    Doolittle ditty

    —“So it’s correct to call apriorism an ideal grammar, but not a formal grammar.

    Thankfully I finally know how to talk about the grammars of each incremental dimension… sigh.

    Mathematical grammars are not contingent because of constant relations. That’s their beauty. The problem is they’re non causal.Linguistic (Philosophical) grammars are contingent. That’s their weakness.Operational grammars are not contingent. And they’re causal. That’s their beauty.”—

    One statistic and two facts on the Finnish Education Miracle.

    1) They win with their girls. Finnish girls are what tilt the curve. (I suspect this is male suppression as everywhere in the west).

    2) Teachers require a ‘real’ masters degree, are highly paid, and it’s very difficult to get the job for that reason.

    3) They don’t use standardized tests.

    In other words, HIGH INVESTMENT PARENTING in school.

    LEGITIMATE BOUNDS

    by William L. Benge .

    LEGITIMATE BOUNDS

    So then boundaries defining internality vs externality in our case are not any sort of artificial “cultural construct” but derive from actual tests which transpired and were recorded over a very long period of time, and thus gradually formed into the official unique history belonging only to our group, with it’s special peculiar narrative and body of legal and moral precedents which also systematically evolved into wise, time-tested, sensible norms.

    RIGHTFUL CONSUMPTION V INTERLOPER

    What we now observe in modernity, however, is disruption and interference with this consumption, via confusion and noise created (and designed with malice) to interrupt/ prevent/ hinder our enjoyment of these benefits and for nefarious ends. For theft. Cultural, habitual theft.

    The lessers covet our more? O definitely.

    The boundaries we refer to or hint at/ suggest are not in any way illegitimate, artificial but the opposite. As a concept, these delineations we speak of are immutable.

    Therefore, anyone offending them must know they do so at a price.

    Re: parasitism, immorality, predation etc…

    First thing to get is that predation, parasitism and cooperation are all natural consequences of the same natural phenomena – life must seek asymmetrical benefit to survive.

    From there – cooperation because it multiplies agency through aligning agents, opposed to predation and parasitism which reduces net agency, provides the only strategy (application of natural phenomena) which has an unlimited time horizon.

    Predation ends when the prey have been consumed – the more successful the predator the more likely the prey supply is reduced to zero; the more successful the parasite the more degradation of the hosts health.

    Predation and parasitism cap their success – their success increases their limits to success. Cooperation, however, when success increases, limits decrease.

    When we extend the interpersonal strategy (cooperation) to our pool of resources (environment- including social=material, intellectual) our extraction of asymmetrical benefits increases the health of the pool of resources (stewardship) woof.
