    LITERATURE *IS* THE LITERATURE OF THE FEMININE: EXPERIENCE

    —“What would constitute a reformed literature of the feminine?”—Ben Smith

    Ordinary literature: the novel: the literature of experience. the literature of men is action.–Curt Doolittle

    ( —-“Fits with your idea that men and women should not discuss true vs false but rather possible vs not possible.”—Michael Churchill )

    MEN ACT.

    ON WORDINESS

    – Analytic Philosophy is WORDY.

    – Operational Language is WORDY.

    – Programming Algorithms is WORDY.

    – Algorithmic Natural Law is gonna be WORDY.

    Technical Languages evolve to speak precisely.

    Precise language containing technical terms is wordy.

    Why if all the other sciences require technical language, to you think that speaking scientifically – meaning TRUTHFULLY – about the the science of cooperation is not going to be wordy?

    Grow the f–k up. 😉

    It doesn’t matter to me whether he existed or not. What matters is that exhaustion of direct opportunity for cooperation is *scientifically* the optimum cooperative strategy, and that by limiting it to direct action within the society where one possesses sufficient knowledge to claim he does good without harm caused by externality, is a sufficient method of eliminating virtue spirals and free riding.

    It doesn’t matter to me whether achilles existed or not, it matters to me that the ordeal of the warrior (the necessity of tragedy) is ‘true’.

    It doesn’t matter to me that Alexander was an unpleasant fellow or that Aristotle was wrong in his physics.

    What matters is that (a) claims of wisdom and truth are not conflated, (b) claims of myth and history are not conflated (c) claims of good are in fact good and bad are in fact bad, (d) that every possible fictional statement be eliminated from every narrative including the pseudorational, pseudoscientific, and pseudomythical.

    THE EXTERNALITIES OF PHYSICAL AND NORMATIVE LIMITS

    Creating property has no negative externalities. Defending property against trespass has no negative externalities.

    It is more than clear that creating normative behavior and defending normative behavior has no negative externalities.

    It is more than clear that ‘disgust response’ and ‘purity response’ and ‘promise of maintaining a state of rational action’ evovled for good reason, and that ‘dusgusting, impure, and irrational’ behavior be limited to one’s bedroom with locked doors, closed windows, and insulation within earshot.

    the point I want to get across is *what are the social consequences of mass production of mindfulness by each means?* And the answer will be not ‘kind’ to mysticism.

    each form of government produces order with different externalities. each form of ethics produces behavior with different externalities. each form of training for mindfulness produces behavior with different externalities.

    What are the consequences of obtaining mindfulness by the different methods advocated in each civilization?

    What does that tell you?
