Love your tribe. It doesn’t matter what tribe it is. If you don’t love your tribe then how can anyone trust you, inside or tribe or out?
Any tribe that doesn’t love itself first, always has been and always will be, conquered by tribes that do. It’s just math.

Its very funny to watch how television and movies portray negotiations between members of the upper classes. Lower middle class actors demonstrating upper proletarian emotions.
Powerful people are quiet, patient, deliberative and boring.

(male female relationships)
All women are beautiful. Its their nature.
You can say a woman fails to take care of herself. Or that she fails to appreciate her femininity.
But the number of women who are not beautiful is a function choice far more often than genes.
In my opinion anyway. 😉

THE SIDE EFFECT OF REPUTATIONS
The problem with having a reputation for being devilishly smart, is that sometimes you’re not being devilishly smart. You’re just doing the right thing. lol. Mad Scientist variation on Crying Wolf.

ARISTOCRACY IS JUST SELF DEFENSE
We had it backwards. Aristocracy simply didn’t adapt to the change in membership in the cult of property rights fast enough.
If you can’t convince the anti-aristocrats to go along and create an ‘aristocracy of everybody’ promised by the enlightenment, then the alternative is natural Aristocracy: Self Defense.
Pay people to get married, cohabitate, and breed. Pay the poor and unable, not to have children. Tax, impoverish, and punish those that are dependent. Care for the physically disabled.
Just how it is. Otherwise. No families. No morality. No high trust. Married class vs unmarried class warfare.

THE REASON YOU USE THE WORD ‘LIBERTY’ AND NOT ‘ARISTOCRACY’?
Because you are carrying around the enlightenment error that anyone other than egalitarian aristocracy actually desires liberty. They don’t.
Aristocracy:
1) Private Property Rights in exchange for contributing Perpetual Military Service in the defense of private property rights of all who have earned them.
2) Egalitarianism: anyone willing to also grant rights and contribute service can also gain those rights by contributing that service.
3) Denial, by promise of violence, of any and all concentration of power sufficient to alter the distribution of property and property rights.
4) The Absolute Nuclear Family and Prohibition on inbreeding.
5) Chivalry: Social Status Through Charity, and service as well as through arms.
6) Decision Making by majority vote of those who have earned property rights.
Aristocracy is tribal paternity and property rights, open to all who will equally grant them, and defend them.
LIBERTY EXPRESSED AS A ‘RIGHT’ IS AN ATTEMPT TO GAIN PROPERTY RIGHTS AT A DISCOUNT, AND NOTHING ELSE.

We use both informal and formal institutions, to transform descriptive ethics, to prescriptive ethics, to norms.
We can bend these natural ethics. But we cannot break them.
Ethics are systems of incentives.
It is non-rational to expect people to adopt ethical systems that are to their disadvantage.
And not only is it non-rational, it is counter to praxeology.

PLATONISM sigh. There’s no ‘there’, ‘there’. Don’t confuse forecasting and remembering with existing. Existence is action in time, and the use of memory to experience the change. The rest of it’s just entertainment.
