I Don’t Want To Disenfranchise Anyone
[A] market for consumer goods and a market for commons both benefit from producers and consumers. But I am an Aspie. I hate conflict. I don’t shun from it. That would be immoral. But I hate it none the less. I grew up in an environment so horrible that no one would envy it. And…
Actually, I’m Not An Atheist
(important piece) (on the existence of gods) —“You’re one of my favorite Catholic Atheists”— [W]ell, thank you. Although, while a scientist, I am not an atheist. I am just what is called a Naturalist, and not a Supernaturalist. I understand that Gods exist. They exist as numbers exist. If I was an atheist you wouldn’t…
Paternalism and Classism, But Not Racism
[I]f you adopt paternalism: that your kin are an extended family, and that you will work with other extended families to cooperate non-parasitically with all other extended families, and that we produce nations not states, then you get this wonderful ability for us to religion, culture, race, class and caste. We struggle with a certain…

. . .
Eli Harman One of Robert Axelrod’s findings from studying iterated prisoner’s dilemma competitions (“The Evolution of Cooperation”) is that the standard “tit for tat” strategy can be improved upon by adding an element of forgiveness, to break otherwise insoluable and never-ending patterns of recrimination. Clinging steadfastly to vengeance as an aim, when peace and cooperation…
The Source of Difference Between Center and West
—[M]uslims everywhere (or rather i should say most Muslims i have encountered) do not accept the logical and normative distinction that western philosophy effectuates between the truth-value of statements and the origin of those statements. This is the true nexus of the conflict between Islam and the West. It is a real conflict with stunning…
The Principle of Exchange Makes Philosophy Much Easier
[P]olitical Philosophy is a lot easier when you just start from the premise that all goods are hypothetical, all bads are not, and that the only means of accumulating the knowledge to determine good from bad is exchange. This eliminates the fallacy that any of us know what is in fact good for all, other…
The Pentatuch, Bible, and Constitution?
[T]here is very little difference between the negotiated construction of the Pentateuch, or the Bible, and the American Constitution: they were the product of committees constructing the criteria for civil law. This is quite contradictory to the Indo European Tradition in which law EVOLVES. But these things are constructs of man for the purpose of…
Who Invented The Big Lie?
[W]e start with Zoroaster who is the first philosopher. —“Zoroaster sees the human condition as the mental struggle between aša (truth) and druj (lie). The cardinal concept of aša—which is highly nuanced and only vaguely translatable—is at the foundation of all Zoroastrian doctrine, including that of Ahura Mazda (who is aša), creation (that is aša),…

[T]he Technologies of Cooperation 1) Tribal Hunter Gatherer -> Steppe/Desert -> Agrarian -> Urban -> (Slum?) 2) Headman -> Chieftain -> King -> President/Prime Minister -> (Judge?) 3) Memory -> Oral Tradition -> Written -> Printing -> Media -> (Digital Records?) 4) Norm -> Religion -> Law -> Credit -> (Digital Reputation?) 5) Spiritualism-> Mythos->…
Q&A: The Bicameral Mind?
—“Q: I came to be aware [of] Julian Jaynes’ thesis materials. Seems to jive with your theme, Curt. You alluding to a similar theme when referencing the Pentateuch, or the Bible?”—Mark Palmer [G]reat question Mark. Great Question. Well, I don’t really agree with how Jaynes is stating it, but I agree that the ‘separateness’ of…
Isn’t America a Germanic Not Just Anglo Country?
(important piece) (I will write more on this later. But it will explain my emphasis on operationalism and strict construction) [B]efore about 1830, when the British Empire adopted commercial universalism, Britain was a member of Germanic, north sea, and Hanseatic, civilizations. We tend to compare our British ancestors to Today’s Britons who are heavily catholicized…
Q&A: “Curt, What Do You Think of The Alt Right Authors?”
—“I know that myself and others would be interested to read what you have to say about some big names on the alt right. I am assuming you are familiar with the work of the following: Jonathan Bowden, Guilliame Faye, Julius Evola, Alain DeBenoist.”— [C]hris, (all) Great Question Chris. We can communicate using different technologies.…
Creating a Moat Around Russia: Six Points Explaining Why Putin Is Acting Strategically
[C]REATING A MOAT AROUND RUSSIA: SIX POINTS EXPLAINING WHY PUTIN IS ACTING STRATEGICALLY SIX POINTS 1) The fall of Ukraine was unexpected and Putin feared a spread to Moscow. Rather than call up the USA or Merkel and offer to lease Crimea for 99 years with an option to renew, and offer to exchange the…
The Templars Did It Right: Room And Board
[Y]OU SEE THE TEMPLARS HAD A GOOD DEAL: ROOM AND BOARD. And you see ISIS doing the same. And we see Ukrainian Volunteers dong the same. And you saw american revolutionary soldiers doing it. And you saw european soldiers throughout history do it. The central problem of raising an army is not weapons, it is…
I’m Not Trying To Start a Cult – But To Restore The West By Starting A War.
(from elsewhere) I don’t understand Shaun. I think people who have been following me for a few years know why I use FB and why I run all these “tests”. Maybe it isn’t obvious any longer. I construct theories. I test them. These theories are designed to help me understand what I don’t. So I…
The Evolution Of Human Regulation
[E]VOLUTION OF METHODS OF REGULATION 1) RELIGION – threat of ostracization. (culture) 2) LAW – threat of punishment, loss of property or liberty. (state) 3) CREDIT – threat of loss of consumption. (suppliers) 4) SOFTWARE – threat of loss of opportunity. (friends) Religion records your birth, promises, and deaths. Law produces a history of your…
The Evolution of Everything That Man Uses To Do Everything
(very important concepts) (important piece) [W]eber was right, in that the evolution of civilization was achieved through improvements in various kinds of ‘calculation’ – a term which will not sufficiently convey the depth of importance or meaning to the uninitiated. CALCULATION (ability to ‘think’ and plan) – Perception, Comparison, Decidability, and Memory We are somewhat…
Reframe The Debate: Conservative = Aristocratic
(reframe the debate) WESTERN ‘CONSERVATISM’ = ‘ARISTOCRACY’ = ‘ARISTOCRATIC EGALITARIANISM’ [W]e must reframe the debate, swapping the word ‘Conservative’ for ‘Aristocratic’, and ‘progressive’ for ‘Socialistic’. Aristocratic (paternal meritocratic) Egalitarian (open to all of merit who voluntarily take the oath not to steal.)
The Secrets of the West’s Success
(important piece) [W]e can finally piece together the West’s struggle to ‘transcend’ the human animal and to become our gods. Truth is the common thread. THE SECRETS OF THE WEST’S SUCCESS: AXIS 1) Militarism, Militia, Heroism, Truth, AXIS 2) Sovereignty. Private Property, Voluntary Exchange, Contract AXIS 3) Jury, Common Law, Rule of law & Universal…
