@Rhodok I’ve been sick since the first week of september (four and a half months) and i’m just getting over it now. This week is the first time since august I felt I could both work hard and think straight – so it’s showing up in my writing. Hopefully I can stay healthy for a while. đ
( Love you brother. Lets keep fighting the good fight. đ )

@fattylumpkin Thomism is a reaction to the classical restoration of knowledge (Aristotle), and his solution was that whenever science and scripture conflict, science is correct. Religion is wisdom. Science is true. We know this because if god created the universe, and science descxribes the laws of the universe, then those who wrote scripture were but fallible men who did the best they could at the time.

6. There are only so many axis of self-delusion possible:
(a) The physical: Magic to Pseudoscience
(b) The verbal: Sophistry to Idealism (philosophy, ideology)
(c) The intuitionistic: Occult to Religion (Supernatural, Theology)
(d) Avoidance, Evasion, and Denial (see HBD denial, genetic denial)
(e) Blame and undermining (see marxism, neomarxism, feminism, postmodernism, pc-woke)
(f) Social construction by Storytelling any or all of the above (environmental saturation, institutionalizing lying)
(g) Hedonism: hyperconsumption, sex, alcohol, and drugs
7. So, given the malincentives to reform in the academy, we must expect at least one generation to die off before we see reform in the evolutionary, behavioral, physical ,and logical sciences (despite some of us working very hard to bring it about.) đ

Q: âHow do you define The Existence Dilemma? Would the universe exist because it is a simulation and also because it is the opposite of a simulation? Could there be an infinite number of factors that make the universe exist?” Itâs not a dilemma itâs a sophism. There are no paradoxes or dilemmas. (Really) Despite talking heads, there are no mysterious processes remaining in the universe. We merely lack means of measuring what is an exceptionless regularity in the universe, we call its first principle or cause: under pressure the quantum background (zero point) has only expansion (entropy-disorder) and aggregation (mass-order) available to release the stress. The universe is purely classical. âMathinessâ is a pseudoscience. (Mythology) Despite talking heads, in a universe under pressure the same competition for solutions to stress will manifest in predictable means. The only difference would be in velocity, frequency and amplitude of variations in the quantum background. In other words, only one optimum set of laws will emerge and they will produce an invariant outcome. Why? geometry limits orbitals (puzzle pieces), and orbitals determine potential connections. In other words, the universe is purely geometric at all levels, and there is only one solution that is survivable, but that solution will emerge in some form regardless of the initial state. Despite talking heads, we have no evidence of whether our observable universe is singular, whether it exists inside a greater macro universe, or whether our universe is but another bubble in a froth of multiple universes. However, we have no evidence or logic that suggests any other variation on this universe can exist. Everything suggests not. There is no knowledge yet by which we can predict which organization of universes: singular, container, or bubbles exist. The computational behavior of a universe cannot be simulated except as the universe itself. In other words we cannot be living in a simulation. Humans have an innate desire for discounts on the first principle of human behavior: acquisition(retention, consumption). This principle manifests as âthe greatest return in the shortest time with the least effort, with the greatest certainty, at the lowest risk.â This manifests in our bodily economy. In our neural economy. in our behavioral economy. in our social economy. in our political economy. In other words, weâre all looking for discounts. And some of us are looking for âcheatsâ. In other words, whether ideas, beliefs, ideologies, philosophies, religions, hyperconsumption, or drugs we seek to obtain discounts on existence âcheatsâ. One of those cheats is metaphysical. It is the equivalent of the hunter-gatherer imagining the undiscovered valley full of rivers, greenery and fresh game. And nothing more. (more…)

FOR THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED IN LEARNING P-LAW
(The Science of Decidability and Unification of The Sciences)
— “Hi just a curious individual here who read your bio and was interested. Specifically if you have published any research paper, book or anything that could introduce me to some of your work.” —
My work is online in video on youtube and on the institute site on the web.
The Natural Law Institute on youtube
youtube.com/channel/UCpJykKGRQ4601DzVkkGk7bA/
and The Natural Law iIstitute on the web.
naturallawinstitute.com
CAUTION: It is a bit like learning economics, programming, and law at the same time. Itâs not the kind of thing you pick up easily. Itâs more a synthesis of all stem courses into a set of first principles – the unification of the sciences.
It’s like the Darwinian evolution in biology for the behavioral sciences. Except it’s harder. lol

WHERE DOES KNOWLEDGE COME FROM?
THE CORRECT ANSWER
Q: âWhere does knowledge come from?â
COGNITION
BEGIN LOOP
Sensation -> Integration -> Perception -> Auto Association -> Recursion (Prediction) -> Attention -> Wayfinding (justification) -> Recursion (falsification) -> Survival -> Action.
END LOOP
Thatâs quite literally what the brain does when we think.
EPISTEMOLOGY
BEGIN LOOP
Observation -> Auto Association (intuition) -> Idea -> Falsification(Reason, thinking) -> Survival -> Hypothesis -> Falsification (experiment, action) -> Survival -> Theory (reason+empiricism) -> Publication (action) -> Falsification (application) -> Survival -> Surviving Theory (reason+empiricism+market_application – > Falsification (Discovery of Limits)
END LOOP
Thatâs quite literally what we do to produce knowledge.
METAPHYSICAL PRESUMPTION
Those theories that survive, and evolve into unconscious presumptions in a body politic. Until they encounter sufficient market failures to require reapplication of the Epistemic Loop above.
SUMMARY AND ANSWER TO THE QUESTION
Knowledge evolves from a continuous stream of observation of cause and effect from the individual to the group to the civilization to mankind.

THE SYNTHESIS OF MASTER-SLAVE MONOPOLY INTO MALE-FEMALE-RECIPROCITY
My work differs from both Christianity (semitic priestly peasantry) and Nietzche (european aryan arsitocracy) in that both Christianity and Nietzche are proposing either-or propositions, while I propose continuing the Thomist synthesis of the masculine-feminine by natural law.

THE PESSIMISM OF ECONOMISTS EXPLAINED
The purpose of legal, financial, and economic advice, is to temper animal spirits by exposing risks so that those risks can be mitigated. By and large economists lawyers, financial professionals, and economists do not identify creative opportunities – only failures: poor laws, poor financial arrangments or utilizations, and unserved markets. So these three disciplines are empirical systesms that inform ‘creative’ invsetors, entrepreneurs, marketers, and managers on the avoidance of risks. It’s this equilibrium between the via positiva opportunists and the via negativa risk managers, that ‘calculates’ how organizations continue to survive. đ
