    Not into the creepy things at all. Not really even too much into the young women thing despite appearances.

    But I find it warms my kin-selection heart to see all these young Ukrainian girls dressed as ladies and acting like it.

    The Conservative sentiment favors the excellence of the tribe. I will gladly sacrifice for the good of my kin.

    And I resist sacrifice for non-kin.

    Cooperation is mutually beneficial. But sacrifice is not. And dysgenia is the the last thing one should be costs to construct.

    That statement of preference is my contribution to the division of perception cognition knowledge and labor.

    **I love that man. Really.** I interpret the data completely differently.

    That difference is because I was there as a very young participant when we made the conservative strategic decision in the 1970’s to produce the conflict that we have today.

    A HIERARCHY OF TRUTHS

    (worth repeating)

    A hierarchy of truth tests:

    True enough to imagine a conceptual relationship

    True enough for me to feel good about myself.

    True enough for me to take actions that produce positive results.

    True enough for me to not cause others to react negatively to me.

    True enough to resolve a conflict without subjective opinion among my fellow people with similar values.

    True enough to resolve a conflict without subjective opinion across different peoples with different values.

    True regardless of all opinions or perspectives.

    Tautologically true: in that the two things are equal.

    HUMAN BIO-DIVERSITY: “The study of heritable human genetic differences and the variation in distribution of those differences within human populations that show affinity for one another. And where those affinities express themselves as political, social, familial, and personal institutions, behaviors, abilities and preferences. And where those expressions of differences have economic, institutional, and normative consequences, and where those consequences cause economic and political competition and conflict. HBD is an attempt to understand the source of differences in modes and methods of human cooperation due to biological and normative differences.” – Curt Doolittle

  • TRUTHFULNESS AND TRUTH (h/t Francesco Principi) Honesty does depend on the indiv

    http://www.propertarianism.com/2015/05/29/definitions-truth/HONESTY, TRUTHFULNESS AND TRUTH

    (h/t Francesco Principi)

    Honesty does depend on the individual’s abilties, yes.

    – Truthfulness is a skill because man evolved to lie and negotiate, not to tell the truth – truth telling is expensive.

    – The ‘truth’ refers to a description that is ultimately parsimonious without being tautological (a name). And we can never know we speak the truth.

    We can know we speak truthfully, and we can know we speak honestly. But others cannot know you speak honestly (without questioning:falsifying), only that you speak truthfully: that your testimony is constructed to be free of error, imagination, bias and deceit. None of us can know we speak the truth, even if we speak it, because there is always more information available in the future.

    We use the word “True” very frequently, just like the word “is” but almost none of us can state in operational terms (existentially possible terms) what those two words mean. We use them as uncomprehended norms, not as truthful (warrantied) terms.

    So as much as everyone would like to confuse honesty with truth, and due diligence as truth, honesty, diligent testimony, and the truth are three very different things.

    Just as deduction, induction and abduction are very different things.



    FROM http://www.propertarianism.com/2015/05/29/definitions-truth/



    [D]EFINITIONS OF TRUTH.

    [T]RUTH: That testimony (description) you would give, if your knowledge (information) was complete, your language was sufficient, stated without error, cleansed of bias, and absent deceit, within the scope of precision limited to the context of the question you wish to answer; and the promise that another possess of the same knowledge (information), performing the same due diligence, would provide the same testimony.

    [T]RUTHFULNESS: that testimony (description) you give if your knowledge (information) is incomplete, your language is insufficient, you have performed due diligence in the elimination of error and bias, and warranty free of deceit; within the scope of precision limited to the question you wish to answer; and which you warranty to be so; and the promise that another possess of the same knowledge (information), performing the same due diligence, would provide the same testimony.

    [H]ONESTY: that testimony (description) you give with full knowledge that knowledge is incomplete, your language is insufficient, but you have not performed due diligence in the elimination of error and bias, but which you warranty is free of deceit; within the scope of precision limited to the question you wish to answer; and the promise that another possess of the same knowledge (information), performing the same due diligence, would provide the same testimony.

    [I]ntuition: (sentimental expression) – an uncritical, uncriticized, response to information that expresses a measure of existing biases (priors).

    [P]reference (rational expression) : a justification of one’s biases (wants).

    [O]pinion: (justificationism) – a justified uncritical statement given the limits of one’s knowledge about external questions.

    [P]osition: (criticism) – a theoretical statement that survives one’s available criticisms about external questions.

    [D]emonstrated Preference: – Evidence of intuition, preference, opinion, and position as demonstrated by your actions, independent of your statements.

    STATISTICS DON”T LIE? QUITE THE OPPOSITE

    And quite the contrary: statistics are not operational statements, but mere correlations in which the operations must be assumed or deduced by the application of the observer’s cognitive bias. In other words, statistics are easily used as pseudoscientific pseudo-moral statements with which to activate the observer’s cognitive biases.

    So, it would be more accurate to say that non-operationally stated, all statistics are lies.

    That is the empirical evidence anyway. Statistics are largely used to lie.

    All of Keynesian economics is statistical. Because if it was stated operationally none of us would tolerate the policy that is produced by it.

    TRUTH: WHY IS PROPERTARIANISM DIFFERENT?

    Because while a number of other philosophers have come to the conclusion that all we must do is tell the truth, no other philosopher has told you how you can tell the truth: by speaking truthfully: by providing the warranty that you have performed due diligence on any speech that you place into the informational and normative commons. And by describing precisely how you can perform that due diligence.

    GUNS: TIME FOR REFORM, BUT NOT OF GUNS

    (feminist ideology trigger warning)

    THE DEFINITIVE ANSWER

    It certainly means that people taking brain altering chemicals should be required to put them in storage for the duration. So far, it looks like the primary difference between American ‘shooters’ and others, is that an absurd amount of Americans are taking various brain altering chemicals for various forms of depression. And that they have this depression and are taking those chemicals for the simple reason that American culture produces intolerable loneliness in exchange for extraordinary levels of personal consumption.

    – The Absolute Nuclear Family creates the potential for loneliness.

    – Internal Migration of people to capital rather than capital to people creates loneliness.

    – Normatively diverse schools create conflict in youth.

    – Normative diversity creates conflict in life.

    – Access to political power under capitalism rewards normative diversity, cultural diversity and genetic diversity, and conflict.

    Blame: Socialists, Economists: the prioritization of monetary consumption over familial insurance, and Feminists: the prioritization of feminism over family bonds and insurance.

    Women are the world’s consumers, and they created consumerism because they cannot resist the nesting impulse, any more than an addict can resist his fix. And women prefer permissive motherhood rather than normative constraint motherhood, because it is much more work to raise your child to be a competitive, productive and cooperative member of society than it is to not train your child to be so.

    Labor was a trivial problem. Women were the reason for the decline of western civilization.

    It’s painful. It’s impolitic. But it’s true. Period.
