    @beoran A “Free City” was ‘free” by permission. Period. They were granted limited autonomy, as a means of increasing revenues to the ruling aristocracy, and limiting the costs of administration by the state. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_imperial_city

    They weren’t a check. They were just sufficiently organized with capital in sufficient concentration that the empire didn’t need to govern ( render justice) in them in order to produce order and ’empty the woods of brigands”. This is partly because those free cities were founded by the nobility and had their own arms and justice.

  • “Hi Curt, You’ve discussed the myriad of problems with big cities (dysgenic, par

    —“Hi Curt, You’ve discussed the myriad of problems with big cities (dysgenic, parasitic, immoral). And I agree. So I’m wondering why, as a Genghis Khan conservative, do I feel so drawn to large cities? Just about everyone supporting P wants to live in the suburbs or a rural area, have a family. And here I am just wanting to meet people and have fun. I want a family, but later. Is there something wrong with me? Rural areas seem depressing, while big cities seem exhilarating. It’s hard to reconcile the two because I can calculate how unsustainable big city leftist politics are, and how destructive it is to our civilization, but I can’t stand living anywhere else.”—

    I agree with you. I prefer living in cities because I have high openness and want it satisfied. Cities are interesting.

    If cities were run by conservatives, then conservatives would want to live there. They aren’t. There is no reason cities cannot be run conservatively. They were. Change policies so good people can live in cities and they will.

    The problem is if you want a good quality of life AND children you can’t compete with people who don’t.

    Cities drive out people who want quality of life AND children and retain people without children who have money, and people with children who are poor.

    The cost of clothing and feeding kids is (like all livestock) cheap. The cost of the home you do it in, varies a great deal.

    That’s why I want to change incentives.

    INDIANS AND LEVEL OF DENIAL ABOUT INDIA’S PROBLEMS
    (context: denial or equivalency as means of excusing conditions)

    India has a revolting incidence of reported birth defects, and even worse incidence of unreported birth defects.

    The reasons are a) it’s filthy, polluted, irradiated, c) high fertility (poor female bodily resources), d) poor antenatal care, e) poor maternal nutrition, f) high cousin marriage rate, g) high carrier rate for hemoglobinopathies, h) drug use pervasive.

    Consanguinity rates in India vary 1%-4% in the northern region to as high as 40-50% in the southern region.

    Exposures to teratogens before and after conception.
    11%. Alcohol 2.2%. Radiation 4% category X drug 5.71% Other categories of drugs during their first trimester 55.28% for cat. A to 6% for cat. D drugs. Availability of drugs. Non-prescribed drugs and self-medication.

    The north is 2/3 Iranic, the south 2/3 Dravidian. I’m all for indian nationalism. But stay on your continent. And keep the genes there. Seriously. And stop making excuses. Clean yourselves, and your country, and learn birth control or sterilization.

    –One thing Igor has not mentioned is that Ibn Khaldun’s theory applies to all human organizations: families, business, economic sectors, economies, intellectual disciplines arts and sciences, and not just political sectors. And it’s interesting (and telling) that westerners discovered the former and muslims discovered the latter. The value of the monarchies is that they constitute a MARKET for rotation, which is what occurred throughout european history.–

    Think of europe as a market regulated by the church, with the monarchies competing for market share. Conversely, think of europe a continent owned by the warrior class, competing for territory, with the church as the referee. Think of western civ as continents owned by them militia refereed by judges of the natural law.

    IBN KHALDUN’S TRIBAL VS WESTERN STATES
    by Igor Rogov

    The major distinction Russian scholars make between Ibn Khaldun description of his reality (and by extension, reality in post-USSR) and the so-called West:

    Ibn Khaldun notes the most important structures within Caliphate: Asabiyyah, Mulk, Davla. Davla could be translated as “State” but this leads to misconceptions when read by the westerner. Western State (or Stato) is distinct from Davla.

    State is (ideally) neutral and is powered by self-evolving law system, mechanically converting the reality into the set of rules. The Machiavellian ideal Prince (and American president) simply has to watch and adjust the balance of powers, so no one could cease and destroy this wonderful machinery. All other tasks are secondary.

    Davla is categorically different. It is powered by an impulse to dominate by the ruling elite (Asabiyyah is not exactly the tribal unity, but more like a passion – a will to rule the world by a warring tribe).

