    AI FOR LAW: THE PROBLEM OF DUMBNESS IN LLMs
    Present LLM’s are worse than terrible at ordinary language logic. Questionably tepid at even simple mathematical logic. Even though they can be acceptable at programmatic logic.

    LLMs rely for their incompetence at (ignorance of) logic on the patterns embedded in ordinary language and programmatic language, using statistical derivations obtained by brute force consuming of online text – and appear to need to rely on third party APIs for mathematical logic.

    Our work in the formal operational logic of decidability and in particular legal decidability, may require we compose our work and our work in the law in particular law in programmatic form, which by its structure contains the logic, *IF* the models cannot learn to develop the logic on their own.

    Now, the grammar of our work is a bridge between formal written language and programmatic language, with the constraint from mathematical logic on equilibration (equals signs).

    We assume we can produce enough of our text to train the models such that they depend less on models and more on summarization. But I feel this is optimistic given the very structure of the algorithms that produce LLM’s – which are, for all intents and purposes, content-summarizing search engines.

    So until we see another level of emergence from LLMs, demonstrating the ability to perform logic, by converting ordinary and formal language into the equivalent of programmatic logic, then I assume we will have to both maintain our current use of operational vocabulary and grammar in formal language, and reduce such work to programmatic language. Even then it may require an external API, or an extraordinary amount of training to produce that logical capacity.

    I haven’t spent enough time on Wolfram’s software to determine if we might produce it there. But I can see the potential of an LLM converting text to code, running the code and returning the result to itself for presentation to the user.

    THE BIGGEST RED PILL.
    Feminism has not only destroyed the family, destroyed the political system, destroyed the gene pool, but destroyed two thousand years of effort trying to reverse the universal historical perception of woman as the root of all selfishness, conspiracy, and evil.

    Now it’s fixable. But it’s not easily fixed.

    Condensed Version of a Red Pill:
    1. The one thing men value most in women – loyalty – doesn’t exist in women. Women only follow their emotions. Men get complacent in relationships because they think the woman will be loyal to their sacrifice to the relationship.

    2. Women’s and men’s sexual strategies are mutually exclusive. To fulfill their own natural method of reproduction, each of the opposite sexes must abandon their own. Women cheat for emotional reasons, and cheat to leave. Men have emotionless recreational sex that women interpret as cheating.

    3. The amount of “beta” you need for a functional relationship is vastly overestimated by men. You don’t see couples going to therapy because the man is too alpha. You need only enough to entertain women with the possibility of converting you into a beta. Women like playing in their domain of manipulation and subversiveness, with words and feelings.

    4. Women enjoy trying to turn the alpha into a beta. The dangerous beast and the beauty that manages to domesticate him is the ultimate female fantasy. It’s also evolutionary the best strategy for survival. This is not a relationships thing, women keep stabbing at your frame using **** tests from the moment you meet.

    THE SCIENCE OF THE NEED FOR THE MONARCHY
    People who make statements against the monarchy are indoctrinated into a mythology of the french enlightenment, french socialists, and jewish communists, and those infected by the disease all three created. Even Americans are indoctrinated into anti-monarchy just as they are into the claims of the victorian poor. These are political myths that persist like all myths.

    EXPLANATION

    1. Monarchy differs from Kingdom in that
    (a) monarchy is approved by and legitimized by the church, and church by adherence to natural law.
    (b) Christian Monarchies are bound by, and limited by, common natural law – which is why the French tried to invent divine authority to subvert the limitations on our ancient Germanic traditions.

    2. The British Common Law and its informal constitutions do not empower the Monarchy to make legislation – that is delegated to parliament. Unfortunately, the parliament is sovereign because there is no written constitution to defend against parliament’s folly as in the USA.
    Instead, ‘The Monarchy is above the law in the restoration of the rule of law’. In other words, in the modern rule of law by the natural law, parliamentary monarchy, the monarch is the judge of last resort, able to issue judgements (commands) – that compensate for the many problems of participatory government that have cause the failure of all democratic attempts in all of history.
    In other words, the British Monarchy establishes limits that prohibit the parliament, the people, a religion, an ideology, a faction, or any other group, from the usurpation of the natural law, the common law, the concurrent legislation and the government under that natural, common, concurrent law of consent and agreement between classes and regions.

