    Disgusting = Degenerate = Dysgenic = Devolutionary = Animal It’s not complicated: Revolt, Separate, Prosper, Speciate.

    Yep. Really. Look at the data. Cities are genetic disaster areas.

  • Us, Our Gods and Our Heroes

    September 18th, 2018 11:04 AM US, OUR GODS AND OUR HEROES [A]ll our heroes are dead, like Achilles, Socrates, Alexander, Ceasar and Aurelius. Some of them are clouded in generations of myth like Arthur and Sigurd and even Charlemagne; and some of them like Odin – our original warrior and law giver – are so lost in the mists of myth and time, that we can only see vague reflections of their features by comparing the various versions of those myths to discover the similarities and differences. But all of them are worthy of asking wisdom, of thanking for their works and our debt to them, and of persisting their memories across the generations so that we imitate the greatness of their characters and ambitions. We are the people who worship (honor) the trees as connecting the sky, the earth, and the underground, as a connection between our past generations in the earth, those that live today on the ground, and those yet to be in our imaginations of the sky. Our ancestors buried their dead under hearth, and created monuments around them with rings of trees or stone. they built groves for the same purposes. They built temples for the same purposes. Church and education are unfortunately connected. For it is that thing we call religion that trains our civic intuition to habituate one set of choices over another set of choices. The question is whether like our current academy, we are told to worship the state, or supreme being as proxy for the state, or our ancestors and our line, and our people, and the state a facilitator of that nation. We are the people of sovereignty – the cult of non-submission. We had forced upon us a false religion of alien nature, and enforced illiteracy, forced indoctrination, and forced submission. Yet our very being resists this evil and seeks repeatedly to regain our sovereignty.. Transcendence through sovereignty, reciprocity, duty, truth, the cult of the law, and markets in everything that result from their use. We have a legion of gods, demigods, and heroes. We have the nature that sustained them. And the universe available to them. And it is correspondence to and consistency with that universe, that nature, and the gardening of each that is what makes us the gods we wish to be.

    —“Look at the veneration and mythic aspect of the founders and other heroes of American history. Some even have what we could call temples. Especially Washington, Jefferson, (maybe Franklin, though there seems to be something more human about how we remember him), Lee, Stonewall Jackson, Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Patton, JFK, maybe even Reagan, although I think the gleam is wearing off his spirit as we realize the fraud perpetrated by many who used the vehicle of his name. Whether we agree with them all or not, they’re figures in a sort of American pantheon, and to at least some segment of society or other, they all represent certain archetypal, ideal qualities.”– Eric Best

    Correct. 😉

  • Regarding Gans’ Generative Anthropology

    September 18th, 2018 9:22 AM REGARDING GANS’ GENERATIVE ANTHROPOLOGY [S]omeone just asked, so for those that are interested in such things, Eric Gans’ Generative Anthropology, is compatible and non-contradictory with Propertarianism. It is however a description of potential (cooperation on policy) not one of limits (resolution of differences by law), and it is narrative (literary and analogical) not operational (descriptive and scientific). Gans is also from the French and Marxist Critical theory schools, which explains his use of literary rather than scientific device. My work, particularly my work on grammars, and my work using neural economy, provide an operational explanation for the emphasis on the consequences of language. But I place dramatically more emphasis on truth as a competitive evolutionary advantage, and tolerance beyond the kin group as a competitive evolutionary disadvantage. This is the opposite of his position. However, when I read him I do not see falsehood, only another attempt to justify a norm rather than to create an excellence using similar understanding of the function of information that he calls language.
