WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
(repost)
Once I’m done teaching you, you’ll understand that aryan reason and science produced a series of deflationary grammars by which we iteratively increase our truth tests, while semitic pilpul took that invention and inverted it creating a series of conflationary and inflationary grammars of fictionalism, by which to produce deceptions.
Armed with this understanding you will have the basis of white sharia: natural law.

Well it seems that our ancient ancestors had it right, even if the mediterraneans and medievals made it into an ideal. knowledge (n.) early 12c., cnawlece “acknowledgment of a superior, honor, worship;” for first element see know (v.). The second element is obscure, perhaps from Scandinavian and cognate with the -lock “action, process,” found in wedlock. From late 14c. as “capacity for knowing, understanding; familiarity;” also “fact or condition of knowing, awareness of a fact;” also “news, notice, information; learning; organized body of facts or teachings.” Sense of “sexual intercourse” is from c. 1400. Middle English also had a verb form, knoulechen “acknowledge” (c. 1200), later “find out about; recognize,” and “to have sexual intercourse with” (c. 1300); compare acknowledge.

THE ORIGIN OF THE SCANDINAVIAN COGNATE FOR KNOWLEDGE IS A VERB – “THE PROCESS OF, OR ACTION OF KNOWING”.

Kindly Reminder. This is a No Meme zone.
I delete memes and images and music as substitutes for argument. I teach argument. I teach natural law. There are other places to communicate via imagery. This is the one place where I (we) require words. Of course, i make rare exceptions for meme-ing me or putting arguments on art.
And yes, I’ve been doing this for the past few years. And yes people have complained for years. I curate my feed. And no I don’t care what you think. 😉

DEFINITION OF “ABRAHAMISM” IN NATURAL LAW
(repost)
In our Glossary of Natural Law “Abrahamism” refers to the argumentative technique of using Pilpul (via-positiva), and Critique (via-negativa) to construct sophisms (the argumentative equivalent of numerology and astrology) via use of loading, framing, suggestion, obscurantism, overloading, the Fictionalisms, appeals to reasonableness, and false promise, to create hazards.
All three Abrahamic Religions, Kantian philosophy, Marxist argument, and Postmodern thought all make use of this technique of argument, often stated as “Dialectic” but operationally consisting of Pilpul vs Critique.
( If you cast this term as ‘racist’ or ‘hate speech’ you’re just either ignorant or a liar or both: a bad person. )
Most of Propertarianism (the Natural Law of Reciprocity) consists of attempts to prevent Abrahamic arguments and replace them with Testimonial (Ratio-Scientific-and-Operational) arguments so that Law (Constitutions) can be constructed strictly and logically and is not open to accidental, intentional, misinterpretation. Thus requiring legislatures reform a law rather than allow legislation from the Jurist’s bench – which is the means by which the US Constitution was undermined.
My work consists of the suppression of deception (parasitism) by rhetorical means. Only liars and thieves would seek to suppress it.