    Mulk is something special too. It is a sovereignty enforced by violence and nothing much else, keeping the Davla/Caliphate in dynamic unity. There are no “sovereign borders” in Western understanding of this, – only the dynamic, shifting line, depending on the current level of Mulk.

    SEDATION OF THE HERD BEFORE THE SLAUGHTER

    —“It’s still better than it’s ever been – we are just upset because we can see leading indicators of decline….”–Gary Knight

    —“Yeah man, it’s pretty awesome that I have an iPhone and burgers cost $1 at McDonalds. Who needs like, borders, or culture and shit…— Ely Harman

    In my understanding, saturation with media has replaced evidence of reality, and so people are unaware of just how bad it’s gotten. We forget that $1burgers, cable entertainment, the internet, video games, porn, pot, are forms of sedation. Not fulfillment but sedation.

    Socialization has fallen apart.
    Civilization follows.

    ( … )

    The answer is ancient. As we can see in Aesop’s Fables: Fable 112 – The Chariot of Hermes and the Arabs

    —“One day, Hermes drove across the entire Earth a chariot filled with lies, villainy and fraud. And he distributed a small portion of his cargo in each country he visited. But when he arrived in the country of the Arabs, the chariot suddenly broke down. The Arabs believed he was carrying a precious cargo and so they stole the contents of his chariot. Hermes was then unable to carry on into the countries of other peoples. More than all other people the Arabs are liars and cheats. Indeed, there is not even a word for ‘truth’ in their language.”—Aesop

    This is why our people aren’t compatible. And Taleb has engaged in the same form of sophism that gave license to the great lies of Judaism (undermine), Christianity (pacify), and Islam (consume), which is creating elaborate sentimental stories in order to engage in and justify the ancient hatred of the landless tribal people, and the settled farming people: the battle of Cain and Able: the farmers trust, commons and their cities, against the sheep herders and their lack of capital, trust, and its multipliers in the commons.

    [End]

    THE OTHER REASON TALEB IS WRONG. THE UN-TRUSTWORTHY. By Curt Doolittle, The Propertarian Institute We presume intelligence is the driving factor in our differences in life outcomes. It’s just the driving factor for (a) rate of learning (b) working with complexity. Conscientiousness is evenly distributed across the spectrum of complexity regardless of intelligence. So the market demand is for minimum necessary intelligence and conscientiousness. And then by intelligence sufficient for the degree of complexity. But, what isn’t in that dichotomy is our incentives. This is where Taleb makes his second mistake. Just as we pay police to avoid corruption, we pay people more to avoid corruption. We are not paid just for conscientiousness, or just for complexity, but for loyalty and consequence. So instead of just Intelligence, we have: a) Reward for Conscientiousness (quality), b) Reward for Intelligence (complexity), c) Reward for Scarcity (by income) , and d) Reward for Insurance (by status and security) The Chinese bureaucracy was successful, because of the training and incentive against corruption, in exchange for the status and predictability of income – and why the German and French have been, and why the American has not been, and why the Semitic people have never been able to develop (a) civic trust or truthful speech (b) commons, (c) governments at scale, (d) nations at scale, (e) companies at scale (f) economies at scale, (g) a durable civilization without consuming an existing great one, and (h) why the Semites produce an ibn Khaldun (low trust), instead of Locke, Smith, Hume, Hamilton, Adams, and Jefferson, Pareto, Darwin, Menger, Maxwell, Nietzsche or Hayek (High Trust). Taleb hates the answer: (a) intelligence matters in the suppression of parasitism, (b) rewarding it with income, status, and security matters in the suppression of parasitism (c) dysgenia results from low trust, poverty results from low trust, and inability to innovate results from low trust, leaving only consumption and distrust and small scale corrupt organizations, (d) he and his ‘Fat Tony’ profit only because in a high trust society and civilization under rule of law, with scale institutions, both private and public, the opportunities for immoral (non-productive) windfalls exist – precisely because we are so high trust we never even THINK of the kinds of scams that Taleb, Fat Tony, (George Soros), imagine. In other words, all Taleb has managed to do across his books is explain why he could come to the west to make money but his people live in ignorance, superstition, tribalism, deceit, and relative poverty.
