    THE PROBLEM OF ANCHORING AND KNOWLEDGE NEVER ENDS

    —“”A little knowledge is a dangerous thing”? I don’t know about that. I have found many “experts” today are elitist. I run into the “how dare you question my position? What is your scholarship/training/etc.” more often than not. “Who are you to impugn my scholarship?” Then again, maybe I represent the quote with my own hubris?”— John Stephens

    Well you know, you aren’t wrong – that’s just saying: “there are limits of knowledge anchoring and insufficiency at the bottom, and limits of knowledge anchoring and insufficiency at the top” – which is empirically true the more variation in general rules. We are anchored by our knowledge and its limits. For example, the set of general rules in physics, and chemistry are not heavily debated, in some part because they are contextually invariant. The set of general rules in biology and economics are heavily debated because niches demonstrate adaptivity : extraordinary variation. Such that while some general rules are discovered, the combinatorial consequences of those general rules are extremely difficult to pin down. Economics in particular. I assume when we get to sentience (artificial intelligence)that the limits to cognition will be measurable, and we will learn about the human mind through those measurements.

    I think that what I do, and what others do, is to save time and effort by throwing nonsense back in your face, simply so that you don’t have to deal with helping someone through a long journey from their assumptions to sufficient knowledge to question them. I mean. We’re all human.

    I think moreover, that – at least, since having converted full time to philosophy – my observation is that many men know their craft but not *why* their craft yields truthful propositions *relative to other crafts*. In other words, *they just don’t know.* And they don’t want to be ‘outed’.

    (worth repeating)

    —“When we verify through testing by our best empirical methods, our arguments gain credibility from *reality*. When we assert based on a-priorisms which can not be found in reality we use logic to “steal credibility from reality” – we assert it as reality without consulting reality- a transfer of credibility from existence in reality, to the subjective untestable, invisible, personal opinion.”— Bill Joslin

    —“Curt equates a lack of due diligence to vet ones ideas against error, bias, self deception, overloading etc as lying. Any primacy of consciousness or theism stands as arguing for a preference opposed to arguing a point in the commons.

    Theism and primacy of-conciousness are not verifiable in the commons – to proceed with them you must accept these premises.

    ***When we verify via our best empirical methods, our arguments gain credibility from reality. When we assert based on a priorisms which can not be found in reality we use logic to “steal credibility from reality” – we assert it as reality without consulting reality- a transfer of credibility from existence in reality, to the interpretive framework.***

    If an argument holds arbitrary assertions we can dismiss it off-hand. (If asserted without evidence it can be dismissed without evidence)”—

    THE INQUISITION: AND WE ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT OUR WORK

    Um. you don’t understand. When we say we’re creating the

    answer to the Frankfurt School, that means we’re creating it’s opposite. We’re creating the Inquisition. In archaic language this would translate to The Prosecutors and Knights of the Natural Law of Sovereign Men. Although we won’t wear funny hats. Except this time it’s against all Abrahamism both modern and ancient: judaism, christianity, islam, marxism, postmodernism, islamism. So If your words are incompatible with natural law, you will be prosecuted. And we are passionate about our work.

    Agency and Sovereignty > Truth and Natural Law > Markets in Everything: association, cooperation, reproduction, production, production of commons, production of polities, production of group evolutionary strategy, production of agency.

    THE PROSECUTOR BAITS THE PURVEYORS OF FRAUD

    The difference is that I do what I do to bait idiots, so that I can defraud them, just like scientists debunk supernaturalists. And Dyer is one of those frauds who has found a market for fulfilling demand for denial of reality. But once a person has descended into conflating reason and intuition in order to circumvent reason and existence (science) then the strategy of denialism (postmodernism, kantian rationalism, and abraham) has been played. The purpose of denialism, pseudo-rationalism, and experientialism, in all its forms is merely rejection of reason and reality so that the inferior need not negotiate a compromise with the superior. That’s all it is. Nothing more. An elaborate verbal deception for the purpose of leaving no option for compromise, and therefore no options but separatism and violence. You cannot enter into an exchange with a dishonest man. And all debate and discourse is either honest or not. If not honest then the only options are boycott and violence.

    I’m building an inquisition against Abrahamism in all its forms.

    by Domagoj Vaci

    I suspect the evil behind Jehova (back then, the insignificant local deity of insignificant Hebrews) is in fact the Persian devil Ahura Mazda.

