    Until we solve the missing fundamental forces of the universe we don’t know enough to speculate on other life forms.

    If the SOL is a limit for physical travel then it’s just irrational for a civilization to do other than grow by rate of colonization.

    If SOL is a limit to communication then communication has no value. If SOL is not a limit for communication, then we can’t likely see/hear anything.

    So age of the universe plus demands upon planetary stability over time, plus SOL open questions, means …. hard to know until we get there ourselves.

    Resources are not a reason to seek planets. Trade is very unlikely to be a reason to seek planets. Colonization is the only caloric reason that makes any sense.

    Hence mechanical probes are the only valuable contact other than conquest, extermination, and replacement.

    My intuition is that if life exists out there and can defeat the SOL or time problems, even if purely mechanical, then they’ve been here already.

    Eli Harman is trying to recreate the skull-pyramid aesthetic. And you know, while I understand, it’s a sort of temple or catacomb thing, ’cause it just seems …. a violation of the sacred to keep them around the house, and it doesn’t work with anything other than mid victorian ‘world-eccentricity’. I mean, if you’re into mid century modern, french provincial, or farmhouse, or shabby chic, it’s just really hard to work into the overall composition.

    But, that said, I suppose I have to amend “Noose, Pike, And Pyre”, with “Skull Pyramid” just for closure purposes.

    De gustibus non est disputandum

    by Steve Pender

    Not quite. If you don’t pay for the costs (packaging, moving, defense) of your aesthetic, we gonna dispute. This is why there’s conflict sometimes between male aesthetic (direct, utilitarian, minimalist) and female (representational, extravagant, status-seeking). Aerospace/industrial/military vs shabby chic/victorian (at the extreme of female taste). It almost seems that some women have to be figuratively dragged kicking and screaming into the future.

  • SERIES: Imaginable > possible > reasonable > rational(ism), logical > tautologic

    SERIES: Imaginable > possible > reasonable > rational(ism), logical > tautological.

    Very common in english, which is a very technical language (analytic), we tend to pick terms that convey higher authority (persuasive ability) than our arguments support.

    So technically speaking most of the time we use ‘rational’ we mean reasonable, and when we use the term rational we mean argumentatively sound, and when we mean logical, we mean (very) internally consistent.

    So technically speaking when we use ‘rational choice’ we mean ‘reasonable choice’. The problem is ‘rational choice’ is embedded in the literature. We really don’t have a term for between reasonable (we can understand it), reasonable given the actor’s unseen incentives and values, and rational meaning argumentatively sound.

    Sometimes for clarity I’ll use reasonable vs rational choice, vs rational.

    GODS EXIST AS NUMBERS EXIST

    Well my view is that we create our gods by thinking of them, talking to them, and acting because of them; and that any other beings in this universe, if so needing gods, do so too, for the same reason they persist among humans: defensive mindfulness. So as far as I know our gods human or alien are a product of minds, which are a product of the universe, as are we, and as are numbers, and as such gods exist as numbers exist, and the universe itself serves as the only creator there is – a purely accidental one. The universe makes gods through us. not the other way ’round.

    THE REBELLION CONTINUES

    I mean, I don’t know were current mythology and propaganda developed, but Judaism is a counter-revolution against (a) hellenic reason because of the conquest of alexander (hellenic judaism), (b) roman law under the conquest of rome (rabbinical judaism), (c) and western science (socialism: boas, marx, freud, cantor, lenin/trotsky, mises, rand/rothbard)

    The entire history of judaism is merely inverting western truth, reason, law, and technology as a means of resistance, undermining, and insurrection.

    Whatever innovation in truth we bring the world, they have produced a counter-revolution by which to return people to ignorance.

    Why? (The female brain).

    Seriously.

    And the data increasingly suggests it.

    THE LAW IS THE ONLY MASTER OF SOVEREIGN MEN

    —“One-against-one, the Spartans are as good as anyone in the world. But when they fight in a body, they are the best of all the world. For though they are free men, they are not entirely free. They accept Law as their master. And they respect this master more than your subjects respect you. Whatever he commands, they do. And his command never changes: It forbids them to flee in battle, whatever the number of their foes. He requires them to stand firm — to conquer or die.”—Damaratus to Xerxes.

    (operationalism, or Scientific Praxeology)

    I’ve consolidated the posts on Mises, Rothbard, Hoppe, Libertarianism, and anarcho capitalism into a single post. As well as the translation of kantian apriorism into scientific prose. (Equivalent to approx 20 pages – a paper.)

    You might want to keep this link around, or share it because it’s the majority of the argument against libertarianism, which is necessary to get our ‘idealistic’ brothers to convert to Sovereigntarianism. (Propertarianism).

    I have organized this content (and a lot more) into a book draft, but it’s low on my priority list. So if I put it out, it’ll be later on.
