  • Poetry and Rhyme As Institutions of Normative Law

    Aug 24, 2016 11:41am (interesting idea) There is a reason why we want to restore BOTH truthfulness AND Poetry with Rhyme: Just as our ancient ancestors chose our intellectual (druidic / historian) leadership by their abilities to remember, our more recent intellectual leadership was sorted out by their use of poetry and meter. So if…

  • There Is No Reason To Tolerate Burgher (Bourgeoise) Interference in Political Orders

    Let’s compare Soros’ activism, with PPPP’s activism against Gawker. The courts can be, if we repair the constitution, a method by which the wealthy can police what the politicians choose not to. This is a good. We have juridical defense in these cases. But why can we not sue Soros for corruption by circumventing the…

  • Bourgeoise? No.  Logistics of War

    Aug 24, 2016 12:11pm BOURGEOISE? NO – LOGISTICS OF WAR I get accused of bourgeoise values all the time, and I always think it’s childish, or ignorant. Generals conduct strategy and that means logistics. The last mile, for today, may depend on the character of men. But all the miles behind them, and all the…

  • Absent Juridical Defense, We Must Return To Violence.

    As Sovereign men we create juridical defense to keep peace among equals. We appeal to the MARKET OF PEERS (JURY) FOR resolution of the disputes. Thus submitting to the peers, and asking for equal treatment as is due all peers: insurance against the imposition of costs. But if we lack juridical defense, or are prevented…

  • Forcing People To Come To The Table To Trade

    Aug 24, 2016 1:01pm If you don’t understand what I’m doing, then, of course you’ll make the mistake of classifying me as right wing fascist – but it’s not true at all. Like my predecessors in sovereignty under judge-discovered, common, natural law, I am trying to limit people to fully informed, productive, voluntary exchanges, free…

  • Thoughts On  The Emerging New Right

    Aug 24, 2016 2:06pm CENTRAL ARGUMENTS 1) We can no longer hold any belief that we can integrate the postwar generations into the ‘aristocracy of everyone’ including the absolute nuclear family, individual accountability, the civic society, and rule of law. Where we were not defeated ideologically, despite the monopoly conversion of the academy, media, and…

  • Q&A: Economic Orders

    Aug 24, 2016 2:14pm Q&A: MR DOOLITTLE: QUESTION ABOUT ECONOMIC ORDERS —“Can you please elaborate on this “Once cheap labor stops, and marginal differences in knowledge are exhausted, what remains is a nation’s ability to dynamically reorganize production in real time, and to competitively innovate in real time.” Are you saying that productivity and innovation…

  • Q&A: Social Capital In Europe?

    Aug 24, 2016 2:23pm —“Would you also say, sir, that Europe’s Scientific and industrial Revolutions were the result of this high trust/social capital, as opposed to the prevailing narrative that colonialism = industrial/scientific revolution? It’s always been a theory of mine that social capital is what allowed Europe and Western Civilization to accelerate ahead of…

  • Moral Language As Attempted Fraud?

    Aug 24, 2016 6:04pm —“CURT. YOU DON”T KNOW WHAT HUMAN DIGNITY MEANS? SAY IT ISN”T SO!!!!”— (Hmmm…. I don’t know what human dignity means, but I know what life, body, movement, property, and contract mean. As far as I know, one of the central failings of Islam is the requirement for respect without having yet…

  • Belief is Quantifiable, But Justification Isn’t

    IS BELIEF QUANTIFIABLE? YES BUT JUSTIFICATION ISN”T. Belief is already quantifiable by the degree of risk you are willing to take to demonstrate it. It’s not justifiable, but it’s measurable. In most cases, belief is indistinguishable from self-signaling, and other-signalling, and signal vs risk explains the difference between reported belief, and demonstrated belief. In other…

  • Informational Content in Operationalism vs Empiricism

    Aug 25, 2016 8:02am There is as great a difference in informational content and therefore truth (decidability), between Operationalism and Empiricism, as there was between empiricism and reason, and between reason, and storytelling. This is why, in the future, people will rely on Propertarianism and Testimonialism over ‘mere’ empiricism, the same way we empiricists rely…

  • Classical Liberal Conservative Libertarian

    I AM A CONTRACTUALIST: A CLASSICAL LIBERAL CONSERVATIVE LIBERTARIAN. If you want to classify me, I am a contractualist. This means a classical liberal, libertarian. I am conservative because I’m an empiricist. And I am a Nationalist because I’m from a germanic, martial class by intuition, and because as an empiricist I understand the superior…

