    Truth, as a semantic axiom, with limitless constellations of interpretive frames.

    Correspondence presumes an existential frame.

    An existential frame provides a means of checking and vetting outside of the presumptions of the context one might bring to an assertion – that being testability of its existence.

    This testability then defines the methodology. T

    he methodology then presumes the existential frame and uses said method to update the interpretive frame.

    By doing so a feedback between interpretation, methodology occurs and is measured by existence (what can be measured or observed – and how) this allows both the interpretive frame and methodology to be updated (both are provisional).

    This affords the most robust means of coherence to truth (small ‘t’ truth) in the context of truth as a semantic axiom i.e truthful and honest reporting.

    “CURT: IS YOUR LANGUAGE PSEUDO-SCIENTIFIC?”

    (no, but it’s a very good question that deserves an answer)

    —-“I enjoy your humanist stance Curt Doolittle and with most of your ideas I find myself in concordance. My only caveat with your performance is this psuedo-scientific language – almost every other word is some phrase or term of references, especially from the realm of psychology. “— Christian Kalafut

    Christian,

    Excellent (not unique, but rare) and worthy criticism. Well done.

    This (vocabulary) is always a problem when trying to provide the only non-nonsensical model of philosophy, which is to reorganize properties, categories, relations, and values in response to advances in knowledge.

    Every theorist (‘Reformer’ is my prefer term) who attempts to increase the coherence between science and vernacular, across the fields is faced with the challenge of new terms (neologisms), redefining terms, and preserving terms, and doing so sufficiently that he’s free of criticism.

    To unite all the fields I had to create a common language, and so I appropriated the terms from each that were the ‘least wrong’ and created definitions in series to deflate them.

    I rely on one spectrum from cognitive science (psychosis <-> autism) by Baron Cohen, and I map demonstrated interests (that which we demonstrate we treat as property by defending), -> to moral bias (Hadit), -> to stages of the prey drive, -> to reward systems, -> to personality traits, -> to gender differences in brain structure resulting in that spectrum.

    This changes the content (model) of the behavioral vocabulary in ‘psychology’ from projection(imagination via sympathy and conformity) to demonstration (observation: science, and a division of cognitive labor). Thereby reforming psychology from projection to demonstration to physical construction and operation (neural economy)

    This cognitive division of labor is what I use as the basis of reforming ‘sociology’ under what I call Compatibilism(market) rather than Equality(monopoly) – and the competition between the classes, which serves as a further extension of perception and cognition to the group, wherein the group performs ‘calculation’ of ‘the good (the interest of the polity)’ by continuous tests of voluntary cooperation (reciprocity) – thereby EXPANDING the neural economy from the individual to the group, tribe, nation, civilization, mankind.

    And to ameliorate this competition between individuals and groups at all scales i use international law (demonstrated means of voluntary cooperation) under reciprocity as the ‘equals sign’ of human action. This results in ‘Natural Law’ as the means of assisting in calculation (cooperation at scale).

    And it changes from the via positiva of conformity and suppression of individual preference to preserve costly cooperation (antiquity) to the via negativa of conflict suppression and increase in individual preference to take advantage of cheap cooperation (modernity).

    This changes the discipline we call sociology to observation of agents with partial information thereby uniting psychology, sociology, economics, politics, and group evolutionary strategy – providing a single language and model of all human behavior from the neurological to the international.

    As far as I know, further increases in the precision of this model will have no impact on decidability provided by it just as newtonian physics is sufficient for all human scale decidability despite increases in precision provided by einstein physics at prior and post human scale. And this is sufficient because humans can only act at human scale, regardless of their perceptions.

    So, while it is takes a HUGE vocabulary reformation (models of properties, categories, relations, and values) to change from the projections to demonstrations, and from monopoly to markets of behavior, and from static consensus to evolutionary calculation – thereby altering our ENTIRE body of knowledge to reflect the model of ECONOMICS(darwin/markets/equilibrium) that is true, rather than MATHEMATICS (christian/monopolies/equalities) that is false.

