    I LOVE THESE PEOPLE

    Seriously. I want to just hug them at random. And I’d give into impulse and do it if I thought I could get away with it.

    Now, sure, I’m not yet sensitized to the cacophony of signals. And sure, I tend to broadcast my own, which positively colors the reactions of others to me in this environment.

    But that said. It seems that a smile and consideration are more valuable currencies here. More like the small towns that some of us still remember growing up in.

    I’m working on a bit of theory here that I’m trying to convert into propertarian language. I can’t quite do it yet.

    But we know that there is a small and maximum diversity if race, religion and culture that allows normative excellences to develop before these same interpersonal “calculations’ must be diverted to accommodative compromises.

    One easily visible example is the loss of rhyme, poetic expression, alliteration, subtlety and allegory, especially literary allegory from american English And it has had and will continue to have extraordinary consequences for not only norms, but the structure of the physical mind, and for the unarticulated habitual metaphysics of the population.

    We have diverted extraordinary efforts to accommodate diversity for no other reason than to preserve the monolithic state. Yet that monolithic state exists entirely for the purpose of conducting warfare. First to conquer and profit from the continent. Second to protect that continent from European adventurism. And finally to protect the west after its suicide, from communism.

    Now these habits are norms, and these norms embodied in socialist myth and political institutions. And our pursuit of excellences is abandoned in favor of compromises. not just in our language. But in dysgenic breeding and outbreeding.

    One can lament a ones culture. We have been lamenting ours for a century now.

    But lamenting is romantic. Institutions grounded in norms are functional technologies.

    We lost mortar and cement for what, the better part of thousand years? We lost reason for approximately the same.

    We lost literacy for as long

    The first Greeks lost writing for six hundred years.

    The path of civilization through time is not linear. It includes cataclysmic boundaries.

    The most expensive technologies to develop in any civilization are norms.

    Yet we treat them as given.

    EXPERIENCES

    Life is a collection of them.

    Every man envies and desires this one. And having lived it, they should.

    PERFECT

    Five star hotel. Heart of downtown Kiev. Victorian Decor. $120 per night. High speed internet. The best stocked refrigerator, mini-bar, and medicine cabinet I’ve ever seen. A desk staff that takes care of your every whim. And laundry service that even folds and irons your underwear.

    Second best day of my life. Absolute madness. In a good way. 🙂 Nothing beats PFS. But a couple of libertarian friends, a little alcohol, and a fun city comes pretty close.
