    LANGUAGE MATTERS

    English and German, in particular, but indo european languages in general are analytic (meaning low context high precision). English uses a huge vocabulary and very precise grammar to increase precision further than the original german. But that said, german is a precise descriptive language.

    Semitic languages are synthetic (meaning high context low precision). So these languages require a great deal of interpretation, and are open to suggestion, allegory, and multiple meanings.

    Chinese is absurdly synthetic (extremely high context, and extremely low precision), and requires deduction from context to extract meaning. When you directly translate Chinese it sounds poetic. Not because it’s poetic but because it’s so imprecise that we interpret it as poetic.

    The west developed law and science, east reasoning and evidence, and the center superstition, parable, and deceitfulness. Why is it that the semitic peoples choose to lie to each other – and themselves? Why are they so low trust? Why could not even the ottomans produce a bureaucracy?

    Heterogeneity (diversity), Higher aggression. etc….

    —note—

    (Problems of disciplinary cross over. Analytic/Synthetic divide in philosophy, in linguistics(Grammar), vs vocabulary(Semantics) vs. … well you get the idea. I pull from multiple disciplines to create commensurable terminology. Misinterpretation by newbs is predictable.)

    Yeah. the grammars are as important as testimonial truth, acquisitionism, propertarianism, and the division of perception/cognition, and the coercion of the classes.

    The grammars solve an awful lot of problems by making all forms of discourse commensurable.

    I didn’t think it was such a big deal originally but it’s one of the more important insights.

  • Pilpul Is as Easily Identifiable as Its Negative: Critique

    —“I am somewhat curious as to why you blocked me from your timeline. …… You do come across as an intellectual, being an educated philosopher, I am just very surprised that an intellectual would have such a disdain for a fluid free flow of dialogue even if it does come from a position that might make some of your followers feel moderately uncomfortable. The greatest ideas of the intellectual heros throughout history were allowed to flourish due to at least somewhat of a tolerance towards dissenting views and novel ideas.”— Banned Pilpul Practitioner. It’s because (a) sarcasm, (b) pilpul. Specialize in truth, within truth in grammars, with grammars of the art of lying. Now you were raised in the culture that (a) invented poly moralism, (b) never succeeded at developing agrarian ethics, and (c) practiced pillpul to employ those polymoral ethics. But your method of argument (pilpul) is just as recognizable to me (and my followers) as is christian or muslim argument. So it’s simply that as a practitioner and teacher of truthful speech, I practiced what I teach, and that is, the punishment and suppression of ‘lying’, by the use of pilpul. It’s not complicated. You may not even be aware that you’re lying you just equate that form of lying with ‘reasonableness’. But I know (and we know) better: it’s an attempt to advertise ingroup morality while practicing ougroup immorality. I don’t support ‘free speech’ at all. I only support free ‘truthful speech’. And I expose and ostracize the rest.

    THE GRAMMAR OF PSEUDOSCIENCE

    (Sorry for interjecting on your post but it’s such a great example of psychologism versus incentives, it’s hard to let the opportunity pass.)

    INTERSECTIONALITY: The study of intersections between forms or systems of oppression, domination or discrimination.

    Or in economics (real social science, not pseudoscience) we call it the study of formal and informal institutions, and the competition between heterogeneous interests, in markets for association, cooperation, reproduction, production, production of commons, production of polities, production of group evolutionary strategies.

    IDENTITY POLITICS: A tendency for people of a particular religion, race, social background, etc., to form exclusive political alliances, moving away from traditional broad-based party politics.

    Or in economics (real social science, not pseudoscience) we call it ‘kin selection’ and ‘rational self interest’ because the cost of in-group cooperation(opportunity) is lower and the return on in-group signaling higher. The long term consequences result either in small populations and nationalism or large populations and castes. This is because our biological differences are extraordinarily differentiating in all markets for cooperation.

    THE GRAMMAR OF INTELLECTUAL FRAUD

    If suggestion, loading and framing are present in a discourse then it’s not science, it’s pseudoscience. All human behavior is reducible to the same laws as that of the physical universe: defeat of entropy. Emotions are just our reward or punishment for success or failure in fulfillment of those laws. All speech is either descriptive (in economic terms) or coercive (in psychological terms). And therefore truthful or fraudulent.

    There are only three methods of organizing human beings (coercion). 1) Force, 2) Compensation, 3) Ostracization (guilt, shaming, rallying).

    Truth is the only reciprocal compensation among those choices. Everything else is ignorance, error, bias, deceit, fraud, or predation.

    Cheers

    -Curt.
