    We assume what we intuit from our childhood is natural rather than taught. What moves us is well understood. The question is why some of us are taught it via nonsense and some of us not. 😉

    —“Almost every conflict that we could name can be traced back to financial institutions, And they have all been centered around the control of others resources,”—

    If you want to argue that we evolved:

    from normative governance > to religious governance > to legal governance > to credit governance > (and are moving into digital reputation governance as we have seen in China and the UK)

    …then yes.

    If you want to argue that we must definancialize the economy and polity such that we are once again under rule of law instead of credit and digital reputation; and that doing so will end the extraction of rates of reproduction and quality of life from the middle classes in order to increase the reproduction of the lower classes, and payment of the upper classes for doing so, then yes I am in agreement.

    If you attempt to deny that the organized application fo violence in the systematic use of law, to incrementally suppress free riding, parasitism and predation ISN”T how we civilized mankind by forcing people into markets, that’s going to be very difficult. Because politics(legislation and regulation) and law(Findings of law of Tort) are merely proxies for violence.

    if you want to argue that redistribution without constraint on reproduction is a good thing then you are engaging in moralizing in a misguided attempt to devolve civilization, standard of living, and replace democracy markets and rule of law with authoritarian central management and it’s deterministic consequences: dysgenia, and consequential impoverishment. Nature isn’t kind, people aren’t equal at all, and the difference in standards of living is little more than the difference in the sizes of the underclasses – those more successful at soft eugenics (suppressing underclass reproduction and upward redistribution of reproduction to the middle class), produced the highest standard of living for the simple reason that rate of raining increases rapidly below the upper thirty percent ( of the west) which is why india cannot become a china for example.

    But if you want to engage in feminine gossiping, rallying, shaming and ridicule, rather than argument you’re just perpetuating the problem.

    I know how to definnacialize the economy. I know how to redistribute standard of living from the financial, political, and entertainment classes to the middle productive classes.

    But are you willint to limit reproduction of the underclasses to one child in return?

    Economics in everything.

    It’s just physics for humans.

    MALE RECIPROCATION OF THE SH_T-TEST?

    (sarcastic humor)

    (

    Humoring women is the means of reciprocating the sh-t test.

    They sh-t test. They sh-t test men constantly. Daily. Hourly.

    We respond with “You don’t expect me to take you seriously do you?”

    And that is how we reciprocate. By using “taking you seriously” as a scarcity.

    And then we do what we want, and once in a while satisfy one of the woman’s ‘urges'(nagging) in exchange for her satisfying one of our ‘urges’ (‘prostate exercise’).

    This process continues indefinitely. sh-t test (nag/degrade) -> Humor (laugh-off/degrade) -> Trade -> Repeat Ad Infinitum.

    Never let women have the illusion that they are in control. (a) they don’t really want it – they want to be certain YOU are in control so they can fuss about makeup and shoes, and whether their best friends third best friend is getting the one-up on her in gossip. (b) you aren’t INTERESTING if you can be bossed around, rather than manipulated.

    It’s a FUN GAME you just gotta play by the real rules rather than the rules people tell you to.

    WHAT DEFINES ‘HUMAN’?

    —“Is it possible that you have too high a standard for what qualifies as human?”– Joel Harvey

    Well that begs the question standard for what purpose?

    1 – For cooperating commercially (trade on means) – yes.

    2 – For socializing (exchanging information – on ends) – no.

    3 – For political organization (cooperating on ends and means) – absolutely not.

    One does not let wild animals, domesticated animals, domesticated pets, children, or insufficiently domesticated and trained humans to influence that which they lack the agency to decide without harm to others.

  • DEFINE “PHILOSOPHY”? —“Curt: What exactly is your definition of philosophy?”–

    DEFINE “PHILOSOPHY”?

    —“Curt: What exactly is your definition of philosophy?”– Ben Quimby

    The study of choice: options, preference and good, by the organization of categories, relations, and values, to produce choice: options, preferences and goods.

