    (You do not hire someone to overthrow the international order because you can no longer afford to act as an imperial force Financially, militarily, politically, or culturally, at the population’s expense, and expect the international community, to like it. When when finance cuts your budget, or daddy cuts your allowance, you don’t like it either. Smart people talk about geostrategy, institutions, and economics. Dumb people talk consensus, morality, and approval. News is an entertainment industry. It sells fictions that people want to hear. )

    Why? Because my experience is that the Talking Classes and their mastery of lying have displaced the Martial Classes and their mastery of truth telling. And in doing so they have deceived and destroyed the good common man for personal gain. So I want to restore the martial and judicial classes and save my people from the parasitism of the Cathedral: the Academy, State, Media, Financial complex that is far more evil than any military industrial complex ever imagined being.

  • Untruth is profitable in the short term for the individual. Truth is profitable

    Untruth is profitable in the short term for the individual. Truth is profitable in the long term for the polity. Just as theft is profitable for the individual, and ordered rule of law is profitable in the long term for the polity. In general, the service of governments is to suppress local parasitism (corruption and crime), thereby reducing local transaction costs and dramatically increasing productivity. The problem for the polity is then in minimizing or eliminating those centralized rents through the distribution of the costs of policing. So far this has been almost impossible for all societies. It’s possible now, largely because of the possibility of information transparency.

    Philosophy without history, economics, and science is just secular religion – a form of conspicuous consumption.

    Just by adding costs in to philosophy half of all questions disappear.

    Just by adding operational language to philosophy, the rest disappear.

    There really aren’t very many difficult questions: metaphysics (action), epistemology (testimony), ethics (reciprocity), politics (markets for commons), group evolutionary strategy (predation, parasitism, cooperation, or avoidance.)

    The meaningful issue is: why don’t you like the answers? 😉

    REVEL IN THE OPPORTUNITY!!!

    What? You are worried about the end of western civilization, instead of reveling in the opportunity for morally justified predation on a scale not possible since the Roman Empire?

    Revel in our time!!!

    We can create legends that will outlive us for thousands of years!!!!

    Truth favors the european group evolutionary strategy, because meritocracy favors the european group evolutionary strategy. The reason being that europeans have demonstrated superiority when using truth and meritocracy.

    ACQUISITIONISM: BIG 5 – AGREEABLENESS

    —“Low time preference (likeable now) over high time preference (respected later)”— Bill Joslin

    —“Female submission(now) rather than male dominance(later).”— Moritz Bierling

    —“Agreeableness – priority on social capital (property type) – low cost (persuasion-manipulation; likeability – superficial) over high cost (merit-reputation; complex, honesty, trustworthy, reliable) – skew to create-aquire (likeability) over preservation (reputation)”— Bill Joslin
