  • Simplicity is necessary in mathematics since mathematical symbols and operations

    Simplicity is necessary in mathematics since mathematical symbols and operations itself (state and operators) are necessary to allow us to remember state with sufficient precision that we can conduct comparisons between states.

    However, if we restated the foundations of mathematics operationally (constructively – analogous to gears), and we stated the foundations of mathematical deduction negatively, as geometry, we would be able to show that it is convergence between the via-positiva construction, and the via-negative deduction that leads us to truth.

    Unfortunately, man discovered (logically so) geometry prior to gears, and as such, we retain the ‘superstitious’ language of geometry (and algebra) of the superstitious era in which both were invented.

    Reality has only so many dimensions. By adding and removing dimensions from consideration we simplify the problem of describing the constant relations within it.

    Mathematics specializes in the removal of (a) scale, and (b) time, and (c) operations (and arguable (d) morality) from consideration, leaving only identity, quantity, and ratio, to which we add positional naming (numbers). We then construct general rules of arbitrary precision (scale independence) and apply those to reality wherein we must ‘hydrate’ (reconstitute) scale, time, and operations(actions).

    So just as philosophy is ‘stuck’ in non contradiction instead of increasing dimensions in order to test theories, mathematics is ‘stuck’ in non-contradiction instead of re-hydrating (restoring dimensions) to justify propositions.

    In other words, fancy words like ‘limits’ or ‘non-contradictory’ or ‘axiom of choice’ and various other terms in the field are just nonsense words that prevent the conversion of mathematics from a fictionalism into a science.

  • I’m on the side of Poincare and Brouwer (and to some degree Hilbert) that cantor

    I’m on the side of Poincare and Brouwer (and to some degree Hilbert) that cantor was influential in expanding mathematical fictionalism (platonism), and thereby preventing the reformation of mathematics ( and philosophy) that we saw in the sciences.

    This remains unfortunate, since any statement of mathematical fictionalism (platonism) can be stated scientifically (operationally) and therefore these fictions are not only unnecessary but impeded the teaching of math and to some degree pollute the other fields.

    Now, for a person trained in mathematics (measurement), this is all very difficult to understand, just as to a philosopher trained in rationalism (non-contradiction) it is very difficult to understand, just as a theologian trained in idealism it is very difficult to understand. We all make excuses for useful fictions.

    However, the consequences of useful fictions to humanity is cumulatively profound (expensive).

    In fact, I am increasingly convinced that the ‘set’ movement from the 1800’s to the present is not only unnecessary, but harmful on a scale that is unimaginable to all but a few. As Popper said there are not only sources of knowledge, but sources of ignorance, and when we had the opportunity to deflate mathematics and convert it from a philosophy to a science, we failed.

    This tragedy becomes more obvious once we realize that according to Bridgman, we might have had an Einstein a century earlier if mathematics had not be mired in platonism (fictionalism).

    In my work, I’m increasingly aware that the rise of pseudoscientific economics, our failure to develop strictly constructed law, the loss of a century in philosophy, and the expansion of pseudoscience in physics (multiple worlds), are caused by the failure of mathematics – the most basic (simple) and therefore innovative of the logics – to reform.

    Magic is still with us. The enlightenment remains unfinished.

  • it’s almost impossible for even the most dedicated of people to switch from thin

    it’s almost impossible for even the most dedicated of people to switch from thinking in terms of good, to thinking in terms of true. If you use natural law as your means of decidability, then that which is true will in fact always be a good. But only the market can decide if it is a preferred good. You can’t. No matter how hard you try. So try to determine if something is true not good. Any ‘good’ you can imagine will be subjectively decided based upon some outcome you prefer. Whereas natural law will merely ensure that we select preferences that produce goods regardless of what we imagine.

    Its all just math at this point.

  • La ley natural de los hombres soberanos

    Domesticamos a los hombres con comportamiento primitivo y animal para convivir y sacar provecho

    Los animales no tienen agencia, sólo obedecen a impulsos. Son incapaces de hacer contratos, sólo aprovechar las cosas que les son convenientes. Los animales no pueden resolver disputas y conflictos de manera honrada, sólo son capaces de inventarse excusas para su comportamiento. Los hombres actuamos con base a incentivos, si los incentivos que tenemos en nuestro entorno son capaces de reforzar conductas honorables, habremos de producir mejores hombres. Caso contrario, si los incentivos que nuestro entorno nos proporciona son negativos, los hombres sacarán lo peor de su naturaleza. Es por ello que los hombres que se comportan como bestias pueden ser castigados o sobornados para ser entrenados y domesticados. Si dicho entrenamiento fracasa, pueden ser abandonados a la intemperie, esclavizados, encarcelados, condenados al ostracismo reproductivo para que su piscina genética y estirpe se diluya y eventualmente desaparezca con unas cuantas generaciones, o incluso pueden ser asesinados. Si entrenamos a los hombres que proceden como bestias con propiedad en su totalidad, les enseñamos modales, ética, moralidad y ley, habremos creado incentivos para que los hombres produzcan lo mejor de si. Nosotros, los hombres civilizados trabajamos con nuestros semejantes: Nuestros padres, maestros, comisarios, policías, jueces, jurados, soldados, generales, constructores y reyes. El animal puede ser entrenado para ser una bestia, un esclavo, un siervo, un dependiente, un hombre liberto, un civil, un soldado, un aristócrata: Un ser humano. Entrenar a los hombres requiere sensibilidad, conciencia, razón, conocimiento y agencia. Pero cada grado de entrenamiento exige más del animal, y muchos no pueden completar ese tipo de entrenamiento y trascender de su estado bestial al humano. Y tal es el mundo que sólo hay pocos hombres y muchos animales, muchos humanos que se comportan como bestias en mayor o menor grado. Afortunadamente, muchos pueden ser domesticados. Y una vez que son domesticados, de la misma manera que domesticamos al caballo, la vaca y las ovejas, al hombre podemos ponerlo a trabajar para hacer cosas buenas, para sacarle provecho, para tener ganancias. La domesticación de los hombres es la ocupación más rentable de todas, excepto por una: El éxito de criar y entrenar a los humanos. Porque mientras un caballo, una oveja y un perro son bienes transitables, producir un hombre honrado es una industria altamente rentable. La educación fue diseñada para administrar a otros hombres, para poder gobernar territorios, parar poder crear ejércitos, producir bienes y servicios y poder tener una familia sana de manera exitosa. NO hay razón alguna para que no podamos retornar a nuestra profesión tradicional como hombres: GOBERNAR. Y no hay razón de que no podamos volver a enseñarle a los hombres a gobernar. ¿que debemos enseñar?

