  • Nation vs State vs Country

    NATION VS STATE VS COUNTRY Most common errors conflate nation (people), country (territory) and state (government) because the ‘natural’ order is that these are the same: a body of people, the territory they live in and the government they defend and operate it with. HUMAN GROUP individual > family > clan > tribe > nation…

  • The Lies

    [T]he Lies: “I reject, I disapprove, I disagree, I’m wary, I don’t believe, or engaging in ridicule, shaming, moralizing or psychologizing.” None of these are a form of reciprocity: an argument – they’re counter-signaling in lieu of argument. And lacking argument because of one’s ignorance or incompetence. And cowardice in admission of one’s ignorance or…

  • Why South America?

    WHY SOUTH AMERICA? 1. Population of natives and slaves. 2. christianity => increase trust to increase cooperation. 3. church => will to power by the weak. 4. church => high rates of reproduction, mysticism to govern them and anti-empiricism and anti-meritocracy to maintain control over them. 5. high rates of reproduction => underclass poverty 6.…

  • Prosecution Online

    Apr 11, 2020, 1:13 PM [O]ne does not sell a liar – one prosecutes him. You cannot get them to agree. So deny the enemy the field. You can leave them defeated such that they come to their own conclusions. But no man is a hero to his debtors. For a decade now, I’ve taught…

  • More Advocacy of Orthodoxy as A State Religion

  • State Bankruptcy Is Necessary

    [S]tate bankruptcy is a long standing topic in bankruptcy reform, just as the EU is experiencing the problems of the catholic periphery vs the protestant core. It’s not a constitutional issue, b/c it’s one of the most important reasons for the formation of the federal system: unifying bankruptcy laws so interstate commerce and consequent scale…

  • The P Program and Our Purposes

    [B]ill Joslin has always been as interested in the application of P to personal philosophy, as I have been interested in religion (mindfulness), politics, and law.

  • Where Does the Propertarian Party Fit Into the Propertarian Movement?

    By Nathen I have been thinking about where this political party fits into the movement as a whole quote a bit recently. P is fundamentally an intellectual, not political movement, but it has profound political ramifications. I consider myself a Newb so take this for what it’s worth, but my observation is that Curt Doolittle…

  • Market Truth is Terrifying

    Demonic gods are not terrifying except to children. What’s terrifying is market competition and acceptance of our inequality and your status in the market. The solution? Develop alternative markets, not for accomplishment but for adherence.

  • The Dependence on Land and The Variation in Group Strategies

    –“I was working the rather large winter garden this afternoon I have planted with my father. Thinking about the respective Peloponnesian and Delian strategies. It got me thinking about two things. Agricultural productivity / output and the concurrent effervescence of commercial activity, economic growth, and thus civilisational expansion (consider this also in a Rome vs…

  • The Cognitive Origins of Conspiracy and Oppression Theories

    [A] conspiracy theory requires that one attribute incentives that fail the test of occam’s razor, almost always because the individual is a social outlier, and has limited sensitivity to, experience with, or knowledge and understanding of how people operate in large groups. Conspiracy theory is the equivalent of dunning kruger failure of personal assessment, projected…

  • Learning P by Following Posts

      —“I’m a good example of someone who didn’t learn P, just kept following posts and after around 6 months I can follow posts pretty easily. A lot of the operational terms come up consistently and once you’ve looked up ‘demarcation’ a few times, and seen how it’s used you know what it means. Still…

  • Psychologizing (fraud), Psychology (pseudoscience), and Law (truth)

  • Harsh Words on Conspiracy

      Let me tell you how the world works. People who need organizations are not those with power. People who need ‘societies’ are not those with power.

    Eve’s apple, 2. Pandora’s box, 3. The 19th Amendment.

One family one vote was a…

  • The French Have a Monopoly on The Bad Ideas

    (sarcasm) [T]he french have a monopoly on the bad ideas of modernity. It’s sorta down hill after descartes. The ship of state leaks with the prosecution of the protestant business class. It’s a sinking-of-the-titanic by the French Revolution, and the peasantry’s genocide against the aristocracy. … There is no equal to russian literature. There is…

  • Hmmm…. My Promotion of Aristocracy Is Nothing so Simple

      —“My impression is that Curt is rather fond of the power disparity that separated the noble aristocracy from the other people, and that he would rather restore that so that aristocrats would have the time to run the world instead of having to bother defending themselves. One reason he likes ancestor worship is because…
