There are an infinite number of fictions we can fabricate. There is only one most parsimonious description. As far as I know a god is a fictional character. A demigod is a fictional character. A hero is a fictional character. And archetypal measurements are the easiest for man to employ. I leave Pilpul, Critique and…

Note the order, and the pairings. 1 – Psychology : Acquisitionism(restating psychology as acquisition) 1 – Aesthetics : Aesthetics (a scientific restatement of aesthetics) 2 – Metaphysics : Vitruvianism: Man as the Measure (actions determine categories) 2 – Grammars: Grammars of Measurement (restating language as a set of grammars of continuous recursive measurements.) 3 –…

3. I realized that friendship, comradeship, would never arise in really difficult, life-threatening conditions. Friendship arises in difficult but bearable conditions (in the hospital, but not at the pit face). 4. I realized that the feeling a man preserves longest is anger. There is only enough flesh on a hungry man for anger: everything else…

All religion is poor substitute for the initiatic brotherhood of warriors, their hunt, the feast that results, and the thanks of all for it. There is no greater promise than the oath. No greater mindfulness than the hunt. No greater bond than the with those with whom we fight and kill. No greater thrill than…

You absolutely positively interpret men and women differently. You absolutely positively attribute lower agency to women. You absolutely positively intuit the masculine and feminine cognitive biases. These biases are genetic, and reinforced through learning in both the observer and the observed. The problem is, that THEY are cognitively female. And pursue the cognitive and reproductive…

Let me help you by repetition: Austrian Econ studies the Natural Law of Cooperation. Chicago studies Insurance under Natural Law. New York (Mainstream) studies maximum consumption under the maximum violation of natural law, including the consumption of all capital, that still preserves sufficient cooperation to preserve cooperation despite destruction of all capital. Consumption <—– Production…

The utility of a lie is determined by the desirability of its repetition. Lies are information products like any other market product. Monotheistic religions are the biggest most successful lies of all for the simple reason that people desire them. Not because they are true, or useful, or good. The demand for sedating foods, alcohol,…

–“the problem is over-application”– The problem is the economics of that judgement do not warrant the investment in the discovery. Ergo it is of necessity the responsibility of the member of the stereotype to decide whether he signals reinforcement or counter to that stereotype. His choice reinforces or counters.

As far as I can tell, the basic problem is not wasting ammo, and using fire to drive the zombies, the way our ancestors drove animals off cliffs. I mean, the guard armories have some. The military armories have some. But you don’t wanna waste it with suppressing fire. You wanna use fire to drive.…

—“Cooperation is an investment that has non-zero risk. If you want people to cooperate with you rather than fight or avoid you, you must mitigate that risk. If you instead try to shame people for your lack of ability to mitigate their risk, they are left with the only options of fight or flight. However,…

There is no conspiracy among peoples with genetic and cultural homogeneity, any more than there is a conspiracy between women against men, or predators against prey, or competent against incompetent. We demonstrate differing degrees of neoteny, different moral intuitions, differing brain distributions, different endorphin distributions, and different morphology distributions for ancestral reasons. We all participate…

CLASS HIERARCHY AND THEIR METHODS OF ASSERTION by John Mark I like to try to put Curt’s stuff in language the avg IQ tier can understand more easily (forces me to understand it better). Here’s my attempt at this one: Aristocracy: War “We will apply violence in whatever way necessary/beneficial – up to and including…

The Woman:  —“[Some quote stating we are all brothers and sisters and should practice patience, kindness, and charity.]”— Buddha The Man: —“The greatest pleasure is to vanquish your enemies and chase them before you, to rob them of their wealth and see those dear to them bathed in tears, to ride their horses and clasp…

—“There is no point in arguing with someone with a closed mind”— Anon The problem is knowing when you are asking for an open mind : meaning “time to consider the argument”, and asking someone to agree, believe, or express faith in that which is not an argument but a fraud. The only non-fraudulent version…

(edited for clarity) In the matter of gods we have only the testimony of men, and the means, motive, and opportunity to lie in their testimony. Given means motive and opportunity to lie, and no evidence of all that they speak the truth, then all gods are merely fictional characters. Those characters serve as anthropomorphic…

My answer to Is Mises’s action axiom self evident? https://t.co/X0C0GANSPg Is the statement an axiom? No. It’s a Law. The difference between an axiom and a law, is that an axiom is declared (created and therefore arbitrary), and a law is discovered (existential, and therefore unavoidable). Is the law self evident? Self evident means ‘obvious’.…

Let me help you. Religion and education are the same thing. I know. You wouldn’t think so. But that’s because you’re confusing cooperative technology (self and others) vs productive technology (things). Separation of church and state is logically impossible. It’s simply begging for a conflict of laws.

You know, by and large, christianity is not incompatible with natural law. The whole damned narrative is. But otherwise, the basic principle of direct demonstrated charity, exhaustion of opportunity for forgiveness, and reciprocity is fine. That said …. there is nothing in that list that wasn’t in our slavic, nordic, germanic, italic civilization before christianity.…

—“As a conservative, would you prefer a hypothetical effeminate capitalist society or a hypothetical masculine socialist society?”— Hmmm…. Socialism(equality) is the result of the female reproductive strategy, and capitalism(markets) is the result of a young (ascendent) male reproductive strategy, and classical liberalism(hierarchy) is the result of the established male reproductive strategy, and authoritarianism (command) regardless…

Men divide cognitive labor more so than women. We have many tribes. Each tribe specializes in the conceptual tools that they best understand. This specialization as in all things reflects the class structure. That is what men have been doing for the past ten years: building tools. Not one – but many. Each ‘faction’ of…

The problem is we are now speciating because we can afford to speciate, because we can afford to SORT, and through mobility and sortition specialize. This is a good thing as long as we create governments for each group that is speciating, becasue governments create the commons necessary to support the interests of those who…

Stoicism consists of disciplined self authoring. The purpose of stoicism is to teach mindfulness. Not escapist mindfulness, but actionable mindfulness. Not fantasy mindfulness, but actionable mindfulness. Not victim mindfulness but actionable mindfulness. Enumerate a number of virtues (these are open to debate) Write a plan for your life that includes achievements and virtues. Every day…

The Roma at one end of the spectrum, using begging and theft, and the They fill middle of the spectrum using rent seeking, and the end of the spectrum (predation) is occupied by last of the pastoralists to adopt monotheism using outright predation. I mean HUMANITY FILLS EVERY AVAILABLE NICHE of opportunity for exploiting the…
