  • Q: Most Philosophers Are Terrible Writers

    —“most philosophers are terrible writers”—

    Yep. Well, there are a number of good reasons, the first of which is the attempt to construct a new paradigm using existing language – some of which, like aristotle’s is clarifying, some of which like Heidegger is obscurant, and some of which like derrida is intentionally for the purpose of furthering deception. So between paradigmatic problems, novelty problems, and truth, analogy, poetic (nietzsche), fictionalization (Shopenhauer), and deceit (derrida, freud, adorno), and the academic failure to create a science out of formal logic (it’s all tautology so it doesn’t matter), then there is a lot of room for bad writing. lol 😉 I think writing well is very hard. I’ve been writing profusely most of my life and I don’t think I was really worth reading until I was in my thirties (although my subject matter was part of the problem). My subject matter is still a problem… lol But writing characters, scenes and dialog using the various points of view, in various order, with various plots, with various characters … I mean, I think it’s really hard to write fiction well. I can’t bear reading much of it. I’ve nearly lost my ability to read fiction. (which apparently is more common than I thought)

  • The World Returns to Normal.

    The Superpower is gone with the restoration of normalcy in the post-communist era – world powers are returning, and in doing so the world returns to normal. Every civlization has a core state. Core states are wealthiest and most powerful, and they constrain the actions of their civilizational members. India is a civilization, and china is a civilization, neither are countries, they are centrally managed civilizations, which is an advantage for a poor numerous people and a disadvantage for a wealthy people. I hope we are successful in preventing a world islamic power that we must fight like the world communist powers. We are still in the west fighting our own internal enemies in the financial, academy, state system. It is a mistake to think of the world as countries any longer. Oct 21, 2019, 9:09 AM

  • Military Action Is a Function of Teamwork Not Individual Achievement.

    Most right wingers focus on self improvement but most military action is a function of teamwork not individual achievement. Your primary weapon is physical fitness. Eighty percent of weapon effectiveness is learned in the first few weeks. That’s why riflement defeated professional warriors ending the feudal era.   Oct 21, 2019, 10:05 AM

  • Disambiguating P for Mass Consumption?

      How do we disambiguate P-Method, P-Law, and a P-Constitution Template, and P-Constitutions for Each Polity?

    1. The system of thought we call propertarianism – that would be better called ‘natural law’ or ‘Testmonialism’ – is a methodology that completes the sciences by completing the transformation of traditional philosophical categories of metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, politics, and aesthetics as well as the pseudo-sciences of psychology, sociology, and political science into a single science with a uniform fully commensurable operational vocabulary and logic. Where “Operational” might be better stated in philosophical terms “realism, naturalism, operationalism (human actions).

    2. With this uniformity provides the ability to write constitution and law in value-neutral prose fully commensurable across all peoples, all, disciplines and all contexts.

    3. We can write any constitution for any people using any group strategy in this P-law – as long as we state it under realism, naturalism, operationalism, sovereignty, and reciprocity – where reciprocity includes testimonial speech.

    4. The only unique properties of a P-law constitution are (a) the suppression of false and ir-reciprocal speech, (b) operational and technical language that prohibits misinterpretation, interpretation, and arbitrary extension.

    5. Using P-method, and P-law, I wrote the The P-consitution as a template for a flexible government that varies from authoritarian to market to redistributive dependent upon circumstances that create demand for different government, and it includes a set of options for government from authoritarian or authoritarian monarchy to multi-house social democracy, and everything in between.

    6. The P-Constitution for the USA is tailored for the problems of the Anglo Civilization (UK, USA, Canada, and Australia-NZ), and I would need to tailor one for western Europe, eastern europe (Intermarium), and one for Russia. But it’s possible to write one for any and every civilization in entirely truthful terms – and there is little reason to do otherwise, since each civilization survives by competing on its terms, and its terms can be stated truthfully (realism, naturalism, operationalism, testimonialism).