    3. The reason for the ultimate legitimacy of the natural, common, concurrent law, and the modern rule of law state invented by the English, and the ‘perfect government’ within it, is that it’s SCIENTIFIC GOVERMENT – in that the natural, common, concurrent law of self-determination by self-determined means, by reciprocal insurance of individual sovereignty in demonstrated interests, limiting all of us to reciprocity in display word and deed, limiting us to markets of voluntary cooperation, in association, cooperation, reproduction, production, commons, polities, and war, and limiting us to voluntary markets for commons in the legislatures, and limiting us to markets for the resolution of disputes in the hierarchy of courts, forcing sexes, classes, and regions, to agree BEFORE legislation can be enacted by the parliament, or new applications of law discovered by the courts.
    There is no possible better means of government for a sovereign, free, people.

    4. The Monarchy is a necessity because the monarchy has intertemporal (long-term) interests and effectively stewards the inheritance of the culture across generations, centuries, and millennia.
    And given that the English, despite their small population, not only invented the modern state, and all the benefits of modernity that have made our greatest problems obesity, self-absorption, hedonism, and overpopulation, and the continuous attempt for less developed peoples to mature into nation-states, instead of suffer under empires.

    If you do not understand what I have written here, it’s understandable since the entirety of the left’s pre-and-postwar campaign has existed to undermine both Darwin and the core of Western civilization: the production of institutions of cultural production that maximize individual responsibility in order to produce maximization of commons, that produce discounts indirectly for all, in income, consumption, innovation, adaptation, and evolution, and the expansion of choices for all – and the resulting high trust common to our people and alien to inconceivable for all others but the Japanese and Koreans.

    The problem? Many people are not capable of or willing to engage in that responsibility. Why? Because we must invest in it as heavily as the Germans to preserve it. Instead of the pretense of endless growth, in lieu of that discipline.

    Can we recreate the free, serf, and slave classes so that the responsible, the semi-responsible, and the irresponsible only bear responsibilities they are fit for and willing to bear? Sure. We call that adulthood, teenage, and children. But there is no reason that we cannot have freedom (self-directed labor, self-directed assets), serfdom (allocated labor, subsidized assets), and servitude (directed labor, and provided assets).

    Because if you look at the evidence, that’s what people seem to want. And forcing the unfit into the market where they struggle with competency is unhelpful.

    But, to do that, we would have to make that decision, and that’s a very difficult one with many consequences that would play out over time. So think about it: would you endure the opportunity to enter into serfdom or servitude if it meant you lost political participation but gained certainty of food, shelter, and medical care as long as you fulfilled the assigned duties?

    We are vastly unequal, and the more we know, the more evident it is that our abilities, whether physical, intuitions, personality, or intelligence, differ greatly, no matter how much we try to educate and train. The best we can do is sort ourselves into a Pareto Optimum distribution of competency without exceeding anyone’s competency in that distribution.

    There is no ‘right’ answer here. There is only an understanding of the causes and consequences of the choices we make.

    Music as Technological Innovation
    These bands attracted me over my lifetime, but why?
    – Zeppelin (Stadium Rock (Rock as religion))
    – Yes, Rush, Tull (The Progressive – Art Rock Movement)
    – “Individual Artists” (The indie artist movement)
    – Nirvana and (The entire Seattle Grunge movement)
    – Breaking Benjamin (The Post Grunge movement)
    – Tool and Perfect Circle (Alt Rock)

    What do they share?
    – innovation,
    – musical complexity,
    – lyrical depth,
    – influence.

    In other words … innovative complexity.

    I’m not so much interested in any band, but the drop in sophistication of music that began about the same time as the obama presidency, widespread smartphone use, social media, tipping point immigration, and feminization of entertainment and media.

    WHAT’S WRONG WITH THE UK?
    The British political and economic problem is the influence of the lower classes, which roughly works out to be ‘labor’ and those that agitate them in the talking classes. When combined with the problem of the centralization of London and the conversion of London (and Birmingham for that matter) into a cosmopolitan city-state at the expense of the rest of the population, by selling off london property and rentals to foreigners. I mean, without London the UK is as poor as America’s poorest states Alabama and Mississippi. This isn’t profit it’s capital destruction.

