Conflict 15: Cause and Cure
History of Abrahamism
Origins of Abrahamism: The Gender Differences in Negotiating
superpredator. Male political and physical (fast) and female social and informational (slow). The Genders differ in their competition, conflict and warfare strategy.
Males: Truth under threat of violence in the service of male solidarity in the preservation of the Tribe and Territory is the competitive strategy of males. Males fight for position in the hierarchy and end conflict with increases in loyalty to one another. — vs — Females: conformity under threat of reputation destruction in the service of female solidarity independent of Tribe and Territory is the competitive strategy of females. Females fight to destroy or kill without ending.Abrahamism consists of the continuous advancement of the female means of conflict and war: undermining, deceit, and exhaustive relentless diligence in seizing every opportunity to do so. It is the ‘gatherer’ and ‘herd’ strategy of continuous harm. Men tend not to do this, in-group. Instead men use threats of violence and organized violence. What I do, what we Propertarians do, is teach how to identify, understand, and defeat these feminine arguments – arguments that because of our high trust genetics, traditions, institutions, and civilization, we are disproportionately vulnerable to.
The Evolution of The Art of Lying:
- The Female Group Strategy of Undermining
- Abrahamism v1: Judaism against Babylon’s Aristocracy
- Abrahamism v2: Christianity against Western Aristocracy.
- Abrahamism v3: Islam against the ancient world’s Aristocracy
- Abrahamism v4: Marxism against the modern world’s Aristocracy.
- Abrahamism v5: French Postmodernism against the current world’s Aristocracy.
- Abrahamism v6: Islamism against the entire world’s Aristocracy.
This is why the abrahamic (Jewish in particular, or Semitic in general) means of countering Greco-Roman-European argument by using false promise, baiting into hazard, pilpul (sophism), and critique (undermining) is so effective: it is how our females talk to us, and because of our high trust, we are either genetically or culturally vulnerable to it – where other lower trust people are not. And we are easily undermined politically and academically because our females naturally find greater ‘affinity’ with Semitic non-argument (religion, postmodernism, feminism, denialism) than with European reason science truth testimony.
- Male European – Truth over Face, Regardless of cost.
- Male everywhere else – some degree of face over truth.
- Female everywhere – nearly universal face over truth.
Yet it is truth over face that is the reason for the ‘Western miracle’ – why the rest is so different from the rest. Hence why Christians are the vulnerability of Western civilization: their religion was developed to obtain the attention of women, and to appeal to GSRM. The religion is stated and argued with false promise(‘salvation’), baiting into hazard (cultural vulnerability to conquest), using pilpul (excuse making) and critique (straw manning), and the fictionalism of supernaturalism. The Middle East uses the female reproductive strategy and the Far East and the West use the male reproductive strategy, with the Far East using face over truth to defend hierarchy and the West using truth before face to defend the market of the peerage. And the Middle East today just as in the age of the Greeks, just lying and shaming all truth without end. The world is not complicated. It is our lies that make it seem so.
Abrahamism, Communism, Postmodernism vs Technology, Markets, and Truth.
We see the evolution of law of western peoples:
1 – Sovereignty, (individualism is incorrect). 2 – Tort, and thang, court, senate, 3 – Martial Truth (Military ‘Reporting’), and the demand for speaking martial truth regardless of the consequences to the dominance (competency) hierarchy. 4 – Reason, rationalism, empiricism, and science as a consequence. 5 – Markets and competing intellectual disciplines rather than authority and mono-disciplines (ie: religion). These choices are the consequences of mixed, metalworking, agrarian, cattle herders, requiring large well defended territories, that must self finance their military capability, because they lack any means of concentrating capital and taxation cheaply as did the irrigationist in the flood river valleys. They developed ‘Contractual Civilization’. But we also see:
1 – Abrahamic fiction and supernaturalism of the pastoralists against the reason and realism of the agrarians and metallurgists; 2 – Pseudoscientific Communism as a restatement of Jewish separatism using class warfare; and; 3 – Postmodernism as a pseudo-rational restatement of Marxism-communism using ethnic warfare. WHERE
1 – Superstition (Judaism, Christianity, Islamism) …. evolved into ==> 2 – Pseudoscience (w Jewish Critique) … evolved into ==> 3 – Pseudo rationalism (w Jewish Pilpul) (French > German > Jewish), … evolved into ==> 4 – Denialism and silencing (w Jewish Bolshevism) … evolved into ==> 5 – Private Sector Denial an Silencing ( jewish american bolshevism) USING Each time increasing in rhetorical complexity but using the same techniques in each of the sophisms:
1 – Justification (Pilpul) and Poisoning the Well by Straw Man (Critique) then adding incremental techniques of: … a) Fictionalism (Fictional History > Mythology), … b) Supernaturalism, … c) Pseudoscience, and; … d) Pseudo Rationalism, and at present … e) Simple Denialism. (Race, IQ, Homogeneity, Markets)LYING BY SUGGESTION It took me less than a year of relatively hard work to disassemble the techniques into grammars and enumerate and articulate all of them. But no matter the depth of analysis, lying by art of suggestion by overloading is still lying by abuse of the human process of continuous recursion in streams of memory producing what we call Meaning, and our suggestibility and suspension of disbelief in that state. DEFENSE AGAINST FALSEHOOD Realism, Reason, Calculation and Computation in all their forms, are defenses against this suggestion, loading, overloading by the use of correspondence and operational possibility, but take disciplined training and a minimum intellectual ability. Because we have a host of cognitive and moral (reproductive) biases that influence our choices without the discipline and training to prevent them from doing so. RULES OF ORDER The Ancient World civilizations each produced means of producing sufficient meaning (rules) for local preservation of cooperation: Rome (Realism), Athens (Idealism(abstract)), Anatolian (lost), Babylon (Ideal Monotheism(supernatural)), Jerusalem (Authoritarian Reactionary Monotheism), Beka Valley (Authoritarian Expansionary Monotheism), Memphis (Pragmatic Ritual Polytheism), Indus (Pragmatic Narrative Polytheism), and Yellow River (Confucian Rationalism, hierarchy and harmony), Lao Tsu’s “balance and reasonableness”, and the utility of Buddhism in Ritual. With only the Japanese
The Great Conflict of Human History
The homogeneous masculine eugenic pack of hunters and farmers were able to produce high trust commons, versus the heterogeneous feminine dysgenic universalist herd and herders were unable to produce high trust commons. (Cain and Able is the literary example of the Pastoralists hatred of the wealthier and urbanized Agrarians and Metalworkers). But the question is not Athens vs Jerusalem, since both ideal democracy and supernatural universalism have been the greatest failures of all of the world civilizations, causing the destruction of every great ancient civilization and bringing about the Abrahamic Dark Age and it’s 750M dead; as well as the current 150 Year attempt at recreating another Abrahamic Dark Age — this time by Rousseau, Kant, Marx, Boas, Freud, Cantor, Adorno and co., and their 100M dead. Followed by the inventiveness of the French and their conspirators: Derrida, Foucault, Rorty et al. And the feminists that followed from them: each trying to produce a monopoly as a means of avoiding markets for cooperation, because they are unable to compete in those markets for pareto optimums, only Nash equilibriums In the ancient world, overextension of the empires to eliminate local frictions (taxes, rents) on trade, and profit from those efficiencies, produced travel, communication, trade, and infrastructure that made possible the Jewish and Christian invasion of the western empire; intentional fomenting of underclass resistance against the aristocratic civilization; and then Byzantine forcible conversion of the entirety of the population in order to end Reason, Law, and Aristocratic Rule. The same technique is being used in this current era: invade, rebel, rally underclasses, import underclasses, and then seek power by numbers, using fairy tales desirable by those underclasses using the sophisms those underclasses are defenseless against, and which the Aristocracy tolerates or finds useful until the society has been destroyed by it.
Origins
Gobekli Tepe is the oldest Temple complex we find to date, and predates all other monolithic works by thousands of years. It is also just south of one of the world’s greatest hunting gardens teeming with life at the origin of the Euphrates – an Eden if there ever was one. As far as we know, from there, at the nexus of the continents, near the center of trade between them, on the highways of the main rivers, the idea spread from the monoliths of the Atlantic peoples to the advanced stone of the Egyptians. It was an early and effective tool of social order. Most likely because it predicted seasons. Once those skills existed, the construction revolution bloomed.
The West that The Rest Rebels Against
While Myth, Ritual, and Oath are necessary components of demand for neural economy (computational efficiency) in the production of rules of social order, how we communicate those rules, the group evolutionary strategies in those rules, and the outcomes that are produced as externality by those rules, are not only means of internal persistence, but external competition. Only one set of those rules produces reciprocally beneficial outcomes: Western Truth, Duty, Reciprocity, Sovereignty, Reason, Science, Rule of Law, and Competitive Markets in Everything gave the world nearly everything that raised man out of ignorance, superstition, poverty, hard labor, starvation, disease, suffering, child mortality, early death, and the dangers of nature. Western Civilization consists of The Continuous Calculation by Competitive Trial and Error, of our Ascent into the Gods we imagine. Western civilization was and until recently, was organized to continuously produce Agency at the cost of eugenia, whereas the middle civilizations were organized to limit agency in exchange for dysgenia. Without Manorialism and Markets (East Asia, Europe) the dysgenia defeats all attempts at preservation of gains. It is not malthus’ numbers that cause dark ages. It is the end of eugenic limitations, let loose by unregulated innovations, that feed regression to the mean, and brought about the Bronze age, Iron Age, and the present Steel Age collapses. That is why the enlightenment project failed to create either an aristocracy of everyone (British), a middle class of everyone (French and German), or an underclass of everyone (Jewish and Russian). In Europe and east Asia, after more than a thousand years of manorialism, war, disease, and extremely aggressive criminal prosecution, the consequential upward redistribution of reproduction led to distributions that allowed Pareto organization of populations where the ratio of the middle and upper was sufficient to produce surpluses necessary to concentrate capital in multipliers (commons). But both Hindus (which have yet failed in their project), east Asians (who succeeded under our pressures), and Westerners (who succeeded because of our tradition of empirical law), had an advantage. The Chinese conquered and colonized all border people. The Western Indo Europeans conquered (exterminated) and colonized all border people, and both Europe and east Asia produced homogenous eugenic, agrarian, metalsmithing societies. Either one is eugenic or dysgenic. The red queen cannot be defeated by any other means. It takes 95 to follow simple instructions, 105 to repair a machine, 115 to learn on one’s own by reading, 120 to design a machine, 130+ to synthesize and communicate ideas, 140+ to invent new ideas. Everyone below that who cannot be put into labor that does not require continuous learning and adaptation. This is social science. Everything else is religion.
European Truth vs Levantine Critique
[O]nce you grasp that Cosmopolitan (Marxist-Socialist, Postmodern, Libertine, feminist Neoconservative) Critique is an attempt at exclusionary authoritarianism – a modern restatement of the technique applied in Jewish argument and law – it becomes fairly obvious why the combination of:
(a) The desire for obscurant arguments to be true, (b) Emotional and intellectual investment in the truth of these obscurant arguments, and (c) Hostility to refutation, are so pervasive: … … 1) psychological utility obtained from intuitional moral ‘righteousness’, … … 2) group unity in that moral conviction, and; … … 3) ostracization of non-believers on the other, are precisely what ‘separatists’ require of a religion. However, this modern set of religions is pseudo-scientific and pseudo-rational rather than legal, mystical and monotheistic in verbal construction. But the verbal construction is merely a technological advancement over monotheistic mythology, and Jewish dual-ethics-law. Northern Europeans used truth, property and fighting as the binding commitment to one another, not belief. We used opportunity to join success in a hostile landscape, and they used threat of ostracization in among hostile tribes. We are all the product of our ancient geographies. The strategies of the weak and small in number, versus the strong and small in number. Both Jewish and Germanic systems of thought evolved for use by small populations. You will take notice which strategy leads to the construction of vast civilizations, technology, art, science and medicine, and what the other led to – near extermination.

Our common-law tradition and the militia built the West. We escaped the Abrahamic religion and immediately restored our ancient trajectory. The reason for degeneracy is the reintroduction of Abrahamic Religion in pseudoscientific (Marxist) and pseudo-rational (postmodernist) prose. Sorry. I have spent extraordinary effort in testing our most cherished beliefs: and Abrahamism created the dark ages. Jews did nothing. We did very little. And Muslims destroyed the four great civilizations of the ancient world – dragging them backward into inescapable ignorance. Every civilization needs literature, oaths, and festivals for the intergenerational propagation of general rules of decidability that express their group competitive strategy. No civilization needs lies, and Abrahamism in word and form is just lies.

