Jan 26, 2020, 4:41 PM IT”S NOT JUST RECIPROCITY: THE METHOD When you’re testing for reciprocity ask: 1 – Is it productive? Do we both have more capital under subjective value after the transfer or not? 2 – Is it fully informed? Meaning, truthful and complete. 3 – Is it voluntary a voluntary transfer of demonstrated interests? 4 – Is it free of imposition of costs by externality on the demonstrated interests of others? 5 – Is the other party warrantying that it is productive, fully informed, voluntary, and free of externality? 6 – Is it restitutable if it is warrantied? Meaning is is possible to perform restitution, and is the other party capable of paying restitution? For example: WHEREAS; Party A wants to deny party B the right to bear arms. WHERE; 1. Is it productive? Well no. It’s an attempt to reduce some harm at the cost of enabling another harm, but there is a difference in preference over the choice of bearing those harms. 2. Is it fully informed? Well no. It’s an attempt to circumvent accounting for the tradeoff in risks, under the pretense that a preference is equal to a truth. 3. Is it voluntary. Well no, it is involuntary or the question would not arise. 4. Is it free of imposition of costs by externality on the demonstrated interests of others? Well, no, not limiting the right to bear arms imposes costs (risk) upon those who might be harmed by those with arms, and limiting it imposes costs (risk) upon those who defend self family commons and government from usurpation. 5. Is it warrantied and warrantable. No. Neither side can warrantee the other. 6. Is it restitutable. No life is not restitutable wither in defense of rights or in defense of self. 7. Can an alternate solution be made? Of course. Pay the cost of protecting your interests rather than depriving others of the right to protect their interests. THEREFORE 9. The alternative solution is (a)to have those people who wish to bear the risk of a disarmed public pay for their defense, or (b) for those who wish change to finance and move to a separate geography with different limits. This is a cursory treatment but you get the idea.

“But How Do You Define Intelligence?”
Intelligence is:
(a) definable(ideal), (b) measurable(potential), and; (c) demonstrable(existential); … and like all cognition:
mechanical(biological), accidental (idiosyncratic accumulation of experience or knowledge), and deliberate (training). With conscientiousness is just as important as intelligence Intelligence provides discount on the rate of learning(adapting to) increasing complexity and consciousness duration of tolerance for frustration – and together these defeat time and complexity. Wanna be Scared? What do you think Ohm’s Law tells us? Same thing: Dehumanizing. I(current) =V(voltage)/R(resistance) Intelligence = Information / Resistance
DEFINITIONS:
Sentience, Awareness, Consciousness, Agency, and Intelligence : The Evolution of Memory and Its Adaptation and Friction
SENTIENCE: Sense and Perceive changes in state, absent prediction and choice. Neurology not ‘memory’.
AWARENESS: Awareness of changes in bodily and environmental state because of the availability of short term memory, limited long term, little if any forecasting. Short term memory.
CONSCIOUSNESS SPECTRUM: Modeling Space, Time, and Others, including the modeling of space, time by others because of extensive Long term memory. Some degree of forecasting but limited recursive permutation (thinking).
AGENCY: Given that predictions (models) and the actions to bring them about are computed by our brains simultaneously, the ability to suppress, recursively iterate upon, and choose between, then act upon or choose not to act upon those impulses. Multiple competing forecasts, with control over selection of subject(choice of forecast) of recursion.
INTELLIGENCE refers to a very general mental capability that, among other things, involves the ability to reason, plan, solve problems, think abstractly, comprehend complex ideas, learn quickly and learn from experience. Individuals differ from one another in their ability to understand complex ideas, to adapt effectively to the environment, to learn from experience, to engage in various forms of reasoning, to overcome obstacles by deliberate thought.
BIOLOGICAL INTELLIGENCE consists in requiring less biological resources to obtain more relevant predictions with limited error, in shorter time. It’s a measure of ‘cable friction’ (really) – meaning lower is better. (neuronal resistance is calculated using the same formula as undersea cables.)
INTELLIGENCE QUOTIENT is a variable that summarizes positive correlations among different cognitive tasks, reflecting the fact that an individual’s performance on one type of cognitive task tends to be comparable to that person’s performance on other kinds of cognitive tasks.
DEMONSTRATED INTELLIGENCE requires (a) ‘g’, (b) short term memory (working memory), (c) general knowledge, (d) concordance of wants with reality (not wanting or believing impossible or stupid things), (e) trait conscientiousness (sticking to it).
The consciousness spectrum is a function of memory – and especially memory as a ratio of body size – and all consciousness evolves from the same function: body modeling in space determined by available movement.
The sequence of states above are all names of marginal differences in state in the spectrum of cognition and as such represent a continuity of increasing recursive iterations of neuronal organization and not discreet functions.
In any self organizing, self reinforcing, neuronal system (network), each iteration (layer of abstraction) increases the prediction in time, space, and distance from perception to calculation. And tools of computation (language-communication, accumulated experience(know1edge), theory, writing, formulae, numbers, logic) allow us to use internal and external tools for increasing prediction of the time, space, object, population, with our given abilities – which across human classes, range dramatically.

