  • Operations (real) vs Sets (ideal)

    October 28th, 2018 8:43 AM AGAIN: OPERATIONS (REAL) VS SETS (IDEAL) – CANTOR AS AN EXAMPLE OF THE PROBLEM IN MATHEMATICS AND BY EXTENSION EVERYTHING.

    —“Ok but Cantor’s work is specifically set-theoretic, not analytical. Also, an infinite sum is by definition a sum over a countable set. So cantor’s notions are in fact relevant for this.”—Alex Pareto

    [Y]es it is a sacred cow because people who are (knowingly or unknowingly) mathematical platonists are just as indoctrinated into superstitious nonsense as people who are indoctrinated into platonism proper, and people indoctrinated into theology. They know how to DO what they do (meaning make arguments with the objects, relations, and values of their vocabulary and grammar) but they don’t know how and why what they do functions. Frequencies are the scientific description and infinities (sizes) the fictional (imaginary) description. The difference is that those of us who work in the sciences, where we CANNOT engage in Platonism, because that is the purpose of science: to prevent such ‘magical’ speech, and instead force us to undrestand the causal relations between reality and our speech. So in this case a number consists of nothing more than the name of a position. That’s it. Mathematics consists of the vocabulary and grammar of positional names. Nothing more. Period. We generate positional names by the process of positional naming. We can scientifically describe that process as did Babbage, Turing, and Computer Science (consisting of nothing but addition), with gears, or the positional equivalent of gears (positional names), or the electronic-switch(memory) of positional names, and use these gears to produce positional names and operations on positional names at varying speeds. We can also tell a ‘story’ about those things (a fiction) which is what we do with literary, symbolic, and set mathematics. And then we can tell a fairy tale about sets, as if they are an equivalent to red riding hood. But no matter what we do, operationally, (scientifically) all we can do is produce a series of positional names faster or slower than another series of positional names. Ergo, there exists only one name “infinity” for “unknown limit of operations” and different rates (frequencies) by which we generate positional names, using any set of operations with which we produce positional names. This is why mathematics ‘went off the rails’ into fictionalism despite Poincare’s and others efforts at the beginning of the 20th century. Math is just the use of positional names which have only one property: position, and therefore only ONE constant relation: position. All logic consists of the study of constant relations, and as such mathematics provides the most commensurable language of constant relations, since it has only ONE constant relation: position.

  • Continentalism, Nationalism, State Capitalism.

    October 28th, 2018 9:24 AM CONTINENTALISM, NATIONALISM, STATE CAPITALISM. [O]ne world government, monopoly, authoritarian communism vs continentalism, nationalism, state capitalism. Why is that a difficult choice, versus empires or one-empire of world government? India for Indians, Europa-America-Australia for Europeans, “Semitica” for Semites, Africa for Africans, Asia for Asians, South America for South Americans and Amerindians, Pacifica for Pacificans. Why this arrangement under many nation states is other than optimum is extremely difficult to understand. We could all build walls and be at peace with one another. Good fences and good walls make good neighbors. There is no ‘human right’ to access the civilization of European people. Our ancestors worked very hard to eliminate the ‘familialism and tribalism’ of the other civilizations. Only the Europeans (Atlantic-Germanic-Slavs), and the East Asians Han-Korean-Japanese) have achieved it. And only the hindus have produced as ‘kind’ a social order despite the burden of their demographics. The chinese have chip on their shoulder due to the century of embarrassment. The africans need nothing but time and defense against the horrors of islam. and all of us need defense against the horrors of Semitica – expansionary islamism. Only the west is ‘naive’ and trusting (Foolish) enough not to defend herself from conquest.

