    In 586 BCE, the forces of the Babylonian Empire conquered the Jews, destroying their Temple and carrying off a proportion of the Jewish population into exile. The captives consisted especially of educated and upper-class people as well as the royal family. This “Babylonian captivity” lasted almost fifty years. In 539 BCE the Persians, under the leadership of the Achaemenid King Cyrus, conquered Babylon, and in 538 Cyrus issued a decree stating that the Jews would be allowed to return to their homeland. Not only were the Exiles released, but Cyrus, and to some extent his Achaemenid successors, also supported the rebuilding of the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem. Cyrus’ policy was motivated not only by his religious tolerance (he also encouraged other, pagan peoples to maintain their own religions) but by statesmanlike wisdom; people treated generously are less likely to rebel.

    But not all the Jews wanted to go home. In the years of Exile, the adaptable Jewish people had established themselves in Mesopotamia, settling there and engaging in business and even politics. Many Jews, while remaining devout Jews, did not go back to their homeland. They carried on their lives in their new home, and as the Persian Empire consolidated its rule, some Jews even rose to high positions of service in the imperial court.

    It was during the end of the Exile, among the Jews now living in the Persian Empire, that the first significant contact was made between the Jewish and Iranian cultures. And it is evident in the Bible that Jewish thinking changed after the Exile. The question is then: are these changes the result of the cultural meeting of Jewish and Iranian thinkers, or are these changes due to the shock of Exile? During the Exile, Jews had to change not only how they worshipped, since they no longer had their temple or the animal sacrifices which had been at the center of their faith, but also how they thought about God. The Jewish concept of God as their tribal protector, who would save them from being conquered or exiled, had to undergo revision.

    (great paragraph from ch1)

    ***We teach history as the record of achievement and invention, and this is all well and good. But when we teach history as the record of firsts, we rarely focus on the most important first: those who are fastest. Or the opposite: who are the slowest. Or worse, who declines and why. Most of human history consists of seeking opportunities at actionable human scale. However, in the current era, our greatest opportunities are those provided not by innovation, but the elimination of error, bias, wishful thinking, and deceit.***

    THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD IN ALL ITS FORMS IS THE RESULT OF THE APPLICATION OF THE EMPIRICAL, INDO EUROPEAN, COMMON, LAW OF SOVEREIGN MEN (the property owners) TO OTHER FIELDS OF INQUIRY.

    The developmental order is Greek Law -> Aristotle -> Stoics -> Roman Law -> Roman Legal Revival -> Anglo Early Empiricism 1200 -> Baconian Empiricism.

    In all of history it is most common for the propagandist class (the religions) to claim credit for that which they had no interest.

    HOW TO PROSECUTE RATHER THAN CONVINCE

    We have moral cause (genocide).

    We have moral authority (a century of lies).

    We have sufficient violence.

    We have opportunity (loss of any credibility in the honesty of our opponents.)

    So, we have means, motive and opportunity.

    PROSECUTION

    1) Prosecute people to demonstrate that they are liars and thieves.

    2) Ask why they will not trade with you instead of lie, cheat and steal.

    3) Tell them that if we disagree and they force no costs upon us, our kin, and our civilization, then that is merely an agreement to disagree. If they wish to trade what we wish for what they wish then that is merely an agreement to cooperate on means, even though we seek different ends. But if they will not respect what is ours and leave us in peace, will not compromise by trade, and instead seek to impose costs upon us, our kin, and our civilizations, by proxy via the force of government, or by deceit, or by conversion, or by invasion, or by violence, then it is only rational that we will resort ourselves to violence, displacement, deportation, enslavement, and truthfulness.

    We are left with no choice but to prosecute enemies by punishment, expulsion, enslavement, or death.

    This is what I mean by prosecution.

    HOW DO WE CONVINCE THE LEFT? WE DON’T.

    We do not seek to convince.

    We seek to prosecute.

    If you fail to convince you walk away.

    if you fail to prosecute you die.

    if you succeed in prosecution, you punish.

    If punishment fails, you kill.

    DEFINITIONS: LOADING, FRAMING, OVERLOADING.

    Loading = Moral Loading (a form of biasing a suggestion, causing the person to be more heavily influenced by intuition – social effects.)

    Framing = a form of informational cherrypicking where one eliminates some information and overloads with other information, in order to bias the conclusions of others.

    Overloading = Cognitive Overloading ( The use of information, language, detail, to cause the failure of the individual to analytically tests the statement and resort to intuition – cognitive effects)

    Pseudoscience and pseudorationalism, religion, and narrative are methods of Overloading. (Marxism is at present the second best form of overloading after monotheism – both of which make false utopian promises).

    I sometimes separate out Environmental Overloading (Propaganda) to demonstrate overloading at scale, by industrialized means.

    I sometimes refer to religion as using overloading and submission to overloading as a price of ritual entry into an identity.

    Most deception occurs by the use of incomplete information to cause reliance on introspection (substitution). this kind of deception is open to denial, and therefore not open to retaliation. Whereas supplying false information rather than incomplete and suggested information is not open to denial, and therefore is open to retaliation.

    I suspect that when we discover the means by which space time is constructed (of big,heavy somethings), that Einstein will look ‘dumb’ for having distracted us for a century or more, by solving the question of electromagnetic radiation (light) rather than the problem of the construction of the universe. A particularly obvious human cognitive bias in retrospect.

    it certainly appears that what we see of the universe in the radiant spectrums consists of little more than the sparklers and we are still ignorant of what it is that casts them off. We live off the sparkles, and we see a world of sparkles, but like the maggot we feast on the waste, not the beast.

