It’s like going back to school… okay, not LIKE it, it IS going back to school – and learning a new subject. I’m reading English, but it feels like a foreign language – having to re-read…

Mar 5, 2020, 1:25 PM —“What would be the propertarian view on lending with interest?

Mar 5, 2020, 9:46 PM Every social order creates a game. Western civlization demands sovereignty – the antithesis of submission. The game is that we must find ways to govern by limits without imposing on sovereignty. So where most civilizations and moral codes are constructed of via positiva directives at the cost of innovation and…

Mar 5, 2020, 10:24 PM Climate will exacerbate global power shifts, and nothing will be or can be done without dramatic population reduction. Nationalism is the norm and it’s returning in force because (a) there is no possible replacement for the British-cum-American empire of the seas; and (b) because there is no longer any value…

Mar 5, 2020, 10:37 PM by Alex Hill —“Many of the guys I served with immediately did security contracting after we got out. I’d much rather have the National Guard disbanded, and a local militia structure for veterans returning home fall into leadership positions, should they chose, for volunteer service at home. I think a…

Peter’s (correct) take is that the…

For … if they don’t need you for your financial support, that must mean they want you for emotional support.

IF YOU DON’T WANT TO SEE THE RELIGIOUS SAUSAGE BEING MADE THEN STAY OUT OF THE KITCHEN Christianity is becoming a third world religion of the underclasses, and disappearing from the POLITICAL and social basis. Christianity is TRANSMITTED as a superstitious falsehood that prevents the evolution of a natural religion. Christians like you (but not…

Mar 6, 2020, 10:06 AM I have known about this theory for a few years, because I follow WItten’s work. It is the most believable AND most terrifying explanation of the universe’s ending, because it corresponds to spooky action at a distance, meaning that collapse of the universe would be as rapid as expansion of…

Mar 6, 2020, 10:54 AM Is Faith is understandable(a rational choice) or reasonable (a justifiable choice)? Well, again, three human faculties; 1. intuitionistic(intuitable), 2. reasonable(justifiable, explicable), and; 3. physical-material(action, decidable, true). Agency increases as we move forward in brain dominance.

Mar 6, 2020, 4:40 PM —“Curt, How do we solve the incel problem? Do we must accept as a natural fact that 80% of women go to 20% of men?”– That’s not true. It’s that 30% of men are less desirable b/c they’ve been deprived of necessary male training, education, and fraternity in order to…

Mar 6, 2020, 5:09 PM Races aren’t smarter or dumber. Races, subraces, tribes, and clans have larger or smaller underclasses that shift the distribution downward, producing demand for norms at the median. The three exceptional peoples of modernity have merely culled their underclasses: Ashkenazi, Europeans, and East Asians by climate, farming, land provision, credit provision,…

Mar 6, 2020, 5:46 PM —“I have to say … spending so much time in Latin America … when I come across pure European-blood people … it is an absolute shock. They are SOOOO much more eccentric in thought and emotion and variability and width and scale and responsiveness. It’s like an accordian. You are…

Mar 6, 2020, 6:11 PM Yes, Russia is poorly understood, her government misunderstood, and the Russian people (who I love very much – often more than my own) poorly understood. But this misunderstanding is a manifestation of their government and The Russian Grand Narrative under which Russia’s national mythos, while true, is a product of…

Mar 6, 2020, 6:28 PM This might be hard. Yes, all epistemic processes are the same: sense-perception > auto-association > hypothesis(intuition) > theory(reason) > survival in market(demonstration) -> repeat. So it’s rather obvious that information move from sense perception(observation), to intuition(prediction), to reason (permutation), to action (demonstration), to observation in a continuous cognitive loop (continuous…

      Western Tradition we call Aristotelianism from prehistory to future, by class and by age. Will tweak it a bit as usual over time. Need to add a left most column for European IE tradition. (I wonder how many people will understand this.)    

Ryan Drummond: I often tell Alice: “I don’t feel like I really live a human life any more. I just walk around processing information and responding to stimuli accordingly. It’s strange. But it gets things done in accordance with natural law.” I think once you start unpacking things in that sort of way – you…

Mar 7, 2020, 5:35 PM —” I’m curious how P-law would handle the harmful nature drugs involve, without stamping on freedom of the individual to grow and learn from making mistakes… and what about drugs that stradle a line between medical necessity, and potential for abuse like opioids or amphetamine. … And the third aspect…
