—“There is an intimate relation between the work of Wagner and of Nietzsche. It is important to stress this relation, for Nietzsche himself made a major manoeuvre of distraction, intending to demonstrateâ??perhaps first of all to himselfâ??that his work was independent of, and even opposed to, that of Richard Wagner. This exercise of concealment has…

by Bill Joslin —“Our people are the most sacred thing we have left”—Adrienne Barbeau-Bot CONSTRUCTION The Immediate, The Temporal. : familial, family and kin. Kin is sacred. The intermediate: The Intertemporal. Tribal. Those families which share norms, traditions and culture. Culture, traditions and norms are sacred. Intergenerational: national. The accumulated social and common capital generated…

[W]hy these nitwits don’t grasp that their sophisms merely provide a vehicle for (a) training, (b) recruitment, (c) counter-signaling is beyond me. I (we) use the useful idiots as excuses for advertising, and like true members of the herd, they can’t control NPC impulses. 😉 — BEGIN — @curtdoolittle Duplicity, ir-reciprocity, honor-in-deceit, profiting from inciting…

Question: “Why have our marvelous brains formulated two diametrically opposite explanations?” Answer: Cognitive Division of Labor: Predator (action, dominance, science) — vs.– Prey (mindfulness, submission, religion). Problem: Demand for mindfulness increases with uncertainty. Post tribal life removes resource uncertainty at the cost of social uncertainty (female herd equality, male pack hierarchy). Scale increases uncertainty. Production…

by Adam Voight An example of why Religion is more moral than science, engineering, philosophy or magic. “Saruman” – Old English for “engineer”. Of course, over the long run the difference between religion and magic is contested and variable. This is why Odin is the sketchiest Sky Father ever. He is both Gandalf and Sauron,…

(FB 1541426321 Timestamp) I told ya. Religion was the hardest problem in social science. The rest was trivial by comparison. But once you understand religion as a science, you are no longer bound by the limits of your experience.

  [W]e all use the tools available to us to attempt express our will to power (demand for agency). I have built a bunch of companies now, and am building a body of work. I’ve studied every field that I can study without getting my hands too dirty. I amuse myself teaching men of various…

1) Their advantage was lie and cheat and deceive– and we weren’t aware 2) Then their advantage was lie and cheat and deceive– and we we didn’t stop and punish them 3) Then their advantage was lie and cheat and deceive– and we didn’t deceive them back. 4) Now we are – and they are…

[R]egarding “honor-in-deceit”, let’s tease this out because it is beyond that. If you remember Japanese, say during WWII, only cowards surrender. I true warrior would rather die in battle or by suicide (not agreeing with that, just observing). So here we have not just “honor-in-deceit” but “mocking, and gloating”, so that if you TRUST and…

[I] have (((Their))) Method of Argument down in form. James has it down in stages of argument and counter-argument. We just need to educate everyone on it. Then we need to educate everyone that the only reason to NOT engage in ‘warfare’ and instead in debate, is if we are actually debating in order to…

[I]t was different reading SCI-FI in the 60’s and 70’s than it is today. Memories of the world war, the vietnam era, the cold war and space race provided context for them. The promise of a star trek future more so. Watergate, Vietnam Exit, and The oil crisis was a death blow. And so these…

[D]uplicity, ir-reciprocity, honor-in-deceit, profiting from inciting and exploitation of moral hazard, false promise, justificationary sophism (Pilpul), straw man sophism (Critique), and disapproval, shaming, rallying, moralizing as substitute for argument is a cultural strategy. The Abrahamists institutionalized this method of ‘resistance’ to the Masculine(Aryan) method: reciprocity, honor in truth duty and sacrifice, suppression of moral hazard,…

—“Have you read Robert D. Kaplan’s “warrior politics” legitimizing the doctrine of preemptive strikes….?”— [L]egitimacy is a nonsense word. It means precisely nothing. The application of military violence is not a moral but practical question. We tell weak women and men it is moral – to quiet their inner child. As I posted earlier, both…

  —“Absolutism asserts a preference as a good and then justifies that preference with facts (fits the world around the individual). Scientific Law of Tort models the social world. With this knowledge, the polity asserts its good in the name of the state, and the individuals assert their will to power within those limits for…

[T]ruth is enough. End the lies. End The Entire Abrahamic Program of Lies: False Reality, False History, False Promise (Moral Hazard), Pilpul (via positiva sophism), Critique (via negativa sophism), Straw Manning, and the Dysgenic Strategy of the Herd fearing being left behind by their betters. Ethnocentrism; Nationalism; Nature, Ancestor, and Monarchical Thanks (worship), and the…

[I] teach by creating games that men will compete in. This is how men are best taught. Instead of asking questions I start arguments. Instead of preaching an angle, I attack a proposition and force others to defend it. Instead of assuming equality I play king of the hill and bait them into attacking me.…

[S]o the military says they can’t send overstretched troops to the mexican border and the left seems to think that in the coming revolution will be settled by the state, and the right thinks the state will intervene. Like I said, this is the most fragile empire in history. There are only two cities with…
