Yeah. Um. That was 1957 he was thinking about.

“Our enemies are animals, combating them isnt cruelty. It is an act of love and
“Our enemies are animals, combating them isnt cruelty. It is an act of love and absolute devotion to humanity” — Aaron Catlin Styles.
Human?
My definition of human is someone with whom I can cooperate with for reciprocal benefit. My definition of livestock is one that I must manage or maintain – a slave. My definition of animal is one whom I cannot cooperate with nor manage, nor maintain – a resource, a pest, a parasite, or a predator.
One acts as a Human, Livestock, or Animal. What one looks like, or speaks is immaterial. I cannot cooperate with an ape, I may not be able to domesticate it without incurring a net loss. So it remains a resource at best and a pest or parasite or predator under other conditions.
If we cannot cooperate or domesticate a creature it is not human: someone with whom we can cooperate with in the production of goods, services, and information, family, and generations, commons and defense.

GOOD CRITICS HELP YOU PRODUCE GREAT WORK
(more on heroism and the west)
A good critic is a precious thing. I love good criticism. I make most of my progress on tough issues because I’m challenged by good critics. And unfortunately, good critics are rare. Frank Lovell, Ayelam Valentine Agaliba, Josh Jeppson, Adam Voight, Bruce (I forget his name), and a few others have been particularly influential in providing criticism that was deep enough that I was able to make progress using it.
Josh has been pushing me very hard for over a year on Aryanism and has clearly sensed it from an individual rather than social point of view (conceptual grammar so to speak).
I have an ‘impersonal’ view of Aryanism – or all social orders for that matter. I think more in production, costs, logistics, and strategy like general, or a governor, than in the tactics, and rewards, and experiences of a warrior. So I tend to think of the resources necessary to conduct war using training and technology, rather than the inspiration of the individuals who do the fighting. I would rather give them material confidence in weapons, and strategy, than inspiration on the field. I am not a fan of poetic speech. A soldier who has material confidence does not need inspiration if he thinks he will win. And it is the abilty to win without inspiration that I seek to provide.
But that doesn’t mean that don’t recognize truth in criticisms.
And it wasn’t until last night that Josh voiced his criticism in a way that I could sleep on it a bit, and convert it to ‘scientific’ language.
And while Axial-Age epistemology (the social order of power at the time), and the various concepts of truth therein are probably the first differentiators between the intellectual traditions of cultures and civilizations, I think the normative channeling of dominance that results from that social order in the axial age, is an insight that can help explain far more about various civilizations than can truth alone.
Heroism is interesting in that it trains us from birth, not to suppress dominance but to channel it toward commons-producing ends. This individual competition for dominance by positive means is what produces over time the high trust society, in the same way it produced a high trust warrior ruling-class that we call ‘Aryanism’.
i suspect that if I do the research (which might be expensive or time-consuming) that testimonial martial truth(bearing a cost) and heroism(bearing a cost), and dominance (demonstrating superiority empirically) produce a market for excellence in all walks of life. And that this market ‘calculates’ excellence, and is the CAUSE of our interest in economic markets that ‘calculate’ excellences as well.
i will continue to work with this for a while. But the central insight that Truth, Heroism, and Dominance Markets calculate faster than the alternative social orders, fits well with my prior arguments that common law calculates suppression of parasitism faster, and that markets calculate innovations faster, and that frequent small wars calculate innovations faster, and that many small nations calculate innovations faster.
And that the reason for the rapid advancement of the west in the ancient and modern worlds has been that we simply ‘calculate'(adapt and innovate) faster. And so it is not impressive if “china got there first’ so to speak, simply because they started first. The question is rather, what model will continually outpace all other models in innovation regardless of wealth and regardless of population size.
And I think that is the answer to western civilization.
We are not first we are fastest.
Dominance, Sovereignty, Heroism, Truth, Voluntary Militia: The only possible institutions under that set of values are markets. And markets like cavalry that makes choices, are faster than footsoldiers that follow orders.
it’s that simple.

—“They will rally against us with the criticism of ‘dehumanization’ when we can consistently return the criticism with ‘romanticism and pseudoscience’: in other words – you’re just lazy. Confusing conviction with convenience. We are confused. We don’t conflate. We’re men of the west. They are the enemy because they are predatory parasitic animals, and animals need us to domesticate them to make the world safe for Humans.”—Curt Doolittle

I will propose the third angle:
That property rights increase incentives, ideation, productivity, risk tolerance, opportunity creation, monetary and economic velocity. And as a consequence produce higher returns ( commissions or taxes ) for the minority who imposed property rights over the objections of the rent seeking majority. And as a consequence upward distribution of returns slowly domesticates ( reduces the reproduction of ) the lower classes, further accelerating cooperation.
This is in fact the process that occurred in Europe.
Painful truths are still truths.

RORTY is just a skeptic. He has no philosophy. He gives us none. His work is simply excuse making (not even justification) of power seeking of the left.

A Few Personal Notes on Rorty
5-Literature 4-Religion 3-Philosophy (Moral Entrepreneurs) 2-Intellectual History 1-History 0-Law 1-Science —Curt Tautology(necessary), Proof(possible), Rational(potential), Literature(meaningful) —Curt We are all relying upon narratives that provide decidability for the purpose of pursuing allies in the achievement of a condition, not truth. We only rely upon a truthful narrative when it assists us attracting allies in the achievement of a condition. –Curt Shinto when we’re born, Confucian when we’re adolescent, Christian when we’re married, Buddhist when we die. — Japanese Saying Rationality – in that one consents to be persuaded – is a social virtue not a human faculty. Reason is a human faculty. Rationality is a moral virtue – a property of cooperation. — Rorty restated by Doolittle “It’s not a surprise that religion, democracy, and science, are in conflict: power.”–Rorty “Another sense of philosophy describes how various ideas fit together.” — Rorty. Well, I would say that philosophy consists of logic (necessity), criticism (science), integration(rationality), advocacy(moral literature), and imagining (fantasy literature). And that religion conflates advocacy, imagining, and Law (force). –Curt “if we take care of education and democratic freedom then truth will take care of itself”–Dewey. Well, it turns out that Dewey/Rorty are wrong. Just the opposite. – Curt Judaism is, like American pragmatism, a feminine philosophy, in that consequences to the commons are irrelevant. All that matters is the consequences to those collectively extant in the moment. — Curt Rorty makes the progressive error of the steady-state. We always fight the red queen. We have lost that under the temporary prosperity of industrialism. But the red queen has shifted just as crime has shifted. We compete against economies and resources and institutions, not against farming and territory and demographics. — Curt What objectively right vs objectively better = Survival of your gene pool. It is objectively right, and objectively better. — Curt
