Kilts Are Proper Male Attire (really)
I got married in proper highland dress thank you very much and have until recently kept my own kilt. The kilt is the ultimate form of male dress for a host of reasons both biological and practical. And a warm sporran serves as a reasonable cup. (Trossachs Church, Trossachs, Calendar, Scotland. Wedding photos at Edinburgh…
Aesthetics: European vs. Abrahamist
By Daniel Gurpide Art is the celebration of life, and the exploration of life in all its aspects. If life is unimportant—a mere diminutive prelude to the real life which is to begin with death—then art can only be of negligible importance. Greek humanism was superseded by Christianity: by a religion which divided man against…
Cultural Differences in Male Conflict
The duel for honor vs sniping for harm. We have see from thousands of video examples, that black culture habituates and promote ‘sniping’ (sucker punching), ganging-up, beating-while-down, and worse, beating while unconscious. This is antithetical to white culture, that has habituated the duel for thousands of years. In the white history of the duel, two…
—“Curt: Please Resolve This Dispute. Does Chili Have Beans?”—
(humor) Um. I will debase myself for my fellow males and answer this question: a chili is determined by the use of chili powder. Chili with Meat in sauce refers to a stew. The stew is often colloquially shortened to “chili”. Chili with Meat stew can be extended most commonly with tomatoes, with beans, with…
Aesthetics and Post-Modernism
by Daniel Gurpide Multiculturalism also leads directly to the death of beauty in art. Different cultures have vastly different ideas of beauty. Michelangelo did not produce African masks. Chopin did not write rap or beat on hollow logs. John William Waterhouse and Jackson Pollock inhabited very different inner worlds. In a multicultural society, standards and…
This Fracas Ought to Get Interesting
https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/netanyahu-absolves-hitler-of-guilt-1.5411578 “Netanyahu: Hitler Didn’t Want to Exterminate the Jews” (As far as I know it’s true. the original plans were relocation. I do not know what altered that plan other than the economics of warehousing and resettlement. Hitler often took the lead from Stalin, and Stalin had been extremely successful with the use of relocation.…
Defining Postmodernism
Postmodernism evolved in response to the failure of marxism socialism – a dogma which was pseudoscientific, and evidentially failed. Having to abandon pseudoscience, Postmodernism attacks reason directly stating that there is no truth and argument – only power. So in effect all debate is meaningless and the only objective is power by any possible means.…
Aesthetics and Eugenics
by Daniel Gurpide In 1920, Knight Dunlap, President of the American Psychological Association, published “Personal Beauty and Racial Betterment. “ Dunlap’s thesis is that what is called personal beauty really inspires the emotional appreciation of the many qualities that make an individual a fit and healthy parent for a fit and healthy next generation of…
Religions (initiatic Brotherhoods) Are Good if Not Necessary – the Abrahamic Ones Are Bad.
—“That post-modernism is a plague thee is no question. That it can be compared to Abrahamism I have doubts… It also violently attacks Abrahamism (well, religion as a whole). It seems odd that it would repeat Jewish, Christian, and Islamic destruction of the the ancient world in the “modern world”? Since the modern world itself…
Definition of “abrahamism” in Natural Law
(repost) In our Glossary of Natural Law “Abrahamism” refers to the argumentative technique of using Pilpul (via-positiva), and Critique (via-negativa) to construct sophisms (the argumentative equivalent of numerology and astrology) via use of loading, framing, suggestion, obscurantism, overloading, the Fictionalisms, appeals to reasonableness, and false promise, to create hazards. All three Abrahamic Religions, Kantian philosophy,…

ATTACK AND COUNTER ATTACK by Andy Lunn Postmodernism is an evolution of Abrahamism: |REVOLTS| Monotheism > Marxism > Postmodernism All three are underclass revolts against the dominant class; All three are attacks against western technologies of reason > enlightenment (empiricism) > science. We engage over millennia in attack and counter attack. The weapons change but…
They cannot be made commensurable.
—“The West’s egalitarianism and loss of noblesse oblige: Atheists amongst the elite will attack the concept of religion on a whim, because they don’t need it, not considering they have a duty to society by virtue of their position, and different people have different needs to function optimally.”—Graham Davies my only comment is that once…
Legal Differences
Ashkenazi Volition independent of externalities. -vs- Western Reciprocity inclusive of externalities.
