Why and How Pilpul Functions as A Means of Deception.
October 28th, 2018 2:27 PM WHY AND HOW PILPUL FUNCTIONS AS A MEANS OF DECEPTION.
—“(((They))) win by creating false dichotomies; the use of language is very important.”—Mirjana BiliÄ
[T]heir technique of Pilpul: They use an element of truth to create a false dichotomy and therefore frame the question by suggestion, and obscure the solution due to anchoring. We are always vulnerable to anchoring. Because we are vulnerable to anchoring we are vulnerable to framing. Because we are vulnerable to framing we are vulnerable to suggestion and obscurantism. Because we are vulnerable to suggestion and obscurantism we are vulnerable to influence. If we are provided for incentive to justify that influence we can be controlled – by BLOCKING our OPPORTUNITY and MOTIVATION for seeking truth. The three abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) all produce recursive ignorance cue to BLOCKING our search for truth. This is how PILPUL is used to deceive, and why math, logic, science, economics, law and testimonial truth are such an important defense. A lie (incentive), a half truth, a False dichotomy (choice). Low trust people simply dont’ go beyond the tangible. High trust people do. Our asset of high trust in constructing the commons which produce such outsized returns compared to other peoples. But our trust( suspension of disbelief), and vulnerability to anchoring, suggestion, and obscurantism make our ordinary folk easily deceived, manipulated, controlled, and preyed upon.

More From My Portfolio of CEO Responses
October 28th, 2018 2:20 PM [M]ore From My Portfolio of CEO Responses 1) “You’re right. We should do that. Are you volunteering to get it done?” 2) “Really? I have simple means of testing demonstrated preference: He who does, chooses. He who doesn’t, doesn’t.” 3) “Really, now you don’t understand why I did that? Why do you think I would do that” (Silly reason follows.) “Actually, here is why I did it ….” (Stunned) (Teaching Moment Succeeded). 4) “Great idea. Given that we must, and do, at all times make use of all available capital, What should we not do in order to pay for doing that?” Teaching People to fish never ends. Why? They actually want someone to catch the fish for them.

What we call quantum mechanics today, may be nothing else than an ingenious technique
October 28th, 2018 7:58 PM THIS WOULD BE MY PRESUMPTION
—“Gerard’t Hooft conjectured that: “We should not forget that quantum mechanics does not really describe what kind of dynamical phenomena are actually going on, but rather gives us probabilistic results. To me, it seems extremely plausible that any reasonable theory for the dynamics at the Planck scale would lead to processes that are so complicated to describe, that one should expect apparently stochastic fluctuations in any approximation theory describing the effects of all of this at much larger scales. It seems quite reasonable first to try a classical, deterministic theory for the Planck domain. One might speculate then that what we call quantum mechanics today, may be nothing else than an ingenious technique to handle this dynamics statistically.”—

No. Here Is the Future of Btc
October 28th, 2018 1:31 PM NO. HERE IS THE FUTURE OF BTC (No more lies, means no more btc lies too) [T]his is of course an interesting thought experiment, but of course the difference is that such a metal does not exist, the precious metals are in demand for un-replicable reasons, and they are insufficient in volume, so their function of a monetary substitute (holding place of value) is actually oil. Fiat money consists of shares in the state, and is in demand because the state demands it for taxes, and demands it’s monopoly. Bitcoin consists of shares in the bitcoin network. There is trivial difference between electronic distribution of any existing currency, and the distribution of bitcoin OTHER than the FEES that can be extracted for use of those other currencies, in exchange for state insurance of those transactions, and that the INDIVIDUAL COIN HOLDER provides the function of clearances between different currencies (locales), at lower FEES (transaction costs) at slower rates (transaction rates), in the absence of insurance by the currency issuer (the state or the btc network). There is no known method of insuring the BTC network and it remains slow expensive and fragile. As I’ve written consistently since I think 2012, all we are doing with these currencies is performing research and development for the state, which will NOT use a distributed but CENTRALIZED transaction processor, on top of existing financial networks, using the encryption technology, and the state will destroy private networks because the state can INSURE those transactions as well as police the input and output of money into and out of such networks. There is absolutely zero chance of any other outcome. As far as I know the legacy of BTC and similar products will be as registries of title, thereby eliminating title companies. Registries of stocks and interests. And if someone is smart enough, to eliminate the check-cashing businesses which will then be able to provide cash distribution services in lieu of risk, for flat fees rather than interest.

