  • Tripartism and Trifunctionalism

    Feb 6, 2020, 10:48 AM Under Social Tripartism and Elite Trifunctionalism, we find The Scientific and Technical ‘Priesthood’ (The material Universe of those who work) The Juridical ‘Priesthood’ (Via Negativa – actions of Man) – Those who fight The Political ‘Priesthood” (via-positiva – organization of man) – Those who pray While these three forces of…

  • Utility of Religion

    Feb 6, 2020, 6:10 PM By Bill Joslin I think religious utility is easy (He says with 20-20 hindsight after over a year of participation in king of the hill games hahahah.) Its function is to provide graceful failure. 1. High agency/autonomy: rational/reason, consequentialism, calculation 2. Mid agency/limited autonomy: rational, emulation, virtue (qualities to emulate)…

  • Rights

    Feb 6, 2020, 9:07 PM Rights. Rights to self-determination. Rights to bear arms to preserve that right. None may deprive another of the right to self determination, nor the arms necessary to secure it without surrendering that right to self determination him or herself by reciprocity: restitution, punishment, and prevention. We need no other moral…

  • Diversity + Proximity = Conflict

    Feb 7, 2020, 7:52 AM Diversity + Proximity = Conflict —“There is not a single example throughout human history that you can point to to prove that formula wrong over any extended period of time. It’s been tried, it always fails.” —JC Trott   —“Multiculturalism is a euphemism for multiracialism. Multiculturalism doesn’t work and will…

  • Eli Harman’s New Political Spectrum

    Feb 7, 2020, 9:03 AM The Right Radical Centrism Conservatism Centrism Classical Liberalism Libertarianism The Left

  • Diversity Means Division

    Feb 7, 2020, 9:15 AM —“Diversity is synonym for Division and Division’s not a strength it’s a weakness. Strength arises from Unity not Division. Diversity between nations is a strength for humanity, but Division within Nations is a weakness.”–Bic Verger —“Diversity isn’t necessarily synonymous with division, it is however necessarily antonymous to equality.”—Martin Št?pán Equality…

  • Why Engage in Religious Commentary?

    Feb 7, 2020, 9:44 AM —“I’ve been following John Mark for some time now and generally agree with your observations on politics, the media and the way our country is headed and what conservatives need to do about it. However I find you venturing into religious commentary analysis disconcerting especially when it is viewed more…

  • Women’s Movement for Natural Law

    Feb 7, 2020, 9:49 AM —I think it’s better for women to create solidarity with women on ending the program of undermining that women were baited into with the false promise of equality rather than the promise of improving our compatibility under change in the division of labor made possible by the industrial and technological…

  • Building Community

    Feb 7, 2020, 10:05 AM I think you should imitate bill’s technique. We use my feed to identify candidates that you then recruit. After a while you will be able to recruit your own people without my feed. Then once you have ‘got the message down’ enough, make a few dozen videos (it takes that…

  • Democracy Is the Slow Road to Communism

    Feb 7, 2020, 10:07 AM —“Universal suffrage will eventually cause universal suffering.”—Clifton Knox (Democracy is the slow road to communism. -hoppe) –“I am in favor of earned cumulative meritocratic suffrage based on demonstrated generational loyalty (military, political, social, legal, intellectual/scientific, economic, artistic)), investment in the commons, level of leadership, Territorial acquisition and settlement, establishment, leadership…

  • You Create a Movement with Ideas that Sell Themselves

    Feb 7, 2020, 10:09 AM You create a movement with ideas that sell themselves because they provide value to people by solving problems of the age – not by enthusiasm. Inspiration’s half life is 24 hours. A solution’s value lasts as long as there is a market for it.

  • Compatibility Elevates, Equality Reduces

    Feb 7, 2020, 10:40 AM —“Compatibility elevates men and women to their opposite’s strengths. Equality reduces men and women to their opposite’s weaknesses. … This observation of the differences between compatibility and equality applies to all disparate individuals and groups including Genders, Maturity, Generations, Classes, Ethnicities, Nations, Civilizations, or Races.”—Luke Weinhagen

  • The Explanatory Power Is There.

