  • Religion Without Lies Is Possible:

    [T]he alternative to religion of lies, is european, history, stoicism (mindfulness), epicureanism (living within your means), ancestor worship (recognition of debts of intergenerational transfer), the play (tragedy), sport(hunt) and festival (feast). No more lies. My exploration of paganism is reducible to the ethnocentric advantage of ancestor worship, the raising of ancestors to archetypes, and the market adaptability of the pantheon of archetypes without the need for altering the group strategy or narrative. In other words, it facilitates the natural hierarchy of abilities, and it eliminates the need for lying that produces anchoring. Like many things our greco roman ancestors had most of the institutions correct – they overextended into civilizational diversity and encountered anceitn primitive people bent on lying.

  • Truth in Ethnocentrism

    —“Baiting people into the same Ethno-supremacist bullshit that is the main characteristic of modern day Israel? … Pilpul.. … Still some sharpening to do here.”—Noel Fritsch

    Are you saying that small, homogenous, low power distance, polities under rule of law, and their naturally limited capacity for fiat currency inflation don’t demonstrate the optimum mixed economies for both trade and redistribution? Are you saying ethnocentrism isn’t the optimum group strategy? Are you saying that ethno-supremacism isn’t a necessary property of ethnocentrism? Are you saying that europeans are not demonstrably superior genetically, culturally, scientifically, medically, technologically, institutionally, civilizationally to all other civilizations in the ancient and modern worlds? Are you the one engaging in deceit? I don’t use pilpul – it requires internal inconsistency and P-logic prevents internal inconsistency.

  • Getting to Your Personal Epiphany

    —“I feel you are missing the archetypal experience description. I get that that could be included in testimonial but feel empirical science/lawful testimony and mystical testimony are two different functions.”—Bill Smith

    Try again. I can sense something there and I probably know how to answer it but I’m not sure.

    —“Scientific experience is summarized in scientific testimonial which leads in the direction of expressions of empirical natural law. … Mystical experience is expressed in poetry, the development of religious structures that send one down a destination-less path and manifestations of the ephemeral like the Runes. … I believe they are different things requiring different metrics and modes of expression and experience.”—Bill Smith

    Correct. The question is, must they be coherent compatible and commensurable even if they are expressed in different grammars: deflationary-scientific vs inflationary-poetic. And my answer is yes. There is no reason for conflict. And it is this conflict that undermines our civlization from within.

    —“If you’re saying what I think you’re saying I’m about to tear up due to the truth you’re conveying… as I’ve never known anyone else who did or even could communicate that fundamental lack intrinsic to our culture. That was a powerful experience. Actually I think you might have broken me. At least … I hope you did.”—Bill Smith

    Broken means bad? lol. What does that mean? I’m scared.

    —“Broken as in the change in conscious experience of reality due to a distinguishable event or experience but is dependent on previous works or studies.”— Bill Smith

    Ok. “a moment of sudden revelation or insight.” Revelation, Epiphany, Paradigm Shift. (Good. I don’t have to feel guilty all day now. lol -hugs.)

  • The only Two Search Criteria Available for Scientific Statements.

    “[A]ny evidentiary claim must be either an example (meaning) that is followed by operational construction (falsification), or by non operational correlation, exhaustive evidence, illustrating the limits (falsification).” These are the only two search criteria available for scientific(testifiable, due diligence, warrantable) statements. Here is what we do in P: Create a series of references (examples) that define the limits of the constant relations (properties you’re arguing). This usually takes three or more examples. In most cases I use civilizations. We call this disambiguation by serialization and operationalization. Then define or explain the term in the series by stating a constructive argument from a sequence of incentives using physical and natural law. Then falsify it by testing against all eight dimensions. This is the propertarian methodology. And this is why it is so difficult to be wrong when making a P-argument.
