@Graphic BTW: “Just a roofer” doesn’t mean anything. 😉 You’re thinking about and working on hard problems, and you’re doing it with intellectual honesty, and that’s all that fking matters to produce enough of us that are paternal enough to stop civilizational suicide. 😉

@Graphic I can explain experience. My education is in the criticism of the fine arts. I can explain and imagine, differences in qualia. That is different from explaining causality. It’s the difference between truth and taste. Since my work is in the law, I only must decide truths not tastes. And part of that job is to prevent people from conflating tastes with truths. And so that is all I am doing. Materialism is a truth, but it says nothing abut a taste, qualia, or experience. We remain human beings, with human experiences. The law only matters when we need truth despite the differences in our tastes, qualia, and experience.

@Graphic False equivalency. Pretense of knowledge. Operational descriptions are always the least false. That does not mean they are experientially complete. Conversely, experiential completeness is aways the cause of operational descriptions of operational processes. There is no ‘woo’. Nothing magical. Nothing more complex than what we experience with a flip book or movie. Nothing. It’s so boringly simple, like all of nature once we understand it. As for materialism, all that exists is the material (noun) and the material in motion (verb). Conscousness is a verb. It’s the recursive experience of continuous change. That’s all.

@Graphic Just watch the two segments on consciousness. It’s just a deterministic effect of memory and cooperation.

@FuriousFolly It means that we shouldn’t force people who are fit to take the vaccine if they are willing to bear the cost of being ill with covid vs the risk of long term adversarial effects of the vaccine – and they don’t interact with caretakers or the unfit. This would then expose those who don’t take the jab to liabiity if they did spread the disease to the unfit.

NATURAL LAW ON THE VACCINE
Natural Law: If you demand a vaccine against the individual’s will, the organization making that demand involuntarily insures the individual against any and all harms resulting from it: lifetime damages. This is the ONLY empirical test of the veracity of mandates.
This is the answer to all claims: due diligence, warranty, and liability. This is the answer to all concerns. If the organization will not issue this warranty, under this liability, then they have demonstrated their truthful judgment.
Then the opposite is true. (Smallpox, Measles, Polio) Because then by refusal you are warrantying others against the harm you cause them. And individual ability to issue such a warranty is (all but) impossible other than by self sequestration.
I’m not anti-vaxx. I’m just stating the Natural Law. And explaining why the natural law serves as the only epistemic means of testing someone’s or some group’s claims of the safety of a vaccine (or any other product, service, or idea).
The risks of harm from this set of vaccines is vanishingly small – down in the .02% range, and seemingly because it exposes existing but invisible conditions, and long term harms seem to be in single digits because of this. But it is vanishingly small for precisely those people least likely to suffer negative effects from Covid-19. And it is only terminal for those people whose trajectory is already terminal due to excessive comorbidities.
Under these conditions (which we have enough empirical evidence now to judge) the Natural Law solution is to sequester those who are high risk, and their care-takers, and not the entire economy and polity. (Which was what we recommended from the beginning).
However, the issue was politicized by (a) ‘positioning by the trump administration to limit economic harms (he was correct). (b) positioning by the left-opposition to dramatize the case in order to create economic harms to prevent trump’s re-election (c) the unpreparedness of the american and world health institutions because of their malincentives. (d) the demand by the neurotic, feminine, because they are terribly fearful (e) the demand to treat everyone equally despite this is an old-age, and unfit-comorbid people disease. (f) Failure to sequester the unfit, comorbid, and their caretaking hierarchy. and the list could go on forever.
By politiiczing theissue, they converted it from a scientific to a moral issue, and once that’s happened both sides double down on their moral panic.
This is bad government.

NEXT SUBJECT: REDIRECTION OF THE FEMALE INTO PROSOCIAL BEHAVIOR
I wish I hadn’t gone down this path of trying to understand the problems of present dating culture, because it’s a sinkhole of depressing catastrophe for both sexes – and for the polity. It’s as bad as opioids and woke. And I’ve learned nothing new about female antisocial behavior.
Tim gave me work to do: now that I’ve articulated female antisocial behavior, I need to articulate female prosocial behavior – meaning prohibiting using seduction just as we prohibited men from using violence.
— ” IMHO, your time would be better spent learning about female prosocial behavior in the West, and articulating it with the same detail you’ve done Western male prosocial behavior. ” — Tim
— ” The main reason I do that is that liberal (feminine) side seems to rely on what they signal rather than revealed preference and what fembrains signal is values of the dominant narrative rather than their own. ” — Martin
Is their dominant narrative ever anything other than the female sexual imperative in different dress: adaptation, cost, responsibility, accountability, evasion?
