    What? You expect, as a NEWB, to jump into Propertarianism (Natural Law) like you do into some democratic-era ideology?

    Sorry kid. Not gonna happen. It’s pretty hard.

    If you were going to take another form of advanced mathematics, take a course in advanced programming, or take an advanced course in the writing of international laws, then you might have some idea of the work it takes.

    Most people lurk for three to six months, and it seems like the very smartest people need a year, and on average two or more years.

    So when I talk about religion you have no idea what I’m talking about.

    But like every other idiot you assume because you feel passionately about religion, or politics, or morality, that you have some understanding of it.

    Nope.

    Learn something. This is the most profound advancement in thought since empiricism. We completed the Enlightenment. Just deal with it.

    Natural law = Formal Logic + operational language and grammar + changes in state of capital + deconstruction of non-formal discourse into negotiations for changes in capital.

    It’s a combination of economics + finance + accounting + programming + law.

    1 – pre-rational expressive

    2 – pre-rational sentimental

    3 – pre-rational normative

    And I humiliate Pseudo-rationalism

    4 – Rationalism in place of ratio-empiricism.

    And especially:

    Using Mems and Music as substitutes for reason.

  • As far as I know, the order is: Islam / black plague / the mongols / world commu

    As far as I know, the order is:

    Islam / black plague / the mongols / world communism / the chinese empire’s colonization and rule / western colonialism of the americas / democracy (democratic secular socialist humanism) in all its forms / christianity in its forms.

    The problem with these deaths is that both the mongols (black death), and western colonialism (a host of diseases), caused vast deaths, and were heinous, but (a) the diseases were worse than the warriors, (b) colonialism was progressive, the mongols regressive, and islam regressive and destructive, and communism regressive and destructive.

    So comparing violence, diseases, institutions, and capital, and we end up with a full accounting.

    A population can recover from War. It can recover from Plague. It can recover from the Mongols. But it cannot recover from islam.

    why?

    numbers, dysgenia, impulsivity, ignorance, impossible-institutions, low-trust.

    As far as I know, government has existed always. (See Iron Law of Oligarchy) because in the end, decision making must occur to concentrate capital and to prevent defectors, and decision makers are extremely valuable to a population.

    So whether pater-warrior, headman, chieftain, council, republic, multi-house-government …. government has always and always must, exist. The question is not whether it must exist, but the method of decidability, and the scope of those decisions.

    (When I worked on truth? Crickets. When When I work on politics, a few chirps. When I worked on morality, a small chorus. When I work on religion – omfg – a cacophony. Why? the cognitive few the pre-cognitive masses. What you intuit is meaningless. Truth and capital are measurements, not opinions.)

    RE: O’Reilly. Here is how it works.

    Happens to Rush also. Advertisers flee until it blows over. Freedom from advertiser scrutiny allows freedom to increase ratings. News cycle changes, and advertisers return to sponsorship at higher rates.

    The network, the advertisers, and those of us with IQs above room temperature know this.

    CONTROVERSY IS GOOD ADVERTISING

    I LOOK AT MEASUREMENT, NOT PROMISE.

    ***I look at very simple things: what is the method of argument being made, what is the change in behavior being advocated, what is the change in capital being advocated, what are the consequences to capital of those actions, and what are the changes l to the overall capital structure – and that is how I make my decisions.

    I the look at the enlightenment in its artistic versions in the south; its empirical versions in England; its moralistic versions in france; its rational versions in germany; its literary versions in russia, and it’s fictionalist (pseudo-scientific and pseudo-rational) versions among the jews (ashkenazi).

    Polytheism consists of hero worship that suites the needs of a diverse and wealthy polity, and monotheism the needs of a labor and poor polity.

    So if I want to save my people from lies, superstition, supernaturalism, pseudorationalism, and pseudoscience, I will expose every lie by every people, no matter how much comfort that they take in it.***

    *I am a man. I have violence in me. I have wrath in me. I just own them. They do not own me.*

    I would wish all my brothers the same. Time is but an asset that we can spend or multiply. Violence is your first wealth. With violence we construct the possibility of all other forms of wealth. But to do so, we must own our violence, and own our wrath, and employ them only when producing more wealth than we consume with the exercise of our violence, our wrath, and our heady murder.

    When we have made more time, more wealth, more numbers with our violence, our wrath, and our heady murder, we have earned our joy in spending our violence on that which produces the greatest returns.

  • Sources of Ignorance

    SOURCES OF IGNORANCE I talk of Agency of late in no small part because like Popper, I grasp that there are not only sources of knowledge, but sources of IGNORANCE. Sources of Ignorance = Barriers to Agency. The most obvious of which we face today are: (a) The failure of the 20th century thinkers to solve the problem of scale via operationalism, and the continued dependence upon idealism and fictionalism. This includes both anglo empirical and german rational schools. (b) the Jewish Pseudosciences and the French Pseudo-rationalisms, of the Second Great Lie (Marx/Boaz/Freud) and; (c) the Muslim fictionalism, Muslim heaping of undue praise upon Muhammed, Muslim doctrine of finality of Muhammed’s statements, and Muslim grant of respect prior to its being earned – meaning, the preservation of ignorance in the commons.