    The entire naturalist pre-socratic philosophy came to be as an expression of a Ionian Greek resistance to this dualistic religionism of Persian imperial project.

    Alexander was a simple hick who was only good at breaking the military power of East while polluting the culture of Greek city-states under his yoke with eastern piety, petrifying Greek reason.

    Although, the “pre-Socratic” is a bit too wide definition. I should say Ionians, precisely Milesian school (Thales, Anaximander, Anaximenes) who invented philosophy to begin with and subjected their reasoning to crude empiricism.

    This development culminates with the Atomists Leucippus and Democritus who were also Ionian Greeks. Pythagoras was a mystic who took his cues from Egypt and Heraclitus was a dissatisfied Aristocrat who worshiped fire, just like Zoroastrian priesthood. I guess we can consider them odd ducks in this development.

    —

    (Curt: I would say that alexander was not a simple hick, especially from his letters to Aristotle. But that yes, in search of ending the persian menace, he sought power not just rule, and yes he infected the west with the persian disease.)

    TO END ISLAM AND JUDAISM WE MUST END CHRISTIANITY

    Everything good in Christianity was there before Jesus was.

    The argument that the christians adopted the cult of the emperor and applied it to jesus is just as true as they adopted the cult of mithras and sol invictus.

    There is a big difference between the imperial cult, the cult of mithras, and the cult of sol invictus, and the cult of jesus. The others were martial and good, and the jesus cult was destructive as hell. Not as destructive as islam but nearly.

    There is no superior social technology than cult of the monarchy as embodiment of the people, cult of ancestors and heroes(masculine) and saints(feminine), cult of the militia, cult of the law as justice, cult of stoicism, cult of truth.

    Lies are not necessary. They are cheap. And they are effective. But their consequences are worse than their benefits.

    The old world lies of Islam, Christianity, and Judaism, as well as the new world lies of Islamism, Postmodernism, and Marxism, must be extinguished. They are semitic, babylonian inventions. They are the evolution of the Persian heresy of Zoroastrianism, turned against the circumpolar peoples in order to undermine our ancient military, technical, and civic social orders by the seduction of our women, our weak, and our ignorant.

    ON RUSSIAN CURSES

    The word “Dolboeb” Russian(“долбаеб”) is a (very) rude curse word for reckless “idiot” or “crazy idiot”. Russian curses are hard to translate because they are more poetic. But the closest is possibly ‘f-ckhead’ and ‘f-ckwit’.

    But, just as English curses include the intimation of irony, stupidity, incompetence, foolishness, and folly-pride, to understand the Russian versions, you have to add the sense of ‘drunkenness’ to the anglo conception of any insult: a sort of overconfidence, or certainty in your stupidity – plus something else… it’s … that Russians are strong people and curses very often imply someone is strong but stupid – so they don’t have the connotation many of our english words do of feebleness of one kind or another. They don’t think farce or folly, or childishness is funny – just stupid. Humor has to include this overconfidence and pride attribution in order for something to be funny.

    I mean, I remember an early morning, watching a drunk moron try to steal a piece of fruit from the back of a delivery truck, while they men working in the market and the various trucks just laughed and teased him, let him get away with it, then take it from him, and repeat this process for a good half an hour. I mean, there must have been thirty people watching this comedy and everyone was rolling with it. And all with an undercurrent of sympathy. We don’t do that kind of thing in protestant christianity. Which is unfortunate. It’s more civil.

    Russian culture isn’t so much legal as *reasonable*. There is more of the latin ‘reasonableness’, than the absolutism of protestant law. And I prefer our government but their civility.

    It’s why I love them so much.

    WHAT IS AMERICA’S RUBICON?

    —“What is America’s metaphorical Rubicon?”—Brad Lundgren

    by Dmitry Chernov

    Constitutional Crisis. Several examples. Jackson defying the Supreme Court to remove the Cherokee. Lincoln arresting the legislators in Maryland to prevent Secession (actually a variety of actions he took.) In theory, Nixon’s firing of Cox – but since Nixon was Pardoned it simply doesn’t matter there. Ditto Lincoln who kept the country together and no one would think of prosecuting realistically, and Jackson who lived in an era well before those kinds of checks were really well-developed and acted decisively in his Executive Authority in spite of High Court squeamish attempts at interference. We’re approaching that again. The question is does Trump fulfill the promise of Trump, or try to make a deal with the deep state?
