memory help: what is the name, begins with an ‘M’, of the format of magic spells in western verse. “… bone to bone, sinew to sinew…” Most ‘spells’ follow the same structure, much like a poem. These are effectively western man’s ‘prayers’. And I can’t remember the name ….

James has it down in stages of argument and counter-argument. We just need to educate everyone on it. Then we need to educate everyone that the only reason to NOT engage in ‘warfare’ and instead in debate, is if we are actually debating in order to determine a trade when we don’t agree, or a good, when we do. Then we need to engage in ‘War’ often enough that we suppress the ‘poisoning of the well’.Andrea RoyallLet me sum up Librarian Vee.. “I don’t understand a fucking thing you said because those words are not in my vocabulary. I’m too lazy and entilted to educate myself. Nor, why should I because I’m chosen..”Nov 4, 2018, 8:54 AMCurt DoolittleI took it as an honest statement of “thank you for listing those out for me”. I realize it can be taken either way. But I riffed off it.Nov 4, 2018, 8:54 AMAndrea RoyallThats because you are far more patient that I am. It’s why you do what you do 🙂Nov 4, 2018, 8:55 AMGiego CaleiroJoao FabianoNov 4, 2018, 8:58 AMNick DahlheimAndrea Royall I love you because you’re ferocious for the truthNov 4, 2018, 9:03 AMCurt DoolittleAndrea Royall did you … did you just try to call me a nice guy? lolNov 4, 2018, 9:04 AMCurt Doolittle(Don’t tell anyone. I covet my reputation as a dick)Nov 4, 2018, 9:05 AMRob EllermanIt should be relatively simple to identify “moralistic” argumentation — “I’m not yet convinced you can argue without it” —- it’s the god damn virtue signaling and white knighting – I call it context dropping … these people can’t hold or don’t want to hold any propositions against uniform criteria … the lower IQ right is prone to this as well … they pick their team then throw shit arguments at the wall in machine gun fashion hoping something sticksNov 4, 2018, 9:14 AMJeff UrizenThe lefts only moral dynamic is caring /fairness. They simply Ignore loyalty, authority, and sanctity. The problem is really on the right, the right doesn’t understand morality well, it understands traditional values specifically, it can verbalize the specific beliefs it holds like patriotism, but it doesn’t understand the structure that those traditional values fall into, and if you lack that information it’s hard to argue why they matter. If you don’t understand the structure of morality you can’t see that the left is merely winning by ignoring moral dynamics completely, they’re taking things out of context, and the right is failing to be able to say “hey what about loyalty, what about authority, or sanctity. You have to make the left answer the questions of these other moral dynamics. We need a cultural shift where these dynamics each get a day in court in the political Dialoge.Nov 4, 2018, 9:23 AMAndrea RoyallCurt Doolittle me?? I said patient…. 🙂 no way I’d imply you were a nice guy…Nov 4, 2018, 9:27 AMRob EllermanThey signal caring and fairness … but drop the context when it doesn’t serve their implicit ends … happens on the right all the time
In terms of values – I don’t care whether they are traditional or not – the question is “what are the consequences of a consistent application of the proposition?” If you don’t drop the context of your implicationsNov 4, 2018, 9:31 AMAndrea RoyallI’d posit that you cannot have caring/fairness without loyalty, authority, sanctity.. and ultimately, agency. It’s all just a facade otherwise. Which, in my mind, perfectly describes the left.
And the issue with morality on the right is that it derives it’s morality from Christianity, wholesale. That’s a lot of deprogramming that has to happen.Nov 4, 2018, 9:39 AMRob EllermanAndrea Royall how do we square the idea that Europeans have genetically determinate reproductive strategies – but are also “programmable” via Christian edicts and “deprogrammable” via propertarian thinking 🤔Nov 4, 2018, 10:17 AMAndrea RoyallThat’s a very good question. Curt has more answers to that. I broke that programming long ago. Basically, because I was a questioning, impetuous child that didn’t accept authority. I haven’t changed much since.. lolNov 4, 2018, 10:19 AMRob EllermanAndrea Royall I think my disposition was probably pretty similar 👌Nov 4, 2018, 10:26 AMAndrea RoyallChristianity cut Europeans from their roots.. just as Islam has done to the Iraqis and Syrians. Less so for the Lebanese and Persians. Which, I find, quite interestingNov 4, 2018, 10:29 AMRob EllermanNature or nurture Curt Doolittle?Nov 4, 2018, 10:29 AMGilberto CarlosA sniper is patient.Nov 4, 2018, 10:59 AMJames Lyons Sr.I’ll stand the thin blue line between respect my light and fear my dark until cut down because my nuts ( those I love) won’t stay in the bag…and cause me to venture and strayNov 4, 2018, 11:10 AMAndrea RoyallCurt is our philosophical sniper.. 🙂Nov 4, 2018, 12:11 PMI have (((Their))) Method of Argument down in form.

