Q&A: ANSWERS TO AN INDIVIDUAL’S QUESTIONS.
(interesting)

–“Hi Curt. I’ve been gradually becoming acquainted with you and your work over time. (…) The NLI is very interested and seems promising, if not very ambitious.”—
That seems odd because I dont’ know any individual, group, organization, or movement that has greater ambitions. So if we are communicating otherwise help me understand what you THINK our ambitions are, so that we can state them more clearly. 😉

–“I have several questions that occur to me from time to time and would like to know if it’s better to ask you questions here (direct message) or publicly on Twitter (X).”–
In general it’s not up to me, but up to whether you want to ask the questions in public or in private. My assumption is that if one person has questions then others may, and so it’s best to treat any question that might have broader value (like yours today) as of public interest. I find people are more comfortable with PM’s so I’ll encourage that.

–“Sometimes questions asked publicly can seem pointed or in bad faith. “–
And sometimes I assume bad faith when it’s just the only way the individual knows how to express his or her ideas. So PM’s are useful because you have the space to try to communicate clearly.

–“Some things I’m interested in knowing, pertaining to you, are questions such as: What happened to the Propertarian Institute,”–
I started out under Capitalismv3 as a blog, then to propertarianism as a blog, then when we formed the institute converted to propertarianinstitute, and then when we determined that our primary direction was the science logic and law rather than philosophy, we felt we needed a rebranding into the natural law institute. So, Facebook-> Meta, Twitter ->X, PropertarianInstitute -> Natural Law Institute. Same thing. I think we will stick with this because it’s the closest possible name to what we really do.

–“how much is historical anti-semitism related to your take on abrahamic subversion (or whatever the primary negative of abrahamism is.”–
I don’t work from that position, but instead, after I solved the problem of testimonial truth, I slowly discovered that there was more information content about human beings in their method of lying than in all their theology, philosophy and truth claims. My study of lying combined with neuroscience and computationalism helped me reduce human cognition to first principles, which I then used to explain the civilizational differences.
For a variety of reasons the only two civs founded on what we call ‘law’ are jewish and european but these take separate group strategies one being the feminine and one the masculine.
So I think of it as explaining why anti-semitism arose, and how to stop lying whether male or female, or regardless of civilization.
And as such I was able to explain the current crisis of the age as the introgression of Jewish feminine group strategy and the feminine means of persuasion, education, and argumentation, combined with the introression of women in to polity, economy and academy, and illustrate how the marxist sequence through work,, the Abrahamic sequence before it, are all expressions of the feminine strategy of undermining males, and of course, masculinity of western civilization. Without understanding why there are no surviving cognitively female civilizations other than those hosted by others (the jews). And why western civilization evolved so much faster than all of the rest combined because of he western group strategy.
So I just do the science. The history of antisemitism and the reasons for jewish persecution are well understood and not exactly a mystery. And while there is certainly blame due the jews, there is also blame for host populations for whom conveniently wiping them out, and taking all their assets, and disbanding them is vengeance not restitution, punishment, reformation, and prevention, preventing reoccurrence.

–“I find the implied anti-semitism a hard part to swallow emotionally, even though the arguments make sense. That is, it may not be bigoted in any way, yet my cultural momentum makes it hard to deal with anything that can be mistaken for anti-semitism perhaps.)”–

Well, did you expect that the greeks wouldn’t kill socrates? That they wouln’t try to kill aristotle? That the church wouldn’t prosecute Galileo? That the church and the fundamentalists wouldn’t deride Darwin and Malthus? why do you think the entire left-wing program is a revolt against darwin, menger, malthus, spencer, and nietzche and their attempt to fully restore classical civilization’s aristocratic virtues? And so why do you think people won’t attack me for the same reasons? (they do).
Truth is painful sometimes. But in the end, someone has to be responsible for not only fixing the problem, but preventing its reoccurrence. Do you think it’s in the jews interest to continue to pretend their history between the Torah 500bc and 1500ad didn’t exist? That we should be held accountable for our sins of slavery despite ending it world over, or our failures of wars in the Middle East despite dragging mankind out of ignorance and poverty? What about mesoamericans who were some of the worst people ever to live on the planet other than maybe the Assyrians? Then why shouldn’t Jews, Muslims, Chinese and everyone else equally account and reform given their history of crimes? (Hard to blame hindus for anything really.;) ) All of us need to reform our ways one way or another. None of us is free of historical sin, not the least of the Jews whose persecution is evidence of their success at provoking it for reasons that are impolitic to state. Or the Muslims that have destroyed seven great civilizations of the ancient world and reduced them to ashes of superstition, ignorance, untrustworthiness, dysgenia, persistent clannishness, tribalism, conflict, and poverty, and the inability to form a stable political order.

