    Just FYI, the WIKI article on the Maidan Revolution is actually pretty accurate. (Like everything they do in ukraine – which is why I love them. Ukrainians are as objective and cautiously optimistic as russians are subjective and pessimistic. I wish I’d thought of that before but that’s actually it.)

    Given the vast array of possibility and immense casual density of the universe, incrementally eliminating the arbitrary from the relevant recursively refines the process of knowledge production and choice of effective action. The spectrum from Analogy to Theory to Axiomatic Proof to Operational Description outlines the process of continuous disambiguation which iteratively remove doubt in preference, good, and truth and therefore future action. The degree of doubt which survives the disambiguation process dictates the degree of knowledge obtained. The degree of knowledge obtain dictates the effectiveness of action – the degree of agency obtained.

    by Bill Joslin

    I think the Propertarian legal frames can be explained simply. But the difficulty in simplistic explanations pertains to constraining interpretation (free association) which dissolves our value on testimony as a demanding moral good. We can habituate that via law and grounded parables (parables grounded in reality))

    (CURT: If you can disassemble that, it’s spot on.)

    —“Talking of Nassim Nicholas Taleb, which book in your opinion defines him as a thinker?”–Marsden Katana

    I think everything you need to know is in Black Swan and he’s slowly moving my direction (involuntary warranty) versus voluntary “skin in the game”, through each of his books. I think he finally figured out that the data necessary to produce outliers is more expensive to obtain than the returns, and so he’s started to come around to legal restraint rather than solving the quantitative problem. In other words, he’s moved to falsification rather than justification.

    BOTTOM UP, TOP DOWN

    Sometimes operational before descriptive, and sometimes descriptive before operational.

    by Dan Fodor

    I sometimes get ‘operational’ before I get ‘descriptive’ : I can spend hours running “simulations” of the math problem I’m trying to solve in my head (simple ex: visualize a cube to deduce its properties).

    This gets problematic if I forget to eat or forego attention to various mundane details around me. Anyway, the point is, when getting descriptive (or when passing from operational to descriptive), I need the lenience to speak vaguely (even if only to myself) before I can speak clearly.I suspect this is true for any new concept.

    Something must first be thought of before it can be spoken of.

    (a subtle bit of genius)

    POSTMODERNISM: NARCISSISM OF SMALL DIFFERENCES ALL IN LOVE WITH TOTALITARIANISM.

    (humor)(Sorry, but gotta repeat this)

    Q: What’s the difference between Heidegger, Sartre and Foucault?

    A: It’s just narcissism of small differences. All of them extolled the value of freedom (in theory), but in practice they all fell in love with various forms of totalitarianism. Heidegger supported Hitler, Sartre supported Stalin, and Foucault supported Khomeini.