Operationalism was sitting there and they had all the pieces…
It’s a book length treatment. But you know, hayek, popper, turing all came out at about the same time. Mises, brouwer, and bridgman about the same time. With chomsky then mandelbrot and minsky following. I am not sure who understood the work of whom. But in retrospect I can see the convergence. Operationalism was sitting…
The Saudi – Us – Iran Relationship
Washington is Saudi Arabia’s mercenary force by Aaron Kahland —“Iran is run by Shia fundamentalists. Shia Islam arose and was influenced by the moderating force that was Zoroastrianism. Iran’s Islamic revolution was a national-liberation struggle against the puppet-like regime of the Shah – who was installed by the CIA – as we now know for…
The Last Word on Equality
We are no different from any other domesticated animal. We control domesticated animal’s reproduction and evolve them for cooperation with us (use by us). We control human animal’s reproduction and evolve them for cooperation or not. The difference between groups is mostly sexual dimorphism, sexual maturity, and size of the underclass in relation to the…
Thoughts on The German Postwar Theory: Ordoliberalism?
—“Is ordoliberalism an effective economic theory in your opinion? Why/why not?”— https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordoliberalism THE CORRECT ANSWER Ordoliberalism refers to the state-private alliance used by Germans after world war two. The premise is for the state to extend the market such that it provides desired goods and services rather than to take over the market for the…
Vacher de Lapouge
by Daniel Gurpide Vacher de Lapouge was the French founder of a school – Anthroposociology – which wanted to apply the new Darwinian science of evolution to the study of politics. Before WWI, he had followers in Germany, Italy, Spain, Norway and the USA. I don‘t think Lapouge was ever translated into English, despite his…
Universal Suffrage Is Incompatible with Freedom
by Steve Pender The founders accepted democracy only because they had set what they thought were sufficient restrictions to prevent past problems of democracy. Only white (the same stock as the founders), male (those who bear the cost of land ownership/defense), landowners (skin in the game, proven interest in long-term settlement, majority of taxpayers) could…
Every Man a Sheriff
—“People who, in observing a crime in progress, scold civilians for using force to stop it, say “just call the cops, don’t shoot them”. But, at what point of destruction would you still hold that passive view? Would you say just call the fire department if you saw someone about to start a huge brush…
Let Me Help: Understanding the Basics of Art
DIMENSIONS OF MEASUREMENT There are three dimensions of art criticism: – Craftsmanship (includes materials) – Design (the play of order(composition) and bounty(beauty) and perception) – Content (the content and values of that content) All art can be judged by triangulation (comparison) along these three axis. There is no possible cardinality to art but ordinality can…
John Mark on Marketing Market Fascism as The Next Step in Democracy
—“As we market/promote a new and improved governmental system with propertarian/natural law tenets etc, is it wiser to speak of it (market/promote/educate) as “a new form of democracy” (and explain the part about houses/markets etc), or to call it something else (because obviously full franchise democracy doesn’t work, and we don’t want people thinking it…
Modern Art – the Art Movement After the Invention of Photography Through the End of The First World War
MODERN ART – THE ART MOVEMENT AFTER THE INVENTION OF PHOTOGRAPHY THROUGH THE END OF THE FIRST WORLD WAR A couple of things happened that we need to take into account. 1 – Photography destroyed the artists capacity to earn just like photoshop destroyed the art supply business (which I was a significant player in)…
Platter Painting Is Decoration Not Art – and Thats Why Its Ok
I’m actually a fan of splatter painting since I recognize it not as art but as decoration. I don’t consider tattoo’s art, nor the decoration of dinner plates art, and I don’t consider splatter painting art, but decoration. And as decoration of the modern postwar apartment it served its purpose. Postwar art in particular, due…
Aesthetics: Art > Decoration > Craft
AESTHETICS: ART > DECORATION > CRAFT We have evolved these disciplines for very obvious reasons: – Art (The social, and Monumental, content). – Decoration (the personal and environmental) – Craft (the material) More is always better. – More content. – More decoration – More craft Why? They represent the accumulation of intellectual (art), emotional (design)…
