  • No the Constitution and Anglo Law Are Not Philosophical – They’re Empirical

    —“What is the significance of a philosophical approach to the constitution?”—

    1 – Contrary to popular belief, the constitution is not a philosophical document. 2 – Contrary to popular belief, the common law is not a philosophical discipline. 3 – The natural law of tort (demonstrated interests) is purely empirical (scientific). It’s not philosophical. Philosophers only sought to explain it. We discovered it by adjudicating differences in order to end conflicts and to ‘keep the peace’ meaning ‘cooperation between members of the community’ – in particular to prevent retaliation cycles (feuds). This is why the first laws do not state the law, they only standardize punishments – because the law existed, everyone knew the laws – they’re common sense. But the variation in punishments created retaliation cycles (feuds). A standard punishment demands the community enforce the punishment as ‘settlement of differences’ and ensure both parties against further feuds. 4 – This law is predicated on self-determination, individual sovereignty to achieve it, reciprocity to maintain it, jury and court to decide it, and markets in all aspects of life as a consequence of it. (This is what other civs can’t do – get past familism or tribalism) 5 – The constitution presumes the common law (not positive law), and articulates a market for the production of commons. It’s just another marketplace. 6 – The constitution contains processes for transactional modification of that marketplace. The bill of rights shouldn’t be necessary (and many of the founders didn’t think so) but their failure was to define the common law sufficiently that rights weren’t necessary. 7 – A constitution is a contract that produces a ledger for transactions under the rule of law of natural law of tort. it’s a recipe for running a legal accounting system, for the production of contracts under the natural law of tort. The ‘philosophical’ claims about the constitution are relatively recent attempts to undermine it and end rule of law. It’s the most boring empirical system known by man – which is why no other people in the world have constitutions – only ‘documents of nice words’.

  • My job is to reform thought

    (worth repeating) My job is to reform thought by increasing precision using disambiguation, serialization, operational language. Not to excuse the existing imprecision of thought. That frequently requires re-definition of terms whenever possible, and neologisms as a last resort.

    Producing Measurements by Triangulation

    Triangulation. It’s the same process as disambiguation by Serialization and operationalization. Use of adversarial competition to rank by one or more dimensions. Art is the best example of something we presume can’t be objectively measured. But we can judge almost anything by the accumulated excellence of human actions: caloric content (more dependencies is better). Take an art movement. Take the examples of that movement. analyze and rank by craftsmanship(construction, technique, materials), design(aesthetics, composition, light, color, texture, ), meaning (content, simple content to high content). Compare the ultimate achievements of that movement with those that were less so. Order them – this is triangulation. “Where does this fit between what other two?” You will notice that the progression is not linear but logarithmic, with many adequate pieces and few superior. You now have an ordinal if logarithmically scaling measure if not a cardinal and linear measure. Keep adding artworks until because of marginal indifference, you must categorize groups instead of stacking individual pieces. Now those categories produce a cardinal measure. Repeat for all art movements. Then stack those movements. You now have a metric for judging pieces (three dimensions), categories (one or three dimensions), and movements (one or three dimensions). Art is the hardest thing I know of, but the triangulation is how the brain works internally, so … well, there you go.
