  • The Intellectual Catastrophe Of Specialization And The Cure For It In Education

    Outside of the top 5% in all disciplines: – Physicists are often ridiculous because either they don’t understand their own subject, or because they lack the philosophical training to know the difference between general rules of the discipline (dogma) and the epistemological necessity that these general rules provide a shortcut for. – Economists are often ridiculous because either they don’t understand the limits of mathematics, the limits of statistics, and the limits of human cognitive bias, but most importantly, the epistemology that places that their models, methods, explanatory and predictive power that seems to evade them – and is now being supplied by experimental psychology and cognitive science. – Philosophers are almost universally ridiculous becasue either they ignore what we have learned about epistemology from physics, economics, and cognitive science, or they do not understand the difference between meaning(map) and existence(territory), or because they are subject of dogmas (sets, internal consistency without external correspondence), but most importantly because they do not account for costs on the one hand and rely on a false intuitionistic definition of the good on the other. – Mathematicians are only slightly ridiculous since their field is the easiest to test, but they seem to ignore the fact that mathematics functions by removing properties from reality, but that all mathematics in application is bound by reality that it ignores. As such we see them confuse the reductio logic of mathematics with mathematical platonism. They confuse the determinism of all axiomatic declarations with mystery rather than the limits of human comprehension that mathematics assists us in extending through symbols and constant relations. They confuse the rate at which operations will produce members of a collection in any period of time, or over so many operations, with the size of the set itself which must always be bound by some limit. They confuse the name of a positional number with the name of a function upon positional numbers that produces a ratio. They seem to have lost sight of the fact that their discipline can either be treated as a science of measurement, or a logic disconnected from reality, or ideal fantasy no different from philosophical and literary adventurism.

  • CREEPY CONSPIRACY THEORY PEOPLE Totally creeped out by the conspiracy theorist c

    CREEPY CONSPIRACY THEORY PEOPLE

    Totally creeped out by the conspiracy theorist category of people out there. It’s one thing to be from the third world and talk of gods and demons. It’s another thing to be from the first world and talk about conspiracy theory, magic technology, and aliens.

    Now, I know that, just as mythology can be used as fantasy literature, and theology can be used as fantasy literature, just as history can be used as fantasy literature, just as political philosophy can be used as fantasy literature, just as rational philosophy can be used as fantasy literature, just as analytic philosophy can be used as a fantasy literature, just as mathematics can be used as a fantasy literature, we can use ghost stories, alien stories, technology stories for fantasy literature. We can create many models worlds for our minds to inhabit in order to avoid inhabiting the one our bodies do.

    Broken minds find escape in that fantasy literature. And that the combination of a broken mind, the feeling of alienation from either the personal or social experience of having a broken mind, and the consequence of Dunning-Kruger effects, produces every incentive to escape into it. Either momentarily; or frequently; or unless challenged, or despite challenges: contrary to all the evidence.

    Some of us do not fit well into a society which might nurture us. We are not likable. We lack empathy. We lack sufficient sympathy. We lack sufficient shared experiences. We are ill, or unattractive, deformed, or traumatized, or even simply poor and ignorant. So we invent reasons why society is ‘bad’. We invent reasons why we are good, if not superior to others. We invent reasons why others are bad. We find a fantasy literature which we can tolerate, and we accept it on faith because we need to.

    I understand that these people exist. What troubles me is that we have created a host of ridiculous ‘religions’ – fantasy literatures we pretend are realities through want and faith – that are non-correspondent yet non-beneficial, while at the same time we have eliminated those fantasy literatures (polytheism) which are reasonably correspondent and reasonably beneficial. A dim, devout Christian with a broken mind, is a pretty good thing.

