  • “IT MUST BE FALSE BECAUSE IT’S DIFFICULT”, vs “IT MUST BE FALSE BECAUSE THE OVER

    “IT MUST BE FALSE BECAUSE IT’S DIFFICULT”, vs “IT MUST BE FALSE BECAUSE THE OVERVIEW IS SIMPLE”.
    Why do you think you could understand say, category theory in mathematics, the emergence of the primary forces from discrete pressure, the biochemistry of proteins and their potential organization as a means of doing work, or say, the formal logic of legal proof, and grasp it from a just a paragraph? What about something as simple as the C programming language, or the Economics of human behavior? Or the difference between justification, falsification, and adversarial survival? And how should one explain any of those in a few paragraphs to people with no substantial education in them?
    Our work (my work) is both vast and extremely technical, but the solutions that we are capable of producing are practical.
    Why is it that you would presume to understand a thing if it was as revolutionary as darwin, and as complex as the innovation of computation?
    It’s because for some reason people expect ethical, moral, economic, legal, and political thought to be simple – it isn’t.

  • “All Africa uses less electricity than Alabama”– 1) Alabama is the fifth poores

    –“All Africa uses less electricity than Alabama”–
    1) Alabama is the fifth poorest state in the US.
    2) Electric consumption is a very strong correlate of per capita GDP.
    3) All increases in the human condition consist of increases in per capita energy capture, conversion and consumption.
    4) We cannot end increases in per capita energy transformation and consumption, but we can decrease the underclass populations.
    5) The counter revolution against eugenics has the greatest chance of producing a great filter for humanity.

    (And don’t blame the messenger.)

  • INTERESTING – THE VATICAN COMES OUT AGAINST GENDER CHANGE, THEORY, AND SURROGACY

    INTERESTING – THE VATICAN COMES OUT AGAINST GENDER CHANGE, THEORY, AND SURROGACY?
    https://t.co/QSbAcZslUm
    Interesting that the Vatican is both slow and mercurial in its pronouncements. However given that the church treats the family and not the individual as the first institution of civilization there is some sensibility to it. The church’s policy is generally: Protect the individual but Promote the Family

    (FWIW: My opinion, and the institute’s policy, is that if you’re a mature adult, over the age of 21, (possibly 25) then what you do with your body is your business. But that for children it’s a ‘baiting into hazard’. However, it is not legal, moral, ethical, or acceptable to demand others or the state or organizations participate in social construction or validation of one’s choices – we all pay the cost of personal expression. PS: Apologies to any of my acquaintances who I respect, for any offense.)

  • REPATRIATION OF STRATEGIC INDUSTRIES The Original Reason Chip Companies Moved fr

    REPATRIATION OF STRATEGIC INDUSTRIES
    The Original Reason Chip Companies Moved from The Usa to Taiwan in 1987

    TSMC’s founder, Morris Chang, a semiconductor industry veteran from Texas Instruments, saw an opportunity to create a dedicated semiconductor foundry in Taiwan, a move that would significantly influence the global semiconductor industry.

    Taiwan’s government also played a crucial role by offering incentives and support to the semiconductor industry. This, coupled with Taiwan’s lower labor costs and the ability to attract skilled engineers, made it an attractive location for chip manufacturing.

    This explains the strategic and economic advantages that Taiwan offered to the semiconductor industry, which led to the shift of chip manufacturing from the USA to Taiwan in the past.

    This is how we lose strategic industries: but not defending them. The function of the State in Strategic Industry is to act as a venture capitalist and obtain a share of the returns in appreciation and dividends – reducing tax burdens.

  • Assisting Dr Brad and Dr Jones with The Trinity as a Reflection of the Ternary L

    Assisting Dr Brad and Dr Jones with The Trinity as a Reflection of the Ternary Logic of the Universe.

    I’m going to make a leap here, and try something, because we are working with a prominent theologian to try to find someway of bridging the laws of the universe with the trinity.

    Father: (+)Masculine(force/defense) vs Son: (-)Feminine(inclusion(seduction)/Care)

    And Father(+) + Son(-) = Holy Spirit(=) as “neutral, beneficial, cooperation”.

    Likewise, any failure of cooperation (!=) equals collapse (vacuum, positive entropy).

    This mirrors Positive spin(charge, +) vs Negative spin(charge, -) = Stable equilibrium (matter, negative entropy) of the quantum background and it’s emergent properties producing proto-particles (waves) and particles, elements, and molecules through evolutionary computation of all matter using nothing other than this principle.

