    Why don’t you just use Colin Woodward’s map? Or overlay moving records, flying records, driving, dollar bill tracks, shipping, phone calls, waterways, roads, race, ethnicity, religion… Woodward’s been working on this forever and I haven’t seen an innovation yet.

    TBH the more I think about it the more I think you really need like 12 regions (11 not counting Hawaii) to cover the US. (Note: these boundaries would ABSOLUTELY NOT strictly be along state lines if I had time to make a real map, but this gives you the general idea.) https://t.co/w0NXOvYupo

  • The Origins of Individualism

    —“Individualism” properly defined, as the mutual respect of humans for each other’s direct connection to God …”—

    [I] don’t know where that comes from, but as far as I now individualism in the marxist, postmodern sense is relatively recent invention, with the unique western tradition of individual sovereignty under rule of law the origin of what we group under the term individualism. We often conflate that with christian consideration (care) for the individual and christian tolerance for the individual. But we prohibited collective punishment, created law for the individual not family, and created policy for the intergenerational family. Civilizations all talk about their via-positivas but they cooperate by their via-negativas instead. The purpose of a via-positiva as far as I know is to circumvent the via-negativa, and by habituation, remove it from cognition (metaphysical presumptions).

  • The False Dichotomy Of Capitalism vs Socialism is Another Abrahamic Deception

    The Anarchism(impossible) to Capitalism(rule of law universalism) to classical liberalism(rule of law nationalism ) to National Socialism to communism (impossible, universalism) is another bit of sophistry sold by the abrahamic left: whereas the difference is one of rule of law vs rule by discretion. So, as usual in the abrahamic method of deceit, the public is presented with a false dichotomy, between two economic models where all economies are and must be mixed economies, and where the debate is only over the rule of law that forces cooperative solutions , and rule of man, which forces uncooperative solutions. The Romans solved this problem by preserving the senate (aristocracy), and the middle classes (plebeians) during times of market cooperation, and dictators (generals) in time of war. As far as I know there is no better system than authority in war, houses in peace, and redistribution of windfalls. And all of that is possible only when the law is empirical and sacred, and men will willingly kill usurpers at every opportunity.
