  • Has The World Been Plunged Into A Dark Immoral Age?

    1. History is best understood in retrospect not during its making. We are definitely in an era of superstition for the past century – since the rise of all fundamentalisms in reaction to the enlightenment, and then darwin, culminating in current postmodernism. And our new ‘secular religion’ is more intolerant and demanding of falsehoods than any religion ever dreamed of being.
    2. Violence is only a measure of one form of theft. In every era theft shifts as wealth increases. It shifted from murder to theft, then theft to fraud, and fraud to information-fraud. It is arguable that far more theft occurs today than at any time in history, it just occurs through money and credit manipulation and because we are wealthier we just don’t ‘feel’ it. But if you look at what percent of our incomes are ‘taken’ today it’s horrifying compared to the 1–3% taxation that was common throughout history
    3. We seem to have had a number of dark ages over the past 15,000 years, the most obvious one’s being the black sea deluge era, the 1800–1200 bronze age collapse. the Justinian Plague/Muslim Expansion we call the medieval Dark Ages, and now it appears the one that began with the european civil war (the world wars) and truncated the second scientific and cultural revolution occurring in Germany at the time.
    4. All dark ages are identifiably caused by migration periods that disrupt patterns of trade, or plagues or climate changes, that disrupt production. We are currently undergoing one of the greatest demographic shifts in world history. And this is occurring during a period of rebalancing of powers. If successful then we will return to regional powers peacefully. if not we will – as is usual in history – likely encounter some set of wars.
    5. For these reasons it’s arguable that we have been entering a dark age, and that the 20th century is merely a unique period where the accumulated technological and social developments of western civlization from 1200–1900 have been distributed around the world, but the consequences of which have resulted in dramatic demographic changes and political changes that have traditionally produced wars.

    https://t.co/0Qp8zizYpWSUPERIOR YES. NOT FIRST, BUT FASTEST AND BEST

    All evidence in the Stone, Copper, Bronze, Iron, Steel ages is that whites were superior to all other races but that whites on the eurasian plain possessed certain geographic advantages that allowed them to avoid developing monolithic civilizations in order to defend against competitors from multiple directions so endemic to warmer climates.

    The general argument is that X civilization did something or other first. And this will always be true of the irrigated river valley civilizations, because of the caloric savings provided by those river valleys.

    But as a consequence whites never developed the ‘bads’ that came with monolithic social and political orders, or intellectual orders, or religious orders. So, while whites were individually wealthier, they were institutionally poorer. And as a consequence, whites preserved a professional warrior caste and dependence upon a militia.

    So because of this constant competition in all walks of life, combined with the ‘testimonial’ epistemology necessary in militia and warrior armies, whites advanced FASTER than the rest in each era.

    In other words, good farm land but lack of concentration of river floods, left the west with institutional disadvantages and lack of concentration of wealth, and preserved competition between individuals, families, tribes, nations, and later states.

    The consequence of preserving military epistemology (testimony: objective truth telling) across the land holding polity, and the competing institutions is *rapidity*.

    Whites calculate change more comfortably and faster than all other social orders, and this is even evident in our very precise (high syntax, low context) languages.

    And it is this organized chaos we call ‘markets in every aspect of life’ that produces such stressful uncertainty in western civilization, and we export that stress to all other civilizations, as we drag them against their will out of ignorance, superstition, stagnation, poverty, violence, tyranny and disease.

    So yes. Except for that period around 1000 between the plagues of Justinian and the black plague (Both brought from Asia), whites have been demonstrably superior. Not first. But always best.

    Are whites inferior?

    —“Anyone ever read Weber’s “The Protestant Ethic?”—

    I think the intellectual consensus is that weber confused cause and consequence. The protestant ethic was around for 4000 years, but was brought into its peak starting in 7-800 by the use of manorialism starting in holland. Spreading rapidly across the Hajnal line, and roughly in concert with the prohibition on cousin marriage. Protestants possessed the work ethic, but protestantism did not create it. Conversely it appears the work ethic created or justified protestantism.

  • How Does Civilization Lead To Racism?

    As we developed polities, economies, empires, and civilizations we cooperate in greater numbers, with greater anonymity, first across families, then tribes, then nations, and then races.

    People in every region, in every race, in every era act POLITICALLY as a group even if they act pragmatically when acting individually in daily life.

    The more possible it is to use political, economic, or military power to increase status for a group, the more likely it is to cause racial tensions.

    Those states that have been most successful at minimizing racial and tribal tensions have been those that preserve majority control of political, economic, and military institutions such that while people may cooperate as individuals, they cannot compete as groups.
