THAT FEELING WHEN…..
You have spent your life working with the most current evidence of the physical sciences, and disregarding the blatherings of the ancients and medievals, only to complete the full scope of your work, and understand that while those same ancients had yet to divorce themselves from spiritualism and moralizing, that they had, in fact, in the form of the Stoics, produced categorically, causally, and descriptively the solution to the unification of all the disciplines.
And then you become increasingly angry that with the licensing of christianity, instead of suppression of it, judaism, and any other falsehood, that we need not have had a dark age, renaissance, enlightenment, world wars, or the spread the vast evil of islam.
I am excited to know the answers.
But I am angry.
Anger must convert to resolution.
Resolution to conviction.
Conviction to strategy.
Strategy to plan.
Plan to action.
Action to conquest.

( Thinking about how the universe, and the structure of the universe isn’t something ‘out there’ bigger than we are and imperceptible to us, or here, in our solids, liquids, gasses, plasmas and spaces that is perceptible to us. And that it’s just a vast web of these very small geometric phenomenon that through attraction and resistance create spaces of different sizes with different fields, and that its all winking and twinking and twirling and spinning and that …. and I’t just. I just dont’ wanna go there. I mean, although, the fact that everything is connected by fields within fields, is sort of beautiful and in some way I feel the universe is less alien, that does not make me feel any better given how hostile the universe is to us, and how hard we must work to make spaces for ourselves, that we can survive within. And our rather short experience as creatures of reason, capable of transforming this world, is amounts to nothing in the tempo of the universe.)

Have you noticed how few intellectuals are libertarians? Have you noticed that oddly, all books on libertarianism are entry level, and none of them advanced?
Libertarianism had an early flowering in the sixties and seventies. But by the 80s almost all had abandoned it, and at present only the few people associated with the Mises Institute’s pseudoscientific propaganda remain. The reason being that it’s a dead end.
The general intellectual progress through the ideologies is Classical Liberal (Hayek/Haslitt) > Libertarian (Rothbard) > Anarcho Capitalist (Hoppe) > Dark Enlightenment (Mencius) > Propertarianism (Strictly Constructed Natural Law Classical Liberalism)

( I take some twisted kind of joy in the knowledge that the next ice age will begin within the next 15 years, and that I”ll probably be around for it, and ridiculing former sun-god deniers. lol )

Um. Listen. All freudian psychology is pseudoscience. Ok? So you don’t use words like ‘Ego’. Or any other term. We have new terms that are a little better now.
I’m converting those terms into Acquisitionism, and I’ve already converted moral terms into Acquisitionism and Propertarianism.
So someday soon we will have the propertarian equivalent of psychology. In the meantime, you can simply state what the person wants to acquire, and how it affects some sort of capital, and the inaccuracy of that person’s status.
Most of what we see in psychology is something to do with status signals (dominance hierarchy whether female or male) and the discipline or lack of discipline in controlling our reaction to the correspondence or lack of correspondence between (a) reality, (b) self image, (b) retention of real or perceived gains. (loss aversion).

Once you realize that all our enlightenment benefit has been from science and law, and all our harm has been from pseudoscience(philosophy) and government, then you realize that the enlightenment improved our material existence but harmed our social orders and our civilization.

But there is a reason only children and liberal arts majors read marx, and the rest of the adult world reads science.
