  • How To Prosecute Rather Than Convince

    HOW TO PROSECUTE RATHER THAN CONVINCE We have moral cause (genocide). We have moral authority (a century of lies). We have sufficient violence. We have opportunity (loss of any credibility in the honesty of our opponents.)

    So, we have means, motive and opportunity. PROSECUTION 1) Prosecute people to demonstrate that they are liars and thieves. 2) Ask why they will not trade with you instead of lie, cheat and steal. 3) Tell them that if we disagree and they force no costs upon us, our kin, and our civilization, then that is merely an agreement to disagree. If they wish to trade what we wish for what they wish then that is merely an agreement to cooperate on means, even though we seek different ends. But if they will not respect what is ours and leave us in peace, will not compromise by trade, and instead seek to impose costs upon us, our kin, and our civilizations, by proxy via the force of government, or by deceit, or by conversion, or by invasion, or by violence, then it is only rational that we will resort ourselves to violence, displacement, deportation, enslavement, and truthfulness. We are left with no choice but to prosecute enemies by punishment, expulsion, enslavement, or death. This is what I mean by prosecution. Curt Doolittle The Propertarian Institute Kiev, Ukraine.

  • Math is Taught as Fiction

    YES, MATHEMATICS IS TAUGHT AS FICTION: “LET US TEACH EVERYONE A VERY INTERESTING AND IMPORTANT LESSON VIA MR JOHN BLACK.” —“Mathematical fictionalism is more tenable than mathematical platonism.”—Melvin Davila Martinez “There are no such things as abstract objects? Prove it.” — John Black The verb ‘to-be’ = ‘exists’. (is, are, was, were, be, being, been) It is the most ‘irregular’ verb in the english language. Irregular means ‘fungible’. In other words, it is the least precise verb in the english language. It allows us to ‘cheat’, and save both thinking and words, and to claim authority rather than subjectivity, by circumventing the process of constructing the existence of the referent. Example: The cat is black = i see a cat, and the cat looks like the color black to me. The first is both a verbal shortcut, a testimony of one’s honesty, and an appeal to authority by a definitive statement, which can only POSSIBLY be a subjective statement. The same applies to the use of the word ‘number’ which is an irregular NOUN – that like the most irregular VERB ‘to be’, allows us to ‘cheat’, and save thinking and words, by circumventing the process of constructing the existence of the referent. the natural numbers refer to a set of names for quantities of anything we choose to categorize. But everything else we call a ‘number’ is, like the verb ‘to-be’ a pretense, since a number, including fractional representation using numbers, refers to the name of a quantity, whereas all other referents are the result of operations: FUNCTIONS, not numbers. So let us scientifically test this statement: “There are no such things as abstract objects.” …. which translates to …. “There [exist] no such [referents] as [non-existent] [referents]” To which the answer is: “There exist constant relations between constant relations.” which is a tautology. In other words, its meaningless. Why? Because what is a measurement? A measurement is a unitary quantity of constant relations. And what is a number? the name of a constant relation of quantities. Do constant relations exist? Yes, we call this ‘determinism’ in the scientific ( not philosophical) sense: that the universe operates by a set of constant relations we call ‘laws’ that we must only discover. If the universe did not operate by constant relations thought would be impossible, since that is the function of memory: to identify constant relations, and test inconstant relations. So do constant relations exist? Yes. We name those constant relations by the use of names that we call numbers, and functions that we reduce to the symbolic equivalent of numbers. But all that ‘exists’ are constant relations. Mathematics currently consists of a large set of verbal myths and parables by which we reduce complex sequences of consistent operations upon a unitary measure of constant relations. In other words, when we say Christianity or Aristotelianism, we give a name to a complex set of undefined operations. When we speak in much of mathematical language we do the same. Why? Because the human mind uses mathematics as a symbolic store of constant relations beyond which our perceptions are able to discern, and beyond which our short term memories are capable of holding. So we speak in the language of manipulating the symbols and begin to treat those symbols as existential rather than as names for the set of constant relations and constant operations that they refer to. ANY TESTIMONIAL STATEMENT (ANY STATEMENT IN WHICH YOU CLAIM TO CONSTRUCT A TRUTH PROPOSITION) THAT CONTAINS THE VERB TO BE, MUST BE TESTED AS A POTENTIAL ACT OF FRAUD, BECAUSE EACH SUCH STATEMENT IS A FRAUD CANDIDATE, SINCE ANY TESTIMONIAL STATEMENT CAN BE STATED WITHOUT THE VERB TO BE WITH GREATER DEFENSE AGAINST CONFLATION, SUBSTITUTION, SUGGESTION, AND DECEIT. Almost all philosophical questions that we normally find irresolvable are dependent upon the use of the verb to be to create appeal to authority through the use of confusion and incommensurability by acts of polymorphism by the use of conflation, substitution, suggestion, loading (moral distraction) and deceit (counter-factual loading). In other words MATHEMATICAL FICTIONALISM truthfully and scientifically describes the ‘story’ or ‘mythology’ of mathematics. When we speak in the names of heroes, and refer to myths and legends, and use these parables as methods of decidability in the face of a kaleidic universe, we are ‘calculating’ using symbolic referents and operations. Just as when we claim that the square root of two exists, when it cannot, since we refer to a constant relation that cannot be reduced to a constant relation without a context to provide the information supplied by context: what mathematicians call ‘limits’ or ‘decidability’ or ‘the axiom of choice’. Mathematics is to Programming, what Rationalism is to Empiricism: a smaller set of properties. Mathematics functions as a language for the expression of constant relations greater than the constant relations we can express by other means. Mathematics is spoken in terms of mythology, but computer science is not. This is what separates the imaginary and mythological, from the existential, and computable. Programming tests mathematics. Because functions exist, because operations exist. Everything else refers to some complex set of constant relations we give a name to: a function: a sequence of existentially possible operations. QUOD ERAT DEMONSTRANDUM Thus endeth the lesson. Curt Doolittle The Propertarian Institute Kiev, Ukraine

