https://youtu.be/EHtvTGaPzF4ANSWERING A POMO CRITICISM OF HICKS’ POSTMODERNISM

By Curt Doolittle, The Propertarian Institute.

( REGARDING https://youtu.be/EHtvTGaPzF4 ) @[507283246:2048:Stephen Hicks]

1) Does this need a criticism? Sophism. Word as Real and Imagination as Primary, vs the parsimony of existence as real, and man slowly developing agency as he reframes his animal perceptions evolved at observable scale to correspondent consistent and coherent with reality at post human scales.

2) So, yet another an analysis of what he-said-she-said on the terms of their intentions, versus what they say contrast to the parsimony of consistent, correspondent, operational, rational choice, reciprocity, and coherence with reality. I am more articulate but that is his point.

3) And this use of “Critique” merely confirms HIcks’ proposition. It does not matter what one intends. Only (a) it’s correspondence and consistency with reality and (b) the incentives to produce that which is not. IOW: lost is that Reason, Empiricism, and Science are results of western LAW (tort) of sovereign men.

4) Whereas the sophisms of Postmodernism, like the sophisms of theology, rationalism, platonism and abrahamism whose methods it continues making excuses for a discontinuity with reality and naive motive, Law does the opposite enforcing continuity and identifying motive for fraud.

5) So reductively, the Sophists trees, versus the Legal forest.

6) Begging a FRAME of the speaker rather than the frame of reality to test him is merely another example of sophism in the forms of Pilpul(justificationism) and Critique (verbalism, shaming, rallying, gossiping, reputation destruction, straw manning and heaping undue praise.)

7) Hicks addresses the history of the evolution of thought. The more precise critique that amends Hicks, is a study of the methods of argument: reciprocity, law (tort), reason, empiricism, versus the sophist, literary and fictional. In other words, through the Law, POMO is FRAUD.

8) Liability. Is a Marx responsible for the 100M deaths in his name? Are the POMO’s responsible for the collapse of western civilization? Who is responsible for the gains of Legal-rational-scientific thought in the ancient world and the modern? Who is responsible for the suppression of legal-rational-scientific thought in the ancient world, and who replicates it in the modern? By the same means of collapsing the Roman empire these public intellectuals of pseudo rationalism are no different from priests of supernaturalism in the past.

9) So one trained in ‘literature’ and ‘literary philosophy’ and ‘theology’ using pilpul, idealism, and critique (FRAUD), is at odds with those who struggle incrementally to produce consistency, correspondence, operational language, rational choice,reciprocity with reality in LAW.

10) Which is what Hicks is referring to when he references ignoring other traditions being ignored. This is a polite way of calling POMO a revolution in literary fraud as an alternative to pseudoscientific fraud (marxism), as a an alternative to fraud by idealism(Platonism), and fraud by supernaturalism (abrahamism: pilpul and critique): the literature of the weak.

11) My work is specifically in the study of the evolution of fraud (fictional speech) in competition with the evolution of law (scientific speech). And moreover how the various sophisms and fictionalisms use suggestion and overloading to circumvent correspondence with reality.

12) Scientific thinkers are PROSECUTORS of ignorance, error, bias, fraud, and deceit. Literary thinkers are AUTHORS of fraud and deceit. And that, and the master-slave moralities each relies upon, describe all of intellectual history. The only question is whether POMO fraud exists by lack of agency (failure of due diligence), or by exercise of agency (criminality).

13) Law seeks to suppress lies. Literature to produce them. History, Economics, and Law describe man as he is – to prevent parasitism. Fictionalisms describe man as he is not to create opportunities for parasitism (Moral Hazard). And few writers, philosophers, and theologians in history would survive prosecution other than aristotle.

14) STUDY LAW NOT LIT. Science, Economics, Law, and History. The rest are just fictionalisms: Magic, Pseudoscience, Moral Fictionalism, Scripturalism, and Mythology.

Those of us with ancestors worth worshiping do so. Those without ancestors worth worshipping invented them. If you must invent fictions, that in of itself is evidence of the failure of your civilization.