    This is a similar example of the american decline that’s more American Regional vs Non-American Cosmopolitan in the major immigrant cities we call Sh*thole Cities. The UK, rural Canada, and the US all face similar problems for similar reasons: our capital investment in our urban centers has been sold off to the financial sector, the political sector, and immigrants who have no interest in the continuation of the high-trust germanic civilizational polities that our ancestors created and we inherited. The globalists give the enemies of the people the pseudo-moral justification of anti-nationalism as a means of extracting these profits by not increasing prosperity but extracting and spending down physical, social, and genetic capital.

    This lower class ‘infection’ of the middle classes and politics in the UK is similar to the problem in America as the dysfunction of the dependent black culture gradually infected the underclass, working, and lower-middle-class culture in the states.

    The upper financial class ‘infection’ of the middle classes in both the USA and the UK occurred at about the same time just after 1900 as both countries created the most stable LEGAL SYSTEM using the Common Concurrent Law, and Rule of Law under it (american formal constitutional law, as science, and the supremacy of it defended by the supreme court, is superior to British informal constitutional law as tradition, and the supremacy of parliament in the absence of a supreme court. Otherwise, the monarchy-prime_minister-cabinet-multi-house parliamentary-debate-and-party system in the UK is superior. to the president, cabinet, multi-house, two-party system, SPEECH and two-party system in the States.

    Note that the British use middle-class for the american equivalent of upper-middle-class so the terms aren’t quite equivalent. The British class system is even more culturally descriptive given the obviousness of clas, while the american system more politically and economically useful because it describes one’s capacity to bear responsibility for occupation and assets, and we separate social(behavior) and economic(income) class though they remain near neighbors.

    The interesting psychological bit is this dependency culture created by the celebration of the British health care, unemployment, and credit system, under which taking advantage of each is a virtue signal – and lacks the discipline and shared conservative of the German equivalents (who frankly work harder), and neither possesses the american entrepreneurial culture which considers participation in such schemes a personal and moral failure.

    So the strength of the UK consists largely in the upper middle, lower upper, and upper classes carrying the country more so than the states, which is carried traditionally by the middle classes (and that’s why the left is at war against the middle class in the states.)

  • “Dad What’s Your Job?”– Daughters. 😉 During most of her life, and still now I’

    –“Dad What’s Your Job?”–

    Daughters. 😉
    During most of her life, and still now I’d assume as she creeps toward 40, my daughter repeatedly said “I don’t understand what you do for a living?”

    I try:
    I’m a CEO. I build companies. And then I sell them.

    (Puzzled).

    Ok. So, your mom works for a very big insurance company. She has a boss. That person has a boss. That person has a boss, and so on until there is no one left but the top boss, the CEO – and that CEO’s only sorta-boss is a board of directors: sort of like a jury, and shareholders, like an even bigger jury. (Me thinking, except in my case I have pretty much all the votes on the jury.) 😉

    (She’s still puzzled though I can’t comprehend why)

    But what do I do? I buy companies. I put them together. I make a bigger company. I figure out how make them work together better. How to get sales for them. And I train management to run them. And so we can get bigger better customers with bigger budgets, and more interesting and harder problems, and this lets us hire even better and more expensive talented people and salespeople and marketers so now we’re big and secure and much more stable than smaller companies. (And Dad makes makes money by appreciation of stock that he exchanges for money when he sells the company – but I won’t even try to explain that part.)

    (Eyes beginning to glaze over)

    What kind of companies? I’ve built different kinds of companies. Commercial Art Supplies. Legal Research firms and Consulting Companies. But during your lifetime, I’ve mostly built technology companies. And the big ones were people that design and write software mostly, build, launch, and manage websites, run marketing campaigns, place advertisements things like that. Companies and governments hire us to listen, advise, write, maintain, software, marketing, advertising, and customer relationships for them. But because most of them are very big companies we only do it for parts of the business – mostly. Because we are very good at one thing: selling complicated stuff to consumers and businesses by making it easy to work with the companies and governments. (I’m thinking: and manage wars, or assist in the transport of secret documents, and help spies – but we won’t discuss that right now as you’re a girl, and this would really bother you, and make you think dad is even stranger than you do already.)

