  • The Term “Individualism” is a Slur. Sovereignty, not Individualism.

    Non-Conflation is the Result of the ‘Sentiment’ of Sovereignty. I realize this is hard to understand, but in the simplest example, most cultures conflate religion and law. Ours maintained the separation. We preserve separation and therefore competition everywhere. Because sovereignty is our founding principle – that which makes us westerners. All other virtues of western civlization derive from – are a consequence of – sovereignty. Our separation of church (weak) and state (strong) is just what we think of most frequently. Or our separation of powers. But these separations exist to preserve sovereignty. We merely justify them as good because we intuit the preservation of sovereignty as a good where most other cultures are incapable of producing institutions that can survive competition. The term ‘individualism’ is a slur.  ANOTHER LIE.

  • A Sentence isn’t false. The Speaker States a Falsehood.

    (Bill Joslin – December 17 at 9:38pm) There is sooo much in this small conversation!:

    Curt Doolittle: A sentence does not speak. A speaker speaks a sentence. A sentence is not false. the speaker’s statement is false. Curt Doolittle: now you understand why we say ‘is true’ rather than “i promise” – to deceive. Moritz Bierling: Yeah, you’re borrowing objectivity for your personal statement. Curt Doolittle: I tend to, and I try to encourage others to, think about the information that is present and the information that is missing, and the incentives to remove information. or claim information exists that does not. We are somewhat vulnerable because the means by which we transfer meaning (substitution) is also the means by which we deceive (false substitution)

  • Q&A: CURT! HEY. WTF WITH ALL THE ‘-ISMS’???! (updated with additional detail) —

    Q&A: CURT! HEY. WTF WITH ALL THE ‘-ISMS’???!

    (updated with additional detail)

    —“Curt, I love ya, but why do you add “-ism” to the end of every fucking word?”—-Jací Eugènè Esteban

    OK – GREAT QUESTION – SO I WILL ANSWER IT.

    WHAT’S AN ‘-ISM’?

    —“-ism Suffix. A distinctive practice, system, ideology, or philosophy”—

    WHAT DO THOSE WORDS MEAN?

    —“An ideology functions, like literature, to inspire individuals to action under democracy. A philosophy provides methods of decidability in order to achieve a desired state of affairs. A formal logic provides language for the testing (criticism) of relations for internal consistency (falsification). A science provides a formal process and instrumentation for the elimination of ignorance, error, bias, and deceit.”— Curt Doolittle, The Propertarian Institute, Kiev, Ukraine.

    CAN YOU BE MORE SPECIFIC?

    Yes, a set of related terms, properties, methods, and arguments, in support of a judgmental, ideological, philosophical, logical, or scientific end.

    WELL MAYBE I STILL DON’T UNDERSTAND?

    Using ‘ism’ is a shortcut for a bundle of related ideas. Once you start collecting these ideologies, philosophies, logics, and sciences – just like in any profession – you start to categorize them by common names. Some of them refer to authors “Darwinian, Darwinism”, or “Aristotelianism”, and some of them by movement “libertarianism, progressivism”, some of them by method “empiricism, relativism”, and some of them by judgements “realism”, ‘naturalism”, “deism”..

    So *names, movements, methods, and judgements* largely (I’m sure that there are others.) You can think of them as recipes for baking a complex ideas by different means: *recipes for organizing ideas for the purpose of organizing people in the furtherance of achieving ends*.

    Or in simple terms, ‘ism’ means “thinking like those guys who think that way.” Rothbardianism = ‘thinking like rothbard thinks’. Aryanism = Thinking like the Aryan expansionists in europe thought: what we call “Aristocratic Egalitarianism”, or “Sovereign Heroism”. Where aristocratic egalitarianism refers to the fact that rule was maintained by a natural military aristocracy open to all who could accumulate the capital and fight with the rest. And where Sovereign Heroism refers to the judgements that these people made: they chose sovereignty(negativa) and heroism(positiva) as their balance of judgements (innovation). Just as the asians chose ying and yang for stable balance (stasis) as their balance of judgements.

    HOW DO I LEARN THEM ALL?

    Well, you know, you can just use wikipedia. lol.

    And yes I understand its frustrating for you. But I am working in the realm of a great synthesis of ideas, across many fields, and across many cultures, and across many eras. I lose people in the weeds already. Can you imagine if I went into detail when I was talking about each movement and way of thinking? omg. There is no way to leave all those breadcrumb trails. It’s just impossible.

