    —“Invention of mass media led to explosion of sophism. Add in social media so you can see what everybody is thinking, and it becomes clear – most people are just operating on instinct. Even most right-wingers. (What Haidt points out is readily observable. People cherry-pick data according to the narrative their instinct causes them to embrace.) It just so happens that the right-wing instinct builds civilization and the left instinct destroys it. Point is, this modern explosion of sophism (leftists overloading the discourse via mass media) hasn’t actually changed the underlying dynamic, which is the same as in the previous battles between the two instincts.”— —John Mark

    —“Incentive matters, and so does signalling.”—

    by William L. Benge

    Pompei fled to regroup, and to afterward take over by conquest the empire we know as Rome. When the internal war was settled, those hardened on Pompei’s side were made examples of… it was a first when the decision on the field was to raise them on pikes all along the route back to Rome. This became an adopted standard for execution.

    Any action beyond permissive by an authority is deemed harsh by a criminal.

    Crime requires disincentives be in place. Incentive matters, and so does signalling.

    COLLAPSE: A SYNCHRONICITY OF ACCUMULATED BUBBLES

    by Martin Štěpán

    I understand the cycle of civilizations is that the decadence/decline phase is characterized by inflating various bubbles such as misandry bubble (feminism), underclass bubble (subsidy of the reproduction of the unemployed), immigration bubble and so on and due to their interconnectedness, they all pop at the same time which is when civilization ends.

    This could be avoided if we manage to pay the costs upfront (such as letting the unemployed die out and giving up potential economic benefits of immigration).

  • Talmudism: Pilpul (Sophism) In Law

    by Steven Jackson Talmudism is a method of exploiting the human error in the letter of the law to escape the spirit of the law. As law is a part of culture, within a homogeneous society peers can be relied upon to judge each other with regards to social norms. Hence the success of the Anglo jury of peers system. Laws do not need to be codified under such a system as the jury judges how reasonable the plaintiff’s actions were by comparing them to what their own would be given the circumstances. Talmudism is the codification of law and a strict adherence to exactly how it is written or how the bureaucracy is performed. This allows individuals to escape justice through loopholes and human error. This codification is only necessary when society is composed of various cultures. Within cultures there are different classes. So maybe underclass is the wrong and outgroup is the right word. Talmudism begins when several cultures interact in a single society and laws have to be codified to accommodate cultural differences. The abuse of the codification arises when pilpul is used to argue the letter of the law against the spirit of the law to escape justice. Law does not lead to talmudism, disregard for the host culture does
