    (diary entry)

    (You know, I love my god, but sometimes I wish he would use a little less … unpleasant means … of telling me what I need to do next. … Now, I admit that it is very hard to get through my thick skull and past the autism-barrier. And sure, I admit that I get stuck on sidetracks easily. And I admit most of all that I am resistant to changes in context. But given that I have devoted my entire life to his service. And despite the fact that he seems to be very demanding, and not terribly kind, you would think he would drop solutions and encouragement a little more obviously in my lap than the rather circuitous and painful route he almost always chooses. I am not selfish enough to think that he is testing me. I don’t think I have all that much agency anyway – I think I am merely a resource that will serve a purpose or be expended in trying. But the whole whip-the-boy-until-he-does-it kind of thing just seems … less productive than more proactive methods might be. … Now you see, I believe in god, I talk to god every day. I pray to him frequently. It’s a pretty personal relationship. But my god is nothing like the gods of Semites. That is just a stage costume or the masses. If I read history, he is far more like one of the original British, Germanic, Norse, and Greco-roman gods. And about as charming – so to speak. But it works for me. )

  • PEOPLE DON’T WANT TO PAY THE COST OF TRUTH – BECAUSE WE HAVE DIFFERENT ABILITIES

    PEOPLE DON’T WANT TO PAY THE COST OF TRUTH – BECAUSE WE HAVE DIFFERENT ABILITIES – AND INCREASES IN TRUTH ARE INCREASINGLY EXPENSIVE

    *Want > Justification > Critical Rationalism > Testimonialism*

    I have found that outside of people with university training in the physical sciences, that converting people from justificationism (particularly moral) to critical rationalism, is almost impossible.

    Yet I understand completely why: CR is a far more ‘expensive’ cognitive strategy – it’s almost a ‘privilege of those with ability’.

    The purpose of knowledge is action. And we all differ in the actions that we need to want to make, prefer to make, and joyously make.

    So the fact that we want, prefer, and take joy from, the action of seeking increasingly challenging methods of decision making, is in itself a privilege of ability, education, and rank.

    Now, try to take a Critical Rationalist and convert him to a Testimonialist, and you’ll encounter the same problem.

    Why? Because just as the cost of Critical Rationalist knowledge imposes a cost on the fulfillment of satisfaction by those seeking ends by justificationary means, the cost of Testimonialist Knowledge imposes a cost on the fulfillment of satisfaction by those seeking ends by Critical Rationalist means.

    Because the Critical Rationalist wants to preserve his discounts on the consequences of his speech, just like the justificationist wants to preserve the discounts on the consequences of his actions.

    METHODS OF MORAL DECIDABILITY

    To Act: Justificationism (disputes over actions)

    To Know: Critical Rationalism (disputes over persuasion)

    To Judge: Testimonialism (disputes over consequences)

    JUSTIFICATIONISM

    Justification isn’t true either logically or empirically – it’s a selection bias for action within normative limits.

    CRITICAL RATIONALISM

    Critical Preference isn’t empirically true – it’s a selection bias.

    Critical Rationalism isn’t complete – it’s a selection bias for action within cost-less (scientific) limits.

    TESTIMONIALISM

    Testimonialism is, as far as I know, empirically true, and informationally complete. It’s a selection bias for action within the scope of what is actionable by man.

    BETWEEN ONE AND THREE PERCENT OF THE POPULATION.

    The bottom is more costly than the top is beneficial.

    Those that are unemployable are not unemployable because of intelligence, but because of anti-social-behavior. Much of which is driven by the inability of individuals to tolerate their position in life due to dominance bias.

    This unemployability percentage varies from group to group with the higher the intelligence distribution appearing to produce smaller numbers, and the lower the intelligence distribution appearing to produce much higher numbers.

    However, in whites, we seem to have a higher distribution of neuroticism, (and high rates of depression) and in jews we seem to have disproportionate psychological problems across the spectrum but particularly in schizophrenia, manic depression, and depression. I have no meaningful data on asians or Hispanics (Mestizos) or their underclass the Carribean’s. But as far as I know blacks and jews carry disproportionate levels of mental illness in their genes.

    (There is a bit of data out there on this subject but we are talking about very NOISY stuff here. Mostly because of who uses medical care and who doesn’t varies a great deal. But as far as I’m able to ascertain, schizoprhenia – which is the end result of the depressive spectrum – seems disproportionatly in blacks and jews)

    Now the data says about what you would expect if you control for population sizes and access to health care:

    Amerindians

    Mixed Race.

