Set Up The Context.
- I’m Curt Doolittle (brief Background)
- Note for all, book and this presentation to tie back to question of moritz.
- First, an apology. I have done myself, the work, you, and our movement a bit of a disservice. (libertarian, then, association with the hard right, when while our reasoning is conservative – meaning empirical – our solutions are classical liberal to libertarian: a continuation of the germanic > anglo > American tradition of a high trust polity.
- I’m going to try to correct disservice, because we need to correct it.
- We decided over a year ago that we were done with research and development and that it was time to go to market with these conferences, our videos, and very shortly our first book – our first volume in the series.
- We are the culmination of and very likely, something close to the end point of the work from aristotle to aquinas to anglo-scottish enlightenment, to the founders to those great minds of the early 20th who unfortunately failed to counter the Marxist-to woke sequence of pseudoscience, sophistry, fraud, and deceit,
- In historical context, we are as important behavioral science as was darwin in biology. We are the anti-marx, anti-feminine, anti-left, restorers of the western group evolutionary strategy, and it’s spectrum of institutions.
- And we are beginning to see the present age as equal to and a repetition of the Axial age which gave birth to our european and asian philosophical, and south eurasian theological traditions. We cannot go backward – we’ve done that once and created a dark age of ignorance. Instead, we must go forward finding a new means of organizing people at present scales with present economies, technologies, and knowledge of the universe.
- Who are we talking to given that the right is anti-intellectual, and while the libertarians had held the torch for conservative intellectualism, they have crashed and burned on the naivety of their pretense of the nature of man.
- We are, as far as I know, the only conservative and classical liberal intellectuals working today, using any semblance of science as our foundations.
- Why are we really here?
- … Our First conference: introducing ourselves, the science of western civ, and the scope of our solutions.
- … Our Second conference: identifying the enemy, it’s cause, and our failure to suppress it.
- … This is our Third conference … where we take off the mask and explain how to defeat the enemy and it’s strategy – forever.
- So,
- What I hope to show you is a path to victory – possibly the only path to victory – and the impediments to it.
We’re The Engineers. But you need many leaders, and many participants.
Anyone, any leader, or any group, or any combinations of groups, can use our work to bring about a revolution, a reformation, and a restoration of civilization – saving it from an other of authoritarianism, collapse, and dark age.
Our Self-Understanding
In our minds, our mission, is the production of a solution to the crisis of the age, and the creation of an inquisition to prosecute the enemy out of capacity for evil.
What Do I Want To Get Across To You Today?
The Simple Version
Behavioral Economics
- Human beings seek to acquire.
- Human beings do not want to learn a new way to acquire
- Human opportunities become exhausted in a market for opportunities.
- Human expectations exceed the the capacity of the marketplace of opportunities to provide the value expected by the humans.
- Humans unfortunately double down on previous behavior rather than adapt to new opportunities behavior.
- As humans become stressed they will lower their tolerance for irreciprocity (proportionality) and will react rationally: ‘why don’t I kill you and take your stuff’.
- The marketplace is a social expression of networks of cooperation, which generates the social phenom which results in demand for ages of reorganization (discord, crisis, change).
- This is an eternal process unless the polity and society are organized for the continuous discovery of new opportunities which prevent the cycle of discord, crisis, and change)
The Reframing
- People believe history is a natural progression (whig history) or the progressive vision of history.
- History consists of a market that can be manipulated by those who have accumulated the capacity to coerce at scale by verbal (talking classes), remunerative(financial and economic), or force (state, bureaucracy) for good or ill.
- In every civilization the spectrum of elites serve their self interest at the expense of the population by claims of false promise and plausible deniability.
- And our institutions are insufficiently defensive against those despite the efforts of our anglo and american forefathers attempts to prevent the commercial, state, and church interests at the expense of the people.
- We are asking you to reframe your understanding of the world from political or moral bias, theology, philosophy, and ideology biases, into simple terms of it’s irreciprocal and immoral, amoral: Criminal, and reciprocal and moral: virtuous. In other words there is only criminality and non-criminality. It’s not an opinion. It’s not a philosophy or ideology. It’s just a incontestable science of decidability regardless of knowledge, bias, or opinion. Because the opposite is just criminality and war.
A System of Measurement
- As an organization we are introducing the system of measurement, decidability, and accountability that extends the suppression of simple and direct criminality to sophistical and indirect criminality at national and international scales so that we limit ourselves to non-coercive cooperative means.
- You might think this was impossible. That preventing the three classes of elites from manipulation, seduction, false promise, baiting into hazard, corruption, parasitism, sedition, and treason., But it turns ot it’s not. It’s just another incremental increase in the precision of measurement and decidability we call the natural, common, concurrent law of cooperation.
