—“Curt Doolittle If someone kills something, and nobody punishes them for doing so, does that mean the thing they killed has no value?”— Michael D. Abbott omg that is a really really smart question. Really.. Um, if that person was not insured by others, then it means it did not have sufficient value to insure. That does not mean it had no potential value. —“It’s not only the things we pay for. It’s also the things we punish for as well, yes?”—Michael D. Abbott Um, I would ask you to be more precise but I think, yes. The fact that we punish for it, (insure it) is evidence of the value of something. The fact that we don’t (insure it) is evidence that we don’t’ Lets just remember that we’re a little stupid now and then… 😉

It’s Just Science.
You see, let a thousand nations bloom, and let a thousand philosophers bloom. Propertarianism is just science. What you do with that science is not my business – other than to enjoy the works you make with it.

–“What Are the Factors Causing Such Widespread Mental Illness?”–
—“In your opinion , what are the most salient factors causing such widespread mental illness that we can realistically address ?”—Edgar Braintree 1) de-socialization, 2) dissolution of the family. 3) dissolution of civic society and its institutions. 4) de-norming of society 5) school is wasted after 5th grade and counter-correspondent with reality. 6) lack of physical development and exercise in men. 7) De-competition of the male experience and therefore the incentives of males to function in society. In effect we are making it impossible for people to calculate a ‘fit’.May 19, 2018 8:59pm -

The Spectrum of The Feminine
1) The Feminine Strategy (Undermine by gossip, ridicule, shaming) 2) The Shrill Femmes (Amer. Post-Prostestant) 3) The Degenerate Femmes (Fr. Post-Catholic). 4) The Dishonest Femmes (Ashk. Socialists-Marxists) 5) The Violent Femmes ( Isl. Fundamentalists ) (Horrified Yet?)

Commensurability Evolves Grammatical Specialization
Now, in order for each of us to create commensurability between ideas we tend to specialize in one of the grammars, and pull from other grammars as necessary. Myself I learned history first, physics and math second, algorithms third, and economics fourth. My understanding of psychology was produced by indoctrination into the “Predictive Index” which is somewhere above MBTI and below Big Five and the Minnesota Multiphasic (MMPI). So I have been thinking in ‘incentives’ (not types) for the entirety of my adult life. Economics is just an extension of thinking in incentives. Praxeological thinking an operationalization of incentives. And operationalism the use of human scale commensurability. And when combined with algorithms and the study of artificial intelligence – not neural networks, but probabilistic decision trees (similar to Taleb’s work in finance), this continued the process by which I was able to insulate my thought (deflate) emotions and incentives. Most people fall into one of the grammars and we think of this as a ‘way of thinking’. So you find people that choose frameworks from the occult, to the supernatural (theological), literary-rational (think continental philosophy), to the literary, to the moral, to the historical, to the empirical (think skeptical), to the legal to the scientific. And to different pionts in between. Some people have less organized minds and pick and choose from each as alnalogies or facts, but cannot make arguments except by contrasting such randome picks. These people rely upon “ordinary language grammar” Other people develop frameworks of argument and understanding and at this point they then do specilize in one of the grammars because otherwise they cannot find commensurability. Others hyper-specialize and reframe everything into one of the grammars. So you find scientists(aristotelians), rationalists(socratics), literary-ists(Platonists), and theologians (Saulists and Augustinians and muslims), and every variation thereof. What I have done is hyperspecialize operational grammar, because it produces commensurability across ALL THE GRAMMARS. And this is the whole point: commensurability.

Combining Politics and Religion
—“Politics and religion are different and are extremely hard to mix together”—James Portocarrero Judaism and islam do it. The church was too weak to do it. Chinese never had the problem. WHY: homogeneity = reason. Heterogeneity = Religion. THAT’S THE REASON The problem is heterogeneity (diversity). Religion = Stagnation to create homogeneity that doesn’t exist. Law = Adaptation to change in homogeneity that does exist. REALLY. THAT’S IT. There is a reason for ‘demand’ for religion There is a reason for ‘demand’ for socialization.
