    I’m saying (and I’m not alone) that the continental attempt to resist british “enlightenment” spread from france (rousseau) to germany (kant, schopenhauer), to the first jewish (Mendelsohn), and the second (Marx et al) reformations in their attempts to create a secular theology.

  • Testimony – P Is the Rational Expression of Our Ancient Traditions.

    TESTIMONY – P IS SCIENTIFIC(LOGICAL, OPERATIONAL, EMPIRICAL) ARTICULATION OF OUR ANCIENT TRADITIONS. by Scott Strong What’s brilliant about you Curt is your ability to articulate it all so methodically. The reality is these Western ideas weren’t really formed by one great philosopher but are rather an an hod, kit-bashed collection of mostly intuitive practices that our ancestors accumulated, not out of some great philosophy or moral conviction, so much as pure pragmatism in that they were the best practices that simply worked and because if people did things that didn’t work, the group would die in battle, or starve in the lean winter months. Propertarianism is not your invention, but rather your codification and articulation of the mostly intuitive unconscious pragmatic wisdom of our ancestors. === That’s right. I just wrote it down for the first time the way others have written their bibles of primitive thought in primitive language. It may not have been possible to our body of advanced thought until we had an advanced language to write it in. But we’ve been practicing it for thousands of years. And that’s why propertarianism is a product of our European civilization, not me – i’m not that important and our ancestors are. And that is why it has more legitimacy than some other nonsense some philosopher pulled out of his had. I’m just a scientists discovering and capturing the rules of western civilization. I’m just doing natural science in the natural law of our people – writing down the formulae.

  • Motivations for Colonization

    by Scott De Warren If we disambiguate the mediterranean from the northern Atlantic worlds we will find different, though related motivations for colonization. For the Iberian peninsula it was a matter of national survival. As the Atlantic opened up to the world the Netherlands, followed by England set up global trade networks (inspired by previous Portuguese and Spanish success) to build up their national wealth so as to resist Catholic domination (Netherlands eventually split) made possible by Spanish gold and silver from the colonies. Resisting Catholic domination required rapid expansion of mercantilist trade (raw material inputs are imported, high value added outputs are exported) making bases in North America ideal.

    Art is perhaps the most effete and elegant path by which to study the evolution of man – writers lie like hell because authoring like gossip is cheap. Arts are costly. Architecture especially, and all arts evolve to decorate architecture. (ie: the decline in architecture and art)

    @ubermensch11111 @NISquadron I find education pedantic? Infantile? Like most autodidacts, I prefer self study. Only fine art was deeply interesting. Although I should have gone into the literature or philosophy departments when they asked me. I was too immature to understand what being asked meant.
