Critic (Female): “Curt, you always categorize everyone and everything.”
Curt: “It’s called measurement. All speech consists of measurements. The only question is the scale of the imprecision of the measurement, by ignorance, error, bias, and the various means of pretense and fraud. I make precise measurements. Some of us weigh similarities to overstate or understate the value of those measurements and some of us weigh differences to precisely state the value of those measurements.”

Steven, Measuring Violence Deltas doesn’t help us as much as measuring theft. With material goods replaced by title to fractional goods, we have simply devalued violence and increased the value of cunning, deceit, fraud, and conspiracy. Those men lived in a very different world.

It used to be worse: Between 1830 and 1860, there were 70 violent brawls between congressmen. https://t.co/rwTqICDTQt

What is measurable and what is not, favors the positivist. Although the counter proposition is the question, why does one have a right to the preservation of purchasing power of a currency at the expense of the goods available from its inflation?

@curtdoolittle @Lord_Keynes2 I find it odd that econ assumes that the gains of monetization and financialization outweigh the ills and risks, when the ability of mammon to transmit externalities without limit seems inherently dangerous. Perhaps there is a reason it was limited to the domain of Kings…

“Curt Doolittle: where does “morally consistent” fit into truth and meaning?”—
—“Curt Doolittle: where does “morally consistent” fit into truth and meaning?”— Scott Claremont
categorically consistent (properties)
Internally consistent (logical)
externally correspondent (empirical)
existentially consistent (operational)
rationally consistent (rational choice)
reciprocally consistent (reciprocity or “morality”)
scope consistent (stated limits and fully accounted)
and coherent (consistent cross all those dimensions)
reciprocal = moral. (or more precisely, irreciprocal = immoral, since anything not immoral is either amoral or moral)
These are not statements of proof, but tests of falsification.
The inclusion of rationality and reciprocity is necessary for falsification of the social sciences, and law and economics in particular.

—-“I have spent the last year really working on this, have broken it down into a system that explains, in granular detail, the factors that constitute agency, limit it, etc.. And this is why we the good guys are going to win. It can be assessed and enhanced in several ways, quickly. …. and remember – agency is not simply absolute but relative.
You work to build your own tribe’s agency but you also work to undermine and shackle your competitors. Catherine The Great’s “Pale of Settlement” was not designed to enhance the direct agency of her christian subjects but to limit the agency of the competitors. Think about that.” — James Santagata( via Brandon Hayes )
