Communicating in Person, vs In Writing
—I am amazed by how much better my work is conveyed in conversation than by writing. Or is that just my delusion?– [I]t’s just a lot easier to tailor a conversation to an individual’s points of reference than it is to imagined points of reference. This is one of the reasons novelists write for someone…
Idea: Contractualism (Liberty, Civic Society, Under Rule Of Law)
(important) [W]hy do we associate Contractualism with Anarchism, where there is extraordinary demand for the state, instead of associating Contractualism with Nationalism where there is almost no demand for the state? Anarchism evolved in the middle east, in eastern european borderlands(owned but unregulated territories), and in western european ghettos(walled subcultures). Contractualism evolved with near kin…

How Does A President Lead A Country Fairly And Democratically With So Many People Having Mixed Agendas, Ideas And Opinions?
It’s impossible, since democracy is only capable of selecting priorities among people with homogenous interests, and impossible to select between conflicting choices among people with heterogeneous interests. Markets let us cooperate on means despite different ends – no monopolies. Democracy is a monopoly in which we cannot cooperate on means because of different ends. Democracy…
Why Shall We Ignore Any Human Law, State, King (president), Judge Or Lawgiver?
Laws cannot be given, they can only be discovered. Lawgiving is logically impossible. One can issue commands. One can negotiate contractual provisions on your behalf. But one cannot create law, only command, legislation, regulation, and contractual provision. There is one natural law, that can be stated in the positive or negative, but must be stated…

To get status signals and attention in a country where everyone is desperately lonely, lives an an illusion of their own making created out of consumer goods, and lacks any kind of validation from others because everyone else is doing the same thing. Yes, that’s really the reason. https://www.quora.com/Why-do-people-in-America-take-something-thats-innocent-and-turn-it-into-something-that-they-think-is-racist
Are There Serious Contemporary Fascist Philosophers?
Fascism is a ‘military’ strategy for Marshaling all economic, political, and cultural resources for the purpose of opposing Bolshevism, Communism, Socialism, and totalitarianism by the conduct of military, economic and cultural warfare.

Does Evolutionary Theory Presuppose A Preceding Grand Design Or Natural Law?
Natural Law (Empirically Discovered Law) consists of general rules, that are location, demographic, custom, culture, and religion independent methods of providing decidability in matters of conflict. (Law is prohibitive -negative- assertions) Negative ethics of Natural Law are usually reducible to the Silver Rule: do not unto others as you would not have done unto you.…
Is Liberalism Idealistic As Opposed To Being Realistic?
It’s Utopian, dysgenic, devolutionary, and entirely false, which is why it sells. You don’t think religions sell because they’re realistic or true? Neither do political ideologies. Here is some humbling and painful truth: 1) Those civilizations that were most successful in preventing from access to food, delaying reproduction, preventing access to reproduction, enslaving, starving, killing,…

Q&A: —“Curt: Is There Any Morality Beyond Self Interest?”—
—“Do you believe that morality beyond self-interest is entirely false as a result?”— [I] don’t believe in anything, because the term is archaic. I can state that it’s a strong truth candidate, because despite extremely exhaustive efforts by highly biased researchers, we cannot find a single instance of moral action that is not in itself…

Why Is Neo-progressivism So Reliant Upon The Re-appropriation Of Marxist Doctrine And Critical Theory?
1) Conservatism must speak in historical, moral, allegorical, and religious language because if stated ratio-scientifically it’s reducible to ‘eugenics in everything’, just as all of western civilization has been since the Kurgan invasions. So conservatives do not lie they just do not speak the truth. 2) Neo-Liberalism is just an attempt to turn america into…
