[P]arasitism is just as natural as cooperation. And so the function of the law is to discover new forms of parasitism so that the polity can insure one another against the new forms of parasitism. So it is not simply natural to cooperate, it is natural to cooperate as much as incentives allow, and to act parasitically as much as incentives allow. And in almost all cases production is more burdensome than parasitism. So, we create institutions to raise the cost of parasitism such that all incentives favor cooperation. We force everyone to participate in the market in order to survive. And if we don’t grasp this we make the same mistake as the Enlightenment peoples, and in particular the classical liberal libertarians, and the cosmopolitan libertines: that man is good and oppressed, rather than man follows incentives and he needs to be prohibited from parasitism so that his only choice is production. Not just because his participation in production increases productivity, but because his abstinence from parasitism decreases transaction costs, risk, and increases its corollary, trust. In this way, prosperity is created not so much by the emphasis on the good, but on the prohibition of the bad, leaving only good actions available to man.

What Does Quoting Great Philosophers Imply?
[W]hen one says “Socrates said…” or some other philosopher, in defense of some position, the fact that these thinkers said one thing or another never increases the merit of the thought – that’s an appeal to authority. Instead, it tells us that this idea has been in the public discourse for many years. And that we are not novel in our thoughts, or particularly insightful in our times. Instead, that we might learn from great minds how they approached the problem and see if we can better them having many additional shoulders of giants to stand upon between long ago, and the present. On the other hand what we find in these ancient texts and in all histories of man, is that he remains constant over time. It is his geography, the number of his population, and his technology that changes. Not he.

Man Is A Creature Of Incentives. Be Careful What You Wish For.
[B]uilding a nice pretty world is great for impressing the females. But too many of them take it for granted. Feminism killed our incentives to produce that world. They don’t seem to grasp that if we don’t have the incentives for that world, we can create any world we want with the incentives we want, and they’re just along for the ride.

Quarter, Ghetto, Now Ghetto City?
[W]e had ‘Ghettos’ and ‘Quarters’ under the Great Christian Monarchies. There is no reason we cannot have ghettos and quarters as we did under smaller scale states, and no reason we cannot have whole cities under today’s governments of greater scale. Rule, governance, commerce, and existence are very different things. (I have seen escape from ny btw. lol)

The Only Objective “Good” is Trade. Everything Else is Preference
[M]ale – Female relations are a trade between competing reproductive strategies. Feminists seem to have the opinion that their strategy is superior despite the fact that all civilization seems to have been constructed to control women’s gossiping, lying, sexual and reproductive excesses as much as it has been to control men’s theft, violence, murder and war. We compromise. If there is no compromise with women then we have the alternative to return to our natural state where women are mere cattle herded by men, with the only reprieve provided by affection by women and defense of daughters and mates by men. What do you think the entire damned world does? Europeans treated women much better than others for historical reasons that are very hard to reproduce.

The Cults of Megalomania: Justification of Non-Integration
[B]oth Jewish and Muslim cults include the original claims of Megalomania and utopianism that Abraham invested in the doctrine, and which is the excuse used to both create unity and prevent assimilation into host civilizations. The master race of the Nazis was the same argument made by genetic destiny rather than divine command. There is no difference. The middle east evolved separatism because it is an intersection of the races, and leadership wanted to prevent assimilation into assyrian, egyptian, and greek civilizations. And none could hold the territory against them. So they all failed to create a territorial ethic. It’s to be expected. They were traders and herders who raided and rain, not farmers who conducted war and held their ground. But there is no difference at all between Nazi Racism and Aesthetic-Culturism and Jewish Racism and Religiocity and Muslim Religiocity. None. They are group evolutionary strategies for landed germanic and unlanded semitic peoples. That is all. Nothing more. Nothing less. We carry out history in our genes as well as our cultures. Non-integration is the premise of jewish and muslim societies. (That ought to ruffle a few feathers.)
