  • A friend just turned me onto some work about the talmud as polylogical/polyethic

    A friend just turned me onto some work about the talmud as polylogical/polyethical meaning keeping “Two Sets Of Books”.

    I’ll try to read through it quickly. My concern is again not to criticize successful tactics, but to understand how to defeat this amazing technique that worked in both religious and pseudoscientific eras.

    I have it down. But the more I understand, the better I will get at it.

    We can demand due diligence of truthfulness by demand for warranty of due diligence:

    1) Identity

    2) Internal Consistency

    3) External Correspondence

    4) Existential Possibility

    5) Morality

    6) Full Accounting

    7) Parsimony

    These seven tests (so far) make it extremely difficult to lie. Almost impossible.

    (To my friends in Ghana and from other parts of Africa.)

    Thank you for sharing your journey with me. I learn from you every day. And what I learn humbles me. You have beautiful souls. You have more honor and dignity than most of the privileged people that I hear from. You are an inspiration. Love to all of you.

    Curt

  • FULL ACCOUNTING IS MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN I THOUGHT I have definitely underest

    FULL ACCOUNTING IS MUCH MORE IMPORTANT THAN I THOUGHT

    I have definitely underestimated the importance of the the principle of the “Warranty of Full Accounting”. Its so damned obvious in retrospect. But it is VERY hard to pull a fast one if you are required to give a full accounting of any principle. This is much better than popper’s incomplete ‘falsification’. Followers of Popper ‘get’ that something is very right with falsification but none have reduced it the the set of dimensional warranties that I have. The virtue of thinking like a programmer in operations balancing accounts rather than a philosopher using analogies, or a logician using equality of ratios.

  • IF WE TEACH 100 PEOPLE HOW TO DISMANTLE THE THE LIES AND RESTATE IT AS TRUTH WE

    IF WE TEACH 100 PEOPLE HOW TO DISMANTLE THE THE LIES AND RESTATE IT AS TRUTH WE WILL CHANGE MANKIND FOREVER.

    That’s our first objective. To get 100. To get that 100 I need to show how they lie, show formulaically how they lie, show formulaically how to restate lies truthfully.

    We can transform social science, morality, law, and politics just as much as we have changed the world from mysticism to science.

    Women have their children when young, and rely on their parents (the grandparents) to help with childcare, and lavish the kids with attention.

    They do it better here.

    I ran across him because of an article today. He’s working on similar issues in economics: the value of honesty.

    (cultural observations)

    I have now been politely ‘informed’ that if one cannot speak Ukrainian, then English is preferable to Russian. That has been surprising me.

  • I’ll ruin the parable of this post with the difference separating the two cultur

    I’ll ruin the parable of this post with the difference separating the two cultures: the Rabbi lies four times. The American Tells the truth four times.

    This is the difference between cultures. Indo Europeans obtain adulthood by means of Oath never to lie or steal, and created a high trust society. Westerners discovered truth, reason, and science because of it. And in both the ancient and modern world dragged man out of ignorance and poverty using it.

    High trust, Altruistic, Universalist, Truth Telling, with an ethical system that requires productive fully informed warrantied voluntary exchange free of externality.

    I wouldn’t be too impressed with Talmudic study. There is a reason the most literate people in Europe produced nothing of value until attempting to integrate, and adopting the aristocratic religion of the west: truth and science.

    Study Aristotle, Accounting, Mathematics, Propertarian Ethics, Anglo Saxon Common Law, Austrian Economics, Physics (in all its forms Engineering, Biology, Chemistry, Astronomy)