The Counter-Revolution Against Anglo Legal-Empiricism, and German Rational-Science. The Utopian Promise upon Achieving Monopoly Consensus + Straw Man + Pilpul and Critique:

Compare To: Judaism > Christianity > Islam.
Same Technique, Same False Promise, Same Catastrophic Consequences
How Can We End Abrahamic Deceit Forever?
Restore our requirement that all public speech, to the public, in matters public be limited to testimony. Really. That’s it. It’s quite simple. We already prohibit false speech in commerce, regarding products, services, and information. We Need only extend that demand from the MORE immediate goods, of products, services, and information, to that of the less immediate goods, services, and especially information. Especially that information that while perhaps imaginable and preferable, purports to be possible, “good” or True that is neither possible, nor good, nor true. How? Involuntary Warranty of Tests of Due Diligence 1 – Categorical consistency 2 – Logical consistency 3 – Empirical consistency 4 – Operational consistency 5 – Rational consistency (incentives of a rational actor) 6 – Moral consistency (perfect reciprocity) 7 – Scope Consistency (Limits.) 8 – Full accounting of content and consequence within those limits. While this might seem difficult to you at first blush, it is not something that courts will have difficulty with, and within a decade and certainly a generation, the body of law will evolve into common practice. And all the culture along with it. And all of mankind as a consequence. End the invention of lying.
The Truth Is Enough to Restore the West
Truth is enough. End the lies. End The Entire Abrahamic Program of Lies: False Reality, False History, False Promise (Moral Hazard), Pilpul (via positiva sophism), Critique (via negativa sophism), Straw Manning, and the Dysgenic Strategy of the Herd fearing being left behind by their betters. Ethnocentrism; Nationalism; Nature, Ancestor, and Monarchical Thanks (worship), and the inheritance that they have left us as Sovereignty, Reciprocity, Truth, Duty, Merit, The Natural Law, A Jury of our Peers, The Militia of Sovereign Men, Markets In everything, and the science and technology that has provided in the present, what Those Who Lie had promised them. No More Lies. Restore Our Natural Law, and Our Natural Religion, to our Natural Peoples. We Must Rule, if Not for The Sake of All Mankind, but Out of Self Defense.
We Know the Name of The Devil
Europeans speak in the language of the gods, written in the hand of the gods: math, science, physical law, natural law, and testimony. Abrahamism, in the words of Christianity, Islam, Marxism, Postmodernism, Feminism, Libertarianism and Neoconservatism all bait us into hazard – so do Freudianism, Boasianism, Neo-marxism(“Cultural Marxism”, Political Correctness, and Human-Biodiversity-Denialism. They teach us to lie. To Deny the language of the gods, written in the hands of the gods, and our means of transcendence into gods: evolution. If you are a devil what do you seek? To prevent man’s transcendence into gods. To deny evolution: the means by which we transcend into gods ourselves. If you are a devil what language would you speak? What does our foundational myth of the blacksmith and the devil tell us? The devils bait you into hazard with false promise. False promise of life after death, false promise of freedom from the physical and natural laws and the demands of evolution that transcend man into gods. We know the name of the devil.His name was Abraham.He was from Ur.
—“Abraham is a mythological, legendary figure invented by Hebrew scribes approximately 1,500 years after his putative existence. The anachronisms in the texts are hilarious if you know what to look for. He is meant to be a founding father figure in a culture of paternal tribes in order to unify an ethnically disparate cooperative coaltion of outlaws (master thieves) expelled from Babylon, Egypt, and Canaan. Hence their hatred of all advanced civilizations (Oppression!! Racism! Descrimination! Inequality!).”—Scott De Warren

The Chinese conquered and colonized all border people. The Western Indo Europeans conquered (exterminated) and colonized all border people, and both Europe and east Asia produced homogenous eugenic, agrarian, metalsmithing societies. Either one is eugenic or dysgenic. The red queen cannot be defeated by any other means. It takes 95 to follow simple instructions, 105 to repair a machine, 115 to learn on one’s own by reading, 120 to design a machine, 130+ to synthesize and communicate ideas, 140+ to invent new ideas. Everyone below that who cannot be put into labor that does not require continuous learning and adaptation. This is social science. Everything else is religion.
European Truth vs Levantine Critique
[O]nce you grasp that Cosmopolitan (Marxist-Socialist, Postmodern, Libertine, feminist Neoconservative) Critique is an attempt at exclusionary authoritarianism – a modern restatement of the technique applied in Jewish argument and law – it becomes fairly obvious why the combination of:
(a) The desire for obscurant arguments to be true, (b) Emotional and intellectual investment in the truth of these obscurant arguments, and (c) Hostility to refutation, are so pervasive: … … 1) psychological utility obtained from intuitional moral ‘righteousness’, … … 2) group unity in that moral conviction, and; … … 3) ostracization of non-believers on the other, are precisely what ‘separatists’ require of a religion. However, this modern set of religions is pseudo-scientific and pseudo-rational rather than legal, mystical and monotheistic in verbal construction. But the verbal construction is merely a technological advancement over monotheistic mythology, and Jewish dual-ethics-law. Northern Europeans used truth, property and fighting as the binding commitment to one another, not belief. We used opportunity to join success in a hostile landscape, and they used threat of ostracization in among hostile tribes. We are all the product of our ancient geographies. The strategies of the weak and small in number, versus the strong and small in number. Both Jewish and Germanic systems of thought evolved for use by small populations. You will take notice which strategy leads to the construction of vast civilizations, technology, art, science and medicine, and what the other led to – near extermination.

Our common-law tradition and the militia built the West. We escaped the Abrahamic religion and immediately restored our ancient trajectory. The reason for degeneracy is the reintroduction of Abrahamic Religion in pseudoscientific (Marxist) and pseudo-rational (postmodernist) prose. Sorry. I have spent extraordinary effort in testing our most cherished beliefs: and Abrahamism created the dark ages. Jews did nothing. We did very little. And Muslims destroyed the four great civilizations of the ancient world – dragging them backward into inescapable ignorance. Every civilization needs literature, oaths, and festivals for the intergenerational propagation of general rules of decidability that express their group competitive strategy. No civilization needs lies, and Abrahamism in word and form is just lies.

Same Technique, Same False Promise, Same Catastrophic Consequences
How Can We End Abrahamic Deceit Forever?
Restore our requirement that all public speech, to the public, in matters public be limited to testimony. Really. That’s it. It’s quite simple. We already prohibit false speech in commerce, regarding products, services, and information. We Need only extend that demand from the MORE immediate goods, of products, services, and information, to that of the less immediate goods, services, and especially information. Especially that information that while perhaps imaginable and preferable, purports to be possible, “good” or True that is neither possible, nor good, nor true. How? Involuntary Warranty of Tests of Due Diligence 1 – Categorical consistency 2 – Logical consistency 3 – Empirical consistency 4 – Operational consistency 5 – Rational consistency (incentives of a rational actor) 6 – Moral consistency (perfect reciprocity) 7 – Scope Consistency (Limits.) 8 – Full accounting of content and consequence within those limits. While this might seem difficult to you at first blush, it is not something that courts will have difficulty with, and within a decade and certainly a generation, the body of law will evolve into common practice. And all the culture along with it. And all of mankind as a consequence. End the invention of lying.
The Truth Is Enough to Restore the West
Truth is enough. End the lies. End The Entire Abrahamic Program of Lies: False Reality, False History, False Promise (Moral Hazard), Pilpul (via positiva sophism), Critique (via negativa sophism), Straw Manning, and the Dysgenic Strategy of the Herd fearing being left behind by their betters. Ethnocentrism; Nationalism; Nature, Ancestor, and Monarchical Thanks (worship), and the inheritance that they have left us as Sovereignty, Reciprocity, Truth, Duty, Merit, The Natural Law, A Jury of our Peers, The Militia of Sovereign Men, Markets In everything, and the science and technology that has provided in the present, what Those Who Lie had promised them. No More Lies. Restore Our Natural Law, and Our Natural Religion, to our Natural Peoples. We Must Rule, if Not for The Sake of All Mankind, but Out of Self Defense.
We Know the Name of The Devil
Europeans speak in the language of the gods, written in the hand of the gods: math, science, physical law, natural law, and testimony. Abrahamism, in the words of Christianity, Islam, Marxism, Postmodernism, Feminism, Libertarianism and Neoconservatism all bait us into hazard – so do Freudianism, Boasianism, Neo-marxism(“Cultural Marxism”, Political Correctness, and Human-Biodiversity-Denialism. They teach us to lie. To Deny the language of the gods, written in the hands of the gods, and our means of transcendence into gods: evolution. If you are a devil what do you seek? To prevent man’s transcendence into gods. To deny evolution: the means by which we transcend into gods ourselves. If you are a devil what language would you speak? What does our foundational myth of the blacksmith and the devil tell us? The devils bait you into hazard with false promise. False promise of life after death, false promise of freedom from the physical and natural laws and the demands of evolution that transcend man into gods. We know the name of the devil.His name was Abraham.He was from Ur.
—“Abraham is a mythological, legendary figure invented by Hebrew scribes approximately 1,500 years after his putative existence. The anachronisms in the texts are hilarious if you know what to look for. He is meant to be a founding father figure in a culture of paternal tribes in order to unify an ethnically disparate cooperative coaltion of outlaws (master thieves) expelled from Babylon, Egypt, and Canaan. Hence their hatred of all advanced civilizations (Oppression!! Racism! Descrimination! Inequality!).”—Scott De Warren

Conflict 13: European Group Strategy
European Civilization’s Military, Aristocratic, Darwinian, Strategy
Military… as an army materialism physical natural evolutionary laws Without authority we need means of Decidabiity. Decidability is provided by limits: eugenics (evolution). Historian Victor Davis Hanson states that western superiority in all walks of life is due to the three differences.
- Individualism = Self Determination, by Self Determined Means, Reciprocity, Contract, Oath, Truth, and as a result, legal and political sovereignty. Hence the preservation of oddities like the duel, and trial by combat.
- Democratic political structures = Better Said, Markets in Every Aspect of Life. Association, Cooperation, Production, Reproduction, Commons, Dispute Resolution (court), and Polities.
- Scientific Rationalism = Metallurgical (Technological), Testimony before Jury, military reporting of the facts, unforgiving military epistemology. All of western civilization is a consequence of a military aristocracy, entrepreneurial warfare, access to the franchise in exchange for oath and fighting.
- Trifunctionalism =
- Producing Continuous Dynamic Organization and Reorganization. The west and far east can make large organizations. And why the Chinese make better totalitarian bureaucracies and Europeans make better dynamic private organizations. And pretty much everyone else failed.
- Degree of Responsibility
(d) Profit from innovation, adaptation, and productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary transfer (profit from productivity), (f) Investing assets from organizational formation in production of commons that produce incremental returns. (Profiting from Commons) (g) Moral and Ethical Markets and Trade: Slowly suppressing criminal, black market, grey market, and open market industries (Profiting from Creating Markets) (h) Expanding the information system (Profiting from CreatingOpen Knowledge) (i) Expanding the state, the law, knowledge, traditions, their culture, institutions, and norms in order to increase the size of markets (Epand Economic Cohesion). (j) Expanding the market by conquest (profiting from Conquest) The European peoples have been able to evolve genetically, culturally, economically, technologically and scientifically faster than all other peoples in the ancient and modern worlds because of our traditions: GIVEN; (a) A Minority, Aristocracy, Beset by Adversity That Together They Overcome (conquer) (b) Preservation of Competitive Advantage and Numbers (Aristocratic-Best, Egalitarianism-Openness, Market Meritocracy) (c) Payment for the cost of the commons (manners, ethics, morals, traditions, institutions, common property); (Profit from Funding Normative Commons) (e) Specializing, because of dynamic military tactics, in dynamic organization formation and adaptation and low corruption (Profiting from Military, State, Institution, Industry, business, civil, civic formation) WHERE … Self-determination, sovereignty, reciprocity, truth, duty, excellence, heroism, rule of law and jury, and markets in all aspects of life; including association, cooperation, production, reproduction, commons, information, elites, and polities WHERE … the market for suppression of parasitism we call the law, and the market for reciprocity in the production of goods, services, and information, evolve(adapt) as rapidly as possible, THEREBY … advancing productive innovations in each other’s interests, and suppression innovations in parasitism against others interests, in exchange for softly suppresses the rates of reproduction of the underclasses, THEREBY … allowing us to divert proceeds from our production to the commons, and the higher returns for all from those commons, the most important of which are truth before face, trust, artistic, scientific, technological, economic adaptive and innovative velocity, and the prosperity, joy, and peace of mind that results from it. THEREFORE Western civilization is not the first, but it is the fastest, in the prehistoric, ancient, and modern worlds, sovereignty expands human ability most rapidly for the simple reason that market rule, limited by natural law. creates both the most incentive to innovate and change, and the least resistance to innovation and change, that are possible at any given moment. HOWEVER This strategy works only as long as (a) given their small numbers they solve potential threats quickly and thoroughly, (b) the maintain a technological advantage in material, technological, social, economic, political, institutional, and military means, (c ) there is more benefit to joining the martial aristocracy than defecting to a commercial or verbal(fraud) order, (b) because the martial aristocracy profits from domestication of animal man, nature, and the universe, ( c) thereby producing sufficient numbers of the martial aristocracy (d) who also benefit from the domestication of man, nature, and the universe. Western civilization’s strategy consists of profiting from discovery of, adaptation to, application of, mastery of the physical, natural, and evolutionary laws, to continuously transform man into gods, and nature, and the universe, into heavens. In simple terms, this has meant the historical conquest and incremental domestication of others, while we race to stay ahead of our works. And it is a profitable enterprise. It’s also incompatible with universal democracy. It appears to be incompatible with republicanism. It appears only to be compatible with a constitutional monarchy, and houses for the classes limited to approval or rejection of requests for revenue (taxation). We had it about right in Great Britain and in Europe before the french revolution. We should have left it that way. And not because of some sentimental reasons, but because the combination of a monarch as a judge of last resort, a via-Positiva professional cabinet, houses that act as juries on initiatives, and the people’s standing in court to prosecute individuals and groups both private and public, it’s the optimum method of calculating policy on one hand, limiting it on the other, and squeezing the politicians, bureaucracy, and commercial sectors between the monarchy by authority and the people by the courts and vote.

