  • Diversity Means Division

    Feb 7, 2020, 9:15 AM

    —“Diversity is synonym for Division and Division’s not a strength it’s a weakness. Strength arises from Unity not Division. Diversity between nations is a strength for humanity, but Division within Nations is a weakness.”–Bic Verger —“Diversity isn’t necessarily synonymous with division, it is however necessarily antonymous to equality.”—Martin Štěpán

    Equality is made possible by appealing to ending status and power competition using kin selection. Devolve the federal government once again and restore the constitution to an alliance of nation-states. Europe solved this problem and only napoleon undermined it. A large number of small homogenous nation states produces a market for different commons producing polities and the greatest tolerance for reciprocity and proportionality

    —“Homogeny is closer to equality, but absolute equality only exists as entropy(devolution). What we want is an equilibrium where benefits of division of labor most outweigh the costs of diverging interests.”—Martin Štěpán

    (This is an example why I spent years at this task. To make new leadership for a new world. And look at these guys. Something happened. A new critical mass. It’s beautiful.)

  • The Cost of Non European Civilizations to Themselves

    Feb 11, 2020, 7:32 AM

    —“Do you think being a european or not can be measured by the volume of the hazards of the externalities a person causes while coercing/persuading one’s self? And how the community constantly arranges to insure the externalities and and cover the damages?”— Mea Culba

    Non european communities seek to minimize stress of adaptation through relative equality and harmony – producing relative stasis – rather than adaptive competitive excellence – producing relative evolution, and the continuous distribution of the benefits of innovation and adaptation. Well, that’s the inverse of saying european civilization’s realism, naturalism, operationalism, empiricism, identity, logic, rational choice, reciprocity, together that constrain our logics, sciences and laws, collected in the physical laws of nature, the natural law of man, and the laws of testimonial thought and speech, place the highest burden on our conscientiousness and reason in exchange for eliminating frictions personal interpersonal political and external, and therefore the least frictions of innovation adaptation and evolution. We (europeans) evolve the fastest because we minimize the personal, interpersonal, social, political, and external hazards of falsehoods, each of which seeks to avoid the cost of stress required by continuous competition, innovation, adaptation, limited to reciprocal, truthful, and productive means.

  • Restoring Beauty

    Feb 11, 2020, 8:08 AM

    —-“As a carpenter/tradesman, I’m mostly disappointed in the decline of architecture. It would be much more rewarding to build beautiful structures, to say nothing of the furtherance of learning involved to do it. As beneficial as the “assembly line” model of building has been to economics, I believe it has been equally detrimental in that it has lowered basic educational requirements to attaining, and retaining, employment. Combine this with the governments takeover of educating our children, and you have the masses being minimally educated to do menial tasks. All the while they’re being spoon-fed woefully one sided, jingoistic propaganda. But I digress… #BeautyMatters “—Marc Kaller

    It’s something trump is trying to put thru in government architecture. It’s something I’ve put in the constitution. Efficiency in the aesthetic is a dirty word. 😉

  • Socrates on Declining Population

    “It seems strange enough to me that a herdsman who lets his cattle decrease and go to the bad should not admit that he is a poor cowherd; but stranger still that a statesman when he causes the citizens to decrease and go to the bad, should feel no shame nor think himself a poor statesman.” – Socrates on declining population

  • Truth in Ethnocentrism

    Feb 24, 2020, 10:43 AM

    —“Baiting people into the same Ethno-supremacist bullshit that is the main characteristic of modern day Israel? … Pilpul.. … Still some sharpening to do here.”—Noel Fritsch

    Are you saying that small, homogenous, low power distance, polities under rule of law, and their naturally limited capacity for fiat currency inflation don’t demonstrate the optimum mixed economies for both trade and redistribution? Are you saying ethnocentrism isn’t the optimum group strategy? Are you saying that ethno-supremacism isn’t a necessary property of ethnocentrism? Are you saying that europeans are not demonstrably superior genetically, culturally, scientifically, medically, technologically, institutionally, civilizationally to all other civilizations in the ancient and modern worlds? Are you the one engaging in deceit? I don’t use pilpul – it requires internal inconsistency and P-logic prevents internal inconsistency.
