(FB 1550083882 Timestamp) –“Do you really have autism?”– A Friend I have an INTP personality and a ‘touch’ of aspergers. So no. I don’t have autism per se. I am very low on the autism spectrum. And even among aspies I am marginal. I have a tendency to obsessive thinking, a tendency to narrow interest, difficulty changing contexts, limited self and present awareness, and some difficulty empathizing with certain categories of emotion (insecurity and fear).

(FB 1550068535 Timestamp) IT IS NOT THE LAW, BUT VIOLENCE THAT SAVES US —“Men in power are always gonna push the envelope to see what they can get away with; and those who invested in their regime are always going to cover for them – at least until it’s no longer profitable for them to do so – and perhaps after that if they have any loyalty or honour. What’s to be done in those cases? I’m curious what your solution is. It seems to me the problem is that men are corruptible, and any system can, and given enough time, will be corrupted by ignoble dishonest men. You’ll have to forgive me, but I’ve lost faith in legal systems, and higher ideals. It seems that all that matters to men is power. The only people who have seem to have any semblance of honour are military folks, which is why militarized fascistic society, where martial virtue is the civil ethic.”—Richard Heathen
- Violence
- Organized Violence
- Law as a proxy for organized violence
- Politics as a proxy for organized violence at scale
- Markets as a proxy for universal violence at scale.
- Knowledge as a proxy for universal violence at scale.
- Genetic survival by violence and proxies for violence at every scale.
If the court is restored to common law independence (tort) then the court is just a proxy for violence between those of different physical abilities, but equal rights to property. And if the law says men denied the proxy for violence, and licenses violence where such proxy denied, then men will happily use violence rather than court or politics as proxy. The only requirement necessary to do so is to restore the militia – most probably in a reform of the regimental system – such that they always have the power to exert violence in the personal and political scale, at personal. IT IS NOT THE LAW THAT PROTECTS US BUT THE PERSISTENT MARKET FOR VIOLENCE SERVED ONLY BY THE MARKETS FOR PROXIES FOR VIOLENCE.

(FB 1550083548 Timestamp) by Luke Weinhagen TOLERANCE – (via negativa) the capacity to endure continued subjection to something (my adds: externalizes costs, ignores limits, passive state, imposed externally, waives agency) FORBEARANCE – (via-positiva) patient self-control; restraint; the action of refraining from exercising a legal right, a response or enforcing the payment of a debt/cost. (my adds: carries costs, imposes limits, active state, self imposed, applies agency) Above – “tolerance of the current condition” is a great example of the ambiguity tolerance allows. Who is responsible for the current condition? Who imposed a cost and who is carrying that cost? Alternative – “In absolutes you are governed by men who fight and their forbearance of your shortcomings.” Explicit in who is costing and who is covering costs. The alternative also reminds the men who fight of their responsibility for what is and to reiterate their responsibility in asserting limits upon that forbearance.

For the past 20 years, talk about civil war has been just that, talk. As long as people are economically comfortable it was always just talk. But we’re rapidly approaching the point where pure environmental and economic conditions will force people into action, talk will no longer be an option.”—Dax Rayner …

(FB 1550067665 Timestamp) WE CAN’T WE JUST TELL THE LEFT THE TRUTH? 1) Our civilization has succeeded because it’s been eugenic in every era – right up until the industrial revolution. 2) We find you disgusting. 3) and its because you’re unfit. 4) and you are unfit because you lack agency. 5) and you lack agency because you’re still undomesticated. 6) and as undomesticated still an animal. 7) and it isn’t any more complicated than that. 8) we cannot cooperate with you on equal terms any more than we can cooperate with any other animal – you lack the agency. 9) We don’t grant barn animals equality which is why we don’t grant you equality. And we don’t want barn animals in our homes, business, or our commons. 10) This is what we mean when we want to separate from you.

(FB 1550070444 Timestamp) —“Hey Curt, a friend and I are going to read Kuhn’s “Structure of Scientific Revolutions” soon. Do you recommend any other work that would expound the most up-to-date and rigorous philosophy of science? Cheers.”— The conversion of science from justification to falsification to to market competition, and unifying science and law, where science is but an extension and application of the law of tort, and the testimony required in laws of tort. Popper’s Logic of Scientific Discovery, Kuhn’s Structure of Scientific Revolutions, Popper’s conjectures and refutations, …but first read: Hayek’s knowledge in society essay, and his Road to Serfdom … And if you can manage it: Elanor Ostrom (Commons) And Amartya Sen (philosophy and economy) … And then Hayek’s Law, Legislation, and Liberty if you want to take it all the way through to the end. Popper is talking about explicit knowledge and hayek about tacit knowledge. And we must possess both. Just as we must possess recipes (transformations/actions) and theories (search algorithms/opportunities). One to search for opportunities and one to exploit them. THe rest of the century is basically wasted with poorly articulated arguments attempting to state what is a fairly obvious problem. As far as I know my work is most current, and that is that there is no via-positiva scientific method (what to do) only a via-negativa scientific method (due diligence in that your testimony is truthful.) That we must perform due diligence in each of the applicable dimensions of possible human comprehension. And that science consists of the art of attempting to possess the information necessary to testify. And therefore that science then is a market for arguments. So: – Free Association > Hypothesis – Hypothesis > Theory – Theory > Law – Law > Habituation – Habituation > Metaphysical assumption. Cheers. -Curt
