    TESTIMONIALISM: FULL ACCOUNTING AND PARSIMONY

    I talk about Parsimony (limits) pretty often, but I don’t spend enough time and effort on the obvious moral requirement of Full Accounting(full accounting of all costs: opportunity, real, normative, institutional, genetic and ‘godly’- in the sense of man’s achievement of godhood).

    THE TESTS OF TRUTHFULNESS – WARRANTY OF DUE DILIGENCE

    Identity (non-conflationary)

    Internal Consistency (logical)

    External Correspondence (empiricism)

    Existential Possiblity (operationalism)

    Parsimonious (falsified limits)

    Full Accounting (Full accounting of all costs)

    Moral (objectively moral)

    Popper came close but he just supplied the darwinian idea.

    I think now that I am in the third year of work on this problem I’m getting pretty close to confidence that this list of warranties is the complete set that man is capable of providing, and is the complete set necessary for warranty against imaginary content: error, bias, wishful thinking and deceit.

  • EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE OF THE SUPERIORITY OF WESTERN TRUTHFULNESS The Chosen People

    EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE OF THE SUPERIORITY OF WESTERN TRUTHFULNESS

    The Chosen People is an argument to supremacy. Islamism is an argument to supremacy. Evidence is of european supremacy whether pagan or christian. Actually, its against christian mysticism, and in favor of pagan science, independence and testimony. If we look at RATES of evolution (development) instead of earliest development, it’s pretty obvious that the superior people, the superior system of government, the superior system of production of the arts and sciences, is european. A small backward people on the edge of eurasia outperform every civilization in history in both the prehistoric (british isles), the ancient (greco-roman-danubian), and modern (anglo-german) eras. This is merely empirical. “Who did it first” is just a dishonest framing. The more important question is, who consistently does it faster. And in the ancient and modern periods the philosophy of aristocracy (truth) has defeated every competitor. The only challenge came from the jews in both eras: christian mysticism extended Egyptian authoritarianism using babylonian mythos. And in the modern era, jewish pseudoscience: boaz, freud, marx, cantor, mises, Frankfurt, rothbard, and rand. The reason it worked in both eras: WOMEN and SLAVES united with JEWISH argument against us.

    THE RIGHT IS HAPPY WITH TRUTH AND TRADE. THE LEFT WANTS LIES AND TAKINGS

    The reason the right likes my solutions to political economy, despite being fairly progressive innovations of on classical liberalism, are because they disallow lying in the construction of exchanges. And the fact that progressives are dependent upon lies and conservatives desirous of truth telling should be enough of an insight for any moral man: progressivism feminine socialism is authoritarian, and conservative masculine aristocracy is egalitarian. Just true. So deal with it. Progressives are liars and thieves, and it’s that simple.

    THE TRUTH ABOUT RUSSIA AND RUSSIANS

    (this is one of many examples of how I fight the russian trolls, paid or otherwise. it is an attempt at reverse propaganda. I am actually pretty fond of russians. and if you read this it is a pretty ambitious idea i’m putting forward. Now, I can make the same kind of argument about most western nations too. So you know, we’re all full of it. )



    Russians have a ‘brown thumb’. Everything Russians touch turns to shit.

    So rather than touch anything new, get your own house in order. Tell Americans to get their own house in order. But never, never once, congratulate yourselves and say that Russians are not the only white people who failed, because history is evidence that at every possible opportunity Russians make the worst of all choices,

    Why? because a people without honor cannot choose an honorable course. Why? Because power, not productivity, not beauty, not justice is the decision making criteria of all Russians. Why? because men who cannot trust each other can only view the world through a lens of power. In this sense, Russians remain forever Mongolians, Byzantines, Islamists.

    Russian history is fabricated propaganda. Russians are not Rus, they are pretenders to Scandinavian heritage who killed off the local Rus. They are Muscovites. Muscovites are not culturally european (meaning aristocratic) just envious of it. Muscovites are instead boyars: culturally Mongolian, Byzantine, and Islamic: low trust people who are not capable of constructing rule of law due to perpetual corruption at every level of society.

    Russians do not practice Christian ethics: “impose no cost that would cause dissent and desire for retaliation”, but Jewish ethics: “whatever we can get away with without drawing attention of the state”. Russians use Mongolian military tactics, Byzantine Religion, Islamic Government, Jewish ethics, all while wearing ill-fitting european aristocratic costumes. Unfortunately for all of us, Russians remain “the only white people who failed.”

    The west’s first mistake was intervening with the Germans in WW1. The west’s second mistake was in not helping the Germans in WW2. There is no question that continuation of german expansion in to eastern europe would have raised the western slavs to european levels of prosperity. There is no question that soviet conquest and occupation did not set eastern Europe back by two centuries, and at higher rates of geneocide and murder than the Nazis ever envisioned.

    Within four generations China will retake Asia to the Urals. Within four generations the Muslims will take Moscow. And the Russians – the people most successful at moving women into the work force, will perish because of it. But maybe that’s ok. Protected by remote location, the only white people who failed just will have taken longer to fail because of that remoteness.

    But there is an alternative future.

