  • Define Liberalism

    Dec 28, 2019, 9:37 AM

    —“Liberalism is ideology that elevates individual above everything else by definition (communism – class, fascism – race/nation state). Liberalism seeks to free an individual from any constraints – ethnicity, class, nationality, and as of recent, gender, and eventually, humanity.”—Alex Pryazhnikov

    So you mean Jewish cosmopolitanism, marxism, feminism, postmodernism, and Christian universalism continuing the Abrahamic tradition, and not liberalism or classical liberalism, meaning rule of law that limits the state. You mean ‘liberal’ in the American (Jewish, leftist) sense.

    Liberal or Progressive, in the Jewish Libertine, Comunist, Socialist sense

    So ok. That’s the postwar definition of the term.

    |Liberal| liberalism > classical liberalism > libertarianism

    Because the left appropriate the term ‘liberalism’ to mean universalism, cosmopolitanism, socialism, feminism, postmodernism, to UNDERMINE western rule of law.

  • Ternary Logic of Social Science

    Dec 28, 2019, 4:52 PM We focus largely on the law but not on the other innovations in the Propertarian program: Yes, Propertarianism consists of a set of innovations 1. Grammars (metaphysics) 2. Testimonialism (epistemology) 3. Acquisitionism and Propertarianism – Together making possible strictly constructed law (ethics) But we also have: 4: Cooperationism, Compatibilism, Cognitive division of labor This means that we specialize, largely along lines of gender cognition and age, in a division of perception, cognition, advocacy, and negotiation. And then we ‘calculate’ by discovering opportunities to cooperate across the spectrum of population, time, and space. So we function as a neural network that discovers opportunities despite variations in our division of labor in perceiving and comprehending the world. And we also have: 5. The Ternary Logic of Political Science. Let’s look at this a bit There are three states of logic, in order: 1. False 2. Truth candidate (actionable) 3. Undecidable (In-actionable) There are three options to cooperation 1. avoidance (ostracization) 2. exchange (cooperation) 3. predation-parasitism (conflict) There are three means of coercion 1. Remuneration (deprivation of trade, or benefit from trade) Middle class – Libertarian Meritocratic 2. Force (imposition of harm, defense from harm) Upper class – Conservative Eugenic 3. Undermining (ostracizing/inhibiting opportunity, including/generating opportunity) Under Class – Progressive Dysgenic There are three axes of elites 1. Scientific, Technical, Entrepreneurial, Financial, Treasury 2. Military, juridical, Police, Sheriff, Militia 3. Priests, Politicians, Public Intellectuals We can organize by three axes of elites (cooperate by) 1. Production and Evolution (Europe) 2. Administration and Stagnation (strong: China, weak: India) 3. Parasitism and Degeneration (Semitia, gypsies) We can rule by three axes of decidability 1. Science and Law (Europe) 2. Reason and Command (china India) 3. Sophistry and Propaganda (Semitia) We can govern by three axis 1. Markets, Law, Courts, (Europe) Middle Class 2. Bureaucracy (china) Upper class 3. Priesthood (Semitia) Underclass The ranking assuming we eradicate the Semitic dark ages: Europe, China, India, Iran-Assyria-Babylon, Egypt Mesoamerica, Semitia(Jewish Muslim), S-Pacific, E Africa, W Africa Africa, S Africa, Austronesia The only hard choice being Iran vs India and that choice possible only because the Persians were not able to shake off Islam and reassert Persian civilization despite efforts just as the Germans can’t sake of Christianity despite their efforts and reassert germanic civilization. If something had not ‘gone wrong’ in India she would have produced the best culture with time. It may be climate and a demographic curse. But I don’t quite understand what went wrong yet but I”ll figure it out. I think we understand what went wrong with Persia and Germania. And Russia, Germania, and china are our fault for not letting Russia retake orthodoxy, not letting Germany retake Europe, and not letting MacArthur and Patton finish the job of the second world war with Russia and China.

  • “Curt, What’s a Grammar in Propertarianism?”

