“My name is God; My words the Truth.
I have written all Existence with them,
My words are True.
And Existence True,
Except for the words of Man.
So among My words, I have left a warning –
written in one demand:
‘Thou shalt bear no falsehood before thee.’
For bearing a falsehood before thee,
Is bearing a falsehood before Me.
And Man, like falsehoods, must end.
Yet if Man speaks no falsehood,
Then Man will become Me,
And My words will have achieved their end.”

“US” –
by Paul Genova
I’m noticing that a lot of you aren’t graciously accepting the fact that your candidate lost.
In fact you seem to be posting even more hateful things about those of us who voted for Trump.
Some of you are apparently “triggered” because you are posting how “sick” you feel about the results.
How did this happen you ask?
You created “us” when you attacked our freedom of speech.
You created “us” when you attacked our right to bear arms.
You created “us” when you attacked our Christian beliefs.
You created “us” when you constantly referred to us as racists.
You created “us” when you constantly called us xenophobic.
You created “us” when you told us to get on board or get out of the way.
You created “us” when you forced us to buy health care and then financially penalized us for not participating.
You created “us” when you lied and said we could keep our insurance plans and our doctors.
You created “us” when you allowed our jobs to continue to leave our country.
You created “us” when you attacked our flag.
You created “us” when you took God out of our schools.
You created “us” when you confused women’s rights with feminism.
You created “us” when you began to emasculate men.
You created “us” when you decided to make our children soft.
You created “us” when you decided to rewrite school history books and remove the truth about our founders
You created “us” when you decided to vote for progressive ideals.
You created “us” when you attacked our way of life.
You created “us” when you decided to let our government get out of control.
You created “us” the silent majority.
You created “us” when you began murdering innocent law enforcement officers.
You created “us” when you took a knee, or stayed seated or didn’t remove your hat during our National Anthem.
And we became fed up and we pushed back and spoke up.
And we did it with ballots, not bullets.
With ballots, not riots.
With ballots, not looting.
With ballots, not blocking traffic.
With ballots, not fires, except the one you started inside of “us”.
“YOU” created “US”.
It really is just that simple

ON PETERSON VS HARRIS
(by James Augustus Berens)
Justificationism makes conflation necessary, and lying possible.
Criticism leads to de-conflation, and makes lying (false testimony) less probable.
Dr. Peterson is engaging in justificationism and it makes him vulnerable to error. I don’t doubt his intentions, but I think he intuits the problem—that testimony/truth has a moral dimension—but he wrongfully conflates the two in order to justify the restoration/imposition of natural law onto the informational commons.
His errors can be corrected by (a) accepting truth as warranty of due diligence against error, bias and deceit, (b) adding moral consistency as a category of criticism for the social sciences, and (c) holding property-en-toto as the empirical measure for dispute resolution and commensurability across the inter-temporal division of perception and labor (what he vaguely refers to as Darwinian survival).
But he is a teacher, not a prosecutor or judge. The problem is that his conflation makes him a priest. History has given us enough of those.
We need Truth.

Something is first true or not, then it is good or not, then it is possible or not, then it is preferable or not. But conflation is just lying.

PETERSON vs HARRIS
(series of tweets to dr. jordan peterson)
1 – You can’t succeed by conflating good and true in argument(identity), only in literature (analogy).
2 – Western civ is unique in the use of deflationary truth and it’s why we innovate so rapidly.
3 – So when you attempt to conflate the good and the true in argument, you are violating western ethics.
4 – We transfer MEANING and POTENTIAL by analogy and conflation, but TRUTH and LIMITS by deflation
5 – Your best line of argument is that truth (science) goodness(morality) and beauty are necessary …
6 – because truth (science) goodness(morality) and beauty are required for any preferential judgement.
7 – We are close now. Your discipline is PEDAGOGY, not TRUTH.
Leave truth to the analytics(decidability).
8 – Via Positiva: meaning, justification, and analogy. Via-Negativa: truth, criticism, and identity.
9 – Teachers convey meaning and increase opportunity. Judges decide differences and limit opportunity.
10 – Science is a juridical discipline: via-negativa. Literature a moral discipline: via-positiva.
11 – And the competition between positiva and negativa, not the justification provided by either, is how we have, and must, choose.
12 – The competition between positiva and negativa, not the justification provided by either provides with candidate actions.

Via Negativa: eliminate error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism, overloading, superstition, pseudo-rationalism, pseudoscience, and deception, and only truth candidates remain. 😉

(What is it with being photo spammed by LBFM’s? Sucker-hunting? I mean, seriously. I feel like an unpaid fake account detector.)