The Abrahamic Dark Age
However, the Abrahamic dark ages cost mankind 1500 years of Jewish, Christian, and Muslim expansion, a billion dead, the Jewish and Christian undermining of the European world, and the Muslim destruction and reduction to ashes of every great civilization of the ancient world, and a century of bloodshed by marxism, communism, bolshevism, and now Neo-marxism, postmodernism, political correctness, and denial of human differences and needs.
What is Aristotelianism (Europeanism)?
The primacy of actions, the primacy of life (living), the primacy of achievement(excellence), the primacy of heroic achievement under adversity (adversarialism), the primacy of man (over nature, gods), the primacy of the transcendence of man into godhood, the primacy of reality, and realism(material persistence), of naturalism (universe consists of natural material, understandable causes), of materialism (mind is just matter-in-motion), and operationalism (we test our thoughts by our actions), and of human beings, and their responsibility for their actions. This strategy gave Europeans a particular ‘sensibility’ which is correspondence with reality, and sensitivity to physical, natural, and evolutionary laws, and the subsequent discovery, adaptation to, and application of, physical laws, natural laws of cooperation, and evolutionary laws of transcendence and eugenics and to prevent regression to the mean: together, the civilizational production of human agency over the universe by the incremental domestication of man, nature, and reality: to leave the world better for having lived in it. We call it Aristotelianism, or Science, or Empiricism, or Testimony, Prosecution, and Defense before the court, or the long tradition of military epistemology contained in the simple act of military ‘reporting’ – just the facts. The most intolerant epistemology known to man: warfare – wherein the highest correspondence with reality and the total exhaustion of unknowns, produces the greatest chance of survival under the highest risk. And only a universal militia – a voluntary army of every single man woman and child, dependent upon technology, strategy (contract), holding (duty,), maneuver (adaptation), seizing initiative (innovation), and just distribution of returns, would develop that exhaustive military, technical, procedural, sensibility, and drive it down throughout the entire population, creating the extraordinary trust between warriors as the normative trust in the polity, thus preparing the people for commons, and preparing the population for commerce and trade, their fitness for service in the thang, jury and senate, and their continuous adaptation to every opportunity presented in the world. This technique of holding court on all events, claims, theories and ‘prosecuting every assumption, every unknown, regardless of cost or outcome’ is the strange, costly sensibility of western civilization. And our sensibility is to choose the most costly, to question every presumption, to falsify every dependency, and to ask the last question, is in itself the continuous court of prosecution of the human mind, emotion, instinct, perception, and sense. The result is the continuous progress toward an understanding of, control of, and improvement of, ourselves, nature, and the universe in a single, universally commensurable language we call the sciences. Testimony consists of speech that will survive the court of the imagination, knowledge, memory, mind, emotion, perception, sense; survive the court of realism, naturalism, and operationalism; survive the court of reciprocity, sovereignty, self-determination, self-determined means; and demand for warranty or punishment for perjury. Please see my complete test of truth here: https://propertarianinstitute.com/2019/02/23/on-truth-complete-core/ Western civilization makes use of “Testimony”. Limiting one’s display word and deed to non-interference in Self Determination, by Self-Determined means, by mutual insurance of Sovereignty, Reciprocity, and Testimony by the Testifiable, and Warrantable, and Liable. This is the most expensive intolerant limit on human behavior we have developed yet it promotes experimentation and licenses anything that maintains others’ self-determination by self-determined means, and sovereignty. So the scientific method, like that method of prosecution in court, is merely whatever is necessary to limit one’s speech to the facts that are warrantable, and within the limits of liability – meaning restitutability – and licensing punishment of you for violation of those limits. GIVEN;
- The Universal Army and Military Society where all are warriors first, craftsmen(industry) second, family third.
- The Gain of Self Determination, by Self Determined means, for service in that military (society)
- The Necessity of Sovereignty, Reciprocity, and Markets in Everything that result from universal self-determination.
- The Deep Requirement for all to Do One’s Duty in defense of the Commons (responsible for everything).
- The Demand for “Reporting”, Thang, Jury, Court “Testimony”, and Testimony in all walks of life under Reciprocity.
- The Costly Commons of Reciprocity in display, word (testimony), and deed.
- The Oath to “Neither Lie, Cheat, Steal, or show Cowardice in Battle”
WHERE TESTIMONIAL SPEECH IS CONSISTS OF:
- Complete Sentences
- In promissory form
- In testimonial form
- In operational vocabulary (as actions)
- absent the verb to-be (is, are, was, were…)
- including all changes in state
- including all consequences of change in state

In the Context Of The Ternary Logic of Cooperation, Violence is Never Off The Table
As conscious beings possessed of different degrees of agency, we consciously grasp, or unconsciously presume, five questions upon which all others depend:
- The first question is: “Why not commit suicide?” This choice is that of Personal philosophy.
- The second question is: “Why engage in cooperation rather than free-riding, parasitism, and predation?” This question is that of Ethics.
- The third question – and one that a group must answer – is: “Why engage in cooperation with others, rather than free-riding, parasitism, and predation?” This question is that of Politics.
- The Fourth Question a group must answer is: “How shall we organize our people with myths, arguments, and rules to survive and prosper in competition from nature and man?” That the question of Group Evolutionary Strategy,
- The Fifth Question a group must answer is “What are the limits of tolerance for life, for ethics, for politics, and for group evolutionary strategy, before we resort to suicide, separation, free riding, parasitism, predation, and the condition of victimhood?” That is the Question of Limits.
The answer to all five questions is that persistence of the opportunities of existence, of the returns on cooperation, and of the returns on the production of commons, are preferable to suicide, separation, free-riding, parasitism, predation, and the condition of victimhood. Conversely, resistance, violence, feud, insurrection, revolution, civil war, warfare, and genocide are preferable to submission to undermining of cooperation, hindering of cooperation, parasitism, and predation.
The Strength and Weakness of Gentlemanly Argument With The Enemy
We are indoctrinated into the colloquial yet often undefinable use of truth, but not that we must meet tests of sufficient infallibility to claim we speak truthfully. We have vast numbers of people, and perhaps the vast majority of women, that, by stating ‘true for me’, cannot distinguish between useful, preferable, and excusable, versus true regardless of utility or whether we prefer it, and whether a statement is warrantable. We have just as many people, and the majority of women, who We are confused by the difference between honesty, truthfulness (due diligence), ideal truth, and tautological truth. We are taught the logic of inference where statements are either true or false. But statements in and of themselves are undecidable, possibly true, or certainly false. Likewise, we are indoctrinated into the norm of cooperating or not cooperating. But our choice is cooperating, not cooperating, or conflict. The problems with our presumption in the victorian debate, when we should be using prosecution. The premise of always bearing arms, lost to us. If the opposition will not engage in truthful reciprocal negotiation on an exchange that achieves mutually beneficial ends, then the only solution to the conflict is violence. And the western man has lost his will to use aggressive, thorough, and relentless violence against parasitism, undermining, and instigation of discontent by false promise.
The Necessity of Violence: “Every Man a, a soldier, a sheriff, a shareholder.”
Violence is never off the table. It is licensed the moment we encounter every violation of reciprocity. The reason we tolerate it from our females is in our division of labor, they bear the primary cost of reproduction, child-rearing, and community care, and in exchange, they generate demand without generating solutions, and they generate demand. This is not rational, but pre-civilizational and intuitive (instinctual). But we are easily made victims of suggestion by the enemy when the enemy uses the same technique as our women.
Caretaking vs Parasitism vs Undermining
( … The difference between Christian-Liberal care and Jewish-Marxist-Pomo undermining. … ) The War Against European Sense, Civilization, and People It is the incremental undermining of Testimony, Reciprocity, Sovereignty, Self Determination, by Self Determined means, from all walks of life by saturating the environment with incentives to circumvent it, that has brought us to the brink of a new dark age of ignorance, superstition, pseudoscience, sophistry and in particular, the myth that western man oppressed rather than evolved mankind – kicking and screaming against its will – because the high cost of western sense-making, and its application, is more than less developed people can bear.

And only a universal militia – a voluntary army of every single man woman and child, dependent upon technology, strategy (contract), holding (duty,), maneuver (adaptation), seizing initiative (innovation), and just distribution of returns, would develop that exhaustive military, technical, procedural, sensibility, and drive it down throughout the entire population, creating the extraordinary trust between warriors as the normative trust in the polity, thus preparing the people for commons, and preparing the population for commerce and trade, their fitness for service in the thang, jury and senate, and their continuous adaptation to every opportunity presented in the world. This technique of holding court on all events, claims, theories and ‘prosecuting every assumption, every unknown, regardless of cost or outcome’ is the strange, costly sensibility of western civilization. And our sensibility is to choose the most costly, to question every presumption, to falsify every dependency, and to ask the last question, is in itself the continuous court of prosecution of the human mind, emotion, instinct, perception, and sense. The result is the continuous progress toward an understanding of, control of, and improvement of, ourselves, nature, and the universe in a single, universally commensurable language we call the sciences. Testimony consists of speech that will survive the court of the imagination, knowledge, memory, mind, emotion, perception, sense; survive the court of realism, naturalism, and operationalism; survive the court of reciprocity, sovereignty, self-determination, self-determined means; and demand for warranty or punishment for perjury. Please see my complete test of truth here: https://propertarianinstitute.com/2019/02/23/on-truth-complete-core/ Western civilization makes use of “Testimony”. Limiting one’s display word and deed to non-interference in Self Determination, by Self-Determined means, by mutual insurance of Sovereignty, Reciprocity, and Testimony by the Testifiable, and Warrantable, and Liable. This is the most expensive intolerant limit on human behavior we have developed yet it promotes experimentation and licenses anything that maintains others’ self-determination by self-determined means, and sovereignty. So the scientific method, like that method of prosecution in court, is merely whatever is necessary to limit one’s speech to the facts that are warrantable, and within the limits of liability – meaning restitutability – and licensing punishment of you for violation of those limits.

In the Context Of The Ternary Logic of Cooperation, Violence is Never Off The Table
As conscious beings possessed of different degrees of agency, we consciously grasp, or unconsciously presume, five questions upon which all others depend:
- The first question is: “Why not commit suicide?” This choice is that of Personal philosophy.
- The second question is: “Why engage in cooperation rather than free-riding, parasitism, and predation?” This question is that of Ethics.
- The third question – and one that a group must answer – is: “Why engage in cooperation with others, rather than free-riding, parasitism, and predation?” This question is that of Politics.
- The Fourth Question a group must answer is: “How shall we organize our people with myths, arguments, and rules to survive and prosper in competition from nature and man?” That the question of Group Evolutionary Strategy,
- The Fifth Question a group must answer is “What are the limits of tolerance for life, for ethics, for politics, and for group evolutionary strategy, before we resort to suicide, separation, free riding, parasitism, predation, and the condition of victimhood?” That is the Question of Limits.
The answer to all five questions is that persistence of the opportunities of existence, of the returns on cooperation, and of the returns on the production of commons, are preferable to suicide, separation, free-riding, parasitism, predation, and the condition of victimhood. Conversely, resistance, violence, feud, insurrection, revolution, civil war, warfare, and genocide are preferable to submission to undermining of cooperation, hindering of cooperation, parasitism, and predation.
The Strength and Weakness of Gentlemanly Argument With The Enemy
We are indoctrinated into the colloquial yet often undefinable use of truth, but not that we must meet tests of sufficient infallibility to claim we speak truthfully. We have vast numbers of people, and perhaps the vast majority of women, that, by stating ‘true for me’, cannot distinguish between useful, preferable, and excusable, versus true regardless of utility or whether we prefer it, and whether a statement is warrantable. We have just as many people, and the majority of women, who We are confused by the difference between honesty, truthfulness (due diligence), ideal truth, and tautological truth. We are taught the logic of inference where statements are either true or false. But statements in and of themselves are undecidable, possibly true, or certainly false. Likewise, we are indoctrinated into the norm of cooperating or not cooperating. But our choice is cooperating, not cooperating, or conflict. The problems with our presumption in the victorian debate, when we should be using prosecution. The premise of always bearing arms, lost to us. If the opposition will not engage in truthful reciprocal negotiation on an exchange that achieves mutually beneficial ends, then the only solution to the conflict is violence. And the western man has lost his will to use aggressive, thorough, and relentless violence against parasitism, undermining, and instigation of discontent by false promise.
The Necessity of Violence: “Every Man a, a soldier, a sheriff, a shareholder.”
Violence is never off the table. It is licensed the moment we encounter every violation of reciprocity. The reason we tolerate it from our females is in our division of labor, they bear the primary cost of reproduction, child-rearing, and community care, and in exchange, they generate demand without generating solutions, and they generate demand. This is not rational, but pre-civilizational and intuitive (instinctual). But we are easily made victims of suggestion by the enemy when the enemy uses the same technique as our women.
Caretaking vs Parasitism vs Undermining
( … The difference between Christian-Liberal care and Jewish-Marxist-Pomo undermining. … ) The War Against European Sense, Civilization, and People It is the incremental undermining of Testimony, Reciprocity, Sovereignty, Self Determination, by Self Determined means, from all walks of life by saturating the environment with incentives to circumvent it, that has brought us to the brink of a new dark age of ignorance, superstition, pseudoscience, sophistry and in particular, the myth that western man oppressed rather than evolved mankind – kicking and screaming against its will – because the high cost of western sense-making, and its application, is more than less developed people can bear.

