  • Philosophy: Continental Imaginative Literature(positive) Priests Vs Analytic Critical Law(negative) Judges


    [P]hilosophers function as intellectual police, detectives, judges, and sometimes executioners. Although I have had literary (nonsense) philosophers criticize me for the position, endlessly.

    If philosophy does not consist in the study of how to speak the truth by discovering how we avoid error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism, pseudoscience, and deceit, then it is just fiction-writing that conflates religion, literature, and pseudoscience.

    Just as judges may discover general rules (natural law) by solving problems of conflict; and just as physicists discover general rules of determinism by solving problems of extending perception (physical laws); our philosophers discover general rules of reason (rational laws) by solving problems of error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism, pseudoscience and deceit.

    Our function is to police the intellectual sphere for error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism, pseudoscience, and deceit.

    I am not sure we can classify literary dreamers, hypothesizers, inventors as philosophers. We do. But they give us a bad name.

    This is the correct positioning of the philosophical disciplines. Aspirational Literary Religon and Critical Analytic Law.

  • Idea: Contractualism (Liberty, Civic Society, Under Rule Of Law)

    (important) [W]hy do we associate Contractualism with Anarchism, where there is extraordinary demand for the state, instead of associating Contractualism with Nationalism where there is almost no demand for the state?

    Anarchism evolved in the middle east, in eastern european borderlands(owned but unregulated territories), and in western european ghettos(walled subcultures). Contractualism evolved with near kin relations in the North Sea. (Frisia, England, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and then germany and east) You can only have contractualism under nationalism. Othewise you must have statism.

  • Q&A: CURT: CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHY WESTERN CIV IS EUGENIC? Aristocracy, Meritocracy,

    Q&A: CURT: CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHY WESTERN CIV IS EUGENIC?

    Aristocracy, Meritocracy, Rule of Law, Market Economies, Manorialism(controlled access to land), voluntary mate selection, late marriage, nuclear family, migratory skilled labor, Low Tolerance Policing/high trust requirement, aggressive hanging, militial warfare (volunteer infantry), harsh winters, mathusian farming production, plagues, economic shocks, and disasters, have the following effects:

    1 – force improved long term, mate selection

    2 – lower generational rates of reproduction

    3 – limit reproduction to those who are in the genetic ‘middle class’ and upward.

    4 – redistribute resources upward to middle class and away from lower class reproduction.

    5 – cull lower classes aggressively.

    Which is important, because every person that’s ‘problematic’ at the bottom is six times as costly as every person that’s ‘beneficial’ at the top.

    The basic math is like this: to organize a society in the voluntary organization of production you must get 80% of the resources in to 20% of population, and that 20% of the population must be ‘intelligent’ enough to make use of it. That means you must get your median IQ somewhere in the 100-106 range before you can really do much toward developing a high trust market economy. And you want to get as close to 112 to 115 if you want to out-compete the rest of the planet with innovations sufficiently to live what we in the west consider a marginally different quality of life.

  • How Does A President Lead A Country Fairly And Democratically With So Many People Having Mixed Agendas, Ideas And Opinions?

    It’s impossible, since democracy is only capable of selecting priorities among people with homogenous interests, and impossible to select between conflicting choices among people with heterogeneous interests.

    Markets let us cooperate on means despite different ends – no monopolies.

    Democracy is a monopoly in which we cannot cooperate on means because of different ends.

    Democracy has been a catastrophe.

    The original anglo model was not democratic but consisted of different HOUSES for each CLASS, including the CHURCH, so that Monarchy, regional managers, personal property owners, and common people(church) could negotiate EXCHANGES between the classes.

    The English system created a market under which most can be satisfied. Democracy destroyed it by creating a monopoly under which no one can be satisfied.

  • Why Shall We Ignore Any Human Law, State, King (president), Judge Or Lawgiver?

    Laws cannot be given, they can only be discovered.

    Lawgiving is logically impossible. One can issue commands. One can negotiate contractual provisions on your behalf. But one cannot create law, only command, legislation, regulation, and contractual provision.

    There is one natural law, that can be stated in the positive or negative, but must be stated as both positive and negative. (I’ve written too much on this today and don’t want to repeat myself, so I’m not going into detail.)

    • Obverse: – The silver rule (Natural Law – the negative ) do not do unto others… etc.
    • Reverse: – The golden rule (Natural Rights – the positive ) do unto others only what …. etc.

    There is only on moral law that these two rules are derived from:

    • Obverse: – negative: impose no unwanted costs upon that which others have acted to create, obtain, and inventory, whether life, kin, mate, relation, property, norm, or institution.
    • Reverse: – positive: limit your actions to productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary exchange, limited to externalities of the same criteria.

    In other words: “do no harm” is the one law of human cooperation. Because harm is what causes retaliation, breaks the peace, reduces trust, increases transaction and opportunity costs, and reduces the quality of life for everyone in the vicinity as a consequence.

    These laws are geographically, demographically, culturally, normatively, institutionally, traditionally, independent, and provide universal decidability in all matters of conflict, whether participants like it or not.

    What differs is the only the in-group contracts in the forms of property, laws, norms, traditions, institutions, territory and monuments. But within group this rule still applies.

    Ergo, you only listen to a command when its either in going to benefit you, or when ignoring or contradicting it will lead to your harm or punishment.

    Otherwise, there is no connection between commands and the only necessary laws: objective morality, natural law, and natural rights. Do no harm, seek no involuntary gain.

  • do we have laws if criminals are going to ignore them?”— You don’t understand.

    You don’t understand. Laws are the terms of the insurance policy that we demand of the state in order for not using violence ourselves.