    We can’t say that about almost any other fantasy literature religion

  • The Divine, Supernatural, Moral, And Scientific

    —“Is the universe open for free actions or divine interventions or other special divine actions? Are there reasons for the impossibility claims?”— We have not yet eliminated the possibility. We certainly cannot seem to construct any test of such things. All tests we run that would require human control of outcomes have failed – spectacularly. We cannot even find one instance. But what if only the unintended can be caused by collective imagination? In other words, if you were a divinity why would you allow access to the resource? You wouldn’t. Ever. So the reason for the claim of impossibility is not because we know it’s impossible, it’s because we want to stop charlatans, magicians, pseudoscientists, and liars from distracting us from that divine action that we can take if we are acting in full subconscious honesty (pure faith). It is becoming increasingly possible to imagine that by some very, very, very subtle method, we can cause a ‘god’ to form out of the information we possess, our memories, our speech, our actions, and even our imaginings. And that this god like all such gods, is not in control of the physical universe, but that it does influence our actions and ambitions in the same sense that a super-intelligent but non-sentient mind would. –“What is a free action? Which definitions of ‘free action’ are useful and adequate? What is a divine intervention? What other kinds of divine action are there?”— Divine intervention can be explained if and only if it is demonstrated by human behavior. Free action is necessary for the simple reason that the information necessary to make a decision in a deterministic universe, isn’t possible for a person to possess, plus given the human propensity to err bias etc, means that all choice involves quite a bit of choice. The constraint on most human action however is resources and people with whom to cooperate, more than our own desire to act. –“Which evidence is there for the existence of free actions (of a certain kind) and of divine interventions? (An evidence-based approach.)”— What we call synchronicity does not seem, in all cases, to be explicable. It may be that some of us are just better at picking up subtle physical markers by accident (subconsciously) but that we cannot do anything when trying (consciously). It may be that those of us exposed to similar information deterministically will pursue similar objectives and take similar actions producing similar intuitions, producing similar imaginary content, and sensing similar extremely subtle information. I am currently stuck on the problems we find in physical science at the very lowest level, and that we seem to be only aware of a subset of the universe that’s open to inspection by our senses. But this is a very small percentage of the energy and mass in the universe. When I combine this with the silence in space, I am troubled that we are just very primitive in our understanding of space-time and transit through it by other than EMR and crude mass. So (a) the reason we push back on mysticism and divinity is to protect against charlatanism not because we cannot eliminate the possibility of either. In other words it is a moral imperative that we do not have another era of ignorance and mysticism. (b) any existent (conscious or not) divinity would prevent us from conducting conscious experiments to take advantage of the resource he made available for us. (c) We don’t know enough to eliminate the possibility of such an information system (god). And it looks like it is possible (despite the simplicity of the universe that we do understand) that there are phenomenon that transcend the limits of the physical world as we know it – at least to the extent of providing us some information. (d) We can’t seem to find a single case despite trying (very hard) of any divine action that is not explicable by other means. (e) We can’t disprove, and it is more likely, that any information system (god) would not evidence itself in the physical world except through our actions, imaginations, or hallucinations. And that we are looking for the wrong kind of evidence (physical) rather than the only kind that would be possible (experiential). Curt Doolittle The Propertarian Institute

  • Emotions: They’re Just “Treats And Scoldings” For Being A Good Labrador Retrievers On Behalf Of Our Genes.

    All our emotions are explicable as rewards or punishments for the discovery of, pursuit of, obtaining of, hoarding of, consumption of, resources of every conceivable kind. That’s it. The universe is a simple place with simple rules of operation. Man is a simple creature with simple rules of operation. We seek to acquire, preserve, and consume, that which is to our advantage.

    It’s just that we’re pretty amazing in the scope of things we can use to our advantage. We haven’t discovered anything new to eat on this planet in 200 years. Think about that. It’s a big planet when there are just a few tens of millions of us. We haven’t found a new basic chemical reaction in quite a while. We haven’t found a basic metallurgical reaction in quite a while. We are pretty good at searching and finding. Actually, we’re scary good at it. To the point where the basic problem of scientific investigation today is just the cost of basic research given the energy requirements for many of our investigations. It’s the accumulation of logical, mechanical, and cooperative tools that we create from basic resources, that make it possible for us to envision so many new possibilities. It’s so awesome. But our emotions are just drugs: rewards and punishments for being a good labrador retriever for our genes.

  • Why Study Philosophy? There Isn’t Much There. It’s in History, Science, Economy.

