Theme: Truth

  • No, Philosophy(choice) Is Subordinate to Science (truth)

    Again, economics and law, defeat philosophy, religious tradition, and moral justificationism. Demonstrated vs Reported. Always and everywhere. —“Philosophy is more fundamental than economics. The notion of making choices, based on rewards and punishment, implies some form of ethics, which itself is a branch of philosophy. Economics is not a floating abstract, disconnected from ethics or philosophy.”— Mark Goodkin It’s actually just physics. Morality=reciprocity, an reciprocity is the only system of measurement a cooperative species can use and survive. Philosophy allows us to choose preferences, but truth and falsehood are in the domain of science. Historically this relationship was mistakenly reversed because it threatened the status quo. Philosophy(middle class) like religion (underclass) is just the record of dissatisfaction: opposition literature. The ruling class rules, and they rule by law, and law and economics require reciprocity to fund the requirements for maintaining power. Science has a great track record. Philosophy has very arguable (if not certainly) done more harm than good. And theology has certainly done more harm than all but malaria and the black plague.

    Dylan Thomas running a debate with Eli and Jared Howe, demonstrating (a) moderators must in fact moderate, (b) moderators must ensure that speakers define their terms, (c) must expose the central argument, (d) be juridical in preventing people from circular arguments, circular definitions, failures to answer the central questions.

    Hence why I don’t waste my time with kiddies. At least academics, especially in the sciences, have to pass a dissertation committee that won’t tolerate such nonsense.

    Well, you know, natural law is in fact the white equivalent of sharia. The question is whether we insure ourselves to the same degree under natural law. Truth is more intolerant than lies.

  • Every Woman Is Pandora, and We Are the Guardians of The Box.

    Love women. Do not debate women. Never debate women over preference or good, only possible or impossible. Women cannot tolerate refutation of their emotions. This is what deprives them of agency. They cannot tolerate being at fault in the minds of others – only when they fault themselves. Women’s “Intuitions (impulses)” are almost unbearable, and without training (Stoicism, Buddhism, Religion) they cannot cope with them, and if they can cope with them, they cannot still cope with the confusion created by the inability to trust those emotions and continuously fight them with reason. So this is the origin feminism, the success of postmodernism, and the female affinity for socialism and marxism, and female interest in literary rather than scientific thought: They are constantly seeking excuses not to discipline their impulses. Men must constantly suppress ours or danger will result in the near term. The problem is that if we don’t suppress women’s danger results in the long term. Every woman is pandora, and we are the guardians of the box.

  • Love Women. but Truth, Testimony and Reason Are Male Attributes: The Feminists Are Right.

    (see if I can get in trouble for this one) Around 40% of women have mental illness of some sort. And from a man’s perspective as a rational human, around double that have problems with correspondence with reality, and all but a handful are limited by social cognitive biases they cannot escape. It’s true that only about 20-30% of men are reproductively desirable, but 80% are rational. But it’s also true that 70-80% of women are (at least for some period) reproductively desirable, but 80% are not rational. Man evolves reason and evolution lets us drag women along behind us at rather great distance. In fact, women do not select for intelligence in men, but aggression. They do not wish their children to be competitive, but sociable. We focus on intelligence overmuch, when rationality determines how intelligence is demonstrated. Ask any woman a NAXALT question, whether we should pursue equality or reciprocity, whether men by and large defend women or threaten them, and what percentile their children are in – and you will find these estimates correct. Women are wonders. But war, politics, law, economics, and truth are as unique to men as childbirth is to women. My understanding is that men provide the environment, and women provide the generations. As such men think and women feel. For the simple reason that children require immediate action, and the tribe requires longer term planning. Love women as they love their children. This is the lesson of patriarchy.
