  • Testimonial Grammar Defeats NPOV

    What if I started a wiki that required Testimonial (Operational) Grammar?  OMG.  NPOV would be destroyed in the social sciences.

  • Next, Coincidence-ism?

    The next evolution after operationalism will be something on the order of ‘coincidence-ism’, where we explore the emergent patterns that evolve from different sized sets of different sized constant relations. Mythology, Supernaturalism, Theology, philosophy, empiricism, science, operationalism, coincidence-ism, and that will lead us to some sort of macro-determinism.

    • 21stC: Fictionalism, Rationalism, Empiricism, Operationalism.

  • Information, Measurement, Negotiation

    Man as the measure of all things man Actually, the concept I am working on is whether we have everything backwards, and language consists entirely of measurements of different degrees of precision, and mathematics and operations are merely more precise measurements than we are familiar with speaking of. What does it mean to measure? Man is the unit of measure for all he measures. The limits of his existence, perception, action, and comprehension, provides him with units of measure. Measurements provide us with constant relations. All our other methods of measurement merely extend the constant relations provided by the limits constraining the existence, perception, action, and comprehension of man. This appears to be the correct model.

  • Because I work from the presumption of information as the model, and that Hayek

    Because I work from the presumption of information as the model, and that Hayek discovered this, and Popper partly discovered the means of working with it, and that Turing told us how to work with it, and that our founding fathers attempted to construct a constitution of natural law, but all of these people only partly succeeded, they are my influences, they key to which was provided me by Hoppe’s use of property as providing perfect commensurability (which I state reciprocity).

    All other philosophers I refer to, I do so to describe how our knowledge evolved despite their minor successes and major failures.

    I view philosophy as dead. A literature for those who cannot command a science.

    CUNNING SOLVES NOTHING IN TESTIMONY, ETHICS, MORALITY, AND POLITICS

    I try not to be ‘cunning’. I try to determine (a) what is true, and (b) what is the equivalent of true: objectively moral under the test of reciprocity. Every cunning can be met with an equal and opposite cunning and therefore is just an expression of taste. By contrast, true, moral, and possible can only be met by false, immoral, and impossible.
