    TERMS: Grammar, Logic, Justification, Sophistry, Pilpul, Critique, Abrahamism 1)

    TERMS: Grammar, Logic, Justification, Sophistry, Pilpul, Critique, Abrahamism

    1) Grammar:
    (a) rules of “continuous recursive disambiguation” creating a contract for meaning, and consisting of: A Paradigm, consisting of: First Principles, Logic, Vocabulary, Syntax.

    (b) Grammars can be DeflationaryInflationary, where deflationary consists of math, logic, accounting, procedures, etc, and inflationary consist of stories, fictions, fictionalisms, deceits, and denials etc.

    (c) Operational grammar:
    operational grammar consists of complete sentences in promissory form, consisting of a sequence of subjectively testable operations producing complete transactions of changes in state. ie: ‘unambiguous measurements’.

    2) Logic:
    the test of constant relations between properties reducible to analogy to experience, internally as identity, externally between premises and statements, or externally between statements.

    (a) all statements must consist of continuously recursive disambiguation (b) there is no closure other than tautology, (c) all non-tautological tests are falsificationary. (d) falsification requires tests: internal, external, operational, rational, reciprocal, completeness.

    3) Truth:
    (a)Truth consists of a claim of innocence, by testimony sufficient for the satisfaction of demand for infallibility in the context.
    propertarianinstitute.com/2020/04/24/truth-te

    (b) Hierarchy of Decidability: Statements are undecidable, possibly true, or certainly false. All logic is Ternary.

    (c) A proof provides a test of possibility: a justification. Truth must survive falsification.

    4) Justification:
    either (a) a moral explanation for a claim of innocence (b) a false pretense that a proof is other than a possibility (c) and an evasion of the cost of falsification. (d) a fraud constructed by the pretense of due diligency by paying the cost of falsification.

    5) Sophistry:
    (a) General: any use of loading, framing, suggestion, obscuring, conflating, inflating, fictionalism, or denial, to claim consistency in identity, internality, externality, operationality, rationality, reciprocity, or completeness that does not exist.

    (b) More specifically, the use of the three means of fictionalism: Physical: Magic to Pseudoscience, Verbal: Sophistry to idealism (philosophy), Imaginary: Occult to Supernaturalism (theology), to convey a pretense of causality or knowledge that cannot be testified to.

    7) Pilpul:
    (attached) “The Positive Sell” Sophistry that implies a false promise of freedom from formal, physical, natural, or evolutionary laws by use of the following methods: (first image)

    8) Critique:
    (attached) “The Negative Sell” (second and third images)

    @sakovkt I don’t see that happening no. I would see a fed coin, a major ‘coin’ a secondary ‘coin’ with usual logarithmic distribution of investment, but I don’t see privatization of the monetary system.

    @YeahIStillTrade@Rhodok Of course. Because BTC are shares of stock. IMO, all companies should issue their own stock on private block chains, all counties should create their own title registries, etc. Crypto is a great savings device specifically because it is insulated from the problems of backed securities. That doesn’t change the fact that the financial system will have it balls cut off in the next decade or so, and that the state will monopolize money creation, returns on money creation, and most likely end the insurance and pension businesses when they do it.

    “Q: CURT, HAS RUSSIA GONE RED AGAIN?”

    (a) the west is seen as decadent and in decline in much of the world. And a visit to america, or just viewing american streets on google maps will confirm that without much difficulty.

    (b) russians are frustrated because their economy was growing until 2014, but the consequences of handling the ukrainian revolution poorly have affected them disproportionately. Worse, all capital is being directed to moscow and st petersburg at the expense of the distant regions. (Again, this is a ‘gamble’ the russian government is taking, given that they expect a rapid collapse of the west – especially europe – witihn the near time horizon as demographic collapse hurts europe more so than the rest of the world.

