  • The So-Called Trans Atlantic Alliance

    FALSE FRAMING 1: It’s not an alliance. The core state of Europe is and was Germany, and Germany(Sparta/Army) was conquered and has been a client state of Anglo civilization(Athens/Navy). USA Can no longer afford Client States without the Petrodollar to fund policing world trade. FALSE FRAMING 2: The reasons Europe can virtue signal opposition to the USA are (a) they do not pay their share of defense, and (b) because they do not share the problems of over-centralization (federalism) in the united states oppressing cultural differences between regions.

  • The Grammar of Pseudoscience

    (Sorry for interjecting on your post but it’s such a great example of psychologism versus incentives, it’s hard to let the opportunity pass.) INTERSECTIONALITY: The study of intersections between forms or systems of oppression, domination or discrimination. Or in economics (real social science, not pseudoscience) we call it the study of formal and informal institutions, and the competition between heterogeneous interests, in markets for association, cooperation, reproduction, production, production of commons, production of polities, production of group evolutionary strategies. IDENTITY POLITICS: A tendency for people of a particular religion, race, social background, etc., to form exclusive political alliances, moving away from traditional broad-based party politics. Or in economics (real social science, not pseudoscience) we call it ‘kin selection’ and ‘rational self interest’ because the cost of in-group cooperation(opportunity) is lower and the return on in-group signaling higher. The long term consequences result either in small populations and nationalism or large populations and castes. This is because our biological differences are extraordinarily differentiating in all markets for cooperation. THE GRAMMAR OF INTELLECTUAL FRAUD If suggestion, loading and framing are present in a discourse then it’s not science, it’s pseudoscience. All human behavior is reducible to the same laws as that of the physical universe: defeat of entropy. Emotions are just our reward or punishment for success or failure in fulfillment of those laws. All speech is either descriptive (in economic terms) or coercive (in psychological terms). And therefore truthful or fraudulent. There are only three methods of organizing human beings (coercion). 1) Force, 2) Compensation, 3) Ostracization (guilt, shaming, rallying). Truth is the only reciprocal compensation among those choices. Everything else is ignorance, error, bias, deceit, fraud, or predation. Cheers -Curt.

  • No, Philosophy(choice) Is Subordinate to Science (truth)

    Again, economics and law, defeat philosophy, religious tradition, and moral justificationism. Demonstrated vs Reported. Always and everywhere. —“Philosophy is more fundamental than economics. The notion of making choices, based on rewards and punishment, implies some form of ethics, which itself is a branch of philosophy. Economics is not a floating abstract, disconnected from ethics or philosophy.”— Mark Goodkin It’s actually just physics. Morality=reciprocity, an reciprocity is the only system of measurement a cooperative species can use and survive. Philosophy allows us to choose preferences, but truth and falsehood are in the domain of science. Historically this relationship was mistakenly reversed because it threatened the status quo. Philosophy(middle class) like religion (underclass) is just the record of dissatisfaction: opposition literature. The ruling class rules, and they rule by law, and law and economics require reciprocity to fund the requirements for maintaining power. Science has a great track record. Philosophy has very arguable (if not certainly) done more harm than good. And theology has certainly done more harm than all but malaria and the black plague.

  • There Is No Neutral Territory for Gods

    The strong do not start from the position of equality, or of desire for cooperation, but from the presumption that either you and yours create value via a productive exchange, or one’s you and yours are better punished, enserfed, enslaved, imprisoned, or killed. We deprive enemies of boycott. Either trade productively or die. Otherwise you are consuming the world’s resources which could be put to better use. Once you undrestand that our presumption is between extermination, enslavement, or productive exchange, you understand the folly of leaving open the option for boycott, resistance, or parasitism. There is no neutral territory for gods.

  • Every Woman Is Pandora, and We Are the Guardians of The Box.

    Love women. Do not debate women. Never debate women over preference or good, only possible or impossible. Women cannot tolerate refutation of their emotions. This is what deprives them of agency. They cannot tolerate being at fault in the minds of others – only when they fault themselves. Women’s “Intuitions (impulses)” are almost unbearable, and without training (Stoicism, Buddhism, Religion) they cannot cope with them, and if they can cope with them, they cannot still cope with the confusion created by the inability to trust those emotions and continuously fight them with reason. So this is the origin feminism, the success of postmodernism, and the female affinity for socialism and marxism, and female interest in literary rather than scientific thought: They are constantly seeking excuses not to discipline their impulses. Men must constantly suppress ours or danger will result in the near term. The problem is that if we don’t suppress women’s danger results in the long term. Every woman is pandora, and we are the guardians of the box.