So yes, taking on the responsibility for understanding the problems of modernity, and producing solutions that not only restore our civilization and social and political harmony, but also prevent future conflicts between peoples of different cultural traditions, requires we face our taboos and ADAPT TO THE TRUTH so that w can produce a truthful future in which these lies, deceits, frauds, crimes and conflicts of history are no longer tolerated by anyone from any group, under the law.

Either you can overcome those fears like the rest of us or you are unable to take responsibility for solving the problems of the age. Only you can make that choice. All we can do is acknowledge the rest of us went through the same process and I struggle with these issues every day. It was psychologically harmful for me to do the work I did and it took a year of therapy to overcome the stress of it. So I clearly understand.

But someone has to be responsible. Or the result will vary from civil war to collapse to dark age.

Are you willing to take that responsibility despite the emotional burden?

–“And finally, should I wish to, what ways could I help the NLI? “–
The best thing you and anyone else can do is learn the material – despite that it’s hard work. Because what we do is complex and ‘social proof’ by evidence that each one of us who ‘self graduates’ into competency in the natural law and the methodology we use, is profoundly more competent at answering hard questions than any other intellectual group past or present. Only after you’re competent or at least understand some fraction of the work, can you contribute other than in educating yourself and others. Thankfully martin and gabriel and others are always willing to help.

–“Other questions I have are: What is the current state of aristocratic society in Britain and/or America,”–

The UK has enough aristocratic culture left for another generation. I suspect my generation is the last remnant living the the states, though there are some artifacts in the south. In other words we can resurrect civilization if we do it soon.

–“why does East Asia’s higher IQ not correlate to more innovative success, in league with the West or better (is it a class size issue?),”–
A couple of reasons we need a little more data to confirm.
(a) higher neoteny lower aggression.
(b) culture of harmony and face before truth rather than heroism and truth before face.
(c) insufficient middle class to promote that heroism without descending into eastern decadence.
(d) There appears to be an obvious difference in asian, european, and jewish cognition that covers the spectrum from the formal to the verbal with us in the middle. These are the three ‘smart’ groups. We are seeing good numbers out of the upper classes from India, but then they are ‘part us’ so to speak in those upper classes, and there are a LOT more indians than whites, and the best and most ambitious come here.

–“and finally, what do you think the of Eric Kaufmann’s book WhiteShift, a book on future Western demographics and how it is likely to change the West’s demographic base massively, and what this means for projected society innovation, (slowing dragging the rest of the world kicking and screaming, to transcendence?). “–
a) I’m not confident this multicultural experiment won’t see the same reversal as the nationalist movements after the last mixing we had, that forced all of Europe into another ‘big sort’. I think it will very likely do so. No civilization in history has gone through this without collapse.
b) that said at the rate IQ is declining due to immigration vs white non-reproduction, it is not going to be possible to produce a majority middle-class society necessary for rule of law and participatory government. In part that is what is occurring today in our voting patterns.
c) As such it will not be possible to maintain our competitive advantage in science and technology, nor will we be able to continue to persist our institutions that guarantee rule of law and property rights that provide the advantage over everyone other than the UK. that combination is necessary to produce our historical competitive advantage.
d) It’s not even clear we can maintain the territorial integrity of the continent, and as such whether the economic and strategic advantage of the continent can be preserved – without which we’d be as poor as Europe.
e) The future is always kaleidic but I have a very good record over the long term, and every single thing looks like sh***t to me. (sorry). That doesn’t mean a rabbit won’t come out of a hat but miracles l like that are useless because hope isn’t strategy and faith isn’t a tactic.

–“Sorry, that was a lot. It has been very intellectually rewarding following you, and I’m glad your health has been improving!”–

I’m glad it’s been rewarding for you, and just your saying so makes me feel joy. So, don’t apologize. Investing in good people is not only my job but how I gain fulfillment in life. I just wish there were more good people to invest in. 🙁

I would rather answer a well-thought series of questions like this than try to guess what people are thinking when they as something vaguely coherent in a tweet that’s half accusatory because they don’t know how to communicate their questions otherwise. 😉

Cheers.
