  • We Can Judge The Gods Worthy Or Not

    As far as i know, gods, like the rest of the universe, consist entirely of information. They hold, and transfer information. And by information, we mean, influences upon individual decidability. The question is, what is the quality of the information that they transfer? And how do we measure the consequences of the information that they transfer? These various gods exist, since humans act as though they exist, even if they only exist, like all of the universe, as information. And some of these gods are ideal, some helpful, some unhelpful, and some nothing more than the embodiment of evil. The way we know, is the truth or falsehood of their information, the productivity or parasitism of their people, and the genetic, economic, informational, and aesthetic achievement of their people. Gods are measurable and decidable. We can JUDGE THE GODS WORTHY OR NOT.

    MY GOD IS THE GOD OF MY ANCESTORS

    My god is very simple. He wants the truth. Because truth gives us power over nature, to bend it to our will. And the power of truth over nature is the source of the ascent of our people by transcendence from beast, to man, to human – and eventually, if successful, to gods. Just as our Aryan(european) ancestors, the aristocratic egalitarians, opened the brotherhood of sovereign men to any who can transcend from beast, to man, to human, by his warrant of sovereignty to other men, my god seeks to create a brotherhood of gods by seeking transcendent humans to join him, and to increase his numbers, by those equally able to wield truth and sovereignty successfully. My god does not seek subjects. He seeks peers: the brotherhood of sovereign men.

  • THE DE-PROFESSIONALIZATION OF INFORMATION DISTRIBUTION Little did they know what

    THE DE-PROFESSIONALIZATION OF INFORMATION DISTRIBUTION

    Little did they know what they were doing. But by removing the duel, libel, slander, and falsehood from the common law, the state eliminated warranty (skin in the game). And by the elimination of warranty under the law, converted a moral imperative captured in common law, to a moral imperative discarded in exchange for market profits.

    It was the elimination of duel, libel, slander, and falsehood under the assumption of a naturally moral man, and the catastrophe of free speech that made possible the war against the west: judaic cosmopolitanism, puritan postmodernism, french pseudoscientific moralism, and german pseudo-rationalism.

    THAT IS THE PURPOSE OF BUREAUCRACY: DE-PROFESSIONALIZATION AND LOSS OF WARRANTY (SKIN IN THE GAME)

    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.

  • THE RESTORATION: THE SECRET OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION: PROPERTARIANISM IN A NUTSHE

    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.

  • YES, MATHEMATICS IS TAUGHT AS FICTION: “LET US TEACH EVERYONE A VERY INTERESTING

    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.

    Thus endeth the lesson.

  • THE OVERSING MISSION: ELIMINATION OF MIDDLE MANAGEMENT AND THE RESTORATION OF TR

    THE OVERSING MISSION: ELIMINATION OF MIDDLE MANAGEMENT AND THE RESTORATION OF TRIBE

    Employees choose mentors. Executives choose managers.

    The functional problem of the ‘firm’ is middle management, because all managers are subject to the Principle Agent Problem.

    The only method of eliminating the principle agent problem is to provide the information provided by management directly between owners and employees who perform useful functions.

    So just as we require a central bank for purposes of commensurability (a treasury of last resort), but we no longer require a banking and financial system (at all), we require an executive team (judges of last resort), but we no longer require middle management.

    This is, in large part, what I am attempting to achieve with Oversing: the elimination of the rent-seeking class information-transmission, managerial class, and its substitution with, and restoration of, the craftsmen (mentoring) class.

    So the fact that I am trying to build a piece of software that not only helps teams self organize through (extreme) transparency, and allows us to experience what we call a ‘flat organization’ that we almost all intuit that we want to work in. But software that replaces the entire organizational ‘operating system’ is so that we can eliminate what prevents the end of the capitalist organization and return to the ‘society’ that we humans want to live in, by eliminating the principle agent problem, the information-hiding, the rent seeking, the politicking (corruption), and the constant problem of employees (economic family) desiring mentorship but receiving management.

    All organizations die for the same reason: the accumulated managerial rents are sufficiently extractive that there are insufficient methods and resources by which to create the incentives to reorganize the organization in response to change or shocks.

    We invented the state to compensate for the limits of talent available in the noble families, when the rate of change, and the scale of operations, expanded in modernity.

    We invented the corporation, and the management team, to compensate for scale of organizations surpassing the abilities of the families that owned businesses.

    We improved the capabilities of management through vast expanses in data and information.

    What remains is to improve the information available to employees and owners, so that we solve the principle agent problem created by middle management.

    To accomplish this goal means we need a rather expansive suite of tools for the organization.

    So that is why oversing’s scope is so large. The minimum feature set necessary to accomplish the goal is non trivial.

  • MORE ON MARKET FASCISM What’s the difference between MARKET FASCISM and the Stat

    MORE ON MARKET FASCISM

    What’s the difference between MARKET FASCISM and the Status Quo?

    There are two differences:

    1) Since markets regulated by natural law are the only POSSIBLE means of preserving sovereignty, and voluntary cooperation free of parasitism, then any attempt to perpetuate an alternative is an act of attempted fraud.

    So the difference is that under Market Fascism, there is no tolerance for criticism of the sovereign market order just as no tolerance for cannibalism, murder, theft, fraud, and conspiracy. Becuase tolerance for such crimes itself a crime. You may only propose exchanges.

    You can use the court to pursue an involuntary imposition of costs that violates natural law. But you may not propose an imposition of costs that violates natural law.

    In other words, you must constrain yourself to function within the markets in word and deed.

    2) Since you must fully account for the consequences of any action, the externalities produced by your action must not privatize the commons or socialize your losses. This means that you must be more careful in profiting from the ignorance of your fellow citizen shareholders.

    In other words your opportunity to profit from arbitrage is limited.

    These are simple, but far reaching demands.
