  • True Names

    TRUE NAMES (notes to self for current line of thought) —“Any sufficiently true property of the universe appears to the trained eye as a model rather than reality.”—Jonathan Page Constancy and determinism and true names. True = True Name. True name is “invariant”. If we pass the tests of dimensional consistency that I suggest with the 6/7 model, then it is very hard to say we do not have a true name. We can test the dimensions of the universe with mathematics. We can test the dimensions of cooperation with various forms of reason. But I am not sure that either in mathematics, or in reason, that once we surpass a certain (small) number of dimensions, that we are in-fact talking about a property of the universe, or whether we have entered the realm of models alone. There is possibly no limit to the manifold RELATIONS that we can model using dimensions to track those relations. I mean, this is what I suggest is a superior method of constructing artificial intelligences for very, very, fast searches. I suspect this is the long term answer to post-human intelligences. I kind of doubt that anything could touch it. And in this sense, mathematical searching *WILL* surpass proceduralism. What I am unsure about is whether we are describing the universe then, or whether we are describing a model constrained by the properties of the universe.

  • Modernity: Converting From Physical To Neuronal Stress

    ***Modernity limits the accumulation of damage to our cells, but it increases intellectual and emotional stresses dramatically. Neurons have taken the damage in the information era, that physical stresses have in prior eras.**** The Anglo world is as ‘crazy’ as the medieval. The difference is that the current ‘crazy’ is even worse for us than the previous forms of crazy. (thanks Ricky Saini for reminding me of this post. I’d forgotten about it, and it’s worth repeating.)

  • Why Is The Black Race Judged By Of Its Least Successful Members?

    It isn’t. It’s judged by the dominance of it’s race in failures of education, crime, civic behavior, business achievement, intellectual achievement, and artistic and literary achievement. The east asians and western europeans have aggressively killed off their lower classes through winters, starvation, enslavment, hanging, beheading, war, and a very severe justice system for thousands of years. The rest of the world has not. So the size of the underclasses in the black, arabic, turkic, hispanic, and southeast asian worlds is far higher a percentage than in the more northern climes. West and east were eugenic civilizations. Rice is a brutal system requiring disciplined work 360 days a year. Western winters are unforgiving.

    Humans think by stereotypes just as we think in all other categories. We have to. We cannot afford to interrogate every person we meet. We cannot pay the high cost of risk of trusting people from high risk groups. Instead, how can people from high risk groups signal (demonstrate) that they are good risks? Research has consistently shown, that contrary to popular myth, stereotypes are the most ACCURATE feature in social science. So people must rely on stereotypes, stereotypes are true, and it is the responsibility of people who are members of negatively stereotyped groups to change their behavior and signals so that they are visibly not a risk.

    When we say ‘we can’t judge this middle class black man’ or some other “Not All X Are Like That”, we are either committing a rhetorical fallacy or simply lying. Why? because the fact that we say most people of group X are a high risk, we are not saying that an outlier is. Yet conversely, we are saying (almost always correctly) that most people from group X are in fact a higher risk that we perceive our own group to be.

    We know the reasons for black underclass achievement: (a) the disproportionate size of the black underclass below 85 IQ, and the comparatively small sizes of its middle and upper middle classes, and total absence of an upper class, (b) earlier and more rapid maturity accompanied by the same level of hormones, leading to impulsivity and aggression, (c) lower verbal intelligence, (d) lower aggregate intelligence, (e) destruction of the black family by the progressive programs of the Johnson administration’s Great Society programs of the 1960’s – his attempt to mimc soviet resettlement programs from villages to urban areas without grasping the vast differences in Russian and black human capital. (f) the attempt to educate different races that mature more or less, more quickly or more slowly, at the same age under the same conditions. Educate black and hispanic men in what equates to military training and you will get good men out of it. You cannot ask humans in their youth to fight hormones that intense. Educating pliable asians and less pliable and more physical whites at the same rates is equally destructive. We can start asians and east asians one to two years earlier than whites, and it’s arguable that we should provide two more years for hispanics and three for blacks. It prevents schools from tailoring programs to the genetic needs of the children.

    We get nowhere by lying that we’re equally distributed. It’s liberal lies of equality that prevent us from developing institutions that support the needs of different genetic organisms, with different rates of maturity, different degrees of maturity, and different sizes of underclass.

  • How Likely Is There To Be A Nuclear Missile Launch In The Forseeable Future?

    For at least the past fifty years, the general opinion has been, and our strategic schools teach, that nuclear weapons are political not military in nature. It is relatively impossible to use them. 1) Because if one does use them, one is open for becoming the victims of their use. 2) Politically, it would render a country isolated, and perhaps so severely that economic viability would fall into question. 3) And they are so destructive to civilians it is very hard to make use of without repercussions even from one’s allies or one’s own people.
    The world operates on a basic principle that they are a last resort.
    Iranians, Pakistan, and north Korea are the outliers. But while public rhetoric is one thing, actually pushing the button when doing so means that it is very likely that everyone in your country might die because of it, and certainly you will, makes it an unlikely thing to happen. Pakistan and India hold each other at bay. North Korea makes a lot of noise in order to obtain commercial and political bribes to balance out its horrid economy. And Iran is very cautious about building its program – and while the Iranian government is absurd by our standards, the Iranian intelligence service and its military are not. They are better off slowly gaining weapons and accumulating power through economic, political and conventional military means. We have to recall that for Russia, Iran and Venezuela in particular, rattling sabers increases the price of oil. So they try to rattle them whenever it will profit them.
    So, it doesn’t APPEAR likely that anyone would use nuclear weapons. But a crystal ball that works doesn’t exist.
