    PETERSON is advancing good morals by immoral means: conflationary programming. That’s the problem. The construction of intuitional responses (training in preferences) rather than the construction of rational responses (training in decidability).

    FIRST TO GET THIS OFF THE TABLE

    —“I wish I could assume that you are acting in good faith”—

    Well I will tell you how I DO NOT act in good faith:

    I dont have a classroom to experiment on students. I don’t have a research budget, and I dont have graduate students (indentured labor) to conduct experiments for me. What I do have is access to a very inexpensive medium for experimenting with arguments.

    In my process of inquiry, I work very hard to construct conditions under which I can obtain what I consider honest or truthful information, vs reported information.

    I work very had to understand how and why people hold positions, and to test my theories against those positions. So all my arguments are tests. I iterate these tests about ten times before they seem to be fairly good, and then over the next few years refine them until I can state them as aphorisms or series, or something incredibly dense – effectively as verbal proofs. I construct proofs.

    This work requires that I ‘get inside the heads’ of the people who hold these positions, and then reduce those positions to a series of testable criteria (incentives) regardless of position.

    And since I am a philosopher of science, and a falsificationist, I do this by attacking ideas until I see if and how they survive – or not. So I investigated sovereign monarchism, classical liberalism, libertarianism, anarcho capitalism, neoreaction, and now the ‘nazis’ with sympathy to understand them then I attack those ideas to falsify them. And what remains is a set of ‘goods and bads’ from each model.

    In other words, in some ways, because I treat everyone I interact with in business and intellectual life, as a participant in an experiment, I am continually operating under conditions that you might consider disingenuous in the moment but profoundly moral in the end result.

    I learned most of this technique negotiating (i have bought a lot of companies, closed a lot of deals, and done deals that were meritous and some I regret today as immoral. But I see my chief problem in negotiation, simply living in a world full of relative upper class scoundrels, educated imbeciles and underclass zombies, and a middle and working class that appears to consist of the only moral people extant in western society, and they are the ones that least benefit from the current order – because they are being exterminated by it.)

    Now, there are a good number of people who follow me that know exactly what I am doing. And I think it is this form of cunning they appreciate almost as much as the output of my work. But in my world I am literally nothing more than a scientist using verbal experiments to investigate the human mind so that I can construct a body of law that will reverse the beneficiaries of the western order, and restore tehm to the middle and working classes, and save my people and our priceless civilization in doing so.

    So if that ‘disenginuity’ makes me immoral somehow in your world because I am ‘using’ people, when they are voluntarily engaging in these discussions, and I have to do nothing more than stand on the top of the hill and say I’m the king in order to get them to play this very elaborate verbal game, then I think you practice a woman’s morality, rather than a man’s. I take responsibiilty for not only myself, but for my people and for mankind, and I do so by asking people to play a game with me that they wilingly play, are entertained by, and learn from.

    Frankly, if I didn’t have so much respect for you I wouldn’t say this but I know you are a moral man. What actually bothers me is that in my view the cost of dealing with all these shitty selfish people in all these ridiculous niches of political masturbation tires the hell out of me. But just as we must go live among the animals to understand them, and bear the costs and risks of doing so, I must do the same with every shitty immoral, selfish, justificationary, eddy of the human political tidal pool.

    That is the truth as I am most capable at the moment of speaking it.

    Just ask questions you dimwitted f–ks. I promise that you are too stupid to be able to criticize my arguments, because you’re too stupid to f—king understand them.. From what I can gather from followers, to actually get anywhere requires a 130 IQ, or exceptional reading comprehension – and the guys who master it well are all above 140 if not 150. But ordinary guys can make use of the basic arguments all day long. I’m a conservative argument weapons manufacturer. So just see if you can use them. Ask questions. I’m generous with good manners. and I’m happy to help you use these new weapons. But if you’re a hate-maker, or meme-er, or propagandist rather than debater, then I’m not your guy. I’m sick of the arrogance of ignorant disenfranchised, self-delusional youth up against a constant barrier of dunning-kruger and desperately searching for some bit of self confidence and argumentative power to compensate for real life impotency, weaknesses and underachievement.

    fuk. I’m decent guy. Who else does this shit? Moly? fuk. Color me pissed this week.

  • DEAR IGNORANT F—KS. PLEASE MAKE YOUR STATEMENTS WITH LESS CONFIDENCE AND MORE

    DEAR IGNORANT F—KS. PLEASE MAKE YOUR STATEMENTS WITH LESS CONFIDENCE AND MORE QUESTION SO THAT I DON’T HAVE TO WASTE MY TIME CORRECTING YOUR IDIOCY.

    —“He also ignores that Marxism and Fascism descend from Platonism. Fascism is the Republic playing out in real life.”— A NEWB

    I don’t ignore any of that at all. And I’ve written on that subject elsewhere. the OP asked a question about what we got from those cities. I gave a brief answer.

    Fascism is not the zenith of western thought, it is merely a temporary solution to the problem of universalism by applying napoleonic total war to economics and political conflict more so than military conflict. Its just the equivalent of appointing a roman general as dictator in time of war.

    The zenith of western thought is sovereignty, natural law, and the markets in everything, by which the aristocracy domesticates the animal man for profit.

    positioning fascism as a zenith is both ignorant of the cause, consequence, and limits, as well as ignorant of the factors that differentiate western eugenic rule from eastern dysgenic rule.

    What the Fascists did at the time was use the new media to create an AESTHETIC movement for Fascism, to replace the religious aesthetic that had been lost by the scientific and darwinian revolutions. Propaganda and control of expensive media made it possible. But it also made the lies of marxists possible.

