Islands and Ghettos
(Important piece) The British on their isle and colonies, and the Jews in their ghettos and borderlands had the same incentives: protected from the east by the Teutons they could embrace the commercial and universal as ultimately decideable good rather than territory and nation as ultimately decideable good, and abandon inter temporality that is necessary…
Words Define, Money Incents, Violence Prevents
—“Words define the problem. Money creates positive incentives to solve the problem. Violence removes parasitic alternatives to solving the problem.”—Con Eli Khan Words can sometimes solve the problem. Money will often solve what words cannot. When money won’t solve the problem, only violence will.
Pender on Suppression of Parasitism
—“Occasions to lie stem from inadequate suppression of the multitude forms of parasitism. Suppress the parasitism, and you suppress the incentive to lie. Suppress lies of action, and you suppress lies of words.”—Steve Pender Absolutely perfect. Each of you seems to specialize in some area or other. Steve Really has got this area down. Once…
How To Keep Books For Management First Rather Than For Government First.
You cannot get a CPA to keep good books no matter what you do. Best advice is to hire an MBA as your CFO. Then strong director or CPA to work for him. CPA’s worry about compliance first and business second, and MBA’s about information for the business first, and compliance as a sunk cost.…
Differences in Families, Clans, Tribes, Nations, Races
Working theory: PROBLEM Constant regression toward the mean creates the need for persistent pressures to maintain a genetic advantage in the group. Meaning that groups can regress easily at any point through admixture, or shifting of rates of reproduction within the group. VALUE Man can adapt to any circumstance without requiring evolutionary mutation, but due…
Individualism = Statism?
(Profoundly Important Concept) The Westphalian peace was a unique western invention making STATES accountable for their members. Individualism = Statism. States created individualism. Throughout all history groups have been accountable for the actions of their members. Families, clans, tribes, nations. To do otherwise is to force the host population to bear the cost of domesticating…
How Humans Adapt More Than Evolve
In my work, I assume that very little genetic ‘evolution’ occurs at all. And that instead, humans possess an extraordinary ability to express multiple evolutionary strategies in response to changes, pressures, and shocks. We can call upon an amazing wealth of genetic expression of ability if we need to. And it can occur rapidly by…
What Does The Word ‘Is’ Mean? (The “Copula”)
” I promise the subject exists as the experience of… “ The cat is black = “I promise if you look at the cat it will appear to reflect the color black to you, or anyone else that observes it.” WHY DO I CARE? WHY DO YOU CARE? If you cannot make your argument without…
Grammar Can Be Taught As Testimony
GRAMMAR IS TAUGHT AS JUSTIFICATION, NOT CRITICISM But the problem of our era is the elimination of pseudoscience and deceit put forth by Marxists, Socialists, Feminists, and Postmodernists. So there is no reason we cannot teach grammar as not just ‘the good manners of victorian expression’, but as ‘the art of preventing the pollution of…
The ‘Good’ In Religion Is The Civic Ritual. Not The Content
There is nothing in the bible that made the church good. They could have read greek legends and done good with them. It’s the ritual that matters, not the content. What the church spread was literacy, and diplomacy, and eventually natural law. The rest was a bucket of catastrophic lies. What’s the difference between…
We Already Had The Second Coming…
WE ALREADY HAD THE SECOND COMING, AND IT WAS AS CATASTROPHICALLY TRAGIC FOR MANKIND AS THE FIRST TIME AROUND. **What’s the difference between the Apostles, the Council of Nicaea, The Pulpit, and Boaz/Freud/Marx, The Frankfurt School, the Media? Nothing.*** The difference is one of technological sophistication. The great lies of Jewish and Christian Mysticism, and…
Religious Submission Is Incompatible with Sovereignty and therefore Liberty
Monotheistic religion requires submission. Submission is the opposite of, and incompatible with sovereignty. And existential sovereignty is required for the experience of Liberty. All else is neither liberty nor sovereignty but permission under submission. Ergo no religion that demands submission can produce a condition of Liberty.
