    Humanity has been infected with a great set of mental viruses.

    Humanity needs a cure.

    The Cure is Truth.

    The procedure is going to be very painful.

    I hope there are enough of us to conduct the operation.

  • IS THE MOST ACCURATE FRAMING OF THE ECONOMIC MOVEMENTS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE TO US

    https://t.co/CYn1I4nXmXTHIS IS THE MOST ACCURATE FRAMING OF THE ECONOMIC MOVEMENTS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE TO US.

    1 – Austrian economics seeks to eliminate asymmetries of knowledge so that people can cooperate voluntarily under the optimum possible conditions. So as a movement, Austrian economics was a social science. In other words, they want to improve our information.

    2 – American (Chicago) economics seeks to identify rule of law, so that economics can be constructed as a formula under rule of law – eliminating discretionary toying with the economy, just as rule of law eliminates discretionary toying with the polity. In other words, they want to manipulate information as little as possible.

    3 – Saltwater (New York/California) economics seeks to identify the maximum disinformation that the government can insert into the economy with which to farm taxes, consume, and redistribute them, while preserving the incentive to keep working and risking capital (the hamster wheel), and to create sufficient knowledge of how to use disinformation that policy makers have full discretion.

    My @Quora answer to Is Keynsian economics better for America than Austrian economics?

    THE MOVIE “TRUTH” AS FALSEHOOD – ALBEIT WELL WRITTEN

    OMG, what a hollywood-engineered piece of propaganda for resurrecting their own morally dead.

    But as dialog for smart people, with a good cast, if you ignore the almost non-existent excuse-making narrative, you can find Sorkin’s style in there.

    What is that style? The discourse of inferences.

    The opening scene where she walks into an office and the conversation is not reduced to proletarian simplicity by actors pretending to be members of the upper middle educated classes.

    It’s a model of dialog only possible if you first flesh out your character’s entire life, interests, portfolio of views, and

    Unfortunately, all these characters have the same progressive (fantastical) lives, interests, and portfolio of views.

    Characters should represent real world entities, working through mythic (universal lessons) problems. Mythology requires exaggeration – which we usually call hyperbole in order to draw attention to relevant properties of individuals and circumstances that they encounter.

    I am not impressed by the depth of psychology one can explore in the nuance of incentives of the dysfunctional – which is the postmodern trend using psychologizing for status signals. In fact I am not sure that the entire literary edifice is other than a vast church for the distribution of immorality for the purpose of obtaining status signals despite doing nothing productive on this earth.

    Why should one care about the depth of your dysfunctional feelings, rather than the means by which you conquer them and life’s challenges?

    The postmoderns, feminists, socialists, libertines, are all a cancer fed by consumerism, made possible by debt, made possible by the burning of thousands of years of western evolutionary history.

    Kill them all and let their gods sort it out.

    MOST PHILOSOPHERS ARE SMART – BUT VICTIMS OF NEW MYSTICISM

    —“Are you sure Hoppe is this intelligent? It doesn’t seem like he is above any random sampling of legitimate philosophers. Argumentation ethics are outrageous.”—-

    That’s an interesting question. He’s intelligent, disciplined, articulate, and well read. He came very, very close to figuring out the fundamental problem of criticism. But you know if you go through the list of living philosophers, it’s… almost entirely a wasteland of nonsense.

    I think I understand what is wrong with western man’s intelligence (Hilary Putnam aside), and it’s that this set of lies I am fighting to overthrow – a sort of new mysticism – has infected everyone like a virus, and it is getting worse.

    There is no more some special hidden knowledge than there is a heaven. We have converted teh christian fantasy world into a post-mystical logical equivalent.

    Instead, the entire universe of man’s thought is quite simple – trivial even.

    This is why truth is so important.

    I didn’t think I could develop a way of articulating this new mysticism, like the ‘divine realm’ or ‘platonic realm’ or ‘world of the gods’ that came before it. I think I might be able to. Just as I have with truth and the evolution of weasel-words.

    But when we say “I search for the truth” vs “I wish to state this as truthfully as is possible” then we are creating a fantasy world. There is no truth to find. There is only error and ignorance to remove from the human mind.

    DO YOU SEE THE EVOLUTION OF LYING? THE WAR ON TRUTH.

