    MADNESS

    American foreign policy is predicated on self determination. People can choose what government they want. But the Americans will hold the government accountable to a variety of standards – including consumer capitalism, and human rights. Assuming a country moves in both of those directions, or at least doesn’t regress against them, there isn’t a policy problem.

    If the government is ‘bad’ then even if the people select it and want it, obviously something is not right, so the government can be replaced.

    But this is confusing, and unnecessary. First, it’s a two step process. We tell people ‘you have freedom to choose what you want, but don’t choose badly.’ Except we don’t tell them what bad is. And we don’t tell them not to choose it, or we’ll blow up their entire country.

    Secondly, there isn’t a lot of evidence that people use democracy wisely. In fact, it looks pretty much the opposite. So our whole self determination and democracy fetish turns out to, scientifically anyway, be wrong.

    For example, African and Muslim tribes have used democracy to legitimize taking power to oppress other tribes. Sometimes to commit genocide.

    Even, and especially here at home. In america, democracy is just a means of conquering the Protestants.

    It’s no different in America. Not at all. It’s just legal violence rather than physical violence.

    What’s the difference?

    There isn’t any.

    “[AMERICAN] FEMINISM IS A HATE MOVEMENT”

    Not sure I want to go that far. But it’s good propaganda for the men’s rights movement.

    I’m a libertarian and I support equal rights FOR EVERY SINGLE HUMAN BEING. But that isn’t american feminism’s goal. It’s goal is either communism and socialism: that women can appropriate men’s assets via the state. And we even have a woman on our supreme court who supports that view.

    But, I don’t see that ‘kinda feminism over here. Feminism means equal legal rights. It means the right to be the most amazing woman you can be. It doesn’t mean ‘we hate men’. In America, at least for Generations 1-3 it means ‘hate men’.

    Sad. Very sad. Because feminism destroyed the family in the lower classes. Killed it. And poverty is running at an expanding rate in its wake.

    Equal rights are not ‘privileges’ or socialism. That’s just theft.

    If you demonstrate a gender bias in the work place you’re an idiot. All people in the market are the color of whatever currency you use.

    http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2013/08/19/hiring-the-well-connected-isnt-always-a-scandal/?_r=2IN FAVOR OF NEPOTISM AND CRONYISM

    But by and large, financial firms in particular commonly hire people who have certain connections, whether through family or a business relationship. The thinking is that the new hire — and his or her last name — might “help open doors,” Mr. Driscoll said. But, like many people I interviewed on this topic, he did not see a legal issue with such hires. “I don’t think there is a quid pro quo,” such that the hiring of children is explicitly generating business from the parent. At best, he said, “It gets you in the room.” He added: “It’s like chicken soup. It can’t hurt.”

    Actually, I encourage it. The reason being, that I like a) a family to have all the eggs in our basket, and b) it builds more trust – as long as the company is transparent. (And since I only build transparent companies, that’s not a problem.)

    NATURALISM AND MARGINAL INDIFFERENCE AS PROPERTARIAN MORALITY

    In the discipline of law, the jury determines guilt or innocence. This is irrespective of your guilt or innocence. We can deduce your guilt or

    innocence. We can justify your guilt or innocence. But without OBSERVABLE DEMONSTRATION we cannot DEMONSTRATE your guilt or innocence. It is just true in the ABSENCE of observable demonstration because we say so – because we agree.

    In the discipline of math, the accepted practice, is that .999… = 1. This is irrespective of the fact that it is impossible to construct 1 from .9999999… There is no numeric operation that we can perform to do so. We can only DEDUCE it, or claim it.

    We can create arguments. We can create deductions. But we cannot operationally create the number 1 from .999… by the process of addition or subtraction: which is in fact, the basis of all mathematics.

    So if I can get a bunch of people to agree that all people named ‘Brian’, are hosts of demons and should be put to death, then I can have all ‘Brian’s’ put to death. Or if I can get a bunch of people to test whether Brian is telling the truth by seeing if he sinks in a lake, then, if he floats (survives) he is lying.

    I think that is Brian’s argument. Which, of course, is exactly what I’ve been saying. Math can do so, because it is irrelevant. Mathematics is marginally indifferent to more important disciplines. The test of true DEDUCTION is marginal indifference to the outcome. The test of truth existence, is OPERATIONAL (causal) CONSTRUCTION.

    Postmodernism is predicated on the very principle that Brian is advocating: that truth is what we agree it is, not what is independently of our agreement. Not what is OPERATIONALLY and SCIENTIFICALLY true, but what is consensually true – by language.

    A theory can NEVER be true. An operation cannot be false. it just IS. Mathematical operations cannot be false. Mathematical theories (deductions) can NEVER be true.

    Mathematics is responsible for the the creation of the worlds most dangerous religion since Zoroaster invented law of the gods. Math has reinvented magic. And Brian is an acolyte of that religion.

    ’tis how it ’tis. ’tis an inescapable box.