    1. Aptitud (fitness), cacería, deportes, juegos, guerra. – Para sobrevivir
    2. Economía, ética, Ley Natural, Contratos, Instituciones, Estrategias Grupales. – Por cuestiones de necesidad
    3. Leer, aritmética, contabilidad, matemática, programación, ingeniería, medicina, física. – Cuestiones básicas
    4. Estetica, Arte, Mitología, Literatura. – Complementarias.

    Podemos desechar la psicología, sociología, religión y estudios políticos. La restauración es sencilla. Regresar a nuestra mayor y más grande industria y producto es fácil: GOBERNAR. Y si se fracasa, cazar a las bestias humanas que quedan, es la mayor de las recompensas. Esta es la Filosofía de la Aristocracia que enseñamos en el Instituto Propietarista.

  • Struggling with Eli’s suggestion that we should (I should) be less accommodating

    Struggling with Eli’s suggestion that we should (I should) be less accommodating (kind, considerate) of those with less agency, because they will always, to some degree, be the enemy.

    My view is, that in the search for, and production of, fellow sovereigns, there is no order other than Natural Law’s markets-in-everything, that will allow us to filter (cull), breed (domesticate), train (educate), test (through markets), identify candidates (sovereigns), evolve the animals (human or otherwise), accumulate (capital in all its forms) and defeat the universe (transcend), and do so at a profit (tax, technology, competitive utility).

    I do not think that this argument is defeatable without at the same time saying we lack the ability and therefore agency to possess sovereignty, and transcend.

    So this then is my criticism of my fellows who desire aristocracy. Either we are able or unable – testably – to do such a thing.

    They have, in one century, demonstrated their folly – and the severe consequences for our civilization, our kin, our nations, our race. They have ignored that migrations cause ignorance, dark ages, civilization-cide, and genocide. And they ignore that only western civilization has dragged man out of ignorance, poverty, starvation, disease, and tyranny. And we have failed to be honest in stating that the method was through the forcible domestication of man and woman like we domesticated plants and animals before them.

    Pandora is the root of all evils. It is the violence of men to suppress her and her impulses, men and their impulses, that produces civilization and transcendence.

    We let pandora free. Time again to box her. Along with the host of lies.

    DO WHAT YOU WERE BORN TO DO

    Killing is what we evolved to do – and we are the best at it: super predators. And hunting, sport, and soldiery are poor substitutes for the heady war of warrior kinsmen. There is no higher good, no higher achievement, no greater demonstration of your self and your people, your culture and your civilization, than the defeat, decimation, deprivation, and enslavement of your enemies, and the distribution of their women, their property, and their territory. We don’t need to shrink from the opportunity to war for our kin – but REVEL in it.

    LET ME UNDER MINE YOUR HIGH MINDEDNESS IN POLITICAL ORDERS

    Social orders must adapt to the conditions in which they function. All human beings seek predictability – a steady state – and it is normal for ascendent males to seek a steady state in which to prosper. But it is also rational for those who are uncompetitive to seek a steady state in which they do not need fight in the market for survival.

    Fascism = War

    Market Fascism = Peace

    Market Liberalism = Windfalls

    If you are seeking a steady state rather than to organize society according to its competitive needs, you are not in fact, seeking markets, but to circumvent the market – the market order. You are simply trying to do so at an inter-polity scale, rather than an intra-polity scale.

    Think about that before you claim the moral high ground and say we should organize society as such and such.

    We should organize society according to the market conditions in which it operates. And to do that requires training people to NOT require a steady state in order to function.

    So far, only the Singapore and Swiss models approach this strategy.

  • Education: Returning to The Teaching of Rule

    EDUCATION: RETURNING TO RULE Our ‘Education’, back when only the aristocracy and it’s imitators could obtain an education, was not to manage, as was true in the as through the 19th century; was not to teach one to be an employee, or labor as it was in the early 20th, or a tax slave, as it become in the mid 20th through today, but to RULE over Territory, military, production, and family, successfully. There is no reason we cannot return to our traditional profession: RULE. And there is no reason we cannot return to teaching how to rule. 1) Fitness, Hunting, Sport, Games, and War? Absolutely. 2) Economics, Ethics, Natural Law, Contracts, Institutions, Group Strategy? Of necessity. 3) Reading, Arithmetic, Accounting, Mathematics, Programming, Engineering and Physics? Hmm. Only basics. 4) Aesthetics, Art, Myth, Literature, History? it can’t hurt. 5) Psychology, Sociology, Politics? It’s a waste of time – it’s false. 6) Religion, Philosophy, Pseudoscience? It can only hurt. THE RESTORATION IS SIMPLE. RETURN TO OUR MAJOR INDUSTRY AND EXPORT: RULE.