  • Class Liberties

    So, as far as I know, you are always a slave as long as you are dependent upon other people’s efforts to survive. 1 – Undomesticated animal 2 – Slave (no rights) 3 – Serf (rights to some of the proceeds of labor) 4 – Employee/Freeman (rights to property, rights to the proceeds of labor, responsibility for contribution to commons) – Rule of Law 5 – Manager ( rights to property, rights to proceeds of labor, responsibility for contribution to commons, responsibility for the organization of others in their production ) 6 – Investor (rights to property, rights to the proceeds of labor, responsibility for contribution to commons, responsibility to determine the utilization of scarce resources among various managers ) 7 – Ruler (rights to property, rights to the proceeds of labor, responsibility for contribution to commons,responsibility to create some combination of voluntary or involuntary organizations of defense, production, distribution, and trade, that make investment, management, employment, serfdom, slavery possible.

  • points: All companies that scale eventually become entrapped in (a) empirical me

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Innovator’s_DilemmaMajor points:

    All companies that scale eventually become entrapped in (a) empirical measurements of revenue to satisfy investors rather than consumers (b) all follow-on-founders forget the SME’s who drive long term revenues. (c) all companies develop an organizing mythos that is no longer true when the market they exploited matures, (c) all companies fall into the innovator’s dilemma.

    ( see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Innovator’s_Dilemma )

    IBM > DEC/WANG > MSFT > APPLE > SAMSUNG?

    In other words, the innovator’s dilemma is only one quarter of the problem that causes a failure of leadership and eventual fall.

    In Tech, thee producers think their products and services matter, when it is the elite content creators that matter. Tech HW/sw either captures elite content creators and elite content users that drive constant innovation, or they temporarily capture consumers on price.

    Apple’s ipod was just a nice status signaling method of reselling music. BestBuy’s rise to dominance was funded in large part by the accumulated inventory of movies and music. Apple’s iPhone was funded in large part by the existing hw/sw, which they enabled by the much easier touch screen that didn’t require so much memorization by users. Apple’s attempt to repeat the itunes/ipod victory with news media and print using the iPad failed, but they instead cannibalized the laptop and desktop market, plus opened the market for pure consumers who create nothing.

    Apple’s revenue is not entrenched by the network effect like IBM and ORACLE and Microsoft. And almost all their revenue comes from the iphone. The Iphone is now inferior to the Samsung except for its integration with the laptop/ipad/itunes/app store ecosystem.

    Microsoft’s hardware and Operating system are inferior to the apple operating system – and at least until this month, the macbook pro was the best machine you could buy.

    Microsoft’s Office apps are superior to Apple’s office apps, requring apple to sell microsoft office to its users.

    Oracle, IBM, and Open Source platforms are superior to microsoft’s Developer and Platform Stacks.

    So you see, everyone has malinvested. And the industry is RIPE for a catastrophic change.

    I’ve been writing for years that the best opportunity for all CONSUMERS is for apple to pivot to the microsoft office user space when the iphone sales decline, as their only known option to prevent stock price collapse.

    Apple lacks the culture and management to do this, not the market opportunity.

    Samsung is unfortunately Asian at its heart and they cannot produce quality software.

    Google has already tried the pivot and failed for reasons I could go into later, but it’s that their dominant cultural mythos is false.

