  • Stop Denying Who We Are

    STOP DENYING WHO WE ARE I mean, you can choose: Western sovereignty by which we and humanity profit from our incremental transformation of man from impulsive animal into human with agency in the pursuit of sovereignty for all, or the Semitic, Persian profit from the expansion of the underclass and the continuous devolution of man. Or the Chinese authoritarian version that seems to always end in stagnation. Only one of these models has served to raise man out of ignorance and poverty in the bronze, iron, and steel, ages, That’s the west. Stop denying who we are. We are the people who domesticated the animal man for fun and profit by breeding for agency, such that with agency we can produce a population of sovereigns – equal among the gods. Every group of humans can take this strategy if they choose.

    Molyneux (Moulineaux) and Doolittle (De Dolietta) are anglicizations of Norman (French) names. The Moulineux’s originate from the Siene river farther east, and De Dolietta from further west near Avranches.

    It’s gotta be genetic.

  • Absolute Nuclear Family only Survives Under Special Conditions

    The absolute nuclear family only survives under special conditions: when all men are in the militia, all families are culturally homogenous and near kin, and where there is little migration. In other words, it evolved under the middle class version of farming: manorialism, and the middle class version of farms: producing excess for market sale, and the middle class marketplace that results from the production of excess for market sale. The nuclear family and government pensions are a very, very, very destructive cancer.

  • We are Best When We Do Not Rest

    Our first wave settled all the way to the northern limits and developed a copper civilization across Europe – including our monumental stone henge. And we rested. Our second wave created a bronze civilization in central europe, and advanced all of europe by doing so. And we rested. Our third wave out of the Ukraine combined horse, wheel, bronze, and aristocracy to conquered the world from Spain to china and then slowly drag humanity out of ignorance, superstition, poverty, disease, dysgenic reproduction, and tyranny. And then we rested. Then we dragged the mediterranean world out of ignorance superstition, poverty, dysgenic reproduction, and tyranny. And then we rested. Then we dragged the european world out of ignorance, and superstition, physical labor, poverty, and disease. And we did not rest. Then we dragged the rest of the world out of ignorance superstition, poverty, dysgenic reproduction, and tyranny. And we cannot rest. We are never first. We are always fastest. Most innovative. And best. When we do not rest.

  • The Data You Want on the West Vs the Rest

    Civilization: Powered by the West, Threatened by the Rest Via William Butchman http://thealternativehypothesis.org/index.php/2017/01/09/civilization-powered-by-the-west-threatened-by-the-rest/ As Butch mentioned above, (I just saw this post tonight, on March 1st) I’m increasingly confident that what accounts for the west consistently competing faster than ‘the rest’ is sovereignty, and its requirement for deflationary truth, and everything else results from it. The question is, why does it appear that westerners to have had this rather aristotelian bias “realism” or “military epistemology” even into prehistory? The only explanation that fits consists of a small number of related traits: (a) the lack of clannishness that seems to be a predisposition of near-arctic peoples everywhere in the upper hemisphere, (b) the long term use of metallurgy outside of the authoritarian mysticism necessary to organize irrigation in the river valleys, and (c) the battle tactics of raiders who family-financed bronze, horse, and wheel: beginning with voluntary membership in the ‘venture’, selection of leaders (generals), contractual adherence to promised battle plans even at risk of death, contractual distribution of proceeds from battle, and the merciless demands of military epistemology – a discipline we still practice in basic training today: testimony.

  • The Distillation of Western Civilization

    THE DISTILLATION OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION If you would be sovereign, you must fight. If you would be sovereign and win, you must equally confederate. If you would be sovereign and confederate, you must equally compromise. If you would be sovereign and equally compromise, you must equally forgo opportunities for gain at another’s loss. If you would be sovereign and equally forgo equal opportunities to gain at another’s loss, your actions are limited to those that are productive, fully informed, warrantied, and voluntary, and limited to productive externalities. If you limit your actions to those, then the ONLY possible rule is rule by Common, judge-discovered, Natural Law of Non Imposition of Costs, and therefore, voluntary markets in everything: association, cooperation, reproduction, production, production of commons, production of dispute resolution, production of institutions, productions of monuments, production of war, productions of generations, This is Western Civilization: the choice of Sovereignty once made produces all that we have done. Small things in large numbers have vast consequences. If you would be Sovereign, and reap the benefits of Sovereignty, you must fight – fight to deny others all possible alternatives. If you will not fight you cannot be sovereign. You may beg the Sovereigns for commercial liberty, or physical freedom, or charity, in exchange for compensation. But you may never be in fact sovereign. by William Butchman, Eli Harman, and Curt Doolittle
