(FB 1550420896 Timestamp) ETYMOLOGY: ‘RABBLE’ rabble (n) c. 1300, “pack of animals,” possibly related to Middle English rablen “to gabble, speak in a rapid, confused manner,” probably imitative of hurry, noise, and confusion (compare Middle Dutch rabbelen, Low German rabbeln “to chatter”). Meaning “tumultuous crowd of vulgar, noisy people” is from late 14c.; applied contemptuously to the common or low part of any populace from 1550s. (someone used the term and I realized I didn’t know its origin)

(FB 1550420779 Timestamp) PATTERNS OF SPEECH Notice how someone (sophisticated with world experience yet entirely empirical) like Michael comments and how other people (unsophisticated, without worldly experience, and entirely sentimental or anecdotal) comment. I ought to do a study of categories of comments just to show people how wise, smart, ignorant, and stupid people comment on a ignorant-wise, stupid-smart grid just to illustrate by pattern recognition what different people think like and act like. wise people ask. smart people tell ignorant people reject stupid people retaliate

(FB 1550503635 Timestamp) AGAINST CULTS. PROPERTARIANISM IS FOR EVERYONE. Every group with every grammar of cognition can use Propertarianism: religious, ideological philosophical, scientific, or practical. We can all use this law to unite behind policy rather than religion, philosophy, or ideology. So don’t make me a ‘cult’ leader. Don’t ask me to be one. I’m not special. I’m just a guy working on one of the great problems of our age – and because of the great minds before me, and the shoulders I can stand upon, I did. So I’m not special. Propertarianism is like having a superpower, just like aristotelian reason, empiricism, and the scientific method were like a superpower in ages past. So understand, it’s not me it’s the methodology. I’m only special because this superpower is rare at present. With some work you can learn this ‘superpower’. And then for you too, the world will ‘fit together in very nice clean obvious puzzle pieces’. But I’m not important. I’m not special, and I expect to generate leaders who will use this superpower. I prefer to wear my metaphorical Odin robes and pointy hat, and advise leaders – not be one. Aristotle changed the world of mind but it is Alexander who conquered the world of men.

(FB 1550496545 Timestamp) RELIGION IS A GRAMMAR OF COGNITION —â…religion is one of the grammars of cognition.” Thatâs perfect, Curt Doolittle.”—Thorsten Norgate All language consists of storytelling (changes in state). We program with stories. We calculate with stories. Every grammar requires only a means of telling a story, a means of disambiguation, a means of internal consistency, and a means of decidability.

(FB 1550627670 Timestamp) —“Q: 5 +1 * 10 = ?”— This category of math ‘tests’, is not a test of intelligence but of a weakness in mathematical grammar that makes the reader fall back to the order of operations when the sentence is malformed. The correct form is (1×10)+5. or 5+(1×10), gracefully failing to 5 + 1 * 10 if malformed. Almost seemingly complex questions of philosophy are nothing more than a failure to fully expand idiomatic speech into well formed sentence beginning with “I promise that …”. The lower your patterning the more likely you are to see this trick. The higher your patterning (not discreetly seeing the individual glyphs of the text) the more likely you are to miss it. And that is all. Tricks don’t test intelligence. They insult it.

(FB 1550851396 Timestamp) OUTSTANDING ISSUE So far the only outstanding argument is whether metaphysics exist in the plural(languages) or singular (physics), and hopefully I will get to that one in the next week or so. But in general, you’re going to be wrong on ANY criticism of P. You’re going to be wrong on possibility of successful revolution under P. You are probably wrong on the desirability of the policies I’ve recommended under P. You might not be wrong on whether I am pitching the best government under P. You are most likely right that the demographics are such that we need ideology and religion in addition to law. I did my job. But please stop wasting my time. I mean all you (the idiots) are doing is proving my point that public speech should be limited to that under which due diligence has been performed. Because you’re no different than the enemy and their lies. Because you use the same technique as the enemy and their lies. Undermine western civilization because you are addicted to lies.
