  • I Don’t Do Utopia.

    Mar 30, 2020, 8:38 PM

    —“Curt. So what does your utopia look like? And upon what moral axiom is it constructed? The materialized Doolittle system, not the P methodology of coexistence.”—Gideon Green

    1. I don’t do utopia. I do the incremental improvement of the group strategy of the european peoples: sovereignty, reciprocity tested by the natural law of tort (demonstrated interest).

    2. Axioms are arbitrary. Laws are identified. Reciprocity is the natural law necessary for any creatures that can voluntarily cooperate and choose from fields of opportunities for voluntary cooperation, within the limits of survivability.

    3. The natural law is Sovereignty and Reciprocity, including speech (truthful speech) regardless of cost, within the limits of proportionality (ingroup defection) within the limits of the utility of cooperation (outgroups). This is the counter-intuitive reduction of western civilization.

    4. The extension of the natural law of reciprocity is the exhaustion of forgiveness (optimum solution to the prisoner’s dilemma) before retaliation, restitution, punishment, and prevention, with prevention escalating to extermination. (this is the counter-intuitive reduction of christianity).

    5. The resulting markets in everything: association, cooperation, reproduction, production, commons, polities, elites, and war. With the competition between elites maintained by tripartism: judge law, aristocratic military, and faith.

    6. The hierarchy of institutions the Law, the monarch as a judge of last resort, the cabinet, the house of nobility(territory), the house of industry (commons), and the house of the family (church), and the universal militia of every able bodied man.

    7. The principle enhancements of the P-constitution, are amendments to the English, British, American constitutions, that correct the weaknesses of those constitutions under the industrialization of lying of the 20th, by the marxists, postmodernists, feminists, and HBD-Denialists (political correctness) that are a revolt against the darwinian revolution that explained the reason for western success: rapid, adaptive excellence and the suppression of the reproduction of the underclass for the purposes of directing surpluses to the production of commons instead – because of the disproportionate returns on commons, including heroism, excellence, beauty, discipline, trust, truthful speech regardless of cost – and of course the institutions of sovereignty and reciprocity regardless of status assuming one does his duty of preservation of all of the above.

  • How About Checks and Balances at The Top??

    Mar 31, 2020, 10:40 PM First, there is very little federal government left. It consists almost exclusively of the military and treasury plus the insurer function of the treasury. The states are more like european states except that they share a military. (a) Monarchs are superior to presidents and prime ministers, prime ministers are superior to presidents, hired CEO’s are superior to prime ministers. Competing contractors are superior to bureaucracies. So Governors > Senate > Executives (Professional Cabinet) > Bureaucracies (Minimum) > Firms (maximum) (b) The checks and balances rely more on court (suits) against individuals and groups than on votes. After courts, then approval of federal appropriations. Appropriations are not pooled so they are more like payment plans. So there is no discretionary use of these fees. After that we have votes for our governors. Our governors (and governments) appoint senators. The only significant improvement would be an hereditary monarchy to overrule if something gets out of hand (think the present queen of England with more likely exercise of power.) The french really ruined government. The english had it right. Our experiment didn’t work as well as our enumerated rights in the constitution. So the P-constitutional amendments further enumerate rights and shift from the french vision of government back to the British. (classes).

    Basic things means isolating the infirmed, and elderly, and their health care, elder care, and their maintenance (janitorial, cleaning, housekeeping) population, providing them with protective clothing, passing them thru biohazard cleansing, delivering hazard pay. Not shutdowns.

    That the ‘aristocracy’ tolerated the invasion of our polity by false promise of freedom from physical, natural, an evolutionary laws by the marxists, neo-marxists, postmodernists, feminists, and human difference denialists rather than prosecuting them was a catastrophic error.

    @hugo909 @TheRealFMCH @Maroeladalx10DB @laurenboebert @austere1717 That we don’t prosecute men and women for their actions is a choice. That we extend childhood and create the risks for them is an other fact – and is also a choice – without empirical evidence to support the utility or necessity.

    That we thought the 20th ended scarcity is cause.

    Sometimes we must choose the lesser of two evils. The lesser of two evils is to flatten the curve by constraining the people who spread the disease: the health care, elder care, and maintenance workers from the rest of society. It was not to shut down all of civilization.

    @Quillette Flattening the curve saves the medical system from overloading. It means marginal cases might not die due to equipment shortages. It doesn’t mean that the frail and elderly won’t die soon. Nor does it mean the coming pain from shutting down the world won’t be a greater suffering.

  • State Bureaucracies Must Organize for War

    Apr 1, 2020, 2:36 PM I make the same argument. the CDC, Homeland Security, and Disaster Relief Organization, and The Treasury are either creating war plans and holding war games or they are wasting our time and money. Bureaucracies run by constant process rather than project deliverables, war plans, and shocks

    —“In 2015, I urged world leaders in a TED talk to prepare for a pandemic the same way they prepare for war — by running simulations to find the cracks in the system,” Gates wrote. “As we’ve seen this year, we have a long way to go. But I still believe that if we make the right decisions now, informed by science, data and the experience of medical professionals, we can save lives and get the country back to work.”–

  • The Funnel

    Any movement works from the fringe to the center of the movement’s maximum reach. People on the fringe are novelty seekers. People in the middle are solution seekers. It’s a marketing funnel. There is no difference between a movement and any other product, service, or information.
