  • Via-Negativa Moral Rules (Prohibitions) Are Empirical

    Feb 7, 2020, 10:43 PM Well via-negativa moral rules (prohibitions) are empirical and there is only one: reciprocity within the limits of proportionality. Like rational choice within the limits of rationality. Like truthfulness within the limits of testifiability. That’s just obvious from a study of the history of law across every civilization. What satisfies reciprocity whether in manners, ethics (interpersonal), morals (extra-personal) varies because of differences in geography, economy, family structure, means of production, and stage of development – or more simply, dependent upon the scale of cooperation and the homogeneity or heterogeneity of the population in relation to its state of development. General Semantics by Korzybski, while originally an attempt to explain non-aristotelian frames of reference, was a (rather silly) dead end, just as is Eric Ganz’s present Generative Anthropology, and Derrida’s persistent trend in postmodernism, and somewhat less so Chomsky’s generative grammar. In the end Bourland extended the entire program to nothing more than eliminating the copula (verb to be) which, in english, eliminates the pretense of knowledge and clarifies thinking in the process. This effectively ended the GS program as a dead end. In P we use eliminating of the copula to prevent false knowledge claims by the no-operational obscurantism permitted by its use. This is particularly useful in suppressing the abrahamic method of deceit. Now, conversely Hilbert in mathematical physics, Bridgman in physics, Brouwer in mathematics, and (badly) Mises in economics all either criticized the set basis of mathematics, the Einstein-Bohr and Copenhagen consensus, or monetary economics as pseudoscientific – and only Bridgman succeeded in reforming physics. Even though, today, we have software to perform the drudgery of testing proofs. Turing and Godel brought about operational model and programming completed the transition between operational and computable and deductive. Minsky (correctly) stated that programming was a new method of thinking, because it completes the restoration of western thought back to its origins in ‘engineering’ (geometry) in the process begun by Descartes. But It wasn’t until the eighties and early nineties that psychology started to reform under operationism, and until P there was no solution to operationalizing social science. That’s enough for now. (BTW: I don’t take devolution to use of Godwin’s Law as anything other than evidence of my winning the argument.) And yes the only reason I respond is so that I can post these answers on the main feed to educate others

    • cheers.

  • Science Has Made Anything Other than Deism Impossible

    Feb 8, 2020, 9:05 AM It’s because science has made anything other than deism impossible for rational people, the bible and church dogma unbelievable, and the narratives that attempt to teach lessons irrelevant, absurd, or quaint – precisely because there is only one lesson. That’s before we get to the clergy being unworthy of respect, and the catholic clergy forever tainted by child abuse. People behave well because of the experience of safety in the burial, church, temple, military, marriage, feast sport,, festival experiences. This forms an addiction, just as safety in mother forms an addiction, just as friendship forms an addiction, just as sex forms an addiction – the reason we are open to addiction is because evolution’s way of keeping us invested in one another. We vary in the masculinity and femininity of brain structure which translates to a more empathic, social, and emotional or a more analytic, political, and action-oriented need. And the value of church (organized religion) dependent upon demand for inclusion. So thee church is evolving into satisfying only those people with the emotional and social needs that cannot be fulfilled by other means. Hence the uneducated, female, homosexual, dysfunctional, laboring class lower middle class shift in church demographics – and with it the economic collapse of church finances. So as usual, I go with the data. And the data isn’t pretty. Our religion like most, arose in concert with the agrarian age, and it has failed to transform for the industrial age. It satisfied demand for harmony in that age. And so given that people need a binding mythos and the rituals to reinforce it for social and political reasons, and at least half the population needs mindfulness for psychological reasons, how do we restore the utility of our old religion’s market for heroic figures under the same ethical and moral strategy, while preserving the christian moral and ethical strategy? The church hadn’t suppressed the saints, the path would be easier, since we could rotate archetypes as civilization changed, just as they did before monopoly (authoritarian) monotheistic abrahamic religions. So, we can’t do it and I think that is what is killing christianity as other than the religion of the world’s underclasses (Africa, South America). Religion teaches strategy for harmony and argument to persist it, but morality is something we know scientifically as reciprocity. But reciprocity tells us only to do no harm – to pay the cost of doing no harm.. Jesus teaches us to ignore our internal instincts and pay the cost of exhaustive forgiveness of ourselves and others. This tells us that we must pay the cost of harmony by bearing costs. And charity tells us that we must pay the cost of doing good. So while Aryanism, our ancient (market) religion, tells us to pay costs of excellence in all things and to be leaders in all things. Christianity, our medieval (monopoly) religion, tells us to pay costs of bringing people along with us. And our oldest religion of the hearth (nature, green man, elves, etc), tells us that nature is animal, childlike, and mischievous not evil, and we must be diligent against her mischief. These three religions were and remain in competition with another. Then the jews brought about marxism, socialism, feminism, and postmodernism, to destroy us as they brought christianity to destroy our reason, stoicism, epicureanism, and excellences in the ancient world. How do I, or we, help our people from not having another semitic dark age – even if our people, like addicts, desire it?

  • Evidence of His Hand, and His Language, Has Been Decoded by Scientists

    Feb 8, 2020, 1:15 PM God, if there is a god, evidence of his hand, and his language, has been decoded by scientists. He writes in the language of the physical laws of the natural universe, and the natural law of man, in a very small set of equations(sentences) that like all languages consists of nouns (states) verbs (changes), in a grammar of the subatomic, atomic, chemical, biochemical, biological, cognitive, behavioral economic, political, and military sciences. It’s only our failure to interpret all the sciences physical, biological, and cognitive as a language with only a few elements (sounds), combined into an increasingly rich vocabulary(words), according to rules (grammar) of sensibility (semantics) that remain consistent across all scales. And while mathematics at present gives us most of the language of the very small and the very large, as ridiculous as it seems, P gives us that language at human scale, in human time frames, for human purposes, of achieving godhood ourselves.