    Whites

    Blacks

    Hispanics

    Asians

    But this says nothing more than who has insurance, government insurance, and can benefit from using it.

    The only measures I know of that are reliable are cases of hospitalization for schizophrenia, and the genetic markers for it.

    There is enough research at this point to show that across a body of research, conclusions are the same.

    —“Research showed a clear pattern wherein African Americans continued to display a long-term increased rate of Schizophrenia diagnoses, often three to four times as high compared to Euro-Americans. As speculated by previous researchers, Latino Americans were also disproportionately diagnosed at a more than three times higher rate than Euro-Americans with a Schizophrenia diagnosis. In consideration of a psychotic disorder diagnosis more generally, African Americans were more likely to be diagnosed than Euro-Americans. Latino Americans and African Americans both showed an increased lifetime rate of psychotic symptoms in comparison to Euro-Americans and Asians, as reported by clinicians. Even African American and Latino American minor consumers under the age of 18 were twice as likely to be diagnosed with a psychotic disorder as Euro-American youth.”—

    So intelligence distribution is a fairly good proxy except in the case of jews who carry a disproportionate genetic burden which some (jewish) authors have used to explain jewish CULTURAL paranoia mirroring white female MALE paranoia.

    Or, from my rather reductivitist position: by selecting for memory, literacy and verbal acuity jews have bred for and adapted to the female reproductive strategy.

    (Which I like to remind people is not a cognitive one, but an intuitionistic one. All our tribes do what we bred for. Our genders do what we evolved for. )

    ANd that rule of law and market fascism will solve this problem over time.

    BACK TO THE TOPIC

    the point being that our failure to preserve institutional methods of limiting the intergenerational damage of ‘carriers’ has been detrimental to our society. And that all forms of redistributino that we have engaged in, and all forms of immigration that we have engaged in, have done nothing more than impose costs at the bottom that the top – without 500 years of evolutionary technologica advantage over th e world – will eventually reduce our standard of living for all.

    doolittle and taleb.

    there is this wonderful movie. its the precursor to war games.

    from the early seventies. called colossus – the forbin project.

    in the movie the soviet and american supercomputers are aware of each other but have to learn to communicate.

    this process goes on a long time, and then they can, and they take over the world.

    the problem for taleb and i (mostly me because i understand the problem) is developing that language so that we could get on the same page.

    i think if we could have a serious conversation it might be good for both of us. but I don’t see why he would be interested.

    he comes very close to the connection every time he talks about mandelbrot, but he doesn’t quite get there.

    what he doesn’t yet grasp is this: the only way to win is not to play the mathematical game.

    stability consists of voluntary exchanges, not of calculations. why? because voluntary exchanges are within the realm of human cognition and like game theory and equations they are not within the realm of human cognition. Why? because there is less information in every judgment as abstraction increases.

    Aggregates are not possible to calculate. As he’s shown for years, it’s all noise.

    what does this mean?

    debt instruments are not resellable.

    doh!….

    this line of reasoning is not terribly intuitive but it’s actually the problem with information loss. Think of it as an act of fraud every time a debt instrument is resold. The only possible means of preserving the sanctity(truth content) of debt instruments (skin in the game) is to sell shares in receivables on the debt using divisible shares (ie: blockchain shares), where the issuer is required to retain x% of the capital as warranty of truthfulness.

    This kind of thing was not possible in the past. We lacked the tech for it.

    It is quite possible that the data that would be produced as a result of the long run observation of the above-suggested process would produce the empirical evidence that taleb is searching for.

    i suspect so.

    “THE SOLUTION IS SIMPLE: BE THE BIGGEST AND BADDEST”

    —“The female reproductive strategy drives whoever expresses it to seek the strongest patron to sponsor them, while the male reproductive strategy seeks brothers in arms to reciprocally insure each other against other groups of males.

    Females selectively reveal information to engineer the patron’s emotional investment, while males submit to the stronger guy by offering our violence in his service in return for loyalty.

    Asymmetric vs symmetric loyalties.

    So the solution is simple:

    Become the biggest, baddest guys anywhere and punish those who undermine us, and things fall back into place.”— Moritz Berling

  • TWO INSIGHTS: ‘THE PROBLEM OF THINKING IN INVERSE”, AND “THE PROBLEM OF THE FEMA

    TWO INSIGHTS: ‘THE PROBLEM OF THINKING IN INVERSE”, AND “THE PROBLEM OF THE FEMALE’S HEN-STRATEGY”

    Today’s two insights, one beautiful, one horrifying.

