  • FOR SCIENTISTS: UNDERSTANDING JORDAN PETERSON’S INNOVATIONS 1) SYNTHESIS OF LITE

    FOR SCIENTISTS: UNDERSTANDING JORDAN PETERSON’S INNOVATIONS

    1) SYNTHESIS OF LITERATURE, PSYCHOLOGY, AND BIOLOGY

    Peterson has identified the relationship between the monomyth>Archetypes>Plots>Virtues> Personality > Reward systems > Brain structure. So he has converted Jung’s loose (pseudo-scientific) assumptions into a scientific description and integrated it into literary theory.

    In other words, he has found that by use of transformational (monomyth) narratives we circumvent the near impossibility of direct self-reflection, and learn, correct, and relearn by empathy with third party ‘characters’ instead – thereby using mirroring (empathy) to circumvent the challenges of self reflection.

    2) RESTORATION AND EXPRESSION OF STOICISM IS SCIENTIFIC TERMS

    He has taken it further into restoring our natural european religion of Stoicism by suggesting that we can use myth, literature, and self-authoring to accomplish the mindfulness of stoicism, and abandon the abrahamic superstitions that result in ignorance and decline, without moving into buddhism or other forms of ritual. That means only Stoicism produces a mindfulness of *innovation* (adaptation) of the self through action, rather than through disconnection.

    3) REFORMATION OF THERAPY(Error Correction), EDUCATION (Market Skills), AND RELIGION (Normative Discipline)

    The restoration of the stoic program and the use of literature would allow us to reform religion (trainning in the extension of kinship love, training in mindfulness, restoration of natural holidays and heroes), Education (teaching mindfulness as another ordinary discipline like vocabulary and grammar, reading, essay and argument (logic and rhetoric), measurement and mathematics).

    DEFLATING THE CENTRAL INNOVATION IN CHRISTIANITY

    Christianity trains people in only one thing: the extension of kinship love outside of immediate kin to ‘invest in’ (purchase) cooperation that otherwise would not be possible to acquire. But so does the simple imposition of common law, and the development of a middle class by commerce. In that sense, christianity (like judaism, and islam) is a primitive method of cooperation using charity and virtue signals rather than commercial interaction and material reward seeking to build trust in one another.

    THE INTEGRATION OF CHRISTIANITY AND WESTERN DEFLATIONARY TRUTH

    The uniqueness of the west is that we combined deflationary truth, deflationary institutions, and continuous competition ALONG WITH extension of kinship love. And it was that combination that allowed us to both unify in cooperation and remain separate in government and institutions.

  • WHERE DO WE FIND KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH? (great important question for those fooled

    WHERE DO WE FIND KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH?

    (great important question for those fooled by rationalism)

    —“Where do you get your knowledge about truth If the senses cannot be relied on? All knowledge, including ideas (ideal), wishful (desireable, derived from feelings of pleasure and pain) are ultimately formed on the information derived from sense-organs. If you exclude what is derived from senses, than what remains to be calculated?”— Domagoj Vaci

    by Curt Doolittle

    || Senses > perceptions > experiences > memories(episodes) > products of reasoning(episodic modeling) > knowledge(survived modeling) > memories of the use of knowledge(survived actions – hypothesis) > memories of the consequences of the use of knowledge(survived consequences – theories) > memories of the class of consequences of the use of classes of knowledge(survived broadly – laws).

    Emotions reflect changes in state of that which we seek to acquire or have acquired, or have acquired and invested. Acquisition is the cause of the prey drive. The prey drive consists of stages. Each stage of the prey drive corresponds to one of our endocrinological reward(punishment) systems. The variations in our personalities are due to variation in the sensitivity and productivity of our endocrinological reward systems.

    || Acquisition > Prey Drive > Reward Systems > Variations > Personality (biases)

    We only obtain hypotheses from perception. We obtain theories from the record of our actions, and we obtain ‘laws’ from the categorical record of our actions.

    || Free association > hypothesis > theory > Law > Metaphysical Value judgements.

    So the question “where do we obtain knowledge of truth if not from our senses” is a common fallacy created out of the German (Kantian) counter-enlightenment. We obtain ideas from the mixing of our senses with our memories and instincts to acquire (avoid loss). We obtain incremental knowledge of success from the survival of our actions that test those free associations. We obtain incremental knowledge of truth from attempts to falsify those free associations by intent rather than waiting for failure.

