  • 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.

    NO. SCIENCE IS A MORAL DISCIPLINE WITHIN NATURAL LAW: THE MEANS BY WHICH WE WARRANT THE TRUTHFULNESS OF OUR STATEMENTS.

    (Ethelbert, Jesus, and Kant say the same thing)

    The languages of science(testimony), physical science, propertarianism (social science), natural law (science of dispute resolution), accounting, finance, and economics, (measurement of production), function as the universal language of truth-telling.

    The discipline of science asks us to warranty that we have performed due diligence on our statements. We warranty that we have eliminated error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism, pseudoscience, and deceit from our utterances.

    That’s what science is:

    A NATURAL LAW: a warranty of our information, just like the warranty of our services, just as the warranty of our products, just as the warranty of our speech.

    Period. End of story.

    I know. You thought you were smart. You were so proud that you had transcended superstition. But it never occurred to you that you were just as ridiculous in the present generation due to the pseudosciences of Marx, Freud, Boaz, Adorno than your superstitious ancestors were in the pseudoscience of theology.

    Ok. Have we got that straight? Look in the mirror. Repeat after me: “I was suckered by pseudoscience, just like my ancestors were suckered by superstition. I am a sucker. I pledge not to be a sucker any longer. There is only one moral rule in both silver(negative) and gold (positive) forms: Impose not cost upon the cost born by others, by limiting yourself to actions and words, consisting only of productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary transfer, limited to productive externalities.

    Ethelbert (Anglo-Saxon Silver Rule), Jesus (Golden-Rule), and Kant (bi-metal rule), all said the same thing. Everything else is lies to justify theft and to circumvent voluntary transfers between individuals classes and groups.

    Ok. We’re done here.

  • DECREASING THE ERROR, BIAS, AND DECEIT, TO IDENTIFY CHEAPLY OPPORTUNITIES TO SEI

    DECREASING THE ERROR, BIAS, AND DECEIT, TO IDENTIFY CHEAPLY OPPORTUNITIES TO SEIZE

    The political questions we face are very different if we seek to eliminate error, bias, and deceit, rather than if we seek to identify optimums by which to obtain discounts. People will sieze the discounts no matter what. the problem is in decreasing the error, bias, and deciet, so that those opportunities are more readily visible. It’s not that we should ignore error bias and deceit so we must constantly thrash through them to find the opportunities amidst the clutter.

    YOU WANT ME TO SAY SOMETHING BOTH OFFENSIVE AND TRUE?

    You want me to say something offensive? Ok. How’s this: what’s a greater crime? The holocaust (the forcible deportation to of a gypsies, jews, and other non-conformists) or the inventions of the infantilizing lies of the Abrahamic religions and Cosmopolitan pseudoscience? (Boaz, Marx, Freud, Cantor, Mises, Adorno+Co, Rothbard/Rand, Straussian Neo-Conservatism, Feminism, Postmodernism, and “Political Correctness”?)

    What has caused more harm to mankind? It’s not even worth discussing. And after the west rescues the disenfranchised, what do they do? They struggle to destroy it by turning our high trust homogenous polity into another failed Levantine catastrophe.

    THE UTOPIA CANNOT EXIST

    We either create small prosperous redistributive hgh trust homogenous states, or we create a large corrupt low trust poor caste system.

    There is no alternative.

    EXAMPLES: JAMES AUGUSTUS BERENS

    —“Unapologetically masculine, I eat red meat, lift heavy weights, & pursue truth and excellence”—J.A.B.

    There are some of us who can pull off transcendence physically, some spiritually, some intellectually, some aesthetically, some socially, some militarily, and some politically. It’s very hard to accumulate more than one or two of those ‘ribbons’ on one’s chest.

    END THE LIES: OBJECTIVISM INCLUDED

    “The frame creates the falsehood. It’s bait for the well-meaning fool.”

    Humans retaliate for impositions of cost upon that in which they have born costs to obtain an interest.

    The benefits of in-group cooperation are disproportionate to non-cooperation. as much as 10,000 times more productive. such that humans – we are expensive – cannot afford not to cooperate when competing with others who cooperate. And the rate of cooperation determines the rate of production, so we must always advance or rates to maintain advantage.

    Humans are neither moral nor immoral, but rational, and act morally to avoid the imposition of costs and preserve the incentive to cooperate, and act immorally to impose costs and diminishing the incentive to cooperate, as they determine is their interest.

    The more resources available for the mitigation of vicissitudes or the expansion of pleasures, the less rational the impulse to act immorally in the present. The fewer resources available for the mitigation of vicissitudes or the expansion of pleasures, the more rational is the impulse to act immorally in the present. Yet at all times we possess the impulse and opportunity to act immorally should circumstances change.

    THE FAILURE OF OBJECTIVIST ETHICS

    Objectivist polities cannot either form, or survive competition for members, nor competition from markets, nor competition from predators. They are impossible. Becuase all polities depend upon the production of commons and objectivism is (as is the jewish separatism that it was designed to reflect) a model under which members seek the gains of a market without paying the high cost of its construction and maintenance. This is the islamic (overloading), the gypsy(physical parasitism), and the jewish economic strategy(economic parasitism): impose costs and contribute no gains to the commons.

    In other words, if you’re an objectivist you’re a parasite. A parasite on the commons just as a communist is a parasite on private property. But both communism against private property and objectivsm-libertarianism against the commons are simply out-group separatist strategies to engage in parasitism upoN others via one extreme or the other.

    END THE LIES

    You’re welcome to join the non-parasitic liberty movement. We call it ‘Sovereignty’. And it requires that you fight to pay for the liberty you currently beggar for.

    But then, it is a possible liberty not an impossible one.
