    OK. Too much salt in the food last night. I had nightmares all night. Woke up with a headache. And I still managed to crank out a good idea. Now it’s time to go to the office and work on Oversing.

    We need ten more guys working on the product. At this point that’s all we need.

    TRUTH

    The question: how do we speak the truth, given any subset of properties of reality?

    “Truthful” – Testimonial Truth – A Warranty, but of what?

    1) meaningfully expressible ( hypothesis )

    2) internally consistent (logically consistent)

    3) externally correspondent ( physically testable )

    4) existentially possible (operational construction)

    5) voluntarily choose-able (voluntary exchange)

    6) market-survivable (criticism – theory )

    7) market irrefutable (law)

    8) irrefutable under original experience (True)

    The Warranty:

    I. *TRUE*: Assuming elimination of the barriers of time, space, scale, and observability, a promise that one would come to the same conclusion if equally truthful in his actions.

    II. *TRUTHFUL*: the criteria for such a warranty to be made.

    Criticism of Intellectual History:

    we have been obsessed with science and math rather than seeing them as simple subsets of the more complex problem. And in the west, we took truth telling for granted, when it is the first principle upon which all other western advances were made.

    THOUGHTS ON OPERATIONALISM AND FALSIFICATIONISM

    Still thinking because I can’t quite grasp ..hmm.. and I think it’s like falsification – that if an argument (a theory) isn’t falsifiable then it isn’t scientific. And that …. well, that something isn’t ‘scientific’ is a non-operational statement – its like saying it’s good or heavenly, but that doesn’t tell us anything. Internal consistency, external correspondence and existential possibility do tell us something.

    —“operationalise a concept likes suppression”–

    Damn…. finally… I know how to talk about it…. YAY!

    Thank you Ayelam Valentine Agaliba. For some reason you always give me the most helpful breadcrumbs…. the only people in this world worth anything in epistemology are CR’s.

    I am too under the weather this morning to write something meaningful. But I can now show that the way I am using operationalism is as a further extension of falsificationism for those cases where our sense and perceptions are sufficient for decidability (social sciences). Or I would invert it: that falsification is a lower standard of operationalism for those cases when our sense and perception are insufficient for decidability (the physical universe).

    Well that is a good way to start off a day even if it’s a day with a headache…

    Michael Phillip on Postmodernism

    –“Postmodernism (Pomo) is an intellectual blight, and a moral one. For, as Norman Geras has pointed out, if there is no truth, there is no justice. If there is no truth, there is also no heritage. Creating, in reaction to progressivist post-modernism, PoMo conservatives who are so unaware of the heritage they are supposed to be preserving that they actively undermine it. PoMo conservatism is another manifestation of the destructive intellectual and moral emptiness postmodernism’s attack on truth creates. A conservatism that is not founded in some strong sense of truth, heritage and consequence—but is mere attitude—is not merely pointless, it is vicious and destructive.”–

    http://www.cell.com/current-biology/pdfExtended/S0960-9822(14)01213-5CONSERVATIVES ARE MANKIND’S WARRIOR ANTS

    “We applied a machinelearning method to fMRI data to test the hypotheses that brain responses to emotionally evocative images predict individual scores on a standard political ideology assay. Disgusting images, especially those related to animal reminder

    disgust (e.g., mutilated body), generate neural responses that are highly predictive of political orientation even though these neural predictors do not agree with participants’ conscious rating of the stimuli. Images from other affective categories do not support such predictions. Remarkably, brain responses to a single disgusting stimulus were sufficient to make accurate predictions about an individual subject’s political ideology.”