  • Grammars Matter

    October 28th, 2018 8:38 AM GRAMMARS MATTER: COMPACT MONOPOLY CONFLATIONARY STAGNANT DYSGENIC VS DIFFERENTIATED MARKET DEFLATIONARY EVOLUTIONARY, EUGENIC SOCIAL ORDERS (important concepts)

    —“You might want to take a look at Eric Voegelin’s distinction between “compact” and “differentiated” symbolic systems.”– Chip Sills

    [I] understand it but it’s psychological not scientific and I work with the scientific model instead. In the end we face problems of computational cost (neural economy), and the grammars (models, objects, relations, values) that allow us to calculate (make comparisons, judgements, plans), offset by the frictions of status(face), and our order’s demand for either status(public/economic) or face (familial/personal), and local competition (homogeneity vs heterogeneity) and the institutions(norms, traditions, values, formal institutions) that arise from those conditions in the geography we sustain ourselves within. Simple people need simple anthropomorphic means of computation by free association (dream state, imagination, intuition) and more sophisticated people require means of calculation and computation that are increasingly more precise than the limits of human scale present in anthropomorphic models(grammars). So simple people and civilizations use high context/low precision grammars, and more complex civilizations use low context/high precision grammars. And our languages slowly evolve into “pidgins’ for high context, and large vocabulary nouns in low context for lower cognitive load, and for higher precision at the cost of higher cognitive load. So what Vogelin refers to as compact vs differentiated is an insightful version, rendering the choice psychological or arbitrary, where I use more precise, higher precision, terms and definitions, that expose the causes and consequences, and the non-arbitrariness of the relationship. Moreover, the CONFLATIONARY structure of MONOPOLY (monotheistic) religions and the MARKET structure of western civilization (poly grammatical) provides some of the best evidence of how monotheism (compact, monopoly, conflationary) models are easier to understand, but produce of necessity ignorance , stagnation, decline, and dysgenia. I hope this helps.

  • We All Stand on The Shoulders of Others

    October 28th, 2018 9:06 AM DON’T SELL YOURSELF SHORT. WE ALL STAND ON THE SHOULDERS OF OTHERS WHO DID WORK ON OUR BEHALF

    —“Great another video of me realizing I’m a god damn chimp”— Nick Mallar

    [D]on’t sell yourself short. I’m radical outlier who has spent a lot of time – a lifetime – learning how to understand and explain these ideas. Most of us can’t afford it, and lack the ability to focus on a single process for that length of time. As Einstein said, it’s not that he was exceptionally smart, but that he just spent more time on the problem than anyone else. IMO i’m the beneficiary of a point in time where we desperately need a solution to current intellectual problems, and a lot of people have done a lot of work I depend upon, and I have the internet and search engines making me and my generation the first people to be able to synthesize that much information from so many different fields. if you can UNDERSTAND what I’m saying, then you are no chimp at all. There is no need for you to duplicate my efforts. Just USE THE RESULT. (Now for the people that DONT understand what I’m saying, we just have to limit the damage that they can do to the rest of us. 😉 )

  • The Form of Government Necessary and Why

    October 28th, 2018 10:19 AM THE FORM OF GOVERNMENT NECESSARY AND WHY (important concepts) [T]he form of government necessary for a people depends upon their demographic distribution, homogeneity, and the size of the middle class, because the middle class generates demand for rule of law, and the state generates demand for income from the wealth the middle class generates. So in the competition between rule of law and rule by man, demand is driven by conditions. This market is created by the competition for profits by the middle classes and their employees vs rents by the state and their dependents, with the principle difference being that the state can more easily concentrate startup capital and market advantage for heavy capital industries at the cost of corruption – and while the private sector cannot so easily produce the capital and market advantage through trade policy, the private sector can better utilize that capital and suppress state corruption since market competition suppresses rents. For historical reasons (geography, militia order, and ‘competitive’ bipartite manorialism), the west evolved cross-family corporations rather than intra-family clans, and as such superior trust, superior ability to produce commons because of it, and as such superior ability to generate large scale private sector organizations with greater innovation and returns on capital. Just as social orders became anchored (religion) during the age of transformation (the restoration after the bronze age collapse) societies became anchored during the industrial transformation after the Abrahamic Collapse (judaism,christianity,islam: the semitic – turkic invasion). Fukuyama attributed the success of european bureaucracy to its development prior to democracy. Because, despite his stated positions, his analysis favors the sino tradition of monolithic bureaucracy. Cheers.

