It’s Fking Magic… Really.
Mar 22, 2020, 4:19 PM I mean, seriously, I used to think of a question, go to the library, go thru the card catalog, read through tables of contents, read through bibliographies, use microfilms to search newspapers and articles, and fking write people letters to get information. I had multiple encyclopedias, dictionaries, biographical encyclopedias. I…
A brain seeks to maintain attention. It will do so by whatever means it can.
Mar 22, 2020, 4:40 PM You don’t understand… a brain seeks to maintain attention. It will do so by whatever means it can. There isn’t a lot of conceptual difference between your brain and strings of christmas lights. It wants the lights on. What’s the problem? some of us have better wiring, some of us…
An Essential Insight Into the Status of Our Religions
Mar 22, 2020, 5:39 PM by Tim Beckley I do see this as an essential insight. Christianity could never have maintained a monopoly in the Western market for religious goods and services (ritual, education, etc.). I think one problem preventing this realization in the West is that we were subjected to its belligerence for so…
A Spectrum of Religions
Mar 22, 2020, 7:13 PM STOICISM-EPICUREANISM A (scientific) methodology for self authoring virtues that insulates you from the opinions of others, and a philosophy for living within your means, emphasizing family, friends, and the joys in life. BUDDHISM Faith is defined as serene trust that the practice of the Buddha’s teaching will bear fruit. A…
Intuition Is a Jealous Elephant.
Mar 22, 2020, 8:43 PM I spent years on the analytic, logical, operational, and empirical to climb through the ladder of disciplines one ring at a time, and finally reach the end – religion and aesthetics. And the conversation followed a predictable trajectory. An indifferent “Huh?” to “Yes, yes” enthusiastic engagement. Everyone wanted me to…
The Goal of Freemasonry?
Mar 22, 2020, 8:51 PM by Scott De Warren I don’t see Freemasonry as an attempt to create a masculine rational Christianity so much as an attempt to break down the barriers between the three Abrahamic cults through common ritual, hierarchy, and esoteric symbolism/teaching of man’s potential transcendence rooted in Egyptian, Babylonian, Phoenician temple traditions…
The Case Against and For
Mar 23, 2020, 11:31 AM Rik, This piece helped me understand you a little better. Your book helped me understand you a little better. I finally understand what you are doing and why. And I understand your investment in the literary frame. My question is whether literary frames are causes, justifications, or excuses. Whether we…
The Market For Justifying Low Agency
Mar 23, 2020, 11:54 AM THE MARKET DEMAND IS FOR “AN EXCUSE TO HAVE LOW AGENCY WHILE STILL FEELING GOOD ABOUT MYSELF AND EVEN FEELING SUPERIOR TO OTHERS”. by John Mark I’ve been pondering along these lines, don’t have full answer fleshed out yet by any means. A couple things I’m confident of: Asking Christians…
Everything a (((libertarian))) Says Is a Lie.
Mar 23, 2020, 12:08 PM –“Property is dirived from the axiom of self ownership ie, we own ourselves. External property is defined by labor investment – either direct labor such as, “I made this walking stick” or indirect labor such as “I bought this walking stick” or also indirectly as a title gift as “I…
A European Syncretic Religion Is Possible
Mar 23, 2020, 12:45 PM 1) It is absolutely possible to create a framework for the spectrum of european ‘religions’ and a pantheon. 2) It is absolutely possible to produce a non-false, syncretic, european religion. 3) It is absolutely positively possible to institutionalize those religions – gradually. 4) it is absolutely positively possible to teach…
Libertarians try to escape responsibility and liability to others for the production of Commons
Mar 23, 2020, 12:49 PM LIBERTARIAN > ANARCHO CAPITALISM > NEOREACTION > SOVEREIGNTARIANISM (SOVEREIGNTY) All libertarian thought is lying to avoid the natural law of sovereignty and reciprocity so that libertarians can escape responsibility and liability to others for the production of Commons. All Sovereigntarian thought enforces the natural law of sovereignty and reciprocity so…
Stop the Libertarian Lie
Mar 23, 2020, 12:59 PM You can have a natural interest in your children. You can have a demonstrated interest in yourself, and in your children. If you claim self ownership you are confusing OWNERSHIP with NATURAL INTEREST and DEMONSTRATED INTEREST. You can have a natural interest in something. You can have a demonstrated interest…
The Law
Mar 23, 2020, 1:04 PM Claiming the existence of potential interest, natural interest, and demonstrated interests are true. Claiming the existence of Ownership is a lie. Property is a lie. Property rights is a lie. Potential, natural, demonstrated interests, and possession exist in fact, independent of others. Property and Property Rights, and as a result…
How Many More Years Before We End (((libertarian))) Lies?
