  • Good and Evil Is a Middle Eastern Not European Concept

    —-“Good and evil were invented in the middle east to facilitate cultural warfare between the middle east and the indians. European religion used chaos and mischief vs order, and our gods were ‘real people’ with real frailties.” – Curt Doolittle —“The concepts “good” and “evil” are actually Indo-European in origin. Etymology dictionaries are useful. Better perhaps to say that our misconceptions about what exactly those terms mean are influenced by Middle Eastern philosophy…”—AunMarie Grooms

    Indo european a language and cultural family of genetically west eurasians of the proto-European, proto-Caucasian, proto-Iranic but NOT proto-turkic post glacial maximum peoples. The proto-caucasians and anatolians appear to have been lost to us. As far as I know, good and evil are indo-iranic not indo european. It’s unlikely that I err. The division between European, iranic, indo-iranic results in European (aristocratic egalitarian and martial), Persian(aristocratic authoritarian and martial), and Hindu( caste, duty-role, and ‘priestly’) pantheons. The argument put forth by others which I got from Karen Armstrong, was that it appears that the north and west europeans developed more so in the corded ware culture(material), and the iranics more in the vedas (spiritual), and that this is largely because etherial religion as we understand it evolved in what we call Mesopotamia-Anatolia or, more precisely, along the euphrates. It’s most likely that religious pantheons developed differently due to differences in indo european ethnicities, and strategies. The west pretty much killed everyone they came in contact with (or at least the males) because the neolithic farmers were not developed enough to resist them. But as the iranic people migrated east to india, then south of the caspian, then west back into Mesopotamia they encountered developed peoples that they had to conquer. So, iranics and indo iranics used hierarchy to rule an compete with others like the indus valley people and the Mesopotamians while europeans maintained aristocratic egalitarianism and didn’t develop authoritarianism until the late roman empire – and even then – they would have been more successful if they’d been much more authoritarian and much less tolerant.

  • Operationalism is Hard.

    —“P’s Operationalism is a lot harder than math. Math is so clear because it’s trivial. P requires much more.”— Adam

    Well you’re the first person to fully understand that. This is why I’m getting sort of awed lately – something is happening because people are progressive much faster now. Well as for your observation, math can construct a degree of precision outside of human scales of perception at the very large and very small. But as we have seen in testimony, law, and economics, in human action, the operations available and the grammar to create fully formed, grammatically complete, fully disambiguated statements in P is a lot harder than it is in math. So I see: first-order-logic (categorical logic) > math( positional logic)) > computable logic (programming) > operational logic( p-testimony), as the hierarchy of logics today. And in retrospect all the logics make so much more sense now.

  • Operational logic is Demanding

    —“Operational logic requires demonstrated knowledge and everyone relies on their own available vocabulary. Which reveals something about the speaker, but is why it’s so hard for people without a whole lot of REAL knowledge or the precise means measurements to use (their vocabulary). But once it clicks…you can do it. Just a matter of differing speeds of success. It’s really hard for me. Takes me a while to produce.”— Adam

      It’s hard for everyone. But that’s why it’s such a good test.

  • Curation Rules

    I curate the feed. It’s time consuming. Comments I delete: 1. Stuff that will attract FB auditors. 2. Counter-signaling opinion without supporting argument. 3. Humor or sarcasm where it’s uncalled for. 4. Too-stupid-for-words 5. Most Memes, music, clips. 6. Off topic or stomping on the topic. I ban for: 1. Wasting my time. 2. Wasting other people’s time. 3. Trolling – wasting everyone’s time 4. Shrilling (feminism, postmodernism, marxism, inappropriate theism).

  • Motivations for Colonization

    by Scott De Warren If we disambiguate the mediterranean from the northern Atlantic worlds we will find different, though related motivations for colonization. For the Iberian peninsula it was a matter of national survival. As the Atlantic opened up to the world the Netherlands, followed by England set up global trade networks (inspired by previous Portuguese and Spanish success) to build up their national wealth so as to resist Catholic domination (Netherlands eventually split) made possible by Spanish gold and silver from the colonies. Resisting Catholic domination required rapid expansion of mercantilist trade (raw material inputs are imported, high value added outputs are exported) making bases in North America ideal.
