Um. No. Capitalism Has Existed Forever in The West
(just takes a great deal of rule of law and trade before it has any scale) Western civilization has been making use of capitalism since its inception in pre-history. We can see it in the language artifacts of the period, and in their various archeological remains. We did not invent corporations in the period, only…
Separation or Unification of Religion and Education?
The most difficult problem appears quite trivial. That is, do we and can we maintain the separation of civic education (religion) and economic education (the grammars of calculation), and craftshmanship (the trades), or do we restore the relationship beween civic education, economic eductaion, and craftsmanship? Because this turns out to be a rather difficult problem…
The Cost of Sovereignty: Every Man a Warrior, Sheriff, Insurer
—“It’s a bit unclear but let’s say everybody is a free agent and as such free to do what one wants as long as his actions don’t impose additional costs to somebody else…would that be correct..? “—Antonio Simon Close, but there is a cost (duty) to pay for such a thing, because free agents are…
Dunbar’s Number and Military Orders
—“Dunbar’s Number is a suggested cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships—relationships in which an individual knows who each person is and how each person relates to every other person.”— Roman (Wall) 8 men x 10(80) x 6(480) x 10(4800) (legion) American (Packs) 10 x 4(40) x…
Language Causes Overestimation of Similarities
We all have a will to power, but we also have physical, mental, and emotional resources to obtain it with; and that will is countered by fear and insecurity. Language is as natural as walking. But it causes us to overestimate our similarities. Empathy causes us to overestimate our similarities. Submission causes us to overestimate…
Um. As Always, If It Doesn’t Make Sense, Look for the Costs
Conservatives are more likely to use an adultery site than liberals, and libertarians much more likely than Conservatives. Why? Um. Let me help y’all. It’s COSTS. For libertarians especially, and conservatives in general, interpersonal connections come at higher costs. These web sites effectively suggest that they offer opportunities at lower interpersonal COST. (All behavior is…
Beauty Does Not Indicate Health.
Isn’t this a simple verbalism? Fitness (intertemporal) and Health (Temporal)? Height, Morphology, Symmetry, and shoulder, waist, hip and all other ratios provide an exceptional test of Neoteny / Pedomorphism, which indicate accurate genetic potential. Health is transitory. Skin and eyes and movement tell everything.
The Aphorism and Riddle: Self Equilibrating Knowledge
An aphorism is the penultimate device for the parsimonious conveyance of knowledge. The Chinese lack the concepts and vocabulary to produce aphorisms(science) so they produce ‘riddles'(wisdom). But only the far west and the far east have produced the technique of testable statements that produce competition rather than monopoly. The despotic people have developed monopoly, analogy,…
You Aren’t Thinking Clearly
You aren’t thinking clearly. We have enough underserved men to do it. And enough incentive for them to do it. And enough moral justification to do it. We have means, motive, and opportunity. Numbers are offset by FRAGILITY.
Winning the World: Do It.
What wins in this world. Simple. 1. Internal locus of control. 2. Individual sovereignty (I own me). 3. High Agency. 4. Intolerance. 5. A refusal to seek validation. 6. A refusal to seek approval. 7. The ability to think out to 2nd and 3rd order effects. 8. The ability to understand Requisite Variety — the…
The Two Party System Neutralizes IQ Differences
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160289618300060 • In both the U.S. and Denmark intelligence failed to predict standard party choice. • This was due to opposing effects of intelligence on economic and social ideology. •Denmark’s multi-party system allows non-standard representations of party choice. •In Denmark, significant systematic intelligence differences observed between parties. Intelligence is rarely studied as a predictor of…
Rejecting Brett Weinstein’s Metaphorical Truth
(Same as rejecting Jordan Peterson’s Darwinian Truth) (Same as rejective Mathematical Idealism) (Same as rejecting all fictionalisms – ‘Conveniences’)
—“I have a few questions if you don’t mind.”—
—“I have a few questions if you don’t mind.”— 1) –“Besides Ostrom, what can I read if I want to understand more of the commons?”– Honestly, I don’t think there is else much worth reading. I would read the history of the common law which is in my book list. And I would read my…
Fulfilling Your Needs
The reason you want a narrative and an ideology is so that you can feel in a group and in control in a world where you have none. But the only control you have is over your understanding of that world and your interpretation of that world. So narratives are inhibitors not enablers. Propertarianism (Natural…
The Existence of Gods.
No. You don’t get it. Gods exist the way Socrates (Historically), Siegfried(Mythically), and Gandalf(Fictionally) exist. Given that enough people study the wisdom of that mythos that emotional and intellectual norms develop from the ‘ritualization’, those gods exist in effect on our behavior if not in cause. These gods function as a standard of measurement at…
Sin?
—“Hey Curt, I’ve got a question for you. I was wondering what your thoughts are on the abrahamic concepts of “sin” and “evil”. What are sin and evil to the Aryan, and how is it relevant to natural law?”— A Friend Um. Well, sin is nonsense right? The accumulation of knowledge of your possibility of…

DO FREE MARKET POLICIES HELP POOR COUNTRIES https://www.quora.com/Do-free-market-policies-help-poor-countries/answer/Curt-Doolittle?share=046bc1f0&srid=u4Qv Free Markets are advocated under the presumption that in a world without government interference **comparative advantage** will provide the optimum market for goods, services, and information to everyone. However, this doesn’t turn out to be true. Free-Market is a code word for: 1 – all government non-interference…
Religion Serves as Civic Education
Religion serves as civic education, and ‘education’ as economic education. If we end the falsehoods in christianity, and restore our church to truthfulness, then we can restore education to the church – and remove the state’s influence from it.
Female mode of argument
Female mode of argument: The implied threat of reproductive denial and shaming or harming those who may grant you reproductive access. polluting the market for access to reproductive exercise. The problem is, when the critic’s APPROVAL or DISAPPROVAL is of no value, then… that strategy is meaningless.
1400 Years of Islamic Death Destruction
—“No one sees the terrorist activity of white people around the world”— Waqas Ahmad It’s just 1400 years of islamic death destruction and regression on one hand, and dragging half domesticated animals out of ignorance, superstition, poverty, hard labor, disease, on the other. It’s not complicated. We don’t do terrorism. WE DO WAR, CONQUEST, and…

—“Hey Curt, this might be kind of silly, but you have been on fire lately with some really dense, concise, powerful blurbs I guess I was wondering if you might write some positive affirmations, like a mantra, or something to repeat every morning to kind of self program yourself with the proper attitude to go…
The Iron Law of Oligarchy (rule)
The iron law of oligarchy is a political theory, first developed by the German sociologist Robert Michels in his 1911 book, Political Parties. It claims that rule by an elite, or oligarchy, is inevitable as an “iron law” within any democratic organization as part of the “tactical and technical necessities” of organization. Michels stated that…
Natural Law for Christians
NATURAL LAW FOR CHRISTIANS (repost from 09 Monday Oct 2017) Natural Law: I have no idea what these men think natural law refers to, but in CAN only refer to Reciprocity. Every other reference is just an excuse for parasitism or predation by moral pretense. Revelation: The knowledge gained through the sciences (physical, physiological, natural-meaning…

Separation Is Enough of A Solution
—“Overt action is not always needful for the drastic removal of lower organisms. Very often, if left alone, degenerates cremate themselves. If given control of governmental mechanisms, they immediately commence to grind one another into mincemeat (that is to say, into dividends)” — Redbeard (via Brandon Hayes)
