The Most EVIL Ideology You've NEVER Heard Of! is an Infrared live stream from Mon, Apr 10.[1]
Notes / outline
- Discussion about Dalai Lama cringe behavior and how Feudal Tibet is America's future if we don't change course
- It's unsatisfactory to say that the New Left is the reason the American Synthetic Left is so fucked up
- Haz argues that Karl Popper is the actual father of the current Synthetic Left and "liberalism in the Information Age"
- Bourgeois epistemology (theory of truth) and bourgeois politics both begin with blank slates; democracies are empty "forms" filled with the "content" by elections, truth and knowledge is "empty" until proven through scientific method
- Karl Popper writes Open Societies and its Enemies, which argues against democracy and claims that "the people" are totalitarian etc.
- This is really about Information Theory
- Karl Popper rejects democracy which is the will of the people, he instead advocated for "Open Societies" controlled by rigid Institutions which are governed by their own principles
- This Open Society design is in contrast to populism, majoritarianism, Jeffersonian Democracy, etc.
- As it relates to epistemology, Popper introduces the idea of falsifiability
- Popper claims that Marxism is unfalsifiable
- Haz wishes more Marxists would engage with Popper's writings in order to disprove this claim of his
- Popper attacks Plato for positing "The Good" which pre-exists its own content, which is thus unfalsifiable because it does not (yet) exist
- The Good, The Republic, The People, etc. for Hegel, it was the Prussian State and Prussian Statecraft, for Marxist-Leninists it's the Proletariat, for German Nazi scum, it's racial purity. For Americans, it's Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, et al.
- Popper claims that the notion of The Good is totalitarian, because it's insisted by the human mind, rather than scientific glasses-wearing jibber jabber
- Book recommendation: Political Platonism by Aleksandr Dugin
