    WHEN YOU SAY RATIONAL, I BET YOU MEAN REASONABLE.

    Imagining and Imaginable (freely associatable by the sharing of properties) UNDECIDABLE

    -vs-

    Reasoning and Reasonable (sympathetically understandable meaning justifiable to others) ACTIONABLE DECIDABILITY

    -vs-

    Rational and Rationalism (internally consistent but not externally correspondent, meaning persuasive to others) MORAL DECIDABILITY

    -vs-

    Ratio-scientific and Scientific (internally consistent, externally correspondent, categorically consistent) LEGAL DECIDABILITY

    Critical and Falsifiable (categorically consistent, internally consistent, externally correspondent, parsimoniously limited, and fully accounted.) SCIENTIFIC DECIDABILITY

    -vs-

    Truthful and Testimonial (categorically consistent, internally consistent, externally correspondent, parsimoniously limited, and fully accounted, and objectively moral: consisting of fully informed productive warrantied voluntary transfers limited to externalities of the same critiera), UNIVERSAL DECIDABILITY

    We use the term Rational as a synonym for Reasonable, and they are different standards.

  • Why Not Study The Cosmopolitans, Continentals, Philosophers of Language, and Mystics?

    WHY NOT STUDY THE CONTINENTALS, MYSTICS, PHILOSOPHERS OF LANGUAGE? [S]pending time analyzing lies is not useful. In fact, its harmful. And that’s the intent of the authors.

    —“If you dance with the devil, the devil doesn’t change, the devil changes you.”—

    Or less eloquently,

    —“If you spend a lot of time with dung, you begin to smell of it.”—

    Or put more accurately:

    We are all aware that the average idiot seems to feel qualified to engage in discourse on ethics, morality, politics, economics, psychology, and sociology, despite his pervasive ignorance.

    By constructing elaborate nonsense-riddles the producers of systems of lies accomplish indoctrination through amusement. In other words, the study of the language of deceit makes one a willing host for it, and an accidental accomplice to it. If philosophy and science are compatible then the subject at hand is possibly worth consideration. If they are not compatible, then the evidence is that the subject at hand is one of deception, not education. Curt Doolittle, The Propertarian Institute Kiev, Ukraine.

    THE WORD ‘ART’? WHAT DOES IT MEAN?

    We use the term ‘art’ to refer to

    (a) that which man makes,

    (b) that which he crafts well,

    (c) that which he imbues with design for aesthetic pleasure,

    (d) that which he crafts for the purpose of conveying meaning, and

    (e) that which we craft as monuments to be remembered.

    We have separated work and art because of artless industry. Prior, all craftsmanship was simply ‘art’.

    The root of “art” is ‘ar’ meaning ‘arm’.

    Produced by the arms (hands) of man.

    See?

    Now technically we still produce the following:

    Craft and Materials, Design and aesthetics, Meaning and Monument

    With these three measures all art can be compared.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weasel_wordWHAT ARE “WEASEL WORDS”?

    What is the test of ‘Reasonableness”

    Walter Block is the champion of using weasel words and reasonableness to construct immoral arguments by presenting a series of examples that appeal to moral intuitions, but do not evoke immoral intuitions that we would use to test them.

    Hoppe does not do this. He relies upon justificationary rationalism and the HOPE that there are enough good people in the world to construct a normative contract on top of NAP/IVP.
