    Q&A: “IMPORTANCE OF ARISTOTLE?”

    —“Hi, Curt. Currently going through your reading list. Trying to make myself the best propertarian I can so I can help spread the message. There are plenty of libertarians and conservatives who would take to propertarianism if they got the message. My question is to you what do you think the significance of Aristotle’s work is from a propertarian perspective?”—

    Well, Aristotle is as close as we come to the first ‘scientist’, Social: Aristotle, Machiavelli, Bacon, Locke, Smith and Hume, Jefferson, Darwin, Spencer, Durkheim. -vs- physical: Archimedes, Galileo, Copernicus, Davinci, Newton, Maxwell, Einstein

    Now, the way I use natural law was a product of the Stoics, not of Aristotle. And I tend to see the greek era as a combination of spartan aristocracy in law rationalized by the Romans, and Aristotelian intellectuals rationalized by the stoics.

    I would say that Aristotle, Machiavelli, Bacon, Locke, Smith, Hume and Jefferson, Darwin, Spencer, Durkheim, and Hayek, represent the attempt (and near failure) to make the case that natural law, discovered by judges by trial end error, is what constitutes social science. And that economics is an empirical branch of that science, as are evolutionary biology, and cognitive science. But those are explanatory fields, whereas natural, judge discovered, common law is a purely empirical field.

    And this is why I think of my work as uniting philosophy, morality(Ethics), science, sociology, psychology, and law, into a single universal language – as locke suggested – reducible to statements of the voluntary or involuntary transfer of property defined as that which humans demonstrate as property.

    So to summarize, I would say Aristotle is the father of western thought in this sense, and that between Aristotle’s idealism, stoic reason, and roman pragmatism, and finally English empiricism, we developed a chain of reasoning that nearly came to fruition in the last century – but Hayek, Popper, Mises, Brouwer, and Bridgman simply failed. Just as the conservatives failed to produce a competitor to cosmopolitan pseudosciences.

    And they failed because they subconsciously had to work around the truth: they were not benevolent Christians, but self-justifying Aryans (elites), and middle-class capitalism like middle-class voting, was a net negative for the simple reason that the success of the western model is reducible to truth, but that as a consequence our political system is reducible to benevolent domestication of animal man. And that was inconceivable to classical liberals so proud of their defeat of the aristocracy that had made their prosperity possible.

  • THE SUBTLE CAUSE OF DIFFERENCES IN RACES AND TRIBES The ethnically Dutch are def

    THE SUBTLE CAUSE OF DIFFERENCES IN RACES AND TRIBES

    The ethnically Dutch are definitely the ‘master tribe’ by any empirical measure. The ethnically north sea (Danes, Swedes, Norwegians, Finns and North Germans) are an obvious distance behind.

    If for no other reason than there is greater territorial distance between them and the less evolved people (resistance to invasive genes), and the difficulty of surviving long winters ( selection ), and the combination of late marriage, voluntary mate selection, and near breeding (selection), culling (hanging, starvation, and war).

    The celts ( my mother’s relations, and that of most of Britons ) get to ride-along like the Franks, and the eastern Europeans. But its pretty simple really: Selective breeding over longer periods of time with less of the genes from the sunshine latitudes.

    Evolution progresses upward under lower population density and dysgenia spreads in high population density. This is fairly obvious but that there should be a balance in order to preserve the human condition is something that limits us, and we dislike it.

    Someone sent me a map the other day, that showed genders of western Europeans (r1b, r1a) to be about equally attractive on average(forests: cattle farmers), eastern European females on average to be more attractive than males (Polish Ukrainian Russian), and, along with the increase in black hair, southeastern europeans to be less attractive on average, and middle easterners (turks, iranians, Jews, and Arabs) to be much less attractive on average. This assessment does not include north Africans, black Africans, the caucasian people of India, or the east and southeast Asians.

    But if I look at it as a very simple question of (a) degree of sexual immaturity or maturity, (b) degree of sexual dimorphism, then these two axes reflect both differences in testosterone and estrogen, and differences in sexual maturity.

    – Southeast Asians have lower sexual maturity, lower sexual dimorphism that’s slanted female. High inequality of desirability between women and men.

    – East Asians have lower sexual maturity and lower sexual dimorphism, slanted female. High inequality of desirability between women and men.

    – Eastern and Southern Slavs have lower sexual maturity, (hence the jawline), and higher female dimorphism. Women slightly more desirable than men.

    – Germanic Whites have lower sexual maturity (prolonged adolescence) and higher sexual dimorphism. Men and women equally desirable.

    – The Iranian/jewish branch (vs the celt/germanpolish/ukrainian

    branch), and the arab and berber branches, have higher sexual maturity but level sexual dimorphism. (male emotionalism, females with strong male features). Men more desirable than women.

    – The black africans have very high and fast sexual maturity, superior strength and agility. and masculine slanted sexual dimorphism. High inequality of desirability between women and men.

