    WE HAD EPISTEMOLOGY BACKWARD

    Instances of Deduction(informationally sufficient) like instances of Apriorism(survives non-contradiction) occur only as a special case of hypothesizing. And hypotheses occur as a special case of overlapping ‘search results’ (free association). Once we identify a possible search result we criticize it by trying first to justify it (find a potential route to it), and then try to refine that route (test it). This act of refining sometimes results in questionable, sometimes in reasonable, sometimes rational, sometimes in logical, and sometimes in mathematical justifications (potential routes).

    There is but one universal method and it consists of:

    Free association > Pattern

    Wayfinding mental criticism > Hypothesis,

    Experimental criticism > Theory,

    Practical criticism > Law

    Perfect Parsimony > Name

    Dear Doctor Seidman,

    Let me help you understand. As someone who feels weak and collectivist, you think the constitution constrains us from collective action.

    But you misunderstand. The constitution is the terms under which those of us who are not weak, and not collectivist, agree not to kill, rob and enslave you.

    Why? Because cooperation is even more materially rewarding than killing, robbing and enslaving.

    So, lest you misunderstand: If you violate natural law, which the constitution weakly attempts to construct as an existential order of men, then you break the contract between the weak (you) and the strong (we), and as such we are no longer bound by self-interest to refrain from killing, robbing, and enslaving you.

    You confuse your moral intuition – a reflection of your weakness – with truth – that all our moral intiutions reflect nothing but our reproductive strategies. And that only voluntary cooperation free of parasitism is in the interest of the strong. It is the weak who must negotiate.

    USA has a resource curse also. It has land it can sell to immigrants to fund an extraordinary military.

    We were better off with 13 colonies.

    No government may take an irreversible action. Conversely any action a government takes is likewise reversible by that government.

    Ergo, Immigration Act = Deportation Act

    (cultural observations)

    The seasons turned, and Fall started today in Ukraine. It’s cold. The heat is on. The parking places are all taken but the streets are not busy. People are wearing jackets. Young couples are cuddling in one of my favorite restaurants.

    I’d sort of sworn off women for a while, but I’m too much of a cuddly person. Just can’t be happy without it. 🙂

    The ultimate life seems to be catching the fall foliage in New England, and then the Florida palms in winter. You can’t really do that here in Europe.
