  • Mathematicians Can Be Stupid, Too

    —“More evidence that mathematicians can be stupid, too”–Claire Lehmann @clairlemon ….”(Renowned Yale Computer Science Prof Leaves Darwinism | The Stream David Gelernter recently published an essay in the Claremont Review of Books explaining why he no longer believes Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution.)”…

    Curt Replies: There is a great deal of woo woo in Mathematics – mathematical platonism, mathematical idealism, cantorian multiple infinities, many worlds, proof being positiva rather than negativa, the terms, labels, and symbolism all create nonsense. Mathematics is the most simple of the logics, the logic of positional names. The greeks did everything with geometry. There is a good reason. Measurements (real) vs Language (ideal). And we’re stuck with the consequences of treating math as a language – where nonsense can be said. I write about this subject quite a bit because there are two origins to pervasive sophism in western civilization, regardless of field: mathematical idealism, and scriptural interpretation. Both of which stem from the same error. There is a moronic bit of innumeracy going around ‘intelligent design’ circles right now and he’s bit apparently taken the bait. The answer to their query is: evolutionary progress includes loss of intermediary information: it’s hard to reverse engineer cellular evolution.

  • Everyone But Us

    EVERYONE BUT US by @BlackSheepBrouhaha

    —“Curt Doolittle is doing better work than Libertarians or Nazis making a coherent ideology which takes this into account. Property is something you defend with your life. If you share that responsibility with others, that’s common property. If you share it with everyone, that’s a nation. It is the frontier which people defend from outsiders. We’ve lost the militia instinct. We own nothing we wouldn’t fight for. We fight for nothing, we own nothing. We surrendered sovereignty to the state and the state betrayed us. Our countrymen betrayed us when they abdicated their duty to defense. Freedom to some means socialization of the common property. They’ve given away what they swore to defend in exchange for tacos and Medicare. It’s like the natives who sold America for a measly price. Violence is an imposed price. A price floor. You cannot sell out this country without paying the cost yourself. You’ve got to buy us out and our price is the blood of bond you swore to defend our nation. That’s what a nation means. That’s what a family means. That’s what a race means. That’s life, and its what every other race is doing but whites.”—

  • Humans Swim in a Sea of Testimony

    TESTIMONYby Bill Joslin [H]umans swim in a sea of testimony. Any information we gather beyond local and immediate scale has been gained through the testimony of others. Because this is akin to the air we breathe we often overlook the drastic impact that testimony plays in nearly all of our decisions, choices, and actions. If given a truly sincere analysis in this vein, the very foundations of our personal realities may be shaken to a degree that I can only describe as akin to the fear of death. Coupling this realization with the fraud that our memories often play on us (memory just being self-testimony), the importance of operationalism (in thought and deed) and self-authoring based upon operationalism becomes paramount and weighed second only to our instinct to survive (because information remains a critical component to our ability to survive) …which is why testimonialism receives such resistance… it cuts through the denial of our ignorance which we like to cover with a venier of certainty. …oh how deeply we rely upon our trust in others and oh how we like to hide this fact from ourselves…

  • Unite The Right

    SUPERNATURAL, MORAL, RATIONAL, SCIENTIFIC

    —“Unite the right by natural law. We don’t have to agree on where the law comes from, just on what it is.”—Martin Štěpán

    The result is the same, only the why differs.

  • Anything other than RECIPROCITY isn’t internally consistent

    VALUE JUDGEMENTS ARE OPINIONSby Alain DwightSeptember 21 at 8:34 PM [T]o a large extent terms like good and evil or ethical and unethical are opinions. The catch is that if morality and ethics is defined by anything other than RECIPROCITY it is no longer internally consistent (no high trust commons, no agency, no forwarding your claimed values). That’s the beauty of reciprocity though, it packs all that punch and then more because it lets the speaker point out the relevant operation and leave out the moral judgements. Moralizing and justifying is begging people to agree, it’s really weak. People get the implications of reciprocity on their own without all the bs loading, anyway.

  • Is The Right Too Apathetic To Fight?

    by John MarkSeptember 25 at 1:58 PMSome Say “the Fact that The Right Hasn’t Already Started a Physical Fight Means They Are Too Apathetic to Ever Fight”(false – Changing Circumstances Change the Risk/reward Equation) [T]he grassroots Right (individuals, families) has had somewhere to run. To the suburbs, to a red state. And hope of “maybe we can win the next election”. It makes no sense to be a martyr that accomplishes nothing when those options are available as they have been. But when there is nowhere else to run and no hope of winning elections, the risk/reward calculation changes dramatically. Faced with eternal Leftist rule in America and nowhere to run, and knowing the inevitable outcome if they don’t fight, a critical mass of the grassroots Right will fight/secede/separate. And it doesn’t take huge numbers or require normies or normiecons to act. A small percentage of the already-enraged right-wingers can bring America to its knees easily.
