    HIS NEXT VIDEO, AND REACHING THE MASSES

    by John Mark

    The next video I will release on YouTube is a compilation of excerpts from interviews I’ve done. In reading what Curt wrote here, I realize that the excerpts I’ve chosen cover many/most of the concepts Curt covers in this post, in a format where I explain a basic concept, the interviewer asks questions around it, and I answer to paint the picture more thoroughly & clearly.

    I’d estimate that any high schooler of IQ 100 or above (maybe even 90) with a basic knowledge of how our govt works (say, a homeschooled student), can understand the great majority of the points.

    The difference is, these interview excerpts total 2 hrs in length. I read thru Curt’s very dense post in probably 2 or 3 mins. I can do that cuz I’ve been following him for 2-3 yrs & I know what all of it means. The avg person new to the material, however, really needs 2 hrs just to grasp the basic points.

    My point is, as Curt said, it’s not so much IQ that prevents learning these things (though that does matter somewhat especially at the lower end of the bell curve), it’s more that people have been taught wrong and have not been taught at all.

    2 hrs of listening to my next video will help people understand more about how the world & politics works than a 4-yr degree in polisci at some prestigious university. Simply because it’s accurate info (not false), it contains very important non-PC info (suppressed), and it’s complete enough to give a good picture of “this is the problem of politics & this is the solution”.

    The great news is the avg right-wing-instinct & even centrist person (anyone with any intellectual honesty) can be taught these things. (In other words, don’t be tricked by a beautifully dense Curtpost into thinking these concepts are “too hard to understand”.)

  • On Intelligent Design: I Support Truthful Speech

    —“Are you saying you support darwanism over Christianity or intelligent design?”—Mark E. Haney

    1 – I cannot falsify evolution, and every single evidence from the fundamental structure of the universe to the imagination of man is a product of a very small number of possibilities in very great permutation, just as limited numbers of sounds, characters, and numbers can be arranged in infinitely complex permutations. 2 – The five rules of christianity are,logically, rationally(incentives), scientifically(empirically) the optimum prisoner’s dilemma (trust building) strategy, and I cannot falsify either or their relation. There is a reason christians are wealthier than competing cults. 3 – Information can only be stored in some memory or other, information stored must be abstracted (generalized) in order to consume less calories and volume that the original matter and its changes in state over time. I cannot falsify that statement – it’s a physical and logical impossibility. As to what I ‘Support’: I support truthful speech. Truthful speech can only consist of what I can testify to. I can only testify to that which is: … – categorically consistent … – logically consistent … – empirically(observably) consistent … – operationally consistent … – rationally consistent … – reciprocally consistent where it is: … – parsimonious … – scope consistent … – and fully accounted … – within stated limits and where … – due diligence has been demonstrated, and where … – one’s statements are warrantied by restitution if one errs. I cannot testify to anything other than. 1. Realism, 2. Naturalism, 3. Operationalism Christianity survives under natural law as does all literature under natural law, in that the parables advocate natural law, despite being stated in language and grammar of myth, instead of the language and grammar of Testimony (law). Deliver faith and obedience to any gods compatible with natural law. Deliver Truth, Duty, and Reciprocity to mankind because Truth, Duty, and Reciprocity ARE the natural law.

    —“The point is, you don’t have to believe in anything supernatural to understand why natural law works. In fact, it hinders you. But as long as we both believe in the natural law, regardless of where it comes from, we can still be allies. I have to have faith in that law to deliver but that’s all. You believe whatever you want but in reality, evolution is the most intelligent design possible.”—Martin Štěpán

    I wonder if the difference in the conservative mind is just that: a combination of amygdalic and hippocampal production of attention to longer term generalizations, versus the more experiential sorter term.

    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.
