    THE GREAT CRIMES OF HISTORY

    TEMPLARS: Bankers. Warriors. With Swords. Without Land. Is there any better strategy on earth than that one? The end of the Templars was on par with the christianization of rome, and the enfranchisement of the lower classes into the houses of commons instead of their own house, and the french revolution. Had we kept the Templars but prohibited them by charter from owning land, we never would have had the Rothschilds. We never would have had many of our problems today.

    If I could get the holy see to enact one thing only, it would be to restate the charter of the Templars as warrior banker economists, obedient to the church, and requiring that we kill those who abridge that charter.

    This act would alone, within four generations, restore the Church.

    TRUTH AND FEMALE MYSTICISM

    (very controversial)

    TRUTH BY CULTURE

    German Protestant : Martial Duty. Truth and Duty are inseparable.

    English Catholic (Episcopalian) : Aristocratic Paternalism. Testimonial Truth.

    Italian Catholic : Utilitarian Paternalism. Objective Truth, Pragmatic action.

    French Catholic : Authoritarian Paternalism. Pragmatism as Truth.

    European Jews : Authoritarian Separatism. Results, not truth. (Truth unknowable)

    Finns and Estonians (lutherans) : Pagans using christian rituals.

    I don’t feel ready to express any confidence in the eastern european concept of truth because as most Russians have said, it is almost impossible for westerners to understand the depth of Russian nihilism. As far as I can tell, eastern europeans practice demonstrable truth, and non-demonstrable mysticism, although their mysticism can be expressed as the opposite of western optimism: a deep presumption that the universe conspires to cheat or oppress them somehow, and that the truth is hidden from them by the universe, and they must defend against both man and the universe.

    ON WOMEN, PRE-SCIENTIFIC AND PSEUDOSCIENTIFIC MYSTICISM

    Women are easier to diagnose than men, since, for example, in the west, we have all the “crazy-chicks” that are into light therapy, pop psychology, postmodern sociology, horoscopes, feminism as an aspirational social model, yoga as religion, and reactionary religions in themselves. ***Western women have, at every single class level, and every single level of education, replaced traditional mysticism with pseudoscientific mysticism.*** The cosmopolitans have sold women every possible means of fulfilling their mystical desires.

    Here in the east, women are still very likely to resort to pre-scientific mysticism. They believe in magic, spells, taboos, superstitions, talismans, gods and demons, female intuition as extra sensory perception, and ‘the order of the universe’ as anthropocentric. Although we do see a creeping expansion of female pseudoscientific mysticism in the culture, as pre-scientific mysticism no longer seems to fulfill their needs, and the various female cults of buddhism, yoga in particular, and other emotionally loaded forms of mysticism evolve in response to increases in formal education. But there is no sign here or in the west that women have abandoned mysticism, even if it is formalized as a pseudoscience in the extreme of academic feminism.

    Women have been traditionally considered the root of evil. And given their impact on devolution of the aristocratic society, back to socialist and premodern forms, and their fascination by and expansion of pseudoscientific mysticism as a replacement for traditional mysticism, it is becoming statistically irrefutable that there is truth to this ancient caution.

    The root is quite obvious however. Female reproduction and intuition evolved for the self and her genes, while male reproduction and intuition evolved for the tribe and advancing the tribe. For women, peace means that they can select preferred mates, but they select mates poorly for regressive (aggressive and impulsive) traits whenever possible (sorry ladies, I just go with the data). Males on the other hand want to band together as brothers to create a tribe, that can compete with other tribes of men.

    For this reason women are politically and genetically destructive. The evidence is that under democracy women have sought to, and succeeded in, destroying their own civilization, mostly by their support of pseudoscientific mysticism as the new religion, and attacking traditional religion so that the could replace it with new pseudoscientific religion. That is why the other civilizations are rebelling against expansion of cultural suicide. They adopt central banking, fiat money, consumer capitalism, but not democracy. Because under democracy the lowest common denominator is expressed in law, and therefore in culture.

    For this reason male dominated cultures will always conquer female dominated cultures. Because if males submit to female political preferences, the more aggressive males have, and always will, propagate. Which is in contrast to evolution that has shown us that the most advanced civilizations suppress impulsivity and aggression at the genetic level.

