    ( I might be either a romantic or old fashioned but I love getting the approval of a woman. I love making them feel safe, and understood, and a bit spoiled. I love being in relationships. I love, their attention, care, affection and laughter. The problem is getting one that hasn’t been corrupted by the selfishness and mania of feminism. And no that doesn’t mean I think women have a clue about politics any more than I have a clue about children, or how to mother them. And that’s fine. It’s a division of perception, experience, cognition, knowledge, labor, and advocacy. I am perfectly ok saying that I comprehend half of the communication women engage in. I’m also perfectly ok saying it is nearly impossible to find a women whith whom you can have a deep conversation about astract ideas. That’s OK. I have men for those things. )

    LOVE

    So times you fall in love at first sight. I have fairly recently. Then you dismiss it as reproductive impulse. Then you confirm it through experience. And then the attraction sticks with you.

    Unfortunately there are things I just don’t believe in: interfering with a marriage. Especially when the man does his duty for his family.

    Even if he is not as able or successful. If he does his selfless duty I respect him. And it offends me to interfere.

    I am just not wired like that. I can’t really understand people who are.

    Now, assuming the woman takes action to separate that is a different thing. But I have enough of marley’s chains on my conscience. I don’t need that one.

    (We all have mental self images. I still think of myself as the kid in the mirror when I was 19. And it’s still strange to me when people call me Mr Doolittle. I keep thinking their talking to my grandfather. Mom says I am peter pan. I never wanted to grow up. It seemed pointlessly difficult to be an adult. Maybe that’s why I wanted to earn fortunes: so I could be peter pan. Probably. ) 🙂

    (I’ve transitioned back to CEO frame of mind. Feels like I’m in my favorite suit. Familiar. Comfortable. Confident. Very different from Philosopher-Curt. Not quite sure I like it.)

    THE IRS FINALLY BROKE MY LOVE OF COUNTRY

    I just didn’t enjoy living in America any longer. I felt it was an anti-white-male culture. I felt punished for success. But it took one unjust prosecution, where the IRS owed me a lot of money, but they froze all my assets, and nearly ruined me. That act of class hatred by lowlife made me an enemy of the american government forever, and determined to end it forever.

    Liberty in our lifetimes.

    (diary)

    Kant is interesting really because on the one hand, I see him as the sort of root of all continental philosophical evil, and the man who gave license to the ‘liars’ with:

    —“I have therefore found it necessary to deny knowledge in order to make room for faith.”—

    For which he will ever be damned.

    On the other hand, he does produce a few gems. Particularly that you should try never to lie, and a simple test of moral action:

    –“the categorical imperative … Act only according to that maxim whereby you can, at the same time, will that it should become a universal law”–

    But he goes into god’s plan:

    —“The friction among men, the inevitable antagonism, which is a mark of even the largest societies and political bodies, is used by Nature as a means to establish a condition of quiet and security. …. The history of mankind can be seen, in the large, as the realization of Nature’s secret plan to bring forth a perfectly constituted state as the only condition in which the capacities of mankind can be fully developed, and also bring forth that external relation among states which is perfectly adequate to this end.”—Kant

    I state this instead as “Any super predator such as man will evolve to create a condition of pacification of the universe around him. history of man is of his pacification of the earth. Sometimes more so than he desires.”

    –“The problem of establishing a perfect civic constitution is dependent upon the problem of a lawful external relation among states and cannot be solved without a solution of the latter problem.”—Kant

    I state this instead as “competitive pressures determine group evolutionary strategy, expressed as norms, morals, laws and institutions.”

    (diary)

    Listening to fellow Seattlite Greg Johnson, same interest in (a) art history (b) archaeology (“Gods Graves and Scholars), but instead of philosophy and culture, I was interested in the history of war, history of invention, science, cognitive science, AI and computers – and not in philosophy and culture. I was (as an aspie) far more anti-social. I remember starting with Durant’s POV that after his study of Philosophy, there is nothing much there, and history provides insight into man. I have ended up viewing law as the only honest philosophy.

    So despite similar backgrounds and gene pools we approached the problem differently.

    I used to complain that my mind had been transformed by writing so much software, and that it had affected my writing. And it wasn’t until I’d understood the failure of the operational/intuitionist revolution, that I grasped that the reason I’d made the discovery (or connection) was precisely because I had been so affected by writing programs, each statement of which is a test of existential possibility.

    It’s the same reason that I am clueless about pop trends in the alt-right and libertarian movements. I don’t read ‘points of view’ or ‘opinions’ or ‘beliefs’ so much as ‘what is’. It’s why I reduce statements to equilibrial transfers.

    Kind of fun to listen to someone so similar who took a different path.

    (No muse today. The weather has changed? Is that it? Fall is here? I woke at six and it was not yet light? Today I’m jealous of all the writers that use muse-enhancing drugs to produce their works. But I’m not into amphetamines or cocaine, so I have to make due with exercise, sleep, and coffee.)
