Oct 16, 2019, 7:38 PM Meth, Heroin, Cocaine all feel good. Sugar feels good. Wheat feels good. Pornography feels good. The fake affections of prostitutes feel good. Comforting lies feel good. Hyperconsumption feels good. Virtue signaling feels good. Feeling good isn’t a test of anything other than the sensations we evolved as hunter gatherers. We have developed many means under agrarianism, pastoralism, civilization, industrialism, and the sciences, by which to achieve sensations that we could not obtain from the natural world except as subtle cues to scarcity. That something feels good (or bad) in the moment tells us very little about whether it is cumulatively good for us, for those around us, for our people, civilizations, and man. The opiates of the masses indeed do feel good. They are however extremely BAD for us. In fact, they are genocidal. ~Curt Doolittle

Prohibiting Demand for The Via-Positiva State
Oct 18, 2019, 11:01 AM
The failure of the law of tort to keep pace with inventions in parasitism and predation, generates demand for the state to via-positiva impose rules of conduct instead of the law’s via-negativa prohibitions on conduct. This is why jewish-libertarian civs are impossible, and only anglo-rule-of-law civs produce liberty and freedom without via positiva imposition of rule by the state.

Few of Us Seek Truth
Oct 18, 2019, 8:44 PM Very few of us seek truth. We all seek utility not truth. For some of us truth and utility are identical. for others it forces them into competition with Darwin – and truth is the enemy of false genes as much as false ideas.

If your God has brought you here, then there are two obvious questions. First, what good is that god. Second, it seems unlikely it is more god than demon. Jehova was a demon, not a god.