    So this is just ‘how it’s done’. It”s how professionals in philosophy talk about ‘ways of thinking’. The fact that you can graduate high school without knowing intellectual history is actually kind of horrifying to me – because it didn’t used to be that way.

    If you want something more arcane than intellectual history try medicine. or the absurd gyrations that software people go through to label different ‘ways of thinking’ about problems. Or the hell=hole of terminology: social pseudoscience, freudian pseudoscience, marxist pseudoscience, … I mean. That’s before we even talk about Theology and literary movements. omg.

    So that’s why: It’s shortcut for bundles of ideas used by people, movements, eras, or methods.

    Thanks for asking.

    I get a lot of flack for this.

    And no, I am not gonna be a Molyneux that is gonna make it easy for you.. He’s great at what he does. But that’s not what I do.

    OK?

    Cool. 🙂

    WHAT DOES THAT WORD ‘TRUE’ MEAN?

    Look. You dont understand the word ‘true’.

    We construct mathematical, logical, empirical, operational proofs of consistency, and by doing so demonstrate possibility.

    You claim to testify truthfully, that your statements are possible.

    In other words, an expression isn’t ‘true’. It’s a proof and you claim to speak truthfully because of that proof.

    You can’t depersonalize truth. Because only you can make the promise of speaking truthfully.

    —“ A wisdom literature provides advice for decisions and choices within the limits of a group’s evolutionary strategy within a group using that evolutionary strategy. A Theology provides an authoritarian wisdom literature, by false promise and false threat, conflating wisdom and law between competing group evolutionary strategies. An ideology serves to inspire individuals to action under democracy. A philosophy provides methods of choice in order to achieve a desired state of affairs. A formal logic provides language and grammar for the testing (falsification) of the internal consistency of verbal relations. A science provides a formal process(logical and physical instrumentation) decidability for the elimination of ignorance, error, bias, and deceit from our claims. Strictly constructed Natural Law unite formal logic and formal science to provide decidability in matters of dispute. ”— Curt Doolittle, The Propertarian Institute, Kyiv, Ukraine.

  • A Short Course In Incremental Suppression

    THE MEANING OF INCREMENTAL SUPPRESSION (important concept)(propertarianism core) (worth repeating often) Causal Chain: Sovereignty > Natural Law > Incremental Suppression > Markets

    WHAT IS INCREMENTAL SUPPRESSION? organic common law as a means of incrementally suppressing free riding   11329943_844618748949499_3787539329878715636_n.jpg 1) Humans acquire at cost and defend what they have acquired at cost. 2) cooperation is disproportionately more productive than predation. 3) cooperation is only preferable to predation in the total absence of parasitism. Or, what we call free-riding. 4) Because of the disproportionate value of cooperation, Humans retaliate against free riding even if at high cost ( altruistic punishment). They protect the institution by severe policing of cheaters. 5) rules against free riding, either normative or codified in law, prohibit parasitism (free riding). 6) prohibitions that are habituated in norms or codified in law provide a means of decision making in matters of conflict. 7) prohibitions against parasitism can be positively expressed as contractual “rights”. 8) community member (shareholders in the local market) insure one another by suppressing retaliation against settlements of grievances according to norms and laws. 9) The common, organic law allows for the least time lapse between an innovation in the means of parasitism and the construction of a prohibition against this new means of parasitism expressed as new law. As such all laws are discovered. (very important) 10) high trust societies use common law to incrementally suppress all available means of free riding, leaving productive participation in the market as the only viable means of survival. 11) as a consequence, the reproduction of the lower classes is suppressed and the distribution of talents increases along with the innovations in technology. (market eugenics). Thus obviating the need for tyranny and redistribution. Aristocracy, Egalitarianism, morality, Nomocracy, meritocracy, Science, and eugenic evolution are mutually dependent. The chart below shows the incremental suppression of parasitism stating from the suppression of violence through fraud, through conspiracy, through immigration, through conquest. Only the west succeeded in developing truth. And without it we cannot have the jury. And without the jury no judge or common law. Truth matters above all else. Pseudoscience is just babylonian monotheistic mysticism in new clothes. This emperor is naked also. Truth is enough to rescue the west.
