    Define “catch on” 😉

    The need for ‘activism’ to bring about these changes?
    The minimum legislative or legal changes to allow us to hold public discourse on solving the crisis of the age?
    The set of policies that will solve the crisis of the age, and prepare us for the future?
    The cause of the crisis of the age as a natural consequence of this point in historical development – despite that it’s even more offensive to many than was darwin?
    The changes to the constitution necessary to reform and prevent another repeat of the present?
    The changes to the common law necessary to do so?
    The science and logic of first principles of evolutionary computation as the paradigm and standard and weights of measures across all disciplines?
    The grammars as a hierarchy of computable paradigms of increasing dimensions?
    The P-Grammar of operational prose, testimony, and reciprocity?
    The P-Method of disambiguation into ordinal measurements by enumeration, serialization, and operationalization.
    The reformation of each of the disciplines to end incommensurability, paradigmatic isolation, and the pseudoscience and scientific failure that’s resulted?
    The reformation of the behavioral sciences, in particular psychology and sociology, but also economics and politics?

    How far down the rabbit hole do you want me to explain to people. This is more in line with the scope of work of aristotle (everything), or the empirical revolution, or the scientific revolution, but it’s the completion of the unification of the science by solving the behavioral sciences as thoroughly as we did the physical.

    I mean. What do I need people to understand vs what do we need different groups of people to understand? 😉

    If you look at that list, what do you think that 10% needs to understand. Because our experience is that the people who actually participate in political matters consists of a fraction who are almost always trying to solve point problems and are ignorant of the broader context.

    So yes, advice is appreciated. 😉

  • NO, WE CAN’T ALL JUST ‘GET ALONG’ (GLOBALLY) Nice thinking though. (a) The rest

    NO, WE CAN’T ALL JUST ‘GET ALONG’ (GLOBALLY)
    Nice thinking though.
    (a) The rest of the planet is low trust, so it wants benevolent authoritarianism and certainty to compensate for low trust of one another – and they do NOT want our political ‘doing laundry in public’ adversarial democracy – at all. None of it.
    (b) The remaining agrarian empires resist our suppression of their aggression (Russia, China, MENA/Iran). This prevents them from continuing their parasitism upon their people.
    (c) The whole world wants us to stop exporting ‘liberalism’ which is reducible to a warfare on the primacy of the family by the advocacy of decadence and hedonism. (Most of us here don’t want it either.)
    (d) They’ve already accepted consumer capitalism. The whole world has begun to understand incentives and the necessity of prices.
    (e) But we sold them democracy that’s irrelevant instead of rule of law by the natural law that’s not.
    (f) Democracy isn’t a good. It is only a temporary luxury that results from the successful implementation of rule of law by a large enough middle class to create a sustainable economy and middle-class rule.

    My(our organization’s) goal is to make it unnecessary.
    The spectrum of forms it will take if we fail is horrible. Don’t think in terms of the French Revolution or American Civil War, but the bolshevik or the Syrian Civil War. House to house.
    Instead, we want as close to Maydan as possible.
    The USG folded in three weeks in the 60s.
    The USG cannot afford to lose legitimacy.
    And what we are asking for is moral and restores legitimacy.
    We aren’t trying to win so much as make everyone win except the financial sector, bureaucracy, academy, and media who are the ‘sellers and distributors of false promises and lies’.

  • The problem with creating a revolution, even if it is one of constitutional rest

    The problem with creating a revolution, even if it is one of constitutional restoration, and the restoration of natural law of cooperation, is not making those who you must live with afterward, more desirous of killing you than the government they barely tolerated in the first place.

    I want to win without anyone firing a shot.
    If it gets to skull pyramids that just means I’ve failed.
    (Even if some part of me, at certain times, prefers skull pyramids. 😉 )

    Having spent since the early 90’s on solving the problem of modernity that’s currently peaking in peak-woke and the coming civil war to decide that conflict, I’ve had to come to terms with the fact that there are those of us who can face these crises with love, humor, and hard work, for the common good, and those who do it with hate, anger, whining, and tantrums because they want that solution their way. I just can’t work with all that negative emotion and sperging and whining. If we know how to solve the problem for the benefit of most if not all, then Victory is simple. Just show up. All the whining is just wanting others to show up for you – cause you’re unworthy and unfit to do so. And so unworthy and unfit for an opinion.

  • JAMES, (ALL): That future is a horrorshow, yes. But it can’t really happen. All

    JAMES, (ALL):
    That future is a horrorshow, yes. But it can’t really happen.

    All leftism requires baiting into hazard, with a false promise of violating laws of the universe, justified by pilpul, and advanced by critique. All leftists always double down on failure. This means all leftism produces a race to the bottom. That bottom is authoritarianism with a small elite and vast poor who blame them for everything but are comfortable in their equality in poverty.

    For that to occurr would require total destruction of our institutions of cultural production, and total destruction of civilizational memory transferred across generations.

    Now, you’re correct that this is what the left is attempting. Because they left is trying to overcome the status conflict that occurs under market prosperity, in large and heterogeneous polities, where heterogeneity amplifies genetic and cultural differences between groups.

    It’s very difficult to see this happen, rather than cause sufficient conflict and collapse that we generate retaliation. That retaliation almost occurred before COVID. That retaliation is accelerating, and will accelerate further if free speech continues to be restored.

    It will take 2M men, and 3 weeks in DC to restore free speech and equal protection under the law. It’d be even more helpful to categorize the marxist-series a religion and prohibit it from all state or state insured institutions. It’d be better yet to end the dept of education, HUD, no fault divorce, alimiony and child support. And we can continue to add reforms on top of those, sure.

    But all we really need is Free Speech and Equal Protection so that it’s possible to hold the discourse. They can’t win the discourse. They were losing it. And that’s why they used hate speech (anti-leftism) as a means of suppressing conservatism across its libertarian, rule of law, christian, and yes, authoritarian spectrum.
