  • My Simple Methodology: Locker Room vs Porch

    I have a very simple methodology: the truth. the truth provides decidability. And I don’t leave room for pragmatism. By allowing one pragmatic falsehood you allow all pragmatic falsehoods. By disallowing all falsehoods, no matter how practical, you leave only the truth. —“I get that you teach by a startling statement and follow-up Devil’s advocate questions. But sometime we lose the forest for trying to define a tree.”—Anne Summers It’s just the socratic method. Propose an assertion that will either reinforce or oppose a norm. Then we all debate until we understand. I love teaching online. It’s just more like teaching in a Locker Room or Bar than the vaulted porch of athenian wisdom….. lol

  • 1) We (Taleb and I) are both specialists in debunking frauds – he by innumeracy

    1) We (Taleb and I) are both specialists in debunking frauds – he by innumeracy in specific and I fictionalism more broadly. We are both intolerant of frauds. One can only claim one speaks truthfully of the testifiable, where one can warranty one’s speech. if not one lies. Period.

    2) Since you demonstrate you lie, and you do so by fictionalism, it is not an ad hominem to call you a liar and a fraud it is an inescapable logical necessity. in other words some arguments and methods of arguments are lies and frauds by mere construction prior to content.

    3) i practice the natural law of reciprocity, falsificationary science, deflationary logic and constructivist mathematics, not justificationary rationalism, theology or pseudoscience. Stop wasting my time with fraud and deceit.

    (ad hom) Yes, I attack frauds of all forms. That’s my job. To protect the informational commons from ignorance, error, bias, suggestion, fictionalism, and deceit. You can only say I am wrong. I am saying you are not wrong, but you are a fraud.

    I don’t have a metaphysical framework other than testimony. I specialize testimony, and in particular in debunking liars. Particularly pseudoscientific, pseudo-rational, and supernatural. You are making a pseudo-rational argument. I can testify to the structure of the universe.

    LYING: THE CURRENCY OF COWARDICE
    by Paul Franklin

    —“In every case I can think of, there is no difference between a liar and a coward (in the meaning of liars we use).

    In other words, you can judge for one or the other: veracity or cowardice, they are both the same.

    Basically that’s it. No need for any complicated tomes.

    I have spent many years, defending myself from cowards, in every place in society, who always unite in their cowardice – with lies being a form of currency over which they might unite.

    And all too often, it is nearly always some coward – a yellow-backed worm (and I don’t care if he showed bravery elsewhere) – putting some woman up to do his dirty work for him.

    And I never met a woman who wasn’t up to it. Some women have had the balls themselves to initiate their own attacks. And I know not one single woman who is not utterly shameless when push comes to shove.

    And you can call that cowardice too.”—Paul Franklin
