    HUG-ABILITY AND KISSABILITY

    If small children weren’t so damned huggable and kissable it would be much easier for parents and relatives to avoid common illnesses. …. But you know, it’s worth it. 🙂 And when kids get enough attention that they aren’t desperate for parental affection by unpleasant means, they are really a joy to be around.

    I am not yet sold on high investment parenting. But I am certainly sold on high parental time and attention. Schools as we conduct them, as day care centers for laborers (laborers we don’t need by the way), have been tragic for children. As far as I can tell, there is no benefit beyond a half day of school, and more parental time and recreation. All we do with all this fallacious productivity is increase meaningless consumption of status signals. And we do all that merely because we didn’t get enough affection and attention.

    DUCHESNE : RE-NATIONALIZE CLASSICAL LIBERALISM

    —–

    Evolution is now being played out in the arena of cultural conflict, but there are still winners and losers in the strict Darwinian sense as Western lands are opened up to all the peoples of the world.

    Duchesne concludes that

    –the way out of the crisis of Western nihilism is to re-nationalize liberalism, throw away the cultural Marxist notion that freedom means liberation from all identities not chosen by the individual, and accentuate the historical and natural-ethnic basis of European identity.–

    I couldn’t agree more.

    CAN WE PLAY A GAME?

    (learn something interesting)

    1) So, can you explain the difference between the following terms?

    – Experiencing

    – Thinking

    – Reasoning

    – Rationalism

    – Scientific Descriptions

    – Operational Definitions

    – Analytic Rationalism

    – (Formal) Logic

    – Mathematics

    – Arithmetic

    – Naming

    The structure of this list isn’t arbitrary. And it should tell you something very important.

    **Operationalism** + **Testimonal Truth**

    THE CHOICE OF TERMS: “TESTIMONIAL TRUTH”

    I was going to go with performative truth, which is an established term, but which applies to formal languages and is already heavily loaded within the analytic movement. So I’m going to go with “Testimonial Truth” because it is easily understood and not encumbered by existing loadings.

  • WHAT IS CURT DOING? DRIVING TOWARD FASCISM? (NO) Just a note to tame the people

    WHAT IS CURT DOING? DRIVING TOWARD FASCISM? (NO)

    Just a note to tame the people I might make nervous: Don’t get ahead of me. I have already solved the institutional problem of a heterogeneous system of cooperation over homogenous normative polities – the way we demonstrate that want to live. Shared cooperation but tribal homes. Insurance at scale. I solved that first. The problem has always been in explaining why it’s necessary, and why its the ONLY institutional solution to heterogeneous polity: calculability.

    We have to stop people from trying to steal. The history of the evolution of the suppression of free riding is that we must expand our definition of property with the expansion of what we use as property. The commons is property. That property can be polluted with lies, or constantly maintained by truthful debate.

    It’s not that complicated. We’ve been doing it mostly right for 4500 years.

    I work by constructing arguments out of necessary propositions constrained by a few assumptions: liberty, prosperity, and rates of innovation that improve our genetic competitiveness against others who are doing the same. Our western strength has been the degree with which we have maintained conceptual correspondence with reality while increasing the population we cooperate with. This turns out to produce the greatest rate of innovation of any civilization, allow us out here on the fringe to ‘come from behind’ repeatedly.

    The side effect is that we get to profit from selling these innovations to others, just as others previously benefitted from selling their innovations to us. But we have always been in small numbers. And we are returning to a people of small numbers. And we have lost our advantage.

    So when I work I run down ideas and test them via argument. some of them succeed and some of them fail. I reinforce the ones that succeed, and discard those that fail. Sometimes I have to abandon entire strains of thought. But when I have an idea, I take it to market and find people to criticize it. And I improve it more.

    Right now I am trying to find a solution to what I call ‘lying’ or ‘shipping fraudulent intellectual product’. And while I know the basis of it, I see something very interesting out on the horizon at least as interesting as the other ideas I’ve produced.

    And so I am constructing arguments that function as a bridge that extends in that direction.

  • RESTATING MACDONALD: THE FULL POLITICAL SPECTRUM OF ADVOCACY OK, so extending on

    RESTATING MACDONALD: THE FULL POLITICAL SPECTRUM OF ADVOCACY

    OK, so extending on Macdonald, Critique is a method of attacking western civilization by all possible political ideologies, from every class at once:

    ARISTOCRATIC CLASS: Straussian Neoconservatism: International critique: extension of altruistic punishment, and justification of punishment, to the rest of the world. Complaint by the Aristocratic (military) class.

    UPPER MIDDLE: Misesian Pseudoscience: Critique of the state financial system as a tool of the genetically homogenous polity. Complaint by the upper middle (financial) class.

    MIDDLE: Rothbardian libertarianism: critique of the polity as a legally, culturally, and genetically, homogenous entity for the advancement of that genetically homogenous polity. Complaint by the middle (merchant and professional) class.

    LOWER: Marxism, Pseudoscientific Socialism, Irrationalist Postmodernism: Critique of industry as a tool of the genetically homogenous polity. Complaint by lower (the working and craftsman), priestly, public intellectual, and academic classes.

    The systematic conversion of an heroic homogenous outbred polity into a guilt driven polity by exacerbating their sense of altruism and altruistic punishment – and in doing so bribing the intellectual classes to obtain populist power under democracy by justifying the altruistic punishment of, and self destruction of, the homogenous polity, to the advantage of the insurgent polity.

    IT ONLY SEEMS LIKE A LEFTIST CONSPIRACY

    It isn’t. It’s a united front against our people and our civilization from every class.

    ANTI-CONSPIRACY NOTE

    Note that I don’t see this as an intentional conspiracy, but the following of genetic and cultural incentives to exploit all available opportunities for expansion.