  • The Restoration: The Secret Of Western Civilization: Propertarianism In A Nutshell

    (propertarianism core) We can restore the west’s evolutionary trajectory as the principle source of mankind’s innovation, restore our people and our civilization, and overthrow a century and a half of pseudoscience, by restoring to the common law the organizing principle of sovereignty – and consequential markets in everything, with just one law: truthful speech by the involuntary warranty of due diligence against error, bias, suggestion, obscurantism, pseudoscience and deceit, for the purpose of circumventing a voluntary, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary exchange, limited to productive externalities, by the imposition of costs against property in toto: that broad spectrum of things, relationships, behaviors, and commons, which we have borne costs to inventory, without imposing costs upon the things, behaviors, and commons of others. This warranty is achieved by proofs (demonstrations) of consistency in 1) categorical consistency, 2) internal consistency, 3) empirical consistency, 4) existential consistency, 5) moral consistency, 6) scope consistency. And while it might take a small effort to learn how to provide these warranties on all information, just as we have learned to provide warranties on products, warranties on services, and limited warranties on the reporting of basic research, we can complete the scientific method and require these proofs on all information. In every era we invent new expansions of the method of cooperation we call the division of perception, cognition, knowledge, labor, and advocacy. But in doing so we create greater asymmetries of knowledge, and therefore new opportunities to invent means of benefitting from the imposition of costs upon others that we call ‘parasitism’. And we rely upon courts, testimony, jury, judge, empirical truth, and the accumulated empirical knowledge of the common law of torts, to incrementally suppress and render illegal each innovation in parasitism as soon as the first case adjudicated is recorded for reference by other lawyers, prosecutors, and judges. The west was not first, nor wealthiest, nor possessed of greater numbers, superior resources, superior climate. But instead, by accident of circumstance, chose Sovereignty as their principle of organization – a choice which is possible only under empirical, testimonial speech we call ‘truth’, and a market for the resolution of any negotiation, exchange, or conflict – depriving all of authority over anything other than the preservation of sovereignty. Europeans created the distributed dictatorship of sovereign men, open to any man willing and able to reciprocally insure every other against violations of his sovereignty. This choice resulted in a civilization that calculates advancements faster than all other organizing models, and produces the least opportunity for parasitism and rents. And it is this velocity in the ancient and modern worlds that has allowed the west to defeat the red queen of corruption, and drag mankind kicking and screaming out of ignorance, superstition, mysticism, justificationism, conflationism, deception, hunger, poverty, physical labor, cellular decay, disease, and increasingly, the vicissitudes of nature, in an unforgiving universe hostile to life in all but the rarest of exceptions.

  • Why Don’t We Have Some Form Of Communism?

    The problem is quite simple. It’s just unpleasant. But the universe is not kind. It has no mercy. And science tells us uncomfortable truths. if you cannot find a means of survival in the market, and others can do so but at lower prices, humanity does not need you. If humanity does not need you then your only choice is to find a means to make your nation, region, tribe, kin, or family need you. The problem with any MONOPOLY order (Fascist, Libertarian, Socialist), and the problem we created in the enlightenment promise that all people could join the middle upper middle, or aristocratic classes, if we expanded either the authoritarian, market, or socialist forms of economy. Instead, we need economies for each of the major classes, because we need to organize each of those classes differently. So monopolies, even monopoly democracy (majoritarianism) turns out to be the problem rather than the solution to the differences in the productivity of the estates of the realm (martial-order, burger-managemnet, craftsman-producer). There exist only three possible axes of coercion: – Violence:Law, – Bribery: Markets and Insurance – Fraud: Religion, Propaganda, and Deceit There exist only three axes of cooperation: – Parasitism:Takings, – Exchange:Markets, – Avoidance:Boycott There exist only three rational axes: – Predation when possible (immorality), – Exchange when Possible (morality); – Avoidance when possible (amorality). There exist only three methods of negotiation on cooperation. – Truth(science), Truthfulness, Honesty – Falsehood: Error, Bias, wishful thinking, suggestion/framing/loading, overloading/pseudoscience/pseudorationalism/propaganda, and deceit. – Silence. There exist only three axes of Organization – Predation(parasitism, – Exchange(production), – Separation (resistance) There exist only three possible axes of decidability for cooperative organizations: – Deliberate Selection via Authoritarianism (Fascism) – Pragmatic Eugenic Meritocracy (Markets) – Dysgenic Malthusian Equalitarianism (Socialism) The earth tells us a very clear, very obvious, very loud message: there are too many of us. Humans are not precious or special or valuable or intrinsically good. We are rational super predators organized by the application of violence and law, market and productivity, and norm and family.
