NO ONE LOVES A SLAYER OF GODS
(lament)(stat of affairs)
You know, I’m slaying my own gods. Which, I don’t think other people appreciate. š
It takes a lot of guts to slay your own gods. What are you left with, when you have slain them? Yourself.
But you cannot say you pursue truth if you are not wiling to slay your gods if they are false gods. You merely pursue comfort or confirmation. Not truth.
So we have now Mises, Rothbard and Popper – all of whom are half right and half tragically wrong because of their use of pseudoscience and verbalism to attempt to expand the cosmopolitan social norms of the insular ghetto to the rest of the world. Just as we white folk have tried to apply northern european high trust norms to the rest of the world. Just as the Muslims wish to. Just as the Germans tried to.
But you see, democracy is itself a folly, while truth telling, property rights, the common law, and the militial guarantee of property rights and the common law, have allowed us the luxury of limited democracy in the past. And we tried to export democracy rather than truth telling, property rights, the common law, and militial guarantee of property rights and the common law.
But worse, the jewish system failed them. They have been murdered and persecuted for their system, and nearly eradicated outside of Europe, and only not eradicated in Europe because of anglos.
So Huntington’s clash of civilizations, and Kotin’s tribes turn out to be a fairly accurate description of the state of the world. We have tried the enlightenment (anglo) model, and while science has succeeded, democracy has failed. We have tried the french model and it is currently failing catastrophically. We have tried the jewish model and it has been an unmitigated disaster for the west. We have tried the german model, and we crushed it.
The enlightenment political ambition – the promise of universalism – has been a catastrophic failure everywhere we have taken it.
It may not be clear to the people who follow me yet, but the highest correspondence between human institutions, truth, science, and therefore correspondence with reality. is constructed by truth, property, the common law, and scientific inquiry. And truth is only desirable to a minority of peoples. For most, truth, and therefore, property, liberty, are only available to a minority of peoples.
Universalism is done unless it is conducted at the lowest common denominator.
