  • Why Intellectuals Debate in Text Not Speech

    October 16th, 2018 1:36 PM WHY INTELLECTUALS DEBATE IN TEXT NOT SPEECH

    —“Let’s schedule a video call, and we can exhaust this without the unnecessary social incentives until I find out where I’m wrong, and I’ll leave you guys be in Aryan Propertyland.”—

    The Value of Text 1) leaves a record of the evolution of the argument, and the tactics used in pursuing it. 2) Sophisms, Signaling, and Frauds are much harder to get away with in text. 3) The chain of reasoning one can produce in text is more suitable to proof by falsification, whereas verbal reparté is more suitable to analogy and justification (fraud). 4) I do not care whether you continue to argue or depart, because articulate debate only serves to educate the followers – there is no chance that you can win such an argument – you just don’t know that yet. I do. You can only say “Lying is a strategic advantage if you can get enough people to do it without getting them killed in the process.” 5) I am now aware of you, just as you are aware of me. And I don’t practice philosophy but law. And prosecution of those who perpetuate harm against the commons is not only my job, my art but my moral duty. 6) You can use the pejorative ‘aryan’ as if aryan (law) vs semitic (religion) is some sort of dispute over taste rather than a dispute over truth and transcendence, vs lies and dysgenic regression. You’re reasonably talented but it’s too clear that you are used to confusing the tactic of winning by sophism against the common folk, and not experienced at such debate with professionals with the hard science of it all. Trying to repeat the past is simply an admission of the failure to solve the problems of the present. The problem of the present is the same as it has always been: the conflict between the agrarian-metalworkers using law and markets (Male reproductive strategy), and the pastoralists using cults, and separatism (the female reproductive strategy) Horse+bronze+wheel+sky-worshipping+Militaristic+expansionist vs earth worshipping, pacifist, separatists.The eternal war between Cain and Able: The Masculine vs the Feminine. This is the fourth cycle of that war of civilizations.

  • The Herd, (npcs) Resist All Measurements (commensurabilities)

    October 16th, 2018 10:52 AM

    THE HERD, (NPCs) RESIST ALL MEASUREMENTS (COMMENSURABILITIES) Resistance to personality, iq, class, race, and gender differences, is an NPC behavior (herd behavior) for obvious reasons- the pack requires a hierarchy to organize for the purpose of eugenic evolution (competition), but the herd rebels against it for the purpose of dysgenic (equalitarian) persistence.

  • Intelligence Testing and Neural Economy

    October 14th, 2018 8:53 AM INTELLIGENCE TESTING AND NEURAL ECONOMY [M]y understanding of the Analytic (external) to Empathic (internal) Spectrum of Grammars used in intelligence testing. || Raven’s(Patterns) < Math(Short term memory) < Logic < Vocabulary < Argument(Judgement) < Interpretation of Prose (Reading Comprehension). Like anything else, these tend to be gender biased if for no other reason than we train our brains by the route with the most available information to train our brains. Not complicated. Networks do what they do. Inputs determine categories, values, and relations. Neural plasticity exists, however, neural economies also exist. And like all things, we pay for one thing in lieu of paying for another. Now, I don’t believe in multiple intelligences simply because intelligence scales in concert across all abilities. But with that scaling we still encounter the difference between the vertical (analytic) male brain structure of specialization and horizontal (synthetic) female brain structure of generalization. Distributions in everything.

    Note:

    Grammars of ambiguation, each obscures calculation.

    Grammars of disambiguation clarify calculation and the boon being commensurability when available.

    Ambiguity-disambiguation provides commensurability across grammars – a quality measure of a grammar

  • IQ by Major (colleges Do Not Produce This Data on Purpose)

    October 12th, 2018 12:47 PM IQ BY MAJOR (COLLEGES DO NOT PRODUCE THIS DATA ON PURPOSE) [T]here are five different measures we use to answer this question: 1) the iq of high school students applying for university (we have their iq scores from standardized tests) 2) the sat scores of college students by major 3) the gre scores of grad students by major 4) the long term tracking of students from high school to life. 5) the lifetime performance of all degree holders by socio economic status. Most of these tests show volatility because 1) weschler is the best measure but only available in high school students, 2) mathematics appears to be the best functional test of intelligence at the high end, and ‘verbal ability’ was added to raise the measure of girls/women on tests, 3) the personality trait ‘industriousness’ is so influential on performance 4) sat scores test education, gre scores select upward, 5) colleges and universities vary vastly in the capability of students they attract and the difficulty of the major they provide. 6) smaller numbers of men go to college and tend to have higher abilities, and larger numbers of women go to college regardless of their abilities. 7) girls mature much earlier, and boys much later, so IQ stabilizes in adulthood (and any advances evaporate), and we have no means of IQ testing after 23 when this stabilization occurs other than lifetime performance. The numbers in the the OP reflect an effect which is well understood in the data: more women go to college than men by far now, and that lowers the score of women to the median because of regression to the mean at scale. Moreover, some degrees have a negative impact on lifetime earnings (social work, sociology, education). This is important for the simple reason that most published proxies for intelligence of gender and occupation use the number of degrees independent of major as a proxy for IQ which tends to vastly overstate or understand the biological intelligence, functional intelligence, of demographic areas. None of which is complicated. But the reminder needs to be out there constantly that this is how aggregates are produced.
