A very wise woman here in L’viv has advised me that Ukrainians do not want to solve their problems, but just to feel that there is a solution so that they can do nothing and wait for someone else to solve it. And that sounds VERY Ukrainian to me.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTbBXZGPS58RESPONSE TO THE SCHIZOTYPAL LUNATIC FRINGE
I always respond to attacks when I find out about them. I just wish some of them were worth responding to. (the nietzcheans have provided the only meaningful criticism to date).

NOTES ON AUDIO
1) It is irrelevant how many people listen, it’s only relevant who listens. There is a large audience for astrology.
2) There is a vast difference between the set (pedagogical, useful, meaningful) on the one hand, and the set (true, necessary, decidable) on the other. The first consists of literature and informs on a strategy, the second consists of law and decides conflicts regardless of strategy.
3) Ideologies and World-views (Excuses for evolutionary strategies). We seek justification for our strategies. that is all.
4) The french revolution provides an exception not a rule: it was the most backward government in Europe. The British had revolutions frequently, because the never had as much asymmetry as the french. The Russian and British and Chinese are far better examples since they are frequent and less reductio out of extremity.
5) the american experiment comes closest to creating formal, strictly constructed law as a social science of cooperation: natural law as a peer to physical law.
6) Democracy in the ancient and in the modern world was an excuse by which to transfer power from the landed aristocracy to the commercial aristocracy using the families of the soldiery necessary to hold territory. Bribe with political power rather than enfranchisement into property rights.
7) (35:00 So far nothing jay says is causal its all justificationary – life is much more rich, more to experience, more to philosophy. this is despite the fact that he does not say why these things have any import other than taking a carnival ride is more interesting than studying the structure of the ride. I am sitting through literary excuse making, straw man arguments, and self congratulatory use of critique. It’s painful. This is an example ‘mumbo-jumbo’ if there is any. Critique is NOT science (truth). )
8) I (curt doolittle) am a social scientists who attempts to construct law. I use the language of philosophy at the indirect advice of Hoppe. if i seek to unite truth, philosophy, science, and law, then I use the ancient disciplinary tree.
9) That you don’t think I”m that good isn’t a measure of anything. That you think its bad and laughable is (humorous). OMG it’s embarrassing to listen to this name calling and marxist critique rather than refuting ideas (that you are not intellectually capable or informed sufficiently to understand)
10) Decidability is the end of the road for law. Just as it is for science. You would need to refute that statement.
11) Stephan is a public intellectual, engaged in the use of reason. whether he is a philosopher or not, is a question. He has tried and failed to produce a theory. (Just as you seem to be trying to produce some theory, although all I see is marxist critique: criticizing what you don’t agree with but providing no theory that is equally open to criticism. This is a common method of deceit. It is how marxism attack the west: through pseudo-scientific critique.
12) The rule of law is what we are investigating in libertarianism. Is law enough? can we make law into a sufficient social science so that all ethical and political statements are decidable ‘moral’ (non-parasitic).
13) Aristotle uses reason, which is different from rationalism, which is different from logic, is different from science. (OMG this podcast is embarrassing to listen to.)
14) Use the word ‘True’ without understanding what it might, can, and must mean. Critique, critique, critique, critique… all I hear. No argument yet. nothing. completely vacuous empty verbalisms.
15) Reason is the process by which we launder imaginary relations, error, bias, wishful thinking, deception, overloading, from our free associations, where those free associations are provided by our intuition, and where that intuition is biased heavily by our genetics, gender, and experiences.
16) omg… reason, energy, senses. omfg. this is …. embarrassing. I really have to spend time on this empty verbalism? On this Marxist Critique? This guy uses a bunch of postmodern nonsense words.
17) We can say that experiential relations are a preference, not a truth. But then we have to ask where do the wights we assign to those experiential relations come from? It comes from chemical rewards provided by our evolutionary history and encoded in our genes.
18) TRUTH: if you cannot construct an operational description of your terms and fully account for the information present in your statements then you are not able to make a truth claim. This is simply true. Period.
19) The scientific method is a set of steps by which we eliminate error, bias, wishful thinking, deceit from your utterances. Science is the method of by which we produce testimony.
20) Empiricism means that all knowledge that survives criticism by reason originates in senses. (Observation). We say that MEASUREMENT is a method of insuring that our senses contain the least error, bias, wishful thinking, and deceit.
21) We (scientists) dont make knowledge claims (only justifications do that and they all error). We give testimony. Meaning that we testify that we have eliminated error, bias, wishful thinking, and deceit from our statements to the best of our ability.
22) The purpose of experientially loaded literature is to EDUCATE, INFORM, AND ASSIST IN HYPOTHESIS. The purpose of science is to remove experiential loading, framing, obscuring, imaginary content, error, bias, and deceit from those hypotheses.
23) The error is in that one or the other survives exclusively (I don’t make this error). It is that pedagogy and experience are individual matters, and decidability and truth are interpersonal matters. In other words you are welcome to your experiences as long as we are not in conflict. If we are in conflict then only truth renders conflicts decidable.
24) Why must conflict be decidable? Because cooperation is disproportionately rewarding and we cannot cooperate if our contractual relations are not decidable by objective (true) means.
CONCLUSION
This is the answer you are failing to grasp: the dual need for both individual experience VS interpersonal decidability.
CRITICISM AND REFRAMING
1) You are an excuse-maker. What I have seen in this discourse is nothing other than a) a failure to articulate a theory, b) the constant demonstration of seeking confirmation bias in analogies and c) the use of critique to criticize the opposition, and d) the use of ridicule.
You have a lot of viewers because there are a lot of idiots who need similar justification for their incomprehension. (Dunning-Kruger at Work). It is a desperate attempt to find will-to-power by finding a way to excuse one’s inability to grasp abstract relations independent of intuitionistic weightings. This ability is what separates less intelligent from more intelligent people.
2) Molyneux is a communicator. He has a lot of viewers because even if imperfect, he is an educator. He educates. And honestly he is great at it.
3) I am a scientist. I don’t care about the number of viewers, I just care about whether I advance the discipline of truth telling. So far I have made more progress than anyone other than Popper and Hume. The purpose of public discourse is to attempt to falsify my theories: to see if they survive criticism.
THE SCHIZOTYPAL PERSONALITY
This is a waste of my time. I made it through 1:12:00 before I tired of the mental equivalent of conspiracy theory. There is a very clear relationship between mental illness (schizotypal thinking) and this desperate need to feel confidence in one’s thinking despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
So Jay earns the Curt Doolittle Stamp of Schizotypal Personality by attempting to use selection bias and loose analogy absent causal relations in order to justify his in ability to alter his framing to that of the universal language of truth: science. Why? Because confronting that reality would force him to recognize his lower status and abandon the self deception of mental superiority. This is again, evidence of Schizotypal personality traits. Judgement rendered. It is how it is.

