AI will probably lie a lot, because so many games require that, but it’s not unrealistic to think it will lie less to itself. … Humans are trapped at a cognitive level that depends upon buying into their own bullshit. … They’re generally so bad at lying they have to become deception zombies. – Nick Land (Outsideness)
The degree to which we are dependent upon whatever set of paradigms in whatever set of narratives, we use for our network of decidability, is something between humbling and humiliating – which only increases my conviction that we must accumulate Law like we do accounting entries. Debits (acts) and Credits (revisions) continuously trying to maintain a positive balance sheet of human behavior, shipping new products of law as fast as parasites invent new means of imposing costs upon others.
The industrialization of lying by sophism and pseudoscience, denialism, and deceit using new media in the 19th 20th, and the capture of ‘preaching’ in school, academy, and media by profiting from use of this technique has left the 20th a repeat of the first-second century.

THE CONSTITUTION OF POLITICAL CONSPIRACIES
—“The purpose of policy is to destroy the family?”— A Twitter Critic
I think you, like most victims of 20th C pseudoscience attribute greater agency to our intentions, and stated intent over external consequence. Conspiracies of common cognitive bias, common interest are endemic even if common intent isn’t – outside of those with such agency.
Learn the technique of false promise, baiting into moral hazard, pilpul (via positiva), critique (via negativa), and its common thread in the three monotheistic religions, marxism, pomo, feminism, and political correctness – but insightfully, the female strategy of undermining.
To say its a conspiracy of intent would require intentionality of female anti-social expression (psychosis, promiscuity, undermining, reputation destruction). Instead, social super-predation (undermining) is instinctual for most; a political strategy some & deliberate for others.
Useful idiots constitute the vast majority of the population (I know, I have iffy followers too.) For whom the portfolio of sentiments need be satisfied, not the central object of stated policy. Humans account for calories(consumption), and status(opportunity) almost exclusively.
Just as economic policy consists of pulling a small number of levers to produce externalities by design, social and political policy consists of many more levers which produce direct objective and external objectives. Rarely if ever is the stated policy the central objective.
This is why the declaration, constitution, and bill of rights are an adequate attempt to restate norman,anglo-saxon, germanic traditional law as natural law, expressed in specific rights. But lacking strict construction from the foundations of that law, the constitution was weak.

Hayek and Poincare were right: the 20th will be remembered as a repeat of christianization and islamization of the ancient world – this time with sophism, pseudoscience and denial,instead of sophism, supernaturalism and denial:false promise of reversing the consequences of genes.
I don’t err. It’s my job not to. -Cheers.

Now, gov’t can also have another function which is to have a system where different groups of people can negotiate on commons. (I may take a minute to explain the difference between via-negativa & via-positiva, & briefly define “commons”.) The key is to enable representatives of the people to negotiate on commons without violating reciprocity. The problem is our representatives are currently able to make laws that violate reciprocity (“lawmakers” – they shouldn’t be lawmakers, there is only one law, natural law of reciprocity), instead they should be negotiating on commons, without violating reciprocity. Can you give us an idea how this could look, paint a picture for us? Were there times in our history when we did this better than we do now that would give us a reference point?
Something we’re missing here, is the difference between a perfect institutional model for a given population distribution at a given level of development, and a perfect institutional model for those who have been successful in the production of a middle class polity, where members of the polity own and act as they own the commons as well as the private. So there is an optimum government for europeans, but many other people lag because they cannot at least yet, produce a middle class polity in which every other person is a potential customer in one of the series of markets for cooperation. It’s this incentive not the belief in the good that creates a high trust polity. And it’s rule of law and it’s suppression of parasitism that drives people into those markets instead of markets for parasitism. And by and large it’s a military tradition that makes that law possible. Because military epistemology is empirical and does not tolerate falsehood. Humans do poorly at mixing epistemologies. This is somewhat of a benefit since military epistemology is a prophylactic against sophistry. The structure is the same but the distribution of the franchise (participation) can only expand as does membership in the market. Furthermore as the market expands, new people enter the market but some others exit it. For example, why do state employees have a vote? That said there is a conflict between desire for consumption that as it’s increasing produces status feedback, and increases in consumption and change that leave people behind or feeling left behind. So progress only works as long as consumption is increasing. And it’s not any longer because frankly there is very little left we desire to consume at this level of development. We’ve sort of saturated physical, emotional, and intellectual demand. All that’s left is signaling and security. We had perfect government…(describe british prewar system)
This creates markets for producing trades between groups with different interests. In a perfect world we would have a government that was dynamic and adapted to periods of war and scarcity (authority), ordinary markets, and windfalls. A monarchy as a judge of last resort, meaning any decision can be vetoed. And some percentage of revenues under discretionary control of the monarchy so that arts and letters and character are open to exclusive funding. A federal government limited to function of insurer of last resort, meaning a purely via-negativa government managing military, law, treasury, and social security. Local governments competing to produce attractive commons Cities and territories governed separately because of their vast difference in costs and value of commons. Cities are gene sinks they’re terrible but people desire them.

1) I have the ‘last 30 day’ plan ready. It’s going to blow people away. But we can’t do it until next spring at the earliest. Just letting you know that it’s going to surprise people, it will bring in the people to act, and that combined with ‘hitting the road’ is going to work. I’m not going to talk about it until the last minute.
2) Is there a chance you would be willing to do a video per article of the constitution over the winter so that we get into a discussion like the federalist papers? i mean, interview style we walk through the constitution and we cover law and policy. This is what people will be interested in. I think this is waaaay too much to ask of you. So I’ll try to find someone else if you can’t, but I think a series of shorter videos on each article of teh constitution, including the declaration, preamble, man, and law is worth doing. it’ll end up being federalist papers set two and it might be the means by which we hit even more mainstream people.

أنا أعلم. نعم حقا.
الجميع في العالم مجنون.
أنا أعرف لماذا الجميع مجنون.
انه واضح.
من الواضح ، علينا أن نذهب إلى الجنون
لقد انتهى القرن الماضي.
والآن عدنا إلى وضعها الطبيعي.
الأسر. العشائر. القبائل. الأمم. الحضارات.
لقد انتهت العولمة المجنونة.
