    is that true? Science falsifies not justifies. don’t scientists testify when they publish? And does philosophy not include science?

    lolz. Awesome. 🙂 But then we have the question of the demarcation between philosophy, science, and testimony – or is there one?

    ON MSG – MONOSODIUM GLUTAMATE

    (worth repeating)

    Now, you know, that ‘after lunch food coma’ is likely msg effecting you. That ravenous ‘this tastes good’ you get from snack, fast, and packaged foods, is almost certainly msg.

    For some percentage of us, the after lunch food coma puts us to sleep for 6-24 hours and the ‘confused’ or ‘food coma’ reaction lasts for three or more days.

    So, it affects all of us, but it affects all of us with different levels of intensity.

    For me, msg makes me confused, sleepy, … and agitated, and it doesn’t wear off for three to five days.

  • Definitions: Wisdom Literature, Theology, Ideology, Philosophy, Logic, Science, and Law.

    —“ A wisdom literature provides advice for decisions and choices within the limits of a group’s evolutionary strategy within a group using that evolutionary strategy. A Theology provides an authoritarian wisdom literature, by false promise and false threat, conflating wisdom and law between competing group evolutionary strategies. An ideology serves to inspire individuals to action under democracy. A philosophy provides methods of choice in order to achieve a desired state of affairs. A formal logic provides language and grammar for the testing (falsification) of the internal consistency of verbal relations. A science provides a formal process(logical and physical instrumentation) decidability for the elimination of ignorance, error, bias, and deceit from our claims. Strictly constructed Natural Law unite formal logic and formal science to provide decidability in matters of dispute. ”— Curt Doolittle, The Propertarian Institute, Kyiv, Ukraine.

  • BRAIN SIZE, PAEDOMORPHIC SELECTION, OR FASTER REPRODUCTION OF THE UNDERCLASSES?

    http://www.ancient-origins.net/news-evolution-human-origins/scientists-are-alarmed-shrinking-human-brain-001446SHRINKING BRAIN SIZE, PAEDOMORPHIC SELECTION, OR FASTER REPRODUCTION OF THE UNDERCLASSES?

    http://www.ancient-origins.net/news-evolution-human-origins/scientists-are-alarmed-shrinking-human-brain-001446

    Given that (a) yes, brain size makes a demonstrable difference in current human intelligence.

    And given that (b) it’s unclear whether our brains are getting smaller or whether more of the smaller humans are breeding in cities. (which appears to be the case since cities are genetic and IQ sinks).

    And given that (c) we have been selecting for immaturity for 10K years (paedomorphic selection).

    And given that (d) women generally possess superior verbal skills and weaker modeling skills despite smaller brains.

    I would hypothesize that all of the above are driving down AVERAGE brain size.

    I would suggest we will saw additional paedomorphic selection domestication up and until the period of ‘Peak Human’ which I suspect was around 1500 bc.

    And that at present we are seeing a rapid expansion of dysgenic classes, tilting the data dramatically.

    Unfortunately I suspect that the initial shift caused by the adoption of general rules (science) rather than rules of specific cases (recipes), as well as the reduction in the malnutrition at the bottom (left) of the curve, means that the downward shift in genetic IQ and brain size from underclass reproduction is being hidden by the Flynn effect. But in real terms, on average we are getting smaller, more verbal brains, and a lot more dumb people breeding.

  • Curt: Are You An Austrian? Well…Yes, But Let’s Clarify that a bit.

    CURT: ARE YOU AN AUSTRIAN? ( New Austrian School of Economics, Austrian Economics Rules ) I am Austrian in the sense that the Austrian program (Menger) sought to discover social science (Truth), the Chicago program sought to discover rule of law (bending truth), and the saltwater school sought to discover the limits of discretion (lying).

    I am Austrian in the sense that I cannot refute the theory of the business cycle as the formation and deformation of Sustainable Patterns of Specialization and Trade. I am Austrian in the sense that I understand mises discovered economic operationalism, but did not understand what he had found. But I am not Austrian in the sense that mises, rothbard, and Hoppe advocate economic pseudoscience: that economics is fully deducible. This is demonstrably false, logically false, and shows a complete lack of understanding of the difference between moral and legal justification (excuse making) and scientific investigation (discovery).
