HOW TO ARGUE WITH THE HERD: “SEPARATION DOES NOT REQUIRE SUBJUGATION”
(but without separation subjugation is not only necessary, but unavoidable.)
From The Other Half:
—“Hi Curt, Thanks for your answer. I’m happy to be thought an Abrahamist, Abraham being a man who defied the moral rules of his tribe in obedience to an inner voice, as the artists who gave us the Western canon have always done. You strategically left the artist out of your taxonomy in #5 above, but included him as a mystic and escapist in #7. The fact that you can’t see a difference between mysticism and escapism says to me that my secular theology can encompass your materialism, but the latter can only deal with my position by reducing and trivializing it. You say you’re seeking to understand and improve the world, but I see Marxist levels of hubris and folly in the assumption that you can understand and improve it with the limited equipment you’re using viz. mathematics and economics. …. Your morality as I understand it is imposed by authority and obeyed by people who don’t want the responsibility of thinking about situations that don’t admit of binary answers, whereas the morality of the artist is internally generated by a part of him that is not his sociological self. This morality is what true sovereignty looks like, though few of us are capable of it at this point in our development as it involves the willingness to be in a minority of one. Hence the temptation of authoritarian answers to postmodern anomie. Ironically, your assumption that art is the arena of competing, positive moral norms is one that you share with the postmodernists, even if they prefer the term ideology to morality. ….. In contrast, Mailer’s line about the key to the universe being a metaphor and not a measure, recognises that artists are always smarter than ideologues and moralists. The line was in fact written in response to the first moon landing, a technological achievement of the kind of computing intelligence you apply to everything, and an example of how poorly materialists imagine transcendence of present problems. Launching a phallic rocket at the moon just to be the first one to do it is trivially heroic when set beside the world’s mythologies and literatures in which the moon was a goddess who punishes transgression as Diana did Actaeon’s, though I’m sure few people at NASA worried about the ramifications in the collective unconscious of their achievement. America’s subsequent hegemony and the atomisation of the body politic won’t I think be undone by propertarianism except possibly in a parodic way. A real body politic would have to be held together by a morality that comes from the inner life that you don’t believe in, where we reckon with sexual difference in a way that doesn’t involve subjugation.”—John Tangney
“SEPARATION DOES NOT REQUIRE SUBJUGATION.”
Paragraph one makes no argument it consists of straw manning and critique. to propose and argument you would have to construct one that states that Physical Fitness, Training in the Virtues (self authoring), literature, history, law, economics, science, logic, and mathematics have, must, or can produce worse outcomes than Mysticism, Occult, sophism, pseudoscience, philosophy and theology. I mean. I’ve done the work. that won’t happen. The second argument you’d have to make is that you aren’t simply covering for low, sexual, social, economic, political, and military value and simply self medicating your way out of reality. The third that you’re not using self medication, justifying it, and demanding others pay for it.
A’ll I”m saying is that separation between the feminine (you) and the masculine (us) group strategies is beneficial to both, but if not beneficial can be solved by conquest, prosecution, and law. But that is better than another dark age of ignorance produced by people like yourself addicted and demonstrating addiction responses, to self medication.
Achievement is superior to self medication. That is a judgement. And since I am not willing to let you spread addiction to self medication to future generations as people like you did in the past, destroying the great civilizations and bringing about a dark age of dysgeneia poverty disease and ignorance, the there are only a few choices for people like me and people like you: Extermination, Conquest and rule, Separation, or surrender.
History shows that for europeans, trying to domesticate others turns out to be our end through outbreeding since the majority underclass wins. Ergo, separation.
We were speciating (races) before agrarianism. Agrarianism is over. We can easily return to speciation – we can afford to. Hence, separate, prosper, and gradually speciate.
I have no problem leaving you and yours (the herd) behind, while me and mine (many packs), continue to drag ourselves into the gods you need to govern you. 😉
Upon separation, all the 20th century will have done is assisted in the ‘culling’ of our remaining undomesticated demi-humans. It will advanced our evolutionary progress by two thousand years. (HOw is that for a counter-proposition of our inequality, undesirability of defective and defectors, and our disgust at cohabitation with you. 😉
Revolt, Separate, Prosper, Speciate. May the best group win.
– Cheers
BTW: my background is in fine art. In fact, I’m teaching a class on art starting next semester. And as usual it will be as good or better than the best universities. 😉

FROM THE THEOLOGICAL TO THE LITERARY – ANSWERING A COMPETENT CRITIC.
(useful)
—“Certain kinds of allegorical story try to teach a moral but most of what we consider great literature instead dramatizes a question like what does it mean to be a hero, or is it possible to find meaning in the world that we haven’t placed there ourselves? These questions don’t have univocal answers which is why we find the dramatizations more interesting than anybody’s opinion about such matters. We hate poetry that has palpable designs on us, as Keats said. Also, the dramatizing of ambiguous questions creates the beauty that “tease[s] us out of thought” and is the real payload of these stories, rather than some socially utilitarian archetype that you install in people like software, even if it’s open-source software. Beauty can be found in a postmodern novel like The Crying of Lot 49 as readily as in a heroic story like the Odyssey, or indeed in the wisdom books of the old testament, or the writings of medieval mystics. I think Norman Mailer was right that if the universe is a lock then the key is a metaphor, not a measure, but then he belonged to the class of intellectuals who haven’t given up on the question of why there’s something rather than nothing and therefore placed more importance on the inner life as a source of sovereignty than on being a member of a pack, the inner life being that by virtue of which we are incommensurable. I’m new here, but initial signs are that planet Doolittle is a place for people who have prematurely closed their accounts with reality.”— John Tangney
—
John,
Intelligent, Articulate, Traditional, Conventional, but just another take on secular theology, closing with self service, contradiction, and error – and entirely missing the point of the challenges of the present, the purpose of my work, what I’m doing here with followers and lurkers, and the post.
