  • MATHEMATICAL PLATONISM IN THE BROADER INTELLECTUAL CONTEXT, AND THE CURRENT STAT

    MATHEMATICAL PLATONISM IN THE BROADER INTELLECTUAL CONTEXT, AND THE CURRENT STATE OF DEVELOPMENT IN MATHEMATICS (the study of measurement using constant relations via positional naming)

    (continuing discussion)

    Converting statements of mathematical platonism:

    If we say: “Can we say a subset…?” rather than “All is/are…” we eliminate a great deal of mathematical platonism, that requires us to use terminological special pleading.

    This eliminates the cultism (fictionalism) of mathematical platonism and ensures that the speaker knows of what he speaks, rather than simply performing operations he does not understand, but is still capable of constructing proofs of possibility.

    In other words, there is a difference between an idiot savant who masters pattern recognition and the individual who explains why the patterns can exist in the first place.

    As the intuitionists discovered, (and authors of proof software have taken advantage of), a proof must be falsified, and the two dimensions of doing so are via negativa (application tests), and via positiva (construction from operations)

    Unfortunately it seems that Wolfram is trying to cast operationalism as a separate science, rather than restoring mathematics to operations AND deductions, and it seems theoreticians are still describing symmetries (lie groups), it appears we are stuck with fictionalisms in each sub discipline rather than the rather obvious: that by free association we can either identify or search for patterns, and by a competition between construction and deduction we can test them, in any number of dimensions. And that our topography is largely little more than puzzles, while the problem of N-dimensional permutations producing consistent intermediary symmetries whose change in state is measurable, and lends prediction to heretofore unimaginable outcomes of n-dimensional high causal density is the holy grail of mathematics at which point we will be able to produce semantic intelligences rather than mere computations and algorithms.

    This is a perhaps more articulate explanation of the pseudoscience and pseudo-rationalism of the 20th (and now 21st century) that Hayek chastened us would be remembered in history as a second age of ‘mysticism’.

    Unfortunately, the great wars interfered wth the second enlightenment and the second industrial revolution, and gave the common man economic and political influence by which to distribute that new mysticism (Boaz/marx/freud/cantor/frankfurt school/postmodernism) when poincare, hayek, popper, brouwer, bridgman, and mises all failed to complete the operational revolution.

    (I’m doing my best to pick up the pieces.)

    CURT: DISTURBING SEXISM???

    —“You display disturbing signs of sexism.”— (A friend)

    (A comment from an otherwise obviously rational and scientific woman)

    Great observation and great opportunity to repeat a central theme: compatibility and the need for markets in everything.

    I’m going to suggest this instead: I display CONSISTENT criticism of the female gender biases given the evidence, in matters of politics and reason. (And I display consistent submission to female superiority in interpersonal matters.)

    Sexism. So, why?

    It’s because I advocate compatibilism rather than equality. And because the ratio of men to women in psychosis-to-solipsism vs rationalism-to-autism remains consistent in every single sampling from the behavior of female and male psychopaths, to the difference between male openness to pure ideas, and female openness to aesthetics, to the male concern for the best and female strong for the weakest, to the male concern for excellence to the female concern for equality, the the competence of females in interpersonal skill to the male competence in political skill.

    There is literally no domain where compatibilism is not more evident than equality. Even in intelligence testing we had to lower the standard by increasing weights to verbal acumen. I mean. yo have’t been following me long enough so you haven’t seen my frequent ‘how the heck do women do that amazing stuff’.

    So since NEITHER gender can satisfy the demand for perception, cognition, knowledge, specialization, negotiation, and advocacy, then the only way to ‘calculate’ (rendered commensurable) our division of cognitive labor is through voluntary exchange. And it is marriage that creates an informationally complete market for the use of the division of perception.

    Now, I have written about this reproductive (short-child, vs long-tribe) division of cognitive labor. I have written about (and produced a video about) the classes as an extension of this temporal division of labor to the circumpolar people (white people and chinese people).

    So I consider my ‘intertemporal division of cognitive labor’ concept covered. And I consider my ‘markets in everything’ to take advantage of our temporal specializations covered. And I am currently working on a constitution that denies equality and expressly RESTORES western ‘markets in everything’. With the principle difference that I’ve used testimonialism to eliminate the ability to even TALK about falsehoods and deceptions in public matters by extending fraud protections from goods and services to information (speech).

