Only Landed People Create Monuments and Art

UNDERSTANDING CALIFORNIAN STATISM

California. A very desirable geography. The best other than France. In both cases the geography is a natural resource exploitable by the state.

As I said to Ron Manners: natural resources make you a slave because States must defend them. Diasporic peoples avoid these high costs at the expense of permanent insecurity. The golden mean (happy median) is Liberty – prevention of the state while also holding land.

**Only landed people create monuments and art.**And Europe is a vast, open air museum.
