    Bill, you took a cut at developing a notation and I can’t find it. I want to give it a few hours of thought and see what I can do with it. Can you find it?

    —“Eli Harman, I may disagree with some of your views, but I am blown away with the level of intelligence, knowledge and civility I find when I am reading the posts and commentary on both yours and Curt Doolittle’s pages. Especially after Ive been debating Ivy league progressives for a while, it is simply astounding to see the obvious difference in verbal IQ and reasoning. I admit, its reassuring just to know that current human intelligence is leaning much farther in this direction, and not so much in the other”.—Candice Mary

    Argument by exposition of incentives to change in capital (property in toto) vs psychologism; persuasion by offers of exchange vs ridicule, shaming, rallying, guilt; truth vs falsehood in method of argument. In other words, we argue by what is true, voluntary, and productive, vs what is false, involuntary, and parasitic.

    We are not kin, we are not friends, we are not allies, and it appears that since you want to lie, cheat, and steal from our productivity; and not to engage in productive, fully informed, and warrantied exchange; and that we are enemies. so why should should I care of your ridicule, shaming, deception and theft – and, for that matter, why should I and mine – tolerate your existence?

    TODAY’S EXCERPT OF CHOICE

    (from chapter “Reforming the Academy”)

    —“It is in the nature of the incentives of Educators to strive to make men witty and cunning, rather than to strive to make them moral and wise. If in no small part, because they desire to be entertaining, desire to circumvent defense of their weak arguments, any challenge to which would undermine the students’ suspension of disbelief in their mastery of the subject.

    And because those who are instead moral and wise, choose more ethical, moral, and profitable careers. Education is no less sacred a ritual than any other. But it is performed by the least sacred of means. Otherwise they would warranty their product as does every other profession other than the priesthood and the politician.”—

    ANSWERS TO THREE BOOK QUESTIONS

    –“Curt, will the book be available for preorder?”—

    Um. Of course silly. But not until I feel I know an approximate ship date. It’s still a way off.

    —“Will you sign the books?”—

    Um. Of course, silly. 😉

    —“Is the conference happening in september?”–

    Yes, but Megan is in charge of that. I am just her puppet. lol

    But of course, yes, I’ll bring a work in progress with me to the conference as long as you folk don’t distract me too much. lol I am really easily distracted.

    If I am lucky I will have a lot of it done by then. Most probably.

    CULL THE WEAK OF CHARACTER

    by Daniel Gurpide

    I think Curt SHOULD also slaughter the sacred cows of Ariosophists, Traditionalists (with capital “T”) and the rest of that motley crew.

    Evola, for example, a third rate “philosopher” in the 20s and 30s, was brought back to life after world war II by the eternal losers: all those nostalgic Fascists and co. who thought they were winning the war – now in another reality dimension: their own delusional ‘phantasy’ world.

    In Evola, Guenon (even worse) and Heidegger (slightly better) there’s nothing but occultism, obfuscation, denial of reality, inferiority complex, biological and intellectual barrenness, impotence (mental and sexual).

    (CD: well that was pretty clear 😉 )