(I just realized that for all of school and university I only liked the social circumstance – it was a calm safe social place – but I generally ignored the teachers and professors and just read the books, and couldn’t’ care less about the tests. There are only two professors I felt I learned anything from (rhetoric, and political science). The rest were just discussion leaders. I learned everything from books and almost nothing from people. )

WHY IS THERE WHITE TRASH?
—Curt: Can you explain the whole white trash phenomenon? How can a country so wealthy and full of opportunities have white trash? I anticipate that your answer is likely to be “it’s all IQ” or something along these lines, but aren’t there opportunities for dumb people as well?—-
“All happy families are the same. All unhappy families are different”
“All domesticate-able animals are the same. All un-domesticate-able animals are different”
“All ‘good’ people are the same, all ‘bad’ people are different”
IQ is correlative, but insufficient explanation for cause. But personality is sufficient.
If we take all these variables:
Visualization challenged vs Visualization/spatial intelligence
Communication challenged vs Verbal intelligence
autistic vs solipsistic
introversion vs extroversion
constancy vs novelty
disciplined vs undisciplined
secure/calm vs nervous/sensitive
compassionate/cooperative vs suspicious/antagonistic
Impulsivity vs non-impulsivity
submissive vs aggressive
With just these variables, we humans have the ability to construct cooperative, disciplined and satisfied minds, or aggressive, undisciplined and unsatisfied minds.
The reason people in the bottom classes are generally difficult to employ MIGHT be intelligence, but all research I have read of late (when we see pseudoscience slowly receding in social science) is pretty consistent in stating that the unemployable people are just ‘bad personalities’. Much of the time it is that they constantly get negative feedback for their behaviors, and this effectively drives all of us into frustration.
White trash is a minority in western civilization but in many cultures it’s the majority. Our culture systematically eliminated these people over many centuries. So they are smaller in number, but now rapidly breeding.
It’s not all IQ. It is just that IQ and ‘good’ behaviors very often increase accordingly. Or that IQ allows us to COMPENSATE for our bad behaviors while lack of it forces us to give into those bad behaviors.
INFORMATINO
I use the information model to study human behavior. And so I focus on the fact that all of these behaviors are constructed by the ability to organize and process information that gives us hormonal (chemical) rewards. Broken people have less ability to gain psychic rewards. Healthy people have more opportunity to gain psychic rewards.
Each of us has a frustration budget.
People at the bottom burn through that budget pretty frequently.
you can have a dumb person with all good traits, and a smart person with all bad traits. It just isn’t that common.

