Something happened around the black sea…
Something happened around the black sea, probably in old Europe, the caucuses, Anatolia or Mesopotamia, and it led to the bronze age. That something had to do with the area serving as the nexus of intercontinental trade. The ‘explosion’ of civilization (meaning technology) radiated from there outward. It is nearly impossible to reach west africa…
Pervert, Perversion – These Are Moral Terms, Not Scientific. But….
These terms – “pervert and perversion” – are moral terms (shaming) used (evolved) in the pre-scientific eras, to inarticulately describe the normative, traditional, institutional and genetic costs of loss-inducing behavior and genetics. Those costs exist. The question is only whether or not we can afford them (temporally), and if we can afford them, what are…
Sorry but Yes, Abrahamic Religions Are the Same as Marxism and Feminism: Same Strategy Different Story
—“Abrahamic religions completely are the opposite of Marxism and feminism. The Bible and Koran repeatedly condemn everything to do with those. I don’t get this Nordic pagan hardon business. “— Mike Samuels Follow me longer. I don’t have time this morning to construct your understanding. Here are a few tips: Nothing to do with nordic…

People Don’t Want to Give Power of Life and Death to Machines…. Here Is Why.
To take a life we demand warranty (accountability) and machines escape it. The only form of restitution for life is life. One may take no action beyond one’s ability to perform restitution. So demand for a life to take a life. Legal Prose Merely Reflects Moral Intuitions. Evolution gave us moral intuitions. we describe those…

—-”Is Marxism the opiate of the envious?”—-
1. Marxism (Boasianism, Marxism, Freudianism, Frankfurt School) consists of a **pseudoscientific** revolt against aristocratic european civilization’s sovereignty, reason, markets, and meritocracy, and is merely a restatement of the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic **supernatural** REVOLT against the great aristocratic civilizations of the ancient world – this time with a false promise of prosperity in search…
—“Men and women are dividing duties”—
—“Men and women are dividing duties”— Um. Women divorce men who split duties. Women demonstrate lower sexual interest in men who split duties. Women have little need for the economic returns of a man if they can obtain child support without providing nesting, care, and sex for a man. Men are more varied than women,…

Existence is Persistence.
—“Existence is Persistence. Only Natural Law persists. Gods are a educational means by which we use Fictional Archetypes to understand and implement said Natural Law in an organized society consisting of people with a distribution of understandings due to age, experience, and ability – be it Pagan aspects or wholesale icons such as the ‘Logos’…
Revolution: If They Win It Is Your Fault and Mine.
Our predecessors were optimistically tolerant of the leftist agenda to destroy western civilization, its history, its institutions of natural law, its meritocracy, its aristocracy, its norms, traditions, unique family structure, and unique values of truth, science, and law. The only reason this is possible is because our grandparents, parents, and we, ourselves, have not,…

The Origin of The Scandinavian Cognate for Knowledge Is a Verb – “the Process Of, or Action of Knowing”.
Well it seems that our ancient ancestors had it right, even if the mediterraneans and medievals made it into an ideal. knowledge (n.) early 12c., cnawlece “acknowledgment of a superior, honor, worship;” for first element see know (v.). The second element is obscure, perhaps from Scandinavian and cognate with the -lock “action, process,” found…
English had maintained Anglo Saxon (germanic < Corded Ware < Yamna(Kurgan)) Law
Sorry, that’s not quite right. English had maintained Anglo Saxon (germanic < Corded Ware < Yamna(Kurgan)) law that evolved significantly during manorialism, such that the relation between the ruler (sovereign), and the freeman (sovereign) was purely contractual – and that his “rights as an Englishman” (his sovereignty) as they were later expressed, were consistent regardless…
You Can’t Get Around the Problem.
Rule of Law, or Social Democracy, or National Socialism, or World Communism. Um. Labor costs are regional and national, while market prices are global. With ‘free trade’, arbitrage means that we seek lower prices and higher consumption at the cost of redistribution of employment from advanced to advancing countries. How you interpret that fact is…
A Country’s Wealth Can Be Measured by How Long It Can Survive Democracy,
—“Just as a country’s wealth can be measured by how long it can survive democracy, same applies to socialism. Resource rich countries can survive longest on it, but those that focus on preserving the most important resource – high performing human types – can survive it indefinitely.”— Steve Pender
“Might makes rights.”
—“You have no right…”— Rights are determined by men with guns, swords, and spears. In then absence of reciprocity men have no incentive to produce rights – they have the opposite incentive. “Might makes rights.” That’s just a truism.
Eugenicists were right.
—Eugenicists were right. There is only one route to permanent prosperity and that is the reduction of the unproductive classes. The bottom is 6x more damaging than the top is productive, and in an evenly rotating economy (no major asymmetries of technology) which the world is approaching, the size of the underclasses will determine the…

On the Matter of American Police
There are a number of serious problems with current legislation: 1) The production of stress and vulnerability: The use of single officers in patrol cars, rather than pairs or more of officers of different ranks patrolling together. The consequence is more violence because officers are under greater stress, because they are under greater risk. If…

SMART: WHY THE EASTERN VALUE OF ORTHODOXY —“Orthodoxy came before any written culture or urbanism had take root in those regions.
