    (FB 1544724200 Timestamp) SECOND BIT OF CLARITY FOR THE DAY: DIMENSIONS OF DUE DILIGENCE Dimensions of Necessary Warranty of Due Diligence:

    • 0 identity
    • 1 internal consistency (logical) (verbal)
    • 2 external correspondence (empirical) (existential)
    • 3 existential possibility (operational) (actionable)
    • 4 rational choice (voluntary and rational) (choice)

    + 5 reciprocity (reciprocally voluntary and rational)(morality)

    + limits, full accounting, and parsimony (complete)

    = Coherence (complete consistency) (a) I sometimes don’t separate out rational choice and reciprocity and simply use Morality for the combination. (b) I sometimes don’t enumerate limits, full accounting, and parsimony, but just use full accounting. (c) I sometimes don’t mention coherence because it only seems to confuse people that it’s the consistency across all of the dimensions (d )All of these are simply tests of consistency within or across (coherence) dimensions that it is possible for man to test. (e) Limits, Full Accounting, Parsimony, are tests of every individual dimension The rest of the tests, only the given dimension.

But I will ask you to notice in them the study of philosophy and their advocacy by moral and sentimental appeal to generate understanding and consent. The spectrum of argumentative methods: 1) Religion and Theology to agree on a means of resistance for the collective good. 2) Philosophy and Morality to create understanding and to obtain consent on a collective good. 3) Science, Economics, Law, and War to impose a collective good regardless of resistance, understanding, and consent. We are and always have been the minority. We drag mankind behind us on a heavy sled. There is no sovereignty by undrestanding or consent, only the organized application of violence to deny anyone and everyone the alternative. If they understand and consent all the better. But understanding an consent are not necessary. This is the difference in my message. War.

    (FB 1545531036 Timestamp) NIT: English has 470k words in the OED, and estimates of 1M, if we account for synonyms and references rather than just spellings, with 1.2-1.5M if we account for what are two and three word terms in english but one word in a compound language like german, and then there is scientific terminology. English is a very low context high precision language especially suited for science and law. (Although german appears to be better for engineering because it evolved to be.)

    (FB 1545943056 Timestamp) RE: Nassim Nicholas Taleb ON HIS IQ RANT I will still take this debate, but not interwoven with twitter-spam. (a) g measures what we attempt to measure (b) chance of success corresponds to a distribution of traits, plus the utility of those traits, in service of the population under the bell curve within 1 SD. Those of us with exceptional abilities favor working with our region of the bell curve – puzzles – that are of INDIRECT value rather than DIRECT value. WE HAVE KNOWN THIS FOR DECADES. Lastly, we go to university etc to avoid the marketplace (‘work’). This is the value of higher education: to provide a non-market means of identifying selection. In this sense your criticism is correct. In the sense that you’re criticizing IQ measurements, you’re WRONG …PERIOD. All of this is OLD NEWS. If you want to encourage people to prosper by pairing their skills to those necessary to serve the market that they understand, then yes. If you mean very bright people are fooled by sophism, innumeracy, pseudoscience – then yes. But likewise, just as it has taken you many years to migrate from the positivist search for mathematical discovery of units of informational prediction, to the demand for warranty of due diligence (falsification), you too are vulnerable to innumeracy, pseudoscience, ‘literature’.

Grammars, Dimensional Warranties of Due Diligence, operational language, acquisitions, propertarianism. Those sets of concepts produce a formal logic of social science, expressible not with set language, but with operational language. Like I said. There is a wonderful parsimonious elegance underneath it all. It’s beautiful. Truth is enough – and it is now possible.
