Us, Our Gods and Our Heroes
September 18th, 2018 11:04 AM US, OUR GODS AND OUR HEROES [A]ll our heroes are dead, like Achilles, Socrates, Alexander, Ceasar and Aurelius.

September 18th, 2018 9:53 AM “Privileging the Meaningful Over the Truthful Allows One to Discount the Declarative and Secure the Opportunity to Lie.” by Bill Joslin (genius) In Ganz’s terms, Generative Anthropology is idiomatic and ostensive (also speculative) whereas Propertarianism is imperative and declarative.

Regarding Gans’ Generative Anthropology
September 18th, 2018 9:22 AM REGARDING GANS’ GENERATIVE ANTHROPOLOGY [S]omeone just asked, so for those that are interested in such things, Eric Gans’ Generative Anthropology, is compatible and non-contradictory with Propertarianism. It is however a description of potential (cooperation on policy) not one of limits (resolution of differences by law), and it is narrative (literary…
Women Joyful and Men Noble
September 18th, 2018 9:13 AM WOMEN JOYFUL AND MEN NOBLE by Megan K. Usui I imagine for most men that they love their women most, not when they are making them a sammie, although that’s nice and all but they love them most when they see their beauty and this is usually when a woman…

There Is No Postmodern Conservatism
[T]here is no postmodern conservatism -only adoption of leftist technique of ridicule, shaming, rallying, straw manning, superstition, moralism, psychologism, pseudoscience, and the denial of truth and reason.

We Don’t Really Use the Term ‘Free Will’,
[W]e don’t really use the term ‘Free Will’, because it is an ideal, and so tainted that it’s meaningless. We use the terms Agency (via positiva) and Sovereignty (via negativa) and Reciprocity (via voluntary, productive), and we state operationally what those mean.

Evil

September 17th, 2018 10:21 AM MAPPING PROPERTARIANISM TO PHILOSOPHY AND THE SCIENCES (from the introduction) While propertarianism serves as an anti-philosophy system of thought, we rely upon the traditional hierarchy of categories: SOVEREIGNTY: -From Reals to Feels- Metaphysics:..Vitruvianism: Man is the measure of all things man (cog. sci.)Psychology:…Acquisitionism: Man acquires and defends.Sociology:….Compatibilism: Intertemporal division of…
The First Complete Statement of The Philosophy of Western Civilization
September 17th, 2018 10:20 AM THE FIRST COMPLETE STATEMENT OF THE PHILOSOPHY OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION (from the Introduction) The Heroic Civilization.