—“Curt, Will You Take on The Physics Community Too?”—
October 28th, 2018 6:49 PM —“CURT, WILL YOU TAKE ON THE PHYSICS COMMUNITY TOO?”— (via the web site) TL;DR version: “No”. 😉 But it’s a good example of how to use testimonialism to test competing theories.
—“Hi Curt, I have been following you on Facebook for several months and enjoy reading your ideas. I had been gradually moving away from Libertarianism, and Propertarianism clarified my skepticism of the former and connected many dots.”—
Welcome then. Glad I could help. 😉 We’re all in this together it seems…. lol
—“However, it became clear to me that youâve missed a few things, most notably the century of fraud in physics (Quantum Mechanics). As far as I can tell, a particular anti-scientific philosophy (Kant) gave way to the rejection of fundamental scientific principles like absolute space, cause and effect, and identity. A group of mostly German physicists (Bohr, Heisenberg, Mach, Schrodinger etc) werenât capable of solving the electron classically, and having adopted the aforementioned philosophy, devised the foundations of contemporary physics. Despite discordance with classic laws and experimentation, they invented (justified) their work with nonsense, claiming that classic laws breakdown at the subatomic level and that things could exist and not simultaneously. And they could only predict the behavior of Hydrogen (QM breaks down for everything higher on the periodic table). This has given us about a century of physics bullshit, like the currently fashionable multiverse theory, rampant curve fitting, and string theory. In the late 1980s, Hermann Haus derived the nonradiation condition, which coincidentally addressed a major problem pre-WW1 physicists faced: why electrons didnât radiate energy under acceleration. One of his students, Randall Mills, was able to solve the electron using exclusively classic physics (Newtonian mechanics, Maxwells equations, special relativity, and Hausâs nonradiation condition). This was a revolution that few people know about to this day. And it permits the classical solution of a variety of other problems (molecular bonding, the unification of all physical forces, behaviors of fundamental particles, where gravity comes from, falsifying the Big Bang since the the universe perpetually oscillates). He also discovered that Hydrogen could go below the âground stateâ (not really the ground state) and become one of a variety of nonradiative states he calls Hydrinos. Hydrinos are the Dark Matter that makes up nearly all of the universe. Mills has formed a company, Brilliant Light Power, that is working to commercialize applications of his work, primarily by utilizing Hydrinos as a novel energy source. I mention this because firstly, Millsâ story, and the corruption in physics, neatly adheres to your description of cognitive biases. Itâs worth investing time to learn about. Secondly, the technological implications are extraordinary. Assuming he brings something to market soon, this will turn out to be the ultrasound imate black swan event. The end of all conventional energy sources, the end of the prevailing geopolitical order, the end of conventional transportation sources, and potentially the end of government as we know it. From my vantage point, this could be one hell of a plot twist to the revolution youâre predicting. “—
[I]’m aware of this of line of argument of course but it is a book length treatment (or more), that I don’t have the time, will, skill or credibility to put together … and I have my own field to deal with… lol I falsify scientific work by searching for categories of consistent human error, very much like a psychologist or social scientists looks for examples of cognitive and social bias. If I don’t find those I deflate the argument and test whether the person is making a claim for which the knowledge upon which such a claim, is not dependent. And worse, if I find evidence of deception due to incentives. Most of scientific research that is questionable today consists of problems of statistical difficulty with insufficient preservation of constant relations because of a lack of operational knowledge or understanding, and because of the DENIAL of the OBVIOUS UNDERLYING MODEL. The physicists are having a problem (I THINK) because the underlying model is obviously in conflict with the frame of reference necessary to measure their experiments. But I don’t think that’s a particularly uncommon perception. I think they just don’t know what else to do until they stumble (reverse engineer) that model by a lot of trial and error. So while there are many competing theories, and I won’t address the one you mention specifically, you are correct (in part) on the origin of the frame of reference (model problem), it’s amplified even more so by the Mathiness Problem (mathematical idealism), and because of math the set problem, and together by the series of formulae they use that DO predict MOST. So I see them as prisoners from multiple dimensions, the philosophical one being the most distant – and I just dont think I can hold those people off in an argument they way I can theologians, philosophers, mathematicians, economists, jurists, and political scientists. I mean, it’s going to take someone with more of a vested interest in it than I am to work through that problem. And it is not a problem of ‘deceit’ as it is in economics, politics, and law. Just … well… a waste of a lot of pencils.

