Here. I’ve combined Kashif’s experiential and my operational diagrams. Personally I simply see one axis and three implementations: 1) reproductive strategy, 2) vocabulary, and 3) temporality. We all justify our reproductive strategies. Our reproductive strategy biases our temporal perception in the division of perception, cognition, negotiation, advocacy, and labor. Our Grammar expresses our…

“You must never ever ever generalize about Muslims on the basis of the behavior of some of them. But that’s precisely what you must do in the case of gun owners.” -Kenneth Allen Hopf In other words, a double standard is a violation of reciprocity and under natural law is a crime.

Saw Blade Runner opening night. Just as I saw the original opening night. Proper (slow) pace. Long enough. I wish more movies were given this much screen time. Most of the time it’s a gorgeous feast for the eyes. But, the palette is diluted, it lacks the Gothic detail of the original’s Los Angeles. Too…

I see why you are a leader and not in politics. “The successful politician owes his power to the fact that he moves within the accepted framework of thought, that he thinks and talks conventionally. It would be almost a contradiction in terms for a politician to be a leader in the field of…

All publicity is good publicity. Seek controversy. Controversy spreads discourse. Criticism breeds opportunity.

Everyone seeks an evolutionary strategy that increases their potential for the consumption of opportunities. They do not seek truth. Some of us seek truth because it increases our potential for the consumption of opportunities. The difference is that some opportunities are physical, some reproductive, some material, some experiential, and some intellectual, and intellectuals prefer accumulating…

From Curt Doolittle on VK.com Oliver Westcott Asks: —“Is Propertarianism a preference for liberty (property and markets in everything) under a system of natural law? (in which case it seems most of what you do is argue for natural law. Not Propertarianism per se.) Or, is Propertarianism the only way to sustain an…

—“Curt, I’m a bit surprised to see you answer that journalist the way you did. I would have expected you to be highly sparse with information, particularly pertaining to the purpose, economics, and success of the event. But what most surprised me is that you would post it on social media.”— A Friend This…

—“the American Enterprise Institute noted the wide gap in marriage rates by income. About a quarter of “poor” adults aged 18 to 55 are currently married, while 39 percent of working-class adults and 56 percent of middle- and upper-class adults are married.”–

ST LOUIS. The people who lost their empire next most quickly, were the people least willing to kill to maintain it (british). The people who lost them next most quickly were those who tried to maintain them cheaply(french). The people who lost them next most quickly were those who ran them poorly (russians, mongols). The…

–“Technology is a way of organizing the universe, so that man doesn’t have to experience it.”– Max Frisch Let me correct the poet: *Technology is a means of controlling the universe so that man doesn’t have to be a victim of it.* The weak speak as the weak do: submission is everywhere.

—“People like Curt are the problem and not part of the solution.”— A Critic All: I don’t really have any technical critics. I kind of doubt I will ever see those any more than Aristotle, Machiavelli, Hume, Darwin, Menger, and Hayek saw technical critics. I have that I know of only non-technical critics. Most fall…

National Socialism: Defensive Strategy: Monopoly High Culture, Industrialized production of commons, Public limits on and cooperation with Industry, Private commerce, Not autarkic but highly nationalist trade biases.

—“My question concerns technical and scientific language rather than colloquial language: I would like to ask if there is any inclination in English to give the words class and category more or less different meanings or shades of meaning, or are they completely interchangeable in all kinds of use?”— From Elsewhere You CLASSIFY things that…

“What is the difference between postmodernism and Christianity? None. They’re both for the purpose of making false promises to the underclasses so that they use their numbers to destroy the aristocracy and create a dark age.” —Curt Doolittle

THE VIRTUOUS CYCLE OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION Martial Risk Produces Reward. Opportunity for Reward produces Heroism. Martial Heroism produces Meritocracy. Meritocracy produces Sovereignty. Sovereignty produces Natural Law. Natural law produces markets. Markets produce Prosperity. Prosperity increases competitiveness. Competitiveness decreases martial risk.

Well, what we call consciousness: that continuous change in state between perception, search(perception-memory-prediction), focus, impulse, decision, and action – serves almost entirely as ‘the search for opportunities’ for acquisition of the host of things that are valuable to us. It’s not complicated. I am not sure why consciousness is so hard to understand. It’s not.…

1 – Communism: no state, people engaged in production, democratically decide how to allocate each according to his need. 2 – Socialism: total state ownership, with all income by redistribution. 3 – Fascism: Mixed private public ownership, with strict limits on commerce and behavior, such that maximum income is devoted to the production of commons.…

“Dividends for Descendants” is what civilization really is. Does an act or policy produce it or not? If it doesn’t, it is counter to civilization (does not produce a surplus). – Steve Pender

—“What do believe is the qualitative difference between human and animal language?”—Bob Robertson As far as I know animals do not possess language, it only exists within humans. All other creatures merely manage to communicate. Charles Hockett (1967) introduced a generally accepted check list for language, a set of features that all human languages possess.…

POWER AND VOICE Laconic speech is a luxury of power. The spartans could speak as such because they mastered and made universal, martial epistemology. Most speech is either political or deceptive. The spartans needed neither. Seek power for the freedom to speak laconically. Laconic speech requires deep knowledge of the subject, extraordinary honesty, extraordinary insight,…

As far as I know, Universities filter but don’t educate. Fraternities like universities filter further on sociability. Sports like Fraternities select you further on teamwork. Charities like fraternities select you further on service. Universities are meaningful for selecting you. Fraternities are meaningful for selecting you. Sports are meaningful for selecting you. IQ, Industriousness, manners(class), sociability,…

Nationalism: If you cannot hold a territory (country) and form a state( monopoly) then the market for territorial monopoly has spoken: you are a failed people. A Country, meaning a State, either serves nation tribe clan and family, or it destroys nation, tribe, clan and family. It’s not that a state is a bad thing.…
