OLOGY VS ISM
by Bill Joslin
New corrected dichotomy” *-ology vs *-ism.
*-Ologies exist as mean of measurement and utility; *-isms as rationalizations for doxia and opinion.
( ouch I’m gonna have to do some work because of that one ..)

(worked too hard yesterday. too much coffee to do it. paying for it today. but love this video on judging (measuring) art so far. )

GODS AS UNITS OF MEASURE
—“Curt, when you say ‘A GOD is a unit of measure’, what do you mean? This idea hit me strictly from the judeo christian “god made man in his image”. Like a blue print. But i have found that referring to god as a unit of measure only seems to offend christians jews and muslims. My point was never meant to insult. Yaweh , Allah, Odin, even Satan are units of measure. Where as men we are meant to measure ourselves against as to see how and where we need to grow to become better. …i had to quit talking about this at work.”—
First, while most people consider the big ideas, very few people think very deep thoughts. And the vast majority who try (like anything else) fail catastrophically. I tend to avoid such conversations unless others start them and make some error that I feel they would benefit from, or the commons would benefit from, correcting.
And then, it might be better to say that a god or gods function as a system of measurement, by which people of the same god, make the same measurements (judgments), because those measurements are commensurable (compatible).
Different gods require different sets of measurements, producing different judgements, that are internally commensurable (compatible) but externally not. So in this sense it’s a system of measurement we are referring to.
And that is because anthropomorphism is much easier for we simple human animals to work with that reason science, and calculation.
There are some relatively universal traits among all gods, but there are many differences. Particularly when ‘gods’ are ‘spirits’ or ‘ancestors’ rather than fictional characters.
Those gods we ‘thank’ and persist their investments in us (ancestors), those gods that are like fickle humans and fickle nature for us to thank for the good, and outwit for the bad (european), those gods that provide wisdom (buddha), those gods that are slave-owners (abrahamic), each function as a system of measurement by which we understand, judge, and act in response to the universe and gods and politics and each other.
The western Method of math, logic, Science, Economics, Law, History and Literature is a better system of measure – for an aristocracy of the middle class and higher. It does however require a great deal more training for a great deal longer, than children’s stories and anthropomorphic systems of measurement.

Keyword search works pretty well.

Looks lux and very masculine.Dec 4, 2018, 1:16 PMChris JonesIn my humble opinion your videos are better when you are in conversation with guest as opposed to these one shot monologuesDec 4, 2018, 1:55 PMCurt DoolittleI completely agree. Let’s see how this video on art works. If it doesn’t work, then I’ll find someone to make them with me by walking through the slides and making it more conversational – because that’s what I like as well. It makes i a lot easier for me to ‘envison the audience’.Dec 4, 2018, 2:00 PMTim Beckley-SpillaneThe solo vids have their own virtues tho, too- you’re more likely to stay on point with fewer digressions. They’re prob better for introductory material, as they give a firm foundation for understanding a given topic. The conversational stuff is great for further refinement of ideas and the usually less formal presentation. Also interesting as a window into individual specializations and larger group dynamics within the Prop circle.Dec 4, 2018, 2:36 PMIgor SurkanovWill you be growing a man bun?Dec 4, 2018, 3:18 PMKari Anne DorstadHi dear hugs 🤗Dec 4, 2018, 3:25 PMAndrea RoyallIgor- noDec 4, 2018, 5:01 PMCurt Doolittleum… what? You looking for a fight or somethin’? lolDec 4, 2018, 6:01 PMAnthony ErbesCurt Doolittle Where would you recommend starting at with your work? I only stumbled a crossed you recently through a friend of a friend.Dec 4, 2018, 7:15 PMCurt DoolittleIt’s a big program (huge) so my opinion is that it’s easier to scan through the overview on the web site.
And then watch the videos on youtube.
And then read the overview.Dec 4, 2018, 7:20 PMChris JonesBest thing to do is to follow Curt’s posts every day while simultaneously working your way through the Propertarian Reading List (ALL of Curt’s arguments are vindicated by the current state of knowledge)Dec 4, 2018, 7:32 PMChris JonesAnd watch this https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=9Z9NHQdiSZc&t=14sDec 4, 2018, 7:34 PMTim Beckley-Spillane^^^ Classic- we need more Roman in our lives ^^^Dec 4, 2018, 7:38 PMFrancesco PrincipiThe Man.Dec 5, 2018, 4:28 AMNick HeywoodI’m not waving back
That’d just be silly! =DDec 5, 2018, 5:07 AMAnthony ErbesThanks! Curt Doolittle Did you say before your starting a course in January?Dec 7, 2018, 8:45 AMCurt Doolittle^Yes.Dec 7, 2018, 8:50 AMAnthony ErbesCurt Doolittle I’m assuming sign up will be on your propertarian website?Dec 7, 2018, 1:20 PMCurt Doolittleyes. we’re just configuring the software now. Evertyhing takes me longer than I want it to but we get there… lolDec 7, 2018, 1:22 PMAnthony ErbesOk. Yeah. I was having trouble finding it on your site. Do you, yourself, program? Or do you just know the ins and outs of what it is and how to speak about it? I’ve heard you speak about Computer Science in both of the two videos I’ve watched of yours so far.

