Predictive Models Are Rational, Explanatory Models Are Totalitarian
Wokesters and Conspiracy Theorists are the same
Analysis falls into two categories: Predictions and Explanations. Explanation is always the inferior form of analysis, because it is a backwards justification. Explanation inherently cannot be predictive. An Explanation is back-fill when no theoretical model will satisfy. It cannot be falsified—unlike Prediction. This means that Explanation resists testing. And it cannot do what predictive models do, which makes Explanation all around inferior.
Explanation expropriates the custody of rationalism from the individual, and gives it to an 'authority' who resists debate, because the authority has already 'explained' the issue. Further analysis is unwelcome. Authority resists testing, as we have seen with the Twitter files.
Predictive models do not require a preponderance of legal and media control to exert themselves. They're right and that is justification enough. It does not need to be popular to be right. Contrast that with an 'explanatory model' like Woke Totalitarianism. Wokesters claim that all inequality is due to racism. It doesn't matter to them that for all the resources spent on the lower classes in the United States, that they still fail to achieve what the middle class achieves without help. The justification to help the lower classes is that they will become middle class once their lower class pressures are removed. Instead what we see is that welfare is the source of generational criminality. Economic models predicted this outcome. A big government crashes the economy by taking resources from the productive private sector and giving them to the consumptive public sector. Welfare saps the will of the worker to work, resulting in low productivity. An explanatory model that 'all outcomes are due to race' ignores that government welfare in the US has been helping the lower classes for over fifty years and that poverty has increased and the financial integrity of the country has been compromised. Testing welfare with a predictive model would show that it is an unmitigated failure that has lead to an increase in criminality and poverty, while also super-empowering the government. In fact there is overwhelming evidence that welfare and racial 'affirmative action' has weakened the United States by every measurable statistic. But this is not a challengeable belief, because it is popular. It resists debate, because it has already 'won' the 'will' of the 'people.'
Predictive models of knowledge are humanist and explanatory models are totalitarian. There is no way to test an explanation. The authority asserts it and you are supposed to accept it. But if the explanation was so good, it would be predictive. And that would make it rational. But explanations that do not accurately predict are trash. They use a methodology other than rationalism.
Equalism is a lie. People are not equal. Beliefs are not equal. Opinions are not equal. Every time you disdain another belief, you reinforce your belief that there is no such thing as equality. That is the Hegelian contradiction in Wokesterism: they claim to be equalist, but disdain contrary opinions. So they don't believe in equalism. This is the weak point that should be targeted in any argument with the 'woke.' Attack their logic. They are not interrogating your beliefs with Good Faith. This is precisely why I underline the Jewish experience when discussing the cognitive dysfunction of so-called rationalists: we all experience from the woke what the Jews experience from Jew haters. This asymmetrical attack that comes from an unequal place of power and only power—not reason—can adjudicate. An asymmetric attack that claims to be rationalist, but presided over by bigoted totalitarians who have already decided the result. Those targeted by woke totalitarianism that then resort to anti-Jewish conspiracies are merely legitimizing the methods the woke use to attack them. Ie: if you're some white identitarian and you obsess about the woke Jews, you are committing the same error your opponent commits, thus undermining your own position. It is this anti-Jewish fixation in alternative analysis which has prevented otherwise intelligent people from seeing the truth: there is only rationalism and anti-rationalism. Everything else is a masquerade.