Yes We Can Falsify All Human Speech in Court.
Jan 30, 2020, 10:11 PM We can, and do, falsify all human action in court. The question was, could we falsify all human speech in court. The answer is yes. The usual problem is that someone wants an ideology(political) philosophy (secular theological), or theology (supernatural theological) solution – which is impossible. Because Science (truthful testimony) is falsificationary. As far as I know, P is complete. And there are no false or ir-reciprocal statements that can survive its falsification. That fact that people can’t get their noggins around the fact that all science (testimony) like markets (competition) is falsificationary is a common problem. But it stems from a failure to understand that science is falsificationary, then demanding P, like philosophy, ideology, or religion be justificationary. It’s not. So they criticize P for not being a science on the one hand by false presumption science is justificationary, and then complain P isn’t justificationary. Kind of silly really, but you can see where they get it from. Most people are stuck in the error of “Mathiness” because they don’t grasp the constitution of, or limits of, mathematics. Math breaks down in all three directions: the very small, the very large, and the very-human (cognitive): economics. If you need a positive theology, philosophy, ideology, sophism, or pseudoscience, then I understand the via-positiva is necessary for simple minds. But grownups are not afraid of via-negativa (skepticism), because we know all non trivial non tautological propositions are contingent, because we may always or nearly always, discover some novel parsimony that allows us to reorganize our paradigms for greater consistency, correspondence, coherence, completeness and parsimony than before.

Ordinary Flu Deaths Each Year Are Limited
Feb 1, 2020, 11:35 AM (compiled) According to the World Health Organization (WHO), flu globally attacks 5%–10% adults and 20%–30% children annually. According to the CDC, during the year when the influenza A (H3N2) viruses are prominent, death rates are typically more than double as compared to seasons when the influenza A (H1N1) or influenza B viruses dominate. This is because the influenza A (H3N2) virus is far more potent and contagious than the H1N1 influenza virus. Hospitalizations and flu season deaths occur mainly among the high-risk groups such as young children below the age of 5 years, the elderly above the age of 65 years, and those with chronic medical illnesses. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), experts say the flu season is in full swing with an estimated 4.6 million flu illnesses, 39,000 hospitalizations and 2,100 deaths from flu so far this season. The rate of outpatient visits for influenza-like illnesses (ILI) spiked in the week ending on Dec 21, from 3.9% to 5.1% — a trend typically seen during winter holidays. Rates of ILI have been above the national baseline of 2.4% for 7 weeks. Twenty-five states and the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and New York City reported high levels of ILI. Flu activity was described as widespread in 39 states. The CDC said hospitalization rates rose to 6.6 per 100,000 population, up from 5.5 per 100,000 population during the second week of December. The highest rate of hospitalization was among adults aged older than 65 (14.4 per 100,000 population), followed by children ages 0 to 4 (12.5 per 100,000 population) and adults ages 50 to 64 (7.0 per 100,000 population). All age groups have seen a significant increase in the last week. The CDC said hospitalization rates mirror previous seasons. Influenza A has been detected in 52.9% of hospitalized cases, and 46.4% were associated with influenza B. In testing at public health labs, influenza B accounts for 58.8% of positive flu samples collected from across the country, 98.7% of which are Victoria lineage. Influenza A was detected in 41.2% of specimens, with most of those (94.8%) subtyped as the H1N1 strain first seen in 2009. “Activity is being caused mostly by influenza B/Victoria viruses, which is unusual for this time of year. A(H1N1) viruses are the next most common and are increasing in proportion relative to other influenza viruses in some regions,” the CDC said. Three pediatric deaths were also recorded in the last week, raising the season’s total to 22. All three recent deaths were associated with influenza B viruses; only six deaths in total this season have been associated with influenza A. In the 2018-2019 flu season, the CDC confirmed 143 pediatric deaths. The CDC encouraged all who have not yet done so to receive a seasonal influenza vaccine, as the season is set to last for several more weeks. DEATHS DUE DO EPIDEMICS The world has seen five pandemics during the last century, which took a large number of lives. Here are the figures of deaths that occurred in the United States and Worldwide during those years.
1889 Russian Flu Pandemic – about 1 million flu deaths
“Spanish flu” A of 1918-19 caused the highest number of influenza-related deaths: approximately 500,000 deaths occurred in the U.S. and 20 million worldwide. That figure is more than the total number of deaths caused by the World War one — 16 million. As a matter of fact, during that year, the flu had killed more people than any other illness in recorded history.
“Asian flu” A of 1957-58 caused 70,000 deaths in the United States and about one million to two million deaths worldwide
“Hong-Kong flu” A of 1968-69 resulted in 34,000 deaths in the United States and an estimated one million to three million people died worldwide.
2009 H1N1 Flu Pandemic – about 18,300 deaths in the United States and up to 203,000 deaths worldwide

Democracy Does Not Produce Accountability
Feb 3, 2020, 1:36 PM Democratic representatives are not accountable in any measurable way other than to throw out the entire party via cyclical dissatisfied with status quo. P-Law constrains them to truthful reciprocal constitutional speech, requires stated terms, subjects them to legal prosecution. So that they are accountable for their party actions; for the commitments they made; liable for the constitutionality of legislation and regulation they sign; and for their display word and deed. That’s accountability.