    I say this not because I know some particular secret about the universe. But because I know a few particular secrets about the mind of man and the consistency of errors he makes. And just how difficult it is to circumvent those errors in each great leap forward.

  • YES, MATHEMATICS IS TAUGHT AS FICTION: “LET US TEACH EVERYONE A VERY INTERESTING

    YES, MATHEMATICS IS TAUGHT AS FICTION: “LET US TEACH EVERYONE A VERY INTERESTING AND IMPORTANT LESSON VIA MR JOHN BLACK.”

    —“Mathematical fictionalism is more tenable than mathematical platonism.”—Melvin Davila Martinez

    “There are no such things as abstract objects?

    Prove it.” — John Black

    The verb ‘to-be’ = ‘exists’. (is, are, was, were, be, being, been) It is the most ‘irregular’ verb in the english language. Irregular means ‘fungible’. In other words, it is the least precise verb in the english language. It allows us to ‘cheat’, and save both thinking and words, and to claim authority rather than subjectivity, by circumventing the process of constructing the existence of the referent.

    Example:

    The cat is black = i see a cat, and the cat looks like the color black to me.

    The first is both a verbal shortcut, a testimony of one’s honesty, and an appeal to authority by a definitive statement, which can only POSSIBLY be a subjective statement.

    The same applies to the use of the word ‘number’ which is an irregular NOUN – that like the most irregular VERB ‘to be’, allows us to ‘cheat’, and save thinking and words, by circumventing the process of constructing the existence of the referent. the natural numbers refer to a set of names for quantities of anything we choose to categorize.

    But everything else we call a ‘number’ is, like the verb ‘to-be’ a pretense, since a number, including fractional representation using numbers, refers to the name of a quantity, whereas all other referents are the result of operations: FUNCTIONS, not numbers.

    So let us scientifically test this statement:

    “There are no such things as abstract objects.”

    …. which translates to ….

    “There [exist] no such [referents] as [non-existent] [referents]”

    To which the answer is:

    “There exist constant relations between constant relations.”

    which is a tautology. In other words, its meaningless.

    Why? Because what is a measurement? A measurement is a unitary quantity of constant relations. And what is a number? the name of a constant relation of quantities.

    Do constant relations exist? Yes, we call this ‘determinism’ in the scientific ( not philosophical) sense: that the universe operates by a set of constant relations we call ‘laws’ that we must only discover. If the universe did not operate by constant relations thought would be impossible, since that is the function of memory: to identify constant relations, and test inconstant relations.

    So do constant relations exist? Yes. We name those constant relations by the use of names that we call numbers, and functions that we reduce to the symbolic equivalent of numbers.

    But all that ‘exists’ are constant relations. Mathematics currently consists of a large set of verbal myths and parables by which we reduce complex sequences of consistent operations upon a unitary measure of constant relations.

    In other words, when we say Christianity or Aristotelianism, we give a name to a complex set of undefined operations. When we speak in much of mathematical language we do the same.

    Why? Because the human mind uses mathematics as a symbolic store of constant relations beyond which our perceptions are able to discern, and beyond which our short term memories are capable of holding. So we speak in the language of manipulating the symbols and begin to treat those symbols as existential rather than as names for the set of constant relations and constant operations that they refer to.

    ANY TESTIMONIAL STATEMENT (ANY STATEMENT IN WHICH YOU CLAIM TO CONSTRUCT A TRUTH PROPOSITION) THAT CONTAINS THE VERB TO BE, MUST BE TESTED AS A POTENTIAL ACT OF FRAUD, BECAUSE EACH SUCH STATEMENT IS A FRAUD CANDIDATE, SINCE ANY TESTIMONIAL STATEMENT CAN BE STATED WITHOUT THE VERB TO BE WITH GREATER DEFENSE AGAINST CONFLATION, SUBSTITUTION, SUGGESTION, AND DECEIT.

    Almost all philosophical questions that we normally find irresolvable are dependent upon the use of the verb to be to create appeal to authority through the use of confusion and incommensurability by acts of polymorphism by the use of conflation, substitution, suggestion, loading (moral distraction) and deceit (counter-factual loading).

    In other words MATHEMATICAL FICTIONALISM truthfully and scientifically describes the ‘story’ or ‘mythology’ of mathematics. When we speak in the names of heroes, and refer to myths and legends, and use these parables as methods of decidability in the face of a kaleidic universe, we are ‘calculating’ using symbolic referents and operations. Just as when we claim that the square root of two exists, when it cannot, since we refer to a constant relation that cannot be reduced to a constant relation without a context to provide the information supplied by context: what mathematicians call ‘limits’ or ‘decidability’ or ‘the axiom of choice’.

    Mathematics is to Programming, what Rationalism is to Empiricism: a smaller set of properties. Mathematics functions as a language for the expression of constant relations greater than the constant relations we can express by other means.

    Mathematics is spoken in terms of mythology, but computer science is not. This is what separates the imaginary and mythological, from the existential, and computable.

    Programming tests mathematics. Because functions exist, because operations exist. Everything else refers to some complex set of constant relations we give a name to: a function: a sequence of existentially possible operations.

    Thus endeth the lesson.