1 – What faculties are you advocating exercising – and why? What faculties are those following me seeking to exercise?
2 – You use experiential terms for entertainment, or mindfulness, or escapism, as if they are moral goods, when they are simply forms of consumption, avoidance, and escape – self medication. Yet people who follow me are seeking the capacity to understand, improve, and act – particularly to act to change the current conflict.
3 – You ‘appear’ to assume that knowledge of right action, morality, and the virtues is complicated. It isn’t. it’s actually trivial, and can be taught by allegory, analogy, history, and rule. The difference is that what is objectively moral (what we do here) and what is subjectively open to interpretation as moral, are the difference between truth and preference.
4 – There is a very good reason Women, Mailer, and someone like you prefer the ‘undecidable’ metaphor, and Men, Aristotle, and someone like me, prefers the ‘decidable’ rule. The first conveys meaning while preserving the ability to cheat, the second conveys rule and eliminates the ability to cheat.(See my post earlier today to Eric Weinstein).
5 – The warrior prefers the conflict, the judge the law, the merchant the ability to weasel and negotiate, the women the ability to bait and not deliver, and the thief the ability to predate. We know your moral pretense by which degree of moral intolerance/intolerance you advocate (demand).
6 – Where you assume people are programmed or resistant to programming (a) they ARE programmed, and (b) they ARE resistant to programming, because they search for confirmation of their personal survival, consumptive, and reproductive strategies. In other words, people seek programming that they want. And norm encourages, and the law enforces rules that they must obey even if they contradict with the programming that they have sought.
7 – So as a specialist in the ‘Grammars’ (paradigms of programming and decidability) it’s quite obvious that you’re invested in a form of escapism (and perhaps denialism) that is indifferent from Mysticism, Theology, Idealism, Utopianism, Fictionalism, Self Medication, or drug use. Where most here are looking for non-escapism. For the opposite. FOR AGENCY.
So it is not that I or we escape reality – it is that we seek to understand it, and take advantage of it. It is those who seek sedation that seek to escape reality.
QUESTIONS/PROBLEMS I SEEK TO ANSWER/SOLVE
How do we end lying in economics, politics, and law?
How do we solve the conflict of our current attempts at speciation by moral intuition (left-feminine, right-masculine)?
How do we end the systematic destruction of western civilization which is the only one to produce a high trust labor, working, middle, and professional class?
How do we prevent another abrahamic dark age of ignorance, superstition, and dysgenia?
I am one of the most innovative thinkers working today.
That is not a compliment to myself. It is a criticism of the current state of thought – and the near loss of the 20th century – and the second fall of Europa.
Affections.
Curt

DEFLATING AND DISAMBIGUATING VIRTUE SIGNALS
In Response to: @Bret Weinstein
(important concept)
Never tolerate virtue signaling, moral pretense, and solving for consensus as substitutes for decidable truth, full accounting of costs and returns, and solving the underlying problem of conflict. NO MORE LIES IN SOCIAL POLITICAL ECONOMIC AND LEGAL SCIENCE
The technique of “Baiting into moral hazard, by false promise, then defending with sophism, psychologizing, and moralizing, pseudoscience, and mysticism as seeking sympathetic cover for existential free riding, parasitism predation” is something I have studied thoroughly.
It is the female strategy of baiting calories with promise of approval, advocacy, attention, care, and sex – decreasing opportunity costs, without delivering – asymmetry of rewards. And using the opposite: disapproval, shaming, ridicule, gossip, rallying, and reputation destruction to defend her attempts.
Each civilization competes with the strategy available at the time of their foundational narrative, from the male to the female, originating in : Steppe > Tundra > Chinese > Japanese/Korean > European > Indian > Semitic(Hosted) > Gypsy (hosted).
Each civilization relies upon a method of negotiation, persuasion, argument, and law, that both in the past and present serves that competitive strategy. One can speak painfully truthfully under sovereignty and reciprocity and therefore non-conflict, or one can speak painfully deceptively under ir-reciprocity and subjection (non-sovereignty).
Each civilization competes against western Sovereignty/Reciprocity, Truth(Testimony)/Duty, Full Accounting/’Scientific’/Warrantied speech in literature, history, economics, natural law of reciprocity (tort), physical science, logic, and mathematics – by trying to preserve it’s frauds.
Once you see it, you can’t ‘unsee’ it.
My job, and the job of any philosopher in the 21st century, is to ensure EVERYONE SEES IT.
(These strategies are all open to evolutionary analysis.)