    IMPORTANT: note that I never define anything in isolation, but always in SERIES. The reason is to prevent all sorts of cherry picking, conflation and consequent fallacies of inference and deduction.

    So it is one thing to define philosophy as it stands, and another to define philosophy in DEFLATIONARY series, as a GRAMMAR of MEANING.

    |MEANING| Memories > Theology(Mythology/Supernatural) – Literature > Philosophy(reason/Ideal) – Analogy > Pseudoscience > Science (Measurement/Real) – History > Measurement (Description) – operations, logic, mathematics.

    All grammars attempt to produce a network of constant relations that we call ‘categories, relations, values, and methods(actions).’

    The question is, what are these constant relations coherent with?

    Theology -> A Mythos (A Story)

    Philosophy -> Internal Consistency (Choice-(meaning, preference, good))

    Science -> External Correspondence. (existence)

    Law -> Reciprocity (cooperation)

    Testimony -> Completeness and Coherence of all of the above.

    WHO IS AND ISN’T HUMAN?

    —“Curt, Who isn’t currently human?”—Joel Harvey

    Is the line of demarcation between human and animal:

    1) Morphology?

    2) Sentience? (Reaction to stimuli)

    3) Awareness? (Sympathy-intent/Empathy-experience/Imitation-action)

    4) Speech?

    5) Reason? (Agency)

    As far as I know, it is reason and agency which separates us from the animals.

    That means very few of us are yet human. The rest are in different stages of domesticated animal.

    And I suspect that number (percentage) corresponds to the pareto minimum.

    Yes, really.

    Our process of self domestication is far from complete. It is merely sufficient for west and to a lesser degree, east, to drag mankind out of ignorance, superstition, hard labor, filth, poverty, starvation, disease, plagues, suffering, child mortality, early death, continuous violence, and the vicissitudes of nature.

    |HUMAN| The gods we aspire to be < Trained Humans < untrained humans < trained animals < untrained animals < untrainable animals.

    We domesticated plants, those animals we could domesticate, and those humans we could domesticate.

    We just left the job unfinished.

    ARGUING WITH THE LEFT (FEMININE-COGNITIVE PROCESS) MALE

    —“I knew it, A veritable scream, I would play organ music and do bongs whilst you chanted in the corner, Ya crack stinks fella, Keep it snappy, 5-second attention span when looking at anything that doesn’t flash, squelch or explode.”— Damien Woodgate

    ^ Again. A statement of psychologism, the feminine substitute for argument, by use of “disapproval, shaming, ridicule, gossiping, rallying, reputation destruction, and straw manning”, where the “straw manning” most commonly consists of mirroring the feminine emotional overwhelming of any semblance of agency or reason.

    Statement of fact. You have no intrinsic value. You have no value to me or mine. You cannot use the tactics of females because you do not have sex, affection, care, reproduction, or ally-negotiation to trade. You must produce some form of value to trade with me and mine, and demonstrate your fitness to trade with me and mine, BEFORE you have any value, and therefore BEFORE your attempted threat of non-cooperation, undermining, reputation destruction has any persuasive value.

    There is a reason for paternalism: sovereignty, reciprocity, truth, duty, rule of law, and markets in everything – so that we domesticate the animals-that-speak, into the humans through training, education, and controlling their breeding.

    We domesticated the animal man. We have unfortunately left the job incomplete – as only some of us are currently human.

    SOMEDAY …

    Someday, I have fairly high confidence, nearly everyone will understand my work on the grammars, from measurements to fictionalisms, and what sounds ‘odd’ in my categorization of prose is as normal as enumerating logic, math, physics, chemistry, biology, and ecology.

    Once you see it you can’t unsee it.

    And that is why the Vitruvianist, Testimonialist and Propertarian revolution will be as impactful in the social and political sciences as the empirical revolution in the physical sciences.