    (c) the entire world is economically equilibrating ending 600 years of european advantage in genetic destribution, institutions, culture, science, and technology, so the entire world will gravitate toward greater state responsibility for the economic condition – which is what we mean by socialism – since socialism always fails, it simply means are more mixed economy favoring state protection of labor markets and prices.

    (d) We know what the future looks like and china has taught a very serious and uncomfortable lesson: the chinese are fascists not communists. They are imitating the national socialists not the communists, in every aspect of their society. IN doing so they are demonstrating that the fascists won the argument over the future economic model. Why? Because nationalism, ethonocentrism, heavy trade regulation, state as majority venture capitalism, and private sector as majority producer, is the optimum political model. The only difference is the degree of propaganda necessary to maintain the loyalty of the people to one another (nationalism, ethnocentrism), in proportion to the amount of stress that the people must endure while policy slowly take effect.

    @YeahIStillTrade @Rhodok Imagine youi’re in control of the treasury, the central bank,** the IRS, the treasury agents, the FBI, the banking, wire transfer, credit card system, the stock and bond markets, the telcos, and the ISPs. And you want collapse the value of BTC and drive it into an exclusively criminal means of payment. How would you do that? Easily. And then easily force other governments to do so or be cut out of the system.**

    And in response to your questions:
    (a) it doesn’t matter if you can’t convert btc into anything material (b) they don’t care if you leave – they’d prefer it.

    I want to use this map to illustrate the asia vs west problem.

    (a) the northern European IQ average was closer to 115 before the industrial revolution.
    (b) china has a 5 pt advantage but will return to relative equilibrium with europeans in just a few decades too.

    – “Why does it matter?” –

    (a) The most influential factor in the determination of prosperity is the average IQ of a polity.
    (b) European average IQ has lost 15 points since ~1830.
    (c) Chinese average IQ is losing and will lose its ~5 point advantage over the next few decades.

    Why? Low Middle-Class births.

    BITCOIN, BLOCKCHAIN, THE FUTURE OF MONEY AND ECONOMY

    I’m not anti-BTC. I’m just doing my job. That means (a) BTC’s not money, but a fractional divisible share in the btc network (b) dependent upon the BTC network (b) it’s easy for the state to crash its value out of self defense – and it will. It’s an unbacked, uninsured, share in a network – that combines the features of shares of stock and token money.

    IE: Know the downside of investments. Don’t time it. Get out early.

    • “CURT: Do you believe the state will crush blockchain tech as a whole or just the cryptos like BTC that seek to compete with the dollar? I see huge potential in smart contracts and see it as counterproductive to the states interest to destroy it.” –

    1) IMO, more so in the coming near future, than in the past, the state will require and increase monetary levers of influence. So anything that is a threat to fiat currencies will be suppressed. Period. End of story. Does that mean blockchain tech? Absolutely not. 😉

    2)However, in that near-future monetary system we may see an even GREATER disconnect between consumer vs business monetary systems, and spending and saving monetary systems. We are past the point of the utility of a single fiat currency. This has been obvious since late 1980s.

    3) So the question isn’t whether blockchain survives – because the secure-ledger technology is a vast improvement in ownership (title) registry. It’s whether the state tolerates unbacked assets. IMO the state will end bank money creation, and capture all credit money creation.

    4) At present we have about a 1T revenue shortfall. And we have more than 1T involuntarily extracted from the people into the financial sector that should be captured by the state.

    5) With the advent of actuarial data at scale, tradable debt, and treasury insurance, banks have negative value and the financial sector has been able to create a state within a state, and a global state at the cost of the populations of liberal political states.

    It’s fixable.

    6) This is why I say that Blockchain techs are providing free off-book research and development for the state. And that the state is too busy fighting off globalists, populists, and the marxist-pomo revolution, to solve hard problems – only revolution, crash or war will do it.

    7) Over long enough time frames all human behavior is deterministic in the absence of a radical increase in the discovery, production, and application of ever-cheaper energy. There is a very near zero chance that I’m incorrect in my estimation by other than timing.
