  • The Process of Cognitive Development

    |Cognition| Analogistic > Theoretical > Axiomatic > Operational  by Bill Joslin So the process of cognitive development and concept creation would follow this spectrum. 1) Analogistic : abductive, fictional, imaginary, free association, imaginable – hypothesis creation. 2) Theoretical – inductive, narrative, possible, hypothesis development 3) Axiomatic – deductive, descriptive, deterministic, testable, probable, provable law proposal 4) Operational – descriptive, directive, decidable, actionable, warrant able, testable, falsifiable – creation(discovery) of law A (spectrum) process of constant disambiguation leading to more effective action (increases in agency) – which is why some may get stuck at one position and then assert each as separate discrete entities which are opposed to each other (a type of cherry picking) versus steps toward disambiguation (I think you did it Bill Joslin …. damn!) 😉

    DEFINING YOURSELF BY YOUR RELATION TO ANOTHER

    by Bill Joslin

    If I define myself based on what you are i.e. I am the victim of your oppression, and hold this the core of my identity, how can I live with you? How can I live without you? How can my identity exist without it vandalizing your identity? How can you exist without it being an imposition on my identity?

    It’s f#cking crazy-making childishness, no?

    THE NEEDS OF THE WEAK, THE WILL OF THE STRONG

    Moritz brings up yet again that many young men want a new religion. And their criteria for a philosophy, is simply an inspirational theology. And I’m fully aware of this criticism. Propertarianism is structured as a philosophy out of utility – the utility of falsifying rationalist philosophy. But what I’m writing is LAW. Uniting science (physics, economics, sociology, psychology, metaphysics), and law into a single commensurable language across all disciplines providing a means by which we can suppress falsehoods, and particularly the abrahamic falsehoods (pilpul/critique) and the modern versions of them (postmodernism/marxism).

    And with that law providing a constitution that makes it possible to restore the specific uniqueness of the west, and our ability to drag ourselves, and humanity, kicking and screaming into transcendence: evolutionary progress.

    There is no reason for you to like the law. On the explanatory power and commensurability and decidability it provides.

    It slaughters all your sacred cows.

    But then again, why do you need falsehoods?

    My position is that the weak of body, spirit, and mind, need them and the strong of body, spirit, and mind do not.

    Those who are weak will never judge, never govern, never rule. They are only important in that they will fight for the material incentives provided by defeat of the parasites and the rescue of our civilization – or not.

    Very few of us our needed.

    The weak can stay home.

    Meaning – if you need a cult, you and your genes are a part of the problem, and of no value to the solution.

    The meek won’t inherit the earth. They will only live with the permissions give to them by those that do.

    It’s because they feel more vulnerable. Our ability to admit we are wrong is a combination of our vulnerability and the degree to which we have over invested in falsehoods in order to create self and other illusions of status and ability. Since both men and women do the latter, the sensitivity to vulnerability is what causes greater resistance to admit error in women. The problem for men is making women feel safe enough, or finding women that feel safe of their own accord.

    @DavidAFrench Excellent piece in NR. But FWIW: The virtue of the familial meritocracy is that the individuals possess traits OTHER than intelligence: the intuitions, ethics and traditions of intergenerational Family, Industry, and Class. We chose the WRONG MEASURE of “potential”.