    Now, I expect this solution that forces compromises to be LESS acceptable to women for the simple reason – mirrored by prison populations – that women ‘steal’ and ‘cheat’ the dominance hierarchy asymmetrically in favor of ridicule, shaming, gossip (suggestion), obscurantism, and advocacy of fictionalism (social construction of artificial realities) far more so than do men – even if men are the minority of practitioners and but the nearly exclusive producers (outside of feminists). And I make this case because as we can see, women have been, in almost all cases, domesticated animals herded by men, since the beginning of man, just like most other mammalian species.

    And women have been the vehicle for the spreading of attractive lies in the ancient world (abrahamism) and the modern world (postmodernism). So the solution to the subjugation of women CANNOT be equality, but can ONLY be markets (trade). Men are not CAPABLE of the information processing and adaptability to local circumstances as are women, and women are not CAPABLE of reason in advancement of excellence (eugenics) in politics. I mean, it is almost impossible to find women who are not so lacking agency because of their solipsism that one can have a scientific conversation. I mean, I have women followers here and most of them know this by now. You just don’t know it.

    So I remain on the attack against the falsehoods of equality and in advocacy of the science, and that is the only equality between any of us is that which is achieved by the market, and those who cannot succeed in that market provide evidence of their need of ‘pruning’ from the gene pool (error reduction), and the only market means of ‘pruning’ is the elimination of reproduction for those people, and the prevention of immigration of those people. Unfortunately, it’s women who produce dysgenic offspring. Men can’t. They can only more easily DEMONSTRATE that their genes are failures.

    Yep. Now, please try to argue that the left removed it from the cirriculum for any reason other than to make their lies possible?

    You want to dumb down a population? remove it’s central method of truth telling. Grammar, logic, rhetoric.

    by Joel Davis

    I would add, that “defining the relative variance/convergence between concepts incommensurably” seems to “expand the definition of the experiential context beyond commensurable relativity between its components”.

    So, I guess I am rendering the whole correspondence vs. coherence epistemological dichotomy as mutual failure to establish commensurable context.

    All you need to do is operationalize their refutations of one another relative to the perciever, and then the conclusion that correspondence is merely coherence with experience becomes apparent. Which I guess leaves Hegelians with the dubious honour of discovering the most sophisticated articulation of coherence with non-experience 😂

    Curt Doolittle I think I have figured out what you have achieved as a philosopher on an even more profound level..

    You operationalized Kant.

    by Steve Pender

    I’d like to get rid of the vague, obsolete terms “left” and “right” in time. In the short term, they’re useful for signalling potential allies. Policy disputes can ultimately be simplified to whether they expand or contract intelligent life in the universe.

    by Joel Davis

    I have been thinking about testimonialism a lot and I have come to the conclusion that testimonialism is less about “the truth” than it is about humility (and if it isn’t, it should be).

    Testimony functions by subdividing experiential contexts into conceptual components via the commensurable definition of relative variance, and/or uniting conceptual components into experiential contexts via the commensurable definition of relative convergence, to enable and expand (in the case of testimony) the commensurable conceptualization of experiential contexts between communicators.

    Non-testimony functions by misrepresenting a concept as a component of an experiential context it did not derive from by either:

    – Defining the relative variance/convergence between concepts incommensurably. (Operational non-correspondence)

    or

    – Expanding the definition of the experiential context beyond commensurable relativity between its components. (Operational incoherence)

    I can break this down into normiespeak..

    Rather than telling me “what is”, tell me how it seems, because no matter “what is”, you can only ever perceive how it seems, as to find out that what it really “is” is different to how it seems, seems really only for it to now seem different.

    Therefore to believe that how it seems is how it is, seems rather arrogant to me.

    —“One is constantly thrown back on this problem of persecution of the productive minority. Been thinking about it all day. They always come after you. I read somewhere recently, maybe on your blog, maybe not, the argument that the elites love this persecution because it’s an engine of economic activity: The productive must constantly spend in order to protect themselves from the incursion of the hordes (mostly by moving but also by status signaling and private schools etc etc).”— Michael Churchill

    I am not sure we should be so fascinated by IQ over 110. Maybe even 105. I mean, as far as I can tell, demonstrated intelligence – or maybe we should call it ‘wisdom’, which is sufficient for action in all walks of life – which we should differentiate from intelligence – or the rate at which we can learn abstractions, seems largely a problem of eliminating impulse, bias, ignorance, and attempts at upgrading our status by ‘cheating’ using various means of verbal and signal deceptions. We can train people into wisdom just as we do in to reading, mathematics, and sciences. So if we produce a narrow distribution, that’s just fine. The problem is the bottom.

    I always wonder why we say “economic left, and economic right”, when what we can only possibly mean over any long term is Dysgenic Left and Eugenic Right.
