    CURT: “WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THE EVOLUTION OF WEIGHTS AND MEASURES? MAN AS THE MEASURE OF ALL THINGS TO MAN? OR VITRUVIANISM?”

    I’m trying to draw attention to the rather obvious progress of our minds and words as measurements that begin with what’s available to us at birth, and what we evolved over the millennia to COMPENSATE for the lack of precision in the measurements of our birth. šŸ˜‰

    EVOLUTION:
    Existential Reality
    Nervous System (sensing vibrations – change)
    Embodiment (human subjectively testable weights and measures)
    Anthropomorphism (applied human weights and measures)
    Mythology (Lessons by suggestion)
    Religion (Standards of weights and measures)
    Dialectic (agreement (not truth))
    Laws (Standards of Weights and Measures)
    Testimony (Truth (not agreement))
    Reason (Adversarialism, Sets)
    Philosophy (Plato, Idealism, Analogies, Abstractions)
    Natural Philosophy (Observations)
    History (Evidence)
    Empiricism (measurements)
    Science (mathematics)
    Evolutionary Computation (computation)
    Simulation (Simulation by evolutionary competition)
    Existential Reality (identity)
    And… We’re done.

    I can’t help you if you want to chase pseudoscience.
    The fact that previous generations were less precise doesn’t mean that they were wrong. The fact that you’d chastize me for literacy while promoting a pseudoscientific conspiracy theory is enough evidence of our differences. Iā€¦

    That’s just false. Encyclopedias were successful at proposing information in the context of ‘neutral point of view’ which we now understand as ‘legal and empirical’ point of view: testimony.

    Even as such, for example, in the sciences, were the previous generations of the theory of gravity wrong? Or are we just increasing the precision of the cause and measurement of gravity over time.

    If you mean psychological and social and political grounds, it turns out that the postwar mass production of behavioral pseudoscience in pursuit of marxist pretenses of equality, then almost all social science prior to 1925 is superior to that since outside of a few innovations produced by cognitive science since 2000.

    If you mean economics, then no, it’s pretty clear that pre-war economists understood both behavior and economics better than postwar. This is partly because they saw the globalization of the 1800s without the politicization of economics in response to the communists, socialists, and fascists. Or, the Keynesian’s for that matter.

    Until about 2003 I could read the entire technical corups Microsoft and it’s competitors published on CD every year. At present I can still read all the meaningful papers in economics, the cognitive sciences, and physics. Nothing is coming out of law at all of merit. The behavioral social and political sciences are humiliating and intellectually embarrassing.

    And Wikipedia is as biased as the Catholic and Marxist encyclopedias, or any of the religious laws.

    I don’t hold philosophical but scientific positions. This means man adapts to circumstances, because humans evolved to specialize in adaptation itself, by conversion from biological to cognitive adaptation as primary means of adaptation.

    So man is pragmatic and amoral, with immoral and moral merely utilities.

    In the sense of natural law, I use it’s scientific, legal, and economic context, of the law of cooperation (and non cooperation). And as such it’s a continuation of the laws of the physical world, with the addition of the potential to choose cases of cooperation or not – but not the necessity of cooperation in at least most cases.

    You haven’t done any linguistic analysis of text, nor do you grasp why controlled conditions are the reason for non-reproducibility. Economists know this and econ training seeks ‘demonstrated’ rather than ‘constructed’ behavior. So this is why social media is the ultimate research tool. Volumes of data, where especially on twitter, the activity consists largely of moral outrage generation, which in turn, provides the most accurate measure of unbiased behavior.

    The disinformation is from the left you silly person.
    The entire postwar leftist project is an attempt to deny darwin and the darwinian explanation of all existence from the quantum background to the ideas in the human mind.

  • THE “SCIENCE” OF SCOTT ADAMS’ HYPERBOLE Scott Adams’ (@ScottAdamsSays ) hyperbol

    THE “SCIENCE” OF SCOTT ADAMS’ HYPERBOLE
    Scott Adams’ (@ScottAdamsSays ) hyperbole on the race question was obvious to anyone who uses hyperbole to illustrate a point that requires the combination of scaling, time, and inverse logic.

    The problem is, that inverse (negative) logic is the first capacity humans lose as IQ declines below 105. And it’s ‘gone’ by around 90. The same for ‘auto-scaling’ using hyperbole: “what if everyone did this all the time over time.” And that declines to literal interpretation by the same scale. Masculine cognitive bias provides a scale advantage, and Feminine cognitive bias (empathizing) provides a scale disadvantage. (FWIW: our current AI’s still can’t do inverse logic. Not possible.)

    Feminine and Leftists are ‘simple’, ’empathizing’, and ‘literal’. Meaning short-term experiential thinking. And Masculine and Conservatives use hyperbole for long-term systemic thinking.

    Men can at least vaguely understand leftist (feminine) men and women, but leftist (feminine) men and women cannot understand conservatives.

    It’s not complicated. It’s pretty well covered in the scientific literature. Even the difference between how men do math as models and women do math as pictures. This is the origin of our cognitive emotional ethical and moral differences: sex.