    We have moved warfare from multiple agents within territories, to state monopoly of warfare between territories, to state and credit total war between territories, to economic and credit warfare between territories, to principally finance and trade war between territories limited only by nuclear war.

    Just as we have moved predation from raids to the suppression of violence, then theft, then fraud, then conspiracy, and slowly through economic predation (fraud) and now we are at the fringes of suppressing financial predation (state credit and financialization) and suppressing fraud in all aspects of propagandizing.

    We always shift the war but we still conduct it.

    So in closing, I don’t feel the need (given my volume of work) to make every argument in every post. And the post above – as an answer to a simple question – did not warrant it.

    cheers

  • REPORTER’S PRIMARY TRICK Force someone to reduce a complex set of ideas to a sou

    REPORTER’S PRIMARY TRICK

    Force someone to reduce a complex set of ideas to a sound bite, then develop a straw man criticism of the sound bit that will attract attention by violating the moral intuitions of as many people as possible.

    Remember, the press is always lying. They are all the product of the Culture of Critique and Critical Theory, not the product of western Natural Law and truthful testimony. They are gossips for profit, not jurors.

    THE TRUMP / NEGOTIATOR TRICK

    Give moral answers, general ‘goals’, and sew uncertainty as to details, so that the other side comes to the table having prepared for a multitude of eventualities, that make it costly and time consuming to obtain agreement upon.

    Feign preference for any of a set of ideas, meanwhile simply listing a priority of available terms that you are willing to accept.

    Bring an ultimate decider into the room, and then leave the other side scrambling to develop consensus, as you wear them down.

    Strike a deal, and when they come back to the table for more accuse them of bad faith, unethical conduct, incompetence, and disorganization.

    State your position as take it or leave it because the other side is not serious. Meanwhile keep leaking to the imbecilic press and whomever else is engaged in gossip for a living, that the other side is incompetent and dishonest.

    Walk away, say what you left on the table, and do what you left on the table that is in your interest.

  • “The British Empire and British Intelligence were the template for the American

    —“The British Empire and British Intelligence were the template for the American Empire and the CIA, which are pulling Western civilization and culture to the point of extinction.The Anglos should have never lost their German roots. That was the beginning of the end.”—Josh Jeppson

    I have slowly come to understand that as an anglo-american, Englishman, norman on one side, and breton on the other, that my intuitions that demand my rights as an Englishman, are rights of an anglo saxon, are rights of Germania, and rights of Aryan Europeans: reciprocity – or what we more romantically call Natural Law.

    And that America when founded was an anglo-saxon nation. A member of northern Europe and therefore of the civilization of greater Germania. And that sometime after the defeat of napoleon culminating with the parliament of Disraeli, the brits attempted to create a culture, a religion, of commercial greed at the expense of kin, culture. One that violated our ancient reciprocity.

    And by doing that the British adopted the dual ethics of the jews.

    And this caused a split between the individual responsibility and reciprocity of the germans as the means of spreading civilization. And the non-reciprocal ‘high mindedness’ of the jews was adopted by the british and still plagues the anglosphere today.

    Just as the Jews and British were motivated to adopt polyethical, virtue-signaling, moralism as their method of justifying their predation, the greed of the americans motivated them to acquire the british empire which they had so feared.

    British Aristocracy and what is left of us in American lesser aristocracy – those who follow our ancient ‘religion’ of incrementally expanding reciprocity – still practice the aristocratic ethos.

    But we are the minority – since we have let pandora out of the box: irreciprocity of the jews adopted by the british, inherited by the americans.

    There is no shortcut to natural law. And those who attempt it will be hated by all.

    NEWS IS JUST INDUSTRIALIZED GOSSIP AND NOTHING MORE

    Remember, the news media makes a profit from telling you outright lies that get your attention, so that they can sell advertising to commercial organizations, that profit from telling you half truths so that they can profit by getting your attention.

    If you hear gossip do you believe it? Or do you reserve judgement until you’ve heard both sides of the story? As human beings we believe gossip we want to be true and we disbelieve gossip that we don’t want to be true.

    This is the CHEAPEST and EASIEST way to confirm our biases. Because investigating the source and discovering what was actually said or done, is costly. We did not evolve to investigate what is true and false. We evolved to rally each other to our preferred ends by reinforcing one another’s cognitive biases, by gossiping to one another. Truth is not useful in rallying unless it is in your favor.

    All ‘news’ is just ‘gossip’. All reporters are just ‘gossips’.

    That’s all they are. Just as the gossips you know profit by getting attention that they seek from others. The media, the public intellectuals, the academy, the politicians, and the advertisers and marketers are just gossips.

    We are governed by gossip.

  • “CURT: Is Hobbes’ assessment of man the closest to Propertarianism?”— I think

    —“CURT: Is Hobbes’ assessment of man the closest to Propertarianism?”—

    I think that we are sort of between Hobbes and Locke, with a Hobbesian view of mankind but a Locke/Smith solution. I think Hobbes could not imagine institutional solutions and between Lock,Smith, and Jefferson, they tried to imagine and create them.

    Unfortunately the constitution was written as a rational prose that was the best of its time. But today we know how to strictly construct a constitution with nearly axiomatic precision that forces original intent, and prevents the judiciary from rule, in ways that the founders and their philosophers could not have imagined.

    Unfortunately, Hobbes was right about the need for monarchy (as Hoppe has illustrated convincingly). The government may function as an insurer of last resort, and the court as a law of last resort, but there is no synthesis in an individual with a time horizon of millennia to lay veto upon those incremental errors that creep through the social, intellectual, legal, process. Our constitution was destroyed not by a deliberate attack but by violating it after the civil war over western expansion, and then incrementally killing it by a thousand cuts with full and malicious intent by the socialists – the New Church.
