    A LESSON IN ARGUMENT

    (your important thought of the day)

    Defeat inferior technology with superior technology. Or if you understand logic: no closed system is sufficient for proofs of that system. (if you have to ask, you won’t understand.)

    So that said, when debating:

    You don’t refute mysticism with mysticism but with reason.

    Not reason with reason but rationalism.

    Not rationalism with rationalism but empiricism.

    Not empiricism with empiricism but Testimonialism.

    Refutation requires the expansion of the scope of information and testing, and by restating ‘simpler’ arguments in ‘more precise’ arguments using that additional scope of information.

    Internal Contradiction does not falsify meaning.

    The purpose of meaning is to allow choices that produce consequences.

    Consequences do.

    You see. It’s possible. It’s possible if you have a solution. Because the people who are hooked on lies cannot defend themselves.

    What? You expect, as a NEWB, to jump into Propertarianism (Natural Law) like you do into some democratic-era ideology?

    Sorry kid. Not gonna happen. It’s pretty hard.

    If you were going to take another form of advanced mathematics, take a course in advanced programming, or take an advanced course in the writing of international laws, then you might have some idea of the work it takes.

    Most people lurk for three to six months, and it seems like the very smartest people need a year, and on average two or more years.

    So when I talk about religion you have no idea what I’m talking about.

    But like every other idiot you assume because you feel passionately about religion, or politics, or morality, that you have some understanding of it.

    Nope.

    Learn something. This is the most profound advancement in thought since empiricism. We completed the Enlightenment. Just deal with it.

    Natural law = Formal Logic + operational language and grammar + changes in state of capital + deconstruction of non-formal discourse into negotiations for changes in capital.

    It’s a combination of economics + finance + accounting + programming + law.

    1 – pre-rational expressive

    2 – pre-rational sentimental

    3 – pre-rational normative

    And I humiliate Pseudo-rationalism

    4 – Rationalism in place of ratio-empiricism.

    And especially:

    Using Mems and Music as substitutes for reason.

    I know. I know. You feel morally righteous. You love your rules. You love your fictions. You feel your convictions. You find great confidence in your convictions, rules, and fictions.

    I’ll tell you a secret socrates whispered, and one that all of us who are vastly smarter than you are all follow: we never feel confident, righteous, that we love or rules, or are full of conviction. All we know is that we have surveyed all the accumulated wisdom, knowledge, technology, and science of mankind and we know all the things that are false, lies, dangers.

    It is not that we know we are right. it is that we know the many ways of being wrong. And that is how we know you are wrong.

    Because so many people like you have been wrong for the same reasons for so many centuries.

    NO. A SINGLE LAW, MANY GODS, AND THE PROHIBITION ON LIES

    —A single god means a single law, which is not generally a bad good thing. God is no lie, god is a symbol.—Daniel Seis

    Nope. A single law and many gods appears to be a better solution if we look at history, because men differ in wants and abilities but natural law allows all to obtain them through cooperation.

    Slaves requires a single god. They are equal in their lack of everything.

    A division of perception, cognition, knowledge, labor, and advocacy requires gods for each of the divisions, subdivisions, and so on.

    There is only one law of the universe.

    The rest is just education in its application to niches.

    I would say that for many people, the supernatural is the maximum degree of rationalism possible, because it is the maximum criticism they are able to perform, with the maximum trust they are able to invest.

    morality remains constant across the spectrum of intelligence, but religiosity (abandonment of reason and calculation) increases as intelligence declines, and ethics (reliance on reason and calculation) increases as intelligence increases.

    The problem for christianity is the same problem with government. Instead of adding literatures (already extant), meaning history, and natural law, the church doubled down on mysticism.

    Natural law is enough. The teachings of Jesus (as few as they are) are reducible to natural law. There is no reason that the church does not teach the truth as a competitor to the lies of the state and the burghers.

    But the CHURCH CHOSE LIES. And that is why it dies.

    ***If you cannot speak truthfully and with warranty, you may not speak it in the commons. For the commons is not under your ownership. It is something we share. And we will not allow you to destroy the works of nature: land, water, air, or the works of man: life, capital, institutions, and information. And therefore we shall demand your warranty of information, just as we demand that of your services, products, and physical actions.***

    (When I worked on truth? Crickets. When When I work on politics, a few chirps. When I worked on morality, a small chorus. When I work on religion – omfg – a cacophony. Why? the cognitive few the pre-cognitive masses. What you intuit is meaningless. Truth and capital are measurements, not opinions.)