I did not put ads on the site. It is because of the free hosting program forces them into the site. I have reasons for doing what I do. And no I don’t like it either. But for the present moment when I need to be able to move everything instantly, this is the most efficient method. I prefer to keep everything offshore. It’s just hard to do that at the moment for a host of reasons. Thank you very much for the thoughtful idea. Let’s keep fighting the good fight.

Explaining Consciousness Indirectly
October 28th, 2018 1:03 PM EXPLAINING CONSCIOUSNESS INDIRECTLY
—“Where does “the present” (initial, whole experience) as opposed to memory and the rest (post hoc, partial translations) fit into your model?”— Ben Quimby
[W]e create the latter in order to increase our chose and volume and intensity of consumption of the former.
—“But it *is* something that stands alone outside of all these categories, yes? Part of each moment, necessarily, does not carry over into any translation, making said parts, by definition, “ineffable”, correct?”— Ben Quimby
Well, you know, if you ask it that way I have to defend against misinterpretation. “experience” is our ultra-short-term memory continuously learning and forgetting the cacophony of stimuli from our nervous system, and the ‘echoes’ that they produce in from our memories, and the consequent chemical responses (feelings) that those echoes produce Memories require we merely ‘choke’ our senses and focus on (not sure how we do that, but I assume it’s the hippocampus) the echoes rather than the perceptions (senses). I know it’s related to how we focus our vision, and I know it’s an evolution of the prey drive, but that’s all I know. So there is no difference except focus. All experience is RECONSTRUCTED from the combination of sensation and memory. We just bias our focus on present(sense) vs past(memory) within that stream of stimulation. So there are not two separate things, but simply the resources devoted to senses vs recalls so that we experience greater now than the past. GIven that our brains allow us to do both of these at the same time only enhances the illusion.