    1) spirituality is important and the language of spirituality necessary for the purpose of organizing in groups by means of incentives. But we can write laws and argue cases in Propertarianism and we cannot do that in the language of Nietzche, and Junger.

    When people hear me they do not realize that I do not see the problem of our time as rallying ourselves toward common interests, because in my mind we do not know what to rally in favor of, and we do not know how to stop the opposition by formal and institutional means, nor to maintain our defenses against them over time.

    Just as truth is what remains after we eliminate all error bias and deceit, sovereignty and markets are all that remain, once we eliminate violence, theft, fraud, MISINFORMATION AND DECEIT.

    So of course, I speak in NEGATIVES used to PROSECUTE, whereas most men want POSITIVES with used to RALLY.

    So without this understanding, the ‘right’ which is intuitionistic rather than intellectual,

    2) IT’S DECIVILIZING FEMININE STRATEGY IN GENERAL THAT AILS US: The global battle is against democracy and media under free deceitful speech, which has given women both the distribution mechanism and the proxy violence to overthrow their domestication, rather than simply seek legal parity. We desire equals with whom to cooperate, and are largely happy to hold our positions, because we are men. But women are like hens, in that they will perpetually destroy each other and everyone around them in order to achieve dominance by any means possible. Men are not good. But markets including a market for commons allowed them to conduct exchanges and cooperate while maintaining order. Women are not good. They are never good except to their children. We made them good by denying them alternatives, and democracy let them free.

    If you want to be horrified by uncomfortable scientific truths, then that is the one you should be most horrified by.

    NOT BEATING THE DOG, WOMAN, PROLE, INVADER

    I don’t beat a dog for licking its ass. It’s a dog. I train it to stop doing it in my presence.

    I don’t beat a woman for short sighted solipsistic moralism. She’s a woman. I ask her to stop doing it in my presence.

    I don’t beat a prole for his impulsivity. It’s a prole. I demand by threat of force, that he stop doing it in my neighborhood.

    I don’t beat a minority here for pursuing its interests. It’s a minority with competing interests. I demand by force of exit, imprisonment, or death it to stop doing it in my territory.

    I don’t beat my fellow warriors for letting dogs, women, proles, and minorities act uncivilized it in our nation. They’re fellow warriors. Instead, I criticise them for their laziness in suffering the licking of asses, the solipsism of women, the impulsivity of proles, and the conquest by minorities of our nation.

    Rule at high cost, and profit from it. Or be ruled at your cost, and suffer from it.

    COUNTERING THE TROLLS (humor)

    (you counter a Troll and a Not-An-Argument, and a Rally-and-shamer using the same strategy:

    1-find a group where someone signals heavily that you can make an example of in front of others.

    2 – state your central point. and then subtly insult to force the signaler to defend his signaling.

    3 – state your central point – and then incrementally race to the bottom faster than the opponent, depriving him of the opportunity to do the same.

    4 – keep repeating your central point – and displaying your dominance in the argument, and his inability to answer the central point, followed by another insult to maintain his defense of his signals.

    5 – this technique does not require much more than staying on message with the central point, and reiterating the usual juvenile responses.

    6 – Close by thanking the poor idiot for providing you with a forum for distributing the central point and demonstrating his inability to defend it. And then copy and paste the argument for others to share, while adding his name as a mention. Then cross post your article back to the original thread.

    Trevor Hebro —Jesus wept Curt, you sound like the special needs geriatric that try’s to talk to stranger on the bus—-

    I sound like a guy who gets laid. You sound like a guy who doesn’t. Hence the difference in our evaluations of reality, means of acting in it, and speech in communicating about it. 😉

    Actually, like any loving parent, I find children – even the children of others – cute when they rebel. I understand it is the unsatisfied mind fights its own non-correspondence with reality.

    Adults make arguments. Children whine, complain, criticize and ridicule what they don’t understand. It’s a way of preserving their confidence. Confidence that is necessary to face a world that is accommodating of their interests.

    I don’t see the love of children of any age as condescension but as appreciation for their struggle to mature into an adult who has control over his satisfaction. And as a good paternalist I see the rebellion of the unsatisfied as the courage to not surrender to fate, and to keep up the good fight, in the hope that someday they may find a way to achieve satisfaction with a world that does not value them.

    Ridicule is the last resort of the weak.;)
