  • We Do Have a Name for It: Disambiguation

    Jan 31, 2020, 6:12 PM by Bill Joslin

    —“I think one of the aspects of mental existence we have no name for yet …”—CurtD

    But we do have a name for it: its called disambiguation. And as far as I understand the fundamental process of the brain exists as a neuronal competition for caloric reward granted by disambiguation of sensory data which affords further acquisition of calories (to reduce it to a base level). Disambiguation – as far as I’m concerned – is the term. The issue with human suffering – or more aptly, human objectivity – pertains to the difficulty entailed in disambiguating jntentionality of our predictive faculty whereby past predictions (intentionally held to maintain POV) of this moment becomes superimposed upon sensory faculty – and thus results in an ambiguity (an ambiguation) which that reaps caloric rewards. The tough nut being disambiguating the array of self generated models (predictions) which persist due to higher predicted rewards (preference) from models that survive pattern matching to updated inputs. But its kind of simple – the former requires effort and is often accompanied by excitation or tension. the later provides relief because once the model matches the input, the caloric cost of the model comes to and end – no more effort required. it takes effort to be incorrect. coming into correction is like coming to rest. truth is the reprieve that escapist desire.

    —“Leftist/Continental Philosophy rejects cause, because it rejects time. That’s the poison pill at the heart of Kant. Curt points it out, but doesn’t dwell on the depth of that treachery.”—Andrew M Gilmour

  • What It Says Right There in Text…

    —“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the “consent” of the governed, –That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, ….”—

    So what it says here is our rights don’t come from government or from words on paper. Let’s be real here the only reason that we actually create government is to protect the rights of the people. So, what are inalienable rights? Among the natural rights of the people, are life, liberty, and property together with the right to protect and defend them with the best possible means possible. So if you don’t have the right to life you’re dead, if you don’t have liberty in your servant of the government you created, if you don’t have a right to property and that you don’t have a right to life and your subject to whoever owns the property, if you don’t have a right to defend these things than you are slave you are not a free man, if you have to ask permission of the government protect my life my and my property then you are not a free man, inalienable rights are not subject to laws of man especially when we gave them the ability to govern based on the consent of the people.

  • An Articulate Progressive so An Opportunity for Articulate Comparisons

    Feb 2, 2020, 8:24 AM

    —“Progresiveness errs on the side of openness in face of the uncertainty. Conservativeness errs on the side of “known good or reasonable” arrangements. … None are in principle superior in all cases. … We must use a third axis, rationality, to bridge our differences constructively.”—@flancian

    Progressives (consumptives) err on the side of consumption in the face of uncertainty. Conservatives(capitalizers) err on the side of saving in the face of uncertainty. The female consumptive herd (her children) the male capitalizing pack (their tribe). We must use TRADE to bridge our differences. (Are you starting to see yet?) I’m using male concrete (scientific) terms. You’re using female seductive (deceptive) terms. Once you see it you can’t un-see it. The question is adaptation possible? No. Hence institutions of trade.