    Dec 31, 2019, 12:54 PM (important)(core) A grammar has traditionally referred to a book containing the rules of a language. But I had to put quite a bit of work into ‘disambiguating’ the terms we use in language. The human cognitive facility consists of identification of constant relations between stimuli in time resulting in categorization (identity). The human auto association facility consists of discovering relations between categories (identities). The human memory facility consists of repetition of stimuli or rehearsal from short term memory, to create, reinforce, change, and eliminate constant relation within and between categories (locations, places, barriers, models, identities) The human logical facility consist of tests of constant, inconstant, and unrecognized relations between states (categories, identities). The human grammar facility refers to our physical ability to perform continuous recursive disambiguation using a stream of signals, most commonly in the form of sounds. The human language facility refers to the use of patterns of symbols or sounds in sequence of continuously recursive attempts at disambiguation. A language consists of Phonemes (sounds), Morphemes(meaningful combination of sounds – roots), Vocabulary (words), Phrases (state), Sentences (changes in state – transactions), Stories (collections of transactions), Grammar (rules of organization making possible disambiguation by inference), and Syntax (further disambiguation – specifically when writing). A vocabulary consists of Names (Nouns, references to referents), Name Substitutes (pronouns), Properties (Adjective, state), Operations (verbs, actions, state of acting), Properties of Operations (Adverb). and Approval or Rejection (yes no true false agree disagree etc). Note that I’ve clarified some terms here a little differently than we traditionally do. However (this is the issue) the collections of permissible dimensions (paradigms) limit the rules of continuous recursive disambiguation: The logic of the paradigm. This is why…. Let’s use math because it’s the most simple language we have that all of us share. Mathematics consists of names of positions (numbers), variables (pronouns), names of operations ( mathematical operations, verbs), phrases (expressions), statements (functions), sentences (transactions), proofs (stories), and Approval or Rejection (true false). There are no adverbs or adjectives. What differs between ordinary language and mathematical language is that mathematics (the language of positional names) and ordinary language (the language of human experience) differ in ‘dimensions of permissible references’ to both Names (nouns) and Operations (verbs). And we can do the same analysis for every Grammar (system of rules) in the spectrum of: math, accounting, logics, programming, physics, chemistry, biochemistry, recipes, protocols, laws, testimony, descriptions, ordinary language, narration, storytelling, fictions, fictionalisms, and deceits – and everything in between. And we use the term “Deflationary grammar” for the narrowest grammars (math, logics), “ordinary grammar” for ordinary language, and “Inflationary grammar” for the widest grammars (story, fiction, fictionalism, deceits). Deflationary < —- Ordinary —-> Inflationary. So instead of the traditional hierarchy: Human Facilities -> language -> phoneme -> morpheme -> paradigms (metaphysics and resulting semantics) -> vocabulary -> grammar -> syntax. Instead we have: Human Facilities (see above) -> vocabulary -> paradigms(dimensions) -> grammar of paradigm(rules of story, transaction, function, expression, operation, names: the LOGIC of the paradigm) -> permissible vocabulary -> necessary syntax. So a Grammar refers to the Paradigm (permissible dimensions of perception, cognition, and action), the Names, Operations, and Rules of Continuous Recursive Disambiguation (morpheme, word, phrase, sentence, story organization) and the LOGIC (constant relations) that limit consistency, correspondence, coherence, and completeness. So in P we use a ‘grammar’ to refer to the Vocabulary, logic, syntax of a paradigm. And when we use the term “the Grammars’ we mean the spectrum And Operational Grammar or Testimony is a Deflationary Grammar: a Deflation (constraint upon) ordinary language grammar, limiting it to a single point of view, absent the verb to be, using complete promissory sentences, describing a series of operations (human actions), resulting in testable transactions (sentence), and sets of transactions (testimony).

  • Economics Is Just Physics with Debits and Credits (memory)

    Jan 4, 2020, 10:38 AM

    —“Women crave privilege and license. Men desire liberty and justice. Prove me wrong.”—Joshua Fox

    Turn that statement into economic language: women desire consumption and men desire opportunity for production – the consequence of which is trading sex and reproduction for resources: a division of labor organized by voluntary exchanges.

