  • Idiomatic and Ostensive vs Imperative and Declarative.

    “Privileging the Meaningful Over the Truthful Allows One to Discount the Declarative and Secure the Opportunity to Lie.”

    by Bill Joslin (genius) [I]n Ganz’s terms, Generative Anthropology is idiomatic and ostensive (also speculative) whereas Propertarianism is imperative and declarative. What allows for the apparent contradictions is not accounting for the inquisitive (questions as a distinct set opposed to a subset of the imperative). Identifying what question one attempts to answer distinguishes the meaningful from the truthful and why these are not always interchangeable.Privileging the meaningful over the truthful allows one to discount the declarative and secure the opportunity to lie.

  • Summers on The Cancer of Runaway R-Expression

    —“Society is yet another biome – an ecosystem. Even vultures have an important role to play. It’s when the /r tries to replace (or successfully overruns) the apex /K that we get system imbalance and social cancer.”—Anne Summers

    [I] hadn’t thought of that analogy but yes, cancer is uncontrolled hyper consumption growth that breaks the balance between cells and the host. So yes, r overringing K is simply the sociological expression of cancer by behavioral information rather than genetic information.

    [T]ruth pertains to truth bearance (transmission of a claim which can be tested for “true-falseness”.) Meaning pertains to coherence to a frame. They can coexist, but truth pertains only to coherence with the existential frame (does it exist). Because it has this quality of coherence (to existence), we can ignore the limit (that it is limited to the existential frame) and then argue it on the merits of meaning. Meaningful statements may or may not be truth carriers – declarations on the state of affairs of existence, by definition, must carry truth or they are not declarations on the state of affairs of existence… they are not declarative statements. The declarative and truth pertain to one frame – that being the existential frame (does it exist or not). Dismissing this limit is what seals the opportunity to lie.

    ==== To Expand on what Bill Said: Truth: the one most parsimonious frame of continuous, complet decidability. Gans is a marxist postmodernist in the french model, picking up after girard, and combining his ‘memes’ with chomsky’s generative grammar. Otherwise its just pete and repeat. The authoritarians cant use truth. The anti-darwinists can’t use truth. The irreciprocalists can’t use truth, so they follow the social constructionist method, which Girard argues is effectively a ‘frame war’ where parties compete for the best lies. Since such frames are not decidable only internally coherent (not even consistent), and not correspondent, there is no method of defeating them except by either superior lies (better market service of fantasy), or truth and law. Since truth is decidable and law is decidable it is possible to prosecute all frames other than truth, through coherence, consistency, correspondence, rationality, reciprocity and completeness, and it’s good. Nothing that can be produced by fraud cannot be produced by truthful contract. SO the only reason to lie is to avoid reciprocity and contract. Feminine justificationism of anything. Male adjudication of anything. conformity and comfort, truth and discomfort. -Curt

    September 19th, 2018 11:30 AM [I]f you are trying to manipulate the market by policy, or if you are trying to time the market as an investor, that is mostly NOISE that varies unpredictably. The SIGNAL is demographics, rates of reorganization of memories, and patterns of sustainable specialization and trade, and technological opportunities, remaining to exhaust. So when you say ‘economist’ which are you predicting? Verisimilitude in noise? Or the determinism in signals? We all think in time preferences or better said, ‘frequencies’ of time. Some of us immediate, short, medium, long, and very long given our resources, knowledge and abilities. The reason I’m ‘right’ is that I see noise as evidence of state of the signal, and am concerned about long term capital, not short term income.

    Reputation > Religious > Legal > Credit > Information > AI. As tech and population increase, so do the means of policing behavior. The alternative is the city and nation state. China does have a real problem however, since the population is so large and the chinese people are ‘not trustworthy’. So the government’s plan is to automate reputation management, just as they used the red army to impose policy in the past.
