    ABRAHAMISM IN ITS CURRENT STATE

    Abrahamism consists of the continuous advancement of the female means of conflict and war: undermining, deceit, and exhaustive relentless diligence in seizing every opportunity to do so. It is the ‘gatherer’ and ‘herd’ strategy of continuous harm. Men tend not to do this, in-group. Instead men use threats of violence and organized violence.

    (Abrahamism, like Sovereignty, via-negativa Truth, The Grammars, and Natural Law are questions that will always require larger answers than people can easily absorb.)

    GETTING ANSWERS TO SUCH QUESTIONS

    – You can search my FB timeline by ‘curt doolittle abrahamism’. ( @[11019687:2048:Brandon Hayes] also keeps a long threads of related posts by all of us. I don’t think he keeps a ‘FB note’ listing those long posts as an index to his topic-posts, but if he does that would be a big help to people)

    – You can search the web site (it uses ElasticSearch now) by just entering ‘abrahamism’. My site is up to date through September first. I tend to update it once a quarter. Although I have gotten behind a number of times.

    WORK METHODOLOGY

    The way I work is by relating ideas across the spectrum in a series of shorter arguments – because I ‘whittle away’ at the stone so to speak, turning it to view it from different angles, working to gradually expose the figure (truth) below.

    I try to produce operational definitions in series, and to describe behavior as supply and demand using those series of definitions.

    Then I attempt to turn the fundamental insight into one or more aphorisms (summaries).

    Then to create a narrative that explains the topic and its applications.

    Then to weave these narratives together using the same constant language – this editing is what exhausts me and is why it takes me so long to produce a work.

    WORKFLOW

    I work from an outline of the complete scope of human thought.

    I work through the outline from metaphysics to group competitive strategy.

    Then I work with (many) sketches on FB. I move most of them to the web site.

    Then I collect the best of them into what I call ‘short courses’ or collections of posts.

    Then I take those ‘short courses’ and put them into the book.

    Then edit it all into an explanation.

    That’s my workflow.

    It’s actually painfully methodical. It just doesn’t look like it to the casual observer, because most people are desirous of rushing to judgment whereas i tend to exhaust a topic completely (very) before adding it to the canon. Then refine the network of concepts added to the canon once there.

    cheers.

    RE: Nassim Nicholas Taleb ON HIS IQ RANT

    I will still take this debate, but not interwoven with twitter-spam. (a) g measures what we attempt to measure (b) chance of success corresponds to a distribution of traits, plus the utility of those traits, in service of the population under the bell curve within 1 SD.

    Those of us with exceptional abilities favor working with our region of the bell curve – puzzles – that are of INDIRECT value rather than DIRECT value. WE HAVE KNOWN THIS FOR DECADES.

    Lastly, we go to university etc to avoid the marketplace (‘work’). This is the value of higher education: to provide a non-market means of identifying selection. In this sense your criticism is correct. In the sense that you’re criticizing IQ measurements, you’re WRONG …PERIOD.

    All of this is OLD NEWS. If you want to encourage people to prosper by pairing their skills to those necessary to serve the market that they understand, then yes. If you mean very bright people are fooled by sophism, innumeracy, pseudoscience – then yes.

    But likewise, just as it has taken you many years to migrate from the positivist search for mathematical discovery of units of informational prediction, to the demand for warranty of due diligence (falsification), you too are vulnerable to innumeracy, pseudoscience, ‘literature’.

  • “You are wedded to your jargon and do not care if the average person has a clue

    —“You are wedded to your jargon and do not care if the average person has a clue what you are talking about. Explaining it is fine, understand the jargon is another issue. You are in effect preaching to the converted.”—Steven Vandervelde (Criticizing John Mark and Propertarianism)

    We have been gaining more traction every year as the overton window moves closer to us. And enduring that same criticism all the while. Meanwhile we have produced a stream of people capable of practicing the discipline, in about the same time and effort required to get each level of university degree.

    We convert people daily. just ask them.

    John is the best at reaching larger numbers in a manner that they are comfortable with. This is neither my skill or ambition. We have planned on the emergence of talent as we evolve. it’s happening.

    It is a non trivial subject, as revolutionary in social science as as darwinism, larger than marxism/postmodernism, and cannot be understood any easier. While we can reduce marxism to class conflict and universal monopoly communism and reduce propertarianism to genetic conflict, conflict of civilizations, and universal market nationalism – polar opposites – that does not explain the vast difference between the underlying science and logic and method of propertarianism vs the lies, sophisms, and deceits, and denial, of marxism, postmodernism, feminism, and the abrahamic means of argumentative deceit.

  • TERMINOLOGY: NO SHORTCUT TO UNDERSTANDING One does not criticize either terminol

    TERMINOLOGY: NO SHORTCUT TO UNDERSTANDING

    One does not criticize either terminology or deviation from normative definitions, but instead, the precision of the definitions, such that we are free of opportunity for conflation, and subsequent error.

    Each field uses terminology particular to it, and propertarianism (law) uses universals (operational names in series) across all fields. In either case we define terms that eliminate the error and potential for error in colloquial speech (“ordinary language”).

