    PROTECTING THE TRIBE

    —“The “authorities” have proven they will not protect private property or civilian lives (Ferguson being just the latest example) while the US Supreme Court has ruled police have no fiduciary duty or obligation to do you/us. The natural state is Hobbes’ Leviathan. A Social Contract must be created and once created it is maintained by the Carrot and Stick. For those that attempt to burn, loot and kill, they must be summarily dispatched either to their Maker or if they are Atheists to the Worm-ridden Compost Pile. I’m not here to judge them on their religion or spirituality just to protect myself, my family, my assets and production. No one questions a Lion, Gorilla or Bull protecting their pride, troop or herd. No one should question a human for doing the same.”—

    WHY WE NEED RELIGIONS

    Humans will and must develop a ‘religion’ because without some set of narratives most questions on a daily basis from the most mundane to the most complex are undecidable. Pedagogical requirements force us to resort to narratives during youth in order to construct relations from experiential rather than abstract lessons – we cannot wait to teach morality until reason forms, and not enough ofus are capable of reason: which is why we must have character, rule, and outcome ethics. Because each is more demanding than the prior method. The only question is the externalities produced by that religion and whether that religion is closer to a reflection of heroic history or farther from heroic history. The monotheisms are pretty awful, but democratic statist secular humanism is far worse.

    SO

    1) Many decisions are undecidable without some means of decision making: breaking ties.

    2) Even if they are decidable it is often necessary to force tie-breaking decisions such that they produce positive externalities. In fact, almost all social benefits are obtained by the choice between otherwise indifferent actions.

    3) We must train the young to intuit such tie-breaking decisions, not reason them.

  • The Only Poor Honest White People Left On Earth

    [I]n Ukraine, we have the only poor, honest, white people left on the planet. The only thing we lack is a justice system. The only difference between Ukraine and Canada is that Canada has America instead of Russia as the most influential political neighbor. We just need anglo-american jurisprudence and Ukraine will not only the biggest but one of the wealthiest countries in Europe.

  • Politicians are Entrepreneurs of Externality

    Guest post by Michael Philip

    [D]emocracy is supposed to make things better, by making all voters part of the political bargaining process. The problem with that is much of the art of representative politics is using the coercive power of the state to provide benefits to folk who do notice (and care and effectively politically express that noticing and caring) while shifting the costs onto those who do not. In other words, generating visible positive externalities paid for via not-usefully-noticed negative externalities. Politicians are entrepreneurs of externality. Appealing to politicians to deal with problems of externalities in general is rather like putting arsonists in charge of the fire brigade.

  • My Position on Race

    [I] don’t care about your race. I care about your IQ, impulsivity, aggression, time preference, degree of suppression of free riding, and total integration into every possible aspect of the culture.

    You are not going to find anyone, me included, caring about the immigration of smart, un-impulsive, non-aggressive, low time preference (long term thinking), individuals. Not only because they’re rare. But because they’re nice to have around.

    But everything else is costly invasion for a high trust polity.

    So I don’t care about race. I care that there are differences in the distribution of these properties in the races, and that people from races act as blocs in politics, economics, society, and reproduction.

    Integrate entirely or leave. Absolute nuclear family. High trust ethics. Religion and myths, institutions and norms.

    Period.


    NO SEPARATISM. PERIOD. IF YOU CHOOSE TO BE SEPARATE I AM HAPPY TO SEPARATE YOU FROM THE REST OF US WHO AGREE WITH YOUR CHOICE.

    (I think this is very close to my position on racism. I just don’t like it. if it’s present, that’s because something else is wrong: invasion, non-integration, material difference in distribution, and an impact on norms.)
