Is Human Rights A Cultural Thing That Simply Does Not Apply To Cultures That Do Not Support Them? Why Or Why Not?

YET VOLUNTARY COOPERATION IS NOT POSSIBLE IN ALL CULTURES.(trigger warning: uncomfortable truths) (a) We tend to conflate consumer capitalism and democracy but they have nothing to do with one another other than that they require extraordinary restraint in the behavior of the population. So when…
On Gossip and Shunning
by Vivek Upadhyay GOSSIP Gossip is a non-correspondent, warranty-free means of enhancing personal status through deploying and extrapolating upon selective information about the person being gossiped about. Through use of loaded statements, jokes, rash impressionistic judgments, etc. in a shared consensus often exhibiting “shared information bias” despite the demonstrable costs of this error, gossipers seek…
The Oath
“[I] shall not lie, cheat, steal, impose costs upon others or the commons, nor shall I let go unpunished those who do.”
To William Kristol
TWEETS TO WILLIAM KRISTOL Possessing Courage is not the same as possessing solutions. Conservatism and universal equal enfranchisement are incompatible. Sentiments do not arguments make. Beliefs not policy make. Moralizing not philosophy make. Counter-signaling is but weakness. Conservatism is counter to the strategy of the mass. Why? It is personally costly, meritocratic, deterministically eugenic. And…

Commons via Externality of Teaching Sacredness
[S]acred rituals (church/temple in particular) reward us with the pack response (spirituality/elation) and inclusive signals in exchange for learning the skill of suppression of our impulses. The most aggressive and demanding ritual is that of islam’s multitude of demands and daily repetitions, the most intellectually demanding judaism, the least demanding and most disorganized christianity, the…

British vs American vs German Cultural Rules
[L]eft the video on, and ended up listening to Brits debate policy all night, and it is very clear that there is a difference between the moral structure of British argument and the LEGAL structure of american argument. In my dreams I kept arguing with people about the use of nonsense words. There is also…

Are Human Rights Neo-imperialism?
Lets first state that the question itself is stated uses improper loading and framing. (See writing in EPrime for proper construction of questions. ) A better phrasing of such a question is: “Is the Human Rights Movement an extension of Western Imperialism?” 1) The question depends FIRST upon whether you consider REGIONAL Religious, Political, Cultural,…

What Are The First Things One Should Know In Political Theory?
The first question of ethics is ‘Why don’t I kill you and take your stuff?’. The first question of politics is “Why don’t me and mine kill you and yours and take your stuff?” The first question of group evolutionary strategy is “How can we either kill them and take their stuff, or prevent them…
Are Human Rights Superior Than Sovereignty?
The question is somewhat interesting since both Human Rights (which are all property rights by the way), and Sovereignty are ambitions one can seek to produce not states of nature that must be abridged. However, the misleading nature of the question aside: The ‘Postwar Consensus’ and the International Charter of Human Rights, were designed to…
The Answer
(religion) [J]ust because your ancestors valued a particular comforting lie or falsehood is not a reason to perpetuate the lie or falsehood. We are comfortable now with suppressing lies with physical science where were were not so in the past. We are currently uncomfortable with suppressing lies in social science: ethics, politics, economics, religion, and…
No More Books Of Lies
[N]O MORE BOOKS OF LIES The Vedas were invented to control The Avesta invented to divide The Talmud invented to deceive. The Bible invented to enslave. The Koran invented to conquer. Das Capital to steal. The General Theory to Impoverish. The Truth to set us free. NO MORE LIES. ?#?NewRight?
Something Useful To Say to Young Libertarians and Conservatives
[I] think, that if I could say something useful to young libertarian and conservative men and women, it would be that fulfillment and money are increasingly difficult to find in combination. Worse, you cannot any longer look for insurance from a stable family. Worse, it is now nearly impossible to save for your old age…
The Ukrainian Revolution
[C]ONTRARY TO THE WORDS OF USEFUL IDIOTS IN THE WEST 1) The revolution was financed by local oligarchs not americans, because the president got greedy and threatened the other oligarchical clans. The American state department supports all people’s economic prosperity and economic development because this leads to peace, wealth, and governments hat focus on internal…
Putting Degenerates in the Place
(by Eli Harman) [N]o man is born free. Rights must be won, and rights must be defended. (All rights are property rights.) No man can do that alone. So you accept limits on your freedom in order to confederate, to cooperate, and win what you may. As a practical matter, we can say that liberty…

Why Not Prosecute Those Who Profit from Genocide
THE MIDDLE CLASS NEGOTIATES. ARISTOCRACY PROSECUTES. WOMEN, PRIESTS, AND STATE APOLOGIZE. [I] prosecute falsehoods. I’m agnostic in prosecuting falsehoods. I prosecute libertarian and conservative falsehoods as hard or harder than I prosecute progressive falsehoods. Why? Because libertarian and conservative literature, philosophy, and rhetoric has been a demonstrated failure in competition against socialist, feminist, and postmodern…
Debating Molyneux isn’t Useful for Either of Us. Discussion Is.
—“Honestly though, there needs to be a debate between Curt and Stefan.”— [L]ook I love Stefan Molyneux. I don’t want to debate him.

Is your example different from someone buying blocks of the best tix for a rock concert, and then selling those tix for profit at far higher prices?
