    Whatever is sufficient to fund the next raid. The purpose of raids is not accumulation of capital but defeat of the enemy through attrition.

    What’s the portable wealth for raiders to carry off? Women? What else?

    IT’S TIME FOR VIKING!!!

    The purpose of raids is not accumulation of capital but defeat of the enemy through attrition. All that is necessary to target in each raid is that which is sufficient to fund the next raid.

    Increase your cash, your equipment, your weapons.

    And burn everything else to the ground. (so to speak)

    THE UNCERTAIN FUTURE

    (a) War is certain simply because it is always certain. (b) Plague is certain because it is always certain. (d) economic Malthusian limits are certain because they are always certain – it’s just demographics; (c) Resource exhaustion is certain because Malthusian limits to the earth are always certain.

    The question is only whether we make civil war certain so that we CHOOSE the war rather than are victims of war, plague, economic exhaustion, and resource exhaustion.

    The hypothesis that we have defeated Methuselah is very hard to stand behind. The question is whether we choose to control and survive those certainties or choose to be the victim of them.

    There exist no theories without limits other than the certainty that all theories (general rules of limited precision) have limits. Dark ages are a regular occurrence. Civilizational collapse is a regular occurrence. The reasons are always the same: technological innovation followed by mass migration, causing information, incentive, and organizational collapse within the civil orders.

    We always choose our destiny. We choose to pay for the one we want, or we choose not to and get what we deserve.

    I had a very ‘evil’ thought. You know, during our rise to the hunter gatherer phase, women were herded as domesticated animals. During our hunter gatherer phase, they seem to have been members of families. During our agrarian phase they were treated as property, slaves, or labor as often as not. During our industrial phase – given the advent of birth control – they have sought equality with men, but the majority end up as single mothers and men as serial sex partners providing extra income. So is what we are seeing now, men simply – as are women – following incentives. Because the obvious incentive is for the majority of men to vote themselves sustenance from the state and abandon all contribution and responsibility for family. And in effect, return to the more traditional tribal role of leaving women to do the vast majority of the work, and spending the rest of the time ‘hunting and fishing’ so to speak.

    IT’S TIME TO RETURN TO VIKING!

    (important and counter-intuitive idea)

    For 500 years, europeans have made the market and increase in markets a group evolutionary advantage through the combination of advanced technologies – especially in weapons, rule of law and the cult of jurors, and accounting. However, if you haven’t noticed, *the market is not a disadvantage to group evolutionary strategy*. Ergo: the advancement of group evolutionary strategy that is succeeding is the extra-market strategy. Just as the group evolutionary strategy of warfare is extra-state. So if I could wish my brothers to understand something, it would be, that return to our usual occupation of warriors, raiders, and conquerors is once again more profitable than markets. And that’s not a theory it’s evidence. It’s Time For Viking.

    (Let that sink in)

    funny how moderns and christians want to attribute meaning to scandinavian symbols, but the uniqueness of the west is its absence of mysticism and magic. magic was much closer to what we think of as science and medicine, religion much closer to mythology. loading and framing are semitic inventions. we are living in an age of mysticism.