Conflict 12: Civilizational Strategies
All Civilizations Evolved a Group Strategy And Means of Persisting It
All civilizations evolved the following necessary information systems:
(a) a Group evolutionary (competitive) strategy, (b) a Mythology to explain, justify, and lionize it in Emotions, (c) Wisdom literature to communicate it in Stories, (d) a System of Argument to persuade and defend it in Reason, and; (e) a set of Institutions to persist it across generations with limited modification.
|Civilizational Strategy|: Group Strategy > Mythology > ... Wisdom Literature > ... ... System of Argument > Institutions.
(Note: We use “Wisdom Literature” in the more general sense above, rather than the narrower sense of a collection the sayings of sages developed as oral tradition but eventually written down.)
The Geographic Origin of Group Strategies
- 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).
- 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 because it’s very low cost
- STEPPELANDS: Russian(0rthodox) 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.
- BORDERLANDS: Cosmopolitanerish) 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.
- FORESTLANDS: Family, Clan Farms, Villages. Transportation expensive. Forests are dark and scary places full of brigands. 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. (Profiting from the domestication of man)
- RIVERLANDS: Riverlands strategy defends against Steppland and Desertland strategies. (Profiting from the domestication of man) Chinese Ethics: What can I get away with now, but over time make it 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.
- FERTILE RIVER LAND: (Profit from the subjugation of man) (Cyrus was lost). Bias to Empire.
- COASTAL-ISLAND LANDS – Athens, Scandinavia Bias to Trade
- ISLAND LANDS – Cyprus, Crete, BRITAIN, Naval bias to Trade.
- DIASPORIC PEOPLE – Gypsies, Travellers, Jews
Rock Paper Scissors: Elites and the Three Methods of Coercion
There are three formal means of coercing groups of people with institutions. And we can use these three Archetypes to imagine the extremes:
GHENGIS KHAN -- THOMAS JEFFERSON -- MOTHER THERESA VIOLENCE...........EXCHANGE............SUBSIDY RIGHT...............CENTER..............LEFT FATHER...............SON.............SISTER/MOTHER
The three means of coercion are as follows:
1) FORCE, or the threat of force A person has a VIOLENCE INCENTIVE to behave in a particular way when it has been made known to him that failure to do so will result in some form of physical aggression being directed at him by other members of the collectivity in the form of inflicting pain or physical harm on him or his loved ones, depriving him of his freedom of movement, or perhaps confiscating or destroying his treasured possessions.
The Physical: Body and Movement Using Force or Violence The fear of harm or promise of defense. By the Dominant or Established Male
Force: Tool: Physical Coercion Benefit: Avoidance Benefit Strategic use: Rapid but expensive. “Seize opportunities quickly with a concentrated effort.”
Limits: Via-Negativa: Procedural Power: Political, Judicial, and Military Power (Soldiers, Judges, and Politicians)
STATE(ORDER): Formal Limits. Violence(Harm) < -vs- > Defense (Protection) : Defense, Taxation, Keeping the Peace
2) REMUNERATION or payment A person has a REMUNERATIVE INCENTIVE to behave in a particular way if it has been made known to him that doing so will result in some form of material reward he will not otherwise receive. If he behaves as desired, he will receive some specified amount of a valuable good or service (or money with which he can purchase whatever he wishes) in exchange.
The Material: Resources and Opportunity Using Bribe or Trade The fear of loss of gains, or promise of gains By the Brother, Ally, or Ascendant Male
Exchange: Remunerative Coercion With Material Benefit – Strategic use: efficient in cost and time, only if you have the resources.
Possibilities: Via-Practica: Economic Power (people with wealth either earned or gained through tax appropriation).
TRADE(LAW-COMMERCE): Formal Cooperation: Boycott (Deprivation) < -vs- > Trade (Gain) : Reciprocity, Property : Boycott: Markets Laws.
3) MORAL Claims (collective goods) A person has a MORAL INCENTIVE to behave in a particular way when he has been taught to believe that it is the “right” or “proper” or “admirable” thing to do. If he behaves as others expect him to, he may expect the approval or even the admiration of the other members of the collectivity and enjoy an enhanced sense of acceptance or self-esteem. If he behaves improperly, he may expect verbal expressions of condemnation, scorn, ridicule or even ostracism from the collectivity, and he may experience unpleasant feelings of guilt, shame or self-condemnation.
The Social: Cooperation and Insurance Using Undermining or Advocacy The fear of ostracization or promise of inclusion By the female and especially dominant female
Words: Tool: Verbal, Moral Coercion Benefit: Ostracization/Inclusion, and Insurance benefit Strategic Use: slow, but inexpensive. “Wait for opportunity by accumulating consensus.”
Wants: Via-Positiva: Populist Power (Religion, Entertainment, Public Intellectuals)
RELIGION(SOCIETY): Formal Indoctrination Ostracization (Risk-Death) <–vs–> Inclusion (Safety-Life) : Conformity Obedience : Gossip, Undermining. And In addition, non-coercive informal institutions:
4) The Informal Organic Norms
THE PEOPLE: Organic Norms and Traditions: Pragmatic Habits
Degrees Of Coercion
We can scale each of the three-axis of coercion by degree of coercion:
1) INFLUENCE – informing others in their interests … 2) COERCION – coercing others to follow your interests … … 3) POWER – organized coercion of others for your or collective interests
|Coercion|: Neutral > Influence > Coercion > Power And Scale each axis by dree of certainty:
|Certainty|:Undecidability > Possibility > Potential > Probabilitye > Likelihood > Certainty
Combinations of Methods of Coercion: “Chords” of Coercion
Influence, coercion and power can consist of one or more of these method, often in great complexity. Groups tend to give priority to one or more different weighted combinations, or perhaps ‘chordic’ representations of these strategies. They do so out of habit, and class inclination, just as they follow religious and class sentiments due to their upbringing. People who belong to institutions have different capacities for adopting these strategies. Force requires discipline and long Time Bias. Remuneration requires cunning and invention. Moral claims require loyalty to consensus, and absorption of, and therefore payment of, opportunity costs. Different social classes have different time biases and consist of people with different time preferences, requiring different types of discipline under different social and economic conditions. ie: it is easier to have a long time preference if one is genetically disposed to better impulse control, and lives in greater security. It is easier to have a short time preference if one is more persuaded by impulses, less disciplined, and in an environment of scarcity. There are different costs to these institutions: Force is extremely expensive. Creating non-corruption, and order (some network of property definitions and their means of transfer). Property is a term for a scarce good that must used, consumed or transformed in the process of production, even if that process is human sustenance. Remunerative institutions require the complex task of concentrating capital then maintaining it in a constantly changing kaleidic and competitive environment. Moral claims require constant advocacy, verbal skill, maintenance of numerous relationships, and constant payment of opportunity costs. The social classes are organized by intelligence expressed by empathy or dominance. Intelligence is the ability to absorb content in real-time, to learn abstractions in time, and to permute those abstractions in application to problems in real-time. Intelligence regresses toward the mean over generations. Therefore class membership is an indicator of the likelihood of class mobility, and upper-class position is difficult to maintain. While we use the word ‘middle class’, and most people in the west live middle-class lifestyles, the middle class means possessing disposable income and participating in the market. Therefore the majority of citizens are in the upper proletariat and lower-middle classes, which we call the working, white-collar working and craftsman classes. The Social classes have different access to each of these forms of coercion. Those in the institutional class, or upper class, have access to force in the form of policy and law. Those in the capitalist class, or middle, have access to capital: money, and market institutions. In each strategy peoples form elites, and organizations for utilizing those strategies. The elites create philosophical frameworks. Each of these frameworks consists of moral claims, and institutional means of perpetuating those claims, and the social benefits of adopting those claims. Each of these institutions is open to corruption, which is the privatization of opportunity and reward, for personal consumption at group expense. Corruption is fraud. Each of these strategies, their organizations, institutions, and elites compete against other strategies, organizations, and elites, and each attempts to use its organization for discounts against other organizations. This competition is analogous to the game of Rock, Paper, Scissors, if more complicated: each group can successfully compete against one another under most circumstances, but can defeat and be defeated by some other combination of forces. At its base, there are only three tools of social organization. These three forms can be combined, as they are in the majority of the population in some manner or another. Or they can be used as one of three specializations, each of which attempts to play rock, paper, scissors, with the other two.
The Relation Between Elites and Classes
( … )
The Three Orders: Kin, State, and Cult
We make use of Authority and State, Law and Trade, and Education and Religion, but we choose a dominant bias with which to employ them in our social orders, yielding:
(1) Kin and Law and Nation and Federation – Create Self Determination (2) State and Corporatism, and Empire – Limit Self Determination (3) Cult and Religion, and Globalism – Eradicate Self Determination … depending upon homogeneity or heterogeneity of the population; to overcome resistance to the creation and preservation of commons – so that why is it that one bias in the order is always better off than the others?
The Order of Development of The Three Institutions
Religion(Theology) -> State > Law ==> (Middle east) Religion(Mythology) -> Law -> State ==> (India)
Law > Religion > State ==> (no one) Law > State > Religion(Philosophy) ==> (Europe)
State -> Law -> Religion ==> (China) State-> Religion(Confucian) -> Law ==> (China – Failed Law) Political power originates in the ability of humans to organize by individual influence, group coercion, and institutional power. It just so happens that we use gossip to rally and shame and ostracize people from production and opportunity for consumption. Religion. But then we scale. It just so happens that you need to use violence to suppress parasitism sufficiently for a market to form, at that scale: State But then we scale further. And then to use law to suppress cheating, fraud, and to impose performance, and restitution, and if necessary, punishment: Law. But then we scale further. And then we use wealth created by the application of violence and law and to force market participation rather than parasitism, to pay off those who cannot be forced. And then, we hit the novel inflection point, and scale further: And so we then use force, law and gossip to suppress the suppressors, and rely entirely upon rule of law, without a group that exercises power. So the sooner one develops rule of law, the sooner one starts suppressing the parasitism of the monopoly.
Tools of Rule
REPUTATION (Tribe, Band, Village) Individuals in small groups develop reputations and their survival depends on those reputations.We evolved for reputation. In fact. our consience serves to attempt to limit the damage we can do to our reputation. Because status (reputation) is the most infulential asset we have in survival after our health and natural ability. The reason is simple: the returns on coperation are not replacable by individual achievement. Weapon: Ostracization (death sentence) Records: Memory of Locals RELIGION (Polity) Religion evolved to provide an understanding of the word, virtues to imitate, and general prohibitions, across clans, tribes, and conquered nations, so that people could cooperate more easily and retaliate (feud) less frequently. Weapon: ostracization (deprivation from opportunity) Records: the memory of locals, religious registries and ceremonies. LAW Law evolved to standardize punishments across clans, tribes, and conquered nations, to keep the peace, preserve productivity, preserve taxation, and legitimize (provide value by) rule. Weapon: violence, deprivation Records: written ledgers of crimes and punishments. CREDIT Credit rule evolved to increase productivity by the promise of consumption in the present, such that the primary form of social punishment was loss of consumption, status, and signaling. Weapon: deprivation of consumption, status, and signaling. Records: written and electronic records of creditworthiness. DIGITAL REPUTATION Social media is creating a digital reputation but so isall online activity. Weapon: deprivation of opportunity, consumption, status, and signaling. Records: Electronic Records of behavior in all walks of life DIGITAL PRIOR RESTRAINT State surveillance of all behavior private and public. Weapon: Deprivation of choice to behave according to ‘rules’. Records: Surveillance. Predicted behavior from records in all walks of life.
The Result is the Ternary Logic of Political Science
There are three states of logic, in order:
1. False 2. Truth candidate (actionable) 3. Undecidable (In-actionable) There are three options to cooperation
1. avoidance – to separation (ostracization) 2. exchange – to integration(cooperation) 3. parasitism– to predation (conflict) There are three means of coercion
1. Remuneration (deprivation of trade, or benefit from trade) Middle class – Libertarian Meritocratic 2. Force (imposition of harm, defense from harm) Upper class – Conservative Eugenic 3. Undermining (ostracizing/inhibiting opportunity, including/generating opportunity) Under Class – Progressive Dysgenic So We Can Organize by Three Methods
- Kin – Law (Law, Economic)
- State – Force (Military, Political)
- Cult – Ostracizaton (Mythology, Social)
So We Can Rule by three axis of decidability
1. Reason and Command (China India) – Requires Justification 2. Empiricism(science) and Law (Europe) – Requires Truth 3. Sophistry and Propaganda (Semitia) – Requires Sophistry We can govern by three axis:
… … Military Elite (Unaccountable) 1. Bureaucracy (china) – Upper Class – Authority … … Financial Elite (Unaccountable) 2. Markets, Law, Courts, (Europe) – Middle Class – Republic … … Academic Elite (unaccountable) 3. Priesthood (Semitia) – Underclass – Theocracy – Byzantium, Islam Producing three axis of elites
1. Military, Militia, (external)
2. Juridical Police, Sheriff (internal) 3. Priests, Politicians, Public Intellectuals (familial, social) and of late minor elites 4. Economic: Entrepreneurial, Financial, Treasury
5. Scientific, Technical, Proucing Three Consequences
1. Administration and Stagnation (strong:china, weak:india) 2. Production and Evolution (Europe) 3. Parasitism and Degeneration (semitia, gypsies)
A Quick Note on Serialization
And I hope you see the pattern we call Serialization that we use to produce Types:
- Development: Sensory, Motor, Social, Rational, Skills
- Aging: Youth (to 16), Ascendant Adult (to 35), Established Adult to death
- Memory Adaptation: Right Now, Three Seconds, Three weeks, Three Months, Three years,
- Mindfulness: personal, interpersonal, social, political, existential
- Thought: Consiousness, Daydreaming, thinking, reasoning, ratioanalising (rationalism), calculating computing.