    CAN TWO AXIS EXPLAIN ALMOST EVERYTHING?

    Lets illustrate using two well-understood extremes: female solipsism and male autism. Women tend toward the solipsistic and men the autistic. Men tend toward the spatio-physical(models and systems), and women to the verbal (individuals and experiences). Rates of maturity reduce time in childhood and adolescence for learning. Rates of maturity increase impulsivity. Search for novelty increases

    THE DATA

    We see this in the desirability of mates on dating and social sites from around the world, and we have such enormous amounts of data now from demonstrated preferences that these questions are no longer hypothetical, but now require refutation that will be difficult to determine.

    WHY DO WE SELECT FOR THESE TRAITS?

    Women select poorly by instinct, and men are not terribly selective at all. Women are attracted to that which they understand, men what visual signs of fertility that they can observe. Marriage and reduction of insurance by the tribe force men and women to mate on long-term survival grounds, rather than on our sexual impulses – which at least for women, do not assist us in collecting desirable traits in civilization. And men are not discriminate enough to select without marriage.

    Taller, more symmetrical, fairer, and all other signs of ‘health’ like hair, skin, head size. But we have to be able to survive our environments with those traits. Africa and high conflict areas need masculine traits, some ver hot areas smaller size, and the polar regions feminine traits are more beneficial, and survivable.

    It’s no secret any longer that there is a difference between how we perceive aspirational beauty (tall blondes) and reproductive frequency (petite brunettes). The petite brunettes have more offspring. And they appear to be far more loyal. And men are more willing to work for them.

    THE RESOURCE CURSE

    The discovery of fossil fuels for the purpose of creating electricity has been a quality of life improvement, but expanded dysgenia in cold climates to match that in warm climates.

    (It was just as important to domesticate women’s reproductive impulses to reflect economic needs rather than military needs, as it was to domesticate man’s military impulses and redirect them to economic needs. We have systematically forced both men and women out of parasitism and into production – and it’s hard to be productive.)

    ANCIENT GROUP STRATEGIES WRIT LARGE

    – FORESTLANDS: Aristocratic Ethics: What will someone not retaliate against even if we agree to it?(rulers/teleological ethics:outcomes) The ethics of warriors who must hold territory. This is a very high cost strategy because while professional warrior aristocracy is militarily superior, smaller numbers mean threats must be constantly suppressed when small, as soon as identified.

    – BORDERLANDS: Cosmopolitan(Jewish) Ethics: What will someone consent to Regardless of future resentment and retaliation? (borderland/subculture/deontological ethics:rules) The ethics of diasporic, migrating traders, or herding peoples who can prey upon the locals who hold territory. This is a very low cost (parasitic) ethics that avoids all contribution to the host commons, but requires preserving the ability to exit (migrate). It is the raider strategy by systemic and verbal rather than physical means.

    – STEPPELANDS: Russian(Orthodox) Ethics: What can I get away with now by negotiation and subterfuge, and hold by force later? (steppe raiders) The ethics of steppe people surrounded by competitors, always hostile and unpredictable. This is a difficult and expensive but only possible strategy, when one is surrounded by hostile opportunity seekers. While seemingly expansive, it’s actually a fearful one – aggression as the only possible means of controlling defensive positions across open territory.

    – RIVERLANDS: Chinese Ethics: What can I get away with now, but over time make impossible to change later? The ethics of long term ruling bureaucratic class. Sun Tzu strategy, and Confucian hyper familism. This is an exceptionally cost-effective strategy if one possesses a territorial resource (heartland), and can fortify that heartland. Riverlands strategy defends against Steppland and Desertland strategies.

    – DESERTLANDS: Muslim Ethics: (I am still working on this one because I don’t get that it’s causal, but opportunistic.) What can I justify now in order to make this minor advance now? And thereby accumulate wins by wearing down opponents over long periods. The ethics of opportunism. As far as I can tell islam is just an excuse for justifying opportunism. We can consider this the combination of religion and justifying opportunism – a long term very successful strategy becuase it’s very low cost.

    – HOSTILELANDS: African Ethics (pre-christian). Africa is akin to the Desertlands because of the sheer number of competitors, the hostility of the disease gradient, the plethora of wildlife, combined with the primitiveness of the available technologies. This is the only possible strategy until one or more core states can evolve, and create sufficient stability in some regions. (this is occurring now).

    CIVILIZATIONS NOT STATES

    It is a mistake (always), to consider conflicts within states over local power (capital allocation), as of the same consequence as conflicts between civilizations over borders. Because the former is a kinship conflict over priorities, while the latter is a genetic conflict over group evolutionary strategies.

    QUESTION FOR MY FRIENDS FROM GHANA

    What are the dominant political narratives (mythologies) in various parts of Africa? I know there are various movements. But the list is enormous and I can’t separate the meaningful from the marginal.

