  • The Choice of Values Is a Luxury Good Produced by Your Polity

    Feb 10, 2020, 8:36 PM When you say you hold X values:

    (a) What are you not accounting for and not accounting for? (b) How does your opinion hold up against the kantian imperative, ‘if everyone did that then’? (Which is just the same as the conservative intuition). (c) How does your opinion hold up against the kantian imperative in competition with hostile parties within your polity intent on depriving you of your choice or preference? (d) How does your opinion hold up against the kantian imperative in competition with hostile parties external to your polity intent on depriving you of your choice or preference? (e) So again, what are you accounting for, or failing to account for? Values only matter within the limits of the market for tolerance of them in the circumstance – in other words, values are a luxury good produced by reciprocity within the limits of proportionality within the limits of the available geography, ecology, political ecology, economy, location, and time and space. Demands (Necessities) vs Preferences (Values)

  • Answer to Today’s Question

    Feb 10, 2020, 8:43 PM by Stephen Thomas

    –“What’s your position on (hostile political) ‘critics’ that we have seen Israel, the Saudis, and the Russians execute?”–

    Define “critic”. 1) Is the critic exposing factual information or behavior showing violations of Natural Law? Or 2) Is the critic simply whining about having failed to have his wants served by others? Or 3) Is the critic engaging in ORRGSM (subversion) and causing damage to the Commons with their lies? The first is necessary to protect the Commons from parasites (EMAS). The second is well… pathetic and sometimes healthy. Venting to avoid potential turmoil. The 3rd is unacceptable and must be stopped. Assassination is usually extreme but sometimes warranted. So, the critic defines the validity of the response. A critic should also provide solutions or their words have no legitimacy.

    CD: note how Stephen based his argument on the natural law, and used a series(precision), and then answered with the series rather than a single ideal type (average). This is how you answer questions in natural law.

  • Ruining Good Art Is Explicitly Written in The Goals for Communism

    Ruining Good Art is explicitly written in the goals for communism:

    23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. “Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.” https://www.citizenreviewonline.org/2010/Jun/communism.html —Alfred Wittmann

  • “What’s Your Vision for Post Majoritarian America, Europe, Western Civilization?”

    Feb 11, 2020, 8:06 AM

    —“Do you wish to implement a caste system in America? And, if so what would it be regarding: racial based or social status based?”—Amit Patel

    Are parties castes? No. Are tribes castes? no. Are classes castes? Close but no – a class is alterable by demonstrated behavior, but a caste isn’t. The reason for european success in the ancient and modern world is sovereignty, and sovereignty requires markets in every aspect of life, and markets produce continuous adaptation and evolution without political consensus and intervention. I want to create markets in everything, where we may not seek to circumvent those markets in display word or deed without severe consequences. In politics i want to recreate the market between the classes for the production of commons – using houses of the classes in the traditional British european model. And a market for polities that produce those commons suitable to the needs of different people, in the traditional european model – particularly the hundreds of princedom’s in the german holy roman empire. For some of us we will prefer the English, Prussian, Germanic, orderly, clean, aesthetic, homogenous, redistributive, civil society where most of our investments are in the commons. For others they will prefer the ‘latin, catholic, leisurely, communal life of the family with state (feudal) responsibility for the commons. For others the individual they prefer the cosmopolitan (jewish) urban, high stimulation, high consumption, high opportunity, low responsibility, low investment in the commons. For others they will prefer the close membership and mutual insurance of the semitic hyper familial tribe, at the high cost of the many externalities, including demand for authoritarian religion and state.