    We only can develop hypotheses from free association, and only in certain special simple cases, can we identify confident deductions from them – what we call the “a priori” in counter-englightenment prose. But, while the average well intentioned fool uses the term “a priori” without understanding it, there is no such *CASE* as an ‘a priori’, alone, only the following CATEGORIES of a priori statements. In other words, the a priori tells us nothing other than we have identified an opportunity to learn a truth candidate at a discount.

    (a) Analytic A Priori: tautological: 2+2=4 and all deductions thereof.

    (b) Necessary Synthetic A Priori: “Childless women will have no

    (c) Synthetic A Priori : Increasing money increases inflation.

    grandchildren.”

    (d) Contingent Synthetic A Priori: “all other things being equal, as a general trend, increasing demand will increase supply, although we cannot know the composition of that supply in advance, we can identify it from recorded evidence.”

    This produces a an ordered spectrum of declining precision:

    (a) Identity(categorical consistency) – Analytic A Priori

    (b) Logical:(internal consistency) – Nec. Synthetic a priori

    (c) Empirical: (external consistency) – Gen. Synth. a priori

    (d) Existential: (operational consistency) – Cont. Synth. a priori

    The set of which must always go through the cycle of:

    || Free association > hypothesis > theory > law > metaphysical assumption.

    In other words, it must survive increasing markets for falsification.

  • SOMEONE NEW WHO UNDERSTANDS! by Parker Salingers Curt Doolittle: I see. So anoth

    SOMEONE NEW WHO UNDERSTANDS!

    by Parker Salingers

    Curt Doolittle: I see. So another way to frame it could be: jesus was a great archetypal figure, but the bible is largely wrapped in lies, so you may as well praise the characters in Dostoyevskys novels, because they assume similar moral truths and are probably surrounded by less superstition/falsehood.

    And youre right, christianity may have been parsed in ways that were *beneficial* at certain times, and the west certainly had some high points with it as a foundation, but if you look at the history, or even more so the modern countries that have largely embraced xtianity you see this bullshit turn the other cheek universalism that is just cucking those countries into irrelevancy, especially against a system like islam that has no qualms with leeching off christians overzealous universalism, and slitting their throats when theyre done leeching.

    That was actually my next observation, but it seemed too long to burden you with. Sure some countries peaked under xtianity, but compared to what? And how have christian nations faired overall in history? And modern times. Not that great, really. All religious states, really. They become literalist and are oppressive and contradictory and suck ass.

    I think theres MAYBE an argument that christianity, for a time, inspired the search for absolute truth in the west- bacon, aquinas, et al. But does seem unnecessary today.

    Your solution seems to be a system of darwinian truth, and the character rattling around my head is jordan peterson, who i think is dancing with some ideas you are, and im curious how your system would address morality? I actually agree with what youve laid out and think it would produce a strong nation, the strongest. But wheres the moral backbone? I dont see this system relying on any of the half truth philosophers. Kants worthless imperatives. Or really any of the idealists at all.

    Thanks for the response. Ive seen you mocked a bit, and never actually looked into your beliefs, but this sounds totally reasonable and could do a lot of good. You’re in for a hell of a battle though. All of those institutions are equal parts evil and powerful.

  • “This is why I love capitalism. It knows no race. It has no sacred cows. Jacob Z

    –“This is why I love capitalism. It knows no race. It has no sacred cows. Jacob Zuma and his Gupta Family goons hire a British PR firm to do a hit job in South Africa. The job involves stoking what critics call “racial tensions” to distract from Zuma’s PR problems. Naturally, the white moguls who support his enemies are furious. But as I have said elsewhere: the biggest threat to racism, racists and nationalists is pure capitalism.”— Ayelam

    It’s true. Although the biggest threat to evolution is universalism. Each of us must pay for our own demographic domestication. otherwise, I’m sorta in the “Yeah, I understand the racism thing”. I just prefer we all carried our own water so that we all got along. And as far as I know, capitalism says ‘carry your own water’. The problem is, universalism says the opposite. Ergo, nationalism = capitalism: carrying your own water. I fucking hate racism so my only solution is nationalism.

    THREE STAGES OF MENTAL ILLNESS

    Mental illness as far as I know, is measured:

    1 – The first by the harm to the individual or his peers (harm).

    2 – The second measure is whether cooperation is no longer possible because of an insufficiently shared reality. In which case we are stuck with the problem of decidability – which corresponds more closely to reality (cooperation).

    3 – The third measure is whether individuals suffer psychological pain because their theories and consequent actions produce results in reality that dissatisfy, frustrate, or agonize them.