  • Our Proposal Is Hard to Refuse

    Feb 10, 2020, 2:11 PM P-Constitution, it’s nationalization of consumer credit, and its prohibitions on rent seeking, will destroy the entire rent seeking structure of the western economies, preserving only those investments that contribute to production. The entire insurance industry, mortgage industry, credit card industry, and any business that makes it’s money from credit rather than production and sale of goods and services will collapse with all the wealth retained by the laboring, working, and middle classes. The Concentration of wealth in DC, NY and via New York to Hollywood/LA will vaporize within months. Investors will flee to Assets. The prohibition on baiting into hazard, and the institution of involuntary warranty; the liability for testimonial speech in public, restoration of defamation, and the extension of defamation to defense of the commons; and the loss of copyright protection other than creative commons will collapse the media and advertising business as they desperately seek to reform. Capital will seek safety first, then alliance with the treasury on investments, and the states will have no alternative than to follow germany, japan, and south korea into competing with china on tech, and depriving china of its market. The requirement for right to repair and limits to labor arbitrage will restore european markets. The distribution of liquidity directly to citizens to maintain spending, and the deprivation of ‘undesirables’ from this distribution will drive them out of the market. This strategy amounts to paying off the middle to destroy the top and bottom.

    Feb 11, 2020, 12:58 PM (Pissing me off again.) Religion is the means by which we educate the intution in the group’s social strategy, through storytelling, and ritual, in groups, where we are most open to trust and subject to suspension of disbelief. This technique works just as do feasting, singing, dancing, games, sports, marches, drills, concerts, juries, senates, fireside storytelling, and bedtime stories, and pillow talk. It trains us to feel safe with one another despite our relative anonymity, alienation, and irrelevance to the herd. Never, ever bring faith to court. Never ever bring faith to science. Never ever bring faith to war. Faith is for the shared hallucination produced by sharing a ritual, in which we abandon reason and experience the safety and mindfulness of running with, feasting with, celebrating with, and resting with – the pack. It works. It works because it does not require reason. Instead we try to develop excuses for what it is rational. These are all lies. Faith works because training us in mindfulness in a civilization so alienating by sheer numbers anonymity, and division of labor and power distance we must find some way of liberating the mind from trying to calculate a relaxed, comfortable, safe, secure, successful, method of cooperating with others by means of IMITATION (training). Just like we teach a dog to walk with us peacefully. It’s no different. We are just another mammal. And the more ‘sensitive you are’ and the more ‘threatened you are’ the more you require this mindfulness. Never ever ever confuse faith(wisdom) with truth(testimony). We have at least three competing priesthoods: the scientific(material-physical) and legal(social and political-intellectual), and the spiritual(personal-emotional). There can be no right to falsehood in the material or rational. And It is right to criticize christians who invade the material or political with the spiritual. It is right to criticize the law for invading the spiritual. Christianity was semitic religion of semitic people for a very long time before it was forced upon Rome, and the christians destroyed by intent, and by design, all knowledge, all temples, all civic life, all education, as a means of preventing the restoration of aristocracy, reason, and agency, for the same reason the french, germans, and jews have resisted the British restoration of aristocracy, reason, and agency. Christians imposed submission(ignorance) upon the Cult of Non Submission (agency). There is no difference between judaism christianity and islam, in the destruction of the ancient world, and judaism marxism, postmodernism, feminism, and denialism in the present world. It is the same technique of undermining masculine aristocratic, meritocratic, heroic, military civilization by undermining with false promise using the addiction of mindfuless and false status. We domesticated christianity from a sick twisted deceitful corrupt semitic attempt to destroy western civlization and keep it in subjective ignorant semitic poverty. To domesticate it took a more than thousand years, and four great wars, and millions of dead. and we have still not escaped judaism and islam. That there is some good in christianity is true – because there is some good in all escapist religions. To say that it was not the worst plague against western civlization is simply false. So, you want to ‘socially construct a supernatural fantasy world over which you believe you have comprehension and control’ Just like the marxists, and postmodernists want to construct a pseudoscientific fantasy world over which they believe they have comprehension and control.’ The concept of postmodern ‘social construction’ is just the abrahamic technique stated in descriptive terms. There is no difference between stating women are equal to men, poverty is escapable in equality, and there is an omniscient and omnipotent supercreature. These are just stories for teaching children, that you have not grown out of. Never ever come before the court with faith. And we will not come before the faith with court. You have chosen childhood. We have chosen parenthood. You must be ruled. Do you understand yet? Don’t waste my time. Go fundamentalist if you must submit, go catholic for natural law and the pretense of reason, orthodoxy is best because it is apolitical, and strong – or join the rest of us in restoring our natural religion of aryanism, paganism, heathenism – with a nod to the nazarene’s request for love of the weak – in the love of nature, of our ancestors, of our heroes, and take on the challenge of transcending man into gods, through the continuous production of agency, through continuous competition, by continuous trial and error, in the face of ignorance and uncertainty. You may follow our transcendence. But you may not interfere with it. That is the purpose of the enemy. The gods of the european peoples ask us to join them. The god of abraham is the devil to keep us from it. That is the evidence.
