  • Laying Down the Law on Social Pseudoscience

    @KennethBuff @sapinker People vote POWER given the CONDITIONS of competition. That’s why Democracy works for selecting priorities in a homogenous polity but not choosing differences in a heterogeneous polity, and why there is so much friction between American ‘tribes’. Any time we state an incomplete premise we feed discord by supplying bias confirmation by doing the cherry picking for them. He (Steve) stated an incomplete premise in order to feed the confirmation bias of a majority faction – not the Truth. (Hence the legal requirement for “The Whole Truth and Nothing but the Truth”) What the NYT article referred to conveys is that virtue signaling is a form of conspicuous consumption that one forces others to pay the indirect cost of. (Theft by Fraud) Or stated directly: we are burning the most valuable form of capital in the world (homogeneity and high trust) for virtue signals, in order to obtain political power. If you cannot make a statement in social science using economic terms, then either you don’t know what you’re talking about, or you are engaged in selection bias, or worse, deception. Hence the rise of “Economic Imperialism” in the Academy as a counter to social pseudoscience.

    THE DEMAND FOR A MONOPOLY ON VIOLENCE

    —“Even a truth by testimony will not defend against a falsehood by sophistry for the emotional and mentally ill equipped. Thus the necessity for the monopoly on violence.”—Brandon Smith

  • Earning Sufferage

    I wonder…. let’s say military service of six years, ownership of real property, and a wife are required for male suffrage, and three children, a husband, and real property are required for female suffrage. With suffrage comes a substantial discount in fees (taxation), and a substantial increase in insurance (retirement insurance), and that all such insurance accounts are in the singapore model as retirement savings accounts. There is no community property. Children are women’s property until onset of puberty, then males are men’s property until maturity. A family (corporation) insures society against the behavior of their offspring until they also have families. Schools are only until working age (12/puberty), and after that apprenticeships combined with related classes, for two hours a day.
    This basically institutionalizes the late medieval upper middle class model. What happens?

    —“When it comes to theological contests, usually the most intolerant wins – it is not a contest of ideas or even numbers.”—Aaron Kahland  The Law: Transcendence by Sovereignty, Truth, Reciprocity, Markets in Everything. (“The OODA Loop Civilization”) Truth is the most intolerant cult of all. 😉