    Beyond that we have merely ability, ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, and deceit.

  • Yes, if you want to criticize me, I am an arrogant, discriminating, polymathic,

    Yes, if you want to criticize me, I am an arrogant, discriminating, polymathic, elitist, cultured, artistic, snob – but one that despite depression era parents and grandparents, was raised with sufficient Noblesse Oblige to avoid the defects of the proud, effete, intolerant, and petty; to appreciate and honor my betters; and to use my achievements, and advantages of birth, for the benefit of my people – and other peoples should they wish to make use of it. I know of no better strategy to adopt that would not result in the production of false signals, to accumulate false status, by the deception of others. It is, in fact, an ascetic and skeptical personal philosophy: Truth is truth is truth. It is just a personal philosophy that takes more intellectual and emotional courage(‘guts’) than all but a few can handle. So, be careful how you criticize me. Because I can look in the mirror. But can you? If not I will make you.

    WHY WE ARGUE AGAINST CHRISTIANITY (ALL OF ABRAHAMISM)

    –“… you dismiss religion and marxism as a time saver…”—Parker Salingers

    Smart, and close. But…We don’t brush it off, we can answer it, but as you say, it’s a time sink, and it takes an intellectually honest opponent. And both time, energy, and intellectually honest opponents are scarce. So we weigh our investments in argument carefully.

    ABRAHAMISM AND DECEPTION VS LITERATURE AND TRUTH

    So, because monotheistic religions make use of the techniques of abrahamism (conflation, lies, falsehoods, denialism), And because prior to monotheism, law (truth) which is a literature of limits, was separated from mythical ‘religions’ (parables) – which are simply literature of pedagogy (opportunities) – we see no reason why people must be taught lies and superstition, rather than truth and literature, other than that they are not human – only half-domesticated animals, who, like our livestock and our pets, therefore cannot possible have a place in law and politics.

    SEEDING LETS US CHEAPLY SEARCH FOR HONEST OPPONENTS

    So we settle for repeating the ‘seeds’ of “if it’s good then why must you lie about it?’ And conversely, why has christianity failed to defend us? Why is christianity universalist? Why did vatican II double-down on universalism and conversion rather than personal acts of charity to neighbors? Why did protestant evangelicalism double down on fundamentalism and conversion rather than truth?

    THE CONSEQUENCES OF ABRAHAMISM

    It’s not that imitating the jesus myth if stated without supernatural connotations is a bad thing. It’s that the consequences of judaism were the loss of a homeland the adoption of parasitism and near extermination; the consequences of christianity were a dark age, our near conquest by arabs, mongols, and turks – and our rescue by our own ‘northern european pagans’ and our inability to resist them like we could not resist arabs, mongols, and turks; and the consequences of islam and the loss of all the great civilizations of the ancient world – byzantium, persia, phoenicia, egypt, and their decent into ignorance, mysticism, poverty – and worse of all: dysgenia.

    JESUS’ IDEA DEFLATED INTO TRUTH

    When I analyze (deflate) christianity into operational terms it is nothing more than *assuming the incentive to cooperate exists, overinvestment in cooperation will develop sufficient rewards and trust that cooperation without investment, and the high returns of cooperation can be produced*. This strategy is *counter to instinct*, so it must be trained into us. It can be trained into us by superstition (lies), storytelling (analogy), description(science), or discipline (training). So if the *wrapper* around christianity consists of lies, especially those leading to fundamentalism (use of religion in argument and politics) and therefore producing denialism and ignorance, and therefore damaging, then why perpetuate the the lies, and not simply teach the science as we have in every other discipline.

    THE RESTORATION OF THE WEST

    The restoration of western civilization will not be complete until abrahamism(lying) in all its supernatural forms: jewish, christian, islam, and abrahamism in its modern forms marxism(jewish-pseudoscientific), postmodernism(catholic-pseudorational), and anglo-keynesian (pseudoscientific) and judaism, christianity and Islam (supernatural fundamentalism) have all been extinguished from our lands, our institutions, our laws, our norms, and the people who inhabit them.

    THE RESTORATION OF OUR SUCCESS: TRUTH

    Because then we will return to our ancient strategy: truth above all else, and truth as the preferred means of climbing the dominance hierarchy.

    THE EXISTENTIAL (REAL) TRANSCENDENCE OF MAN

    Because truth is power over the falsehoods of man, the vicissitudes of nature, and the brutality of the physical universe.
