    SO ARE YOU A PHILOSOPHER OR A SCIENTIST?

    —“So you are a philosopher and your hypothesis is that you have perfected the scientific method / empiricism?”— Rik Storey

    Hmmm …

    EMPIRICISM TESTS BUT ON DIMENSION OF REALITY

    1 – Empiricism is only one property of the scientific method, that only falsifies external correspondence.

    PHILOSOPHER OR SCIENTIST?

    2 – I do not know if I am a philosopher or a scientist who specializes in truthful speech. I do not know if the philosopher/scientist dichotomy exists any longer, or if sciences are now specialized disciplines for the discovery of truthful speech, and philosophy is reduced to the study of the decidability of preferences.

    HYPOTHESIS? COMPLETED MAX USE OF SCIENTIFIC METHOD

    3 – My hypothesis is that I have completed the scientific method within the dimensions of reality humans are capable of thinking and acting within.

    FUTURE CONSEQUENCES

    4 – My expectation is that invention will produce the same degree of progress as did the development of european common law of property, aristotelian reason, baconian empiricism, newtonian/darwinian/mengerian competition (falsification). And that it will allow us to both complete the eradication of the counter-revolution against reason by the Abrahamists, and assist us in transitioning to extremely mixed economies as we continue to reduce the demand for labor that produces multiples of returns on time, and continue to produce temporal increases in productivity using smaller and smaller numbers of people.

  • I am a scientist. The function of science is to eliminate ignorance, error, bias

    I am a scientist. The function of science is to eliminate ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion and obscurantism, fictionalism, and deceit from our speech. The fact that you have confidence in intuition and less so in reason, is merely because you lack the ability to reason and the knowledge required to.

    What you ‘believe’ is a measure of your stupidity : how much more evolution you require before converting from animal to human.

    if you choose various beliefs, you are merely choosing to demonstrate your lack of evolution.

    The question is whether humans continue to domesticate you, whether humans enslave you, or whether humans exterminate you. Since you animals cannot win against humans if we choose to enslave or exterminate you.

    The only alternative is cooperation under natural law. Under which you can believe what you wish as long as you do no harm to the commons with it.

    Which is nearly impossible.

  • FOR SCIENTISTS: UNDERSTANDING JORDAN PETERSON’S INNOVATIONS 1) SYNTHESIS OF LITE

    FOR SCIENTISTS: UNDERSTANDING JORDAN PETERSON’S INNOVATIONS

    1) SYNTHESIS OF LITERATURE, PSYCHOLOGY, AND BIOLOGY

    Peterson has identified the relationship between the monomyth>Archetypes>Plots>Virtues> Personality > Reward systems > Brain structure. So he has converted Jung’s loose (pseudo-scientific) assumptions into a scientific description and integrated it into literary theory.

    In other words, he has found that by use of transformational (monomyth) narratives we circumvent the near impossibility of direct self-reflection, and learn, correct, and relearn by empathy with third party ‘characters’ instead – thereby using mirroring (empathy) to circumvent the challenges of self reflection.

    2) RESTORATION AND EXPRESSION OF STOICISM IS SCIENTIFIC TERMS

    He has taken it further into restoring our natural european religion of Stoicism by suggesting that we can use myth, literature, and self-authoring to accomplish the mindfulness of stoicism, and abandon the abrahamic superstitions that result in ignorance and decline, without moving into buddhism or other forms of ritual. That means only Stoicism produces a mindfulness of *innovation* (adaptation) of the self through action, rather than through disconnection.

    3) REFORMATION OF THERAPY(Error Correction), EDUCATION (Market Skills), AND RELIGION (Normative Discipline)

    The restoration of the stoic program and the use of literature would allow us to reform religion (trainning in the extension of kinship love, training in mindfulness, restoration of natural holidays and heroes), Education (teaching mindfulness as another ordinary discipline like vocabulary and grammar, reading, essay and argument (logic and rhetoric), measurement and mathematics).

    DEFLATING THE CENTRAL INNOVATION IN CHRISTIANITY

    Christianity trains people in only one thing: the extension of kinship love outside of immediate kin to ‘invest in’ (purchase) cooperation that otherwise would not be possible to acquire. But so does the simple imposition of common law, and the development of a middle class by commerce. In that sense, christianity (like judaism, and islam) is a primitive method of cooperation using charity and virtue signals rather than commercial interaction and material reward seeking to build trust in one another.

    THE INTEGRATION OF CHRISTIANITY AND WESTERN DEFLATIONARY TRUTH

    The uniqueness of the west is that we combined deflationary truth, deflationary institutions, and continuous competition ALONG WITH extension of kinship love. And it was that combination that allowed us to both unify in cooperation and remain separate in government and institutions.

  • WHERE DO WE FIND KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH? (great important question for those fooled

    WHERE DO WE FIND KNOWLEDGE OF TRUTH?

    (great important question for those fooled by rationalism)

    —“Where do you get your knowledge about truth If the senses cannot be relied on? All knowledge, including ideas (ideal), wishful (desireable, derived from feelings of pleasure and pain) are ultimately formed on the information derived from sense-organs. If you exclude what is derived from senses, than what remains to be calculated?”— Domagoj Vaci

    by Curt Doolittle

    || Senses > perceptions > experiences > memories(episodes) > products of reasoning(episodic modeling) > knowledge(survived modeling) > memories of the use of knowledge(survived actions – hypothesis) > memories of the consequences of the use of knowledge(survived consequences – theories) > memories of the class of consequences of the use of classes of knowledge(survived broadly – laws).