ON THE PSEUDOSCIENTIFIC ACADEMY’S SPECIALIZATION
I think Group Evolutionary Strategy is an empirical science.
I think Political Orders (informal and formal institutions) evolve to facilitate group evolutionary strategies.
I think all groups demonstrate a individual productivity, the production of reproduction (families), the production of goods and services, the production of commons, and the production of group evolutionary strategy in competition against other groups.
I think formal (institutional) economics studies one form of the three methods of influence: invention, investment, production distribution, trade, and consumption. And that this discipline studies largely the production of commons.
I think economics does not study the two other (necessary) methods of organizing human behavior: threat/force/law, and threat/exclusion/religion-myth-narrative-ideology. The three threats of deprivation are threat of harm, threat of loss of consumption, threat of loss of cooperation.
I think studying any set of formal or inform institutions in isolation leads to selection bias, confirmation bias.
I think economics, like democratic secular humanism, like individualism over familialism, like consumption over group competitiveness is providing a destructive influence on western civilization and is more responsible for the decline in the institutions of western civilization than feminism, more than socialism, and is second only to mass immigration in the damage done.
One can construct a pseudoscience by failing to follow the scientific method, yet claiming that one does. However, one can also construct a pseudoscience by not understanding the scientific method (laundering imaginary relations, error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, overloading, and deceit) and failing to apply ALL its methods of preventing error bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, overloading, and deceit.
The scientific method requires we test for:
categorical consistency, logical consistency, empirical consistency, existential possibility (operationalism), full accounting, parsimony and limits, and in human affairs, morality: fully informed, productive, warrantied, voluntary transfer under which cooperation is rational and non parasitic.
The scientific method, much like the broken window fallacy, requires full accounting as a defense against demonstrating confirmation bias by the use of selection bias.
And therefore by not accounting for the changes in all forms of capital, including genetic, normative, familial, institutional, informational, economics simplifies the craft, and avoids full accounting, justifies consumption, and encourages the rapid destruction of genetic, normative, familial, institutional, and informational capital.
If a man ever says “but in economics we only study …” you have just seen a man engage in pseudoscience, just as much as a priest or mystic says “i only study the words of…” There is no difference.
Ergo I think that economics is a study of a subset of cooperation under the (false, unscientific, pseudoscientific) assumption that consumption is a ‘good’ rather than group competitiveness is a good. And I think economics (including those advocating liberty) has been complicity in the destruction of western group evolutionary strategy.
Why? I think coming to terms (as I have) with western group evolutionary strategy confirms the empirical basis of western civilization, but I also think that coming to terms with western group evolutionary strategy eliminates our ability to engage in that most (despicable) form of fraud: unearned virtue-signaling, which the academy and state so depend upon for mass support.
The west succeeded in developing faster than all other groups by upward redistribution of reproduction and the constant and relentless domestication of the underclasses through hanging, war, manorialism, and starvation.
The entry of women into the workforce and into the franchise reversed this strategy.
That is social science: group evolutionary strategy. Everything else is pseudoscience. And must be.

Nomocracy = Rule of law, common law, natural law, for the purpose of preventing retaliation (feuds).
Anarchism = libertinism. For the purpose of justifying free riding.