    —“To the root!”–Joshua Fox

    Human behavior is all physics. It has to be. Economics is just physics with debts and credits. Our consciousness is just a vehicle for negotiating terms of cooperation. Cooperation is just a means of obtaining higher returns on investments of time and calories. Marriage – especially universal marriage – is the optimum compromise and the optimum means of calculating reproduction. The feminists are under the impression that men will behave by current means if the compromise of marriage and therefore exchange disappears. But if universal marriage and exchange of productivity for sex and offspring without imposing costs on others no longer exists, men will either invent new ways or revert to old ways that do not require cooperation. Women choose individually. Men choose collectively. Marriage and family is the compromise.

  • On Writing Fiction

    Jan 5, 2020, 12:47 PM All the time in every submission, every publisher’s read of it, and every rejection of it, and every reaction to rejection, and every thought about your reaction to rejection is a reflection of the time that you didn’t put into researching people, places, and things, that would fill your head with possibilities for novelty that would inform the reader, capture the reader’s attention, and increase the chance of publication. All entertainment is novelty seeking. Human experience is translated into emotion, and into memory, and into auto-association, and later contemplation by its degree of novelty. If you aren’t teaching the reader something new about others, about life, about people, about places, about things, or asking the reader to outwit you and your characters, you’re wasting your time, the editors time, the publisher’s time and the reader’s time – if you ever manage to get one.

    1. Learning the archetypes and the plots is trivial.
    2. Adapting them to contemporary life takes a bit of thought.
    3. Informing the reader about life takes more thought.
    4. Planting clues for the reader to speculate where the plot is going takes a bit more thought.
    5. Planting outwitting the reader’s speculation takes more thought.
    6. Novel combinations of all the above takes much more thought.
    7. More characters and more plot lines and more sets of clues takes much more thought.
    8. Using all of the above to teach the audience a philosophy for the present, a state of the world in the past or future – a system of thought that reframes the world – that is what literature means.
    9. Doing #8 so that you capture the essence of the age in the myths of the age: theology, fantasy, science fiction, fiction, biography, history, philosophy, law or science is extremely difficult and those that endure are extremely rare.

    But in the end, answer the question every art, music, literature, play, and script professional will ask you? 1. Are you engaging in therapy? 2. Are you engaging in escapism? 3. Are you engaging in self-entertainment? 4. Are you engaging in approval-seeking? 5. Are you engaging in business or entrepreneurship? 6. Are you engaging in craftsmanship or engineering (production)? 7. Are you engaging in entertainment (novelty)? 9. Are you engaging in politics or propaganda? 9. Are you engaging in philosophy? 10. Are you engaging in art? The amount of knowledge that you must reflect in, or incorporate in your work increases with scale. Postmodernism is a cancer on mankind – as bad as monotheism was in the past. But we are almost done with it. We are in a period of chaos. The period before the great change. We require authors to create a new vision. We live the vision of technology created in 1980 by William Gibson, Neal Stephenson, and Bruce Sterling. We live in the vision of civilization destruction created by Derrida. We live in the literary model of GRR Martin’s Futility of heroism, where the meek inherit the devastated earth. We live in the reverse gender model of harry (Harriet) Potter vs Hermione (Herman) Granger. We live in the political order of George Orwell’s Animal Farm. What are you bringing to the table in exchange for others attention? Because they couldn’t care less, nor should they, about your therapy, escapism, self-entertainment, approval seeking, entrepreneurship, and they expect at least craftsmanship and production quality in exchange for not only their (increasingly trivial) money, and (increasingly costly) attention. I’ve taught creativity for decades and it’s trivial. 1. Fill the shelves of your mind with everything possible until you have so many ideas you can’t choose among them. 2. Sketch characters, locations, things, incentives, and obstacles. 3. Sketch plots (arcs) That’s filling your head. 4. Write scenes with beginning middle and end. 5. Write chapters with beginning middle and end. 6. Write arcs with beginning middle and end. 7. Write stories with beginning middle and end. The rest is editing- be merciless. You want to feel your way through a writing book, but you can’t feel your way through emptiness. Give yourself resources to work with. Otherwise, you’re just using free association to create a poor imitation of whatever authors you’ve read who did what you didn’t.
