You know, dealing with people around the world, what I find most interesting is the expertise westerners have at deceit while avoiding directly lying that other people do not. “Education makes men cunning but it does not make them moral – this is what we must fix.”

—“Who do you know that can understand narratives from any political or ideological tribe (across topics) without being personally emotionally captured or repulsed by any of them….well enough to steel-man the various perspectives … Extra credit if after steel-manning they can run error correction (analytic abilities) and parallax (synthetic abilities) on the perspectives/narratives to form higher order synthesis and/or mappings. … I really want to find these people.
Thank you. “–Daniel Schmachtenberger
Daniel,
My work is in the field, and consists of:
1) “A universally commensurable, value neutral, logic, vocabulary, and grammar of metaphysics(ontology), psychology, sociology, ethics, politics, and group evolutionary strategy.”
2) Testimonial (performative, promissory) truth using that language.
3) Natural Law Jurisprudence combining the above.
All human behavior can be described in economic terms. I’m the best in the world at it (really). You can test me with any sample question fairly easily. But it’s a mirror that some of us cannot bear to look into.
Truth is a harsh judge. đ
And I can almost guarantee that no public intellectual in the business of selling ideas to a population will look into that mirror. Because public intellectuals are just merchants like any other producing a product that satisfies the intuitions and impulses of the market.
Unlike priests, public intellectuals and politicians, a General, a Judge, and a Statesman, have no such luxury of selling snake oil comforts that externalize false promises to subsequent generations, other peoples or other nations.
Western civilization evolved fastest of all because military epistemology, judicial testimony, adversarial law, and individual sovereignty was pushed down to the lowest levels of society, as bait for status by conformity, resulting in markets in all aspects of life and the most rapid calculation possible for man because it is least divergent from physical natural and evolutionary law.
If you haven’t evolved your reasoning into the present age with entropy, computability, artificial neural networks economic equilibrium, and evolutionary selection you are in the intellectual dark ages and contributing to the production of a civilizational dark age, and obscuring the fact that man has developed in a rare, brief, period of geological, solar, and galactic peace, on a planet, solar system, galaxy and universe that appears to be all but hostile to advanced life.
The Truth brings Childhood’s End.

Truth before face produces mindfulness, because it produces stoicism. It is the most effective method we know of. The training of children not to lie above all else was not an insignificant influence on western success.

(my add in parens, since that is the shift in the problem from poverty to status)

JUST BREAK DOWN THE TEXT
The destruction of the Informational Commons
upon which our people depend
for (their) political decisions (in a democracy)
by the intentional, systemic obscuring of data,
the use of propaganda,
and the resulting manufacture
of ignorance of the empirical evidence,
of the false promise of the equality of man,
… … the malleability of man,
… … … the end of selection pressures,
… … … … the end of status seeking to defeat it,
… … … … … the end of hyper-consumption to obtain it,
… … … … … … and the end of scarcity
… … … … … … by endless growth
… … … … … … by which to achieve it,
… … … … …. …. and the vast differences
… … … … …. …. in group ability to compete for it,
and the natural conďŹict that results
from these cumulative deceits,
by the attribution of the physical laws of the universe,
the natural laws of cooperation,
and the evolutionary laws of selection,
to the design of european peoples
who discovered and adapted to them
as (an act of ) oppression,
rather than the failure of other groups
to equally adapt
to those laws.

Which I would force me turn around and ask why he was being dishonest? Like I said. Discussions on demand are better than discussions on disagreements.
