Scandinavia
Everything good about Scandinavia existed before their ‘experiment’. Everything bad about Scandinavia has occurred because of their experiment. Geographic insularity breeds economic, social, political, and military complacency.Wealth allows greater expression of folly. That’s bad.https://mises.org/library/scandinavian-unexceptionalism-culture-markets-and-failure-third-way-socialism# -

Sacredness vs Divinity.
They’re two different things.
Small things in large numbers have vast consequences.

Because we have simply shifted warfare by violence, to warfare by trade, to warfare by credit and currency, and now warfare by information and technology. Markets proxy violence: the great cycle of man: pursuing and exhausting all opportunities until only defection is profitable.

It’s remarkable to think that no one seems able to stop the trade insanity caused by one dude. How is this even possible?

1 – “All human organizations evolve to maximize rents, until it is impossible for those organizations to adapt to change or shocks.”
2 – “Organizations that collapse due to the maximization of rents, and inability to adapt to shocks, do not recover.”
3 – “Collapse is caused by competing organizations with fewer or lower accumulated rents – seeking military economic religious and demographic expansion.”
4 -“Collapse is preventable by extermination of rents, by the preservation of markets for association, reproduction, production, production of commons, production of defense.”
5 – “Markets in everything are producible by a government that shifts from redistributive(liberal), to productive(classical), to warfare (fascism) in response to changing circumstances.”
6 – “Unfortunately, the human intuition is to pursue decreases in effort to calculate, and to maximize regularity, so that fringe opportunities are of the lowest cost to seize with the lowest need to organize to exploit them. And therefore, the human intuition is false (counter) at scale – as in all things. Those who seek regularity seek the luxury of freedom from adaptation”.
7 – “ergo the only possible means of institutionalizing scale is markets in everything, under a government unable to institutionalize policies that provide discounts in exchange for reducing the ability to adapt to shocks.”
8 – “that which does not kill you does in fact make you stronger, and the process of continually maintaining and building strength to resist the vicissitudes of man and nature, is produced via negativa : by preservation of competition in al things using markets in all things.”

If I could reduce the question of our age to a simple comparison, the academy is still trying to produce wisdom lit of low offense, while i produce natural law, and the hard sciences produce physical law, regardless of offense. The reason the academy could replace the church was that they produced wisdom lit in every possible fictionalism, and did not produce natural law – and did so because there was a market for falsehood (wisdom lit) an no law prohibiting its sale.

My presumption of best way = continuous competition (empiricism), and continuous success at competition (dynamic markets), which requires continuous defeat of the red queen (regression to the mean), by continuous improvement of the gene pool (kin group eugenics.)

We All Make the Mistake of Harmony Rather than Reciprocity
Even though they are most like us, East Asians made a few mistakes in history – principally beginning with confucius not solving the problem of politics because it would be offensive. and worse, converting from their original empirical rule, to moral rule, when their civilization got so large that they overwhelmed their institutions. and worse, when they resisted technological innovation as ‘disruptive’. and worse when mao tried to stop the separation of ruling but poor north from wealthy south. Love of harmony is actually a catastrophic mistake. Instead, love reciprocity. We made the same mistake with christianity. Not submission but reciprocity. And you know, that’s all I do right? Try to restore Violence, Sovereignty, Reciprocity, Natural Law, and Markets in Everything. Nietzche wasn’t right you know. He understood the problem. He just was entirely wrong about what to do with it. You cannot produce harmony via positive, but via negative: by demand for reciprocity you will produce continuously evolutionary harmony at the expense of the current status quo – and thereby prevent rents and calcification that enventually produce vulnerability to competitors and shocks.Apr 02, 2018 2:05pm
