    OBJECTIVE GOOD VS SUBJECTIVE PREFERENCE

    (the thrust of this argument is a conflation of good and preference, and my opponent’s presumption that because of that conflation there are no ‘goods’. This may be a bit hard to parse, but there are objective goods.)

    I think it is that I simply failed to provide sufficient touch stones so that you would draw the conclusions on your own.

    In other words the argument I make is a necessary one. And that is why it’s an is.

    That might take a bit but we will get there.

    —” I would add my surprise to see you mention at the end that this is all about how things are and not should be.”— Mark

    I Think you’re referring to this statement:

    —“(g) as far as I know I am explaining what men do (is), not what they should do (should).”—

    Which in the context I mean that men do what they must do. what they must do is what they in fact do (“is”). And what they should do is what they must do, and do (“should”). In other words, there is no difference between must, can, is and should. Or better stated, “Man justifies his group evolutionary strategy, whatever it is – he survives.”

    —“I see you started out apparently very much talking about good/bad in a thread on political views necessarily based on moral views. So…?”—

    So instead I am stating that moral principles necessary for in-group cooperation and are universal necessities (subject to limits), and that despite local variation in the portfolio of norms necessary for the purposes of competition, production, free rider prevention, and rent seeking, that must, can, is, and should are identical propositions.

    The only question is cooperation between groups with different portfolios that are incompatible. In compatibility is universally decidable by property rights independent of local variation in the portfolio. And this also is what we see men do in reality.

    So objective morality – rules necessary for rational beneficial voluntary cooperation – is universal.

    –“good”— Mark

    Now what is the difference between “preference” and “good”? Well I can prefer something I can experience myself. We can say that fulfilling a preference feels good. We can also say that something is good even if it isn’t immediately preferable.

    So to avoid confusion, lets say that **a preference is an experiential good, and a good is either an non-experiential intertemporal personal benefit, or objectively decidable interpersonal benefit.**

    –“starting point”— Mark

    So, i start with the first question of “why don’t I kill you and take your stuff”. The first question of ethics.

    The answer is then one of short and long run costs versus benefits. As long as one’s opponents promise greater cost than reward, we choose cooperation or boycott – if we can choose boycott.

    From there, to the disproportionate rewards of cooperation assuming predation is costly. Or as biological evolution has informed us: we possess the intuitive ability to both imitate, and beyond imitate to empathize, and beyond empathize to cooperate, and beyond cooperation to anticipate demand for cooperation. We evolved it because cooperation is disproportionately rewarding. But when we cooperate we must prevent free riders from undermining the incentive to cooperate – hence the human intuition to punish free riders (cheaters) even at high personal cost.

    If a group decides that survival is not ‘good’ (bearing a cost of an intertemporal and directly imperceptible forecast subject to risk) and does not survive then it is not ‘good’ for others to imitate it if they wish to survive. Hence over time, good is defined as what others can imitate in order to survive. So, good is an evolutionary imperative, not a preference. A preference may feel good by analogy but it is not an abstract ‘good’ – a value judgement.

    ie: subjective preferences and objective goods are different things. And those goods that are in fact ‘good’ are objectively ascertainable over time independent of subjective preference.

    Cheers

  • REDUCING H.B.D. TO RULE OF LAW I think the tide has changed and that HBD has won

    REDUCING H.B.D. TO RULE OF LAW

    I think the tide has changed and that HBD has won out over “The Great Boazian Lie”.

    My position on HBD is:

    1) the majority of differences between the great tribes (races) is in the rates of reproduction of the lower classes. Or conversely, the rates of suppression of the reproduction of the underclasses and the concentration of reproduction in the middle and upper classes.

    2) that sexual maturity regulates aggression and impulse and time preference.(humans are no different from foxes or any other creature). Hence the increasing aggression (and penis size) from east asian, northern whites(Ukrainian), southern(Iranian) whites, arabs, and africans.

    3) cranial size effects intelligence disproportionately since intelligence is largely a function of memory.

    4) there appears to be a difference in the evolution of different brain agents (language in particular) and in cooperation (frontal lobe) that is expressed in the races, and verbal self expression both limits frustration and increases cooperation.

    5) raw athletic ability decreases with decreases in sexual maturity.

    THEREFORE

    The problem for any society to solve is largely one of reducing the relative size of the individuals below what we consider 106IQ today, and a target for any polity should be a distribution no less that 115, and preferably 125 if we wish to see ‘Star Trek’ – whereas the current downward trend is producing a devolution to a future of ‘Favelas’.

    WORSE

    It is possible that we have passed peak human, since it is very difficult to cleans defective genes from a polity, and intelligence is comprised of a complex set of genetic biases.