    Feb 7, 2020, 11:28 AM Scott – I don’t understand your post. My work completes the falsificationary method making possible the test of possibility of testimony under performative (deflationary) truth. Popper wasn’t able to get that far. He was partly correct in parsimony but couldn’t define it without market competition. He correctly stated that in…

  • A Little Context for When I Use “monarchy”

    Feb 7, 2020, 12:10 PM The qualities of a king (christian monarch to be precise) have to do with the entire family, not the king himself. And great kings are not what we’re looking for. That’s a via-positiva. We’re looking for constitutional monarchs that handle exceptions and prevent usurpation of power, not those who govern.…

  • What is KOTH?

    —“What is KOTH?”— How I teach. King Of The Hill Game. It’s debate where I state something by taking some position or other that will illustrate a principle or investigate some angle on it. See: https://naturallawinstitute.com/2018/10/21/answering-criticisms/

  • Pay People to Accelerate the Big Sort at The Cost of The State, Academy, Finance, Entertainment Industries

    Feb 7, 2020, 2:56 PM I (we) hold the position that (a) we should be pursuing rights to self determination, and our way of life, and that requires arms just as others require faith. (b) We are tolerant of those that conform to our traditional group strategy, and are inclusive within that limit, but that…

  • They Don’t Want Our Rule

    Feb 7, 2020, 7:46 PM They want proximity to us but they don’t want our rule. Well, great, we don’t want to rule them, but we won’t tolerate their rule either.

  • Anglo Common “Adversarial” Law Persisted for A Reason

    Feb 7, 2020, 9:15 PM —“Depending on the legal market and parties involved, the adversarial nature of law can actually be quite constructive. You come to learn quickly who the honest but zealous advocates are, as opposed to the slimy, deceitful guys trying to hide evidence, defend absurd positions, etc. Especially in small markets, the…

  • You Can’t Stop Noticing

    Feb 7, 2020, 9:22 PM —“I must give you credit, because once you notice the relatively subtle methods of deceit through framing, etc., you can’t stop noticing, and it can be tremendously valuable. Even in legal brief-writing. “Your Honor, notice how they attempted to deceive you by….” … People are too accustomed to thinking of…

  • Vets

    Feb 7, 2020, 10:00 PM There are a lot of vets with issues – maybe most of them. They need organization and purpose but the problem with the current military is that they have been put to imperial rather than national use, forced to fight 4gw in hostile territory, where everyone is some degree of…

  • Via-Negativa Moral Rules (Prohibitions) Are Empirical

    Feb 7, 2020, 10:43 PM Well via-negativa moral rules (prohibitions) are empirical and there is only one: reciprocity within the limits of proportionality. Like rational choice within the limits of rationality. Like truthfulness within the limits of testifiability. That’s just obvious from a study of the history of law across every civilization. What satisfies reciprocity…

  • Science Has Made Anything Other than Deism Impossible

    Feb 8, 2020, 9:05 AM It’s because science has made anything other than deism impossible for rational people, the bible and church dogma unbelievable, and the narratives that attempt to teach lessons irrelevant, absurd, or quaint – precisely because there is only one lesson. That’s before we get to the clergy being unworthy of respect,…

  • Testimony

    Feb 8, 2020, 9:39 AM —“Lots of pro-boogaloo folks and others are looking for solutions. It starts with being pro-second Amendment. Then they identify the enemy.. Then they start looking for Solutions. Only Propertarianism actually offers solutions. For the price that is going to be paid for a chance to fix this wreck, it had…

  • “THE OVERTON WINDOW IS TAKING ABUSE”

    Feb 8, 2020, 9:42 AM by Brandon Hayes Curt: The Overton window is taking abuse. We push on it from the inside so it expands. There are also people on both fringes pulling the edges of discourse from the outside. We’re breaking the window frame; and we ought to. Discourse is all acceptable; it’s certain…

  • . . .

    Feb 8, 2020, 9:47 AM —“Homogeny is closer to equality, but absolute equality only exists as entropy(devolution). What we want is an equilibrium where benefits of division of labor most outweigh the costs of diverging interests.”—Martin Št?pán (This is an example why I spent years at this task. To make new leadership for a new…
