    Math was made mysterious so that the people could treat it like a mystery cult, when it’s just another language. It’s just the simplest least ambiguous (most disambiguous) language that is possible that we know of. This lack of ambiguity decreases opportunity for free association. This is why it is costly for the brain.

  • Disambiguating Equality

    Oct 12, 2019, 5:25 PM by Bill Joslin “Equality” is a term that’s been repeatedly … gang-r@ped. CONTEXT ONE: BOOLEAN ASSESSMENT OF CATEGORICAL MEMBERSHIP. All players on the ice exist equally as “HOCKEY PLAYERS” bound by the same rules (membership). However, not all hockey players play hockey equally (qualitative assessment). CONTEXT TWO: ISONOMY State application of power will be applied to all by the same criteria (equality before the law) CONNECTION BETWEEN THESE TWO CONTEXTS: isonomy presumes that all who fall under the law exist, at the very minimum, as agents and thus, as agents, fall under the law. “Created Equally” was a notion by Americans adopted from their French influencers… the French ruin everything.


    Definitions: … Isonomy: “equality before the law” … nomocracy: “rule of law”