    1) Pre-weasel Words : Mysticism and Scriptural “Quotation” of Prophets (vs common sense and natural religion:myth)

    2) Weasel Words: Weasel Words and Reasonableness (vs reason and philosophy)

    3) Advanced weasel words: Rationalism and Philosophy (vs natural law and law)

    4) Very and advanced weasel words: Pseudoscience and Scientism (vs science)

    5) Abandoning Pretense: Political Correctness and Postmodernism (democracy)

    OMFG. Thousands of years of lying. LYING IS A GREAT STRATEGY.

    You do know that the Romans considered the Greeks immoral liars, right?

  • THE MANY PHILOSOPHIES OF OUR ENEMIES, WHY WE FAILED, AND HOW WE CAN SUCCEED WITH

    THE MANY PHILOSOPHIES OF OUR ENEMIES, WHY WE FAILED, AND HOW WE CAN SUCCEED WITH TRUTH

    —“[They use] “Weasel Words+Reasonableness” because it contorts the will of people once they have their TRUST in a way that is slow and deliberate, [and imperceptible]. Alinsky noted that they would play by others rules and use that against them, cleverness is just another word for deceit”— Gerard MF

    Exactly… that’s the secret of it. That’s also why it utilizes our cognitive biases.

    —“Education makes men clever, it does not make them moral.”— (Various thinkers including Wellington and C.S. Lewis)

    Declining Spectrum: Moral, Wise, Smart, Witty, Clever, Deceitful

    This vulnerability is why we have a fleet of philosophies in order to appeal to the trust response of each dysgenic-progressive, meritocratic-libertarian, and eugenic-conservative group:

    1) Jewish-socialism/neo-puritan-postmodernism/anglo-feminism. (female family)

    2) Jewish Libertinism / Left Libertarianism (parasitism)

    3) Jewish-Russian Postmodernism/propagandism (deceit)

    4) Jewish-American Neo-Conservatism / Religious Conservatism (conquest)

    Notice that

    1) european christian conservatives (family),

    2) european classical liberals (economy),

    3) european aristocratic egalitarians(military), are all alienated from these methods.

    Because that’s what they’re designed to undermine.

    If you get it, then recent history makes complete sense.

    ROME HAD THE INVASIONS AND PLAGUES. THE WEST AND THE WORLD WAR AND THE INVASIONS. FOR THE SAME REASONS – OVEREXTENSION, AND EXPORT OF THEIR EMPIRICAL TECHNOLOGY TO PRIMITIVES.

    In both eras we failed to remilitarize our culture because we did not understand is principles:

    Heroism, Sovereignty, Truth, Testimony, Jury, Common Law, Property, Contract, Money, Interest, Accounting:

    Voluntary cooperation as a means of distributed calculation of correspondence with reality in real time.

    A human computing network whose test of equality is productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary transfer, free of externalities to the contrary, and whose single rule of computability is non-parasitism: objective morality.

    This is the west and why we evolved faster than the rest: everything we do is a truth test. No other culture succeeded because they never could develop trust sufficiently to construct perpetual demand for truth.

    This is the reason for the militia. It creates that trust.

    This is the reason for roman christianity: it expands that trust in the absence of the military.

    This is the reason for markets: it expands that trust out of self interest on the part of the producer, distributor, seller and consumer.

    If you understand this you are able to defeat all critics as what they are: thieves by force, by bribery, by deceit.

    (maybe it isn’t obvious) (important ideas)

    Once the technology of truth telling exists, and once you have been informed that it exists, **you no longer err, you lie** at best out of willful ignorance.

    THAT is why testimonialism matters so much.

    TRUTH IS ENOUGH.

    They are parasites.

    THE RECIPE OF OUR DESTRUCTION?

    1) WEASEL WORDS + REASONABLENESS -> 2) PSEUDOSCIENCE + RATIONALISM -> 3) MYTH + MYSTICISM -> 4) LYING + PROPAGANDA.

    Not sure why I didn’t think of this earlier but Weasel Words and Reasonableness, and Pseudoscience and Rationalism make use of the same basic technology for lying.

    What technology: Analogy, Loading, Framing, Overloading, and Suggestion.

    This is how they hacked our altruism.

    Damn.

    ( I really did it. That’s it. )

    Isn’t it how women talk to each other? Through indirection and suggestion? Whereas men talk in facts? So am I right that the jews and the church and now the academy and state weaponized the female communication strategy of superior empathy as a means of suggestion?

    That’s why they distribute it through women. They’re more open to suggestion than men. OMG.

    Yep.
