    All talk of principles are lies – frauds. And that the only measure of the truth or falsehood, good or bad, morality or immorality is the full accounting of the consequences of an action. It is an inescapable irony of libertine thought that on one had one uses the broken window parable to illustrate the necessity of accounting for all costs, then on the other hand to rely upon ‘ principles’ the very purpose of which is to circumvent the requirement for the full accounting of costs. It’s this form of selective lying that permeates all libertine (rothbardian) thought.

    There is a difference between a cost of entry into a religion and the content of the falsehoods in the religion. Many cults do not ask us to pay physical costs, but to deny reality as the cost of entry.

    In fact, is that not the entire premise of the monotheistic religions? The price of entry is faith in falsehood? A cost of non-correspondence with reality? The signal of trustworthiness to others is the likewise denial? The shared lie?

    There exist amazing cults (stoicism), questionable cults (Buddhism), ignorance creating cults (Christianity and Islam), immorality creating cults (Judaism), and even worse cults that teach even worse lies.

    There is no need for lies. History, myth, man, and nature are beauty enough and wonder enough without the need for lies.

    Ideas are like gravity: they create a direction, a ‘down’, a ‘premise’. But unlike gravity, with words we can invert direction and premise.

    Benefit and Loss are absolutes. Good and Evil are absolutes. Preference is relative. That we use the authoritarian terms good and evil to lie about our preferences is just another form of fraud.

  • Epistemology is a Simple Thing (Really)

    (propertarianism) (core)Recipes describe actionable knowledge that we can use to transform state.

    Theories describe an Opportunity Field. There exists only one epistemological method for the discovery of recipes and theories: – Observation->perception, – Free association-> wayfinding, – Hypothesis->construction, – Theory->survival from criticism, – Law->survival in the market for criticism, – Habituation -> survival, – Metaphysical inclusion -> replication. Within this method we find special cases of the epistemological method: non-contradiction, apriorisms, simplicity – in the same way we discover special cases of prime numbers – and for the same reason: coincidence of simplicities amidst the chaos of possibilities. But we eventually run low on simplicities at any given level of precision, and must develop new logical and physical and moral instrumentation in order to obtain sufficient information to discover more simplicities at greater precision. All the while defending against our tendencies to engage in error, bias,wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism, pseudoscience, pseudorationalism, pseudo-moralism, and deceit. To warranty our speech against the dark forces of error, bias, and deceit, we can test each existentially possible dimension – in which humans can act – against error, bias, and deceit. – Categorical Consistency – identity – Logical Consistency – internal correspondence – Empirical Consistency – external correspondence – Existential Consistency – operational correspondence – Moral Consistency – reciprocal correspondence – Scope Consistency – full accounting – dimensional correspondence. This process constitutes the completion of the scientific method for the warranty of due diligence of one’s testimony in every domain of human inquiry without exception.
