  • Why Did It Take Humanity So Long To Invent Science?

    Science uses measurement (a form of competition, believe it or not) to extend perception, and eliminate ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism and deceit. In other words, science is the means by which we seek to speak truthfully.

    Science evolved out of european common law of torts (resolution of disputes over property between equals), which led from the jury, to the ‘thang’ to the ‘senate’. This led to ‘scientific’ debate. This led to reason. Reason led to aristotelian pre-science. (He studied constitutions). Bacon was a lawyer. That law led to empiricism. Empiricism led to science.

    Law under competition (western law) led to science.

    Language evolved to negotiate, not to speak truthfully.

    Religion hindered law. (Religion is an attempt to state wisdom literature is true)

    Only the west invented it. You can see the chinese come close. No one else comes close. Even the persians were using what we call science for superstitious purposes.

  • I’m Extremely Pissed Off At How I Am Being Treated By People And I Suspect It Is Due To Racism. I Am Not White And People Have Hurled Racial Slurs And Have Deliberately Tried To Disrespect Me For No Reason. What Can I Do To Stop This From Occurring?

  • Is Social Conforming A Form Of Lying?

    THE BEST ANSWER YOU WILL FIND.

    In display (dress, manner) conformity is a form of taxation. (cost)

    In action (behavior) conformity a form of taxation. (cost)

    In word, the question is whether the statement is true (scientifically), or false, not conforming or non conforming. If you state the truth, it’s a form of taxation. (cost)

    In Religion, it’s both lying and taxation. All cults other than Aristotelian (science and law) require payment of taxation by display, word, and action, as a cost of membership in the cult.

    The means of distinguishing between a theocratic government and society and a scientific (rule-of-law) government and society is whether you must pay a cost of display, action, and word that is false in order to obtain or maintain membership in the organization – where government, cult, society are all forms of organization.

    The problem is, that conformity may amplify or reduce your relative status signals (perceived market value to others). And so the lower your genetic, social, economic, and political capital, the greater your demand for obtaining signals (positive attention) by non conforming means. This is why people ‘with’ tend to conform, and people ‘without’ tend not to. Search for status signals in some other group than the dominant genetic, social, and economic status hierarchies

    All humans are rational actors. That’s necessary for evolutionary persistence.
    They just may not understand the rationality of their actions.

    —“Do you think you’re racist?”— **Racism**, as I understand it, refers to four behaviors: 1) the process of treating an individual by the properties of his class (race) rather than waiting to ascertain the properties that he himself demonstrates. In other words, stereotyping. Unfortunately stereotypes are the most accurate measurement in the social sciences. So this is difficult to counteract outside of commercial interactions. 2) the process of criticizing a class (race) for the costs that they impose on your class (race) rather than taking actions that prevent a class (race) from imposing costs upon your class (race). 3) the process of denying that there are differences in aggregate class (race) abilities, biases, preferences, and behaviors. 4) the process of conducting genocidal, political, economic, and kinship warfare by denying that there are differences in aggregate class (race) abilities, biases, preferences, and behaviors. **Racism is not any of these four behaviors:** 1) Observing, deciding, speaking, and promoting, that there are differences in aggregate class (race) abilities, biases, preferences, and behaviors. 2) Observing, deciding, speaking, and promoting, that people (like all creatures) favor their class (kin, tribe, race) group for the simple reason that except as outliers, it is in their status, social, reproductive, economic, and political interests to do so. 3) Observing, deciding, speaking, and promoting, that people vote in democracies heavily by race, gender, and class, thereby competing by EQUAL political vote rather than by unequal economic, intellectual, or military means. 4) Observing, deciding, speaking, and promoting, that people conduct informational and political warfare instead of economic and violent warfare, by the denial of differences in abilities, biases, preferences, behaviors, intentions, and goals. **That’s simply empirical science. ** **And arguing against it is simply lying.** Curt Doolittle The Propertarian Institute Kiev, Ukraine.
