Request For Donations To Cover Costs Of Video Production Of Our Roundtable
LINK: https://www.patreon.com/propertarianism Most of you know that we’re producing a video of a Roundtable with me, Duchesne, Macdonald, Sunic, and Jorjani on the subject of “Circumventing Postmodernism and the Frankfurt School”. This video is about three hours of content that we will edit down. It is our first domestically (USA) produced content. Usually we produce our work overseas (where it’s vastly cheaper) For a variety of reasons, we have run over budget by quite a bit. You may or may not know that Megan serves as the organizational leadership of the Institute, (my boss really). And she has asked me to ask for donations to the Patreon account in order to cover our overages (about 3K). Every little bit matters. Please contribute if you can. Thanks to all of you for everything you do. -

The universe operates on very simple rules, but does a great deal with those very simple rules. Humans, as part of that universe, operate on very simple rules, but we do a great deal with those very simple rules. There is nothing incomprehensible. It’s just eliminating all the ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism, fictionalism, and deceit, that we are either born with or accumulate. Was language invented to lie? Language was clearly not invented to tell the truth or it wouldn’t be nearly impossible for us to do so without so much effort. Instead, language merely evolved and like violence can be put to moral or immoral use. -

I see way too many murder by cop that’s the result of (a) one officer instead of three, (b) failure to de-escalate, (c) overemphasis on the use of weapons instead of desescalation. The end result is too much equipment, the wrong kind of training, and too many benefits, and not enough personnel per car. This is the result of attempting to be economically efficient because of the high cost of labor. Which is nuts. Since it’s not exactly like there is a shortage of people willing to join the force, particularly if their job is to carry nothing other than pepper spray, tasers, handcuffs, in support of a single armed officer per car. There is absolutely no reason for the urgency used to bring people into submission. None. Thats all a consequence of failing to use numbers and de escalation, instead of concentrating violence in a single individual. -

So it’s correct to call apriorism an ideal grammar, but not a formal grammar. Thankfully I finally know how to talk about the grammars of each incremental dimension… sigh. Mathematical grammars are not contingent because of constant relations. That’s their beauty. The problem is they’re non causal. Linguistic (Philosophical) grammars are contingent. That’s their weakness. Operational grammars are not contingent. And they’re causal. That’s their beauty. -

Grammar A grammar defining formal language L is a quadruple (N,T,R,S), where N is a finite set of nonterminals, T is a finite set of terminal symbols, R is a finite set of productions, and S is an element of N. The set T of terminal symbols is L’s alphabet. Nonterminals are symbols representing language constructs. The sets N and T should not intersect. S is called the start symbol. Productions are rules of the form: alpha->beta, where both alpha and beta are strings of terminals and nonterminals, alpha contains at least one nonterminal. Sentential forms for grammar G=(N,T,R,S) are defined by the following rules: S is a sentential form and if alphabetagamma is a sentential form and production beta->delta belongs to R, then alphadeltagamma is a sentential form as well. L is the set of all strings which are sentential forms consisting entirely of terminal symbols. For a language defined by a grammar, recognition whether a given string (expression) belongs to that language is, in general, a non-trivial task. All languages defined by grammars are recursively enumerable sets. 1. A grammar G is called right linear if all its productions have the form A->alphaB or A->alpha, where A,B in N and alpha is a string of terminal symbols. 2. A grammar G is called context-free if all its productions have the form A->alpha, where A in N and alpha is a string of terminal and nonterminal symbols. 3. A grammar G is called context-sensitive if all its productions have the form alpha->beta, where both alpha and beta are strings of terminal and nonterminal symbols and the length of alpha is not more than the length of beta. 4. A grammar G is called unrestricted if it does not belong to categories 1 through 3. This hierarchy of grammars was introduced by N. Chomsky. The set of languages defined by grammars of every category is a proper superset of that for the previous category. The languages defined by grammars of categories 1 through 3 are recursive sets. A language can be defined by a grammar of category 1 iff it is defined by a regular expression.
