May 4, 2020, 11:44 AM EUROPEAN PREMISES OF MAN 1) While personality factors are relatively similar between the sexes other than male disagreeablness-domnance-political-physical, and female agreeableness-submission-interpersonal-empathic that the underlying personality facets of each factor differs by sex accordingly 2) that we all vary in the distribution of male and female cognitive biases, but that collectively (in distributions) we cluster in three stereotypical traits: i) the female (socialist) ii)the ascendent male (libertarian), and the established or dominant male (conservative). 3) that nature-nurture debate is over via twin studies and genetic studies, and that 80% of behavior is genetic, and the other 20% is the result of idiosyncratic developmental differences. 4) that intelligence is a personality trait and that it may be indistinguishable from openness to experience, 5) that individuals and groups differer by genetic load (accumulation of errors not of excellences), 6) that the differences between races, subraces, and classes is due largely but not entirely to: … i) the group’s development of neoteny which produces cognitive agency, … ii) the local adaptation to local environmental conditions such as disease gradients in africa, closed group winter living along the ice, time under agrarianism, time under eastern or western manorialism (or worse, under middle east agrarianism) … iii) the group’s genetic load which we express as the ratio of the genetic underclass (those that cannot learn by at least reading), versus those that can learn by reading self study self investigation or self theorizing. 7) that a group’s relative condition is dependent upon the median of the group’s abilities more so than the outliers, 8) that unless a group can organize a pareto hierarchy of voluntary organization of production it cannot compete in the world market for goods services and information and drag the population out of poverty. PREMISES OF EUROPEAN CIVILIZATION 1) Man desires consumption, consumption is increased by opportunity, and opportunity is increased by liberty, but so is irresponsibility. And so is free riding, parasitism, fraud, crime, immigration, conversion, conquest, and genocide. 2) The state evolved to incrementally suppress local parasitism decreasing local transaction costs, in exchange for paying taxes to pay the cost of decreasing local transaction costs. This made markets possible where only primitive trade previously existed. 3) Man is amoral by nature, and pragmatic. By the institution of parenting, acculturation, indoctrination, training, laws, restitution, punishment, and prevention we invest in his domestication. 4) Man develops theology, philosophy, ideologies, rationalizations, myths, fantasies, and various other forms of frauds, to attempt to obscure and justify his free riding, parasitism, fraud, crime, and organized crime. 5) In order to produce the suppression of free riding, parasitism, fraud, crime, and organized crime, requires a power law of institutions of prevention, investigation, dispute resolution, prosecution, restitution, punishment and prevention. 6) In order to produce a market requires a pareto distribution of assets, so that the organization of networks in an market can produce a complex division of labor and its returns without which the terms freedom and liberty have no meaning. 7) In order to produce a society that tolerates market competition and the suppression of free riding, parasitism, fraud, crime, and organized crime, requires the resulting distribution of rewards satisfy a marginal nash equilibrium. 8) Given three possible means of coercion: force-defense (Military-police, government), trade-boycott(commerce-law), and advocacy+insurance-undermining+ostracization(social, education, religion), elites will combine to use and misuse these skills in a competition. 9) Given that Man varies greatly from barely human to superhuman in physical, social, and intellectual ability, and sexual, social, economic, political, and military value, and given the power, Pareto, and Nash necessities of distributions, man will sort by value to others by his value in those markets – producing networks of competing and overlapping hierarchies that we call sexual, social, economic, and political class. 10) As such, rule of law and the independent judiciary provide a market for the suppression of not only individuals and groups of individuals, but elites in all three dimensions of elites, such that sovereignty, liberty and freedom are maintained DESPITE the presence of necessary hierarchies. 11) That or individual, familial, clan, tribal, subracial, and racial status in family, clan, class, polity is dependent upon our sexual, social, economic, political, and military market value in competition with those in our polity. 12) That as such classes are the result of sortition by our sexual, social, economic, political, and military a market value to OTHERS. 13) And that due to market sortition, there is little class rotation other than in and out of the middle in both directions. 14) And that the only aggregate difference we can make for teh polity is the reduction of the rates of reproduction of the underclasses as measured by their demonstrated success in the social, economic, political, and military markets for value to one another. 15) And that the current relative condition of the world polities is the result of domestication both in neoteny and in removal of genetic load. 16) And that all groups can transcend by use of soft eugenics limiting the reproduction of the lower classes by the same means. 17) But that cooperation is not an endless good. cooperation is only valuable until it’s not. When it is not then non-cooperation is preferable to cooperation. But non cooperation is only preferable to non predation until it’s not. When it’s not, then predation is preferable to non-cooperation. MARX’S PREMISES (via Hoppe) 1) The history of mankind is the history of class struggles between a ruling class and the exploited. VS: The history of mankind is the creation of cooperation in increasing numbers, to achieve increasing productivity in time, to increase consumption with the same amount of time, despite our vast differences in ability. 