—“For movie audiences, the mainstream, the 99%, catastrophes aren’t something to dread; they are something to look forward to. They are a catharsis, a conceptual clearing of the deck. They are the implosion of the banking towers at the end of Fight Club, they are the destruction of the White House in Independence Day, they are the wholesale destruction of the entire global map in 2012.”–
I have a better idea: Revolution, voluntary association, and voluntary disassociation.

Now to some degree the primary purpose of a government is now insurer of last resort.
But since this insurance is incalculable it is merely a vehicle for transfers.
The privatization of commons and the socialization of losses.

http://charltonteaching.blogspot.com/2014/12/what-made-christians-different-in-roman.html?m=1AN OPPOSING VIEW – THE FORCED CHRISTIANIZATION of Rome was the GREATEST CRIME AGAINST MAN IN HISTORY.
Christianity was practiced by perhaps five percent of the population until Justinian determined that by closing are stoic schools and imposing eastern tyrannical mysticism via the state he could exert eastern dominance levels of dominance over the empire.
The forced christianization of Rome is perhaps the greatest crime in human history. It is hardly something to be respected, appreciated or cherished, any more than stuffing people into ovens is to be cherished.
We only now understand by contrasting stoicism with Buddhism that we had invented not only science, reason, logic, mathematics and with Archimedes made possible an industrial revolution, but also we had invented the most important religion ever constructed by man.
There is nothing to celebrate other than our the miracle of our achievements in spite of this terrible crime against the west and perhaps all mankind – and our eventual escape from this horror.
As Hayek said, the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries will be remembered as a new age of mysticism conducted in pseudoscientific rather than mythological terms.
Democratic secular humanism justified by Keynesian Forcible redistribution, American Anglo neo Puritanism, and cosmopolitan pseudoscience are little more than a restatement of Christian authoritarianism – for the same purpose: to conquer and control.

http://souloftheeast.org/2014/12/05/emir-kusturica-interviewI am sorry that Russians hold some of these views even if I sympathize with Russian particularism and am myself an antagonist against western suicidal universalism.
But the fact is that anyone who sough to invade Russia’s did so to civilize barbarians unsuitable for self rule.
This is also an uncomfortable truth.
Russians are still unsuitable barbarians.

–“The net is that we would all be better off if we just honestly pursued the scientific truth rather than invented universalism(error), rationalism (justification), and cosmopolitanism (pseudoscience), as pretenses in vain attempts to suggest that our means of group competition should be adopted as the universal standard, rater than that the universal standard is voluntary exchange, and that we remain, as always, competitors in commerce rather than competitors in religion and war.”–

–“As far as I know, in my work, I have … restated the Austrian position in ratio scientific terms as a economic operationalism: the extension of analysis beyond human scales of perception and as such the need to add the requirement for operational tests of existential possibility to ensure that verbal expressions reflect existentially possible phenomenon, and not imaginary content or assumptions.”–

APRIORISM VS CONSISTENT, CORRESPONDENT, AND EXISTENTIAL
–“It is not that we cannot USE aprioristically deduced concepts. It’s that they are not deductive certainties”–
Michael Phillip:
Interesting. This sounds like something Einstein said a while back about concepts
Curt Doolittle:
Yes, it was his fundamental insight: he had to eliminate the frame.
And it is why Bridgman was adamant that physics must remain experimental and science operational.
ALSO
In Math it is why Brouwer (and Poincare) and Bishop have been adamant about constructivism and intuitionism in mathematics.
ALSO
In Economics, it’s what Mises was trying but failed to do with praxeology – he was too buried in german and jewish rationalism. He confused truth and morality – which is a very german thing to do.
ALSO
And it is close to what popper (inarticulately) argues
And so it’s what I’m trying to find a way to articulate: that since we think in terms of meaning and with words, we can use very loose associations to investigate phenomenon in any discipline.
***However, once we develop a theory we must demonstrate that it is internally consistent (our words or symbols are reasonably free of error), externally correspondent (testable in reality), and operationally possible (existentially possible).***
Even then we are not sure it cannot be falsified – only that we testify that it is internally consistent, externally correspondent, and existentially possible.