Or scalar both directions:
- Moral: Evil, Immoral, Unethical, Bad <- Amoral -> Good, Ethical, Moral, Virtuous.
- Extremes of Brain Structure: Female: Psychotic Solipsistic Sensitive Empathic <- Balanced -> Rational, Analytic, Aspie, Autistic :Male
Or as we have seen above scalar in three directions:
- 1 – Force: Coercion by Defense or Threat
- … … … … … … … … 2 – Remuneration: Coercion by Bribery or Deprivation
- 3 – Undermining: Coercion by Inclusion or Ostracization
Or say, the four dimensions of the Nolan chart of political biases:
……………………………………………1 – Libertarian (Individual)……………………………….. 3 – Socialist (Consumptive) ———–|——— 4 – Aristocracy (Conservative) …………………………………………2 – Authoritarian (Collective)………………………………… And we use all various combinations of these lists, spectra, hierarchies and graphs. Why? Because when we create these definitions we convert rules of thumb to systems of measurement. And on the one hand, by providing the context for any term, it turns out to be the best way to educate people because the world they learn about “fits together”. And on the other hand, it nearly eliminates the ability of ignorant, biased, or deceptive people to engage in the many techiques of conflation, so that they can perpetuate an error, advance a bias, or lie. So by using terms defined in a context of other terms, we disambiguate those terms and increase the precision of the speaker to use due dilligenc in speech, and the ability of the audience to insure they’re undersattnding and not being subject to a falsehood. The ranking assuming we eradicate the Semitic dark ages: Europe, China, India, Iran-Assyria-Babylon, Egypt Mesoamerica, Semitia (Jewish Muslim), S-Pacific, E africa, W africa Africa, S Africa, Austronesia The only hard choice being Iran vs India and that choice possible only because the Persians were not able to shake off Islam and reassert Persian civilization despite efforts just as the Germans can’t sake of Christianity despite their efforts and reassert germanic civilization.

The Demand for Group Strategy (coherence, choice, calculation, coordination)
The Demand for Mindfulness is Demand for Education
The Neural Economy The Neural Economy, Uncertainty, and Worry (neuroticism) The Demand for “Meaning”The Demand For Agency (Will to Power, or control, or survival)The Demand for Mindfulness I mean the physical, cognitive and emotional discipline to control the subject of attention on the present intent, insulated from distractions whether personal, environmental, or interpersonal.
—“People are not evolved for producing statements of secular epistemic purity but rather for survival through cooperation through language. “—
Decidability and mindfulness are market goods. We require these goods to compensate for a complex unpredictable (kaleidic) world. Traits Agreeableness, Extraversion, and Neuroticism
- Personal: The market demand for personal mindfulness (Spiritualism) whether empathic-feminine (theological), moral-masculine(rational), or analytic-masculine(scientific) exists, and all three demands exist for most of us.
- Interpersonal: The Market Demand for interpersonal mindfulness by creating a standard dialog, set of signals, and manners that are costly to learn and practice, but that by practicing display to others you are worthy of honest cooperation on the same terms.
- Social: The market demand for social mindfulness (limitation of fear and comfort in the ethical, and moral. These are moral rules that serve the group’s competitive strategy – and all reflect the environmental challenges of the age of transformation in which men invented religions.,
- Political: The market demand for political mindfulness (limits on political action and on rulers actions). I won’t cover each of them here.
- Strategic: The Market Demand for a group strategy – gypsy parasitism, Jewish parasitism, Muslim parasitism, predation and conquest, Christian undermining of the truth, knowledge, reason, law, property, aristocracy by rallying the peasantry and women and slaves against all and being as expansionary as islam – to counter islam. Buddhist submission and obedience Hindu class duty and function in the ‘harmony’. Chinese hierarchical family (bureaucracy). Anglo aristocratic egalitarianism (entrepreneurship and corporation).
+2 – Dominance (Real, Techne-Science, Materialism, Action) Statism Nationalism (Tribalism) Achieves mindfulness because of participation in state Soldiery Achieves mindfulness through military fraternity Agency Achieves Mindfulness because of achievement or success
+ 1 – Utility( Idealism, Philosophy, Reason, Choice, Mind) Aristotelian-Anglo Philosophy Continental and Platonic European Philosophy Confucian–Daoist Philosophy
0 – Insulation (Accommodation, Ritualization, Thought, Intuition ) Stoicism achieves mindfulness through small daily task completion in a virtuous manner. Shinto achieves mindfulness through the precise repetition of ritual in a respectful manner. Buddhism achieves mindfulness through meditation and escape from reality.
-1 – Submission (Supernatural, Theology, Empathy, Feeling) Christianity achieves mindfulness by personal and collective prayer (and song). Islam achieves mindfulness by many memorizations and ritual prayers during every single day. Judaism achieves mindfulness by separatism and deep indoctrination
The question is, given how the various religions solved mindfulness (Stoicism-epicureanism, buddhism, hinduism, abrahamism) which produces agency (stoicism), which produces optimism (hinduism), which produces withdrawal from reality (buddhism) and which denies and escapes reality (abrahamism).

(Chinese eternity), monarchical lifetimes, (democratic tomorrows), theological stagnation Jewish (Undermined England, Germany, France, Ukraine, and Russia) The Jewish religion was the first to require literacy. While philosophy required literacy, religion came to literacy late and last. Literacy both prohibited a bottom class, and gave access to higher-paying administrative jobs. By the second century, nearly all jews had given up farming – or given up on the religion. The resulting diaspora, selection for ingroup bias, the exit of failures, upward redistribution of reproduction to Rabbis, and frequent retaliatory prosecutions and bottlenecks produced expected results.

Methods of Argument
- Expressive (emotional): a type of argument where a person expresses a positive or negative opinion based upon his emotional response to the subject.
- Sentimental (biological): a type of argument that relies upon one of the five (or six) human sentiments, and their artifacts as captured in human traditions, morals, or other unarticulated, but nevertheless consistently and universally demonstrated preferences and behaviors.
- Moral (normative) : a type of argument that relies upon a set of assumedly normative rules of whose origin is either (a)socially contractual, (b)biologically natural, (c) economically necessary, or even (d)divine. (Also: RELIGIOUS)
- Reasonable (informal)
- Rational (logical and formal) – Most philosophical arguments rely upon contradiction and internal consistency rather than external correspondence.
- Analogical (HISTORICAL) A spectrum of analogical arguments – from Historical to Anecdotal — that rely upon a relationship between a historical sequence of events, and a present sequence events, in order to suggest that the current events will come to the same conclusion as did the past events, or can be used to invalidate or validate assumptions about the current period.
- Scientific (directly empirical): The use of a set of measurements that produce data that can be used to prove or disprove an hypothesis, but which are subject to human cognitive biases and preferences. ie: ‘Bottom up analysis”
- Economic: (indirectly empirical): The use of a set of measures consisting of uncontrolled variables, for the purpose of circumventing the problems of direct human inquiry into human preferences, by the process of capturing demonstrated preferences, as expressed by human exchanges, usually in the form of money. ie: “Top Down Analysis”. The weakness of economic arguments is caused by the elimination of properties and causes that are necessary for the process of aggregation.
- Ratio-Empirical (Comprehensive: Using all above): A rationally articulated argument that makes use of economic, scientific, historical, normative and sentimental information to comprehensively prove that a position is defensible under all objections. NOTE: See “Styles of Argument” below.
- Testimonial: (OPERATIONAL) categorically consistent, Internally consistent (logical), Externally Correspondent (Instrumentally observable), Operationally articulated (Possible), Fully Accounted, Moral (free of imposed costs).

Grammars of Civilizations Tell Us Their Strategies
1 – Aristotle Wrote Proto Empiricism: Reason, Naturalism, Proto-empiricism, Law, Calculation. (TRUTH, What is.), So the greeks and romans crossed from tradition into philosophy and then empiricism (science). Truth Regardless of Cost. 2 – Lao Tzu, Sun Tzu, and Confucius, all 6th-5th C BC wrote Philosophical WISDOM LIT. Lao Tzu crossed the line into the questionable. (WISDOM, What should be) Note that Buddhism was developed in India in the 5th Century BC, but did not succeed there. 3 – The Persians wrote supernormal and supernatural wisdom literature. Zoroastrianism 6th C BC. (UTOPIAN UNIVERSALISM) They did not make the full leap from religion to philosophy. 4 – The Indians wrote both mythology and wisdom literature, bordering on political science, from 1500 to 500 bc, then developed gods through 500AD, and continued to evolve through contributions of ‘saints’ through 1500AD despite Islamic conquest and interference. (WISDOM, RITUAL, PRAYER, What should be) in the broadest sense, 5 – The Egyptians wrote no systemic text for their natural religion (mythology, animism, polytheism, They practiced traditional trade: RITUAL AND SACRIFICE Supernatural (Animism, Anthropomorphism, heathenism ) Doctrine and Ritual. 6 – The Semitic Abrahamists , from 6th c BC, to 6th c AD, evolved traditional Semitic polytheistic religion into monolatry, then monotheism, then branched into Christianity, rabbinical Judaism, and islam (an others). (wrote Mythology, Resistance, Rebellion, Separatism, and Lie and Destruction of all of the above. (COMMAND, UTOPIAN LIE) They conflated theology, philosophy, and law into authoritarian religion.
The Axial Age (Civilization Formation) Anchored Us All
—“Axial Age (also Axis Age, from German: Achsenzeit) is a term coined by German philosopher Karl Jaspers in the sense of a “pivotal age”, characterizing the period of ancient history from about the 8th to the 3rd century BCE. During this period, according to Jaspers’ concept, new ways of thinking appeared in Persia, India, China and the Greco-Roman world in religion and philosophy, in a striking parallel development, without any obvious direct cultural contact between all of the participating Eurasian cultures.”— Wiki
[I]t’s just a fact that the ‘wisdom literature’ of each civilization (a) relies upon the grammar, (b) relies upon the argumentative methodology of the law, (c) relies upon the mythos. It’s inescapable. There is a reason Jews appropriated Babylonian history, and integrated Greek idealism to create Pilpul (justificationism in theology that relies upon the same techniques as justification in astrology and numerology) … and predictably enough, the same argument you are making (critique – the via-negativa of pilpul’s via-positiva). There is a reason the Jews appropriated European sciences to create the pseudosciences of Freudianism, boazianism, marxism, neo-marxism, feminism, and HBD-denialism, and European rationalism to create postmodernism, and European math to create with the outliers being Keynes and Foucault – both homosexuals. Just as there is a reason Confucius couldn’t solve the problem of politics and the Chinese speak in contrasts (riddles). Just as there is a reason westerners speak in law, evidence, and testimony. The ‘Axial Age’ anchored us all.

And the bolsheviks and the soviets were the only time the jews gained access to power to implement their culture at scale. Most of our history consists of trying to contain authoritarian, non-market, anti-rational, anti-scientific and much larger populations to self-determination, markets, reason, and science. Despite the women and underclasses within, and the hordes without. And the simple reason is that we, the Japanese-Koreans, alone can trust one another, because of our defeat of tribalism, because of our homogeneity, and because of our empirical monarchies. The three outliers today are (a) the gypsies that practice organized petty crimes, (b) the jews that practice organized social and political crimes of undermining, ( c) the Muslims that practice organized cromes of psychological undermining. With the rest of the world practicing traditional warfare.

