    (FB 1548543561 Timestamp) SITE UPDATE: USER VERIFICATION EMAILS The user verification email function’s been enabled. I was hoping that we wouldn’t need to use it but ‘russian bots’ are a real thing and they’re a time sink. As far as I know everyone registered has been sent a verification email. -Thanks

    (FB 1548545712 Timestamp) I prefer ORDER. (intolerance). I would rather live in a prussian order with limited means of signaling (greater equality of responsibility for the commons.) I have come to understand that monarchies are better at the production of aesthetic commons, the generals better judges of war; the middle class at commercial commons; and the lower class at insurance commons. I would prefer we only let people engage in the production of commons they are good at. And that they have ‘skin in the game’ for any commons that they produce.

SO DOES MATH. —“it’s like languages were to be spoken not written down. if you can’t write 5 volumes on your ideas, that I can’t read it at all. Don’t get me wrong your work is correct but it’s so god damn awful messy”—Mediocre Croat Yes, um, spoken grammar and written grammar are different because it is easier to continually disambiguate speech with tone and paus than the written word with () , …, -. ;, ,., lol. On the other hand the scope of this work is huge, because it begins with the completion of the scientific method and applies it to every single field at some level or other in order to create a commensurable and therefore testable language. So, on average 6m-2y to learn it. You’re a smart enough guy and you can probably undrestand the grammars, the operational grammar, the epistemology, and the law fairly easily. (This is what people tell me.) But since we combine terms from so many disciplines and disambiguate them so heavily, terms are a pain. No other way to turn a lot of ‘very conflated colloquial language’ for the purpose of discounts on conveying meaning by free association, into a set of measurements for the purpose of prohibiting ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, fraud, and deceit prohibiting free assoc. There is no short route to algebraic geometry, no short route to the current law, and not short route to testimonial speech. Just is what it is. As Max Weber suggested, the future would consist entirely of reducing all knowledge to some form of calculation. Not that someone wont come along after me and simplify it, but honestly how do you simplify something as simple as this: https://www.facebook.com/thepropertarianinstitute/posts/1989176281196492 … Aside from the Grammars and Operational Grammar that’s about has simple as it can be.

He is going to do a great balance of red vs blue so to speak so that we understand both sides of the 4gw scenarios. Amazing guy. Really. We are going to be very lucky to have him.

    (FB 1548545500 Timestamp) THE SELF-REGULATION OF THE ARTS –Art is a way of making an idea real (open to experience). Art is the demonstrated property of an artist. Art is governed by established rules and principles and demonstrates an observance of limits on what is permitted or appropriate.”—Spencer Young This is .. really good structure. Rarely good structure. Pls let me suggest a tweak to your thought process a bit, and to riff off this opportunity to educate others: –“…governed by…”— This phrase is an analogy, not a description. Is art ‘governed?’. No. The process of regulation is much more elegant than that.

    • There exist economic costs of the production of different art forms.
    • There exist civilizations capable of paying the costs of different art forms (or not).
    • There exist technologies within each craft as well as the craft of aesthetics.
    • There exists symbolic content and aesthetic composition that ‘brands’ periods (states of development).
    • There exists mastery of the craft, the aesthetics, and the informational(symbolic) content.
    • There exists a tradition in all of the above (market).
    • There exists imitation that causes that tradition(market).
    • There are canons (reference works) that reinforce imitation and tradition (standards of weights and measures);
    • There is a market for imitation, canons, and the art itself.

    This is one of those deceptively hard questions of art theory. As far as I know, art is an ancient, even eternal, self-regulating market that ‘demonstrates demand for art works within both current and traditional limits of craftsmanship, aesthetics, meaning, context of display, and morals/ethics/manners (appropriateness).” There is plenty of ‘market manipulation’ in the arts, and it has been so forever. Just like every other market. However, professionals are rarely fooled. And tradition of the heroic value of arts continues unabated. (thanks for letting me riff with this)

    (FB 1548431818 Timestamp) —“I don’t know if this a funny, witty inside joke or not, so that’s how propertarians is at least to me, a very obscure dialectic.”— Yep. Well, if you sat down and tried to disambiguate terminology across all fields into a single commensurable language limited to operations, you would probably make a few different choices in term selection, but you’d end up with the same problem: terms=measurements=precision. So yeah. the language is a problem. Which is what we tell everyone. 1- disambiguated, operational language and grammar is hard. 2- speaking in ePrime is hard. 3- speaking in complete transactions is hard. But it converts language into algorithms.

    (FB 1548544166 Timestamp) WHAT DEMARCATES SCIENCE FROM NON-SCIENCE? Now what demarcates science (due diligence) from non-science (failure of due diligence)? Testifiability Try to falsify that statement. ( Let me help you: you won’t. Science has simply been a branch of the law all along. )
