    I’ll repeat this in case it’s lost **The West developed faster than the rest in both ancient and modern worlds, because we speak the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, regardless of its impact on the dominance (status) hierarchy.** That is the Secret of the West.

    @sapinker If one’s style and philosophy matter then it is not truth we espouse, but deception. If we can end the century of 1/2 truths with devastating externalities that would be better than to continue the course that is breeding civil war and the filling of power vacuums by other means.

    I’m often compared to Peterson–Canadian psychologist, Harvard prof, P in-C, takes evolution seriously–but our styles and philosophies couldn’t be more different. We’ll explore them in a dialogue at some point soon.

    2 – … the contractualist rules by truth and reciprocity. The authoritarian rules by command out of pragmatism. The Gossiping (talking) Caste rule by pitting sides against one another: the female strategy of limiting influence of alphas by rallying women and betas against them.

    Closing) In all things, the truth, (categorically consistent, internally consistent, externally correspondent, operationally possible, a rational choice, reciprocity, fully accounting) is provided by the difference produced by competition – not justification. @jordanbpeterson

    6) Arts, Poetry, literature, and Wisdom Lit, are only via positiva means of providing the mind opportunity within the bounds of truth and law. Wester civ has a philosophy: the common law of reciprocity under sovereignty. Wisdom lit is just our religious mythos. @jordanbpeterson

    MATHINESS, SCIENTISM, AND IDEALISM vs OPERATIONALISM

    Many people here scientism or mathiness and hear profundity. I hear a pseudoscientific priesthood talking just like you hear theologians or rationalists (or continental philosophers) speaking.

    Mathiness is actually the origin of the failing of western philosophy until the stoics. Pythagoras, Aristotle, Zeno’s genius was undermined by Plato’s catastrophe and Augustine and Pauls’ crime against western civilization, and abraham and muhammad’s transformation of persian and egyptian mythology into a false history and immoral laws – a crime against humanity. Unequalled until Rousseau, Kant, Boaz, Marx, Freud, cantor, mises, rothbard, and Strauss all repeated the process of fictionalism – this time in pseudoscientific, pseudo rational(philosophical), and pseudo historical prose.

    I spend most of my time criticizing economics as a means of restoring empirical law.

    But yesterday I happened across an interesting bit of ‘scientism’ that was ‘scienticsm’ rather than science, because it is dependent upon mathiness.

    Most of what I see in physics today, and most of what I see in frankly all the sciences, whenever someone explains relationships rather than explains transformations – is mathiness.

    Idealism, mathiness, scientism are all failures to speak in the language of truth:

    Operations.

    5) And while I’ll defend your understanding of the science to the end, your fascination with the program of Plato, the Rabbis, Augustine, Kant/Hume, and the Continentals despite not being means of calculation, but suggestion open to deception is regressive. @jordanbpeterson

    3) Hence why wisdom literature of which you are enamored by correlation with the truth, but which is open to falsehood, differs so much from calculation that limits us to truth, and is closed to those falsehoods. The Abrahamic, Platonic and Continentals failed. @jordanbpeterson
