    So you don’t understand. It’s ok to just say you don’t understand. So since you don’t undrestand you can’t make an argument – other than to say you don’t understand. You could however answer the question of what capital changes are measured and what are not and why.

    —People define the word philosophy differently: My first year of college my philosophy professor defined it as “the rational appropriation of conscious subjectivity.” Would you comment on this definition?”—Joe Cooley

    1) Philosophy consists of the act of REASONING by attempting to produce paradigms (sets of constant relations) of understanding (decidability) in the absence of sufficient measurements (observations) to do so, because of logical(cognitive) and physical(human scale) and technological(mechanical and logical), and economic (cost) limitations. For this reason, all disciplines started as branches of philosophy until they evolved into sciences (measurements) consisting of constant relations in paradigms(networks).

    2) We create WISDOM LITERATURES using Mythology(supernormal), Literature (fiction), History, Science, Mathematics, and produce at least the following by conflation:
    ( a ) Religion: (Emotional) false history, fictional literature, pseudoscience, occult, and fictional law (fictions)
    ( b ) Philosophy: (Verbal) Sophisms (arguments)
    ( c ) Pseudoscience and Practical Knowledge (utilities):
    Note the Physical>Emotional>Intellectual(verbal) scope of those literatures, and the fictional means we have created to claim pretense of knowledge using them.

    3) While Aristotle began with a hierarchy of categories by which to divide knowledge – the categories of philosophy we still used – he lacked knowledge of how to do better than he did. Today we can include metaphysics(grammars), psychology(aesthetics), sociology(ethics), the sciences(epistemology), testimony(speech), law(cooperation), economics(production), politics(commons), group strategy(competition/evolution).
    Note that Socrates practiced Criticism(Critique), Plato practiced Justification(Pilpul), only Aristotle Practiced Testimony (due diligence against ignorance, error, bias, and deceit).

    4) As far as I know I’ve completed Testimony (epistemology) by converting it to a science (truth) – although we must wait a few decades to see if I’m correct (its very very unlikely that I err). That means that all measurement (“Truth”) is now a question of the sciences. That means that philosophy now consists of the study of CHOICE. Not the true, but the MEANINGFUL, PREFERABLE and the GOOD.

    5) Until we solved the problem of epistemology, we lack a most parsimonious paradigm (truth) – meaning a set of constant relations across the entire spectrum of knowledge from the physical, to the emotional to the intellectual, and could not separate philosophy into truth, good, preference, and meaning. There is only one most parsimonious paradigm (truth) but there are an infinite number of paradigms that provide us understanding(meaning), preference(choice), and good (collective).

    So the domain of philosophy is at present – if not always – the use of fragmentary information in kaleidic (unpredictable) time, to reason out paradigms (networks of constant relations) that help us understand (Meaningful), how to choose how to achieve the Preferable and the Good.

    As such philosophy, as meaning, preference, and good, like creativity, will never end.

    TWO FALSEHOODS DON’T MAKE A RIGHT – SO TO SPEAK. TERM INFLATION (LOADING AND FRAMING) IS JUST FALSEHOOD

    (Wiki blocked me for this comment. Stating that I’m trying to downplay the misrepresentation, rather than simply do my ordinary job of correcting ALL such misrepresentations)

    I specialize in Testimony (particularly scientific testimony), and so I’m sensitive to misrepresentation by term inflation (Loading and Framing).

    Misrepresentation: 1-Forgery(crime), 2-Counterfeit(Crime), 3-Fraud(crime), 4-Hoax(Attention Seeking or Practical Joke), 5-Fictionalism(pseudoscience, pseudorationalism, supernatural) 6-Propaganda(Loading, Framing, Obscuring), 7-Fiction(Entertaining Inflation or ‘Gossip’)

    – A Forgery must misrepresent authorship of for the purpose of profiting from the premium in an exchange due to that authorship.
    – A Counterfeit must misrepresent it’s identity (trademark, weight and measure) for the purpose of obtaining a premium on its exchange.
    – A Fraud must misrepresent information by word, act or implication for the purpose of profiting from an exchange.
    – A Hoax must create physical misrepresentation by suggestion for the purpose of gathering attention (marketing), providing entertainment, or humor (practical joke).
    – A Fictionalism must make use of pseudoscience (failure of due diligence) or magic, idealism or sophistry, and/or the supernatural or occult.
    – Propaganda must provide information of a biased or misleading nature, to promote or publicize a political objective.
    – A Deceit (“deceit or gossip”) must used to load, frame, suggest, or obscure causality for the purpose of avoiding or creating harm.
    – A Fiction must only entertain by coloring the information without necessarily engaging in deception.

