—“Curt purposely writes for (very) high-IQ people who have a lot of contextual understanding already in place. Some of his stuff is difficult for me and I’m 135-140 (some of it I have to make an effort to “get” which I’m not accustomed to). That being said Curt’s posts/writing have gotten a lot more accessible…

The underlying basis of community is self interest, and the production of commons because commons provide returns for self interest. It is, as far as I know, not possible to contradict morality as stated in propertarianism (reciprocity) since it is both a logical necessity and empirically evident in all judicial proceedings known to man.

That is (a) universal, (b) nationalist, (c) reciprocity (d) forcing markets in everything, (e) free of imposition of costs directly or indirectly, (f) and extreme intolerance for the opposites: internationalism, irreciprocity, discretionary rule over common and private. I’ve gone “full fash”. In the sense of militaristic, expansionist, zero tolerance for anything other than sovereignty, reciprocity,…

We are taught to tell the truth no matter the consequences. Judaism teaches that deceit is acceptable with non-jews. Islam teaches to lie whenever advantagous.

Systems of tracking…

—“I have few questions for you, Mr. Doolittle, “— Good. Let us have fun. SUMMARY Yes islam is a serious negative, but it is only a serious negative because of Turkey’s demographics. While Turkey’s demographics are not good (90+) they are nowhere as bad as the other islamic states (80), and in particular the Arab…

I’m going to repeat this again: The marginal differences between groups – differences that are non-trivial – are by and large the result of the size of our underclasses. It will be hard to produce Chinese memories, to produce ashkenazi speech, or to produce White creativity. But we don’t know what will emerge in other…

**We have not much choice in how we think only the interpersonal COMMENSURABILITY OF THE model we think with; and that propertarianism provides both that commensurable model AND the political order that takes best advantage of it**

(But the same method of analysis allows us to decompose every group evolutionary strategy) (a) Objectivism like libertarianism, is simply private property marxism – a monopoly of private property, just as marxism is common property monopoly. With Marxist disincentive to produce private property at one end, Objectivist and Libertarian disincentive to produce common property on…

—“[Your answer is too complex and unusable.]”— For stupid folk yes. It is however, correct. Just ’cause economics is hard doesn’t mean its false. Just ’cause algebraic geometry is hard doesn’t mean it’s false. Just ’cause subatomic physics is hard, doesn’t mean it’s false. Just ’cause natural law is hard, doesn’t mean it’s false. Stupid…

—“What is the difference between a cult & religion in practice?”—Zach Edward First, religions and cults consist of a mythos and costly rituals that require demonstration of advocacy (not necessarily belief) in one or more falsehoods as a substitute for reason and a signal of contribution to the group’s informational and as a consequence, behavioral…

I just argue that truth is also a signal and that superior peoples can in fact use truth for the same purposes (and in general they have). And it’s most important that while inferior groups can use falsehoods, only superior groups can use truth. Truth is a competitive advantage. (The opposite is also true. Falsehood…

Since art is fictional, and therefore analogical, we judge it by its morality first and truthfulness second. If a hero is a marxist it’s immoral. If it promoted abrahamism and marxism it’s immoral. it it misrepresents history it’s immoral. If it’s fiction and it claims to be, and it’s not immoral then it’s neither false…

ARETÉ: ARYAN ETHICS: “THAT MAN MAY SURPASS HIMSELF” by Daniel Gurpide (wonderful. gave me chills) The tragic urge to self-overcoming (transcendence) may be identified as the only way man and his presence in the world may be ennobled, and this was the primary element of traditional Aryan ethics. It is what the ancient Greeks called…

(just takes a great deal of rule of law and trade before it has any scale) Western civilization has been making use of capitalism since its inception in pre-history. We can see it in the language artifacts of the period, and in their various archeological remains. We did not invent corporations in the period, only…

The most difficult problem appears quite trivial. That is, do we and can we maintain the separation of civic education (religion) and economic education (the grammars of calculation), and craftshmanship (the trades), or do we restore the relationship beween civic education, economic eductaion, and craftsmanship? Because this turns out to be a rather difficult problem…

—“It’s a bit unclear but let’s say everybody is a free agent and as such free to do what one wants as long as his actions don’t impose additional costs to somebody else…would that be correct..? “—Antonio Simon  Close, but there is a cost (duty) to pay for such a thing, because free agents are…

—“Dunbar’s Number is a suggested cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships—relationships in which an individual knows who each person is and how each person relates to every other person.”— Roman (Wall) 8 men x 10(80) x 6(480) x 10(4800) (legion) American (Packs) 10 x 4(40) x…

We all have a will to power, but we also have physical, mental, and emotional resources to obtain it with; and that will is countered by fear and insecurity. Language is as natural as walking. But it causes us to overestimate our similarities. Empathy causes us to overestimate our similarities. Submission causes us to overestimate…

Conservatives are more likely to use an adultery site than liberals, and libertarians much more likely than Conservatives. Why? Um. Let me help y’all. It’s COSTS. For libertarians especially, and conservatives in general, interpersonal connections come at higher costs. These web sites effectively suggest that they offer opportunities at lower interpersonal COST. (All behavior is…

Isn’t this a simple verbalism? Fitness (intertemporal) and Health (Temporal)? Height, Morphology, Symmetry, and shoulder, waist, hip and all other ratios provide an exceptional test of Neoteny / Pedomorphism, which indicate accurate genetic potential. Health is transitory. Skin and eyes and movement tell everything.

An aphorism is the penultimate device for the parsimonious conveyance of knowledge. The Chinese lack the concepts and vocabulary to produce aphorisms(science) so they produce ‘riddles'(wisdom). But only the far west and the far east have produced the technique of testable statements that produce competition rather than monopoly. The despotic people have developed monopoly, analogy,…

You aren’t thinking clearly. We have enough underserved men to do it. And enough incentive for them to do it. And enough moral justification to do it. We have means, motive, and opportunity. Numbers are offset by FRAGILITY.  

What wins in this world. Simple. 1. Internal locus of control. 2. Individual sovereignty (I own me). 3. High Agency. 4. Intolerance. 5. A refusal to seek validation. 6. A refusal to seek approval. 7. The ability to think out to 2nd and 3rd order effects. 8. The ability to understand Requisite Variety — the…
