  • –“What Does True Mean?”–

    Ok, so traditionally we say “a statement that is consistent, correspondent, and coherent.” But that’s not really clear enough. So, I’ll expand it fully: 1 – categorically consistent 2 – internally consistent (logical) 3 – externally correspondent (empirical) 4 – existentially possible (operationally stated) 5 – rational and reciprocal (voluntary, ethical and moral) 6 – with stated limits and full accounting. (complete) 7 – and coherent across all of the above. (coherent) The reason being that (a) those are the categories actionable by man) and (b) no category is closed without appeal to the next. and so (c) any statement must pass all those tests. Now, a fact consists of a theory of a measurement. And a statement consist of a promise of constant relations. And a theory consists of a contingent description of causal relations. You only know falsehoods. We never know truths without perfect knowledge. We never have perfect knowledge. So all we can do is warranty our truthfulness (due diligence) against falsehood. This is the difference between justificationism (i think this because of these excuses) and falsificationism (i think this because I have no other choice that survives falsification).

    The constitution was the first written attempt to formally capture The Natural Law of Reciprocity as the means of decidability in political order: They invented The Third Way: Middle Class Market Meritocracy vs Upper/Martial, or Lower/Religious monopoly.

    What is right? Can we say? Can you? How would anyone know they were right? How can you tell? Join the Kialo debate on whether morality is objective! https://t.co/DLBPz7YxvI

  • 1) Moral Objectivity = Reciprocity:Natural Law(of Tort) independent of individua

    1) Moral Objectivity = Reciprocity:Natural Law(of Tort) independent of individual or group opinion.
    2) Moral Norms = Portfolios of rights and duties resulting in reciprocity within the group survival strategy.
    3) Moral Bias = Expression of gender and class reproductive strategy.

  • Male and Female Similarities and Differences

    Male and female brains differ structurally. Male and female brains differ in endocrine responses. Male and female brains differ in cognitive biases. Male and female brains vary morally because of those differences. What I think people are confused by is: – That these are only biases and we all share experiences. – That our brains divide the labor of searching for opportunity (prey) and searching for risk (predators). – That some of us develop in more masculine environments and therefore adapt to them through ‘exercise’ of those cognitive, emotional, and moral biases; and some of us develop in more feminine environments and adapt to them through like exercise. The problem is that both males and females need sufficient stresses of adaptation to function in their gender roles. So there are more feminine males and more masculine males in both body, emotions, and minds.