Conservatism Understood
October 28th, 2018 4:35 PM
—“Currently, who are the best right wing philosophers/thinkers? Iâm a leftist, and I believe that itâs important to challenge the beliefs you hold, so Iâm mostly looking for authors/public speakers thatâll give me something worthwhile to engage with.”— Quora User
(repost, for educational value) CONSERVATISM UNDERSTOOD
- A conservative questions the overestimation of reason, and above all questions consensus. Conservatism is familial, stoic, pragmatic, and empirical. In other words risk averse to capital.
As a means of questioning, a conservative requires reciprocity (tort): american < british < anglo saxon < germanic < european < norther indo european in law. That law evolved from the oath (tell the truth, never steal, never flee, in combat).
A Conservative requires empirical results – and where empirical fails, the traditional is adequate, since traditional survived empirical tests in competition in reality.
A Conservative accumulates genetic, cultural, normative, institutional, physical, and territorial capital – attempting to pass on to future generations of his family, more than he himself inherited.
Conservatism is a eugenic group evolutionary strategy that increases accumulated capital through intergenerational transfer, using intergeneration lending, in order to produce increasingly noble families.
Ergo successful individuals in the market for craftsmanship, successful purchase of the franchise through military service, successful individuals in the market for marriage and child rearing, successful individuals in the market for industry, successful families in the market for noble (intergenerational) families.
In other words, conservatism(aristocracy) is a eugenic group evolutionary strategy. And while bipartite manorialism was practiced from 700, and aggressive hanging of up to 1% of the population every year after 1000, and an attempt to escape church-state nobility, and create an entrepreneurial nobility (meritocracy), succeeded by 1600, there was a great reaction to the english revolution, and a greater reaction to the french revolution. Thus while Locke,smith,hume,adams, and jefferson promised an aristocracy available to everyone, Burke, after the french revolution, and germans after that, recognized that the peasantry was even worse at rule (see russia) than the nobility.
The problem with today’s conservatism is that darwin and spencer were famous before the war, after the second world war, conservatism and eugenics were effectively banned from discourse, academy, and science. As such conservatives never (until perhaps 2000) restored empirical discourse to conservatism, because eugenics are antithetical to the experiment with democracy. This changed incrementally beginning in 76, through the 80s, and aggressively since 2000, and more aggressively since 2008. 1 – Soveriengty requires reciprocity 2 – Reciprocity requires rule of law (tort), jury(thang, senate, house of lords, supreme court), and an independent judiciary. 3 – Rule of law forces markets, since it incrementally suppresses each innovation in parasitism. 4 – Markets cause hierarchies, because they are necessary to voluntarily organize production. 5 – Markets are eugenic, because they are empirical means of testing industry and impulse. 6 – But they make possible liberty for those with property, freedom for those who labor, and subsidy for those who impose no costs on sovereignty, liberty, freedom, or property.** DOMESTICATION Man domesticated the human animal after he had learned to domesticate the non-human animal. And he did so by the same means. And the result in both domestication of the human and non human animal is the same: eugenics. CONSERVATIVES Most conservatives do not write philosophy, they run businesses, or write history, economics, science, and law. (I write because I was successful enough in multiple businesses to spend my time writing full time.) Conservatives also are actively suppressed in academy and media. This has been true since the end of the war and teh rise of the Frankfurt School, and the Postmodern school, both of which were necessary after the failure of marxist pseudoscience. (a pseudoscience marx died knowing, since he stopped writing as soon as he read the Mengerians, and kept silent only to keep the checks coming in from Engels.) AUTHORS TO READ Burke, Hayek, Burnham, Sowell, Buchanan, Murray, and maybe Nietzsche. Veblen. (The essayists are nonsense) Anyone in Hoover or Heritage institutions. READING LIST Propertarianism’s Reading List (https://propertarianinstitute.com/reading-list/). My reading list (above) contains most of the science weâve been looking for, while the pseudosciences dominated the mid to late 20th century under the marxist-postmodernists. Cheers Curt Doolittle The Propertarian Institute Kiev, Ukraine.

Curt Doolittle updated his status.
October 28th, 2018 12:52 PM FIXING LIBERTARIANISM’S FRAUD BY CONFLATIONARY SOPHISM (PILPUL)||Investment(Action) > Possession (Possession) > Ownership (Property). Don’t confuse the Imaginary(self), with the Moral (goal) with the Real (truth).
—“You can’t own an idea once it has been communicated.”–Wyatt Storch
[Y]ou can however prohibit commercial benefit from that – we do it all the time. The question only whether an idea or anything else non physical can be used non-commercially
—“Yes you can threaten people and hurt them and take their stuff. But you can’t assign ownership status to that which cannot be owned without faking reality.”—Wyatt Storch
Well, no, that’s a conflation of terms. You are using ‘owned’ which means ‘insured by third party’, versus ‘possessed’ (fact), versus ‘demonstrated Investment,’ or ‘demonstrated property’ (moral, under natural law). You can possess and use information, without consuming it unless you are the exclusive possessor. You only possess ownership of property rather possession of asset if it is insured by a third party. Everything else is simply deception by conflation. So one can possess information, and one can exchange it, but whether one can sell that information in the market, where the market is ensured by the third party, is up to the third party not you.
