I must be too out of the loop. :). Logical. But what is going in here that I dont understand. This stuff happens due to opportunity or weakness.
Anyone?

WHITS SINGLE MOTHER POVERTY STATS
“For the first time since 1975, the number of white single-mother households who were living in poverty with children, surpassed or equaled black ones in the past decade, spurred by job losses and faster rates of out-of-wedlock births among whites. White single-mother families in poverty stood at nearly 1.5 million in 2011, comparable to the number for blacks. Hispanic single-mother families in poverty trailed at 1.2 million.”
White crime rates are increasing at about the same rate hispanic crime is decreasing.

The purpose of democratic representative government is to provide legitimacy for the form of corruption preferred by the majority.
The irony is that there isnt, and never has been, any need for majority rule. Think about how absurd it is. The choice of going to war is possibly the exception. But that majority rule should or need determine either law or the use of tax money is logically ridiculous.
There is no more reason to force us to all agree on where to place street lamps this year than there is for us to agree on which brand tuna fish to eat.
Its ridiculous.
The greeks put in place extended enfranchisement so that their ruler could stack the government. The british so that the middle class could take control of government. The americans so that the lower class and women could at least try to control government.
But democratic representative government using majority rule is just a means of legitimizing one form of corruption or another.
The absurdity is that with modern communication technology there isn’t any reason for representative government at all.
So we have pervasive corruption without any reason.
No reason whatsoever.

Unfortunately, the only efficient way of expressing philosophical ideas as neces
Unfortunately, the only efficient way of expressing philosophical ideas as necessities is to structure them as syllogisms as the greeks did, or as riddles – as Lao Tsu was a master of.
The only way to express scientific statements is through operational language. Because correlation between actions and facts, and therefore between theory and actions that determine facts, is the test of operational language. Without which causal relations are indeterminate.
The only way to express human actions as necessary is praxeologically. Because the equivalent of logical non contradiction is the test of rational incentives.
Unfortunately, instead of a necessary test, praxeology was proposed as a system of apodeictic certainty from which deductions could likewise be certain.
There are two problems with that approach. The fist is the problem that plagues any logical system, which is that such certainty requires completeness. The second is the completeness is impossible. The impossibility of completeness is what causes the apparent paradoxes in mathematics and the first order logic of set theory.
The problem that causes a separation of mathematics and logic from science in socio-economics occurs largely due to the use of symbolic proxies without accompanying statements that are articulated in praxeological or operational language: there is a very great difference between “given a set … “, and describing how to create a set of anything, including linguistic permutations.
As for absurdities of logic, assuming a finite universe, or even an actionably finite universe, any category we name thereby defines the remainder. Any set diminishes the remainder. And all contradictions are tautologies.
For these reasons science has displaced both philosophy and logic. It has not displaced mathematics, because math can be used in the context of natural science and therefore externally constrained by context.
Likewise the only way to externally bind logic and philosophy to reality is to require use of operational language.
And the operational language of human action is constructed through praxeological expression. Praxeology exposes all statements to sympathetic testing. Without praxeological expression any statement is platonic: not real.

CANADIAN LAW ON RECORDING POLICE
1) There is no law in Canada that prevents a member of the public from taking photographs or video in a public place (other than some limitations related to sensitive defense installations);
2) There is no law in Canada that prevents a member of the public from taking photographs or video of a police officer executing his or her duties in public or in a location lawfully controlled by the photographer (in fact, police officers have no privacy rights in public when executing their duties);
3) Preventing a person from taking photos or video is a prima facie infringement of a person’s Charter rights;
4) You cannot interfere with a police officer’s lawful execution of his or her duties, but taking photos or videos does not, in and of itself, constitute interference;
5) A police officer cannot take your phone or camera simply for recording him or her, as long as you were not obstructing;
6) These privileges are not reserved to media — everyone has these rights;
7) A police officer cannot make you unlock your phone to show him or her your images; and
8) A police officer cannot make you delete any photos.
Canadians might hate white males, but aside from that they get a few things right. 🙂

