  • Passive Morality Isn’t Moral It’s Immoral – Free Riding

    Jan 25, 2020, 4:23 PM by Luke Weinhagen Passive morality isn’t. Conflating docility (submissive to morality, passive) with morality is like conflating helplessness (being incapable of violence, passive) with being peaceful. Both may describe your behavior but not your character nor your potential for reciprocity.

  • Sacrifices vs Capital Punishment

    If our ancestors didn’t have capital punishment for other than cowardice in battle and adultery, how did they get rid of malcontents? Sacrifice. See. Then it was for the gods. No one was responsible. I like that method.

  • The Trade Between The Aristocracy and The Common Folk

    —“Caesar was asked if he believed in the gods, to which he replied, ‘The common folk do- so must I’.”—Bjarg Jonsson

    Reciprocity: The people sacrifice to the emperor, the emperor sacrifices to the people. The sacrifice is an expression of loyalty at cost. The sacrifice is not a falsehood. It is material. It is not a payment. But it is a cost.   (tag: christianity, religion, trade, compromise)

  • All Right Left Conflict Is Reducible to Group Strategy

    All right left conflict is reducible to group strategy of eugenic families in meritocratic market aristocracy under rule of law of heroism, and dysgenic individuals in equalitarian ant-market pseudoscientific and sophomoric priesthood and discretionary rule of victimhood.
