Mythology Makes No Pretense
Mythology makes no pretense, nor law, nor requests no compensation. I’m a fan of fairy tales, myths, legends, histories. They are necessary due to the intertemporal content of their information, and the increasing precision and depth we need as we accumulate knowledge. In the end we should find science and law. But not all of…
Extending Eli’s Necessity of Commensurability and Decidability
Long (Established Male), medium (ascendent male), short term (female consumption) division of perception, cognition, knowledge, labor, and advocacy demand different degrees of calculation – computational stress. This is why trust, reciprocity, norms, traditions, myths, institutions and laws matter most to those of us with conservative and long term values (intuitions/genes) and not to those with…

They are all cognitively female
Ever since my discovery that “They” are all cognitively female, I’ve had this idea for an experiment where we find gender-typical arguments (naxalt etc) and then put the text under photos of opposite gender but same age and race, and class. When I listen to “Them” I realize that they are making cognitively female arguments,…
American Policy Is Not Morally Good – Just Pragmatic Pursuit of Market Prosperity
Let me put something into perspective. America advocates markets and meritocracy and fixed borders. This sounds very ‘moral’ but it is just profitable for an advanced country to advocate meritocracy. For the same reason it is sensible for a less advanced country to advocate authoritarianism. We all pursue self intersets. It is just that sometimes,…
Reason Magazine as The Immature Male
Reason Magazine is an archetypal example of the selective measurement of ascendant male interests. <–Female——–Ascendent Male——-Established Male–> ….Consumption…Production………..Preservation… ….Short Term….Medium Term……….Long Term….. ….Socialism…..Libertarian……….Aristocracy…. ….Gossip……..Exchange………….Force……… (a) What deltas in Capital do Reason Magazine’s editors and authors not account for?

—“Curt does your book include a new constitution, or is that a separate project? (With recent political events, leftists intensifying harassment, etc, I’m thinking we might need one sooner rather than later.)”—John Mark Last summer I had to break the book apart because it was too big. And so I have two books, one shorter…
Agency (full Definition in Context)
(*Very few of us have the agency to think without the animal in us determining the outcome.*) AGENCY (FULL DEFINITION IN CONTEXT) —“What is the definition of “agency” as the term is used here?”— Daniel Roland —“The capacity of individuals to act independently and to make their own free choices subject to personal or external…
Our Warning
OUR WARNING *We alone possess agency, will to create sovereignty, and demand for transcendence. There is no transcendence, no sovereignty, no agency for the weak, the cowardly, the timid, or the dim. And no liberty, nor freedom, nor subsidy for any if we fail.*
Agency, via Positiva and Via Negativa
AGENCY, VIA POSITIVA AND VIA NEGATIVA Again, whether we are talking the existing definition in social science, or my extended definition in natural law, Agency refers to the absence of impediment, the same way that truth refers to the absence of falsehood. We do not know what the unknown impediments and falsehoods consists of we…
Psychology
PSYCHOLOGY (repost from August ’17) 1) perceptions, biases and limits, 2) categories provided by evolution, their biases and limits, 2) incentives (values) attached to those categories, their biases and limits. As far as I know all psychology can be expressed as was suggested by the stoics, as furtherance of acquisition. This yields objective and descriptive…
Lack of Due Diligence = Lying
LACK OF DUE DILIGENCE = LYING Aug 06, 2017 1:51pm by Bill Joslin —“Curt equates a lack of due diligence to vet ones ideas against error, bias, self deception, overloading etc as lying. Any primacy of consciousness or theism stands as arguing for a preference opposed to arguing a point in the commons. Theism and…
The Third Version of Man
THE THIRD VERSION OF MAN (Nietzsche in Anglo Scientific Language) By Daniel Gurpide Jul 31, 2017 8:27pm –“My humanity is a constant self-overcoming.”–Friedrich Nietzsche THE THIRD VERSION Nietzsche’s message was one of evolutionary change, of man’s progress toward full consciousness. He taught that the whole value and meaning of a man’s life lies in his…
Natural Law of Sovereign Men: Domesticating Animal Man for Peers and Profit.
Jan 30, 2017 10:32pm NATURAL LAW OF SOVEREIGN MEN: DOMESTICATING ANIMAL MAN FOR PEERS AND PROFIT. An animal has no agency, only impulse; can enter no contracts, only seize conveniences; can resolve no disputes truthfully, only imagine excuses. It cannot be reasoned with, only bribed or punished. But with bribes and punishments it can be…

Revolution: Remember when You Told Me It Couldn’t Happen?

