I AM A CONTRACTUALIST: A CLASSICAL LIBERAL CONSERVATIVE LIBERTARIAN.
If you want to classify me, I am a contractualist. This means a classical liberal, libertarian. I am conservative because I’m an empiricist. And I am a Nationalist because I’m from a germanic, martial class by intuition, and because as an empiricist I understand the superior ability to govern contractually under homogeneity.
So I know how my work on truthfulness sounds to contemporary people, just as I am aware how Darwin, Hume, Machiavelli, and Socrates were considered immoral people, and how western contractualism in its current degraded form, sounds immoral to less advanced peoples.
If I **DIDN”T** make you feel a moral twinge, then I wouldn’t be advancing human understanding by reordering values. The difference is that I’m trying to improve human conditions for prosperity not dominate others, harm others, or even exclude others. The problem is that exclusion of differences in strategies is necessary for the development of the prosperity and peace that contractualism provides for us.