    EXAMPLES

    China surpasses india both because of superior suppression of the underclasses, and superior ability of the red army to force literacy.

    The west succeeded because of (a) Aristocratic egalitarianism (b) martial truth (d) dramatic culling of the lower classes both by starvation, access to land, and aggressive hanging.

    You do not so much improve your population as limit the harm done to it by the lower classes.

    This is a consistent theme that I’ve discovered in most of my work: we do not know the truth but we know falsehood. WE do not know goods but we know bads. We cannot breed better men, we can only stop bad men from breeding more.

    The EUGENICS program was perhaps the most important objective of western man, and the failure of it due to women and pseudosciences was the second catastrophe.

    1) The Enlightenment fallacy of oppressed man vs eugenic civilization.

    2) The Enlightenment undermining of monarchy, aristocracy, instead of addition of new houses for newly participatory classes.

    3) The enfranchisement of women and women’s advocacy of enfranchising slaves as a means of gaining their own enfranchisement.

    4) The Jewish Cosmopolitan Pseudoscientific movement as an attempt to create a second Religion for women and slaves (underclasses): Boaz(sociology), Marx(economics), Freud (psychology), Frankfurt School (politics).

    5) The Anglo attack on german civilization in the first war. The anglo attack on german civilization in the second war, and failure of Germany to restore european civilization to aristocratic, aesthetic, and egalitarian origins.

    6) The adoption of the Pseudoscientific Religion by the Academy, State, Media complex and its appeal to women in academy: as revenue, state voting as power, and consumer consumption of goods as revenue. (a degree in other than STEM fields appears to be nothing more than a modern sale of Indulgences to build universities instead of churches.)

    7) The 1965/66 Immigration law by which the Women, Blacks, Jews, the Pseudoscientific Religion of the Academy, State, Media complex sought to achieve through depopulation (destruction of the family) and immigration (invasion) what they could not achieve by propaganda.

    8) The failure of the masculine, familial, conservative, libertarian, and scientific thought leadership to produce a body of thought to counter the second use of women as a means of distributing the Pseudoscientific Revolution’s attempt at the Second Great Lie (pseudoscience) second only to the First Great Lie (monotheism). (Which Propertarianism and Testimonialism, Genetic and Cognitive science, plus a century of recorded damage to civilization help to overturn.)

    9) the great wealth to be made from the conquest and sale of the North American (US/Canadian), and Australian continents, has been interpreted as a property of American Democracy rather than american democracy is a temporary luxury made possible by the rather ridiculous wealth from the 300 year long sale of the Continent to immigrants. And while we were limited to immigration of middle class gene pools without access to land from above the Hanjal line, we now are engaged in a pollution of all forms of capital. (the same applies to Russia by the way.)

    BEHOLD IMPULSIVE WOMAN, THE PANDORA: DESTROYER OF CIVILIZATION

    Men developed the many prohibitions and regulations of male impulses, biases and intuitions for no less than ten thousand years.

    And yet we handed women equal political power without equal prohibitions and regulations on female impulses, biases, and intuitions.

    Men used civilization to prolong consumption in favor of capital accumulation. Women used the voting booth to pull forward consumption in favor of unbounded reproduction. Women undid in just over one century thousands of years of civilization.

    Unlike ‘conservatives’ I do not seek to withdraw women’s participation, but to limit the damage done by female impulses, biases and intuitions just as we limited the damage that can be done by male impulses, biases and intuitions.

    Unfortunately for the Feminist movement, it has become clear that it was the impulses of in-group women that we controlled throughout the process of civilization, and the impulses of out-group men we controlled through the process of civilization.

    So the evolution of property accomplished both the regulation of women’s impulsive reproduction at the expense of capital accumulation. Or put more simply: it was as equally important to regulate women as it was men.

    But our institutions and laws regulated men, while our norms regulated women. Given access to the ballot box, and thereby to political power, women destroyed civilization in pursuit of their impulses.

    Houses for competing group evolutionary strategies.

    Houses like the senate and jury, hear appeals.

    Contracts for commons must pass dissent by involuntary transfer, not assent.

    It is hard for us to grasp that there is not much that is a knowable good goal, only knowable good process for achieving goals. Yet that there are knowable bad goals and knowable bad processes, and knowable bad actions.

    That which is bad can be known: they are truths.

    That which is good is that which is not bad.

    That which is better is a matter of preference not truth.

    We can enfranchise anyone under the prevention of the bad.

    And we can return Pandora to the box.

    Where there is rule of law, there is scientific rule.

    Where there is a market for commons, there is a civic society.

    Where there is a market for goods and services there is productivity

    Where there is a market for reproduction there is eugenic reproduction.