    Pan-Africanism I know about. What else is significant? thanks.

    (why? I want to see if I can include them in my chapter on ideologies)

    If the Russian Soviets and Jewish Bolsheviks hadn’t been brutal murderers experimenting on mankind you could at least appreciate their attempt at modernization of such a backward place.

    But their education system, rapid industrialization, was not achieved through fiat credit as the Chinese have just done. But through attempting to circumvent capitalism. So Russia modernized but spent the incentives they could have built and list the opportunity.

    Mao did even worse. As did the other communists and socialists.

    But the Chinese finally understood: they had enough people left in poverty that they could create consumer capitalism quickly.

    The Russians just have to evolve rule of law.

    What they could have done was create rule of law then use fiat money and the incentives would have trained the people.

    But they spent the opportunity to use those incentives to train the people.

  • ITS NOT JUST STOICISM, ITS THE ENTIRE WESTERN CORPUS. During the age of transfor

    ITS NOT JUST STOICISM, ITS THE ENTIRE WESTERN CORPUS.

    During the age of transformation the westerners were running individual farms, by extended families, and ruled by a professional warrior aristocracy – today’s “business owners”.

    In this age of transformation, Westerners discovered:

    – objective truth and judgment, testimony, jury, senate

    – debate, reason, and the precursor to science: empiricism

    – common law, contractualism, a prohibition on negatives.

    – the heroic myths and legends as positive mythos.

    – celebrations, plays, and rituals as civic religion.

    In other words they never made the conflationary errors of competing civilizations that combined rule and religion, religion and law, positive claims with negative prohibitions. Where the Babylonians and Egyptians created political monopolies, and where the jews created one book, and the Hindus created one narrative, the Chinese a rational monopoly state as an extended family, and the west “a calculator of innovation”.

    Conflation has led other civilizations to stagnation, and the attempt for example, of the cosmopolitans (and cultural marxists) to reconflate utopian religion and pseudoscience into moral rather than empirical law, has cost us a century and almost cost us our civilization.

    SO WHY DOES THAT MATTER?

    The same conflationary error is true for the methods of conflating mindfulness (individual), mysticism(pseudoscience), and mythology(explanation).

    in the west we did NOT conflate:

    personal mental discipline (emmpirical stoicism)

    the common law (empirical ethics)

    philosophy (rational virtues)

    mythology (mythical ideals)

    natural civic religion( ritual, feast, celebration)

    In other words: nothing was a lie.

    SO LET’S COMPARE THIS STACK TO THE OTHERS

    Japanese ritual

    Japanese ancestor worship

    ‘family’ law (confucius failed to solve the problem of politics)

    Chinese Confucianism (upper), Lao Tzu (lower), Buddhism (escapism)

    Natural Civic Celebrations

    These are ALMOST as ‘true’ except for Buddhism and the fact that the Chinese could not solve the problem of politics (the Han have the same problem as we ‘Aryans’ but they admit it, we don’t). So they were stuck with monopoly. They view their period of consolidation as an achievement without understanding that the warring states, just as each ‘long war’ in europe created a revolution in knowledge and understanding.

    NOW COMPARE TO THE MIDDLE EASTERNERS

    Egyptian, Babylonian, Judaism, Christianity, … you get the idea.

    It is a monopolistic, authoritarian, conflationary, set of such amazing lies and deceits that it is unbelievable that humans fall for it OTHER than that we are so susceptible to environmental overloading of our reason. We are more dependent upon imitation and compatibility with others than we are on reason and evidence. WE are still mimics.

    NOW COMPARE TO MODERNITY

    Boazian, Marxist, Freudian, FrankfurtSchool pseudoscience.

    Postmodern deception.

    How many various techniques for finding excuses for mindfulness?

    How desperate our people for family and tribal information sharing?

    We have television-families, we live alone in boxes – we have replaced interpersonal validation and reality-checks with consumer purchases and store-bought-identities, and virtue signal spirals.

    Feminism, individualism,…. yet 40% of women are on anti-depressants, men are committing suicide in droves over 50, we have a tragic birth rate, and our civilization is being stolen from underneath us.

    What is the difference between selling the Chinese boatloads of heroin, and the import of discount consumer goods that allow us naturally produced endorphine fallacies? There isn’t any.

    I could go on at length, but the point is stoicism is to personal philosophy and personal religion what science is to epistemology, what the common law is to social order, what history is to literature, what philosophy is to religion.

    Stoicism was as important an invention as science.

    And those bastards killed it and forced Christianity upon us on purpose – to enslave the ignorant and the women, and the slaves, to rally against the aristocracy, and to surrender themselves to the bureaucracy.

    There is not enough room in hell for those people, and there is no way to compensate humanity for the damage taht they have done.

    IF hell needs an expansion we certainly can put the socialists, postmodernists, feminists, and pseudoscientists down there enough to force overcrowding. 😉
