    @Outsideness It’s not a theory – its deterministic. I have no idea why anyone thought that the proceeds of the industrial revolution would not equilibrate, along with the asymmetry of world power. Wealth extrovert to Tolerance. It’s incentives. Stress revert to tribal. We seize opportunities.

  • What Is The Deepest Philosophical Concept You Have Come By?

    There actually aren’t any that are also true. (Really)

    (No. Really. We produce “Wisdom Literature” in , mythological, theological, rational, historical, and scientific grammars: meaning rules of continuous disambiguation including disambiguation by permissible paradigms (vocabulary).)

    Science produces humiliatingly parsimonious knowledge – and all of the universe and our experience in it can be explained as one continuous set of consequences from a few very simple causes.

    In my study of history the number of truths is extremely small, all are knowable, and the number of falsehoods that we have invented to circumvent thought, emotion, and action that correspond with those truths is more numerous than the number of humans.

    Now, you see, name calling, is an admission that one cannot participate in a discourse because of inadequate vocabulary, available knowledge, available paradigms, and the ability to organize them into a set of constant relations that we call ‘argument’ – what humans do.

    (Experimenting the past few days, and I think I am over my fall burnout on philosophy because of how hard grammar was. That said, I’m sticking with my tech work for now. And I might work on strength a bit. )

    Look: Truth, Formal Logic, Formal Language, and Law are Via-Negativas, and are not going to be as popular or as accessible as story, parable, analogy, and essay.Natural Law, Programming, and Math are not accessible.I’m never going to be popular for my formal work.Not my audience.

    PROSE AND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN

    There is a vast difference between people who speak in poetic, mythic, literary, and analogical verse in order to communicate to the unwashed a truth inaccessible to them by operational description – and those people who speak in poetic, mythic, literary and analogical verse because they do not know of the truth of what they speak and so cannot speak in operational verse.

    One learns the use of aesthetic parsimony only to improve upon the communicability of what he has to say. But he must have something worth saying upon which to improve.

    Otherwise he is just another actor in someone else’s clothes speaking someone else’s verse, the meaning of which he does not, and need not grasp, taking applause he did not earn.

    I can teach a large percentage of people operational grammar and semantics – the formal logic of natural law, and the language of scientific testimony. Its easier than teaching Programming. But beware “You may not like what you find.” Truth is empowering, but humiliating too.