  • The Occult Is One of The Fictionalist Grammars. It’s Just Neurologically Cheaper

    October 28th, 2018 10:14 AM THE OCCULT IS ONE OF THE FICTIONALIST GRAMMARS. HERE IS WHY IT WORKS. CLASSES OF PACKS.

    —“I think occult literature is to exercise and train the mind. Seeing the world through symbolism and allegory gives you a more well rounded world view. The imagination training alone to keep a sharp inner vision is worth the effort.”– Zack Sunday

    Contrast with:

    —“I started following your new friends. I think I just gagged on an Ebola”— a friend —“Evola is Harry Potter for the resurgent right.”—Neil A. Bucklew

    —“It’s cool, it’s hip, and it’s accessible. You read something like Metaphysics of War, and it’s not that different from The Fellowship of the Ring. Same beautifully constructed sentences, full of poetic words, riddled with lofty nouns that are inevitably capitalized like the philosophical texts of old. One of my favourites is when they capitalize Truth (whatever the fuck that’s supposed to mean). Who the fuck wants to read this “operational”, “via negativa” garbage, whatever that is? It all looks like computer code to me and that stuff is for nerds, right? These kids grew up with this stuff, this poison from Arktos and Counter-Currents. And what’s more, they will never, for the life of them, consider that maybe – just maybe – they shouldn’t trust these jesters and their sources, all of which are rooted in religious texts. You see, atheism or even agnosticism, those aren’t options; those are the tools of the Left. Surely, we cannot espouse the opinions of the Left, so instead, we will regress further and further and become ever more backward until this vile, leftist materialism and its child, despicable Science, are utterly obliterated and replaced with a spiritually transcendent society, which will be guided by religious texts, “perennial truths”, that were totally not written by fools and deceptive human beings, but instead written by people possessed by powerful, metaphysical forces, the names of which are once again capitalized for effect and this perverted stack of lies continues getting higher and higher and higher..”—by Göran Dahl —“We live in a natural world. The Mere belief in an old order and the mere feeling of how that order looks like or how it would look like in this age is not the right way to re-evolve it. Evola and Doolittle are observing the same thing, but the holes of Doolittle’s sieve are much smaller compared to those of Evola’s. If Evola and Doolittle are to observe, for example, the solar system, Evola would propose that the reason a planet orbits the sun is that its matter has some kind of tendency for orbiting or a sort of motility. But Doolittle WILL explain that the reason a planet orbits the sun is a central force which varies exactly inversely as the square distance from the center. Now what I’m aiming at is that while Evola knows exactly what he wants to impose, he lacks A THEORY, he lacks a scientific language that would’ve helped him in understanding what he intuited, and therefore he fell into many traps, one of them is the savior myth. What we need is a scientific research paper that uses measurements and organizational charts not intuitions and poetic licenses.”–by Ahmed Reda

    —“I dont understand why people are so blind to the point of fact that it is necessary to hit a problem from multiple angles ….. We need the Evolas, Doolittles, Spencer’s, Trumps, IEs, nordfronts, TWPs, Dark enlightenments, Molyneuxs…. if even for the sole purpose of competition to strengthen the winners in their respective actionsets.”—Austyn Pember

    — CURT — SENTIMENTS: IT’S JUST NEUROLOGICALLY CHEAPER The Occult? Fiction? Sophisms? [I]ts actually just easier (cheaper) – to reduce dependence upon reason and memory, and let the connections be made by free association and suggestion. (it is easier to be programmed than to program the self) These free associations cast a broader opportunity net at the expense of deduction and inference. When you say ‘well rounded’ that’s nonsense. when you say ‘cheaper and easier with greater reach for opportunity’ that’s true. So, increase precision with calculation and computation, and decrease precision with reason and more so with intuition. There is a correlation between age and dependence upon intuition vs reason. There is a correlation between isolation and dependence on intuition vs reason. I can intuit those relationships but I don’t feel comfortable stating the causality yet, although it does remind me of the feeling testosterone produces, that in turn, increases the radius of our awareness and thought in males as we mature. I suspect that this is the causal relationship between neural economy, state of endocrine development, and accumulated knowledge. -Curt Doolittle
