(FB 1546804687 Timestamp) GOALS IN ACCORDANCE WITH OUR AGENCY AS WELL AS NATURE. I prefer we target the virtue spectrum from stoicism (little agency), to epicureanism (personal agency, to aristocracy (political agency) rather than a universal. The technique serves the mind no matter what virtues we seek to give it, but that does not mean ‘monotheism’ so to speak in that we must all seek the same. We each have different agency. We require goals that provide mindfulness in accordance with our agency.

One genius can REVOLUTIONIZE the world, a million smart people can and do change it constantly. Even such, lone geniuses are almost non-existent, since it appears to take three generations to cook a genius in a field, and we tend to memorialize the first when it’s usually two or three that result from that cooking.

(FB 1546790065 Timestamp) DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN ITALIAN IQ —“30% southern admixture in Piemonte lowered the IQ by 2.2 points. Thus the genotypic difference between Northern and Southern Italy is 2.2/0.3= 7.33 IQ points.”— A lot of this was literacy. This is the reason for china vs india. Literacy = programming. ITALY VS INDIA (SIMILAR STORIES) Truthful testimony, literacy, hard science, and hard social science (tort law) eliminate error.

(FB 1546869191 Timestamp) NATURAL LAW ON RELIGION You can do what you want in your head, but you cannot do what you want in the commons. Under natural law we would close all temples and mosques, prohibit their literature, prohibit their evangelism, and prohibit all religious display (separatism). Under natural law we would restore the church by empowering churches (dramatically) in exchange for reform, and only those churches with reform, and those that reformed would take up new generations and those that not, end with the old.

(FB 1546872950 Timestamp) A NOTE ON PROGRAMMING AND PARADIGMS 1) There are diminishing returns on extension of paradigms 2) At some point overextension of paradigms produces errors 3) These overextensions (exhaustions of opportunity) lead to innovations (generally increasing precision of the paradigm or falsifying it by recombination.) OOP was particularly useful in the creation of reusable code in the era before so many libraries and so much open source. Many of our most popular languages today are actually script languages written over huge functional libraries. I prefer OOP because i feel I can structure readable and maintainable programs. My view (which is traditional) is that just as we have layers of the brain, we have layers of the computer. The base to interface with the hardware. the second to transfer hardware information into commensurable symbols, and the third to manipulate those commensurable symbols to achieve goals. This makes it possible for vendors to produce slightly different hardware and different operating systems run on that hardware. Just as our brains allow us to function in different groups, in different environments, with different languages.

You can fight the intellectual war (positiva) You can fight the poisoning the well war (ridicule) (negativa) You can fight the political war (positiva) You can fight the physical war (positiva) You can fight the reproductive war (positiva) We all fight at the limits of our ability. What matters is that we fight. What matters most, is that we fight physically when the opportunity arises.
