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.

WOMEN JOYFUL AND MEN NOBLE
by Megan K. Usui
I imagine for most men that they love their women most, not when they are making them a sammie, although that’s nice and all but they love them most when they see their beauty and this is usually when a woman is in a state of joy. So provided the man has taken the noble measures of providing a frame for his woman (see my post from yesterday) that ensures his (and therefore her) stability, she can feel secure in this frame to be joyful. If we weren’t so worried about our men connecting with their nobility, thereby requiring all of these (unconscious) shit tests, we would relish in our expression of joy. Chicken or egg? Let’s not go there. Let’s just do our part and the rest will follow.

The West Is Already and Always Has Been Polytheistic
[W]e have polytheism already: mythology, literature, history, biography, law, engineering, economics, medicine, science, mathematics, and logic. It is precisely the deconflation into markets of specialization and the different explanations of the universe and our relation to it, that provide that polytheism. Western man’s cult is the law, and always has been. His civic religion of heroic ancestor worship has been invaded by semitism, for the purpose of political conquest, and we are yet again, for the third time, trying to cast it off. But supernatural semitism has been evolved into pseudoscientific and pseudo-rational Semiticism (Abrahamism) in order to restore monopoly of the herd, and once again destroy the market for explanations between peoples of different abilities, that cooperate by trade using that market we call law, regardless of their differences. Semiticism is political warfare no different than the british selling of drugs to china – and even more evil, and always has been. It destroyed the ancient world and drove mankind into darkness. it destroyed egyptian civilization, mesopotamian, north african, european, and eventually greek (byzantine). What crime is greater than 1b dead and a thousand year dark age, then Semiticism (Abrahamism)? So choose Europeanism (Aristotelianism and Stoicism), Semiticism (Abrahamism), Hinduism or its reformation (Buddhism), Cinism (Confucianism). But of them which is demonstrably the least harmful, and most beneficial? Truth is enough. Literature is enough. Ancestors are enough. and all attempts at monopoly and submission are crimes against mankind. No more lies. Truth is enough.

Propertarianism: The Central Idea
(from the introduction) [T]he central idea is the completion of the scientific method, and its application to the entire spectrum of human knowledge. Although understanding the full scope of what that means isn’t at all obvious from that statement. The completion of the scientific method is contained in Propertarianism’s Testimonial Truth (Epistemology). Acquisitionism (Psychology), Propertarianism (sociology), and Natural Law (Ethics, Politics, and Group Competitive Strategy). The rest of the work consists of application of that scientific method to the scope of human knowledge: “Here is the completed scientific method. If we apply the completed scientific method to the full scope of human knowledge, organized by combining categories of philosophy and social science into a single hierarchy, the result is all of these ideas.” The consequence of completing such a reformation of the scope of human knowledge, is our ability to explain not only all of human behavior, but to compare all human civilizations and explain why each excelled (The West), developed (China), fell into stasis (India), or regressed (Islam, Australian aboriginals, and possibly central africans), were conquered (far too many), or Collapsed (Mesoamericans). This reformation is on the same scale of the previous generations of the scientific method: aristotelian reason and stoic psychology of the late ancient world, anglo empiricism of the early modern era, anglo-germanic science of the 19th and 20th centuries, and brings the social soft-sciences from pseudoscientific into the hard sciences. But, given human defense of malinvestment in falsehoods, I suspect these arguments will take as long to propagate through our civlization as did those previous reformations of human knowledge. Whether you consider Propertarianism the Completed Scientific Method, Natural Law (social science), or the codification of the strategy of western civilization, depends upon your interest: intellectual (method), institutional (natural law), or anthropological (the reasons for western rapidity of progress in the ancient and modern worlds.) My original purpose was only to provide a scientific language for describing the group competitive and evolutionary strategy of western civlization. The result is the completion of the scientific method, an explanation for the success of the west, a reformation of human knowledge, and a Constitution of Natural Law by which any and all may live.
