The Poverty of Evolas Sophisms and Moralisms
Trying to find Evola quotes that contain any material content is searching for needles in haystacks. I can find some. But not many. Why? He cannot define the words he uses. So he is relying upon suggestion and demand for substitution by the reader. The reader, providing that substitution, is therefore is firmly convinced that…
Silly old men try to restore the past.
—“A doctrine of the state can only propose values to test the elective affinities and the dominant or latent vocations of a nation. If a people cannot or does not want to acknowledge the values that we have called ‘traditional’, and which define a true Right, it deserves to be left to itself. At most,…
Reminder of What I Do Here
REMINDER OF WHAT I DO HERE “Let a thousand nations bloom” I don’t do racism. Every group can transcend, by sovereignty, reciprocity, truth, duty, and markets in everything. The net effect must always produce incrementally eugenic populations, that continuously limit the reproduction of the lower classes, allowing the working, middle and upper classes to gradually…
Taleb and Doolittle
TALEB AND DOOLITTLE (worth repeating) And Taleb is the counter to Keynesian Probabilism, the same way I am counter to Marxist, Boasian, Freudian, Frankfurt School, Postmodern pseudoscience and pseudo-rationalism. And there are very few of us working on ending the 19th-20th century’s experiment with ‘new mysticism’. Taleb = truth in probability. (anti-innumeracy – numbers )…
Is Natural Law a Cult?
(Literally, the one ‘true’ religion?) —“Propertarianism and Testimonialism are made up religions.”— Joseph Kane Um…. Testiness aside… You might argue that putting the Natural Law of reciprocity of Sovereign Men above all other considerations is just science, or you might say that choosing that science is equivalent to a religion. I wouldn’t disagree with you…
Learning Propertarianism Takes A Lot of Reading
Retweeted Adherent of Columbia (@A_Of_L_Columbia): As someone who read the entire summary page of propertarianism, YOU WILL LEARN TO LOVE READING, OR YOU WILL UNDERSTAND NOTHING ABOUT IT.
Operational Language Expressing Science:
OPERATIONAL LANGUAGE EXPRESSING SCIENCE: THE LEAST FALSE METHOD OF REACHING ROME —“Science is both the method of inquiry and the body of knowledge gained by that method’s application. A priori knowledge applies only to the abstract, once it interacts with the real world the test of any tool or paradigm is how effective it is…
Split of Germanic and Slavic languages just before 3000 BC
—“Linguists date the split of Proto-Indo-European dialects into what would become Germanic and Slavic languages to just before 3000 BC, which is incidentally around the same date geneticists point to as the calculated split of the paternal haplogroup R1a1a (R-M417) into specific Germanic and Slavic subclades. The R1a1a lineage is associated with human remains of…
Why We Get It Wrong: ‘Ableness and Agency’
That’s why we always get it wrong: only SOME of us want sovereignty, liberty, and freedom. Most all humans instead want security and subsidy. Which is ok. As long as they don’t have say in anything.
Christians Call It “testifying” Because It Sounds Better than “lying.”
Eli Harman June 14, 2017 · Christians call it “testifying” because it sounds better than “lying.” But words actually mean things. And properly speaking one can only “testify” about what is in one’s personal, first hand, knowledge, which never includes stories about life after death and rarely includes those about supposed events, miraculous or mundane,…
Thor’s Oak
—“Donar’s Oak (Thor’s Oak) (Donnar=Thundee) was a legendary ancient tree sacred to the Germanic tribe of the Chatti, ancestors of the Hessians, and one of the most important sacred sites of the pagan Germanic peoples. According to the legend the tree stood at a location near the village of Geismar (today part of the town…
End the 19th. Never Open the Box Again…
. I am, unfortunately, firmly convinced, that women vote for whomever they are least not attracted to – and like everything else, merely justify it. Those who vote by party, vote economically. Pandora was the horror the ancients warned us of. Never repeat the error of enfranchisement of women again, outside the scope of home…
Revolution: Weapons do not increase in scarcity as does ammunition.
No matter how good it is, it’s no good without ammunition. And 600 rounds is the minimum you’ll need to both use, and get replacement for it. So, you need that inventory. Because you won’t have time to buy it, and the shelves will be empty when you need it. Accumulate.
It’s the Lack of Orderliness.
—“Conservatives are more orderly, and therefore less likely to mix anything up, including race, sexuality etc. Liberals are more open to experience, which is often correlated with high IQ, but it’s not the high IQ that makes them less prejudiced, it’s the lack of orderliness.”—Joel Harvey
Hierarchy of Law
HIERARCHY OF LAW …. Natural Law (reciprocity) vs …. …. Law (findings of judges ) vs …. …. …. Legislation (commands that violate that law ) vs …. …. …. ….

The Failure of Paradigms (ways of Thinking)
There is a reason the world is continuously coalescing to the vocabulary and grammars of science: and that is because of the commensurability and therefore falsificationary value of the single most parsimonious vocabulary and grammar consisting entirely of continuous relations from the very small below human scale, through to human scale, to the very large…
Tribes of The Right
(high openness AND high orderliness) —“It seems to me that we high-openness right-wingers (like those of us attracted to Curt), who are a subset of the high-IQ right-wingers, are trying to drag the rest of the conservatives rightward kicking & screaming. We see “outside the box” truths more readily. Thus normie conservative: “No more illegal…

THE RULE OF THREES: Three minutes without oxygen Three days without water Three weeks without food NOW ADD: three hours of power three days of water three weeks of food. three months of order. three years of habitual memory. Police, fire, and emergency are staffed for steady state, not extremes. Local extremes require national resources.…
Pandora’s Box of Democracy
There are always weak men. They are never sufficient in numbers, and easily shamed by the strong. There are however far too many weak women, and they will not be shamed by the strong, only doubling-down on their impulses. As such, opening Pandora’s Box by the inclusion of women into the process of political decisions,…
You Are Not Special
by Brandon Hayes We instill the expectation of success without the subsequent struggle. When we do this early in children’s lives we set them up for failure; or more specifically with no tools to deal with failure (the inevitable kind). [a graduation speech entitled “You Are Not Special” sounds like the perfect speech and message]…
An Alternative Economic Order …
Athens (and Rome for that matter) was policed by young aristocratic males as part of their duty of service. Aristocrats had to rotate offices. Nobility performed ceremonies. Men earned the franchise (right to own land) through military service. Men who owned land were required to provide military service. When I was in Ukraine, during the…
The Adaptability of Women and A Lesson for Men
The specialty of women is their ability to adapt to whatever local condition is necessary, whether it be her children, the women who she supports and is supported by, the micro polity she is constrained within, the macro polity she is constrained within – the polity consisting of the constraints of men. Men cannot do…
“SHORT BUS” ( Russkiy: ?????? ??? )
In America, the ‘disabled’ (retarded) children used to be (and maybe still are), herded to and from school in a ‘short bus’ which is literally.. a short bus. —“The idea of ‘riding the short bus’ is used in American English in much the same way that ?????? ??? (yellow house) is used in Russian as…
Notes on Sean Gabb’s “new” Book: Radical Coup.
Reading Sean Gabb’s new book. “Radical Coup: A Case for Reaction” (SUMMARY: Sean writes a typically british apologetic series of essays trying to find a graceful way of making british libertarians into conservatives. It’s ok. But I have some insights to add that are … less apologetic and more direct and critical.) It’s not a…
Crossing Lines…
There is a line between funny and witty, and another between witty and stupid, and another between stupid and aggravating. Do you know where those lines are? I do. Don’t try to be funny or witty unless you’re actually making some substantial point. Otherwise you just wasted seconds of my life to load, read, get…
