    ( from philpapers)

    This question is one of the reasons philosophy departments are increasingly defunded and philosophy is demoted to the status of religious studies.

    Why? You can justify your actions to a jury of your peers by arguing that you acted within ethical, moral, legal, norms.

    Because you can justify ( sympathetically test ) contractual ( axiomatic or normative or contractual) rules.

    You may justify the costs (opportunity, material, risk) of action to yourself or to your peers, or to the nation or even humanity.

    But it is the COST that you justify, not the belief. We know this because people do not attempt to justify benefits ( gains ) or washes ( zero cost ) or cost entirely absorbed by the actor.

    No belief then is ever justified or justifiable. The greater the cost the more evidence of due diligence we require of ourselves and others.

    This is the difference between legal, scriptural, and normative justificationism, the persist of truth via criticism, wherein we require ourselves and others to do due diligence against harm (cost).

    This is why philosophy fails to complete the enlightenment transition and to leave its relation to mysticism, Platonism, scripturalism, and justificationism.

    There is only one epistemically method available to man: free association -> hypothesis -> theory —> law -> additional parsimony.

    And we move from imaginary to law by acts of criticism: survival.

  • I have no idea why American blacks ( or any other tribe ) must be forced into hi

    I have no idea why American blacks ( or any other tribe ) must be forced into high trust norms or ” white ” rates of training.

    Same way that I don’t understand why my white son with my family sense of justice and reciprocity should be schooled with Asians and judged by their much mor docile and obedient natures.

    Blacks, Browns, whites and yellows mature at different rates and achieve different levels of maturity.

    So while in the adult market we can expect contractualism. It seems idiotic vanity to think that our laws governments and norms should reflect behavioural demands unsuited for the population.

    That we can all mature into market behaviour says nothing about the best environment to train different groups into those behaviours.

    It really agitated me that we force young boys to learn in the same environment as young girls – especially the decline in physicality.

    But if you are to the left of whites and Asians then why should you be scooled as they are?

    It’s not a matter of intelligence or will, or character. It’s a question of the rate of growth.

    In my generation we were divided into six levels ( I was not always in the top level by the way ). It worked well.

  • In technology here in Ukraine we have a lot of ‘labor’ but not a lot of ‘profess

    In technology here in Ukraine we have a lot of ‘labor’ but not a lot of ‘professionals’. In America we have even professional ‘labor’. Just as we have nearly every living soul capable of entrepreneurship.

    A professional means a member of the middle class. What does the middle class mean? It means organizing production. What does a professional do? Organize his production and the production of others. And cooperate with peers on using empirical evidence and scientific reasoning to organize voluntarily.

    Still the post-soviet thing everywhere: limited empirical experience, limited theoretical understanding, the need for direct supervision, the inabilty to resolve problems scientifically rather than authoritarively and intuitionistically.

    I have problems with staff here that you only have at the very worst organizations in america – where people are overemployed above their abilities (which is very common in the states). But professionalism often compensates for lack of personal ability.

    What we see here is the opposite, self reliance, or reliance on instruction rather than teamwork.

    It’s one reason why they’re poor.

    When contemporary economists label a middle class they mean “the ability to possess discretionary income”. Well, in the western past, the middle class could possess discretionary income. But that is not what defined the middle class: it was organizing production.

    So while in theory economic, social, genetic, middle class should be synonyms, it’s quite possible to be a member of a genetic middle class, and socially and economically impoverished.

    Conversely, it’s also possible to be a member of an economic middle class but socially and genetically impoverished (most of our artistic classes, and sportsman classes).

    Most of ukraine seems to be populated by genetic middle classes with surprisingly few defects caused by long periods of urbanization. But they are artificially impoverished socially and therefore artificially impoverished economically.

    I love them. But it frustrates me no end.

    THE CHURCH RESTORED?

    Is it that we must rebuild the church as educator again? Or is it that we must rebuild a competitor to the self-interest of the academy-media-state complex?

    You see, that’s the purpose of the church. Education. But education in what?

    Truth, pragmatism, or falsehood?

    And what is the incentive for the church if the state provides ‘education’ (indoctrination in consumerism) both involuntarily and for ‘free’?

    Well, the state teaches dependence and anti-capitalism, and anti-moralism, and anti-familism. And the state preys upon your income, savings, property.

    So why can’t the church teach capitalism, moralism, familism, and act as protector of your income, savings, property?

    The purpose of religion is to set intertemporal limits on temporal government. This is why religion is the only successful competitor to the state.
