  • THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DEBATE, NEGOTIATION, AND PROSECUTION SERIES: Intelligible

    THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DEBATE, NEGOTIATION, AND PROSECUTION

    SERIES: Intelligible > imaginable(believable) > reasonable > rational > justificationary > logical > calculable > tautological.

    1) On can rely on intuitionism and start with reason in order to construct calculation, or one can start with logic explain calculation (transformation of inputs into outputs), and devolve calculation into increasingly incommensurable (deflated, inflated, conflated, fictionalized) categories, until we define the unintelligible.

    2) We can start optimistically with an attempt at negotiation and therefore cooperation, leaving open one’s choice of preference, or we can start pessimistically with prosecution and therefore and therefore a threat, leaving decidability (Truth) as the only means of escape.

    3) In the market and in philosophy we can choose, in law and the court we cannot, because if you cannot testify to it – which is what empiricism is reducible to – you cannot defend yourself from prosecution with it.

    So as I write natural law, I don’t negotiate, I prosecute.

  • So let me get this straight, if they try to prosecute the president for obstruct

    So let me get this straight, if they try to prosecute the president for obstruction despite the fact that there was no crime, and nothing to obstruct, meaning he that he was honest, and the entire thing was a setup, then is that when the right wing burns dc to ashes?

  • Deception by Conflation: Inflating Authority

    There is no such thing as legitimacy other than the legitimacy of a child. There is no such thing as validity other than a stamp of certification. In argument there is only soundness, and soundness is not a proxy for true, simply for reasonableness – meaning it’s understandable and so far not false.

  • Existence

    —“It’s worth distinguishing between the knowledge of a referrer and the existence of its referent. We clearly know of the referrer (concept) we call ‘unicorn’, and might someday be able to bring some approximation of a unicorn into existence as a referent. The referent of the referrer ‘unicorn’ is not real, meaning it does not exist insofar as there isn’t a thing you can point to in the world and say ‘this is what I mean’.”–Trent Fowler Knowledge(know,knowing) is a verb – an action – not a noun (thing). Knowledge exists as long as a living mind exists to hold it, or a record of knowledge exists that is reconstructable into knowledge (experience), just as running exists only while a person runs. Knowledge of a unicorn exists, and we label such knowledge a ‘concept’ which means some category or other of referrer. Knowledge of concepts exists, but concepts do not. Knowledge of unicorns exists, but unicorns do not. Horses exist. Dinosaurs did exist, but other than their descendants: reptiles and birds do not.

  • It takes a great deal of Agency to speak truthfully; and learning to speak truth

    It takes a great deal of Agency to speak truthfully; and learning to speak truthfully provides you with Agency. Operational grammar of testimonial speech is as important as reading, mathematics, and logic.