Conflict 12: Civilizational Strategies
All Civilizations Evolved a Group Strategy And Means of Persisting It
All civilizations evolved the following necessary information systems:
(a) a Group evolutionary (competitive) strategy, (b) a Mythology to explain, justify, and lionize it in Emotions, (c) Wisdom literature to communicate it in Stories, (d) a System of Argument to persuade and defend it in Reason, and; (e) a set of Institutions to persist it across generations with limited modification.
|Civilizational Strategy|: Group Strategy > Mythology > ... Wisdom Literature > ... ... System of Argument > Institutions.
(Note: We use “Wisdom Literature” in the more general sense above, rather than the narrower sense of a collection the sayings of sages developed as oral tradition but eventually written down.)
The Geographic Origin of Group Strategies
- 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).
- 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 because it’s very low cost
- STEPPELANDS: Russian(0rthodox) 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.
- BORDERLANDS: Cosmopolitanerish) 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.
- FORESTLANDS: Family, Clan Farms, Villages. Transportation expensive. Forests are dark and scary places full of brigands. 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. (Profiting from the domestication of man)
- RIVERLANDS: Riverlands strategy defends against Steppland and Desertland strategies. (Profiting from the domestication of man) Chinese Ethics: What can I get away with now, but over time make it 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.
- FERTILE RIVER LAND: (Profit from the subjugation of man) (Cyrus was lost). Bias to Empire.
- COASTAL-ISLAND LANDS – Athens, Scandinavia Bias to Trade
- ISLAND LANDS – Cyprus, Crete, BRITAIN, Naval bias to Trade.
- DIASPORIC PEOPLE – Gypsies, Travellers, Jews
Rock Paper Scissors: Elites and the Three Methods of Coercion
There are three formal means of coercing groups of people with institutions. And we can use these three Archetypes to imagine the extremes:
GHENGIS KHAN -- THOMAS JEFFERSON -- MOTHER THERESA VIOLENCE...........EXCHANGE............SUBSIDY RIGHT...............CENTER..............LEFT FATHER...............SON.............SISTER/MOTHER
The three means of coercion are as follows:
1) FORCE, or the threat of force A person has a VIOLENCE INCENTIVE to behave in a particular way when it has been made known to him that failure to do so will result in some form of physical aggression being directed at him by other members of the collectivity in the form of inflicting pain or physical harm on him or his loved ones, depriving him of his freedom of movement, or perhaps confiscating or destroying his treasured possessions.
The Physical: Body and Movement Using Force or Violence The fear of harm or promise of defense. By the Dominant or Established Male
Force: Tool: Physical Coercion Benefit: Avoidance Benefit Strategic use: Rapid but expensive. “Seize opportunities quickly with a concentrated effort.”
Limits: Via-Negativa: Procedural Power: Political, Judicial, and Military Power (Soldiers, Judges, and Politicians)
STATE(ORDER): Formal Limits. Violence(Harm) < -vs- > Defense (Protection) : Defense, Taxation, Keeping the Peace
2) REMUNERATION or payment A person has a REMUNERATIVE INCENTIVE to behave in a particular way if it has been made known to him that doing so will result in some form of material reward he will not otherwise receive. If he behaves as desired, he will receive some specified amount of a valuable good or service (or money with which he can purchase whatever he wishes) in exchange.
The Material: Resources and Opportunity Using Bribe or Trade The fear of loss of gains, or promise of gains By the Brother, Ally, or Ascendant Male
Exchange: Remunerative Coercion With Material Benefit – Strategic use: efficient in cost and time, only if you have the resources.
Possibilities: Via-Practica: Economic Power (people with wealth either earned or gained through tax appropriation).
TRADE(LAW-COMMERCE): Formal Cooperation: Boycott (Deprivation) < -vs- > Trade (Gain) : Reciprocity, Property : Boycott: Markets Laws.
3) MORAL Claims (collective goods) A person has a MORAL INCENTIVE to behave in a particular way when he has been taught to believe that it is the “right” or “proper” or “admirable” thing to do. If he behaves as others expect him to, he may expect the approval or even the admiration of the other members of the collectivity and enjoy an enhanced sense of acceptance or self-esteem. If he behaves improperly, he may expect verbal expressions of condemnation, scorn, ridicule or even ostracism from the collectivity, and he may experience unpleasant feelings of guilt, shame or self-condemnation.
The Social: Cooperation and Insurance Using Undermining or Advocacy The fear of ostracization or promise of inclusion By the female and especially dominant female
Words: Tool: Verbal, Moral Coercion Benefit: Ostracization/Inclusion, and Insurance benefit Strategic Use: slow, but inexpensive. “Wait for opportunity by accumulating consensus.”
Wants: Via-Positiva: Populist Power (Religion, Entertainment, Public Intellectuals)
RELIGION(SOCIETY): Formal Indoctrination Ostracization (Risk-Death) <–vs–> Inclusion (Safety-Life) : Conformity Obedience : Gossip, Undermining. And In addition, non-coercive informal institutions:
4) The Informal Organic Norms
THE PEOPLE: Organic Norms and Traditions: Pragmatic Habits
Degrees Of Coercion
We can scale each of the three-axis of coercion by degree of coercion:
1) INFLUENCE – informing others in their interests … 2) COERCION – coercing others to follow your interests … … 3) POWER – organized coercion of others for your or collective interests
|Coercion|: Neutral > Influence > Coercion > Power And Scale each axis by dree of certainty:
|Certainty|:Undecidability > Possibility > Potential > Probabilitye > Likelihood > Certainty
Combinations of Methods of Coercion: “Chords” of Coercion
Influence, coercion and power can consist of one or more of these method, often in great complexity. Groups tend to give priority to one or more different weighted combinations, or perhaps ‘chordic’ representations of these strategies. They do so out of habit, and class inclination, just as they follow religious and class sentiments due to their upbringing. People who belong to institutions have different capacities for adopting these strategies. Force requires discipline and long Time Bias. Remuneration requires cunning and invention. Moral claims require loyalty to consensus, and absorption of, and therefore payment of, opportunity costs. Different social classes have different time biases and consist of people with different time preferences, requiring different types of discipline under different social and economic conditions. ie: it is easier to have a long time preference if one is genetically disposed to better impulse control, and lives in greater security. It is easier to have a short time preference if one is more persuaded by impulses, less disciplined, and in an environment of scarcity. There are different costs to these institutions: Force is extremely expensive. Creating non-corruption, and order (some network of property definitions and their means of transfer). Property is a term for a scarce good that must used, consumed or transformed in the process of production, even if that process is human sustenance. Remunerative institutions require the complex task of concentrating capital then maintaining it in a constantly changing kaleidic and competitive environment. Moral claims require constant advocacy, verbal skill, maintenance of numerous relationships, and constant payment of opportunity costs. The social classes are organized by intelligence expressed by empathy or dominance. Intelligence is the ability to absorb content in real-time, to learn abstractions in time, and to permute those abstractions in application to problems in real-time. Intelligence regresses toward the mean over generations. Therefore class membership is an indicator of the likelihood of class mobility, and upper-class position is difficult to maintain. While we use the word ‘middle class’, and most people in the west live middle-class lifestyles, the middle class means possessing disposable income and participating in the market. Therefore the majority of citizens are in the upper proletariat and lower-middle classes, which we call the working, white-collar working and craftsman classes. The Social classes have different access to each of these forms of coercion. Those in the institutional class, or upper class, have access to force in the form of policy and law. Those in the capitalist class, or middle, have access to capital: money, and market institutions. In each strategy peoples form elites, and organizations for utilizing those strategies. The elites create philosophical frameworks. Each of these frameworks consists of moral claims, and institutional means of perpetuating those claims, and the social benefits of adopting those claims. Each of these institutions is open to corruption, which is the privatization of opportunity and reward, for personal consumption at group expense. Corruption is fraud. Each of these strategies, their organizations, institutions, and elites compete against other strategies, organizations, and elites, and each attempts to use its organization for discounts against other organizations. This competition is analogous to the game of Rock, Paper, Scissors, if more complicated: each group can successfully compete against one another under most circumstances, but can defeat and be defeated by some other combination of forces. At its base, there are only three tools of social organization. These three forms can be combined, as they are in the majority of the population in some manner or another. Or they can be used as one of three specializations, each of which attempts to play rock, paper, scissors, with the other two.
The Relation Between Elites and Classes
( … )
The Three Orders: Kin, State, and Cult
We make use of Authority and State, Law and Trade, and Education and Religion, but we choose a dominant bias with which to employ them in our social orders, yielding:
(1) Kin and Law and Nation and Federation – Create Self Determination (2) State and Corporatism, and Empire – Limit Self Determination (3) Cult and Religion, and Globalism – Eradicate Self Determination … depending upon homogeneity or heterogeneity of the population; to overcome resistance to the creation and preservation of commons – so that why is it that one bias in the order is always better off than the others?
The Order of Development of The Three Institutions
Religion(Theology) -> State > Law ==> (Middle east) Religion(Mythology) -> Law -> State ==> (India)
Law > Religion > State ==> (no one) Law > State > Religion(Philosophy) ==> (Europe)
State -> Law -> Religion ==> (China) State-> Religion(Confucian) -> Law ==> (China – Failed Law) Political power originates in the ability of humans to organize by individual influence, group coercion, and institutional power. It just so happens that we use gossip to rally and shame and ostracize people from production and opportunity for consumption. Religion. But then we scale. It just so happens that you need to use violence to suppress parasitism sufficiently for a market to form, at that scale: State But then we scale further. And then to use law to suppress cheating, fraud, and to impose performance, and restitution, and if necessary, punishment: Law. But then we scale further. And then we use wealth created by the application of violence and law and to force market participation rather than parasitism, to pay off those who cannot be forced. And then, we hit the novel inflection point, and scale further: And so we then use force, law and gossip to suppress the suppressors, and rely entirely upon rule of law, without a group that exercises power. So the sooner one develops rule of law, the sooner one starts suppressing the parasitism of the monopoly.
Tools of Rule
REPUTATION (Tribe, Band, Village) Individuals in small groups develop reputations and their survival depends on those reputations.We evolved for reputation. In fact. our consience serves to attempt to limit the damage we can do to our reputation. Because status (reputation) is the most infulential asset we have in survival after our health and natural ability. The reason is simple: the returns on coperation are not replacable by individual achievement. Weapon: Ostracization (death sentence) Records: Memory of Locals RELIGION (Polity) Religion evolved to provide an understanding of the word, virtues to imitate, and general prohibitions, across clans, tribes, and conquered nations, so that people could cooperate more easily and retaliate (feud) less frequently. Weapon: ostracization (deprivation from opportunity) Records: the memory of locals, religious registries and ceremonies. LAW Law evolved to standardize punishments across clans, tribes, and conquered nations, to keep the peace, preserve productivity, preserve taxation, and legitimize (provide value by) rule. Weapon: violence, deprivation Records: written ledgers of crimes and punishments. CREDIT Credit rule evolved to increase productivity by the promise of consumption in the present, such that the primary form of social punishment was loss of consumption, status, and signaling. Weapon: deprivation of consumption, status, and signaling. Records: written and electronic records of creditworthiness. DIGITAL REPUTATION Social media is creating a digital reputation but so isall online activity. Weapon: deprivation of opportunity, consumption, status, and signaling. Records: Electronic Records of behavior in all walks of life DIGITAL PRIOR RESTRAINT State surveillance of all behavior private and public. Weapon: Deprivation of choice to behave according to ‘rules’. Records: Surveillance. Predicted behavior from records in all walks of life.
The Result is the Ternary Logic of Political Science
There are three states of logic, in order:
1. False 2. Truth candidate (actionable) 3. Undecidable (In-actionable) There are three options to cooperation
1. avoidance – to separation (ostracization) 2. exchange – to integration(cooperation) 3. parasitism– to predation (conflict) There are three means of coercion
1. Remuneration (deprivation of trade, or benefit from trade) Middle class – Libertarian Meritocratic 2. Force (imposition of harm, defense from harm) Upper class – Conservative Eugenic 3. Undermining (ostracizing/inhibiting opportunity, including/generating opportunity) Under Class – Progressive Dysgenic So We Can Organize by Three Methods
- Kin – Law (Law, Economic)
- State – Force (Military, Political)
- Cult – Ostracizaton (Mythology, Social)
So We Can Rule by three axis of decidability
1. Reason and Command (China India) – Requires Justification 2. Empiricism(science) and Law (Europe) – Requires Truth 3. Sophistry and Propaganda (Semitia) – Requires Sophistry We can govern by three axis:
… … Military Elite (Unaccountable) 1. Bureaucracy (china) – Upper Class – Authority … … Financial Elite (Unaccountable) 2. Markets, Law, Courts, (Europe) – Middle Class – Republic … … Academic Elite (unaccountable) 3. Priesthood (Semitia) – Underclass – Theocracy – Byzantium, Islam Producing three axis of elites
1. Military, Militia, (external)
2. Juridical Police, Sheriff (internal) 3. Priests, Politicians, Public Intellectuals (familial, social) and of late minor elites 4. Economic: Entrepreneurial, Financial, Treasury
5. Scientific, Technical, Proucing Three Consequences

