The Lesson of Comparative Civilizations
[S]o, what is the lesson we learn from our study of history? That european peoples are able to evolve genetically, culturally, economically, technologically, faster than all other peoples because of our traditions of sovereignty, reciprocity, truth, duty, excellence, heroism, rule of law and jury, and markets in all aspects of life, where the market for…
Q: Define Power Distance
Q: DEFINE POWER DISTANCE (definitions) —“Would someone please robustly define power distance?”— Micky Callahan Power distance refers to the relationship between those in power and the subordinates in a society where lower ranking individuals depending on the high or low power distance culture react to that authority. Simple checklist (Doolittle): 1 – How many layers…
The Future of Marriage Will Return to Historical Norm – and That’s Not Monogamy
[D]uring most of agrarian age history, when man and woman married they could divide labor of creating common property (household) so that man could have a tribe and woman a nest, and both freedom from parental control over the allocation of resources. Getting married meant freedom and sovereignty. A lot. This was true until the…
Christians want to be woo’ed…
—“Christians want to be woo’ed…the congregation is referred to as female for a good reason. If you don’t woo them by speaking to them in the grammars they are accustomed to–supernaturalism, childlike storytelling (parables), and the language of blind faith–they get put off, and like uppity women, they will walk away in a huff. The…
Notes on Eric Weinstein interview:
Apr 15, 2020, 7:05 PM Notes on Eric Weinstein interview: 1) Continuing my criticism: You notice that Erice is GSRRM’ing all day long, but he’s not proposing an alternative model. Not how to create the research economy. Now how to reform the academy. He hasn’t provided enough a solution that’s strong enough to falsify the…
People Are *Very* Different from Each Other
by John Mark It is hard for us to imagine how different other people are to us. This has been the single hardest lesson for me to learn over my lifetime, I’m finally getting it and still getting more revelations about it. Even understanding the very thorough, very clear way that Curt lays out the…
Define: Cellular Damage
—“Curt: What do you mean by “cellular damage”?”—Daniel Roland Anderson XX vs XY. Two chances of cellular correction vs one. This is why men live shorter lives by about ten percent. We accumulate cellular damage and we take on the high risk work in the world. When childbirth was risky the tradeoff existed. Now it…
Our Purpose, Our Control
OUR PURPOSE, OUR CONTROL He who can defend a thing, owns a thing. He who can destroy a thing controls a thing. The men who can defend or destroy, always own and control things. The question is only whether they act to control things they own. This is why a universal militia is required to…
Conspiracy of Common Interests vs Of Intent
—“Maybe I’m unclear on what you mean by intent. It seems to me incentives and intent are interlinked.”—Scott Strong CONSPIRACY OF COMMON INTERESTS: Passively follow incentives to seize existing opportunity – and fail to not seize opportunity that is immoral. CONSPIRACY OF INTENT: Actively work to create opportunities to seize because they are immoral. CONSPIRACY…
Government Under P-Law
—“I can’t see anywhere in P that conflicts with my strong belief in Republicanism. Am I correct?”— Robert You can create any form of government with P-law you just have to state it truthfully and reciprocally in a constitution. A republican government refers to elected representatives. But that is all. It doesn’t tell us…
The Hierarchy of Possibilities Prevents Error
THE HIERARCHY OF POSSIBILITIES PREVENTS ERROR By Lucas Cort SOVEREIGNTY – DOMINANT MALE The male strategy creates sovereignty IN FACT – violence and Law – establishment of action, preservation and insurance between insurers. FREEDOM – ALL Those Sovereigns then grant PERMISSION to those of lesser insurance or specializations in the division of labour to act…
When I listen to other couples talk…
When I listen to other couples talk I wonder why anyone in america gets married. What a bunch of ignorant, spoiled, self-indulgent, twits leading meaningless hamster-wheel lives, of obesity, virtue signaling, and social dysfunction from a failure to compete enough to learn to compromise. We don’t need man caves. We gotta build barracks for men…
When I Was First Struck…
Remember when I was first struck by what was going wrong. It was in the early 80’s. Long enough for the false promises of the sixties and seventies to become presumptions, long enough for people to intuit something wasn’t right, but not long enough for them to be falsified. … It’s early summer. A woman…
Loyalty
(from elsewhere) Very smart fellow and intellectually honest. Pleasure discussing this with you. —“When I brought up the religiosity of the US founders I was referring only to a very basic common principle: that morality, and its subgenre of political law, must be grounded in God by a logical necessity (hence the ‘God-given’ ‘inalienable rights’).…
Define how You Use the Term Socialism.