Great Question:
| DIMENSION | start limit > step > step > step > end limit.
Where >, <, <-, and ->, state the direction. So you will see me use < < <, or > > >, or < < <- center -> > > depending upon the direction.
It’s a “Dimension” definition, meaning an ordered range of values that are permissible for use in a property of a Class (definition).
It defines the LIMITS (start and end) and COMPLETENESS (range of values), in PARSIMONIOUS FORM, thereby satisfying Testimonialism’s demand for both LIMITS and FULL ACCOUNTING for any warranty of due diligence against ignorance, error, bias, and deceit.
Given a Class (Table), consisting of (a) Properties(Attributes) and their Values (data), (b) Relations (references), and (c) Methods (internal operations), and (d) functions (external operations), a Dimension provides the range of values permissible for a property.
It’ is a geometric (linear, serialize) method of defining a dimension (table of values).
So we convert:

6, Running a Competitive Game

(a tiny bit of the relational calculus)
WHY?
Because the grammars allow us to produce an N-Dimensional geometry of ‘meaning’. But that is not something I am going to put into this series of the work. It’s like putting equations in to it. So I’m using the Series instead.
OK?
Cheers

Religion Vs Ideology Vs Philosophy Vs Logic Vs Mathematics Vs Science
A RELIGION consists of any set of ideas of justification which require belief in, testimony to, or action according to, one or more falsehoods as a cost of inclusion and use.
AN IDEOLOGY consist of any set of ideas that agitate, motivate, or inspire achievement of political ends under majoritarian (monopoly) democracy. An ideology need not be internally consistent externally correspondent, or existentially possible. It need only motivate individuals to act in furtherance of policy.
A PHILOSOPHY consists of any set of internally consistent ideas of decidability which justify pursuit of personal preferences or group goods.
A LOGIC consists of any deflationary grammar of decidability that assists in the falsification by competition of one or more constant relations between states. (Note that one proves nothing logically other than internal consistency, because all premises of external correspondence are forever contingent.)
MATHEMATICS consists of a deflationary grammar of decidability consisting of competition between positional names under the preservation of ratios providing a single axis of decidability: position – but in N dimensions; thereby providing commensurability between any set of positional relations of any number of dimensions.
A SCIENCE consists of any set of ideas that provide decidability independent of personal preference or group goods, by the systematic elimination of ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism, fictionalism, and deceit, by the use of measurement and record of actions â demonstrations versus words.
NATURAL LAW of RECIPROCITY (Tort), was produced scientifically (empirically) by trial and error, through the resolution of disputes across personal preferences, group goods, norms, traditions, and intuitions, cumulating always and everywhere that decidability is provided by property, and property consists in the demonstrated investment of human action or inaction anything whether genetic, material, behavioral, or informational.
—“Have you read Robert D. Kaplan’s “warrior politics” legitimizing the doctrine of preemptive strikes….?”—
Legitimacy is a nonsense word. It means precisely nothing. The application of military violence is not a moral but practical question. We tell weak women and men it is moral – to quiet their inner child.
As I posted earlier, both Sun Tzu, and Machiavelli wrote treatise to re-educate us to be hunters and warriors once we have fallen under the ‘moral spell’ of urban life.
I read most of Kaplan’s writings, but this one was unnecessary. It’s obvious. An attempt to educate the overly domesticated polity no longer capable of rational choice.
