Commensurability and decidability between individuals
—“Without shared mythology, values, rituals, signals, institutions, language, culture, and kinship …. without some local commonality in these, there is no commensurability or decidability possible between individuals, and no coincidence of interests, and therefore no cooperation, only conflict.”— Eli Harman Eli hitting it out of the park on that one.
*Always Use Series*.
Tip that some people get and some people fail to get: *Always Use Series*. —“mythology, values, rituals, signals, institutions, language, culture, and kinship”— —“ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism, fictionalism, and deceit”— —“murder, violence, theft, fraud, free riding, socialization of losses, privatization of the commons, conspiracy, statism, conversion, immigration, conquest”— —“Idealism, abrahamism, pilpul vs…
Single Mothers Data: I Try, but Sometimes I Don”t Succeed.
—“Evidence seems to suggest that children with single mothers grow up to be a menace whereas children with single fathers grow up just fine.”—Alba Rising Um… that’s not the case. It’s that single mothers are at much higher risk of unstable environments and higher risk of insecure (guilty) mother’s psychology affecting children negatively than single…
The Animal Majority Provides Survival by Incremental Graceful Failure
The evolutionary reason some of us have agency and most of us do not, is because reason is subject to temporal failure, and information is subject to intertemporal failure, and instinct provides a very successful method of graceful failure. Meanwhile selection for success of those with agency allows others to adopt new knowledge and understanding…
The First Rule of Education: The Production of Agency
—“To be of a sound mind for logical reasoning requires control of emotions. This control of the emotions begins with control over the body. Control of the body is obtained by fitness: stresses, trial, and error. The sequence by which we develop our agency is physical>emotional>mental.”— John Mattison
The Shift from physical constraint, to economic constraint, to credit constraint, to informational constraint.
We always have had prisoners (prisons), slavery(military), serfdom(labor), freedom(middle class), liberty (professional class), and sovereignty(political class). We still have all those things. We have just shifted them from physical constraint, to economic constraint, to credit constraint, to informational constraint. All that changes is that it is far cheaper to rule people by each generational evolution…
. . .
—“Ball as in ‘sphere’ comes from Norse ‘b?llr’ /b?l?r/, while ball as in ‘dance party’ comes from Latin ‘ballare’, which in turn became ‘bal’ (French for ‘a dance’). Totally different roots, it’s just one of those quirks of English having absorbed bits of so many different languages.”—
The Chinese Created Their Cultural Revolution with Violence and Political Intent
THE CHINESE CREATED THEIR CULTURAL REVOLUTION WITH VIOLENCE AND POLITICAL INTENT. WE DID IT WITH A SELF ORGANIZING MARKET – WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM THAT DIFFERENCE? Their ‘Cultural Revolution’ involved granting liberal tolerance to defectors, then rounding them up and brutally killing them in the streets. A uniquely Chinese degree of practical political violence.…
Rule of Law Produces Trust, and Trust Produces Opportunity for Risk
—“Many people keep deploring the low level of formal education in the United states (as defined by, say, math grades). Yet these fail to realize that the new comes from here and gets imitated elsewhere. And it is not thanks to universities, which obviously claim a lot more credit than their accomplishments warrant. Like Britain…
Optimum Age
—“The optimum age for fertility for women begins at the age of 18 but a woman is at her most fertile during her early 20s and there is the lowest risk of miscarriage (9.5% between ages 20 and 24 and 10% between ages 25 and 29).”— I love that eastern european women have children early.
We Are Living in An Interregnum (postmodernity)
—“We should be aware that we are living in an interregnum (postmodernity), a period of waiting during which destiny hangs between two options: either to complete the triumph of the egalitarian conception of the world (the end of history), or to promote a historical regeneration.”— Daniel Gurpide (CD: Agreed)
DEFINITIONS: THE NATIONALISM GLOBALISM SCALE
NATIONALISM (Markets)(Packs)(Male Strategy)(K): (Self Preservation, Self Evolution.) Physical separation of a people of common kinship, norms, traditions, values, and mythos by geographic boundary, and the creation of institutions that maximize the commons for their competitive and evolutionary benefit. SECESSIONISM (Self Defense) Physical Separation by geographic boundary and the creation of new institutions of cooperation. SEPARATISM…
There Is No Reason or Agency Among Animals.