And I hope you see the pattern we call Serialization that we use to produce Types:
- Development: Sensory, Motor, Social, Rational, Skills
- Aging: Youth (to 16), Ascendant Adult (to 35), Established Adult to death
- Memory Adaptation: Right Now, Three Seconds, Three weeks, Three Months, Three years,
- Mindfulness: personal, interpersonal, social, political, existential
- Thought: Consiousness, Daydreaming, thinking, reasoning, ratioanalising (rationalism), calculating computing.
- Institutions: In-Family Traditions. Class Traditions, Informal Institutions, Formal Institutions
- Rules: Traditions, Norms, Laws
- Ethics: Manners, Ethics, Morals
- Ethical Methods: Imitative Ethics, Rule Ethics, Outcome Ethics
- Stories: Mythology, Narrative(story), Literature, History
- Paradigms: Theology (intuitive), Philosophy (Rational), Law(Evidentiary), Science(empirical), Logic(logical).
- Sciences: Formal (Logics), Physical, Natural (Behavioral), and Evolutionary
- Natural Sciences: Language, Psychology, Sociology, Economics, Law, Group Strategies
- Physical Sciences: Physics, Chemistry, Biochemistry, Biology, Sentience
- Mathematics: Counting: Numbers, Counting, Arithmetic, Accounting. Sets: Algebra, Computability, Combinatorics. Space: Trigonometry, Geometry, Differential Geometry, Algebraic Geometry, Topology. Time or Change: Calculus, Analysis)
Or scalar both directions:
- Moral: Evil, Immoral, Unethical, Bad <- Amoral -> Good, Ethical, Moral, Virtuous.
- Extremes of Brain Structure: Female: Psychotic Solipsistic Sensitive Empathic <- Balanced -> Rational, Analytic, Aspie, Autistic :Male
Or as we have seen above scalar in three directions:
- 1 – Force: Coercion by Defense or Threat
- … … … … … … … … 2 – Remuneration: Coercion by Bribery or Deprivation
- 3 – Undermining: Coercion by Inclusion or Ostracization
Or say, the four dimensions of the Nolan chart of political biases:
……………………………………………1 – Libertarian (Individual)……………………………….. 3 – Socialist (Consumptive) ———–|——— 4 – Aristocracy (Conservative) …………………………………………2 – Authoritarian (Collective)………………………………… And we use all various combinations of these lists, spectra, hierarchies and graphs. Why? Because when we create these definitions we convert rules of thumb to systems of measurement. And on the one hand, by providing the context for any term, it turns out to be the best way to educate people because the world they learn about “fits together”. And on the other hand, it nearly eliminates the ability of ignorant, biased, or deceptive people to engage in the many techiques of conflation, so that they can perpetuate an error, advance a bias, or lie. So by using terms defined in a context of other terms, we disambiguate those terms and increase the precision of the speaker to use due dilligenc in speech, and the ability of the audience to insure they’re undersattnding and not being subject to a falsehood. The ranking assuming we eradicate the Semitic dark ages: Europe, China, India, Iran-Assyria-Babylon, Egypt Mesoamerica, Semitia (Jewish Muslim), S-Pacific, E africa, W africa Africa, S Africa, Austronesia The only hard choice being Iran vs India and that choice possible only because the Persians were not able to shake off Islam and reassert Persian civilization despite efforts just as the Germans can’t sake of Christianity despite their efforts and reassert germanic civilization.

The Demand for Mindfulness is Demand for Education
The Neural Economy The Neural Economy, Uncertainty, and Worry (neuroticism) The Demand for “Meaning”The Demand For Agency (Will to Power, or control, or survival)The Demand for Mindfulness I mean the physical, cognitive and emotional discipline to control the subject of attention on the present intent, insulated from distractions whether personal, environmental, or interpersonal.

Decidability and mindfulness are market goods. We require these goods to compensate for a complex unpredictable (kaleidic) world. Traits Agreeableness, Extraversion, and Neuroticism
- Personal: The market demand for personal mindfulness (Spiritualism) whether empathic-feminine (theological), moral-masculine(rational), or analytic-masculine(scientific) exists, and all three demands exist for most of us.
- Interpersonal: The Market Demand for interpersonal mindfulness by creating a standard dialog, set of signals, and manners that are costly to learn and practice, but that by practicing display to others you are worthy of honest cooperation on the same terms.
- Social: The market demand for social mindfulness (limitation of fear and comfort in the ethical, and moral. These are moral rules that serve the group’s competitive strategy – and all reflect the environmental challenges of the age of transformation in which men invented religions.,
- Political: The market demand for political mindfulness (limits on political action and on rulers actions). I won’t cover each of them here.
- Strategic: The Market Demand for a group strategy – gypsy parasitism, Jewish parasitism, Muslim parasitism, predation and conquest, Christian undermining of the truth, knowledge, reason, law, property, aristocracy by rallying the peasantry and women and slaves against all and being as expansionary as islam – to counter islam. Buddhist submission and obedience Hindu class duty and function in the ‘harmony’. Chinese hierarchical family (bureaucracy). Anglo aristocratic egalitarianism (entrepreneurship and corporation).
+2 – Dominance (Real, Techne-Science, Materialism, Action) Statism Nationalism (Tribalism) Achieves mindfulness because of participation in state Soldiery Achieves mindfulness through military fraternity Agency Achieves Mindfulness because of achievement or success
+ 1 – Utility( Idealism, Philosophy, Reason, Choice, Mind) Aristotelian-Anglo Philosophy Continental and Platonic European Philosophy Confucian–Daoist Philosophy
0 – Insulation (Accommodation, Ritualization, Thought, Intuition ) Stoicism achieves mindfulness through small daily task completion in a virtuous manner. Shinto achieves mindfulness through the precise repetition of ritual in a respectful manner. Buddhism achieves mindfulness through meditation and escape from reality.
-1 – Submission (Supernatural, Theology, Empathy, Feeling) Christianity achieves mindfulness by personal and collective prayer (and song). Islam achieves mindfulness by many memorizations and ritual prayers during every single day. Judaism achieves mindfulness by separatism and deep indoctrination
The question is, given how the various religions solved mindfulness (Stoicism-epicureanism, buddhism, hinduism, abrahamism) which produces agency (stoicism), which produces optimism (hinduism), which produces withdrawal from reality (buddhism) and which denies and escapes reality (abrahamism).

By the second century, nearly all jews had given up farming – or given up on the religion. The resulting diaspora, selection for ingroup bias, the exit of failures, upward redistribution of reproduction to Rabbis, and frequent retaliatory prosecutions and bottlenecks produced expected results.

Methods of Argument
- Expressive (emotional): a type of argument where a person expresses a positive or negative opinion based upon his emotional response to the subject.
- Sentimental (biological): a type of argument that relies upon one of the five (or six) human sentiments, and their artifacts as captured in human traditions, morals, or other unarticulated, but nevertheless consistently and universally demonstrated preferences and behaviors.
- Moral (normative) : a type of argument that relies upon a set of assumedly normative rules of whose origin is either (a)socially contractual, (b)biologically natural, (c) economically necessary, or even (d)divine. (Also: RELIGIOUS)
- Reasonable (informal)
- Rational (logical and formal) – Most philosophical arguments rely upon contradiction and internal consistency rather than external correspondence.
- Analogical (HISTORICAL) A spectrum of analogical arguments – from Historical to Anecdotal — that rely upon a relationship between a historical sequence of events, and a present sequence events, in order to suggest that the current events will come to the same conclusion as did the past events, or can be used to invalidate or validate assumptions about the current period.
- Scientific (directly empirical): The use of a set of measurements that produce data that can be used to prove or disprove an hypothesis, but which are subject to human cognitive biases and preferences. ie: ‘Bottom up analysis”
- Economic: (indirectly empirical): The use of a set of measures consisting of uncontrolled variables, for the purpose of circumventing the problems of direct human inquiry into human preferences, by the process of capturing demonstrated preferences, as expressed by human exchanges, usually in the form of money. ie: “Top Down Analysis”. The weakness of economic arguments is caused by the elimination of properties and causes that are necessary for the process of aggregation.
- Ratio-Empirical (Comprehensive: Using all above): A rationally articulated argument that makes use of economic, scientific, historical, normative and sentimental information to comprehensively prove that a position is defensible under all objections. NOTE: See “Styles of Argument” below.
- Testimonial: (OPERATIONAL) categorically consistent, Internally consistent (logical), Externally Correspondent (Instrumentally observable), Operationally articulated (Possible), Fully Accounted, Moral (free of imposed costs).

Grammars of Civilizations Tell Us Their Strategies
1 – Aristotle Wrote Proto Empiricism: Reason, Naturalism, Proto-empiricism, Law, Calculation. (TRUTH, What is.), So the greeks and romans crossed from tradition into philosophy and then empiricism (science). Truth Regardless of Cost. 2 – Lao Tzu, Sun Tzu, and Confucius, all 6th-5th C BC wrote Philosophical WISDOM LIT. Lao Tzu crossed the line into the questionable. (WISDOM, What should be) Note that Buddhism was developed in India in the 5th Century BC, but did not succeed there. 3 – The Persians wrote supernormal and supernatural wisdom literature. Zoroastrianism 6th C BC. (UTOPIAN UNIVERSALISM) They did not make the full leap from religion to philosophy. 4 – The Indians wrote both mythology and wisdom literature, bordering on political science, from 1500 to 500 bc, then developed gods through 500AD, and continued to evolve through contributions of ‘saints’ through 1500AD despite Islamic conquest and interference. (WISDOM, RITUAL, PRAYER, What should be) in the broadest sense, 5 – The Egyptians wrote no systemic text for their natural religion (mythology, animism, polytheism, They practiced traditional trade: RITUAL AND SACRIFICE Supernatural (Animism, Anthropomorphism, heathenism ) Doctrine and Ritual. 6 – The Semitic Abrahamists , from 6th c BC, to 6th c AD, evolved traditional Semitic polytheistic religion into monolatry, then monotheism, then branched into Christianity, rabbinical Judaism, and islam (an others). (wrote Mythology, Resistance, Rebellion, Separatism, and Lie and Destruction of all of the above. (COMMAND, UTOPIAN LIE) They conflated theology, philosophy, and law into authoritarian religion.
The Axial Age (Civilization Formation) Anchored Us All
—“Axial Age (also Axis Age, from German: Achsenzeit) is a term coined by German philosopher Karl Jaspers in the sense of a “pivotal age”, characterizing the period of ancient history from about the 8th to the 3rd century BCE. During this period, according to Jaspers’ concept, new ways of thinking appeared in Persia, India, China and the Greco-Roman world in religion and philosophy, in a striking parallel development, without any obvious direct cultural contact between all of the participating Eurasian cultures.”— Wiki
[I]t’s just a fact that the ‘wisdom literature’ of each civilization (a) relies upon the grammar, (b) relies upon the argumentative methodology of the law, (c) relies upon the mythos. It’s inescapable. There is a reason Jews appropriated Babylonian history, and integrated Greek idealism to create Pilpul (justificationism in theology that relies upon the same techniques as justification in astrology and numerology) … and predictably enough, the same argument you are making (critique – the via-negativa of pilpul’s via-positiva). There is a reason the Jews appropriated European sciences to create the pseudosciences of Freudianism, boazianism, marxism, neo-marxism, feminism, and HBD-denialism, and European rationalism to create postmodernism, and European math to create with the outliers being Keynes and Foucault – both homosexuals. Just as there is a reason Confucius couldn’t solve the problem of politics and the Chinese speak in contrasts (riddles). Just as there is a reason westerners speak in law, evidence, and testimony. The ‘Axial Age’ anchored us all.

And the bolsheviks and the soviets were the only time the jews gained access to power to implement their culture at scale. Most of our history consists of trying to contain authoritarian, non-market, anti-rational, anti-scientific and much larger populations to self-determination, markets, reason, and science. Despite the women and underclasses within, and the hordes without. And the simple reason is that we, the Japanese-Koreans, alone can trust one another, because of our defeat of tribalism, because of our homogeneity, and because of our empirical monarchies. The three outliers today are (a) the gypsies that practice organized petty crimes, (b) the jews that practice organized social and political crimes of undermining, ( c) the Muslims that practice organized cromes of psychological undermining.

