@curtdoolittle I don’t think values depend on empiricism. It’s how you’re wired. Values are not true/false. @lukelea @JonHaidt

@AnnCoulter Ann: so aside from resistance, who – if anyone – has any solution to our current political dilemma? Is there a solution?

YOU ARE RULED BY THEM, SO CHOOSE THEM WISELY

You are and always will be ruled by the ideas of philosophers, enforced by warriors and judges, and administered by calculators and clerks.

That is the history of man.

You cannot escape their rule, only choose those who rule wisely.

You are making the error of claiming authority over meaning when the term applie

You are making the error of claiming authority over meaning when the term applies to a spectrum of strategies.

Aristocracy ( paternalism/ domestication )

Contractualism ( rule of law / constitutionalism )

Traditionalism ( rule of myth, norm and familism )

Postwar Conservatism ( submissive hopeful enfranchisement )

Conservative libertarianism w/o commons production.

( borderland libertarianism )

Neoconservatism ( Jewish market and credit imperialism )

So when someone issues the criticism that someone isn’t a conservative which of these is he referring to and which are you?

The alt right advocates paternalism ( return to rule by domestication ).

The other variations are wishful thinking. The fantasy that Liberty is constructed by other than violence.

That’s the difference.
