    ADDITION
    a) has a point, b) is evil, c) is stupid, d) is mistaken, cognitively biased, overconfident, attention-seeking, dominance-expressing, and insufficiently knowledgeable to make such an statement or argument.
    Almost always (d). (PS: IMO, RPM always has a point)

    FREE WILL

    IMU (in my understanding) free will must exist out of the necessity of neural economy (calculability) if for no other reason than fragmentary information in high causal density always requires a forces a wide margin of error. We see synchronicity for certain since people with similar experiences, and who are subject to the same information, come to similar conclusions in similar time frames. But we see everything else as well – including continuous discordant thought word and deed that is counter to those of others. So we demonstrate free will. Simply out of error. From this understanding we see science is not a via positiva function, but instead a via negativa function by which we reduce error by increasing coherence by increasing correspondence.

    Sure I can. I can work in the interests of babies, children, youths, failures, and morons, as well as people with agency. I mean – that’s what hierarchies are for. My interests are to ignore morons and talk only to smart people. That said, morons are always going to chime in….

    PROP THOUGHT PROVIDES STOIC REWARDS

    (author gave me permission to share)

    (this is not an uncommon observation)

    —“Hi Curt

    Can I share something with you..?

    I’m trying to formulate some thinking around the implications of P … particularly in how Operationalism etc may relate to “individual well being”.

    Background: I’m going through a difficult situation with child custody right now… A lot high stress exchanges, bad feelings, shaming, baiting by from ex wife, gossip in local community. (rrgsm)

    However, I’m also getting a great deal satisfaction learning to incorporate testimonials into daily life. And it’s helping these immediate circumstances.

    Seriously: Tell people to focus on ONE particular video “Propertarianism – Testimonialism: Epistemology”

    Now, just thinking through some observations: As I shift my thinking towards P’s Operationalism and Testimonial epistemology…I’m finding a correlative shift of experience in my emotional states.

    Quite strikingly so.

    And I’m now wondering if there must be some direct causality between adopting the conceptual frameworks of P

    and subsequent real time changes in neurochemical/cortical function. e.g. that using P in an daily capacity instantiates higher cortical activity and accelerates and reinforces optimum levels of cognitive performance. And I think it’s because modes of thinking with P causes adrenal “fight-flight” activity (and clouded judgement) to subside.

    Somehow the INTERNAL COHERENCY of P seems to be a significant factor. So, does the multi-dimensional coherency of the conceptual approach (P) have some direct resonant relationship towards cortical functioning?

    Has this angle been discussed anywhere? Do you think it is possible to describe the emergent neurochemical basis (that allows for clear thinking) but as a ramification for having adopted P (Operationalism and Testimonialism) in particular?

    Cheers!”—

    (Bill Joslin Explains)

    Endocrine stress: P derived conclusions allow the hypothalamus to calm after acquisition (no more effort to needed to support or uphold the conclusion) – a high stressed CORT driven endocrine aligns with floating conclusions which require constant effort to maintain.

    The RESULT being a stoic calm opposed to a stoic calm being the practice to achieve calmness: “Odin grants a hard heart”

    FWIW: King of the hill learning might actually be a biological imperative for learning P as it’s an Adrenal (i.e. not CORT) driven process.

    —“How do you get women to leave the workforce? Reduce incentives for them to choose a career over family? If so how would that work?”—John Smith

    CLARIFICATION

    It’s not important that women leave the work force so much as that we lower the burden of not being in the work force so that women work for luxuries, socialization, and joy rather than out of economic necessity at the expense of family.

    There are women who will always feel the drive for achievement just like men do. There are plenty of women however, who would prefer to maintain a comfortable middle class lifestyle, while raising their children without compromise.

    HOW:

    1. Distribute liquidity (money supply) directly to consumers, instead of thru the financial system.

    2. Eliminate Consumer Interest on durable goods.

    3. Restore voluntary disassociation, so it’s not necessary to ‘buy a home where good schools are’ rather than have good schools by prohibiting peoples who ruin them. We can make most neighborhoods good neighborhoods again -without much difficulty.

    4. Eliminate subsidy for non-degrees in non-subjects.

    5. Eliminate communal property, alimony, and child support.

    6. Tax Freedom for self-support of 4 or more children.

    7. Involuntary Sterilization of dependent mothers.

    8. Restore universal male service, and continual fitness for service through age 60.

    9. Reduce junior and high school to half time and part time work thereby eliminating jobs for immigrants.

    10. This ends the ignorance, desocialization, and lack of agency an of teenagers such that they do not enter maturity with pent up sexual, social, economic, frustrations.

    We subsidize bad behavior. end the subsidies and the behavior will end.

    —“Those solutions lighten the burden of raising a nuclear family and help people avoid debt pitfalls. So that definitely helps women choose not to prioritize work over family. However, there is social status and wealth you can get from choosing a career over family. Women, like all humans, like wealth and social status. What’s stopping a female from becoming career oriented because she wants wealth and social status?.”–John Smith

    Women are not like men. They are much more signal driven. Change the signals and change the behavior. We will never turn back the clock. But we can rebalance the distribution.

    —“Very interesting Curt, thank you.”–John Smith