http://www.propertarianism.com/tools-and-techniques-for-political-debate/a-list-of-terms-for-use-in-evaluating-political-debate/CAPTCHA FOR REASON NOT RECOGNITION
I’m going to add this to my Quora signature because it seems like I use it in every debate:
“**So, you mean that you don’t understand, and can’t formulate an objection, so you will retreat into your ignorance, because you are operating on belief and not reason. Right?***”
Quora WAS interesting. But it’s degrading into just another Yahoo Forums / Internet Newsgroups. The useful thing about wikipedia is that the damned syntax prohibits casual editing by idiots.
We use CAPTCHA for proving you’re human. It’s a trivial Turing Test for recognizing letters and numbers. But to improve debate, we need an equivalent system to test not for RECOGNITION but for REASON.
I have to think about that a bit. Is there a way to generate random syllogisms that distinguish between sentimental, allegorical, normative (moral), historical, empirical, rational and ratio-empirical?
Just think of the value that would add to online arguments. 🙂 Or rather, the value it would have in reducing online arguments. 🙂
See my categorization of arguments here:

Chechens In Russia
Cartels in Mexico
Turks in Germany
Pakistanis in Britain
The Mafia in Ukraine
African-Americans in America
One “DC Sniper” in Washington.
While all of these groups can create lawless areas within each country, and the government cannot act on it, because it demonstrates the powerlessness of the government in the face of organized violence, some groups are superior at organized violence than others. So policing only works against people who want to be policed. Think about that when you go to a court room and see a long line of people being punished for no other reason than administrative compliance because they live powerlessly on the financial margin. Or when you see a mom pulled over in a mini van for going three miles over the speed limit, while another area of town is battened down like a war zone because the police cannot afford to, and are not willing to, protect it.
If you can make the police officers and or judges afraid of you, then you can take over any country. A little at a time.
The question is only whether you can organize effectively or not. And CLANS are very effective means of organization (Chechens). But you can also organize by religion, or commercial interest. The difference is the incentives: a clan has an incentive that is immutable, religions are weaker, and commercial interests are weakest. Yet It’s easier to form commercial organizations and harder to form clans.
The question is only whether you choose to support the state or not. If you choose to undermine it. THen a small organization of any kind will rapidly make an area ungovernable.

PROPERTARIANISM AND MULTI-CULTURAL IMMIGRATION
(This is an outline of the propertarian case against multiculturalism. )
People are different from livestock, goods, services, technologies and recipes – unless they’re slaves that is. I can keep, slaughter or abandon livestock, choose to consume or ignore goods and services, use or ignore technologies and recipes. And immigrants consume opportunity, commons, norms, traditions and laws by competing with them. any norm that increases high trust is an increase in shareholder assets. Any that doesn’t is a loss of shareholder assets.
Im a libertarian. But any group with the same family structure, norms, values and myths, indistinguishable from kin is a corporation for the purpose of shared production and reproduction in a race against the red queen: the dark forces of time, ignorance and malthusian limits.
And the introduction of competitors is just theft of shareholder assets. Any economic benefit produced independent of the impact on high trust norms is noise, not signal, and simply a means of using positivism to obscure theft and involuntary transfer from one group to another against their wishes.
We compete in the market for goods and services despite in-group (in-kin) competition for resources as universally morally objectionable.
Immigration without adoption of language, norms, family structure, myths, traditions, values, laws, is not non-neutral. It is a high cost. High trust norms that facilitate risk taking in the production of goods an services are the highest cost infrastructure that any group can possess.
Immigration without conformity, and voting prior to conformity, is in fact, theft. It is violent conquest by the use of the violence of the state against the shareholders in the corporation of high trust norms.
This isn’t allegory. This is just logical necessity, supported with difficult to measure but empirically demonstrable fact.
Immigration into a high trust society without mandatory and managed normative enforcement is simply systemic theft and the destruction of cultural (human) capital. Immigration of people into a high trust society of people who share those values is just an increase in kin, and only a net negative if it affects the wages of existing shareholders.(Citizens).