    “OK, but I still don’t understand.”

    I wish it was simple like being a fireman, policeman, doctor, teacher, or even an accountant – but it’s not. Think of it more like there are people who fix the refrigerator, the electricity, and the plumbing in the house. Or people who the stable calls to take care of your horse, like the farrier or the veterinarian, when it’s ill. I build companies that put teams of people together to solve problems with technology instead. (Realistically it’s a lot l like plumbing, but with information instead of water, and it can leak money or information if not done properly creating a heck of a mess, and often includes a lot of the equivalent of eliminating wastewater so to speak.)

    “Ok, thanks Dad”.

    Meaning she doesn’t grasp it, and doesn’t want to, and it’s time to move on. But her mother raised her properly and she will show good manners and grace at all times. 😉

    I’ve built about a dozen companies depending upon how you count them, and bought more than a hundred I think. And, to be honest I’m not sure what I did for a living either other negotiate with people in ways that made money. 😉

    Thanks for listening to my catharsis. 😉

  • “What is the problem with [insert food here]?”– Origins: Vinegar is a preservat

    –“What is the problem with [insert food here]?”–

    Origins: Vinegar is a preservative and contains naturally occurring sulfites, as do all fermented foods and drinks, plus additional sulfites are added to increase preservation. Likewise, MSG and the 1000 other hames they hide it under(extracts etc), is produced via fermentation. So, Basically, anything subject to fermentation (creating that bite sensation) including beer, wine, hard liquor, Soy Sauce, Catsup, Mustard, Mayonnaise, Soy Sauce, Steak Sauce: and most other condiments, and anything using them, contain these chemicals (preservatives).

    So between flavorings, fermentation, and preservatives, it’s almost impossible (in the States) to avoid this stuff unless you eat very clean and prep your own food. I didn’t have this problem living in Ukraine.

    The channel: just as some people are lactose intolerant (lactose intolerance was a novel adaptation to the domestication of cows) some people are fermentation intolerant (old genes not adapted to beer). In both cases we are lacking an enzyme. In the case of sulfites it’s the enzyme that breaks down the sulfites.

    Genetics: My genetics are about evenly split between European (atlantic) hunter gatherers, Anatolian farmers, and Steppe Herders – and I didn’t get lactose tolerance (a serious problem as an infant) and didn’t get fermentation tolerance (a serious problem as an adult who couldn’t figure out why wine and beer made me feel like I was dying…lol). There is also a relationship between vitamin D deficiency, vulnerability to molds and mildews etc, allergic reaction and asthma. And the resulting over-excitement of the immune system causes secondary effects -in my case thyroid cancer (hashimoto’s disease).

    The science is out there. But separating it from the pseudoscience is rather hard, and doctors aren’t very good at it either – unfortunately. In fact, they’re absolutely useless. Even the specialists. (Who I won’t name). 😉

    THE OPTIONS FOR CONSERVATIVES ARE NARROW FOR OBVIOUS REASONS

    In the past I’ve said, ‘Conservatives have nothing to sell, only a necessity of defense”, because progressives sell irresponsibility (discount) and conservatives sell responsibility (cost), and since most people have a higher-shorter time preference, they will favor the progressive consumption now, at the cost of conservative capitalization and its benefits later.

    This is why you can’t solve the problem of ‘selling’ conservatism unless there is a catastrophic collapse from the accumulated consumption of capital instead of continued production of it. (particularly because of the distorting effects of the overproduction of elites and the overconcentration of capital through rent seeking.

    Ergo, there are two criteria for reform: either seize the opportunity of a collapse event, or create the opportunity for power assertion. The optimum is to use both simultaneously. And that looks like what is happening.

    Progressive = hyperconsumption (herd, female)
    Conservative = hypercapitalization (tribe, male)

    These are the correct terms. Because they describe the sortition of political bias into their biological (and physical) origins.

    IN EVOLUTIONARY DEVELOPMENT, BEING FIRST DOESN’T MATTER – ONLY BEING FASTEST.

