Religion: The Principle of Reciprocity
The Second Principle of Freedom of Religion is Reciprocity. So if a religion violates the principle of reciprocity, then it cannot be claimed as a fundamental right, since reciprocity is a necessary fundamental right.
How Can Human Rights Be Taken Away?
Rather foolish question. The question is how do we create them in the first place. Human rights consist in a list of things we seek to create. We are not all that good at creating them. And I think the question is still open whether we should create them, or whether people should earn them…
Had Bin Laden Been Hiding In Australia, Would The United States Have Trust Australia More Than Pakistan?
Australia and Canada both suffer from extraordinary privileges that they attribute to their own actions or own beliefs rather than the windfall produced by their ancestor’s conquest of primitive lands, using science, guns, germs, steel, accounting, and rule of law. None of us take Australia or Canada any more seriously than we take the girl…
Is It Possible To Have A Perfect Government And Make Everyone Happy?
We had the perfect government: Monarchy, Multi-House Parliaments with one house per class, and the Common Law under Rule of law, under Nationalism (tribalism). The Monarch had only power of veto. The houses functioned as a market for trading commons between the different socio-economic classes. And an homogenous polity can act redistributively because everyone is…
What Are The Key Differences In Business Culture Between Western And Eastern?
Sinic (Eastern) : Basis of Sinic philosophy is Sun Tzu: Deception and delay until opportunity to defeat. We are strongest when we have total control, and cannot be victimized by the other, and no longer need to compromise. Falsehood is expected.Preserve Face, avoiding offense.Information Hiding, is expected.Self benefit rather than symmetric benefit is not only…
Is Human Rights A Cultural Thing That Simply Does Not Apply To Cultures That Do Not Support Them? Why Or Why Not?
HUMAN RIGHTS ARE LOGICALLY AND EMPIRICALLY NECESSARY FOR VOLUNTARY COOPERATION. YET VOLUNTARY COOPERATION IS NOT POSSIBLE IN ALL CULTURES.(trigger warning: uncomfortable truths) (a) We tend to conflate consumer capitalism and democracy but they have nothing to do with one another other than that they require extraordinary restraint in the behavior of the population. So when…
On Gossip and Shunning
by Vivek Upadhyay GOSSIP Gossip is a non-correspondent, warranty-free means of enhancing personal status through deploying and extrapolating upon selective information about the person being gossiped about. Through use of loaded statements, jokes, rash impressionistic judgments, etc. in a shared consensus often exhibiting “shared information bias” despite the demonstrable costs of this error, gossipers seek…
The Oath
“[I] shall not lie, cheat, steal, impose costs upon others or the commons, nor shall I let go unpunished those who do.”
To William Kristol
TWEETS TO WILLIAM KRISTOL Possessing Courage is not the same as possessing solutions. Conservatism and universal equal enfranchisement are incompatible. Sentiments do not arguments make. Beliefs not policy make. Moralizing not philosophy make. Counter-signaling is but weakness. Conservatism is counter to the strategy of the mass. Why? It is personally costly, meritocratic, deterministically eugenic. And…

Commons via Externality of Teaching Sacredness
[S]acred rituals (church/temple in particular) reward us with the pack response (spirituality/elation) and inclusive signals in exchange for learning the skill of suppression of our impulses. The most aggressive and demanding ritual is that of islam’s multitude of demands and daily repetitions, the most intellectually demanding judaism, the least demanding and most disorganized christianity, the…

Basta de libros repletos de mentiras
[B]asta de libros repletos de mentiras. Las Vedas fueron inventadas para controlar La Avesta fue inventada para dividir El Talmud fue inventado para engañar La Biblia fue inventada para esclavizar.

British vs American vs German Cultural Rules
[L]eft the video on, and ended up listening to Brits debate policy all night, and it is very clear that there is a difference between the moral structure of British argument and the LEGAL structure of american argument. In my dreams I kept arguing with people about the use of nonsense words. There is also…

Are Human Rights Neo-imperialism?
Lets first state that the question itself is stated uses improper loading and framing. (See writing in EPrime for proper construction of questions. ) A better phrasing of such a question is: “Is the Human Rights Movement an extension of Western Imperialism?” 1) The question depends FIRST upon whether you consider REGIONAL Religious, Political, Cultural,…

The first question of ethics is ‘Why don’t I kill you and take your stuff?’. The first question of politics is “Why don’t me and mine kill you and yours and take your stuff?” The first question of group evolutionary strategy is “How can we either kill them and take their stuff, or prevent them…
Are Human Rights Superior Than Sovereignty?
The question is somewhat interesting since both Human Rights (which are all property rights by the way), and Sovereignty are ambitions one can seek to produce not states of nature that must be abridged. However, the misleading nature of the question aside: The ‘Postwar Consensus’ and the International Charter of Human Rights, were designed to…

We are comfortable now with suppressing lies with physical science where were were not so in the past.