Mar 23, 2020, 1:43 PM HOW MANY MORE YEARS BEFORE WE END (((LIBERTARIAN))) LIES? SEE? Sovereigntarians > Classical Liberals > (((Libertarians))) > Sovereigntarians. (((Libertarianism))) is just another attempt to circumvent the universal militia, heroism and excellence, sovereignty and reciprocity, truth and duty, law and jury, markets in everything, and the continuous transcendence of man at…
DEFINITION: Own, Owning, Ownership
Mar 23, 2020, 2:01 PM OWNING The concept of ‘own’ cannot come into existence without others to compete with you for control of something, and as such as a means of enforcement by self, or others, justifying retaliation. Without others: |ACTIONS| I know of something or not > I act to bear a cost of…
Testimony
Mar 23, 2020, 2:02 PM —“Once I realized that military/defense is 1) a collective service and 2) provides value by seemingly preventing its own necessity, the libertarian bubble popped.”—Bobo Laremy CD: military services is also an unsubstitutable good, so no you can’t pay someone to do it for you.
“Economic Crisis: Curt, What About Strategic Industries Like Boeing Going Under?
Mar 23, 2020, 2:40 PM —“I hope you are well Curt. Can I ask, where does P stand on redistributing or Nationalizing corps like Boeing? Obviously it’s a question of Nation Security to have warplanes and such. I don’t like the propping up where the corps have no fear of loss though. Can’t we take…
The European Social Order
Mar 23, 2020, 2:45 PM In a universal military you get a trophy for doing your duty, meaning you get RESPECT for doing your duty even if its cleaning toilets. This is what is different. This is a huge difference. Status is available to everyone. You do not get a trophy unless you are fastest.…
(((libertarians))) are almost more of an impediment to P-type progress than leftists
Mar 23, 2020, 3:26 PM by NJ Gregory It’s paradoxically bizarre because (((libertarians))) are almost more of an impediment to P-type progress than leftists… Because leftists we can just shove out of the way. But the libertarian sect needs more effort and “red pills” to be woken up. Libertarianism is a kind of a political…
Libertarians
Mar 23, 2020, 3:29 PM by Gearóid Walsh It’s sort of like the masculine adolescence period before the arising of paternal feelings for the commons. But there is some feminine baked in there too. 1) Naive true belief in whatever social myth of the given one grows up with -> 2) Individualist, anarchist rebellion, criticism…

The Law on Gouging and Hoarding
Mar 23, 2020, 3:35 PM You may profit from superior achievement in seizing opportunities made possible in the commons we call the market. You may not profit from harm that circumvents the market. Ergo the prohibition on gouging(offense) and hoarding(defense). You can clear inventory (rapidly sell out) at normal rates and prices. You can limit…
Everything libertarians wrote was in pursuit of unearned gains
Mar 23, 2020, 5:00 PM Mises wrote logic of commodities. Learn Hayekian curves instead. Companies don’t need price signals to produce more. They need opportunity to sell more at currently imputed prices. Everything libertarians wrote was in pursuit of unearned gains: parasitism by plausible deniability, as a means of avoiding productivity. Why? Well, if you…
What Are They Trying to Steal?
Mar 23, 2020, 5:02 PM IT DOESN’T TAKE MUCH. WHAT ARE THEY TRYING TO STEAL? Start with any progressive or libertarian premise and try to figure out what they’re trying to steal. It doesn’t take much. Start with any conservative premise and try to figure out what they’re trying to stop people from stealing. It…
Criticizing Conservative vs Libertarian Thinkers
Mar 23, 2020, 5:19 PM Why can’t we criticize conservative thinkers? Because they’re either jurists who didn’t solve the underlying problem, historians that don’t propose any meaningful solutions, moralists that have failed to defeat the false promises of the left, theologians who do nothing but change seats on the sinking ship. It’s easier to criticize…
