  • Philosophy Before, and After, Propertarianism

    [S]trict construction merely makes it very hard to err, bias, and deceive: it’s a process of falsification.  A test.  What survives the test is a truth candidate.

    I’m not arrogant when I say that there is one category of philosophy prior to Propertarianism, and on category of philosophy after. Justificationism is now dead if it wasn’t dead becasue of Popper.

    And the reason I’m merging philosophy with science, and destroying rationalism is simple: philosophy has been used largely to lie.

    End Lying Into The Commons.

    #tcot #tlot I’m not arrogant when I say that there is all philosophy prior to Propertarianism, and all after. Justificationism is now dead.

    OUR FEELINGS TELL US VERY LITTLE WITHOUT BOUNDARIES

    Falsification (Limits) tells us what is true. Confirmation is often comforting lie.

    Heroin feels good. Many drugs feel good. Beer and chips and soccer feel good. Democracy feels good. Security feels good. But many things that feel good are not in fact good. Comforting lies are suicidal.

    WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE IN MEANING BETWEEN “PROSECUTION” AND “INQUISITION”?

    I know we need a new civic ‘religion’, and I know it contains, love, truth, prosperity, commons, and beauty. But what is the model of organization? Judge, Sheriff, Prosecutor, Inquisitor? Or is it all of the above? Each more proactive than the last.

  • The Destroyers of Truth and Trust

    —“That’s where the Politically Correct -shaming comes in. Making sure those that are not susceptible to lies are still brought under control by fear of social ostracism, loss of loved ones, deprivation of income and so on. The [progressives] are bastards, make even acknowledging the truth very expensive. “— James Santagata

    [T]hey destroy truth to destroy trust, to create demand for authoritarianism in order to resolve conflicts, that could be resolved by truth, and as a consequence to organize society according to their will.

  • The Purpose of the Technologies of Truth and Falsehood.

    [T]he purpose of that technology that we call ‘Truth’ is largely one of persuasion. The purpose of that technology we call ‘falsehood’ is largely the prevention of persuasion by imaginary, erroneous, biased, wishful, or deceitful means. In any scale beyond the directly perceivable – meaning beyond no more than 150 people – we cannot rely upon persuasion but instead must rely upon falsification: reason not to do something.

    There are few known goods. There are some known good processes. At any scale assent is the default. Falsification by the imposition of costs not assent by majority rule. Curt Doolittle The Propertarian Institute Kiev, Ukraine.

  • Apriori and Rational vs Empirical and Operational

    —“Anything that can be shown apriori can be demonstrated or translated empirically with higher confidence but not everything that is empirical can be demonstrated apriori.”— Ayelam Valentine Agaliba
