  • Yes We Need Order Rather than Chaos

    (from Gab)

    —“Jefferson? We don’t need freedom, we need order”– @alternative_right

    [Y]es, but what order?

    1. Order of Truth, Science, Law and productive cooperation? (Rule of Law – Competition between men under the law of reciprocity.)

    2. Or order of Lies, Supernaturalism, Scripture and Parasitism – Rule by men? (Rule by Church Men – Priests)

    3. Or order of Fraud, Pseudoscience, Sophism and Parasitism – rule by men? (Rule by Dishonest Men – “You Know Who”)

    4. Or order of Force, Command, Whim, and Parasitism – rule by man? (Rule by Forceful Men – Military )

    Let me explain Jefferson’s context. 1. The Aristocratic order (taxation force), 2. The Priestly Order(lies, obedience and Tithes) and 3. The Commercial order (truth, tort, and trade). His understanding was natural law Natural law by rule of law. Rule of law producing a commercial order. A commercial order is a voluntary order. An order of meritocracy. Meritocracy meaning Natural Aristocracy. We haven’t replaced it with socializing. We’ve replaced it with DISORDER. We can have our order but we cannot have it by the simple means you intuit. Rules must exist, and rules free of human ‘discretion’ because in the end all human discretion ‘swims left’. Jefferson was (correctly) trying to create a THIRD WAY, free of the parasitism of the state and church – who were both tremendous parasites that kept our people in ignorance and poverty. The Enemy can bed defeated by law and prosecution without planting the seeds of another enemy. The natural law is the best civic religion ever invented by man. The natural law, the stoic method, and the Epicurean goals are the optimum personal religion. The Five Rules of Christianity, if limited to Kin, are the optimum method of producing harmony. The only cost one bears under the natural law is christian forgiveness. And Aryan Intolerance. Every Man a Sheriff.

  • Hippocampal, Entorhinal, and Cortical Data Structures

      Well it’s… we have enough info now. The nobel was awarded for good reason. now we know how the brain matches all these fragments together into a coherent experience. Just like 3d computer games really: A very interesting sort of Geometry. Identity Provisioning – Rapid Neural Maturity (or genesis) – Unique Sequences Position – Location And Routes (Paths) – Objects – Spaces (grid) – Auto Associations (memories) Movement – Speed, – Distance – Time Orientation – Direction of movement In Environment, – Direction Of Turn, – Head Direction – Eye Direction State – Recursion (18-30 seconds) State Change – Various recursive information time spans. – (Backpropagation) Really. And what scares me is how little brain volume it takes to do all that

    AHMED REDA SAYS IT BEST

    —“A Propertarian is expected to (and must) use Mathematics (as a universal language of measurement), Science (as a universal language of testimony), Law and Economics (as a universal language of decidability), Natural history (as a universal language of evidence), Literature (as a universal language of meaning) and Mindfulness (as the means of preventing addictions). And a Propertarian is expected to (and must) demonstrate Agency in pursuit of political power, instead of fantasizing about it.”—Ahmed Reda

  • Mathematicians Can Be Stupid, Too

    —“More evidence that mathematicians can be stupid, too”–Claire Lehmann @clairlemon ….”(Renowned Yale Computer Science Prof Leaves Darwinism | The Stream David Gelernter recently published an essay in the Claremont Review of Books explaining why he no longer believes Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution.)”…

    Curt Replies: There is a great deal of woo woo in Mathematics – mathematical platonism, mathematical idealism, cantorian multiple infinities, many worlds, proof being positiva rather than negativa, the terms, labels, and symbolism all create nonsense. Mathematics is the most simple of the logics, the logic of positional names. The greeks did everything with geometry. There is a good reason. Measurements (real) vs Language (ideal). And we’re stuck with the consequences of treating math as a language – where nonsense can be said. I write about this subject quite a bit because there are two origins to pervasive sophism in western civilization, regardless of field: mathematical idealism, and scriptural interpretation. Both of which stem from the same error. There is a moronic bit of innumeracy going around ‘intelligent design’ circles right now and he’s bit apparently taken the bait. The answer to their query is: evolutionary progress includes loss of intermediary information: it’s hard to reverse engineer cellular evolution.

    EVOLUTION VS INTELLIGENT DESIGN (core)

    —“Are you saying you support Darwanism over Christianity or intelligent design?”—Mark E. Haney

    1 – I cannot falsify evolution and every single evidence from the fundamental structure of the universe to the imagination of man is a product of a very small number of possibilities in very great permutation, just as limited numbers of sounds, characters, and numbers can be arranged in infinitely complex permutations. 2 – The five rules of christianity are, logically, rationally(incentives), scientifically(empirically) the optimum prisoner’s dilemma (trust building) strategy, and I cannot falsify either or their relation. There is a reason christians are wealthier than competing cults. 3 – Information can only be stored in some memory or other, information stored must be abstracted (generalized) in order to consume less calories and volume that the original matter and its changes in state over time. I cannot falsify that statement – it’s a physical and logical impossibility. As to what I ‘Support’: I support truthful speech. Truthful speech can only consist of what I can testify to. I can only testify to that which is: – categorically consistent – Logically consistent – empirically(observably) consistent – operationally consistent – rationally consistent – reciprocally consistent where – parsimonious – scope consistent – and fully accounted – within stated limits and where – due diligence has been demonstrated, and where – one’s statements are warrantied by restitution if one errs. I cannot testify to anything other than. 1. Realism, 2. Naturalism, 3. Operationalism Nor can anyone else.