    End Russian lies. End Russian Propaganda. End Russian corruption. Stop fearing the west, just deny Russia the failed experiment of western utopian democracy. The west will agree. The western conservatives NEED Russian help in this fight against postwar utopian democracy.

    Unite the circumpolar people. Or we all die. In no small part because the ‘poor little Russia’ is like the poor neighborhood kid trying to get respect by showing he is tough because he’s parents are poor, drink too much, and spent time in prison so he is prohibited membership in civil society. And the cost of containing the damage of our neighborhood’s Russian ‘criminal family’ has exhausted the west over the past century.

    A history of Jewish Communism, Stalinist Socialism,Jewish Oligarchic Gangsterism, Putin Absolutism, have all been enacted by Russians for the same reason: they are a culturally, economically, ethically and morally backward, low trust steppe people lacking the enlightenment, and persisting the low trust society imposed upon them by first the mongols then ivan the terrible, then czarist incompetence, then jewish soviet ‘evil’, then stalinist evil, then the poverty of the emergent jewish gangster’s of the 90’s.

    And now Putin tries desperately to accomplish what all others have failed at: to build rule of law and a diverse economy, using the temporary utility of resource and oil wealth.

    Had he not invaded Ukraine out of impulsivity and fear, then he could have ruled the world as the greatest politician of the 21st century. But a small frightened paranoid man reliant on privatizing oil wealth needed to pay off a spy network of Chechens for his power base, and a drug trade to pay off his secret policy, and easily toppled by economic warfare, is desperately trying to maintain his support by sabre-rattling (and Russians are Excellent warriors) which only plays to the Russian respect for power over productivity and morality.

    The way to raise Russia out of her backwardness without dependence upon violence and oil is to close the borders, impost the best rule of law existent in the world, and unleash Russian IQ and Ambition – saving east and west together.

    This cannot happen while Russians lie, cheat, steal, engage in corruption, propagandize, and seek physical power over productive merit.

    Low trust killed the Islamic empire. It is preventing the Russian people from assent into leadership of the circumpolar peoples.

    End the lies, end the corruption, and Russia rules the world. One does not rule by military power. One rules by economic power which funds the military necessary to prolong it.

  • DUELS (worth repeating) You aren’t honor bound to accept one. You’re threatened

    DUELS

    (worth repeating)

    You aren’t honor bound to accept one. You’re threatened that if you impugn the honor of another you will apologize, or fight to prove the truth of your statement, or die by murder for doing neither.

    While positioned as trial by combat, the principle is ancient: “put up or shut up.”

    My position on dueling is that the court is one weapon that is available to us in such matters, and that reputation is in fact, a critical asset in one’s inventory.

    The reason dueling was outlawed was that men hired substitutes (mercenaries) and it became a means of murder rather than suppression of gossip or test of truth telling.

    The reason it was originally promoted, was the equivalent of ‘take it outside’. It allowed men to ‘cool off’ before getting in a fight, and hopefully allow cooler heads to prevail. Also it was quite heavily regulated, with the intention to harm not so much to kill.

    Challenging a man to a duel ends a conversation very quickly since it can escalate in to a very risky life or death proposition. Also, today’s guns are very dangerous by comparison. If we can fight, use sticks and bats, use knives, use swords, use guns, or use courts, then I suspect there would be a lot more truth telling, and a lot less gossip, and a lot more civility in this world.

    And those who ‘cheat’ us, would be put to death in vast numbers.

    Q&A: “Curt, Why do you spend time supporting (x class of people).”

    Yeah. I’m supportive. No I’m not picky about it. I am supportive of any attempt to construct amoral arguments in social science using the language of incentives, voluntary exchange, and truth. And conversely, what do you expect me to do? While I don’t have a bunch of classrooms to use as a sounding board, do you know how awesome it is NOT to hold a professorship where you are trying to preserve your status, trying to defend your department’s position on x or y, trying not to offend potential ‘customers’, and not get into trouble with the politically correct bureaucracy? I’m privileged as hell. So I share it. And in exchange I get people to help me understand what I don’t yet understand. Its awesome. We’re all stumbling in the dark. We all help each other. Humans are awesome.

    And yes, there is a class of lightly autistic fellow that argues what he understands and WANTS to be true, because learning what he doesn’t is hard for him. That’s ok. Show compassion to them. Over time they learn too.

    Never tolerate the rallying and shaming or ad hominems though. I don’t and you shouldn’t. It’s intellectual cancer. Lying to silence the truth.

  • The High Cost of Truthfulness – But Truth Is Enough

    [T]here is a high cost to truth telling. I am entirely aware of the burden we must pay for physical defense of the realm, physical defense of life and property, normative defense of civic behavior, and defense of the informational commons. But in each case the costs produce extraordinary returns. If we require truthfulness, invasive religions and ideologies cannot Proselytize any unscientific statements – at least using the commons. And alternative rules of law are violations of natural law and pseudoscientific encouragement of theft and fraud. Truth is Enough. Truth and Violence allowed us to construct commons. Truth and violence are enough to restore us. Truth. Violence. Persistence. Lies and cowardice. Genocide.
