The Incommensurability of Emotional vs Intellectual Honesty
We often Make the mistake of assuming that all but a very small percentage practice intellectual honesty (or dishonesty) – or even are capable of it. Intellectual honesty requires extraordinary agency that is available only to a tiny fraction of the population. The majority are capable of and practice emotional honesty and dishonesty. And…
The Two Fold Morality of Achilles
by Adam Voight The morality of Achilles is two fold: 1) Freedom – Rulers do not own the ruled; rulers owe their power to attracting good subjects who will fight for them and serve them. This is revealed in Achilles’ dealings with Agamemnon and Menelaos. 2) Universal Honor code – Just because you are fighting…
—“why Are We Not Seeing a Shock from Gender Asymmetry in India and China?”—
1- Economic opportunity is masking conflict – as it always does. The return of economic limitations restores group conflicts. 2 – Substantial underclass populations still preserving family. 3 – So there is sex pressure but still hope. 4 – And there is marriage retention and still hope. 5 – Unlike the west, they are not…

Components of a Post Abrahamic Religion
The Goal (godhood / transcendence) The Strategy (velocity : truth, sovereignty, reciprocity, Law, Markets) The Law ( productive, fully informed warrantied, voluntary transfer free of imposition of costs by externality, through action or inaction) The Histories and The Heroes The Festivals and The Rituals The Oath The Disciplines (Stoic, Epicurean)
—“Truth? I thought you just told the truth, and that’s it!”—
Well, you can speak honestly regardless of whether what you say is true. It’s the level of falsification you apply and the warranty you put behind it. Honest > Truthful > True > Analytically True > Tautological. Honest(personal but not instrumental due diligence complete) > Truthful(instrumental Due diligence complete) > True(proper) > Analytic Truth(math, logic)…
—“Do you have to be right-Wing and emotionless to be a masculine / real man ?”—
Um. I dunno about emotionless, but if that means “not open to feminine manipulation or argumentative sophistry”, then yes. As far as I know to be a left wing man requires you’re effeminate in temperament, suggestible under effeminate manipulation, a practitioner of argumentative sophistry, and you are completely ignorant of demographics, genetics, economics, and the…
—“What is the central dogma of the postmodern left?”-
THE POSTMODERN CANON (Really, this is the answer). 1. All that matters in governance is power, and as such all that matters is getting power, and therefore groups must do whatever possible to obtain power by any means. 2. Truth, reason, science, reciprocity, value, are therefore just one means of obtaining power and therefore irrelevant…
The Grand Strategy of The Iran Move
As German defense minister said “Iran is on our doorstep so…” meaning that they are afraid because europe is weak. and so they will cave. Meanwhile Trump is trying to force Europeans to redirect their capital to the military which would neutralize their trade advantage with the USA. These things are quite simple as a…
Trump Is Doing What He Promised. He’s an Entrepreneur. Govt Is Just an Obstacle to His Promises to The People.
Trump isn’t a neocon (expansionist) he’s trying to withdraw into safety, and focus the economy on expansion rather than postwar pacification. That means settling all open disputes (which now include Russia – but the press hasn’t caught onto Russian reduction of military spending and redirection to diversifying the economy), ending Korean conflict and bringing those…
BTC – Initial Generation Issues
Initial generations of any technology follow a nearly identical pattern of over-enthusiasm and over-investment by hobbyists reaching the same limitations and failing to circumvent them. The subsequent generations of technology put greater investment in the hard work of solving the limitations, and paying the high cost of reorganizing the entire model if necessary. This is…
—“Aren’t Central banks failing?”–
—“Aren’t Central banks failing?”—Jacob Liam Youngman No evidence of it. Just the opposite, that central banking has made it possible to drag backward nations out of poverty by the billions. You can say that keynesian monetary policy in an attempt to limit unemployment has been a failure if for no other reason than it inflates…
“That’s a [gender here] problem”
Curious. Men both consciously and unconsciously demarcate their responsibilities an interests by “that’s a woman’s problem”. In other words, women are better suited, more interested, and more able to solve that category of problems. Do women do the same thing? Do women demarcate their responsibilities by saying “that’s a man’s problem”? If so, on what?
Earning Sufferage
I wonder…. let’s say military service of six years, ownership of real property, and a wife are required for male suffrage, and three children, a husband, and real property are required for female suffrage. With suffrage comes a substantial discount in fees (taxation), and a substantial increase in insurance (retirement insurance), and that all such…
It’s the Truth That’s Unkind
You know, for the sake of relationships I try to keep quite a bit to myself. That’s why I use distractions of teasing, play, and buffoonery to circumvent many topics. And you know, I thought my wife walked on water. You can’t imagine. But once in a while things leak out under autistic duress. “I…
The Strategies of The Monotheistic Religions
by Aaron Kahland Taking the big three monotheistic religions, the peculiarities of them might be, in part, explained, by historical circumstances. Judaism – is non-universalist and supremacist. This fits the nationalist / separatist Jewish desire to re-establish a Jewish Kingdom / liberate Jews from foreign domination. Its supremacism was an effective tool to delegitimize occupation.…

Islam’s Invention
by Aaron Kahland Islam can really be re-labelled the ‘Umayyad Invention’ It was the Umayyad’s (from Mecca) that took the pre-Islamic beliefs of the Arabs (likely influenced by a Jewish sect) and forged it into a political religion to solidify their Caliphate’s legitimacy after an early Arab civil war which they won. No-where in the…
Fix the Means of Calculation (decidability) and Fix the Problem
You know, I love my laboring, working, middle class, and upper middle class brothers, because they are by and large a moral bunch. But unlike most of them I have spent time with and largely been one of our upper class cousins. And my working class brothers in particular vastly overestimate their understanding of those…
(slap!) Marxist…. Munch Your Crayons
—“Just go read Das Capital”— Young Female Marxist I have read every significant work of economic theory ever written, (as well as most in mathematics, logic, philosophy, history, politics, the military and the arts). As far as I know I’m one of the best philosophers working today. Really. And that’s not because I’m all that…

Spring Curt Quotes
In the battles of sophisms between sophists the articulate wins. that’s the problem: we want truth to win. You can use sophism to state a truth or sophism to state a falsehood. By using sophism to state a truth you have done nothing to insure that truth against defeat by sophisms that are false. (yes,…
Women Conform to Whatever Power They Perceive
The vast majority of Women try to reduce or eliminate social threats, so they conform to whatever power they perceive. It’s not rational from a male perspective because if there is an external threat women will rapidly and easily undermine the men (their host).
The Demand for A Monopoly on Violence

Never Allow Elites to Make the Same Mistake Twice
—“Betrayal can never be forgiven. We can breed new elites. It’ll take time. But even in the meantime we’ll be stronger without treacherous elites than with them. And even with them we’re very nearly strong enough. Some mistakes, you don’t get to make twice.”— Ely Harman
