“THE CULTURE OF PREVENTION” : WESTERN POSITIVISM : THE SIX RULES OF PREVENTION : THE SYSTEMATIC WESTERN ADOPTION OF JEWISH OBSCURANTISM

(insight)

The interesting thing about western culture, is the underlying assumption that we can CHANGE THE WORLD to suit our desires. It’s a POSITIVE outlook on life. Life isn’t suffering or difficult. Its an opportunity for heroisim and GLORY. “The purpose of life is to bend nature to our will, such that we leave the world better for having lived in it.”

Think about the rest of the world’s “golden rule” and the anglo saxon “silver rule”. While they say “do unto others” we say “do not do unto others, that which you would not have done unto you.” The implied sovereignty in the Anglo Silver Rule is quite different from the slavish peasantry implied in the Golden Rule.

WESTERN CIV is the culture of PREVENTION, under the ASSUMPTION that we can achieve our desires if no external entity PREVENTS IT. So our goal is to let everyone pursue their desires, and for us to pursue our mutual desires, and to PREVENT anyone from impeding that process. Nature is beautiful for this reason, as is man, as is life. Because it is not a struggle for the opportunity to pursue one’s fancy, it is a struggle only to prevent those from preventing us from pursuing our fancies.

This is much more English a vision than the German vision of accomplishing the same thru duty.

THE MAGIC LAWS OF THE CULTURE OF PREVENTION

1) PREVENT THE USE OF POWER : DECENTRALIZATION, BALANCE OF FORCES, COMPETITION, MILITIA, SOVEREIGNTY

2) PREVENT VIOLENCE THEFT AND FREE RIDING : PRIVATE PROPERTY AND COMMON LAW, RIGOROUS NORMS

3) PREVENT LOSS OF CAPITAL : FORCE ALL CONFLICT INTO THE MARKET WHERE IT PRODUCES CAPITAL RATHER THAN DESTROYS IT

4) PREVENT THE IMMORAL SOCIETY OF THE EXTENDED FAMILY : NUCLEAR FAMILY AND PRIVATE PROPERTY

5) PREVENT CONQUEST BY SUPERIOR FORCES : RELY ON TECHNOLOGY, PROFESSIONAL WARRIORS, AND THE MILITIA, TO MAKE USE OF INFERIOR NUMBERS AND WEALTH.

6) PREVENT FRAUD BY OBSCURANTISM : TRUTH, SCIENCE, AND OPERATIONAL LANGUAGE

THE CULTURE THAT DECRIES HUBRIS

Greek mythology would only be created by a people who had such confidence that their warning would be a universal caution against any incidence of hubris. It is the mythology of a cautious, conservative, but confident people. The same is true for Germanic mythology. Albeit Christianity tries desperately to tame it by directing it to positive uses. The church could not defend against the Normans so they directed them to fighting the crusades. Not that the crusades were not a good use of men. But that it gave vent to the warrior ethos. Chivalric codes did the rest by allowing warriors, or those who could not afford to be, or those not able to be, to demonstrate heroism through service.

ON THE WESTERN ADOPTION OF JEWISH OBSCURANTISM

Unfortunately Jewish culture has mastered the art of obscurantism, pseudo-rationality and pseudo-science, as a means of undermining land-holder moral and social codes, and we have failed to convert them to our aristocratic doctrine. Or we had succeeded prior to the second world war, when American Jewry and Scotts Presbyterians were indistinguishable from one another, and both doing our civilization justice. Since them, we have legions of westerners in university settings doing the same, since Freud, Marx, Cantor gave birth to the Bolsheviks, the Frankfurt School and the Postmodernists took control of the university in an effort to claim for themselves what had previously been the social power of the church.

Thought leadership in obscurantism has, since then, become a western profession thanks to Kant, Heidegger, Rorty, Adorno, Foucault. Rawls tried to resurrect it with his Victorian parlor trick, and Hayek alone could not hold them back, because he confused psychology with the necessity of calculation and did not yet have the analogy of computer science to help him solve the problem as we propertarians have.

Mises and Rothbard took us again, into another Jewish pseudo-science, which Hoppe partly rescued us from, and which I’m trying to rescue us from entirely.

But the real heavy lifting has been done, as always in the west, by empirical scientists in the Anglo tradition, leaving the rationalists in the continental tradition, once again, searching for some form of obscurantism to justify their tyrannical appropriation from the masses, and the meritocratic natural aristocracy that would arise without their predation on them by means of force of government, and various modes of obscurantist language.

Meanwhile at home, as means of resisting the state, the religious right uses a time honored form of obscurantism themselves to save their society from conquest by the predatory state bureaucracy.

OBSCURANT LANGUAGE IS IMMORAL BECAUSE IT IS FRAUD. IF YOU CANNOT DESCRIBE IT IN THE LANGUAGE OF ACTION (AS OPERATIONS) THEN YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND IT. IF YOU USE OBSCURANT LANGUAGE YOU ARE LYING, WHETHER YOU UNDERSTAND IT OPERATIONALLY OR NOT.