    For example:

    – Michelangelo began his sculpting career by misrepresenting his early marble sculpture, Sleeping Eros as a Roman original so he could sell it at a premium – first by burying it and then digging up and ‘discovering’ – That was a Forgery.
    – Alves Dos Reis forged a contract from the Banco de Portugal so that he could acquire banknotes from official printers – meaning his notes were identical to the state’s. That was a Forgery followed by Counterfeiting.
    – Feed the Children and Bernie Madoff. People donated money to this religious organization with the intention of helping starving children, but it was privatized. People gave money to Bernie Madoff to invest but he create created the biggest pyramid scheme in history. These are famous frauds but not counterfeiting, or Forgery or Hoaxes.
    – The Voynich Manuscript was produced (as far as we know) as a Hoax or a Fraud – but not propaganda or fiction.
    – The Protocols of Zion are clearly a Hoax, and clearly Propaganda – and the most currently famous.
    – The vast body of mathematics is constructed upon mathematical idealism (platonism) in which some mathematical reality exists. This is a bad habit held over from antiquity, whereas all of mathematics (measurement by positional names) consists of correspondence and a small number of rudimentary operations. That a Fictionalism.
    – The founding books of the three abrahamic religions are both propaganda and fictions – and the most universal.
    – Crichton’s Eaters of the Dead is a fictional account attributed to Ibn Fadlan – it is a fiction(entertainment), but not propaganda, hoax, or fraud.
    – History and Record: out of necessity, histories and records are constructed by framing the complex so that it is comprehensible.

    ELIMINATION OF OF THE BAD CREATES THE GOOD

    Think of it this way: most of our work as a species is eliminating ignorance, bias, and error: “The Dark Forces of Time and Ignorance”.

    But it’s profitable to create deceptions. So not only are we working against our evolutionary history – our perception of the world anthropomorphically, at human scale, and in our interest – but that we are are working against those who cannot or will not compete by reciprocity, truth, and duty.

  • No More Lies. No More Abrahamism.

    a) there is no god other than the fictions we create as false appeals to authority that justify our ignorance. Gandalf is as much a god as zeus/jupiter, jeohva or allah – and noticeably of better character. Authur has been more influential on the common anglo man than jesus. In my understanding Aristotle is the father of western thought and his works (those that were not destroyed by the christians and muslims and jews) the only bible (book of wisdom) worth reading. The combination of aristotle, zeno, epicurious, and the stoics constitute the western tradition in rational form. (b) there is no infinite regress, since time has no meaning outside of any given universe. As far as we know the universe(s) are just bubbles of space-time constantly in disequilibrium, and existence has no meaning outside of a universe. To state that the universe must be temporally intuitive to man contradicts the findings of the sciences – both at pre and post human scales. We have consistently found that our presumptions of causality are counter to anthropological and anthropomorphic intuitions. (c) natural law (reciprocity) is an evolutionary necessity for any species that evolves the capacity for sympathetic, voluntary, cooperation. All other strategies are contrary to survival. (d) evidence is that all groups rely on reciprocity for the simple reason that it is universally decidable in matters of cooperation and conflict. (e) ethnocentrism is the optimum group evolutionary strategy given all other known and hypothesized strategies. (f) markets are the optimum group evolutionary strategy given all other known and hypothesized strategies. (g) markets accelerate with the continuous expansion of the suppression of parasitism under the the natural law of reciprocity. As far as I know these are logical necessiteis that have been demonstrated empirically (evidentially) in competition against alternatives.
