    THE GRAMMAR OF PSEUDOSCIENCE

    (Sorry for interjecting on your post but it’s such a great example of psychologism versus incentives, it’s hard to let the opportunity pass.)

    INTERSECTIONALITY: The study of intersections between forms or systems of oppression, domination or discrimination.

    Or in economics (real social science, not pseudoscience) we call it the study of formal and informal institutions, and the competition between heterogeneous interests, in markets for association, cooperation, reproduction, production, production of commons, production of polities, production of group evolutionary strategies.

    IDENTITY POLITICS: A tendency for people of a particular religion, race, social background, etc., to form exclusive political alliances, moving away from traditional broad-based party politics.

    Or in economics (real social science, not pseudoscience) we call it ‘kin selection’ and ‘rational self interest’ because the cost of in-group cooperation(opportunity) is lower and the return on in-group signaling higher. The long term consequences result either in small populations and nationalism or large populations and castes. This is because our biological differences are extraordinarily differentiating in all markets for cooperation.

    THE GRAMMAR OF INTELLECTUAL FRAUD

    If suggestion, loading and framing are present in a discourse then it’s not science, it’s pseudoscience. All human behavior is reducible to the same laws as that of the physical universe: defeat of entropy. Emotions are just our reward or punishment for success or failure in fulfillment of those laws. All speech is either descriptive (in economic terms) or coercive (in psychological terms). And therefore truthful or fraudulent.

    There are only three methods of organizing human beings (coercion). 1) Force, 2) Compensation, 3) Ostracization (guilt, shaming, rallying).

    Truth is the only reciprocal compensation among those choices. Everything else is ignorance, error, bias, deceit, fraud, or predation.

    Cheers

    -Curt.

    THE SO CALLED TRANS ATLANTIC ALLIANCE

    FALSE FRAMING 1: It’s not an alliance. The core state of Europe is and was Germany, and Germany(Sparta/Army) was conquered and has been a client state of Anglo civilization(Athens/Navy). USA Can no longer afford Client States without the Petrodollar to fund policing world trade.

    FALSE FRAMING 2: The reasons Europe can virtue signal opposition to the USA are (a) they do not pay their share of defense, and (b) because they do not share the problems of over-centralization (federalism) in the united states oppressing cultural differences between regions.

    (more on eli harman and jared how on truediltom’s stream)

    So what you saw was Eli understanding (without any effort) Howe, but no attempt for Howe to understand Eli. Eli was searching for opportunities to explain. Howe was searching for opportunities to disagree and repeat talking points. And making zero effort to understand. Seek to understand. Define terms. Create models. Paraphrase your opponent.

    The reality is that these subjects are over the heads of the people so passionately debating them.

    Libertarianism = Marxism = Neoconservatism = Parasitism.

    It’s because I don’t do symbolism, I don’t do utilitarianism, I don’t do pragmatism, I do truth, sovereignty, reciprocity, heroism, duty, and markets in everything. Why? There is more to a polity than money and property. It is our commons that are our competitive advantage.

    —“I think the biggest problem with arguing is two people whose beliefs are different at the foundation will probably never be able to convince each other of anything.”— Skyler Sickinger

    Well I disagree because we see it happen all the time between people who are intellectually honest. What they disagree over is (a) predicted people’s behavior, (b) utility of the idea in changing it (c) priority among available ideas.

    If you define terms and make models (constructions) then it’s very easy for intellectually honest and able people to agree.

    Debates are only as valuable as the intellectual ability and honesty of the people debating.

    Conversations are better.

    In my experience arguments that consist of a series of steps rather than a simple contrast require writing.

    We can FEEL contrasts but we must REASON deductions.

    The reason we have difficulty with most big questions is that they must be reasoned not felt.

  • “The Ukrainians started rounding up Jews and killing hundreds, probably thousand

    —“The Ukrainians started rounding up Jews and killing hundreds, probably thousands, of Jews by clubbing them to death in the streets really the minute the Germans entered their lands.

    Not because of ‘irrational hate’, but because of the ghastly crimes the Jews had been committing against them under the guise of ‘Bolshevism’.

    The ‘holocaust’ saga was later invented to 1)hide the crimes of the Jews against the slavs under Bolshevism and 2) to whitewash the post war genocidal revenge against the Germans. 3) sell Zionism. “— Anthony Migchels