Speech provides the illusion that the rider controls the elephant, when in fact, there are very, very, few of us whose elephants correspond to reality, and as a consequence so do our riders. There is a reason that the animals do not argue rationally – because they lack agency, and because they lack agency, they…
The Academy Like Hollywood Produces Worse Work Products than Individual Craftsman in Either Industry
Um. helps to keep in mind that the academy provides funding for thought and obviously subsidizes bad thought. Whereas thought leadership in history did not come from the academy but from wealth sufficient for literacy and time for study. In other words, it is not clear that the academy produces better intellectual work products than…
Now We Are Resolved … to War
—“Now are we well resolved, And by God’s help and yours, Play the noble sinews of our power, Ours being the West, And The West being Ours, We’ll bend it to our will Or break it all to pieces. Either there we’ll sit, Ruling in large and ample finery Over The West and all her…

—“For the temples to our Fathers, and the ashes of our Gods.”— The original author misspoke.
They Hath Gambled a War
—“We are glad the Enemy are so pleasant with us. Their threat, and our pains we thank them for. When we have matched our hearts and sinews to these Arms, We will in The West, by God’s grace, play a match That shall strike their Jester’s crown into the hazard. So, tell Them they hath…
Copernicus’ Children and Galileo’s Children
Copernicus’ Children Copernicus never married and is not known to have had children, but from at least 1531 until 1539 his relations with Anna Schilling, a live-in housekeeper, were seen as scandalous by two bishops of Warmia who urged him over the years to break off relations with his “mistress”. His sister Katharina married the…
Comparison of Indian and Western Group Strategies
(offensive argument warning) (excerpt from section 6 “Gloom and Doom”…) —“But while the purpose of Abrahamism has always been to subvert society from the inside, undermining the aristocratic class with guilt and bad conscience while stirring up the underclasses, the strategy of Yoga and Buddhism has been different. The minority Hindu upper caste created a…
The Geometry of Meaning : The Demand for Narrative
From the series: math/logic > science > philosophy > religion we can construct the series: physical > mental > emotional, and the series: logic > description > fiction, and the series: associable > reasonable > calculable > computable. and we can use them to calculate the series: lack of agency > potential agency > demonstrated…
Secession Lets Us Exit Our In-Group Leftists (traitors)
There are plenty of traitors among us. Secession allows us to separate from in-group opponents and out-group opponents as well. Think of it this way: we can spend time, effort, and resources, to regulate, and another thousand years trying to breed out their behavior – or we can simply leave them behind and let them…
The Fallacy of Liberal Academic Achievement
—“What I always tell people who cite more “educational achievement” among liberals, besides what this article said about how universities are really indoctrination centers, is that there is a repolarization at the top that mirrors the 50/50 split amongst the general population. Intelligence is a predictor of leftist leanings until you hit the the top…
Bend Nature to Our Will
Western Aryan Man seeks to bend nature to his will, and leave the world transformed for the better for having lived in it. We are the gods we imagine. 😉
Revolt, Separate, Prosper, Speciate
“Revolt. Separate. Prosper. Speciate.” We have nothing to sell, only violence to impose. The cataclysm is trivially easy to accomplish. No empire in history has ever been so fragile with so many hyenas nipping at its heels. The rats have nowhere to flee.
The Differences Between European Legal Codes Whether Germanic, Hellenic, or Roman Differed in Little Other than Scope of Cooperation.
THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN EUROPEAN LEGAL CODES WHETHER GERMANIC, HELLENIC, OR ROMAN DIFFERED IN LITTLE OTHER THAN SCOPE OF COOPERATION. (Note that Rik Storey deleted my comment on the site.) The argument that early governments were stateless is specious (questionable). The state existed and is referenced throughout the literature. Applications of the law (“laws”) evolve with…
