(FB 1547143486 Timestamp) THE ATHENIAN TRADITION DID NOT ACCOUNT FOR COSTS… (worth repeating) The athenian tradition did not account for costs. There are two principle reasons for it: (1) the peerage was small and wealthy with common interests – and costs were as rude then as today (2) discussion of costs immediately changes from ideals to reals thereby self selecting into class interests (3) mathematical idealism influenced greco-roman thought so heavily, giving such sophism an unearned legitimacy. (4) historically religion spoke in these ideal terms, philosophy an improvement upon them, and empiricism an improvement upon philosophy, and science an improvement upon empiricism, just as ‘Testimonialism’ is an improvement upon science. (empiricism vs science distinguished by the 20th’s implementation of operational language, and testimonialism by the completion of the scientific method). It is time for philosophy to either abandon idealism, sophism, and the ignorance of costs, or to be further demoted into the theology of ideals.

(FB 1547237450 Timestamp) John Mark Rocks. One thing: He is playing up the nationalism race issue for good reasons that appeal to the audience. Yes, propertarianism allows our people to solve this issue. However, while propertarianism advocates nationalism, it is a race-independent law. It will work for ALL people.

(FB 1547302842 Timestamp) by Bill Joslin Compatiblism – degrees of bounded freedom. It’s about accounting for the causal chain and if the actor contributes to the causal chain (opposed to a causal chain being proof of no will). We can contribute to our causal chain because we can imagine alternate states of affairs. In that imagining we affect the causal chain. So the effect of that imagining will be varied. You can imagine via nonsense or reason – post-structuralism or post-positivism, mysticism or naturalism. You can chose, but you can’t avoid the consequences of that choice, no matter how much you imagine the state of affairs to be different than it actually is.
