    (I importing all the articles for 2015/2016 into Scrivener and organizing them by topic…. damn I write a LOT OF STUFF. About 100K words per quarter JUST on my website. I probably write half as much again … maybe more than that, that doesn’t end up there. And in Q1, on top of that 100K words, I wrote help for the product as well and that’s another 80K words. That’s insane. That’s like ‘an 80K word book a month’.)

    Given that we know that even the very stupid fool, the well meaning ignorant, well intentioned educated, the messianic, sociopathic, and psychopathic, do not always know that they are in fact doing ill, or even if doing evil, then how do any of us know we are good or evil?

    In my mind I try to do good. But how do we know?

    According to Montaigne, we never know we have lived a good life until the moment we die – since we can reverse it with a single action. Worse, he argues that we are most often criticized for the unintended consequences of our moral ambitions, but rarely for those evils we intend. Worse yet, the greater ambition you attempt the more spectacular can be the failure. (The Nazis, Napoleon and the Bolsheviks the most obvious examples.)

    I take bigger risks. most of them work. some of them don’t.

    How does one know?

    We cannot trust the opinions of others. We cannot trust our own opinions. How do we know?

    As far as I can tell, Bin Laden was successful in forcing the USA to invade, unifying his people against the west, and causing multiple revolutions against the status quo (weak fragmented states), in order to restore the islamic empire.

    That this will likely result in a combination of Iranian/northern and Arabian/southern core states (at least), and result in the invasion of the west by islam (despite our resistance for 1500 years) would likely thrill him as greater success than he’d intended.

    I can’t actually understand why you think a legacy of violence is somehow a ‘bad’ when that is islam’s central legacy, and something that they are as proud of as are the Russians and the Mongolians and the Chinese.

    Bin Laden won. The strategy worked. His work will be studied for centuries. God knows I study it.

  • I think once you understand what the Germans are doing the entire program is lit

    I think once you understand what the Germans are doing the entire program is little different from Christian mysticism.

    If we take each enlightenment culture and compare them we see that each attempts to employ a different argumentative technique.

    Of the different cultures, the most successful was the Cosmopolitan use of suggestion and pseudoscience combined with new media ( propaganda).

    Furthermore that each culture kept the form of media and reasoning that they employed when they reacted to the enlightenment.

    British moral. Smith/Hume.

    American legal. Jefferson.

    German literary. Kant.

    Cosmopolitan pseudoscientific. Freud/Marx/Boaz/cantor.

    The most successful and influential author was Keynes who took Marx’s pseudoscience and adapted it to mathematics.

    Keynes remains the most influential thinker of the 20th century.

    Our senses are limited because

    (a) sensory processing is expensive.

    (b) senses evolved to assist in action – without being too expensive

    (c) senses we cannot act upon are unnecessary expenses.

    (d) humans operate in groups and divide the responsibility of sensing, and that is a better way of increasing sensory power.

    Bad writing in science is forgivable.

    Bad writing in philosophy is understandable.

    Bad writing in history is tolerable.

    Bad writing in literature is unforgivable.

    Bad writing in advertising and marketing is unavoidable.

    Unfortunately, being well educated is synonymous with being thoroughly indoctrinated.

    Being well read in science, economics, and history can avoid that problem.

    The enlightenment was a failure because it merely tried to justify a change in power, and as such was incomplete. There was nothing wrong with the Anglo model other than our failure to understand it.
