  • Learn and Teach Through Imitation and Iteration

    Mar 2, 2020, 2:59 PM LEARN AND TEACH THROUGH IMITATION AND ITERATION by Brandon Hayes Follow some P members, and use the “see first” Friendship or Follow option. Read the posts daily. Most of what you see you won’t be able to unsee. Meaning you’ll have know it to be true but never had the words to articulate it. Share those posts that gift you clearer frames; The ones that give you the “aha” moments. Re-phrase the frame in common vernacular as to be able to explain it to friends face-to-face. The technical arguments irritate many (they ought to; you’ve been lied to); the practical knowledge however is always received kindly.

    Mar 3, 2020, 7:20 AM “SHOULD ABRAHAMISM BE CALLED HUMAN NATURE?”

    —“You talk around the issue rather than the issue it self, what you call abrahamism should be called human nature, it rests in each of us and we have the choice to choose which side we feed, what i love about p is it spells out the law to where no one can wiggle around it, the thing i hate about p is yall talk yourselves out of it.”— Justin Coone

    (Hi Justin 😉 ) Everything humans do is human nature. Math, science, engineering, medicine, law and economics are human constructs: systems of reasoning that describe the world. Aristotelianism, Platonism, Confucianism, Abrahamism and less so Buddhism and Hinduism are systems of reasoning (logic in the lesser sense), that persist group strategies. The question is why europeans developed Math, science, engineering, medicine, law and economics and other people developed judaism, christianity, islam, and marxism, neo-marxism, postmodernism, feminism, and universalism. Group strategy. That said, we can use the law to peacefully suppress the use of science to create physical weapons of mass destruction, and suppress the use of abrahamism to create informational weapons of mass destruction. Using P-Law we can create heterogeneous or homogenous localities, counties, and states to serve the wants of any and all. And the markets will justify or falsify our ‘theories of social organization.’ We just can’t lie about it. And we don’t need to have a civil war to see who wins. P-law is the solution.

  • Testimony

    Ryan Drummond: I often tell Alice: “I don’t feel like I really live a human life any more. I just walk around processing information and responding to stimuli accordingly. It’s strange. But it gets things done in accordance with natural law.” I think once you start unpacking things in that sort of way – you feel more machine than man. But there is a deep, deep comfort in it. And an immense sense of control and understanding. Eric Danelaw:  yeah. let’s commiserate. 😉 It’s kind of creepy. But you have SO MUCH AGENCY. Ryan Drummond:  I think I will always find it a bit creepy, yet comforting. But not quite comforting enough…because Agency is omniscience and omnipresence, and I certainly have neither of those. Perhaps that’s why I find it creepy… We have much more work to do as a species…

  • Pot affects the commons

    Mar 8, 2020, 1:34 PM Pot affects the commons for certain, and we still don’t know whether it’s good or not, and how to judge it. It decreases awareness, aggression, agency, and reproduction. Combined with pornography and continuous sedation by entertainment produces detachment on a scale not seen since the opium wars. That said we are currently running an experiment in self sedation that appears to perform the same function as Soma without state intervention. If it makes people tolerate modernity so that they can continue to be ruled, exploited, displaced, replaced, and conquered, then it will have done what we predicted it would. If not for democracy I would welcome it because it provides mindfulness and a docile underclass and working class population that all rulers seek.