    If by philosophy we refer to fantasy literature as an extension of The Novel, Fictional histories, Mythology, Detective Stories, Fantasy, and Science Fiction, then the study of the SEP is equivalent to a world-of-warcraft or Game of Thrones wiki. It’s just entertainment. It’s no different from collecting any other kind of useless thing: bottle caps, beer cans, antique toys. If we are to make a list of existential problems that remain unsolved, and we eliminate those problems that are but word games that overload our meager minds, by proposing inarticulate deceptions masquerading as meaningful problems, then we are stuck with a small number of meaningful problems, and the vast literature of philosophy is a little other than attempt to create a religion by more elaborate deception than the original versions. Now, we could on the other hand, look at the catalog of philosophical positions as the evolution of (a) correspondence with reality, and (b) deceptions that seek to avoid it. Or the evolution of (a) true propositions, and (b) false propositions. And rather than empathize with the vast catalog of bad ideas we attempted to criticize and discover the motives of those thinkers and the methods of deceit that they employed, then that might be interesting. It might also be humiliating.

    Outside of the top 5% in all disciplines:

    – Physicists are often ridiculous because either they don’t understand their own subject, or because they lack the philosophical training to know the difference between general rules of the discipline (dogma) and the epistemological necessity that these general rules provide a shortcut for.

    – Philosophers are almost universally ridiculous becasue either they ignore what we have learned about epistemology from physics, economics, and cognitive science, or they do not understand the difference between meaning(map) and existence(territory), or because they are subject of dogmas (sets, internal consistency without external correspondence), but most importantly because they do not account for costs on the one hand and rely on a false intuitionistic definition of the good on the other.

    – Mathematicians are only slightly ridiculous since their field is the easiest to test, but they seem to ignore the fact that mathematics functions by removing properties from reality, but that all mathematics in application is bound by reality that it ignores. As such we see them confuse the reductio logic of mathematics with mathematical platonism.

They seem to have lost sight of the fact that their discipline can either be treated as a science of measurement, or a logic disconnected from reality, or ideal fantasy no different from philosophical and literary adventurism. I could go on at length here with ease.

    THERE IS ONLY ONE FIELD: TRUTH (TESTIMONY)

    What differs is the instruments we require to inspect. We have invented both methods of inspection (and they’re reductio in almost all cases), and methods of measurement, and methods of decidability.

    WE INVESTIGATE:

    1 – Reason, Logic, Mathematics, (Reason)

    2 – Physics, Chemistry, Biology, (Existence)

    3 – Psychology, Sociology, Politics, History, Economy, Law (Cooperation)

    WE MEASURE

    1 – Categories, properties, and relations

    2 – Logic of comparisons and transformations

    3 – Empirical measurements of existential reality

    4 – Moral measurements of cooperation

    – WITH –

    5 – Operational language to articulate all of the above free of error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism, pseudoscience, and deceit.

    – AND –

    6 – Full Accounting, Limits, and Parsimony To protect Against Our cherry picking by error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism, pseudoscience, and deceit.

    THIS IS HOW WE MUST TEACH HUMANS IN MODERNITY

    1 – Strength, Fitness, Sport, Defense, War, Strategy

    2 – Mythology, Story, Biography, History, Essay, Diary, Criticism

    3 – Self, Friendship, Employment, Partnership, Marriage, Parenting, Managing, Commanding, Ruling

    4 – Property, Manners, Ethics, Morals, Natural Law, Evolutionary Strategies

    5 – Psychology, Sociology, Economics, Politics, Conflict(War/Crime)

    6 – Vocabulary, Grammar, Logic,Testimony(Truth), Rhetoric, Judgement

    7 – Reading, Writing, Programming, Strictly Constructed Law

    8 – Arithmetic, Accounting, Algebra, Geometry, Statistics, Calculus, (Mathematics of Mind/Cognition <–Note!)

    9 – Empiricism(observation and measurement), Physics, Chemistry, Biology, (Sentience <–Note!)

    10 – Monuments, Architecture, Arts, Decoration, Music, Plays, (the discipline of creativity: knowledge and free association.)

    This curriculum produces skills in all areas of life. If a student can make it through the first half of each, he or she will be adequately prepared for life in modernity.
