  • ( Thinking about how the universe, and the structure of the universe isn’t somet

    ( Thinking about how the universe, and the structure of the universe isn’t something ‘out there’ bigger than we are and imperceptible to us, or here, in our solids, liquids, gasses, plasmas and spaces that is perceptible to us. And that it’s just a vast web of these very small geometric phenomenon that through attraction and resistance create spaces of different sizes with different fields, and that its all winking and twinking and twirling and spinning and that …. and I’t just. I just dont’ wanna go there. I mean, although, the fact that everything is connected by fields within fields, is sort of beautiful and in some way I feel the universe is less alien, that does not make me feel any better given how hostile the universe is to us, and how hard we must work to make spaces for ourselves, that we can survive within. And our rather short experience as creatures of reason, capable of transforming this world, is amounts to nothing in the tempo of the universe.)

    We use science (measures), operations (recipes), meaning (analogies), and occult (dreams) to communicate. What’s Least Bad? What’s Worst?

    Um. I watched it. He has confused science (Measurement) literature (Meaning) and Occult (Dreaming), and ignored externalities to the latter. https://twitter.com/ThePlatonicChad/status/870093182838636546

  • Why Are So Few Scientists Libertarian? Is There An Element Of Government Funding That Has Been Indispensable For The Advances In Science We Have Seen Since The Last Century?

    Have you noticed how few intellectuals are libertarians? Have you noticed that oddly, all books on libertarianism are entry level, and none of them advanced?

    Libertarianism had an early flowering in the sixties and seventies. But by the 80s almost all had abandoned it, and at present only the few people associated with the Mises Institute’s pseudoscientific propaganda remain. The reason being that it’s a dead end.

    The general intellectual progress through the ideologies is Classical Liberal (Hayek/Haslitt) > Libertarian (Rothbard) > Anarcho Capitalist (Hoppe) > Dark Enlightenment (Mencius) > Propertarianism (Strictly Constructed Natural Law Classical Liberalism)

  • “You’re a Pagan?”— Dave Martel In the sense that (a) man has invented many god

    —“You’re a Pagan?”— Dave Martel

    In the sense that (a) man has invented many gods, and (b) there is one small set of laws (operations) governing the existential universe, then yes, I am a Pagan. In the sense that I and mine are from the warrior and merchant classes for over a thousand years, and place those value above those of christianity, I am a pagan.

    In the sense that (c) I practice heavy investment in trust and forgiveness, (d) I pray only to one god, (e) I pray contemplatively, I am a christian. In the sense that we try to extend kinship love (forgiveness) to non-kin by extraordinary risk taking and forgiveness, I am decidedly christian. This is why christianity creates prosperity where it goes and islam poverty and judaism parasitism. We can separate these religions by which interpersonal relation with outgroups that they foster.

    Western civilization has always been both pagan and christian, and has practiced deflationary aesthetics, theology, philosophy, law, and science.

    I am a pagan, and a christian, because all of us are pagans by that measure. If we were not pagans we would conflate these disciplines as do the jews and the muslims.

  • Um. Listen. All freudian psychology is pseudoscience. Ok? So you don’t use words

    Um. Listen. All freudian psychology is pseudoscience. Ok? So you don’t use words like ‘Ego’. Or any other term. We have new terms that are a little better now.

    I’m converting those terms into Acquisitionism, and I’ve already converted moral terms into Acquisitionism and Propertarianism.

    So someday soon we will have the propertarian equivalent of psychology. In the meantime, you can simply state what the person wants to acquire, and how it affects some sort of capital, and the inaccuracy of that person’s status.

    Most of what we see in psychology is something to do with status signals (dominance hierarchy whether female or male) and the discipline or lack of discipline in controlling our reaction to the correspondence or lack of correspondence between (a) reality, (b) self image, (b) retention of real or perceived gains. (loss aversion).

  • What people have lifted mankind out of superstition, ignorance, poverty, starvat

    What people have lifted mankind out of superstition, ignorance, poverty, starvation, and disease in the ancient and modern world, and what people have devolved into superstition, stagnation, and dysgenia in the ancient, medieval, and modern worlds?

    That’s the evidence you need. That’s the empirical evidence.
