    THE CONFLATION IN FREUD’S PSEUDOSCIENCE

    by Daniel Gurpide

    Nietzsche, in that strand of his work that may be referred to as ‘Zarathustrian prayer,’ deliberately proposed a ‘myth.’

    The Nietzschean ‘myth’ does not pretend to be ‘objective.’ Nietzsche explicitly acknowledges the arbitrariness of the ‘myth’ he formulates.

    In contrast, Freud conflates Abrahamic ‘myth’ and Kantian rationalism and ends up producing pseudo-science (psycho-analysis).

    PETERSON’S IRONICALLY POSTMODERN VERSION OF TRUTH: PRAGMATIC

    —“Peterson’s notions of truth and falsity are very “pragmatic” – an ends justifies the means sort of conception – “lies” within his world view have very little to do with scientific or empirical accuracy. Peterson is brilliant but has significant blind spots as it relates to metaphorical or allegorical truisms which necessitate an aspect of “falsehood” and the contrast therein.”— Rob Ellerman

    Well said. I didn’t think of that positioning. )

    Peterson sees the frustrated mind of the human less valuable to others than than it can manage, struggling to make sense of, and succeed in, the universe given its lack of internal and external agency.

    Peterson is acting as a Priest. (I’m acting a judge). And it’s the competition between the need to teach meaning in order to act, and the need to resolve conflict in order to prevent (empirical) ill actions.

    The common ground between Priest and Judge is near perfection – if and only if he succeeds in constructing a new ‘religion’ out of literary analysis of myth, BUT if the battle for good and evil among those myths, is between the eastern fictionalist, and the western supernormal.

    I think this is the origin of his problem. What you call ‘pragmatism’.

    APHORISM: THE COMPETITION BETWEEN TRUTH AND MEANING.

    In the competitive market for the positive of meaning by the use of literature and the negative of falsehood by the use of law, we hope that only truth survives the conflict.

    Law tells us not what to do, but what not to. Why? because there is no way to test literature other than with law.

    This puts some of us in the position of mother: the teller of tales, and gossip, and recipes.

    It’ puts some of us in the position of father: the limits of our words, displays, and deeds.

    It is more pleasant to give away meaning, than it is to take away falsehood.

    Some of us must police truth just as we police services and goods.

    Some of us must be fathers.

    ON THE PRETENSE OF MORALITY AS COVER FOR PARASITISM

    Social orders consist of a variety of institutions. I am going through the sum total of human thought AND human institutions, and attempting to discover the methods of eliminating deceit from the commons.

    Now, it SOUNDS to me like Brian cannot grasp the difference between telling people SOMTHING TO DO and think, versus telling people what they CANNOT speak, display and act upon in the commons because it spreads falsehood.

    Now, I already know why Brian is doing that kind of counter-signaling, and I expect all people to counter-signal when they are attached to a preferred falsehood, just as a corrupt politician, a corrupt public intellectual, a corrupt academic, a corrupt businessman, or any other corrupt person justifies his parasitism upon other people through use of deception.

    So the fact that people want to preserve their falsehoods, whether to preserve a false self image, or to preserve the ability to obtain false signals by virtue signaling others, or to preserve allies, or to preserve intellectual malinvestments, or to preserve allies political and cultural, or to preserve rents, is somewhat immaterial

    If you are engaging in falsehood as a means of obtaining something via the commons then it is just another form of fraud.

    If you think that you can construct a set of virtues (values, positives) that are non-parasitic and advance some reproductive strategy that is good. If you can construct a set of virtues (values, positives) that advance a different reproductive strategy (signal strategy), that is also non-parasitic, that’s also good. And literary structure under the transcendent monomyth, the archetypes, the pagan virtue portfolios, allows all of that to occur – that’s just the logic and science of literature.

    but there is no more reason to tolerate the ‘sales’ of parasitic and false marketing of parasitic and false values, than there is any other form of conspiracy to do harm either public or private.

    And I don’t think there exists a criticism that’s survivable, unless you say that ‘i don’t care, I want to preserve a means of fraud and parasitism upon the achievements and potential of those who refrain from parasitism and fraud.”

    I understand why folks would resist, but you know, truth is what it is: things are true and moral or they are untrue and immoral.

    it’s not complicated.

  • CONSPIRACY THEORY: THE THING YOU RAIL AGAINST IS AN IQ, AGENCY, AND SANITY TEST

    CONSPIRACY THEORY: THE THING YOU RAIL AGAINST IS AN IQ, AGENCY, AND SANITY TEST

    As far as I know, yes, in any organizational structure, whenever the organization fails, there is always some blame avoidance going to occur, because it probably was preventable with more aggressive action. Yet there is no reward for reorganizing the priorities of any organization.

    That has nothing to do with a ‘conspiracy’ other than a conspiracy of common interest to avoid blame.

    That has nothing to do with the pseudoscientific nonsense that a building that size, subject to those events, would fall precisely in that manner.

    Buildings pancake all over the world. The technical term is ‘Progressive Collapse’. There is no miracle to it. A small earthquake is enough under the right conditions. I’ve seen jack-failures during a renovation cause it.

    That has nothing to do with the pseudoscientific nonsense that the smaller buildings would not collapse from even minor damage associated with the event.

    All of this has to do with precisely what I stated: there is a very, very, very high correlation with affinity to conspiracy theories, affinity to addiction, affinity for schizotypal behavior and though, and affinity to ‘fight’ dunning kruger effects to preserve self-imaage and self confidence given the ‘continuous failure of cognition’ the individuals of these disabilities demonstrate.

    In other words, affinity for conspiracies is a form of animism or anthropomorphism where very simple people preserve some semblance of control over their minds and emotions given continuous falsification of their control of their minds, and emotions in reality.

    In fact, that might be the perfect description of a diagnosis of schizotypal behavior, and the causes of the behavior we see manifest in such people.

    “grasping at straws we can understand’ is a phenomenon universal to all people who lack sufficient intelligence to understand and change, a status quo or condition that they find unacceptable.

    Stupid can’t tolerate being stupid so stupid is drawn to convictions that justify stupid’s emotional frustration. The fact that one chooses something absurd to vent one’s frustration against is demonstration of one’s stupidity.

    Or better said, we can measure intelligence of the frustrated by the category of problem they demonize.

    That should tell you everything you need to know about the psychology of different ‘interest groups’ in across every dimension of the political and moral spectrum.

    Smart does as smart does, and stupid does as stupid does.

    Hence why I argue that all people are merely participants in a conspiracy of common interests between their genes. The rest is all theatre of avoidance, acceptance, persuasion and deceit.

    Truth hurts all of us.