VIA RASUMSSEN Wednesday, June 27, 2018 “That which appears inconceivable is merely a function of the determinacy of human behavior and the ignorance of the incentives” —“Thirty-one percent (31%) of Likely U.S. Voters say it’s likely that the United States will experience a second civil war…
Commensurability and decidability between individuals
—“Without shared mythology, values, rituals, signals, institutions, language, culture, and kinship …. without some local commonality in these, there is no commensurability or decidability possible between individuals, and no coincidence of interests, and therefore no cooperation, only conflict.”— Eli Harman Eli hitting it out of the park on that one.
*Always Use Series*.
Tip that some people get and some people fail to get: *Always Use Series*. —“mythology, values, rituals, signals, institutions, language, culture, and kinship”— —“ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism, fictionalism, and deceit”— —“murder, violence, theft, fraud, free riding, socialization of losses, privatization of the commons, conspiracy, statism, conversion, immigration, conquest”— —“Idealism, abrahamism, pilpul vs…
Single Mothers Data: I Try, but Sometimes I Don”t Succeed.
—“Evidence seems to suggest that children with single mothers grow up to be a menace whereas children with single fathers grow up just fine.”—Alba Rising Um… that’s not the case. It’s that single mothers are at much higher risk of unstable environments and higher risk of insecure (guilty) mother’s psychology affecting children negatively than single…
The Animal Majority Provides Survival by Incremental Graceful Failure
The evolutionary reason some of us have agency and most of us do not, is because reason is subject to temporal failure, and information is subject to intertemporal failure, and instinct provides a very successful method of graceful failure. Meanwhile selection for success of those with agency allows others to adopt new knowledge and understanding…
The First Rule of Education: The Production of Agency
—“To be of a sound mind for logical reasoning requires control of emotions. This control of the emotions begins with control over the body. Control of the body is obtained by fitness: stresses, trial, and error. The sequence by which we develop our agency is physical>emotional>mental.”— John Mattison
The Shift from physical constraint, to economic constraint, to credit constraint, to informational constraint.
We always have had prisoners (prisons), slavery(military), serfdom(labor), freedom(middle class), liberty (professional class), and sovereignty(political class). We still have all those things. We have just shifted them from physical constraint, to economic constraint, to credit constraint, to informational constraint. All that changes is that it is far cheaper to rule people by each generational evolution…

—“Ball as in ‘sphere’ comes from Norse ‘b?llr’ /b?l?r/, while ball as in ‘dance party’ comes from Latin ‘ballare’, which in turn became ‘bal’ (French for ‘a dance’). Totally different roots, it’s just one of those quirks of English having absorbed bits of so many different languages.”—
The Chinese Created Their Cultural Revolution with Violence and Political Intent
THE CHINESE CREATED THEIR CULTURAL REVOLUTION WITH VIOLENCE AND POLITICAL INTENT. WE DID IT WITH A SELF ORGANIZING MARKET – WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM THAT DIFFERENCE? Their ‘Cultural Revolution’ involved granting liberal tolerance to defectors, then rounding them up and brutally killing them in the streets. A uniquely Chinese degree of practical political violence.…
Rule of Law Produces Trust, and Trust Produces Opportunity for Risk
—“Many people keep deploring the low level of formal education in the United states (as defined by, say, math grades). Yet these fail to realize that the new comes from here and gets imitated elsewhere. And it is not thanks to universities, which obviously claim a lot more credit than their accomplishments warrant. Like Britain…