    In other words no field is, can be, reduced to ordinary language without the introduction of the vast ignorance and error that separates ordinary language from scientific language.

    That is because the existence of, and market demands for science and scientific prose evolved precisely to compensate for the ignorance, error, bias, fictionalism, and deceit in ordinary language.

    And moreover, since propertarianism serves as the scientific language of social science – including history, economics, law, sociology, morality, ethics, psychology, and language itself – we are forcing into the political discourse the same adaptation as did the revolution in physical science: and with equally disruptive consequences to normative language, ideas, ideology, religion, and language of those disciplines.

    So the criticism that we should use the colloquial speech in our effort to change social sciences from sophisms and pseudoscience dependent upon intuition and projection, and monopoly and conformity, into a form of calculation as is used in the other sciences, and divisions of cognition and labor, and conditions of cooperation, competition, and war, is rather … ridiculous really.

    All systems of symbolic calculation whether they be the small difference between spoken language and written language, or great differences between spoken language, written language, arithmetic, accounting, geometry, the calculus, relativity, chemistry, biology, ecology, economics, require training.

    The great difference is that we are all more invested in our daily use of the psychological, social, and political, such that we defend those investments no matter how bad they are.

    Unfortunately the average idiot who will readily say he understands neither advanced mathematics, economics, or subatomic physics will not similarly question his understanding of ethics, morality, and politics – thereby demonstrating his lack of agency due to malinvestment and ignorance, and genetic, gender, class, cultural bias.

    Ergo, there is no shortcut to knowledge. Calculation is counter intuitive – particularly in intuitionistic subjects.

    SHOW PREP: AI. RPL.

    INITIAL:

    JF’s THEORY. ai..modification…biology..

    PART I.

    1. Fear of weapons – they will happen. As soon as the power to weight ratio is solved, Men are no longer much use.

    2. Fear of job displacement – we can compensate for most of it as long as we limit immigration.

    3. Limiting problems are cost/energy/chice-competition

    PART II. What I am unsure about and what I am sure about.

    UNSURE

    1. Unsure about limits of emergence as memory increases. Appears that symbolic recursive performs the same function at cost of state and precision, and increased demand for communication. Appears that consequent layers will produce same functionality without the information loss.

    SURE

    1. Continuous forecasting … of WHAT?

    2. Go, chess, checkers, are ‘simple’ problems.

    Speech recognition, driving, are simple problems.

    Adaptation to continuous problems is HARD.

    3. Decidability => Required => Intent

    Consciousness = Social/Moral

    Comprehensible – Human Action as Language (networks are not open to introspection).

    Property as Moral Calculation

    Hemispheric Competition

    4. Problem of discovery is not intelligence but testing ideas.

    Small number of fundamental innovations in the frame (darwin, einstein, menger, mathiness/probability/operations)

    Small number of fundamental methods of lying.

    5. Liability of human work doesn’t end. Nuclear devices, chemical weapons, hazardous chemicals etc.

    A VIKING CHRISTMAS STORY

    (edited)

    Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the village

    The men sharpened knives and the boys dreamt of pillage.

    The skulls were all hung by the chimney with care

    In hopes on the morrow, more would be there.

    The girls were nestled all snug in their beds,

    While visions of jewelry, danced in their heads.

    And mamma in her gown, and I in my shirt,

    Had just caught our breath from a quick winter’s flirt.

    When out on the river there arose such a clatter,

    I sprang from the bed, to see what was the matter.

    Away to the Hall, I flew in a rush,

    Tore open the shutters, and threw up the sash.

    The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow

    Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below.

    When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,

    But a longboat with shields, and great men with their gear.

    With a bearded old man, lively and wisened,

    I knew in a moment it must be Lord Odin.

    More rapid than eagles his warriors they came,

    And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!

    “Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!

    On, Comet! On, Cupid! on, Donner and Blitzen!

    To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!

    Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!”

    As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,

    When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky.

    So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,

    With bags full of booty, and Lord Odin too.

    And then, in a twinkling, I heard at the door

    The laughter of brethren hardened by war.

    As I drew in my head, and was turning around,

    Lord Odin, through the portal, came with a bound.

    He was dressed all in grey, from his head to his foot,

    And his clothes were all fouled with snow and with soot.

    A bundle of booty he had flung on his back,

    And he looked like a merchant, just opening his pack.

    His eyes-how they twinkled! his laughter how merry!

    His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!

    The beard of his chin was as white as the snow,

    And his purses, hung neatly, from his belt, in a row.

    The stump of a pipe, he held tight, in his teeth,

    And the smoke it, encircled his head, like a wreath.

    He had a long face, pointed hat, and grey cloak,

    That shook when he laughed, like the bough of an oak.

    He was tall and thin, but a jolly old elf,

    And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself!

    But a wink of his eye, and a twist of his head,

    Soon gave me to know, I had nothing to dread.

    He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,

    And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.

    And laying his finger, aside of his cheek,

    And giving a nod, tossed my share to my feet.

    He sprang to his boots, and to men gave a whistle,

    And away we all flew like the down of a thistle.

    And I heard him exclaim, ‘ere we ran into the night,

    “Happy Viking to all, and to all a good-fight!”
