  • Hierarchy of Knowledge?

    –“Curt, what’s the hierarchy of knowledge?”–

    [H]uman Logical facility (constant relations) > language (grammar facility, grammar, metaphysics, paradigm, vocabulary) > logics > math > physics(physics, chemistry) > biology (biochemistry, biology, ecology) > sentience (neurology, cognitive science) > psychology (incentives, biases) > sociology > regulation (norms, manners traditions, ethics, morals, laws) > Institutions > group strategy > aesthetics (preference ) > Storytelling (Testimony, Narration, Storytelling) > The Fork > … Physical: Science > Pseudomathematics > Pseudoscience > Magic … Verbal: Philosophy > Sophistry > Idealism > Surrealism … Emotional: History > Mythology > Theology > Occult As far as I know, science (formal, physical, human) has fully replaced philosophy in all ‘truth’ claims, and philosophy is left limited to  ‘preference’ claims. I am pretty sure it was Max Weber who said something along the lines ‘Eventually every discipline will be reduced to calculation’. All truth can be. Only choice cannot be.

    A grammar consists of a paradigm of permissible dimensions, a vocabulary,and the logic that results. So accounting, geometry, chemistry, and natural law are different grammars. Humans have developed grammars that are deflationary, descriptive testimonial,inflationary, and deceit.

    @Coronakrise5 @bishkebab3 I’m not sure why this is so difficult for you.

    Let’s try again. My work consists of (a) an explanation of the Grammars, (b) the operational grammar (c) reciprocity and (d) testimony within it (e) strict construction of arguments with it. (f) strict construction of law from it.

    “Non Aggression Principle” is an incomplete sentence, that deceives by suggestion: any idiot will agree he wants to be free of aggression. But every idiot will also substitute his definition of property(interests) to aggress against. Ergo, the statement is absolutely meaningless.

    Hey Curt, can I get a disambiguation of the “productive” part of the 5 point definition of reciprocity? The word itself is intuitive, but I’m trying to break it down into further specifics that can be easily understood by the public.

    Productive vs Parasitic Productive means Not parasitic, and no incentive to retaliate. A transfer or exchange where my demonstrated interests are greater afterward. For example, blackmail is not productive, it’s parasitic. And Corruption is parasitic, not productive. Even if they are true (‘fully informed”) an even if it is voluntary (“a choice”) neither blackmail or corruption are productive, and they encourage me to retaliate. If I say, give money to beggar, I feel good about it. I made someone else feel good. Neither wants to retaliate. If I give money to a bureaucrat or he won’t do his job in a timely fashion, I din’t gain anything, and I now can’t use that resource for the satisfaction of my wants – I don’t feel good and I resent him (want to retaliate).
