and application of extant law, one justifies a proposition, one does not and cannot prove a statement – instead we seek to falsify propositions and test whether it survives criticism.
My assertion is:
(a) that one cannot testify to the existence of a creator;
(b) that one cannot testify that the works attributed to a creator are not fictions and fictionalisms (lies);
(c) that those who created and perpetuated those lies had motives for spreading those lies, and;
(d) that the consequences of spreading those lies has been the cause of the thousand year dark age, the destruction of the five great civilizations of the ancient world, and the death of somewhere between half a billion and a billion people;
(e) that the argumentative technique invented in order to perpetuate those lies (sophisms), in both via positiva (pilpul and justificationism, using idealism and supernaturalism, with promise of reward/thread of lost opportunity) and via negativa (critique using loading, framing, obscurantism, overloading, suggestion, straw manning, and heaping of undue praise) are open to scientific measurement which defines them as successful methods of deception,
(f) that Boazian anthropology, Freudian psychology, Cantorian Infinities, Marxist History, Economics, and Sociology, Scientific socialism, Feminism, and postmodernism, all make use of this same technique, this time with pseudoscience as a substitute for supernaturalism, and economic and political reward as a substitute for reward in current or afterlife.
(g) And that only warranty of due diligence under the available dimensions of human action: consistency, correspondence, existential(operational) possibility, rational choice (volition), reciprocity, completeness, parsimony, and coherence (Testimony), can defend an assertion (proposition, argument) against ignorance, error, bias, fraud, and deceit, and the spread of consequences thereof.

1) Law, particularly western empirical law of tort, under presumption of sovereignty and therefore demand for reciprocity existed before idealism (mathematics), criticism (socrates), justification (plato), and empiricism (Aristotle), and their concluding movement (Stoicism, Epicureanism, and Roman Law). (Despite Augustine’s attempt to combine jewish law’s justificationism using pilpul and critique, with the greek thinkers use of idealism, and abandoning the result of the greek experiment: roman law, empiricism, stoicism, epicureanism, and tolerance for local cult and custom. ) 1) —“Rebutting the claims of an existing creator?”— Means, motive, opportunity, evidence, method of argument. The motive is to create a lie using false threats and promises to provide the individual with immunity from the labor of reason, accept his position in life, and act obediently to priests, in exchange for monies (and in europe, lands). While at the same time ending the practice of literacy and preserving literacy only within the authoritarian system of deceits. 2) —“Or refuting the resurrection theory?”— Means, motive, opportunity, evidence, method of argument. Evidence is that this was all compiled from preexisting myths, and other than some otherwise indiscriminate fellow being crucified for agitating against the profiteering by jewish priests, the rest of the story is a fabrication, not the least of which was initiated by Saul of Tarsus. People love to buy drugs.