    (Why is MENA so far behind since 1000ad?)
    RE: Egypt.
    But they stagnated for thousands of years, and once they encountered the sea people (Europeans), they never recovered.

    It doesn’t matter who is first. It matters only who is the fastest. Anyone can stumble on a technology, but the measure of a society, polity, or civilization is its application to evolutionary velocity – not its discovery.

    This is the least intuitive and most important evolutionary law that is most difficult to teach people today, precisely because of the many traditions we have of ‘being first’ because ‘being first’ is a contribution of innovation to the commons.

    However, the rate at which one can recursively innovate, adapt and evolve the commons determines the impact of the discovery or innovation, and who was first is largely irrelevant.

  • THE END OF MARRIAGE AND RESPONSIBILITIES TO ONE ANOTHER Men only leave for one r

    THE END OF MARRIAGE AND RESPONSIBILITIES TO ONE ANOTHER
    Men only leave for one reason because all then need is respect feeding and sex to be happy.
    Men have no responsibility or necessity of responsibility external to the want of one a woman’s company in fulfilling that need.
    Marx claimed we have responsibility to society – but we dont. We either benefit or leave.
    Women claim men have responsibility to women – we dont. We either benefit or leave.
    Relationships are a trade. They are reciprocal or not. If men leave it is not reciprocal.
    Women end 80-90% of relationships. The vast majority because they are bored. And because they can extract alimony and child support without that reciprocity to entertain themselves.
    There is an odd childish intuition common in women that men have the same dedication to women and children as do women – and its not true. Even male gorillas will protect any and all children, more so than their their females. Thats one of the driving forces toward neoteny: more neotenous females provoke a greater protection, dominance and sex instinct in males, and those females have more children. I mean a 5’3-4″ brunette is just going to have more kids than a 5’7-9″ woman. (odd, right?)
    The purpose of marriage other that interference between mates is the primary reason men kill, is to gain committment and insurance from the polity for non interferece in the marriage, and prohibition on the voluntary dissolution of the marriage to protect the polity and woman’s family from the burden of single mothers when mouths to feed was the principle risk.
    We have ended the requrement of the public and individuals to insure society agains the impulses of those in and out of the marriage. This insuance and incentive and protection doesnt exist any longer.
    Women are more economically independent than men today – at least in the white collar work force, are more adaptive to changes in workplace personnel, and fill the occupations with the least accumulation of cellular damage. So women are employable for longer work lives.
    Women claim and demonstrate they have no need of men – at least directly. That’s despite that men make it possible for them to be so indirectly. And despite that white men over 35 are the only net contributors to taxation, and despite that women consume 70% of benefits, and spend 70% of income, and accumulate most debt.
    Women can effectively engage in polyamory and hypergamic gene capture because men take indirect responsibility for women via division of labor (occupations), markets and taxation, instead of direct responsibility.
    So the “Responsibility” of either party for the other has ended, and the legal system has not yet caught up — but will do so within a decade. Lifetime alimony ended. alimony will shortly end. Common property and Child support not long after.
    In most of our history divorce meant women kept their young children, men their older, anf the responsibility for the woman returned to her father – to protect the community from the cost of her and her children. This is the direction we will naturally evolve to with marriage returning to a property of the elites.
    The pre-agrarian relationship was that bloodlines lived together around the female line of certainty of parentage with uncles and brothers and sisters and aunts all dividing labor. Human nature is serial monogamy of five to seven years max. Again that is the natural evolutionary direction.
    Marriage and monogamy are a product of the agrarian age, capital necessary for farming, marginal productivity of farming, and the need to preserve that capital in the family by inheritance over generations. And we are no longer in that age.
    The feminists set out to destroy marriage the family, and the ritual compromise between the sexes for mutual benefit in a division of labor that decreased the cost of the household for each, and ensured their later support by the shared investment in offspring.
    Women succeeded in destroying family, education, economy, goverment and even the gene pool.
    The only question of interest is why did men allow women to do so? But we know because we are repeating the fall of rome by the same means: its in the interest of men who will pander to women to organize the society through social construction of false promises that satisfy female magical thinking, gaining temporary benefit of status despite long term consequences to the civilization.
    In other words status seeking for sex.
    (sigh….)
