    Every increase in explanatory power has been the result of a counter intuitive discovery that caused a costly revision of existing categories, relations and values. Just how it is. Your simple sacred cows die. New generations of superior sacred cows evolve. The slaughter continues anew. And in this stepwise fashion evolution leaves behind the detritus of past utility. 😉

    metaphysical levels: commensurability of operations(changes in state) of constant relations. We have not made the intellectual transition to external coincidences of constant relations at increasing scales ( see lie groups). We are stuck in linearity of relations just as pre einsteinian thought was stuck in length. And we are just beginning to change from studying measurements of averages in state to operations possible to cause changes in state..

  • I just want to point out that hoppe refers to economic science (falsification) b

    I just want to point out that hoppe refers to economic science (falsification) but he himself relies entirely upon economic rationalism (justification), And he confuses philosophical positivism (which never occurred) with scientific skepticism (which is how science is practiced). What’s the difference? Justification (excuse making) = bottom up rationalization. Positivism = justification through empiricism (top down). Science: a MARKET for ‘recipes’, where the stories (theories) provide searches (opportunities) for applications of the recipe, and where application of the recipe refines or falsifies the searches (opportunities). Science functions as just another market for actions (recipes). A market laundered of ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, and deceit by the continual use of measurements in a competition between logical (mental) and physical instruments.

  • The Relationship Between Truth And Markets?

    —“Curt, What is the relationship between truth and markets?”— A Friend || Truth > Trust > Trade Velocity > Wealth. All economic advancement consists of saving (compression) of time by the increase of productivity.

    —“Occultism to some people seems to be an intellectual diabetes from having too much time and too little responsibility in their lives. Who has time to invest in such stupid crap? I mean, I have kids for Christ’s sake. And a job, and I’m enrolled in university courses in the meantime. My demand for practical utility and therefore empirical truth, is very noticeably higher than that of childless consumers of intellectual narcotics.”— A Friend Literature of escapism comes in many forms. ‘Philosophy’ and ‘essay’ is one of them.