Define how you use the term socialism. I’m assuming you mean european socialism (french-german) not jewish socialism (jewish russian). Socialism means state control of the means of production. Mixed economy means using the borrowing power of the state to strategically finance what the private sector cannot or will not. My opinion is the same…
We Are All Turning to The Masculine Defense of Our Peoples and Cultures
Just as french write informal universalist secular theology of the feminine, and germans write formal universalist philosophy that is secular theology of harmony, the russians write masculine very informal nationalist propaganda as a secular theology of the masculine. These are the result of geographic location and cultural history. While yes my implementation of rule of…
Paternal Rebuke of The Infantilized
PATERNAL REBUKE OF THE INFANTILIZED (worth repeating) (rebuke) We are not equal. We can engage in reciprocity. In doing so we can engage in reciprocal loyalty and insurance. But the weak are not equal to the strong, the woman to the man, the child to the adult. That is why we must have reciprocity to…
A Journey: A Reflection:
Apr 17, 2020, 5:52 PM A JOURNEY: A REFLECTION: I STARTED ON WHAT WOULD BECOME P IN 1990 – JUST A FEW YEARS AFTER GIVING UP ON AI. Interesting. Memory was off. Thought it was 92. But notes. I started working on a universal language of ethics and politics in the summer of 1990 as…
The Big Lie Is Ultimately Just Social Constructivism?
THE INCENTIVE FOR SOCIAL CONSTRUCTION —Social construction requires a false promise. The only viable false promises that scale for social construction are those that violate physical, natural, and evolutionary laws. Violating those laws baits the victims into hazard by violating those laws.— IS THE BIG LIE ULTIMATELY JUST SOCIAL CONSTRUCTIVISM? Pretty much. Social construction is…
The P Program and Our Purposes
Bill 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. This division of labor has helped expand our collective reach – and bill’s role as “the Professor” led to the production of our best people. Likewise, Luke Weinhagen is…
The Economists Loss of Confidence
[E]conomists talked in bold, confident, nonsense up until 2008. They don’t any longer. For good reason. You can produce and economy as an extension of producing rule of law of reciprocity but you cannot produce an economy directly. You can insure some of an economy by partnership between state and strategic industry. But an economy…
The Constitution of Religion
THE CONSTITUTION OF RELIGION (tying it all together)(blow your mind) (core) [R]eligion provides us with personal, social, and political rituals to train us to into mindfulness(tolerance), forgiveness, and cooperation at increasing scales. It serves as the institutionalization of harmony so that We Can Tolerate Anonymity, Lack of Reinforcement, Expansion of Hierarchy, Loss of Agency, in…
Countering Chinese Propaganda
[I] posed a map of the nine individual countries within the chinese empire, as a comparison to the nine nations of north american empire, and the twenty odd nations of europe in the EU’s attempt at the long standing French project of a european empire. This is a copy of the thread. It’s a back…
Video Selections from our Reading List
THE INSTITUTE READING LIST IN VIDEOS by In Truth Victorious ITV is going through the Propertarian Reading List (and our library) and finding videos that summarize the work of the authors. So if you want to get an overview even while driving or doing something else, you can ‘piece it together’. And then select the…
INALIENABLE HUMAN RIGHTS ONLY EXIST IF WE PROVIDE THEM TO OURSELVES.
By Martin Št?pán —“Each person has inherent worth, inalienable human rights, and value, but we must not let political correctness dictate reality.”— a friend Not quite. Inherent worth is Platonism. Your value, just like value of anything else, is subjective and not necessarily positive. The only way to ensure that our value to others isn’t…
