    DEFINITION: TOTAL WAR

    Total war includes any and all civilian-associated resources and infrastructure as legitimate military targets, mobilizes all of the resources of society to fight the war, and gives priority to warfare over non-combatant needs.

    (stage one – mobilized total war)

    Total war is unrestricted in terms of the weapons used, the territory or combatants involved, or the objectives pursued, especially one in which the laws of war are disregarded, the differentiation between combatants and non-combatants diminishes, sometimes even vanishing entirely, due to the capacity of opposing sides to consider nearly every human resource, even that of non-combatants, to be a part of the war effort.

    (stage two – unrestricted total war)

    In the mid-19th century, scholars identified total war as a separate class of warfare.

  • Definitions: Capitalism, Mixed Economy, and Socialism: A Eugenic vs Dysgenic Gam

    Definitions: Capitalism, Mixed Economy, and Socialism: A Eugenic vs Dysgenic Game

    RIGHT: Rule of Law, Markets in Everything (j:Capitalism): the voluntary organization of production as a the result of the incentives that result from the anarchic evolution of money, prices, exchanges and contracts under the single principle, norm, regulation or law of the voluntary exchange of private property. This process is naturally meritocratic and eugenic and therefore scientific, which is the reason why the marxists despise it.

    CENTER: Mixed economy: the voluntary organization of production of capitalism, combined with the involuntary confiscation and redistribution of the proceeds of production. It can be dysgenic or eugenic, meritocratic or not, depending upon the amount of confiscation and the use of confiscated proceeds. This is the least worst option in which neither lower nor upper classes can obtain better conditions. (Like marriage).

    LEFT: Arbitrary Rule, Absence of Markets: Socialism (j:Communism): the involuntary organization of production and the distribution of proceeds independent of the contribution to production. It is dysgenic and non meritocratic, and provides insufficient incentives to produce enough to meet demands. But this prevents the lower classes from being ‘left behind’ which is their central intuitionistic fear.

  • OATH (n.) Old English að “oath, judicial swearing, solemn appeal to deity in wit

    OATH (n.)

    Old English að “oath, judicial swearing, solemn appeal to deity in witness of truth or a promise,” from Proto-Germanic *aithaz (source also of Old Norse eiðr, Swedish ed, Old Saxon, Old Frisian eth, Middle Dutch eet, Dutch eed, German eid, Gothic aiþs “oath”), from PIE *oi-to- “an oath” (source also of Old Irish oeth “oath”). Common to Celtic and Germanic, possibly a loan-word from one to the other, but the history is obscure.

    SALIC LAW (/ˈsælᵻk/ or /ˈseɪlᵻk/; Latin: Lex Salica), or Salian Law, was the ancient Salian Frankish civil law code compiled around AD 500 by the first Frankish King, Clovis. Recorded in Latin and in what Dutch linguists describe as one of the earliest known records of Old Dutch. it would remain the basis of Frankish law throughout the early Medieval period, influencing future European legal syste… See More

    COMMON LAW (n.)

    mid-14c., “the customary and unwritten laws of England as embodied in commentaries and old cases” (see common (adj.)), as opposed to statute law. Phrase common law marriage is attested from 1909.

    TESTIFY (v.)

    late 14c., “give legal testimony, affirm the truth of, bear witness to;” of things, c. 1400, “serve as evidence of,” from Anglo-French testifier, from Latin testificari “bear witness, show, demonstrate,” also “call to witness,” from testis “a witness” (see testament) + root of facere “to make” (see factitious). Biblical sense of “openly profess one’s faith and devotion” is attested from 1520s. Related: Testified; testifying; testification.

    DISAMBIGUATION: “P VS APPLIED P”

    I see lot of confusion by not separating “P” (the method) from various applications of the P-method. P-Method isn’t like libertarianism, or socialism, or some other political model. By applying P-Method we are trying to reform and restore our civilization. Method vs Application. Science vs Technology, Baking vs Cookies.

    THE METHODOLOGY

    1 – P-Metaphysics (realism, naturalism, operationalism, ….)

    2 – P-Epistemology (brain, mind, consciousness, learning, epistemology, acquisition)

    3 – P-Method (a method, the completion of the scientific method in a formal operational logic) of testing reciprocity in display word and deed.

    … a) Disambiguation, serialization, competition (supply demand equilibration, evolution)

    … b) The Grammars and Table of Grammars

    … c) The Operational Grammar and Universal Commensurability

    … … c’) The Specification for Man

    … d) Reciprocity in Display word and Deed

    … … d’) The set of definitions in series that result from disambiguating terms of reciprocity.

    … e) Compatibilism (division of perception, cognition, knowledge and labor)

    … f) Ternaryism, Tri-Coeercion – Tri-Functionalism

    … g) Beckerian explanation of social phenomenon using economic analysis

    APPLIED GENERALLY

    4 – P-Method applied to History and Group Strategies

    5 – P-Method as an explanation for the strategy and success of western civilization.

    6 – P-Law, and Government (applied P to creating governments) and

    APPLIED SPECIFICALLY

    7 – P-New-Constitution for restoration of western civilization.

    8 – P-Constitutions for various other civilizations.

    Which thing are you talking about?

    If it’s political it’s 7 or 8.

    Newbies talk about 7-8 all the time.

    That’s not P. That’s APPLIED-P.

    P method is the formal logic of psychological and social science, if not all science.

    P method combines all the philosophical and scientific categories.

    So when you confuse confuse P-method(explanation) with political preferences (application) it’s the same as confusing science(explanation) with technology(application)

  • What Is Propertarianism: “The Law”

    “The Natural Law of European Peoples”: A fully commensurable system of measurement across all disciplines that tests for reciprocity in display, word (truth) and deed (action); the extension of the logic of the physical sciences (realism, naturalism, equilibration) to the psychological(individual) and social(group) sciences using economic terms (acquisition, cooperation, reciprocity); thereby completing the scientific method (falsification of all dimensions possible human cognition); and thereby completing the Aristotelian program; and thereby providing the explanation for the success of western civilization under that program: sovereignty, reciprocity, and truth – and the markets that result from their universal enforcement, and the evolutionary velocity (adaptation, innovation) that results from those markets.

  • What Does Empirical Mean

    (core) Empirical: Reciprocally Observable, and therefore agreeable, or disagreeable.

    1. Empirical means observable such that claims can be intersubjectively verifiable or falsifiable: meaning the observation can be “agreed or disagreed upon”;
    2. in addition it means a sufficient volume of observations that we falsify the fragility of episodic memories, our tendency to err, our tendency to find patterns that don’t exist, or to bias the results, and to use both to deceive ;

    3. in addition it means using physical instruments of measurement to compensate for the limits of our senses, perception, and the resulting limits to intuition, prediction, and memory;

    4. in addition it means using logical instruments of measurement (testing) of constant, contingent, inconstant, and non-relations to compensate for the limits of our intuition, imagination, prediction, and reason and as such to prevent claims made in ignorance, error, bias, and deceit.

    5. together consisting of tests of reciprocity of information, and the possibility of Agreement or disagreement by reciprocity of information using due diligence in the falsification of sense, perception, intuition, prediction, and claim by RECIPROCAL due diligence using quantity, quality, consistency, causality.

    See the value of operational language? If you have the words for it, most philosophical discourses is rendered nonsense. See how law (competition) differs from philosophy by reduction to reciprocity not the self (philosophical justification)? Like I said, in almost all cases philosophical questions are sophisms due to idealism rather than realism – operational language.
