    Practical advice. Women who don’t want to spend a fortune on a diverse wardrobe (in other words follow the simplicity of men’s ‘uniforms’) – from simplest to most detailed.

    Q:CURT:–“WHAT DO YOU DEFINE AS CAPITALISM AND AS RULE OF LAW?”–

    Both Capitalism and Rule of Law are systems governed by the principles of Demonstrated Interests (Investments), Sovereignty (Property Rights), and Reciprocity (Voluntary Exchange).

    Capitalism (Philosophy):
    – A system characterized by a bias in favor of private control of the means of production.
    – Operates with incomplete accounting for externalities that affect the demonstrated interests of others.
    – Employs income statement measurements, emphasizing short-term gains and transactional efficiency.

    Rule of Law by Natural Law (Science):
    – A system favoring investment by any class capable of organizing resources across the spectrum of time horizons, enabling a mixed economy.
    – Requires full accounting for externalities, ensuring reciprocity and the protection of demonstrated interests.
    – Relies on balance sheet measurements that track changes in all forms of capital, including personal, shared, common, genetic, cultural, informal, and formal assets.

    Additions:
    (i) While traditionally limited to investments in military and infrastructure, there is no reason the state cannot assume venture capital objectives for strategic investments that private sectors are unwilling or unable to make, particularly when advancing long-term strategic objectives.

    (ii) Under a fiat monetary system, the private provision of consumer credit at interest for durable goods and assets is unnecessary. As demonstrated by Singapore’s benefit provision model, the state could engage in consumer credit provision, eliminating practices that bait individuals into financial hazard.

    (iii) These changes result in a system where the private sector is directed away from consumer rent-seeking and toward organized capital investment for medium-term returns, fostering greater economic productivity and long-term stability.

    (iv) The state an reduce dependency on taxation (indirect) and increase dependency on returns on investment (direct), increasing the accountability of the public sector by creating common interests between the people, industry and state.

    Cheers

    Yes but you’re honest about it. And that’s a good thing.

    I find it repulsive because it’s a dimwit machine. But I do enjoy youtube shorts.

    Q: Curt: –“I don’t see capitalism surviving the technological singularity.”–
    Capitalism didn’t survive 2008. But rule of law did and we’re in the era of restoring ‘reciprocity’ in trade – which is the difference between capitalism and rule of law.

    So, the end of capitalism per say is probably not true. The industrial age has produced an absence of the hand of man and the resulting aesthetics. I suspect those of us who are arguing in favor of working for the commons rather than the private sector will shift.

    In other words, more of the scope of work in exchange for income will come from various levels of government. Not exactly the depression era WPA but a little more ‘soviet’ than I think most of us might wish.

    But europe pre-war was a vast open air museum. And there is no reason we won’t return to that. Otherwise, Sitting around means idle hands make ill will.

    IS A RESTORATION OF CHRISTENDOM POSSIBLE?
    (Of the Church and Dogma? Not without collapse and even then unlikely. Given the requirements for suspension of disbelief necessary for supernatural faith:(a) cognitively feminine cognition (b) familial and social indoctrination, (c) feeling of being ‘left behind’ – then, as we see in the rapid accumulation of data, around 1/5 of the population will remain devoted to the religion, and the rest will seek some alternative frame of reference even if they preserve the underlying moral biases.)

    I have spent years on this problem and my understanding of the progress of what we call religions is that the unification of masculilne-master-nature-techne in european civilization with the feminine-slave-people-occult in semitic civilization will continue to progress as a spectrum from fundamentalist(theological) to humanist (philosophical) to natural law (scientific) while continuing the incremental dilution of the semitic occult.

    This civic religion will still be ‘christianity’ in that it is a synthesis of masculine european aristocratic and feminine semitic peasant cognitive demands, but the exact form it will take, and the institutional structure that will propagate and preserve it is open to question. IMO it will require a reformation in education and the use of education as the institution.

    My (our) opinion is that the church succeeded in discovery of natural law and the founders of its expression as constitutional law – at least as complete as they good at the time. Natural law is consistent with greek philosophy and christian theology, as well as the unification of the sciences. By teaching the natural law the difference between causality (divine, natural, man made) is irrelevant. The words we use will be the only difference. Our behavior will be the same.

    Clearly education has been captured by the Marxist sequence, just as the ancient world was captured by the abrahamic sequence. The first led to a dark age and the second was ‘getting there’ as it has already destroyed education, the university, the media, government, and much of business and industry’s international competitiveness.
