Hence Why Europeans Need Their Empire of Nation States Under Our Own “White”: Natural Law
—“Our field’s fixation on the Westphalian state has tended to obscure the fact that the main actors in global politics, for most of time immemorial, have been empires rather than states … In fact, it is a very distorted view of even the Westphalian era not to recognize that it was always at least as…
—“How will the petroyuan affect the future of the American economy?”—
by T Michael Lutas via Quora Assuming that the petroyuan actually takes off, the US will have an inflationary impulse as petrodollars cycle back to the US at last and US Fed interest rates have to rise in order to soak them up. Assuming that the Fed doesn’t completely mishandle things, it will be a…

THE FATAL EMBRACE – JEWS AND THE STATE THE PEOPLE THAT SHALL DWELL ALONE A WARNING TO THE WEST
—-”Soon the world will be filled with mixed race people. Will racism and prejudice therefore end?”—-
It won’t happen. (Really). A limited number of social orders are possible: i) genetically imperial (Han Chinese, Russian Empire), ii) large hierarchy of casts (india), iii) small homogenous and dynamic (europe, japan). iv) tyrannical hetero-tribal, v) failed peoples that cannot hold territory (diasporic unlanded people). Every experience with heterogeneity has failed. (Middle East, Brazil, and…
—“Can a country lose its cultural heritage if the country borrows from other cultures, which become a part of their culture as well?”—
We have all borrowed from one another for all of history. And those isolated areas that could not borrow from others not only didn’t improve, but in many cases (New Zealand, Australia) regressed. (I am still studying the empires of west Africa and it’s possibly been a problem there also.) However, borrowing isn’t always voluntary,…
Peak Human?
—“Are there any morphological differences between the brain of a highly intelligent person and a person with average intelligence?”— Three positive factors: 1 – greater neurogenesis 2 – greater neural density 3 – greater white matter (reduced friction) Three negative factors 4 – Lack of defect in biochemistry (or other illness) 5 – Lack of…
“Science says liberals, not conservatives, are psychotic”
By Danika Fears, NYP —“Turns out liberals are the real authoritarians. A political-science journal that published an oft-cited study claiming conservatives were more likely to show traits associated with “psychoticism” now says it got it wrong. Very wrong. The American Journal of Political Science published a correction this year saying that the 2012 paper has…
Production or Consumption?
by Ely Harman Women participating in economic production, (beyond a very low level where their specializations are most helpful, or until marriage) are not participating in production but participating in consumption – especially the consumption of their genetic inheritance, in exchange for a single lifetime of careerism and sensation seeking. But all the status and…
—“Are the far left or the far right more intelligent?”—
I did quite a bit of research on this in the mid 00’s when a number of left leaning surveys were published that I was pretty sure were wrong. They were. (Especially about mental illness, which appears to be a near monopoly on the left because of the dominance of women on the left. Why?…
—“Are China And Russia Military Allies?”—
CHINA HAS NO ALLIES, ONLY DEPENDENTS **China has no allies. She only has dependents.** This principle is central to east asian thought. There are no equals. In all circumstances someone is superior and another is subordinate. When confucius could not solve the problem of politics he directed all men to organize into a paternal hierarchy,…
—“If you were the President, and you wanted to destroy America’s power in the world and unity as a nation, what would you do?”—
This assumes American power is good thing (empirically, we have pretty much always been wrong in every single conflict). And it assumes it’s not a good idea to withdraw from the burden of continuing the British Empire’s network of finance and trade despite having dragged humanity kicking and screaming out of ignorance, poverty, and disease…
The Collapse Model of History
As far as I know the ‘Collapse’ model is correct: civilizations expand – like all human opportunities – until the underclasses, now enabled, conquer them. This is true for 3500 bc, 1200bc, 400ad, and 1900ad.
End The Immigration of Labor
The nuclear family lets itself to a village where extended family is nearby and children move between households to provide labor rather than paying the cost of slaves. (really, that’s the answer). The nuclear family requires very cheap land. This is probably the most overlooked cost. The benefit of the nuclear household and shared labor,…
The Problem of Current Families
It’s better stated that women have costly opportunities but have little competition, and males have cheap opportunities and infinite competition; and that women are trying to capture better opportunities and men are simply trying to increase the number of opportunities. ( Ergo, larger testicals for polyamorous apes and smaller testicals for dominant apes. ) There…
The Question of Our Age
If I could reduce the question of our age to a simple comparison, the academy is still trying to produce wisdom lit of low offense, while i produce natural law, and the hard sciences produce physical law, regardless of offense. The reason the academy could replace the church was that they produced wisdom lit in…
The only Possible Means of Institutionalizing Scale Is Markets in Everything
1 – “All human organizations evolve to maximize rents, until it is impossible for those organizations to adapt to change or shocks.” 2 – “Organizations that collapse due to the maximization of rents, and inability to adapt to shocks, do not recover.” 3 – “Collapse is caused by competing organizations with fewer or lower accumulated…
We Are Always Wrong
You know, if we had let the soviets expand their ‘communism’ into the islamic countries, they would have crushed islamism, enforced education, and removed muslim illiteracy as well as superstition. Yet their economies would have eventually failed as all socialist economies do. And then they would have transferred to consumer capitalism and markets out of…
Chinese Insularism Is the Optimum Strategy
My understanding of history is that the Chinese insularism, is absolutely the optimum strategy. The principle problem wth the chinese was that they failed to solve the problem of competing interests, and tort law to resolve them, which prevented them from solving the problems of (formal) reason, and science. If the romans had built the…
British Responsibility for Islam.
—“What is often forgotten is Britain’s responsibility. Islam prior to 1918 was centralized and centred in Istanbul – it was being codified there (and in Ottoman Cairo) and was modernizing. … When Britain backed the Arabs in 1915, they also backed the Saud family and, intententionally, the reactionary Islam of the Arab peninsular to use…
Scandinavia
Everything good about Scandinavia existed before their ‘experiment’. Everything bad about Scandinavia has occurred because of their experiment. Geographic insularity breeds economic, social, political, and military complacency.Wealth allows greater expression of folly. That’s bad. https://mises.org/library/scandinavian-unexceptionalism-culture-markets-and-failure-third-way-socialism#
A Reminder: “I Don’t Hate on Anyone.”
I’m not anti anyone at all. I’m not a racist in particular. I’m anti parasitism in all its forms, particularly falsehoods. I’m anti-folly. And I’m anti-conflict. Now, Natural Law of cooperation that we call ‘reciprocity’ tells us what NOT to do. So I end up writing a lot of “Reprimands” (as a follower explained recently.)…
More People Are Mentally Ill than Is Obvious
Far more people are mentally ill than is obvious from daily discourse. The principle reason is that they are vastly under socialized and their less than able minds are not constrained by continuous training under pressure of peers. Americans are de facto crazy, where other peoples are de facto escapist, religious, or superstitious. This is…

The Dirty Secret of Western Civilization
The dirty secret of western civilization is that while we invented Sovereignty, Reciprocity, Natural Law,and Market Politics that gave us reason and science, we started out as cattle raiders, pirates, and conquerors, and all the ‘goods’ that we gave the world were an accidental byproduct of the only means of governing voluntary organizations of warriors,…
Known Criticisms of The Work
(repost) It’s not like my work isn’t open to criticism. The whole point of doing work in public is to attract criticism in order to improve the work. Friends, followers, and lurkers have been incredibly helpful and contributed significantly to my ‘community’ project: propertarianism. The correct criticisms of my work are: 1 – it’s not…
