To play devils advocate one could argue that the theory of relativity stated as a matematical metaphor is already the information as processed by humans. And that such a descriptive statment about the world implies a belef in consistent natural laws.
I also dont see how that description about religion is useful. Dont worry abou being sleepy. Rest comarade. Somtimes i have migranes and take days to reply
Good response. Agree. In general. I specially agree with the last paragraph.
But it is also the case that diferent owner clases beneffit from diferent laws and ideology. The common example is the american civil war were feudal aristocrats favored low tariffs while industrial capital prefered protectionist tarifs and wage labor, and a strong state that invested in infraestructure like railroads. Views on ussury in feudal vs trade vs mixed societies is another example.
Similarly labor relations as determined by the means of production influence the ideological positions of a society towards labor.
No society has a single means of production, there is usually an amalgam of economic interests each of this benefits from a different law, ideology or coustom. My line of questioning was in this sense, wether diferent material basis of siciety for example pastoralists vs agriculturalists lead to different ideological spaces, and how much of that is pure idealism and how much correlates to differences in the mode of prodiction.

Does anybody have jerry pournelles phd thesis? I have not been able to find it. But its related to this type of horoscope.
Now idealy each question should be its own axis of variation. And then you would do a pca or similar to define your political space with that basis. That method would be more objective.
And could lead to interesting questions, how do these arrangments vary culturally. Both the spaces and their dimentionality. Maybe in some cultures the first "n" axes are all really similar while in others one axis sufices to represent most of the variation? How does these variations relate to social economic and other struvctural forces? Do diferent compositions and or historical pathways to capital produce diferent ideological relations in semengly unrelated isues? Etc.
Or you could run all sorts of analysis to create your ideological space not just pca but network embeding or some of the fancy new shit.
But in this case the space is asumed a priori wich is shit. I dont know if dr pournelle also pulls the space out of his ass or if he does some statistical justification. The psichological tests that look for protestant virtues like agreeablnes, concienciousnes etc serm to operate under a similar system are those categories aslo bullshit or is there a correlation analysis used to define them?
Superhuman order not necessarily supernatural. Unless you hold the philosophical position in wich reality is a product of human subjective experience. No i have not read the book but it says rigth there in the screenshot.
Its certainly a wierd taxonomy and i have no idea of what uses it may have. But there are sets that can be defined in such a way.
With covid around you shuldnt go to a movie teather.
Disney cape shit sucks i agree. But be responsible and dont go to enclosed crowded places when there is an airborn plague.
What if covid was a terrorist atack on china and iran by obama loyalists? With the aded benefit ithat it put them back in power.
There is no ssuch thing as absolute rule by a single figure. Unles they are are some sort of wizard with unfathomable abilities. In reality these figures are representatives of class interests.
Of it drags long enough european heavy industry would become non viable economically. That means nato is efectivley done for. No industrial base no war making capacity.
One time i was hanging out with my friends and we stped by a convinience store. They were carring a type of vanilla soda that was manufactured locally at the time and had a very limited distrubtion. Seenig that i was happy and ordered one. my friends gave me surprised looks. So i asked them why, and aparently the drink was marketed to gay people. So i responded well i like it so what if its gey? I think thats the best response to these kind of asholes.
I dont mind them milking the holocaust. What i disagree with is that they are milking middle easterners when they should be milking germany, maybe poland.
Its not. The baku regime has been a rouge state since the begining.

I havent read that. I will check it out and getback at you once i finish soaring the heavens
You would think that. Because they are muslim. And he marries a petty kings daugther insted of the emperors daugther.
But there are muslims all over china and there were even more before an lushans revelion. i always figured they were raiding zhou zhengs mausoleum and as such it would be set in shaanxi.
Wich put things in perspective whoever was the original owner of the main djin built a great empire, and while aladin also becomes king his ambitions seem more reduced.
Some people do love their calipers.
