  • Q: How do law and philosophy differ by civilization and why does it matter?

    We use the terms Law, Philosophy, and Religion within the frame of european conceptual tradition. However, we use law(dispute resolution, command), philosophy(choice), and religion(mindfulness) for different purposes, and it is those purposes that civilizations share. What constitututes law, philosophy, and religion varies (enormously) across civilizations. Of these religion varies least, philosophy next, and law the most. It is perhaps useful to understand that the middle east conflated everything into monopoly religion, the Chinese conflated everything into family-state, and the Europeans separated everything into different ‘classes’ with competing elites. (European “Tri-Functionalism”)

    SCIENTIFIC LAW (by discovery)
    Anglos still practice Common Law: The Natural Law of Reciprocity (Tort) by test of demonstrated interest (expenditure). This law is 5000 years old. The use of list law as a mediation between equal professional warriors, in a fully militarized society, is the origin of european civilization’s uniqueness: realism, naturalism, operatinalism, self determination, sovereignty, reciprocity, and testimonial truth. The law is sovereign (the ultimate authority). Men are sovereign under it. “Anything that is not prohibited is permitted, and disputes will be resolved empirically.”

    RATIONAL (FORMAL) LEGISLATION (by legislators)
    Continental Europeans presently practice Napoleonic law, which is not empirical (Napoleon couldn’t trust the judges) limits what you may do, as well as what you may not do. (this is why the British inclusion in the European project was a failure). “Anything that is not permitted is prohibited”. The state is sovereign, not the law, and not men.

    ‘REASONABLE’ (INFORMAL) COMMAND (by state)
    The Chinese and never developed law, just imperial command. But they never developed formal religion to frame their law either. Instead Confucian tradition in government, and sun tzu tradition in state is the basis for the law.

    RELIGIOUS (SUPERNATURAL) COMMAND (by Priests)
    The Semites evolved religion, then religious law. This is the reason they have been resistant to adaptation and fallen behind.

    TRADITIONAL (PRACTICAL) RULES (by Traditions, headmen)
    The Africans (and everyone else) developed a tradition of the resolution of disputes. This is equated to the function of law.

    WISDOM LITERATURE
    European Anglo Aristotelian: SCIENTIFIC “PHILOSOPHY”
    European Continental Platonic: RATIONALIST “PHILOSOPHY”
    Chinese Confucian: REASONABLE (ADVISORY) “PHILOSOPHY
    Semitic Abrahamic: AUTHORITARIAN “THEOLOGY”
    Indian Hindu: ADVISORY “MYTHOLOGY”

    Why does it matter? Because I work in the discipline you would call law (Decidability), and in particular, truth (testimony), and specifically in the differences in cultural uses of persuasion and deception. The failure to understand differences (or ‘failure to define your terms by disambiguation them down into first principles(first causes)’) is how all lies of intent, lies of imitation, and lies of involuntary transmission are produced, distributed, normalized, and institutionalized.

    There is a very high cost to european civilization and all other civilization avoided those costs, and in doing so avoided (or failed) to drag mankind kicking and screaming out of ignorance, superstition, hard labor, poverty, starvation, disease, and suffering. The worse view is that during the ‘age of transformation’ all other civilizations failed. And that had europeans failed as well, we might have never passed the great filter. And it is still possible we might not. Why?

    The secret of east and west is soft eugenics. And while the pre-war europeans understood this, the war era’s counter-revolution against it has brought us to the brink of another dark age.

    Because that one issue is the origin of all our political lies.

    The evasion of the physical, natural, and evolutionary laws of the universe. 😉

  • The Economics of Whiteness Condensed Version

    —“Whiteness is just a technology; you can use it or not.”— Curt Doolittle

    (BRILLIANT)
    by James Krieger

    Whiteness (Europeanism) is a technology, yes, just as damns are technology. However, adoption & maintenance costs vary across human subspecies, & since the gains are incurred largely as a function of time, there is very little incentive for certain subspecies to adopt Europeanism – particularly subspecies known for hyperbolic discounting.

    Europeanism as technology does have the advantage of framing failure as a product of choice—‘the technology is there why don’t you use it?’

    However, I think europeanism is more appropriately framed as an extended phenotype, just as damns are the product of beaver’s genetic information. It shifts the moral conversation from specifying & allocating blame for the failure to one of unapologetic commitment to ourselves & our mission:

    “We have no other choice than to be excellent. You are either coming along, contributing & carrying your own weight, or we will forcibly separate to remove the civilizational, institutional, economic, demographic drag.”

    As such:
    By Joel Landoe

    “The apparent privileges allegedly enjoyed by only one ethnicity (per social cartels, media etc) – Europeans – are due to an inequality of institutions, traditions, norms, paradigms, knowledge, values, resources, and goals [technology] that when applied in combination can be used by any person regardless of age, race, gender, or status for maximum self-actualization and development of good society.”

    Scientifically:
    By Curt Doolittle

    Only Europeans, and specifically male, conservative, and libertarian Europeans, paid the high cost, and counterintuitive cost, of discovering, adapting to, and applying the physical(material), biological (evolutionary), social (cooperative), laws of the universe, in thought, word, and deed, across the spectrum: personally, socially, economically, politically, militarily, and strategically (expansion, colonization, conquest).

    As such whiteness is a technology. It is a costly technology. It is paid for like all technologies. And the results are acquired at high cost no others are willing to pay.

    Evidentiary, warranted, warrantable Truth, reciprocity in display word and deed, competition in the service of others for survival by market adversity, meritocratic outcome in markets for association, cooperation, reproduction, production, common, polities, and most of all eugenic constraint on reproduction by test of meritocratic outcome – all of which are performed regardless of cost – are costs only Europeans evolved to bear.

    And even such it’s only possible in the lesser classes by training in Christian exhaustive payment of psychological costs as virtuous contribution to the commons, and worthy of status even without intellectual, economic, political, and military success.

    As such only European lower classes were slowly reduced in number, and reduced in cost, providing the counterintuitive excellence of western civilization: our Christian underclass, laboring classes, working classes, and lower-middle classes do the world’s least harm, while middle and upper classes do the world’s most good.

    The counter-intuitive explanation for the three great ages of European success vs all other competing civilizations is that Europeans deviate the least from the laws of the universe and pay high costs for doing so but achieve the extraordinary returns for those investments.

    So Europeans are not privileged. We merely pay the extraordinary costs that others do not.

    Ergo others who come and don’t are thieves.