    That may be difficult for you to reason through but with a bit of work, it should be possible to understand.

    If we consider the idea that God and the laws of the universe are closely related, either in identity or causality, it could provide a basis for legitimizing the concept of the Trinity.

    So we are suggesting that the Trinity, as a central tenet of Catholic faith, may be seen as a reflection or manifestation of the fundamental laws that govern the universe.

    In this context, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit could be understood as personifications of the essential principles that underlie reality, such as the interplay between positive and negative forces, the emergence of stable structures through cooperation, and the persistence or dissipation of energy and matter.

    By drawing these parallels, we are inviting theologians to consider the Trinity not just as an abstract religious concept, but as a reflection of the deep structure of the cosmos.

  • Evolutionary computation: physics -> biology -> Cooperation So intelligence buys

    Evolutionary computation:
    physics -> biology -> Cooperation

    So intelligence buys us the ability to outwit the universe just as movement did before it.
    Language allows us to cooperate on longer time frames than physics or biology.
    So the field of survivable opportunities increase in scale and time as complexity increases from physical to cooperative.
    But the end result is the same.
    Cooperation produces a surplus or it produces a death, harm, parasitism, or rent.
    What produces a net positive (surplus) varies by context, but what produces a net negative (loss) doesn’t matter.
    Ergo immorality is universal in decidability across people even if immorality varies by utility of the individual and group.
    Teaching immorality incentivizes it. So we teach morality to avoid it and incentivizes morality.
    But in all cases immorality consists of imposition of costs upon the demonstrated interests of others whether physical, time, relationships, resources, or common resources.
    All that’s required is to enumerate the demonstrated interests of a polity and an individual to determine if reciprocity was conducted or irreciprocity by imposition of costs upon one another’s demonstrated interests.
    Rationalizing doesn’t. matter. evidence the world over across all of history is the same.
    You may have to visit our site to look up those terms but they are precisely defined and testable in court.

    Love of Mankind
    Some days, when the vox populi of social media, the captured news, the seditious academy, and the corruption of the state, have not quite depressed me – I still love y’all and all of mankind.
    I still believe victory over the enemy is possible and another dark age preventable – and all it requires is at least 2M of us to show up with rope, fire, and pointy objects until ‘the rights of englishmen’, ‘the rights of man’ are established once again, and the suppression of the enemy across the spectrum of folly and evil is complete, and the punishments and restitutions achieved with enthusiasm.
    To some degree our organization is seeking to produce a new aristocracy, a judiciary to maintain it, an inquisition to enforce it, and a militia to bring it about. And while nascent, as the crisis continues, our numbers will grow.
    There is no greater moral high ground than the defeat of the enemy that we failed to defeat two thousand years ago.
    The enemy may just be the ‘great filter’ that we must defeat to complete our transcendence into the gods our ancient ancestors imagined we might become.

  • ACCUSATIONS OF ESSENTIALISM AS ATTEMPTS AT DECEPTION. I wonder if anyone who use

    ACCUSATIONS OF ESSENTIALISM AS ATTEMPTS AT DECEPTION.
    I wonder if anyone who uses the words essentialism or essentialist (usually fundamentalists or apologists ) has any idea what the term means.

    Causality is what it is. A hierarchical chain that is ascertainable. Conversely, Essentialism in philosophy is an archaic concept that predates our present understanding of the entire spectrum of the sciences.

    And it’s certainly rather silly in the context of our work documenting first principles from the first cause upward into the full complexity of experience.

    One way to highlight the difference is through the classic example of water. From a scientific perspective, water is H2O – a compound of hydrogen and oxygen that serves multiple evolutionary functions, including as a universal solvent, with specific physical and chemical properties that can be empirically measured and manipulated. Calling something “water” is simply a convenient label for a set of observable characteristics, causal, and consequential relationships – as such it is a method of assisting in testimonial truth and preventing deception, deceit, and fraud.

    But from an essentialist perspective, water might be seen as having an intrinsic “waterness” that goes beyond its physical composition and behavior – a metaphysical essence that makes it what it is, regardless of how humans understand or describe it.

    So this is just another example of disambiguating causality necessary for action from conflating experience, including qualia, and auto-associative properties.

    In other words it’s another example of masculine systematizing over time and feminine empathizing in time – which is the first cause of human differences.

    It is usually used as technique of deception by which to undermine testifiable arguments with the pretense of magical, mystical, or privileged knowledge necessary to preserve bias from defeat by argument and evidence. In other words I have never seen an argument using essentialism as a pejorative that was not a fraud or deception.

    Cheers
