  • The meaning of Civilized

    Mar 5, 2020, 5:19 PM CIVILIZED LIKE VELOCITY IS A THRESHOLD AND SPECTRUM NOT A STATE

    —“Curt, how do we consider the Chinese a civilized nation when they do not engage in reciprocity with anyone, and they hack the whole world with false promises and sh—y, toxic goods?”— Ahmed Reda

    Civilized means ‘urbanized’, meaning ‘markets’, with ‘market ethics’, which we think of as middle class or ‘civilized’ ethics, combined with producing high culture (arts) as monuments (achievements), the ultimate luxury. Chinese civilization has been ‘advanced’ in the sense of (a) urbanized, and (b) producing high culture, since the ancient world. However, Chinese culture has never valued human life as we do in all of its history and the communists made it far worse. A quick perusal of the history of chinese art compared to european will illustrate the self loathing of the chinese toward human beings. A quick read of how many of their own people they have killed in modern, medieval, and ancient worlds, tells the rest. They are a low trust society still trying to emerge out of endemic poverty. We think they are an old people and they claim to be but they are not. The communists did to china what the (((current leftists))) are trying to do to ours, so the chinese lost all their high culture and traditions and ethics and suffered through the communist experience. Their priority in value is harmony over human life. Why this is the case is rather obvious if you understand their history.

  • All Epistemic Processes Are the Same

    Mar 6, 2020, 6:28 PM This might be hard. Yes, all epistemic processes are the same:

    sense-perception > auto-association > hypothesis(intuition) > theory(reason) > survival in market(demonstration) -> repeat.

    So it’s rather obvious that information move from sense perception(observation), to intuition(prediction), to reason (permutation), to action (demonstration), to observation in a continuous cognitive loop (continuous recursive). DECEIT 1. Emotional Influence (intuition, empathy): Bias, Wishful-Thinking, Loading-Framing,

    1. Cognitive Influence (Rational, sympathy): Suggestion, Obscuring, Overloading, Inflation, Conflation.

    2. Evidentiary Influence (empirical, imitation): Fiction, Fictionalism, Deceit

    3. Denial, and substitution of agreement/disagreement for truth/falsehood.

    FICTIONALISMS 3.1 Intuition(emotional-predictive) -> Occult-Supernatural -> vs realism, naturalism 3.2 Reason(rational-theoretical) -> Sophistry-Idealism -> vs Logic, incentives, rational choice 3.3 Action (physical-empirical) -> Magic-Pseudoscience -> vs Operationalism, Empiricism Technically speaking these are all methods of overloading our ability to detect constant and inconstant relations by appeal to emotional, rational, and evidentiary Edit

  • Q: What’s your definition of Christianity?

    Mar 10, 2020, 12:39 PM

    —“What’s your definition of Christianity”—

    What’s my definition of christianity? It means you are an ethnic and cultural european whose metaphysics, myths, and rituals, are NOT those of Germanic heathenism, European paganism, Baha’i, Buddhism, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Jainism, Judaism, Shinto, Sikhism, Taoism, and Zoroastrianism, or the other 15-17% of the world that practices some form of animism. A thing is defined by what it is not. This is why there are hundreds of christian sects and factions each claiming they are christian but in disagreement over what that entails. Scientifically it means the 0) gold (do unto others) and silver (do not unto others) rules – expressed in the law of truth(testimony), oath(contract), property(sovereignty), and tort before jury, 1) the eradication of hatred from the human heart. 2) the extension of kinship love to non-kin (where it should only be kith). 3) the demand for personal acts of charity and personal cost, 4) the extension of exhaustive forgiveness before punishment, enserfment, enslavement, death, or war. 5) in exchange for the abdication of self responsibility for all else, thus relief from persistent status pressure each of us is born with varying sensitivity to, with the empathic feminine mind more subject to it than the analytic male mind, thus the dominance of and persistence of the christian population by women and empathic men on one side and males of low ability that can find intellectual mindfulness in adherence to mythology. Narratively, it means 6) the mythology of and imitation of jesus for some protestants, the mythology and theology of the jews and their god for other protestants, the ritual and myths of orthodoxy for others, the dogma of centuries of theology for catholics. For others, it means 7) it’s superstitious primitive nonsense, for whom the golden and silver rules encapsulate all that is necessary, the common law, and truth before face, all that is necessary, and personal responsibility for the mind, self, family, kin, kith, and commons all that is necessary, and that the gods are in the minds of men, and that the universe is written in the laws of nature, the natural law, and the law of evolution, and our necessity to evolve in to the omniscient and omnipotent gods we imagined, given the finality of time available to us in the universe. And that any religion that disagrees with these laws is evil, and a crime against mankind, and it’s followers better burned on pyres as witches than tolerated for one moment more. Thankfully, other than suicidal universalism, suicidal tolerance, suicidal pacifism, denial of evolution, denial of human individual and group differences, denial of the necessity of our evolution into omniscience and omnipotence, and it’s incompatibility with laws of nature, christianity is not only compatible with natural law, but an improvement upon it’s epistemology. So while politically and militarily it’s terrible, socially and familially it’s wonderful. Which is enough to stay out of the way of transcendence. It’s just not enough to save itself and its people from jewish and islamic conquest.
