    (Someone want to tell me why assistant secretaries general of the UN are trying to friend me? I don’t suppose that my support for monarchy is the reason?)

    DAILY DOSE OF ODIN

    I love ordering another coffee in Russian. “Another one, please” is “yeshche odin , pozhaluysta”. Because I get to ask for another Odin every single day. 🙂 And it makes me laugh every time.

    UNPREDICTABLE JOURNEY

    I started out on this journey simply because watching my people unable to argue their values on television was so painful that I needed to give them a language to do so.

    Well yeah.

    Now I will give them the moral argument to take their civilization back, and the institutional framework to restore and preserve it.

    Overachiever I guess.

    lol

    APPLE PRODUCT SACRILEGE!

    V, having her lunch, just cracked a hard boiled egg on her 11″ Macbook Air.

    And grinned at me afterward.

    Sigh. 🙂

    NO ONE LOVES A SLAYER OF GODS

    (lament)(stat of affairs)

    You know, I’m slaying my own gods. Which, I don’t think other people appreciate. 🙂

    It takes a lot of guts to slay your own gods. What are you left with, when you have slain them? Yourself.

    But you cannot say you pursue truth if you are not wiling to slay your gods if they are false gods. You merely pursue comfort or confirmation. Not truth.

    So we have now Mises, Rothbard and Popper – all of whom are half right and half tragically wrong because of their use of pseudoscience and verbalism to attempt to expand the cosmopolitan social norms of the insular ghetto to the rest of the world. Just as we white folk have tried to apply northern european high trust norms to the rest of the world. Just as the Muslims wish to. Just as the Germans tried to.

    But you see, democracy is itself a folly, while truth telling, property rights, the common law, and the militial guarantee of property rights and the common law, have allowed us the luxury of limited democracy in the past. And we tried to export democracy rather than truth telling, property rights, the common law, and militial guarantee of property rights and the common law.

    But worse, the jewish system failed them. They have been murdered and persecuted for their system, and nearly eradicated outside of Europe, and only not eradicated in Europe because of anglos.

    So Huntington’s clash of civilizations, and Kotin’s tribes turn out to be a fairly accurate description of the state of the world. We have tried the enlightenment (anglo) model, and while science has succeeded, democracy has failed. We have tried the french model and it is currently failing catastrophically. We have tried the jewish model and it has been an unmitigated disaster for the west. We have tried the german model, and we crushed it.

    The enlightenment political ambition – the promise of universalism – has been a catastrophic failure everywhere we have taken it.

    It may not be clear to the people who follow me yet, but the highest correspondence between human institutions, truth, science, and therefore correspondence with reality. is constructed by truth, property, the common law, and scientific inquiry. And truth is only desirable to a minority of peoples. For most, truth, and therefore, property, liberty, are only available to a minority of peoples.

    Universalism is done unless it is conducted at the lowest common denominator.

    ( Just bought peaches and plums at the stand outside. Fruit in Ukraine just tastes amazing. As long as you don’t have to earn a living here, living here is awesome. 🙂 )

    WHY BLAME THE OTHER GUY, INSTEAD OF BLAMING YOURSELF?

    The reason you are conquered is that you are weak enough to be. Why are you weak enough to be conquered? Fix what is wrong with your civilization, rather than criticize your attacker. Understand why you are weak enough to be attacked.

    We failed because we are altruistic. Not entirely, but more than anyone else.

    Our high trust has a down side.

    We just experienced a century of it.

    YOU CAN COUNT ON WOMEN TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH

    (humor)

    So Tati lives in NYC, is Russian, from Tblisi, and I haven’t seen here since I’ve been in Ukraine. She gets off the plane, gives me a hug, fusses over me a bit, and here is what she proceeds to say:

    1) You’re fat (couched as I am the victim of ukrainian food)

    2) You’ve got more grey (couched as you look distinguished)

    3) You look like a local gangster (couched as you dress like you fit in.)

    lol. You know who your friends are because they tell you the truth.

    Love you Tati.

    Welcome to Ukraine.

    -Curt