    So yes, as always, in every era (rational(Greek), empirical(early british), scientific(Darwin – european), technological(Turing-Chomsky-anglo american), and now ‘economic-neurological’ (me)), we require a reformation of our network of ideas, and yes it is a costly reformation, because it requires a lot of re-learning.

    I don’t claim to be a great communicator. I just claim to be correct.

    —“My only complaint aside, you’re very interesting and I would love to chat with you!”—

    Any time.

    —“Final ?: Have you read Barzun?”—

    I don’t’ find essayists interesting, because i am painfully empirical, and while I can absorb information endlessly I get very ‘tired’ with sentimental prose including value judgements loading and framing. So while I know of some of his ideas, I don’t find them helpful at my level of inquiry (free association, reason, calculation, and computation).

    In general I just read science and history and unfortunately not only have I lost the ability to suspend disbelief in fiction, I have lost the ability to suspend judgement in essay form, and in both cases, I find it tedious and painful (like listening to gossip.) That isn’t a good thing but it’s a consequence of doing my work for so many years.

    So that’s why I tell people, I do science, write law, using the rhetorical structure of philosophy and do so to end deceit by pseudoscience (sophism of the technical), philosophy(sophism of the rational) and theology (sophism of the mythological),

    Cheers.

    …. – Languages

    …. …. – Vocabulary

    …. …. …. – Semantics

    …. …. – Grammar

    …. …. …. – Phonology, Morphology, Syntax …

    This is the traditional undrestanding of grammar, even though the original term referred to a book containing the rules of the given language.

    PROPERTARIANISM

    “The Grammars” as I use them:

    – Chomsky’s Grammar Facility (biological) of “CONTINUOUS Recursive Disambiguation”.

    …. – The DIMENSIONAL Grammars (spectrum of dimensions allowed)

    …. …. – Languages

    …. …. …. – Vocabulary LIMITED by dimensional grammar.

    …. …. …. …. – Paradigm (network of constant relations)

    …. …. …. …. …. – Semantics LIMITED by dimensional grammar

    …. …. …. – TRANSACTIONAL Grammar

    …. …. …. …. – Phonology, Morphology, Syntax … etc.

    WHERE

    The DIMENSIONAL GRAMMARS Consist of no less than:

    – identity (property), logic (consistency)

    – arithmetic and accounting

    – mathematics, geometry, calculus, statistics

    – algorithm, computation, transaction, sentience, consciousness, reason, calculation

    – physics , chemistry, biology-ecology

    – contract, testimony, law

    – psychology, sociology, politics, economics

    – ordinary language (conversation)

    – myth, parable, (lesson)

    – fictionalisms (ideal-mental, magical-physical, supernatural-emotional)

    – Deceits (loading, framing, obscurantism … etc.)

    AND WHERE

    Each ‘grammar’ consist of the means of testing internal consistency (decidability) in the process of speech (continuous recursive disambiguation) while producing transactions (descriptions of changes in state).

    This is gold:

    —“Many in my generation have a wealth of information (bits of data) but it’s like the leaves on a tree; nothing connects the lot of them so many are obscured or lost. Some have branches; let’s call them knowledge. Propertarianism serves well as a trunk.

Evola and Doolittle are observing the same thing, but the holes of Doolittle’s sieve are much smaller compared to those of Evola’s. If Evola and Doolittle are to observe, for example, the solar system, Evola would propose that the reason a planet orbits the sun is that its matter has some kind of tendency for orbiting or a sort of motility. But Doolittle WILL explain that the reason a planet orbits the sun is a central force which varies exactly inversely as the square distance from the center. Now what I’m aiming at is that while Evola knows exactly what he wants to impose, he lacks A THEORY, he lacks a scientific language that would’ve helped him in understanding what he intuited, and therefore he fell into many traps, one of them is the savior myth.

