“CRITIQUE IS WEAPONIZED GOSSIP”
It’s interesting. Fascinating really.
Gossip evolved as a means by which to control alphas. So that females could control reproduction again. Or at least exert some control over their reproduction.
One of the theories is that we learned to speak in order to gossip. In that sense, the theory that language was invented to lie, has some merit.
Gossip consists mostly of lies and deception. It is an attempt to to provoke rallying and shaming.
If you combine hermeneutic analysis of scripture (psychologizing), Gossip (control), Rallying and Shaming, and dual ethics (justified immorality) you can develop critique. The left’s technique.
The left’s war on truth and meritocracy.
Truth and violence are the cure for deception and critique.
(See. I am still making progress. Slowly. Slowly. But progress none the less.)
Quite the opposite of the rationalists, as far as I can tell, all language that is other than unloaded factual description is largely justification.
Quite the opposite of the platonists, truth is constituted in testimony, and testimony is demonstrated by recipes. That we use general theories to describe recipes is merely a device for simple memories to create generalizations – patterns. But the net is, that only recipes that work are correspondent with reality, and all words are merely allegories.
One thing the left did, with its hermeneutics, and its psychologizing, and its platonism, is to intentionally confuse words with actions.
It’s time to end the second war of mysticism. First was the christianization of the west and the second is was the mystification of science and reason.

NUCLEAR WEAPONS IN EASTERN EUROPE – AND THE WORLD
We don’t have to fight. We just have to rapidly sell nukes to eastern Europe.
The fools in the west spent decades on disarmament only to have Obama demonstrate to the world, that the only defense of one’s borders and people is nuclear weapons.
Obama is the greatest advocate for the proliferation of nuclear weapons in history.
Russia could not touch Ukraine if it was nuclear armed. Moscow is an easy target.

JUST TEN? ARE YOU KIDDING? Sean Ring, Johannes Meixner, Michael Parley Griffith,
http://www.propertarianism.com/reading-list/BOOKS, JUST TEN? ARE YOU KIDDING?
Sean Ring, Johannes Meixner, Michael Parley Griffith, Robyn Harte-Bunting Vincent Wolters, Brian Ó Caithnia, Jakub Bozydar Wisniewski.
There is a difference between books that affected me emotionally, books that affected my thinking, books I learned from, and books that I recommend. I keep a book list on Propertarianism.com that references all the books I recommend. But those are the books whose arguments and ideas are correct, not the books that affected me intellectually, emotionally or spiritually.
Durant was wright that there are few answers in philosophy. Philosophy tells us of intellectual history, and makes one’s mind fit. That is all. It is the wishful thinking of man, not the evidence of man. Instead, history provides us with evidence of man to work from. History, Economics(cooperation) and evolutionary biology provide answers that philosophy does not, but only if our minds are fit enough to tell the difference between possible truth and possible fallacy.
HEROIC MAN AFFECTED ME MORALLY, EMOTIONALLY AND SPIRITUALLY
Heroism is the central western proposition.
The Iliad, the Odyssey, The Greek Myths, Aesop’s Fables. Pinocchio. Beowulf. Le Morte D’ Arthur. Shakespeare’s Henry V, Macbeth.Grimm’s Fairy Tales, Spencer’s The Faerie Queene. Ivanhoe. Howard’s Conan stories. Starship Troopers, A Wizard of Earthsea. Harlan Ellison’s stories. Time Enough For Love. Hobbit/LOTR. Dune. Snow Crash, and Neuromancer. (Campbell’s Hero with a Thousand Faces, Frazer’s The Golden Bough).
The principle pagan arguments are is the worship of the earth and the personal virtue of the heroism of man, and the political virtue of aristocracy as prevention against tyranny – under which the earth is not worshipped, man is not heroic, and the best do not rise for us to imitate their behaviors, and aspire to their achievements.
BOOKS THAT AFFECTED MY THINKING
The books that affect you are determined by where you were in your intellectual development. That is why the books that affect each of us are somewhat different. These are the books that I remember very much rearranging or influencing everything else that I understood at the time.
Encyclopedia Britannica. The Constitution and DoE. Biography of Samuel Colt. Durant’s Lessons of History. Karen Armstrong’s: The Great Transformation. Ceram’s Gods, Graves and Scholars. Mallory’s In Search of Indo Europeans. Axelrod’s Evolution of Cooperation. The Third Chimpanzee. Guns Germs and Steel. Kahneman’s Thinking fast and slow. Haidt’s The Righteous Mind. Keegan’s History of Warfare. Fussel’s Class. Rand’s aesthetics. Hayek’s Road to Serfdom, and essays on Knowledge. Popper’s CR and Open Universe. The many papers of the economic calculation argument.
BOOKS I RECOMMEND
Ricardo Duchesne: The Uniqueness of Western Civilization
JP Mallory: In Search of Indo Europeans
John Keegan: A History Of Warfare
Joseph Campbell : The Hero’s Journey
Karen Armstrong : The Great Transformation
William Tucker: Marriage and Civilization
Emmanuel Todd: The Explanation of Ideology
Emmanuel Todd: The Invention of Europe
Daniel Hannan: Inventing Freedom

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHTj0iccdVM&feature=youtube_gdata+-+Video+Tube+for+YouTube+-+AndroidLAW OF COOPERATION, NOT JUSTICE
Want to thank Skye Stewart for sharing Friedman’s book and video with me. I’d originally thought it was a statement of the obvious for those of us with economic backgrounds. But for the rest of the world, the importance of the fallacy of justice as taught in law, and the importance of economic thought in replacing that fallacy, is probably as central to the reformation of political thinking as is the fact that all rights are reducible to property rights, and that rights can only be obtained in exchange.
