    Thanks to the success of the Marxists and Critical Theorists in the occupation and conquest of the academy, Academic discourse in philosophy, politics, economics, what passes for ‘social science’, using books, journals, papers, blogs, and classrooms appears at least in retrospect as indifferent from seeking the approval of the church fathers prior to publication. There isn’t any difference between offense of the pretenses of the church, and offence of the pretense of the marxists, feminists, and snowflakes. They are both hostile to truth.

    One of the first sketches I drew, back in… maybe 97, was population on Y axis and Time on the X axis and the change in the meaning of terms as we moved through time and population.

    I used some tape and stuck it on the wall behind my chair. 🙂

    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.

  • Or we can just simplify Taleb and say that we evolved to identify opportunities

    Or we can just simplify Taleb and say that we evolved to identify opportunities using very little available information, but it takes an absurd – meaning voluminous and expensive – amount of information before we know enough to determine whether the effect of an outlier cancels out all the possible opportunity that can result from our identification of opportunity using little information. Or to put Taleb’s rule of thumb to it: canceling outliers require logarithmic increases in information before we have any idea of the consequences. Ergo, it is better to be against people act opportunistically in the short term under the assumption of the stability of a long term.

    FWIW mainstream econ dropped the rational actor hypothesis decades ago. For the simple reason we lack the information to act rationally, so we act intuitively, and that means MORALLY.

    It’s not posturing. It’s a warning

    “We don’t really know who did what but we see evidence of the gas, and that shit can’t happen. So let’s just make clear – in a non-deadly way this time – that this shit isn’t happenin’ on our watch. There was too much pussy under Obama, and shit got outta hand. So the grownups are back in charge. And you fuckers do not want us to get serious with you.”

    That’s not posturing. That’s communication in the language of the audience.
