Oh, and you never make a typo, right?
Oh, and you never intentionally misrepresent other’s words, right?
Don’t advertise intellectual dishonesty.

Claims must be demonstrated.
It will be very difficult to dispute anything I say. 😉

RE: “I NEVER ERR”
I don’t’ think you understand what I mean by that statement.
I mean that if I write a constructivist proof that I don’t err.
The reason is that it’s so fking difficult to err if you write one.
The phrasing is to bait the other party into making an argument, thereby minimizing the frame, rather than forcing me to explain with a wall of text.
All of this explanation written down on the “Criticisms” page links on the site.
These statements offend you on a regular basis, for emotional reasons – probably because you can’t empathize with my methods. It’s because you attribute to my words the emotional intuition that you put into yours.
It’s possible you haven’t run a large organization, participated in politics, or competed in the courts against people who are dishonest. I have.
I don’t presume the other party has a moral character, has good intentions, is intellectually honest, or even has any more degree of agency than a puppy. I assume everyone is a gene machine and that agency and self awareness are rare occurrences.
And I assume I am a gene machine too – it’s just that my gene machine brought me here, to this function, at this point in time. And the court-jester that is my internal personality is just along for the ride.

MANY PEOPLE DISLIKED DARWIN OR GALILEO TOO
Just because something is unpleasant doesn’t mean its false.
Nietzsche, Menger, Darwin, Hume, Galileo, Machiavelli, Aristotle, Socrates – all faced the same problem.
But, if it’s true, it’s true.
We had the British empirical enlightenment, then the enlightenment by the French, German, german-jewish, jewish-russian, jewish-french, jewish-american, chinese and now islamic revolutions against science, reason, and markets.
The Jewish counter-enlightenment by Marxism, Cultural Marxism, Postmodernism, Feminism, and Human-biodiversity-denialism today, is a repeat of the Jewish counter enlightenment of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam In the ancient world – and bringing about a second dark age.
We can either restore western civilization truth and reason or continue to descend into another dark age.

What has Trump suggested that I (we) don’t suggest?
P (Propertarianism) is strictly constructed natural law of reciprocity(morality) and testimony (truth), that in turn, explains the success of western civilization. It’s no more of a pipe dream than european civilization.

re: Jackson Crawford, Tyr vs. Odin as Chief God
In order to suppress controversy you’re overstating your case. You’re representing sources, because under the defensive protection of the scientific method, we don’t hypothesize without evidence. Meanwhile I think Dumezil and the rest of us are interested in the evolution of european natural religion over time. To claim we can’t use etymology which is about as close to genetic evidence that we come, is rather unscientific, and to claim we can’t apply the same method of analysis to mythology is also. And to claim the popularity of the farmer’s god over the ruling class’ god in a tripartite hierarchical society given the difference in those demographics isn’t scientific either. Every mythos we know of evolved like every political and legal technology and every narrative technology by rules similar to language. Every mythic tradition is subject to the same forensics.
So you’re creating conflict where there isn’t any. It is very hard to argue that Odin didn’t rise to prominence some time between the IE expansion and first testimony (roman). That would mean that european natural religion had a deus ex machina moment and Odin came out of nowhere in contrast to the entire cross civilizational IE pantheon. In the context of all those european mythologies, Odin is a pretty clear rotation into prominence. And Odin is the ‘odd man out’ in european religion. Of the european iranic and indo-iranic branches, each group evolved deities to fulfill the needs of a survival narrative given geographic and cultural competition. Europeans gods are are interesting because conquering (and replacing) early neolithic farmers was easier than the more advanced civilizations of the indus and mesopotamian regions. They were under less adaptive pressure. Yet still we have Odin.
Why? That’s the interesting question. How did he rotate into prominence and why? So to say Odin is the primary germanic god – well of course he is by the thirteenth century record. That doesn’t tell us anything interesting. It doesn’t provide explanatory power. It doesn’t tell us why and where he came from. What change or pressure or advantage caused the germanic branch of the european expansion to rotate a psychopomp into the primary god (all father) to replace sky father? What drove the germanic adaptation (rotation) of a psychopomp into the god of the aristocracy?

Any 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.

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.