2) The ruling class is unified by its position and maximizing its position – change dependent upon whether or not the exploited are aware of their status and united in opposition to exploitation. VS: The ruling class is running a business for profit, and the largest human organizations for the most profit and the most returns, are government, state, and empire. 3) The ruling class organizes the allocation of property necessary to preserve their position. VS: The ruling class can choose between extraction (consumption) for a short time, or capitalization (Saving) for the longer term, and everything in between. 4) The competition within the ruling class generates an expansion of exploitation that is increasingly centralized. VS: Minimizing the number of dividend receiving shareholders in the organization we call the government, state, or empire in exchange for removal of tariffs between governments, states, or empires is profitable. Maximizing the sources of revenues is profitable. All that matters is whether one is achieving a balance between consumption(extraction) and capitalization (savings). 5) This concentration will lead to interstate wars and expansion of exploitative rule. VS: Political warfare, economic warfare, business warfare, social warfare, family conflict are all means of competition that discover optimums by trial and error, and discover failures by trail and error. 6) Economic stagnation and crisis will result making necessary underclass revolt and … etc. VS: Periodically, if capital becomes centralized sufficiently that it is obtaining rents rather than producing returns on investments int he commons, it is necessary to reallocate the capital from rent seeking to productive means regardless of the family, business, industry, society, government, state, or empire it is within. The question is only one of measurement and measurement is possible if not easy. HALF TRUTHS ARE USED TO BAIT INTO HAZARD All of these are half true, but as you can see, they are only half true because they presume the falsehood of the garden of eden in which an invisible god rules rather than men. The organized use of violence permitted the reduction of transaction costs, the expansion of production cycles, and the accumulation of built capital, and the accumulation of commons, in exchange for an alternate organization of these same human built resource and territorial capital. But people weren’t exploited, they were domesticated like all other plants and animals. And they were domesticated by the incremental suppression of local corruption and rent seeking in exchange for central production of commons, and subsequent incentives to corruption. The false presumption is that it is possible to defend an organization of people, production, distribution, and trade without the concentration of forces in the prevention of alternatives. Or that it is possible to produce scale commons without the state. All of these are half true. All of them offer personalize a market necessity, propose a false conflict, a false promise baiting well meaning fools into hazard.

MARX’S FAILINGS 1) The labor theory of value (debunked) 2) The possibility of economic calculation (debunked) 3) The sufficiency of incentives (debunked) 4) The determination of needs-subsistence vs wants-other than subsistence (lie of suggestion)(debunked) 5) That status hierarchy was not a necessity of survival of the species (debunked) 6) The possibility of ending scarcity (debunked) 7) The inescapability of and incalculability of redistributive choices – rather than “death panels” (debunked) 8) The malleability of human behavior (debunked) 9) a society as a family – rather than a competition (debunked) 10) The exploitation of labor – rather than that labor is the primary beneficiary of capitalism (debunked) 11) The possibility of a worker revolution (debunked) 12) The possibility of the competency of workers in the organization of production distribution and trade (debunked) 13) That man was oppressed – rather than domesticated (debunked) 14) The possibility of suppression of markets of self interests without a totalitarian government to maintain it (debunked) 15) That capitalist countries would cause worker revolution – rather than peasant societies (debunked) 16) The (teleological) prediction that societies would move toward socialism or communism – rather than the opposite (debunked) 17) That socialism to communism could possibly function anywhere – despite all the failed attempts (debunked) 18) The possibility of a stateless social order (the restoration of semitic tribalism under the great empires) – given all of the above (debunked) WHY? 1) Marxism was “built on sand”: a long list of false premises. 2) Marx took smith and ricardo not to incrementally explain but claim solution and to advocate for revolt. 3) Marxism (peasant class – jewish) had a huge impact because it was the competitor to utilitarianism (middle class-british) and social contract theory (working class french), both of which required more developed societies with more middle class talent. CAUSE 1) Marx simply advance the semitic group strategy of the levant, which was the codification of the female strategy against the dominant males, and the slave against the empire: parasitism in exchange for submission, approval, affecting, care, and sex, rather than undermining if needs and wants not satisfied. We do not yet know if this strategy is genetic (that they have reversed or moderated cognitive dimorphism) although it appears to be and persists over outbred generations. Or whether it is cultural or the degree to which is is both. What we do know is that female vs male cognitive bias is genetic in origin and that the ‘stereotypes’ of the genders (at list within a pair of overlapping distributions) are in fact true. 2) —“Marx was trapped in Hebrew prophet mode where only he – the chosen one – had the secret of history and the future. Like a typical Abrahamic folk tale this one has a beginning in innocence (state of nature familial communism) and fall from grace (private property, capitalism) and a redemption and end of history (global communism). 

Like many things Hebraic it was a beguiling tale to bait people into moral hazard by false pretense of authority and insight, and promise of escape from the constraints of scarcity, voluntary exchange and the reality of distributed information and the consequent necessity of price signals for the sufficiently un-fragile organization of production distribution and trade.”—By Scott De Warren) That’s enough for now.
