    JOSLIN HITS IT OUT OF THE PARK.

    (Just want to say that no one else has made it this far, and bill is rocking it.)

    1 ———-

    PSYCHOLOGY

    Psychology – ostensive (experiential) argumentation to account for behavior.

    Incentive: seek a monopoly on perception via ostensive grammars

    Alternative: Aquisitionism where by human behaviour can be fully accounted via incentives.

    Outcome: a market for coherence via descriptive explanations of behaviour which can be tested with low or no context (declarative).

    2 ————

    POLITICAL *-OCRACY

    Any *-ocracy (democracy, oligarchy, Plutarchy, monarchy etc) are systemic moral justifications for control of nomocracy argued through imperatives.

    Incentive: to obtain a monopoly on the creation and execution of law – power over others argued via preferences for one “the good”.

    Alternative: propertarianism whereby all transactions must meet the criteria of perfect reciprocity.

    Outcome: disambiguous execution of law. A market for the creation of many “goods”.

    3 ———-

    RELIGIOUS THEOLOGY

    Religio-philosophical are sets of arguments for prefered criteria of measuring truth.

    Incentive: obtain a monopoly on truth (justify god like proclamations about reality). Unwarranted declaration.

    Alternative: Testimonialism which uses all available criteria to demonstrate due diligence in eliminating error, bias, and deception

    Outcome: a market for coherence.

    4 ———

    MONOPOLY(DECEPTION) VS MARKET(TRUTH)

    In all cases above, the former uses ostensive or imperative grammars to obtain a monopoly.

    Each alternative “deframes” arguments, converting ostensive and imperative grammars into declarative statements.

    Why? Because only the declarative has the quality of being testable.

    This results in the destruction of monopolies over perception, law (violence) and truth allowing reality to dictate decisions and actions.

  • Big Five Physical Regions (and Not)

    –“Openness/Intellect did not have any significant correlation with the volume of any brain structures. Conscientiousness was associated with increased volume in the lateral prefrontal cortex, a region involved in planning and the voluntary control of behavior. Extraversion was associated with increased volume of medial orbitofrontal cortex, a region involved in processing reward information. Agreeableness was associated with increased volume in regions that process information about the intentions and mental states of other individuals. Neuroticism was associated with increased volume of brain regions associated with threat, punishment, and negative emotions.”— DeYoung, C. G.; Hirsh, J. B.; Shane, M. S.; Papademetris, X.; Rajeevan, N.; Gray, J. R. (2010). “Testing Predictions From Personality Neuroscience: Brain Structure and the Big Five”.

    That’s true. Dialog consists of a form of cooperation. Violence consists of that which is not.