    POLITICAL SOLUTIONS

    I am not recommending that women be disenfranchised, only that we acknowledge that male and female votes are not of equal weight, or of similar interest. As such, just as we have had the monarchy, the aristocracy (the great families), the business class (the good families), and the church (the peasantry) as separate ‘houses’ of government, representing competing interests, we should also separate the male and female vote, representing competing interests. Competing interests with houses of government allow those houses to conduct exchanges rather than under a monopoly, conduct thefts (“takings”).

    I promote compatibilism through voluntary exchange (cooperation). This promotes truth telling. Democracy requires that we lie (conquest). And the evidence is that all we do is lie under democracy. And anyone who tries will have a very hard time refuting this argument.

  • (A Lament On Intellectual History) You know, I’m openly critical of Rationalism

    (A Lament On Intellectual History)

    You know, I’m openly critical of Rationalism whether Continental or Cosmopolitan. And I am not only critical but hostile to what I see as Rothbard’s cosmopolitan libertine immorality of the low trust society.

    But, those fairly technical criticisms aside (that few grasp anyway), if you spend a decade or more trying to understand the political theory extant throughout history; ethics and morality throughout history; our brief history of economics; and finally Hoppe’s articulation of political, moral and ethical arguments as reducible to property rights and incentives (and my arguments that property rights are positive assertions of the negative prohibition against parasitism), then it becomes clear, once you have exhausted the thought in all those fields, that outside of this Hoppeian technique by which we conduct behavioral, criminal, ethical, moral, political inquiry, that it really is a backward and barren wasteland out there of little but psychologizing and justification with little contribution to our understanding except the odd insight here and there throughout history.

    And that is both inspiring, in that Hoppe constructed it, and depressing that it takes half a lifetime to understand that nearly all else is little more than essays justifying subjective preferences necessary to assist in the accumulation of power, and little else.

    Our field is not exactly populated by great thinkers. But then, we cannot claim that political theory has often been populated by great thinkers. Moralism and psychologism are persuasive, and easily understood. But until we discover the universal morality of fully informed, warrantied, voluntary exchange free of negative externality, and fully articulated property rights correspondent to the current division of knowledge and labor, all statements in Politics, crime, ethics and morality are merely opinions, and NOT CALCULATIONS.

    However, once we possess such knowledge, all human action can be reduced to calculations whose truth propositions are ascertainable, and subjective preference left aside – at least to the same arbitrary precision that constrains all general rules. Groups may choose to allocate their individual property rights as they see fit, for the purposes of more effective cooperation, but this does not alter the basic premise that politics, ethics and morality are no longer open to subjective interpretation but are reduced to calculations with the same degree of precision as any other of the formal logics.

    I say this only because, frankly, it’s depressing that classical liberal philosophy through Hayek is discussed psychologically rather than calculative. And it is almost impossible to debate with members outside of the very narrow Anarcho Capitalist community. And even in the AC community the desire of individuals is to argue not in the calculative sense, but moralistically and psychologically – if not via rather childish applications of marxist critique.

    Ideology may sell. It may make a good meme. But the fundamental difference in this line of inquiry is our ability to calculate using constant categories, rather than rationalize across incommensurable ones. And that is one of the primary reasons why I am against rationalism: it is a vehicle, and always has been, for obscurantism, overloading, loading and framing. Whereas operational definitions (descriptions) and propertarian calculations are immune to obscurantism, overloading, loading and framing. Overloading, framing, loading and obscurantism are part and parcel of Rationalism.

    Unfortunately we cannot often resist the impulse to moralize, psychologize, critique, and engage in loading, framing and overloading – it’s all just elaborate weaponized gossip – and we evolved to make constant use of it. And so reason easily falls victim to it. And only calculation, laundered of all such sentiments, is free of it.

    We have it. We are the only ones who do. But we rarely use it. And it’s an intellectual wasteland out there without it.

    WHIG HISTORY AND WHIG MORALITY

    —The historian Piers Brendon asserts that Burke laid the moral foundations for the British Empire, epitomized in the trial of Warren Hastings, that was ultimately to be its undoing: when Burke stated that “The British Empire must be governed on a plan of freedom, for it will be governed by no other”, this was “…an ideological bacillus that would prove fatal. It was Edmund Burke’s paternalistic doctrine that colonial government was a trust. Colonial Government was to be so exercised for the benefit of subject people that they would eventually attain their birthright—freedom”. As a consequence of this opinion, Burke objected to the opium trade, which he called a “smuggling adventure” and condemned “the great Disgrace of the British character in India”.—
