    BOOTS ON THE GROUND LIBERTARIANS

    —“There are millions of pragmatic boots-on-the-ground libertarians. Anyone who votes conservative, and would do defense as, “speak softly carry big stick,” doesn’t care if men marry men, multiple women, or budget for whores – is a Libertarian. And every one of them would limit the power of Democracy, and would defend his own property with limitless violence.

    “NAPpers” are academic weirdos – the priests who are nice enough, and who we get along with – but they are determined to prove to everyone that there is a god. The thing is, whether they prove that there is a god or not, doesn’t determine whether or not we will continue to enforce our preferences (Libertarian Hegemony) within reality.”—

    Eli Harman: “An evolutionary didactic method: teach morality by returning imposed costs to their imposers. But this method works slowly”.

    –“Punishing the wicked forces them to act a bit more morally. But you cannot teach them to desire higher morality without punishing lower morality. And if you punish them for immorality they will reject you moral teachings. So the only solution is to punish them until they learn their own higher morality (or die).”—

    Brilliant ***

    –“It’s true, actually science is Dennett’s “universal acid” that will dissolve everything we hold dear except life itself. In this sense, conservatives are more correct than liberals, since the former correctly believe that evolution contradicts everything they believe.

    The liberals, whose beliefs are more ambiguously related to science, refuse to accept the smaller adjustments necessary to accommodate science, even though so many more of them do accept the “modern scienctific worldview”.”– Adam Voight

    http://slnm.us/LmMp0pwThis is an excellent example of low cost progressive lying and the high cost to refute it.

    I can refute it but the cost is too high.

    This is why the commons must be defensible in court so that we raise the cost of lying.

    Conservative are largely right and progressives are largely wrong. And libertarians are partly wrong.

    But our languages are opposite to our beliefs.

    It’s humorously ironic if you can get past that it’s tragic.

    http://slnm.us/utYJFGPYeah… What she means is that she’s insulted.

    I agree. I am against appropriation. How about other cultures stop appropriating rule of law, contract, truth telling, outbreeding, medicine, science, technology, art and knowledge.

    It’s insulting to me that primitive people imitate our central values.

    RATIONALISM: THE LANGUAGE OF LIARS?

    (from elsewhere)

    —“The data suggests that the only reason to rely upon rationalism is to lie. That is because most liars rely upon rationalism. The reason scientists rely upon the truth telling method (more accurately as empiricism, instrumentalism, operationalism, and testimonial truth), is because it is harder to err, bias and lie. So if any given argument can be conducted both in the language of liars, and in in the language of truth tellers, then why would one defend use of the language of liars? Why would anyone rely upon rationalism except to lie?”—