The Liberal Blind Spot
(SOMEONE ASKED ME TO REPLY TO THIS ARTICLE) THE LIBERAL BLIND SPOT http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/29/opinion/sunday/the-liberal-blind-spot.html NICHOLAS 1) Groupishness and Clannishness are empirically existent, universally demonstrable, human behaviors. These should be taught in academia because teaching universalism is a lie. In other words, the academy lies. 2) We teach marxism, socialism, almost all philosophies, comparative religion. So why…
March, April, May Quotes
An empire with many nuclear weapons is economically, financially, diplomatically, and militarily vulnerable. Many small nation states aren’t vulnerable if armed with a few nuclear weapons, artillery, and militia. ( It certainly SEEMS like the entirety of the NATO/UN organizations are nothing more than welfare programs: desperate attempts for post-empire anglos to perpetuate by bureaucracy what…
Tips on Strict Construction
TIPS ON STRICT CONSTRUCTION Strict construction, in operational language, is extremely difficult, because it requires you have procedural understanding of the subject. Strictly constructed propertarian arguments SHOULDN’T be terribly difficult because each operation is subjectively testable by you. What I’ve seen from others efforts, is an attempt to mix non-operational moral language with feigned attempts…
Specialization In Everything
Athens indeed gets the credit for what were often spartan victories. And that is because navies (hamiltonian ethics) are more rewarding than armies (jeffersonian ethics). And that western europe (france, italy, and britan) had prosperous navies only because germany held the territories against invasion. And that rome was prosperous as a naval and trading power…
Definition: Philosopher (What Does A Philosopher Do?)
What’s it mean to be a philosopher? What is this thing we call philosophy? We could say that it is a discipline by which we learn the craft of reasoning. So, many of us philosophize just as many of us repair machines, or do housework, or use mathematics. But using these tools is different from…
The Territorial Organization of Americans
—“Fully half of white Americans live in places smaller than 45,200 people.”— Here’s how the breakdown for where white Americans live works out: Rural areas–Newton IA (0–15,000) 26.4% Newton–Wallingford CT (15,000–45,000) 18.9% Wallingford–Des Moines (45,000–370,000) 20.9% Des Moines–Indianapolis (370,000–1.2 million) 11.8% Suburbs of cities 11.6% The top twenty cities 10.5% Our elites live in cities,…
Perfect Government
NOT ONLY CAN WE HAVE A PERFECT GOVERNMENT – WE HAD IT. We had the perfect government: Monarchy, Multi-House Parliaments with one house per class, and the Common Law under Rule of law, under Nationalism (tribalism). The Monarch had only power of veto. The houses functioned as a market for trading commons between the different…
A Lesson In Natural Law
FOR SALON: A LESSON IN NATURAL LAW As one of the principle philosophers of what liberals refer to as “reactionary fascism”…. … I’d like to add that the problem with both neo-liberalism and movement-conservatism has been the assumption that the other side would eventually ‘catch on’ rather than pursue their own interests. Liberal(socialist) strategy reflects…
Religion: Accountability
The Third Principle of Freedom of Religion is accountability. That is, that all members of any faith are responsible for the heresies within that faith. Ergo, if your faith has members that violate natural law, reciprocity, or accountability then, this religion is by definition not a right, and does not protect fundamental rights.
Religion: The Principle of Reciprocity
The Second Principle of Freedom of Religion is Reciprocity. So if a religion violates the principle of reciprocity, then it cannot be claimed as a fundamental right, since reciprocity is a necessary fundamental right.
How Can Human Rights Be Taken Away?
Rather foolish question. The question is how do we create them in the first place. Human rights consist in a list of things we seek to create. We are not all that good at creating them. And I think the question is still open whether we should create them, or whether people should earn them…
Had Bin Laden Been Hiding In Australia, Would The United States Have Trust Australia More Than Pakistan?
Australia and Canada both suffer from extraordinary privileges that they attribute to their own actions or own beliefs rather than the windfall produced by their ancestor’s conquest of primitive lands, using science, guns, germs, steel, accounting, and rule of law. None of us take Australia or Canada any more seriously than we take the girl…
Is It Possible To Have A Perfect Government And Make Everyone Happy?
We had the perfect government: Monarchy, Multi-House Parliaments with one house per class, and the Common Law under Rule of law, under Nationalism (tribalism). The Monarch had only power of veto. The houses functioned as a market for trading commons between the different socio-economic classes. And an homogenous polity can act redistributively because everyone is…