Conflict 10: Medieval Genetic Pacification
The Medieval Economy of Fief and Church
( … ) In examining the origins of the monastic cloister, Walter Horn found that “as a manorial entity the Carolingian monastery … differed little from the fabric of a feudal estate, save that the corporate community of men for whose sustenance this organization was maintained consisted of monks who served God in chant and spent much of their time in reading and writing. A monastery was a corporation, and served the same function as it does today.
The Hide System
Marital Genetic Pacification: De-Clannification
Interbreeding: Christian canon law followed Roman civil law, and forbade marriage within four degrees of consanguinity. This mandate persisted among Christians of the Middle East, with equally beneficial consequences compared to their Muslim neighbors. |Breeding|: Inbreeding (Family, Consanguinity) > Nearbreeding(Kindred) > Interbreeding (Subrace) > outbreeding (Race)
Rates of interbreeding. From high degrees of consanguinity (light) to low degrees of consanguinity (dark).
Economic Genetic Pacification: Bipartite Manorialism
Starting in about seven hundred, Nothern Europe developed manorialism. Manorialism, or ‘pico-states‘ originated in the Roman villa system of the Late Roman Empire. And manorialism was widely practiced in medieval western and parts of central Europe as well as China. Just as the Aristocracy granted land (access to capital) and therefore possibility of income to those who would produce military service, Manorialism granted access to land (capital) in exchange for economic service. Legal and economic decisions for the manor were made by the lord of the manor. Feudalism required a hierarchy of legal and military relationships among nobles, and Manorialism extended this system to the legal and economic relationships between nobles and peasants. Each lord of the manor was supported by his own direct landholding in a manor (sometimes called a fief), and from the obligatory contributions of a legally subject part of the peasant population under his jurisdiction and that of his manorial court. These obligations could be payable in several ways, in labor (the French term corvée is conventionally applied), in kind or in coin. |Agrarian Industrial Organization|: Manor (small and w/o mlitary obligation) > Feif (larger and with military obligation) A Feif consisted of heritable property or rights granted by an overlord to a vassal who held it in fealty (or “in fee”) in return for a form of feudal allegiance and service, usually given by the personal ceremonies of homage and fealty. The fees were often lands or revenue-producing real property held in feudal land tenure: these are typically known as fiefs or fiefdoms. However, not only land but anything of value could be held in fee, including governmental office, rights of exploitation such as hunting or fishing, monopolies in trade, and tax farms. A peasant referred to an agricultural laborer or farmer with limited land ownership, under feudalism and paying rent, tax, fees, or services to a landlord. Peasants hold title to land either in fee simple or by any of several forms of land tenure, among them socage, quit-rent, leasehold, and copyhold. The term was not a pejorative. Althought it evolved to be synonymous with ‘criminals’ in later centuries, and with ignorance in after the industrial revolution. Three classes of peasants existed: slave, serf, and free tenant. A slave served by negative incentives (threats of harm or deprivation). They could not marry (and of course not be ordained) … A serf was debt bound, in indentured servitude and served at least in part by his self interest. A free tenant could get married without permission and they could not be moved between estates against their will. In practice, the difference between free tenants varied across the continent with the method of taxation a better indication of one’s status. The Catholic Church, always in pursuit of customers over which they had influence, actively suppressed Slavery, promoted the transformation of slavery to serfdom and enslavement of Catholics was prohibited in 992 – but the legality of enslaving people of other religions and dogmas remained. It became increasingly uncommon through the Middle Ages, until effectively replaced by serfdom by the end of the 10th century. Perhaps more important for our discussion here, is that free tenants had access to public courts – the common law. But serfs, like slaves, awere excluded from the public judicial system and judicial matters were attended to in the private courts of their respective lords. The Economics of Domestication: Slaves are more productive and cheaper than brigands and enemies. Serfs are cheaper and more productive than slaves. Freemen are cheaper and more productive than serfs. And this distinctino continues up the scale of productivity. So while in the present we think of these conditions as oppression, they were in fact, defensive strategies for gradual domestication of human animals. Or stated differently: European Aristocracy and Nobility profited from the incremental domestication of human animals. And as we shall see later on, only the Chinese came close – failing to develop law, and failing to end clannishness. The indians, facing overwhelming numbers, gave up, and practiced class segregation by caste instead on a scale european nobility could never achieve – especially by cloistering so many of their sons and daughters. The rest of the world failed entirely at eugenic evolution. Africa lacking time to develop sufficient order that it could -although european conquest of west africa probably interrupted their progress. And worst, the Muslim Revolution reversed eugenic evolution and destroying every civlization it came in contact with, destroying their arts, literature, traditions, governments, religions, and reducing each to endemic superstition, ignorance, poverty, trbalism, and dysgenia. Manorialism delayed marriage and reproduction until a couple was of sufficient reliability and promise to obtain responsibility for the land. It provided an empirical test of one’s demonstrated behavior. It was a sort of equivalent to coming of age of maturity, or perhaps closer to citizenship. And a departure from serfdom and slavery. This manorialism spread horizontally across what is today protestant Europe and did not spread south into what is today’s Catholic Europe. Nuclear Families: For instance, the distribution of nuclear families in europe. here’s a map of emmanuel todd’s traditional family systems in europe — the absolute, egalitarian, and stem families (yellow, blue, and green on the map) are all types of nuclear or small-sized families (the stem family is the immediate family plus one set of grandparents, so it has slightly more members than a pure nuclear family). as you can see, small families (nuclear and stem families) occur most frequently to the west of or “inside” the hajnal line, community or extended families more frequently outside of it.
The Consequence: The Hajnal Line of Eugenic Evolution
The Hajnal line is a border that links Saint Petersburg, Russia and Trieste, Italy. In 1965, John Hajnal discovered it divides Europe into two areas characterized by a different levels of nuptiality. To the west of the line, marriage rates and thus fertility were comparatively low and a significant minority of women married late or remained single; to the east of the line and in the Mediterranean and select pockets of Northwestern Europe, early marriage was the norm and high fertility was countered by high mortality. “West of this line, the average age of marriage for women was 23 or more, men 26, spouses were relatively close in age, a substantial number of women married for the first time in their thirties and forties, and 10% to 20% of adults never married. East of the line, the mean age of both sexes at marriage was earlier, spousal age disparity was greater and marriage more nearly universal – in what has come to be known as the ‘Western European marriage pattern’. While there are significant variations within the region; to the west of the line, about half of all women aged 15 to 50 years of age were married while the other half were widows or spinsters; to the east of the line, about seventy percent of women in that age bracket were married while the other thirty percent were widows or nuns. “The region’s late marriage pattern has received considerable scholarly attention in part because it appears to be unique; it has not been found in any other part of the world prior to the Twentieth Century. The demographic evidence from family reconstitution studies makes the prevalence of the pattern clear; while evidence is scanty, most English couples seemed to marry for the first time in their early twenties before the Black Death and afterward, when economic conditions were better, often married in their late teens.” So, Hajnal discovered two significant influences common in western europe: late marriage and many individuals never marrying.
Judicial Genetic Pacification
State Monopoly on Violence: Throughout almost all of history, families and clans provided their own security, justice, and punishments. As a consequence feuds – clan and family warfare – were the norm. The state replaced clan violence and directed it toward its enemies. Genetic Pacification: Beginning in the 11th century, Western Europe developed a growing consensus that the wicked should be punished so that the good may live in peace. Courts imposed the death penalty more and more often and, by the late Middle Ages, were condemning to death between 0.5 and 1.0% of all men of each generation, with perhaps just as many offenders dying at the scene of the crime or in prison while awaiting trial. Meanwhile, the homicide rate plummeted from the 14th century to the 20th, decreasing forty-fold.Rapid Decline in Violence: from steven pinker’s Better Angels of the geography of homicide in late nineteenth-century Europe (hajnal line added by me). the homicide rates were significantly lower inside the hajnal line than outside of it in the late nineteenth century (more on this later in the post):

Conflict 10: Medieval Genetic Pacification
The Medieval Economy of Fief and Church
( … ) In examining the origins of the monastic cloister, Walter Horn found that “as a manorial entity the Carolingian monastery … differed little from the fabric of a feudal estate, save that the corporate community of men for whose sustenance this organization was maintained consisted of monks who served God in chant and spent much of their time in reading and writing. A monastery was a corporation, and served the same function as it does today.
The Hide System
Marital Genetic Pacification: De-Clannification
Interbreeding: Christian canon law followed Roman civil law, and forbade marriage within four degrees of consanguinity. This mandate persisted among Christians of the Middle East, with equally beneficial consequences compared to their Muslim neighbors. |Breeding|: Inbreeding (Family, Consanguinity) > Nearbreeding(Kindred) > Interbreeding (Subrace) > outbreeding (Race)
Rates of interbreeding. From high degrees of consanguinity (light) to low degrees of consanguinity (dark).
Economic Genetic Pacification: Bipartite Manorialism
Starting in about seven hundred, Nothern Europe developed manorialism. Manorialism, or ‘pico-states‘ originated in the Roman villa system of the Late Roman Empire. And manorialism was widely practiced in medieval western and parts of central Europe as well as China. Just as the Aristocracy granted land (access to capital) and therefore possibility of income to those who would produce military service, Manorialism granted access to land (capital) in exchange for economic service. Legal and economic decisions for the manor were made by the lord of the manor. Feudalism required a hierarchy of legal and military relationships among nobles, and Manorialism extended this system to the legal and economic relationships between nobles and peasants. Each lord of the manor was supported by his own direct landholding in a manor (sometimes called a fief), and from the obligatory contributions of a legally subject part of the peasant population under his jurisdiction and that of his manorial court. These obligations could be payable in several ways, in labor (the French term corvée is conventionally applied), in kind or in coin. |Agrarian Industrial Organization|: Manor (small and w/o mlitary obligation) > Feif (larger and with military obligation) A Feif consisted of heritable property or rights granted by an overlord to a vassal who held it in fealty (or “in fee”) in return for a form of feudal allegiance and service, usually given by the personal ceremonies of homage and fealty. The fees were often lands or revenue-producing real property held in feudal land tenure: these are typically known as fiefs or fiefdoms. However, not only land but anything of value could be held in fee, including governmental office, rights of exploitation such as hunting or fishing, monopolies in trade, and tax farms. A peasant referred to an agricultural laborer or farmer with limited land ownership, under feudalism and paying rent, tax, fees, or services to a landlord. Peasants hold title to land either in fee simple or by any of several forms of land tenure, among them socage, quit-rent, leasehold, and copyhold. The term was not a pejorative. Althought it evolved to be synonymous with ‘criminals’ in later centuries, and with ignorance in after the industrial revolution. Three classes of peasants existed: slave, serf, and free tenant. A slave served by negative incentives (threats of harm or deprivation). They could not marry (and of course not be ordained) … A serf was debt bound, in indentured servitude and served at least in part by his self interest. A free tenant could get married without permission and they could not be moved between estates against their will. In practice, the difference between free tenants varied across the continent with the method of taxation a better indication of one’s status. The Catholic Church, always in pursuit of customers over which they had influence, actively suppressed Slavery, promoted the transformation of slavery to serfdom and enslavement of Catholics was prohibited in 992 – but the legality of enslaving people of other religions and dogmas remained. It became increasingly uncommon through the Middle Ages, until effectively replaced by serfdom by the end of the 10th century. Perhaps more important for our discussion here, is that free tenants had access to public courts – the common law. But serfs, like slaves, awere excluded from the public judicial system and judicial matters were attended to in the private courts of their respective lords. The Economics of Domestication: Slaves are more productive and cheaper than brigands and enemies. Serfs are cheaper and more productive than slaves. Freemen are cheaper and more productive than serfs. And this distinctino continues up the scale of productivity. So while in the present we think of these conditions as oppression, they were in fact, defensive strategies for gradual domestication of human animals. Or stated differently: European Aristocracy and Nobility profited from the incremental domestication of human animals. And as we shall see later on, only the Chinese came close – failing to develop law, and failing to end clannishness. The indians, facing overwhelming numbers, gave up, and practiced class segregation by caste instead on a scale european nobility could never achieve – especially by cloistering so many of their sons and daughters. The rest of the world failed entirely at eugenic evolution. Africa lacking time to develop sufficient order that it could -although european conquest of west africa probably interrupted their progress. And worst, the Muslim Revolution reversed eugenic evolution and destroying every civlization it came in contact with, destroying their arts, literature, traditions, governments, religions, and reducing each to endemic superstition, ignorance, poverty, trbalism, and dysgenia. Manorialism delayed marriage and reproduction until a couple was of sufficient reliability and promise to obtain responsibility for the land. It provided an empirical test of one’s demonstrated behavior. It was a sort of equivalent to coming of age of maturity, or perhaps closer to citizenship. And a departure from serfdom and slavery. This manorialism spread horizontally across what is today protestant Europe and did not spread south into what is today’s Catholic Europe. Nuclear Families: For instance, the distribution of nuclear families in europe. here’s a map of emmanuel todd’s traditional family systems in europe — the absolute, egalitarian, and stem families (yellow, blue, and green on the map) are all types of nuclear or small-sized families (the stem family is the immediate family plus one set of grandparents, so it has slightly more members than a pure nuclear family). as you can see, small families (nuclear and stem families) occur most frequently to the west of or “inside” the hajnal line, community or extended families more frequently outside of it.
The Consequence: The Hajnal Line of Eugenic Evolution
The Hajnal line is a border that links Saint Petersburg, Russia and Trieste, Italy. In 1965, John Hajnal discovered it divides Europe into two areas characterized by a different levels of nuptiality. To the west of the line, marriage rates and thus fertility were comparatively low and a significant minority of women married late or remained single; to the east of the line and in the Mediterranean and select pockets of Northwestern Europe, early marriage was the norm and high fertility was countered by high mortality. “West of this line, the average age of marriage for women was 23 or more, men 26, spouses were relatively close in age, a substantial number of women married for the first time in their thirties and forties, and 10% to 20% of adults never married. East of the line, the mean age of both sexes at marriage was earlier, spousal age disparity was greater and marriage more nearly universal – in what has come to be known as the ‘Western European marriage pattern’. While there are significant variations within the region; to the west of the line, about half of all women aged 15 to 50 years of age were married while the other half were widows or spinsters; to the east of the line, about seventy percent of women in that age bracket were married while the other thirty percent were widows or nuns. “The region’s late marriage pattern has received considerable scholarly attention in part because it appears to be unique; it has not been found in any other part of the world prior to the Twentieth Century. The demographic evidence from family reconstitution studies makes the prevalence of the pattern clear; while evidence is scanty, most English couples seemed to marry for the first time in their early twenties before the Black Death and afterward, when economic conditions were better, often married in their late teens.” So, Hajnal discovered two significant influences common in western europe: late marriage and many individuals never marrying.
Judicial Genetic Pacification
State Monopoly on Violence: Throughout almost all of history, families and clans provided their own security, justice, and punishments. As a consequence feuds – clan and family warfare – were the norm. The state replaced clan violence and directed it toward its enemies. Genetic Pacification: Beginning in the 11th century, Western Europe developed a growing consensus that the wicked should be punished so that the good may live in peace. Courts imposed the death penalty more and more often and, by the late Middle Ages, were condemning to death between 0.5 and 1.0% of all men of each generation, with perhaps just as many offenders dying at the scene of the crime or in prison while awaiting trial. Meanwhile, the homicide rate plummeted from the 14th century to the 20th, decreasing forty-fold.Rapid Decline in Violence: from steven pinker’s Better Angels of the geography of homicide in late nineteenth-century Europe (hajnal line added by me). the homicide rates were significantly lower inside the hajnal line than outside of it in the late nineteenth century (more on this later in the post):
