    —“Is it possible that you have too high a standard for what qualifies as human?”– Joel Harvey

    [W]ell, that begs the question standard for what purpose? 1 – For cooperating commercially (trade on means) – yes. 2 – For socializing (exchanging information – on ends) – no. 3 – For political organization (cooperating on ends and means) – absolutely not. One does not let wild animals, domesticated animals, domesticated pets, children, or insufficiently domesticated and trained humans to influence that which they lack the agency to decide without harm to others.

    WHO IS AND ISN’T HUMAN?

    —“Curt, Who isn’t currently human?”—Joel Harvey

    Is the line of demarcation between human and animal:

    1) Morphology?

    2) Sentience? (Reaction to stimuli)

    3) Awareness? (Sympathy-intent/Empathy-experience/Imitation-action)

    4) Speech?

    5) Reason? (Agency)

    As far as I know, it is reason and agency which separates us from the animals.

    That means very few of us are yet human. The rest are in different stages of domesticated animal.

    And I suspect that number (percentage) corresponds to the pareto minimum.

    Yes, really.

    Our process of self domestication is far from complete. It is merely sufficient for west and to a lesser degree, east, to drag mankind out of ignorance, superstition, hard labor, filth, poverty, starvation, disease, plagues, suffering, child mortality, early death, continuous violence, and the vicissitudes of nature.

    |HUMAN| The gods we aspire to be < Trained Humans < untrained humans < trained animals < untrained animals < untrainable animals.

    We domesticated plants, those animals we could domesticate, and those humans we could domesticate.

    We just left the job unfinished.

  • Is Finnish Educational Superiority Due to More Truth?

    October 24th, 2018 8:54 PM IS FINNISH EDUCATIONAL SUPERIORITY DUE TO MORE TRUTH?

    —“The U.S. and Finland both lean heavily towards the truth and directness, but what constitutes truth and directness varies greatly across cultures. Whereas Americans are comfortable taking liberty with the truth when it comes to marketing, selling and getting the business, to a Finn it can sound like lies. You see, the Finns believe that their words are their commitments. They establish their credibility by understating their abilities, and delivering what they promise. Period. As Stuart’s examples illustrate, it is easy for people with the best of intentions to still be misunderstood — and even branded as liars. When we don’t know a person’s beliefs, values and biases, how can we be certain that what we heard was what they meant? However, one thing is certain; the more we understand how culture influences behavior in business dealings, the less inclined we are to assume we’re being deceived.”—

  • So, Why Study Philosophy

    October 25th, 2018 6:24 PM SO, WHY STUDY PHILOSOPHY OTHER THAN FRAUD OF SELF AND OTHERS?

    —“So are you saying that rigorously interpreting a text is by definition pilpul and therefore bad? How do you read philosophy then?”— postmodernist.

    (a) Is that what I am saying? And (b) Why would anyone read either theology or philosophy in the age of math, logic, sciences, economics, law, history, and literature – each of which is less vulnerable to fraud and confirmation bias, than sophism (philosophy) and magic(theology)? (c) because the only reason to do so is to justify perpetuate a fraud, commit a falsehood, justify a bias, or admit one’s incompetence at developing sufficient mindfulness (agency) to leave fantasy fiction literature behind. (d) the reason to write philosophy and theology is precisely to avoid math, logic, science, economics, law, biography, and history. … (e) There is no other reason to do so – which is why Abrahamic Theology, Platonic(literary) philosophy, their conflation in the medieval era, and continental reconstruction after anglo empirical falsification of it, was constructed.

    So, Question: Why, rather than continue to tolerate your genocide against us, destruction of our civilization, and reversal of 3500 years of civilization that dragged mankind out of ignorance, poverty, starvation and disease shouldn’t we just choose to return to autocratic rule?

  • Q: How Can I Learn About Propertarianism or Natural Law?

    October 22nd, 2018 11:44 AM Q: HOW CAN I LEARN ABOUT PROPERTARIANISM OR NATURAL LAW?

    —“I’m interested in learning about your stance on propertarianism. So, how do you define the natural law? It’s something I’ve been searching and curious about for some time. And how does Propertarianism relate to this? In fact, I’m curious about the whole thing to be honest”— A Friend