DIMENSIONS OF MEASUREMENT There are three dimensions of art criticism: – Craftsmanship (includes materials) – Design (the play of order(composition) and bounty(beauty) and perception) – Content (the content and values of that content) All art can be judged by triangulation (comparison) along these three axis. There is no possible cardinality to art but ordinality can be achieved by recursive triangulation. ALL ART BEGINS WITH MONUMENTAL ARCHITECTURE AND DEVOLVES TO DECORATION AND HANDCRAFTS – Monumental Architecture is self selecting due to cost. – Monumental Sculpture is self selecting due to cost. – Monumental Painting is self selecting due to cost. – Life Size Representationalism (not photorealism) in painting is self selecting due to cost (hours). HOWEVER – Painting, Print, and Photography are not self selecting. They are middle, working, and lower class substitutes for monuments. – Even for the upper middle and upper class, and out-of-sight class, the few pieces of quality art that are canon (mentioned in art magazines and books, and references, or which had popular press) are inaccessible. Demand is just too high. So given the high signal value of art (yes it is an extreme expression of dominance), the market has had to experiment with novelty in order to satisfy demand. Much of what ordinary people rail against is the same as railing against fashion: for those in the fashion industries (of which display art is a member) novelty has to function as a substitute for scarcity of craftsmanship quality (note my particular distaste for the so called ‘art glass’ industry). AS SUCH – Monumental works convey ideas (allegiances, heroics, beauty) – The demand for low cost high production ‘decoration’ (a) may form an icon or ‘remembrance’. (b) may decorate the environment. (c) may reflect the monumental, life sized, and representational, is misplaced in non monumental size (which is what most of us intuit as great work). IN OTHER WORDS – Monumental work is misplaced in most homes and offices in market (business) and is generally reserved for the political and institutional and aristocratic. – Most homes cannot support monumental work and require only design (decoration). – Most people are actually not capable of design, or capable of acquiring the monumental. – As such the colorful, abstract, the impressionistic, are to homes as type design and color pallet are to print and display advertising. IN OTHER WORDS – when people purchase relatively well made ‘design’ (abstract, gestural, impressionistic) of architectural size (to fill a wall) they are practicing good aesthetics (not acting on pretense). – when people pay homage to the monumental in private spaces, they are practicing good aesthetics. (small engineering drawings, paintings of flowers, well constructed prints) – when people pay homage to the monumental in architectural spaces (your living room, hallway, or dining room, or office) you are (a) alienating others, and (b) PERSONAL: ALLORA AND I We purchased a detailed mezzotint (print) of an elaborately painstakingly made tree that is about four or five feet tall in all, and framed in a wide matte and black frame. This was the centerpeice of the livingroom between two custom made bookcases. And in the center of the living room we had a glass table with her art jewelry collection and work. And Allora decorated a hallway with dozens of small pieces of framed photographs, etchings, mezzotints, and collections of remembrances. THE DESTRUCTION OF WEST VIA DESTRUCTION OF ARTS LITERATURE HISTORY LAW AND SCIENCE. Allora and I were a rare couple because we were the last generation that could be ‘cultured’ – you actually can’t get an art education any longer. You can’t get a liberal arts education any longer (the whig history). The marxists have destroyed art on purpose just as they have destroyed literature, academics, law, and history. It is nearly impossible to ‘be cultured’ in the aristocratic sense any longer. And it was destroyed on purpose by (((the marxists, socialists and postmodernists))). WE MUST ONCE AGIAN BE WARRIORS SO OUR CHILDREN CAN BE COMPETITIVE SO OUR GRAND CHILDREN CAN BE ARTISTS.

Axioms can exist only in formal logic (and mathematics), laws between men – and conversely theories provide explanatory power about the universe. An axiom in formal logic is declared the equivalent of true, and therefore we assume it’s no longer contingent or externally correspondent for our purposes of further (subsequent) construction and deduction. So in that sense we can use axioms for ‘what if’ scenarios in logic, and the interpretation of moral norms, and legislation and law, and textual analysis including scripture – which is where all this form of verbal reasoning comes from: non correspondence with reality, only internal consistency. Whereas we can only use hypotheses theories and laws when we are making a contingent truth claim about the existential rather than the verbal and ideal. Hypotheses theories and laws originated in the description of correspondence with reality. As such the use of axioms helps us test logical internal consistency, and the use of theories helps us test external correspondence – since nature is always internally consistent: it can’t help it. That’s what determinism *means*. As such Axioms and Theories are polar opposites. And using one in the place of the other is generally either a matter of ignorance or attributing the correspondence and consistency of that which is deterministic under logical declaration to that which is underdeterministic under physical description. I don’t find this very difficult because in math we use axioms, in science we use laws, and only sophists in philosophy seem to attempt to either conflate the two, or to attribute the properties of axioms to that of theories and laws – and that means there are a lot of sophists (like Mises and Rothbard, not to mention Hoppe and every marxist that ever lived). And as I’ve said, as far as I know math survives, but formal logic was a dead end, the grammars replace them, and philosophy is reduced to the preferable and good not the true. And what we call science (due diligence) and law (testimony) determine truth. So, at present, In my understanding – which I have serious doubts that I’ll ever be refuted – the word axiom is archaic and has no use outside of mathematics and symbolic logic that seeks to imitate mathematics through conversion of reality (operations) to ideals (sets). Axiom = Arbitrary, and Theory = Existential.
WTH is wrong with you? An axiom is a declaration – an ideal. A theory is a contingent explanation – a real. Logical and ideal axioms. Descriptive and real theories. They are not synonyms.