    — CURT — SENTIMENTS: IT’S JUST NEUROLOGICALLY CHEAPER The Occult? Fiction? Sophisms? [I]ts actually just easier (cheaper) – to reduce dependence upon reason and memory, and let the connections be made by free association and suggestion.

When you say ‘well rounded’ that’s nonsense. when you say ‘cheaper and easier with greater reach for opportunity’ that’s true. So, increase precision with calculation and computation, and decrease precision with reason and more so with intuition. There is a correlation between age and dependence upon intuition vs reason. There is a correlation between isolation and dependence on intuition vs reason. I can intuit those relationships but I don’t feel comfortable stating the causality yet, although it does remind me of the feeling testosterone produces, that in turn, increases the radius of our awareness and thought in males as we mature.

    October 28th, 2018 8:38 AM GRAMMARS MATTER: COMPACT MONOPOLY CONFLATIONARY STAGNANT DYSGENIC VS DIFFERENTIATED MARKET DEFLATIONARY EVOLUTIONARY, EUGENIC SOCIAL ORDERS (important concepts)

    —“You might want to take a look at Eric Voegelin’s distinction between “compact” and “differentiated” symbolic systems.”– Chip Sills

    [I] understand it but it’s psychological not scientific and I work with the scientific model instead. In the end we face problems of computational cost (neural economy), and the grammars (models, objects, relations, values) that allow us to calculate (make comparisons, judgements, plans), offset by the frictions of status(face), and our order’s demand for either status(public/economic) or face (familial/personal), and local competition (homogeneity vs heterogeneity) and the institutions(norms, traditions, values, formal institutions) that arise from those conditions in the geography we sustain ourselves within. Simple people need simple anthropomorphic means of computation by free association (dream state, imagination, intuition) and more sophisticated people require means of calculation and computation that are increasingly more precise than the limits of human scale present in anthropomorphic models(grammars). So simple people and civilizations use high context/low precision grammars, and more complex civilizations use low context/high precision grammars. And our languages slowly evolve into “pidgins’ for high context, and large vocabulary nouns in low context for lower cognitive load, and for higher precision at the cost of higher cognitive load. So what Vogelin refers to as compact vs differentiated is an insightful version, rendering the choice psychological or arbitrary, where I use more precise, higher precision, terms and definitions, that expose the causes and consequences, and the non-arbitrariness of the relationship. Moreover, the CONFLATIONARY structure of MONOPOLY (monotheistic) religions and the MARKET structure of western civilization (poly grammatical) provides some of the best evidence of how monotheism (compact, monopoly, conflationary) models are easier to understand, but produce of necessity ignorance , stagnation, decline, and dysgenia. I hope this helps.

  • Why and How Pilpul Functions as A Means of Deception.

    October 28th, 2018 2:27 PM WHY AND HOW PILPUL FUNCTIONS AS A MEANS OF DECEPTION.

    —“(((They))) win by creating false dichotomies; the use of language is very important.”—Mirjana Bilić

    [T]heir technique of Pilpul: They use an element of truth to create a false dichotomy and therefore frame the question by suggestion, and obscure the solution due to anchoring. We are always vulnerable to anchoring. Because we are vulnerable to anchoring we are vulnerable to framing. Because we are vulnerable to framing we are vulnerable to suggestion and obscurantism. Because we are vulnerable to suggestion and obscurantism we are vulnerable to influence. If we are provided for incentive to justify that influence we can be controlled – by BLOCKING our OPPORTUNITY and MOTIVATION for seeking truth. The three abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam) all produce recursive ignorance cue to BLOCKING our search for truth. This is how PILPUL is used to deceive, and why math, logic, science, economics, law and testimonial truth are such an important defense. A lie (incentive), a half truth, a False dichotomy (choice). Low trust people simply dont’ go beyond the tangible. High trust people do. Our asset of high trust in constructing the commons which produce such outsized returns compared to other peoples. But our trust( suspension of disbelief), and vulnerability to anchoring, suggestion, and obscurantism make our ordinary folk easily deceived, manipulated, controlled, and preyed upon.