THE GRAMMARS AND THEIR FRAMES
(important)
Theology readers, vs philosophy readers, vs literature readers, vs historians, vs biologists, vvs jurists, s economists, vs physicist, vs programmers, vs mathematicians.
Teach: Arts, Technologies, Economies, Laws, and Wars.
In other words DEMONSTRATED history, not REPORTED history. Or stated differently, theology, philosophy, literature, and history, are just as vulnerable to REPORTING BIAS as are the pseudosciences of metaphysics, psychology, sociology, and ‘political science’.
What’s the difference, and why have the pseudosciences (reportings) of the written word been so damaging compared to the law, sciences, logics, and mathematics?
Lack of agency.
Utility of coercion.
Utility of deceit.

ART ISN”T THAT HARD TO PRICE – IT’S HARD TO LIQUIDATE QUICKLY
—“…Value of art varies….”—
Hmmmm…. One can objectively compare art, particularly by triangulation. One can, with some skill, estimate its current market value by RANGE – dealers are relatively good at it. But doing so requires a rather great deal of knowledge of the pieces in the inventory whether on market or not. When talking of rarities (culturally, technically, or aesthetically significant pieces, or pieces from an artist), one has to understand the liquidity of customers and their incentives. Houses are less ridiculous, and more likely to take a loss, but follow the same general rules. Fashion less ridiculous than houses, but following the same general rules. Ergo, “All Stereotypes Are True”, “Class Stereotypes Are True”, “Taste Stereotypes Are True”, and one need only understand the relationship between Stereotype, Available Inventory, and Current Economic Conditions within that Stereotype. As in all economic questions, the more predictable the price range the lower the value of the service, commodity, product, item. Signal Value is Costly Regardless of Class.

CLOSE, BUT IT”S NOT JUST MATH, BUT ALGORITHMIC (OPERATIONAL).
—“My sense is that Curt is more mathematically and scientifically oriented than he is literarily oriented. His syntax is almost algebraic at times.”— Joel Harvey
That’s correct. I actually write in programmatic statements just like we write software. So
|PARADIGMS(GRAMMARS)| Fictional (inflationary) > Literary(Meaningful) > testimonial(descriptive) > Algorithmic (programmatic, operations) > Scientific (correlative, statistical) > Logical (sets) > Mathematical (units).
In fact, my writing looks almost identical to my pseudocode. I was taught in the era where we wrote pseudocode (outline in english) first to think through the logic, and in doing so write documentation, then to write the code itself (transactions). So yes, that is why you see what you see. And it is why I understood the possibility of algorithmic language of law…. So there you go. Like I said. The reason I was able to complete Hayek’s program i is because I was born AFTER Turing and hayek was born BEFORE Turing. Now if I could just explain to all Austrians that austrian econ is the LAW of Economics rather than economics proper, they would understand both their discipline and what I have done with it.

Economics tells us your market value.