    Emotions reflect changes in state of that which we seek to acquire or have acquired, or have acquired and invested. Acquisition is the cause of the prey drive. The prey drive consists of stages. Each stage of the prey drive corresponds to one of our endocrinological reward(punishment) systems. The variations in our personalities are due to variation in the sensitivity and productivity of our endocrinological reward systems.

    || Acquisition > Prey Drive > Reward Systems > Variations > Personality (biases)

    We only obtain hypotheses from perception. We obtain theories from the record of our actions, and we obtain ‘laws’ from the categorical record of our actions.

    || Free association > hypothesis > theory > Law > Metaphysical Value judgements.

    So the question “where do we obtain knowledge of truth if not from our senses” is a common fallacy created out of the German (Kantian) counter-enlightenment. We obtain ideas from the mixing of our senses with our memories and instincts to acquire (avoid loss). We obtain incremental knowledge of success from the survival of our actions that test those free associations. We obtain incremental knowledge of truth from attempts to falsify those free associations by intent rather than waiting for failure.

    We only can develop hypotheses from free association, and only in certain special simple cases, can we identify confident deductions from them – what we call the “a priori” in counter-englightenment prose. But, while the average well intentioned fool uses the term “a priori” without understanding it, there is no such *CASE* as an ‘a priori’, alone, only the following CATEGORIES of a priori statements. In other words, the a priori tells us nothing other than we have identified an opportunity to learn a truth candidate at a discount.

    (a) Analytic A Priori: tautological: 2+2=4 and all deductions thereof.

    (b) Necessary Synthetic A Priori: “Childless women will have no

    (c) Synthetic A Priori : Increasing money increases inflation.

    grandchildren.”

    (d) Contingent Synthetic A Priori: “all other things being equal, as a general trend, increasing demand will increase supply, although we cannot know the composition of that supply in advance, we can identify it from recorded evidence.”

    This produces a an ordered spectrum of declining precision:

    (a) Identity(categorical consistency) – Analytic A Priori

    (b) Logical:(internal consistency) – Nec. Synthetic a priori

    (c) Empirical: (external consistency) – Gen. Synth. a priori

    (d) Existential: (operational consistency) – Cont. Synth. a priori

    The set of which must always go through the cycle of:

    || Free association > hypothesis > theory > law > metaphysical assumption.

    In other words, it must survive increasing markets for falsification.

    The elegance of the peterson cult is he can make myth say whatever he wants, and circumvent suspension of disbelief if he spoke scientifically. This is why religino works. And it’s why I don’t like including religious works, and want to limit our analysis to myth and literature. Because the ‘interpreter’ can suggest truth or false good or bad – and that’s what they do: suggest bad.

    MARXISM PROVIDES PSEUDOSCIENCE FOR MORONS JUST AS CHRISTIANITY PROVIDED PSEUDO-PHILOSOPHY FOR MORONS

    Marxist economics is a pseudoscientific restatement of history that includes the fallacy of the labor theory of value, the fallacy that labor has value in relation to organization by the use of incentives, the fallacy of equality of value of individuals to mankind or to one another, the fallacy of oppression of the good rather than domestication of the bad, the fallacy of dunning kruger competence of the laboring and underclasses, and the predictive fallacy of both underclass revolution and capitalist failure. In fact, it is equality, democracy, socialism, and communism that has failed, and it is boazian anthropology, marxist economics and sociology, freudian psychology, frankfurt ethics, and cantorian mathematics that have proven pseudoscientific and false.

    Scientific morality: reciprocity and gentle eugenics by use meritocracy to suppress reproduction produces continuous increases in condition, prosperity, eugenics and agency.

    Everything else is both false, lying, and harmful.

    I think, to preserve truth, we must distinguish between:

    1 – Scientists (physical scientists) and;

    2 – Pseudoscientists ( psychological, social, economic, and; political pseudoscientists),

    3 – Pseudo-rationalists ( moral fictionalists, philosophers ) and;

    4 – Mystics (theologians, occultists);

    What I’m trying to create is ‘testimonialists’ : the science of truthful speech. Which will end the lies of 2,3, and 4

    (worth repeating)

    —“When we verify through testing by our best empirical methods, our arguments gain credibility from *reality*. When we assert based on a-priorisms which can not be found in reality we use logic to “steal credibility from reality” – we assert it as reality without consulting reality- a transfer of credibility from existence in reality, to the subjective untestable, invisible, personal opinion.”— Bill Joslin

    THE PROSECUTOR BAITS THE PURVEYORS OF FRAUD

    The difference is that I do what I do to bait idiots, so that I can defraud them, just like scientists debunk supernaturalists. And Dyer is one of those frauds who has found a market for fulfilling demand for denial of reality. But once a person has descended into conflating reason and intuition in order to circumvent reason and existence (science) then the strategy of denialism (postmodernism, kantian rationalism, and abraham) has been played. The purpose of denialism, pseudo-rationalism, and experientialism, in all its forms is merely rejection of reason and reality so that the inferior need not negotiate a compromise with the superior. That’s all it is. Nothing more. An elaborate verbal deception for the purpose of leaving no option for compromise, and therefore no options but separatism and violence. You cannot enter into an exchange with a dishonest man. And all debate and discourse is either honest or not. If not honest then the only options are boycott and violence.

    I’m building an inquisition against Abrahamism in all its forms.
