WHY ARE CONSERVATIVES MORE IMPORTANT THAN LIBERTINES?
Because given moral justification to correct violations of purity and sanctity a sufficient number of conservatives will use violence to restore order. Only conservatives act for social good alone. Libertines and progressives act only in their self interest. Why? Because libertinism is purely a status seeking effort, and progressivism is both status seeking and dysgenic.

WHY ARE LIBERTARIANS POLITICALLY IRRELEVANT?
Because political systems are constructed by violence. And conservatives are willing to create an order that suppresses consumption in order to construct commons, and progressives are willing to use violence to destruct an order so that they can increase consumption. But libertarians are both small in number and unwilling to use violence.
Violence raises the costs of non-cooperative action, so that cooperation is preferable to non-cooperative action.
Libertines always look for discounts (freebies). There aren’t any. Order is expensive.
For these reasons libertarians will only exist in absurdly wealthy periods of history, made possible by conservatives. Otherwise they will exist only as another rejection-cult, criticizing the fact that they are required to pay costs for norms that do not improve their status – but constrain it.

WHY DO LIBERTARIANS ALWAYS LOSE?
Libertinism. Meaning incorrect attribution of legal, economic, political and military value to costs of high-cost, high-trust norms. Conservatives do not make this mistake – if anything they over-value norms. Libertines discount norms. Progressives never even consider them or find prohibition on their consumption antithetical.

Film critics function largely within the Cathedral ideology.
But lets talk a bit about the future of film.
The medium is no longer a vehicle for storytelling, but subconscious association; and I think the medium has evolved into something separate from storytelling (the narrative).
Human minds place greater scrutiny on ordered language than disordered imagery, and disordered imagery produces pre-cognitive associations, often appealing to pre-cognitive reactions. To some degree the narrative appeals more heavily to reason than to the intuition, while film can quite easily, like dreams, appeal more heavily to the intuition, and far less, to reason.
It is no longer important to construct a narrative if a dream will do. Films certainly appear to be evolving rapidly toward dreams.
I think this is the correct analysis of the evolution of the medium. The narrative or ‘puzzle’ maintains your attention while the medium communicates to your intuition.
This is only possible with a medium other than language. Although it is possible to use suggestion via language (I use this very heavily). One can offer positive suggestions and negative suggestions.
I think the high art of film will emerge as dream-creation because it does not require effort. And that the narrative, which is harder, and requires effort will remain the domain of storytelling.

FOREIGN POLICY UNDER ARISTOCRATIC EGALITARIANISM – IT’S NOT COMPLICATED.
Y-AXIS : Aristocratic Egalitarian Morality – Meaning an increase in the suppression of free riding in order to obtain higher trust, higher economic velocity, and greater liberty, in exchange for reciprocal warranty of the same.
X-AXIS: Strategic Interest – meaning a decrease in economic, military and moral risk, and an increase in current costs.

MORAL CORPORATISM
LIBERTARIAN
A libertarian ethic in negative sense, is that one seeks to eliminate all external constraints upon his resources so that he may seize opportunities for productive gain. His analogy to a shareholder agreement is one in which he will cause no cost, but in return will liquidate his holdings if opportunities can be seized.
CONSERVATIVE
A conservative ethics in the negative sense, is that one seeks so accumulate defensive resources by forgoing consumption until later. His analogy to a shareholder agreement is one in which he will only invest in long term storage of resources (including genetic resources), and deny himself and others access to consumption.
PROGRESSIVE
A progressive ethic, in the negative sense, is that one seeks to accumulate all human bodies, by consuming everything possible – now. His analogy to a shareholder agreement is one in which all dividends are immediately consumed.
CURRENT STATUS OF TECHNOLOGY
We currently construct all three of these via shareholder agreements today, and would do more of them, more widely if the government were not structured to force spending by these organizations so that they can be taxed at maximum yields and thereby forcing risk into investors management and employees. So government today takes money and increases risk from producers to decrease risk and increase consumption of non-producers. If this did not yield dysgenic results, lower trust, and economic degeneracy, then it would be rational (the scandinavian small state model, plus prohibition on immigration).

WILLIAM BENGE ON MORAL BLINDNESS – LIBERTINES JUSTIFYING LIBERTINISM
1. The NAP does not repudiate nor constrain libertinism.
2. The libertine is remiss to self-identify. ( I suspect this is due to a lack of self-awareness, and consequentially, ignorance of this and other negative externalities created by the libertine)
3. The libertine’s defense of the NAP is really a defense of the libertine.

MONUMENTS – OUR HIGHEST ART.
Monuments serve as incontrovertible title registries.

I am far more interested in being a manufacturer of intellectual arms, than fighting with them myself. If you want arms, I have them. if you don’t, then I don’t really need to sell them to you. It’s not worth my time. There are plenty of people who want an arms dealer who specializes in intellectual weaponry. On the other hand I must test my products in the process of construction, otherwise I cannot warranty their fitness.

I understand John Taylor’s position on responding to comments. I think its rude. But it may turn out to be necessary. I have to separate my desire to help autists from the practical reality of what I do.
It is very easy for libertarians to grasp the danger of physical aggression against their physical property, but very hard for them to grasp imposition of costs through unethical and immoral activity – because we are nearly immune to it. But the rest of mankind is not. The rest of mankind is far more concerned about thefts by the cunning than thefts by the violent.
most theft today is not conducted by violence, or physically, but by cunning.
