Statements either :
1 – fail to satisfy the demand for infallibility (Undecidable).
2 – satisfy the demand for infallibility (Truth Candidate)
3 – satisfy the demand for Decidability (Falsehood)
It’s just very hard to learn to think that way.

CURT: PLS DEFINE FINANCIAL PREDATIONISM
—“Curt: Google returns precisely zero results for the term ‘financial predationism’. Can you explain it to me?”— Craig Tuohy
The use of fiat money (shares in the economy) dollars to provide liquidity (money necessary to preserve economic velocity and adapt to shocks) through the financial system(banks and financial institutions) that charge interest (profit) on business loans (speculative) consumer purchases(non-speculative) especially home mortgages, automobiles, and durable appliances, (when we are only borrowing from ourselves), or through fiscal policy (spending on government investments) rather than directly distributing liquidity to consumers via credit/debit cards, and thereby avoiding the transaction costs (time and friction of distribution of liquidity) as well as the unearned fees (interest) on borrowing money (liquidity) from ourselves. This is the cause of financialization. Between financialization, taxation, and redistribution of reproduction to immigrants and underclasses the productive classes (labor, working, middle, and professional) are being cyclically genocided against through “Financial Predationism”.

I’m your huckleberry. Humans possess agency. Animals do not. If I say one lacks agency, it means one is insufficiently human to enter into rational debate, reason, calculation, and computation. How is it that the inverse, as you suggest – which is the descent into animal instinct – and the abandonment of agency and reason somehow human instead of animal? Or are you saying that those who possess agency and reason are post-, or super-human? ( PS: I’ve dominated in everything I’ve tried. what have you accomplished other than avoidance of success? 😉 )
THE SEVEN TYPES OF AMBIGUITY (CONFLATIONISM)
by William Empson
1 – The first type of ambiguity is the metaphor, that is, when two things are said to be alike which have different properties. This concept is similar to that of metaphysical conceit.
2 – Two or more meanings are resolved into one. Empson characterizes this as using two different metaphors at once.
3 – Two ideas that are connected through context can be given in one word simultaneously.
4 – Two or more meanings that do not agree but combine to make clear a complicated state of mind in the speaker.
5 – When the author discovers his idea in the act of writing. Empson describes a simile that lies halfway between two statements made by the author.
6 – When a statement says nothing and the readers are forced to invent a statement of their own, most likely in conflict with that of the author.
7 – Two words that within context are opposites that expose a fundamental division in the author’s mind.

MARKET DEGENERACY
Market degeneracy occurs when we tolerate the satisfaction of demand and the taking of profits that come at the expense of normative, traditional, institutional, aesthetic, and informational capital.
The fact that you can sell heroin, MSG and SUgar rich foods, virtue signaling of the underclass, or the various equivalents, is a matter of demand, not a judgement of whether the satisfaction of that demand destroys accumulated capital.

[W]e don’t really use the term ‘Free Will’, because it is an ideal, and so tainted that it’s meaningless. We use the terms Agency (via positiva) and Sovereignty (via negativa) and Reciprocity (via voluntary, productive), and we state operationally what those mean.
