    In other words, without the COMPETITION between rational distance from your emotions, and pursuit of achievements in life, all one does is recreate abrahamic and buddhist detachment from reality. This produces no excellences, only defenses – submission to circumstance.

    But what troubles me when I survey your (collective) approach, which is the imbalance between defensive self help and detachment – the trap fallen into by the Buddhists – and disciplined self-authoring in the excellences (‘virtues’), and in achieving one’s life’s goals (change).

    Those polities are superior because they are less dependent upon falsehoods to govern. So the direction of the Stoic Restoration has more than trivial importance to me, and to them.

  • THE CURRENT CRISIS IS A LACK OF LOVE by Noah J Revoy Emotions are deeply connect

    THE CURRENT CRISIS IS A LACK OF LOVE

    by Noah J Revoy

    Emotions are deeply connected to motivation, especially love. Pure self control isn’t sufficient for long term motivation. We can’t be tyrannical masters over ourselves for long without our body and mind rebeling. We need a mix of systems to keep us acting correctly.

    Love of self motivates personal growth and care.

    Love of our people motivates us to treat them well, to protect them and to follow social customs.

    Love of truth leads us to be intolerant of lies.

    The problem is that love needs to be kept in check by reason. I decide on a course of action with my reason but I implement it with motivation I get from emotions.

    The weakness of whites today is a lack of love for self and ingroup such that threats to the ingroup do not activate righteous anger. When we tolerate everyone we love no one. Only the intolerant can possibly love anything with all their heart.

    The biggest challenge is not teaching knowledge, its helping people to create motivation. Most people are apathetic to their own lives.

    They haven’t been truly loved so they don’t know how to love themselves and create lives they can love. Igniting that fire is key to getting results.

    Yes. Like many things our ‘taste’ consists of personal associations (subjective) to objective measures. “Your taste is a measure of you, not art.” So like vocabulary, or manners, or style, or other opinion, we retain some constant values, but learn to improve our taste: a skill.

    EMOTIONS TELL US SOMETHING. BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE CORRECT, USEFUL, OR WISE.

    —“Hatred Is also Scarce resource to be acted upon.”–Jaromír Miškovský

    Well, that’s not true. Like all emotions, the emotion of hatred tells you something. Hatred tells you that you must invest heavily in eliminating a threat to you and yours. It is the instinct for Altruistic (costly) Punishment taken to its limits.

    On the other hand, it causes you to think very poorly, and act foolishly.

    So:

    Turn rage to hatred,

    hatred to anger,

    anger to resolution,

    resolution to conviction,

    conviction to investigation,

    investigation to plan,

    plan to action,

    action to completion.

    Hate, Like Fear, Weakens the Mind.

  • The Great Intellectual Challenge of the 21st Century Do You Have A Healthy Perso

    The Great Intellectual Challenge of the 21st Century

    Do You Have A Healthy Personality? Researchers Think They Can Tell You

    regarding: https://psyarxiv.com/prdnf/

    I am almost positive that the very idea of such a normative personality is yet another example of the freudian attempt at enforcing conformity.

    As far as I know big 5/6 + IQ personalities cluster in three groups, around what we’d conventionally call conservative male, ascendent male, and female stereotypes (that research is out this year).

    As far as I know the range of personality variations – including what we consider anti-social personalities – are useful to KIN GROUPS, and that the ‘industry’ is still ‘stuck’ in that bias of the industrial, freudian, monopoly-of-conformity of individuals and ‘individualism’ as an excuse for mandated conformity, rather than the historical division of perception, cognition, and labor and social (hierarchical) tripartism of kin groups.

    This persistent ‘error’ in the soft (projected) ‘sciences’, is, as far as my work goes, the central problem of thought in the 21st century. We are still trying to overcome the monopoly authoritarianism of Boas, Marx, Feud, Adorno et all, Derrida et al, and the feminists et al that sought to take advantage of the democratic novelty to obtain power.

    And the 21st century, beginning within the next decade, will consist largely of the transformation of the soft sciences into hard sciences reflecting groups rather than individuals – because the ‘individualism'(ideal) movement has failed. We evolved as a division of perceptual, cognitive, negotiative, and advocative labor across the generations, among members of kin groups functioning as an intertemporal network of ‘calculation’ of choices.

    The reason people are unhappy is the attempt to create ‘complete’ individuals instead of ‘complete’ kin groups.