  • Another Damning Criticism of Philosophy

    ANOTHER DAMNING CRITICISM OF PHILOSOPHY I am pretty convinced that the subjective experiential analysis and narration in philosophy is as pseudoscientific as subjective, reported, and deductive projection in psychology. Psychology reformed, by adopting operational language, (they use the term operationalism) because during the 70’s and 80’s the discipline was increasingly cast as a pseudoscience, and…

  • Restoring Civic Organizations

    RESTORING THE CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS PRIOR TO THE ATTEMPT TO INDUSTRIALIZE A MONOPOLY OF THE NUCLEAR FAMILY. We need to force the creation of (a) monasteries (education and caretaking) in the ‘scientific’ sense, and (b) regiments (emergency and defense), and (c) civic dormitories (commons construction and maintenance). These places need to provide room and board to…

  • Searching Other’s Words While Listening

    Some people ask if they approve Some people ask if it’s good. Some people ask if it’s true. Some people ask if it’s fraud. A prosecutor tests first for fraud. A scientist tests first for truth. A philosopher tests first for good. A common man tests first for his approval. Everyone tests whether he understands.…

  • We Didn’t Domesticate the R’s (Enough). But We Can.

    WE DIDN’T DOMESTICATE THE R-SELECTORS. BUT WE CAN. Well, I’m not anti-genetics, I’m anti-falsehood, anti-deception, and anti-dysgenia. But when I tell people that “all Jews are female” J mean to suggest that just as we western men are the intellectual advocates of scientific k-selection, jews are the intellectual advocates of the pseudoscientific r-selection. And that…

  • Public Speech As Risky Behavior

    WORDS AND IDEAS AS RISKY BEHAVIOR I understand. Some people want to experiment with physical risk, some with sexual risk, some with chemical risk, and some of us with verbal risk. In other words, we all want to obtain stimuli from exploring new sensations with the method of sensory acquisition that’s most rewarding for us.…

  • It’s The Philosophy of Time, Silly. Not Money.

    The philosophy of Money is kind of stupid really. Money stores time. It’s time that’s the first object of construction in cooperation. Everything else in cooperation evolves from the problem of time. Any philosophical understanding of Money is subject to the philosophy of TIME

  • Clarification of Property, Possession, Rights

    HOMESTEADING(CREATION) -> POSSESSION(DEFENSE) -> PROPERTY(NORM) -> PROPERTY RIGHTS(LAW) It’s probably clearer to label possession as my opinion and property as insured by third parties. I can possess material things, but I can have an interest in far more things. I’m going to try to correct this in my own usage. I may hold possessions, but property…

  • The Old Right -vs- The New Right

    THE OLD RIGHT VS NEW RIGHT The Old Right was “It’s Hopeful If We Are Patient“, and the New Right is “It’s Hopeless, We Must Act“. The hopeful right was a resistance movement hopeful that the leftists would ‘learn’. The right is a hopeless movement that is resigned to the inability others to adopt the…

  • Why Are Good Philosophy Groups Rare?

    WHY ARE GOOD PHILOSOPHY GROUPS RARE? Everyone, it seems, would like to create a quality philosophy group. But the problems faced are these: 1 – We all have an all-too-high opinion of whatever method of categorization, understanding, and decidability we discover. The Dunning-Kruger effect is more exaggerated in ethics, morality, politics and philosophy than any…

  • All Three Political Orientations are Individualistic (Really).

    (By Eli Harman) In truth, all *three* of the principal western political orientations are profoundly and fundamentally individualistic. Leftism is individualism for those with instantaneous time horizons. Food and shelter and medicine and college and debt forgiveness and status and orgasms for ME, right now, regardless of the costs to others or to society or…

  • Violence Is The Most Truthful Form of Argument

    VIOLENCE IS THE MOST TRUTHFUL FORM OF ARGUMENT AND THE NECESSARY RESPONSE TO DECEIT It took a long time for the right to slowly abandon our Victorian taboos and to stoop to the vaudevillian farce and ridicule of the left. But we are better at it than they are. Just as we were better at…

  • Why We Failed

    WHY WE FAILED. All men are comprehensible. All men are rational within their limits. And as rational we choose what is in our interests whether moral or immoral. And we create institutions that increase the cost of the immoral. So that it is rational to choose the moral. The problem of the twentieth century is…

  • The Fifth Wave Of Anti-Aristocratic Religion (Lies)

    THE JEWISH COSMOPOLITAN UTOPIAN PROGRAM IS THE FIFTH WAVE OF ANTI-ARISTOCRATIC RELIGION (LIES) 1 – the Zoroastrian Reaction (The creation of religion in response to the development of the Aryanism (heroism). 2 – The Jewish Reaction (the creation of Judaism in imitation of Egyptian monotheism as a means of claiming property upon the departure of…
