And more pointedly, the difference between necessary discipline maintaining domestication and civilization in that high trust civilization, is again, whether what we defend is informational, behavioral, human, and institutional capital upon which our high trust depends.

3) I know why it’s happening and it started in the mid 1800s. It only infected the west after 1900. And it only took foothold in the west after 1945. And if you could comprehend it, and even understand it was possible, it would horrify you.

Today’s stoicism is to stoicism what western Buddhism is to Buddhism. Kind of nonsense.

I’m pretty horrified at the rise of feminine emotionalism, the loss of martial stoicism, and the extraordinary decline in the quality of thought since about 1920. Worse, we’re graduating 40x more people but the number of scientific proucers has remained constant or declined.

(a) Only Brits, and their aristocratic, martial, legal, responsible, moral, hyper-sensitivity can write non-nonsense history, and (b) only the Irish can maintain Christian love, humor, and playfulness in the face of it. 😉

6. I can explain this in the broader course of intellectual history, as the failure of Babbage to formalize his work as theory, and the loss of a century of advancement, followed by the Cantor-Einstein-Borh reversal and replatonization of mathematics, restoring its verbalism.

(Six Degrees of Anglos)
Message from long term follower that we’re both descended from the same ‘third wave pilgrim’ (West Midlands -> Boston->NewHaven->Wallingford)
History and Geneology make our understanding of the past relatable tangible and meaningful.

Well, lets take it all the way.
Leave behind the ‘unworthy’.
1. The aristocracy and the nobility
2. The church and the priesthood
3. The underclass and immoral.

It’s that last bit that was ‘unsaid’.
