  • YARVIN VERSION TWO PART THREE Yarvin and Rothbard and Rand are Jewish, Hoppe ger

    YARVIN VERSION TWO PART THREE

    Yarvin and Rothbard and Rand are Jewish, Hoppe german, Doolittle anglo. I don’t expect change in visions of the future. Mises, Popper, Hayek, Rothbard, Hoppe, and Doolittle, we solved social science in what, four generations? After how many centuries?

    —“Eric Danelaw well you’re cringe too then hahah

    seriously tho how his is method of argument “jewish”?

    Also Hoppe is an ontological Liberal and Nick Land is too so they’re kinda silly”—Arrus Kacchi

    Really, what form of argument do Yarvin, Land, and Hoppe rely upon? Do they use Hindu mythical analogy, abrahamic theological, Jewish Critique, Confucian Reason, Continental Rational, German Phenomenological, Kantian Rational, Anglo Analytic, Anglo Ratio-empirical? They are just as different as theology, philosophy, law, and science. They are just as different as physics, chemistry, biology, and sentience. Does his suggested social order of ‘freedom’ reflect jewish diasporic, german free cities, Anglo Rule of Law, European National Socialism, Russian Oligarchical, or Chinese hierarchical oligarchy, or Hindu communal?

    I never disagree with nick, or curtis, or hans on criticism or goals – we all criticize using our cultural methods of analysis, we all propose solutions our culture is familiar with.

    Hoppe identified property as the unit of measure of social science, but not commons as necessary for survival of a polity able to produce the institution of property. Hayek worked thru economics then finally identified law and commons, and extended commons to information. I took hoppe and hayek (and popperian falsification and united them) and in my understanding, I completed the project of a system of measurement for the social and political sciences.

    Curtis identified the migration of the church state complex, to the military state industrial complex, to the academy, media, state complex. I identified the problems of law and economics.

    What is different about these findings? Yarvin “talk and belief” (jewish or truthfully, female ‘words and belief’), Hoppe morality as empirical (german moral, ‘intuitions and norms’), I identified the operational problem (finance, economics and law ‘actions’. )

    All of us come from gene pools and cultures or subcultures and we cannot escape them. Because we are raised on moral foundations in families that persist moral foundations, and those moral foundations contain metaphysical paradigms, goods, bads, orders, rights and wrongs.

    This is why moral differences between cultures persist in the USA (and judaism and islam and christianity and every other religion) across generation.

    No one is immune. Just as you and I are not. The only way to increase your immunity is through comparative analysis of the techniques of different civilizations to produce different arguments with different objectives.

  • YARVIN VERSION TWO PART TWO —“Eric Danelaw lmao I just realised the disconnect

    YARVIN VERSION TWO PART TWO

    —“Eric Danelaw lmao I just realised the disconnect

    You’re a Propertarian which is why you operate in such a nonsensical Gestalt Reminder that Propertarianism is just Liberalism with some testosterone.”— Arrus Kacchi (and all quotes that follow)

    Propertarianism is ‘just’ rule of law by reciprocity, testimony, and government under both, and the explanation for western successes in the ancient and modern world. You can construct any government under propertarianism. I recommend a series of three choices that flex under war, regularity, and windfalls.

    —“Moreover that argument pertaining to Moldbug is weak as fuck considering that he uses the De Jouvenelian and Carlylean analysis throughout UR and increasingly the former in his newest piece”—

    I don’t make mistakes. It’s constructed via conflationary continental reasoning as are De Jouvenel and Carlyle, I just use the science. Not the storytelling. (Propaganda).

    —“Other than that there are definitely nuggets of truth in what you’ve just said about subcultures but you’re also missing a key piece which is linguistic forms”—

    I’m not missing linguistic forms I’m specifically naming and comparing them. And note how precise each of the series I use is.

    —“It’s not all reducible to biology like that because Power and Language play massive roles in tandem with biology which often inform sexual selection”—

    This is true. One can appeal to ignorance superstition, error and intuition or one can educate people out of ignorance, superstition, error, and intuition. Propaganda and ideology make use of appeal, science, logic, and law do the opposite.

    —“Thus in many situations biological expressions are posterior to power”–

    This is true. It also presumes that ideology is not a development of democracy, and philosophy a propaganda in the form of advice to pre-democratic regimes, and theology a coutner-revolution against pre democratic regimes.

    In other words you’re advocating and chris is practicing the postmodern (jewish) program, not the anglo ratio-empirical-legal that made modernity possible.

    —“How? To understand the language, words/phrases/ideas we use to think and speak with, and as language is a mode of intentional discipline we must posit an intentional agent who is fundamentally directing or has directed the forms of language we are using.”—

    I agree that the postmodern strategy of derrida foucault et al whose advocacy of social construction as a means of undermining western civilization just as they used abrahamic theology and the false promise of power in the ancient world.

    —“But language itself is acquired through socialisation. The ideas, words and phrases you use to think and speak with aren’t your own but in so far as they are truly original, you can only really explain what they are and mean by appealing to the meaning of its related words, concepts and phrases of which you inherited, perhaps from family, some tradition of thought or otherwise has imparted upon you external from yourself.”–

    Yes, people are victims of ignorance, superstition, error, bias, wishful thinking, the fictionalisms of idealism, pseudoscience, and supernaturalism, and are willing victims of baiting into hazard by appeal to all of the above, rather than paying the high cost of educating them. I understand.

    —“Someone must have been the first to use these words, thoughts, phrases etc because it would be impossible for them to just cause-lessly manifest in our minds and if they did they would be meaningless because they lack necessary anterior intention which makes them intelligible.”—

    Every culture developed a strategy about the same time in history and is anchored in it – usually around the time they adopted landholding – or failed to (inuit, gypsies, semites). That anchoring was the group’s competitive (evolutionary) strategy. Grammar (rules of continuous disambiguation) is limited in variation across peoples varying by transmission speed, informational content speed, and precision (high context low precision vs low context high precision). Paradigms that enforce group strategies establish the values within, and the hierarchy of dependent paradigms. The reason being that while we can pay direct costs (taxes etc), or indirect costs ( not doing things, forgoing opportunities), the vast majority of thoughts words and deeds are undecidable with the information at hand, and so group strategies ask us to chose in favor of them whenever other incentives are not in conflict. By this method, and by language informing us of it, we achieve group ends by millions of tiny decisions our group considers right or moral or wrong or immoral like grains of sand, and it’s these invisible low cost differences that maintain our group strategy just as much as expensive education and training and indoctrination, or governments or wars.

    ( Hopefully you see the difference between sophism and science. I do science. Sophisms of Idealism (Philosophy), pseudoscience(marx,freud,boas, adorno, derrida, foucault) and supernaturalism(abrahamic religion) are successful means of persuasion by deceit. And only the weak use it, which is why most philosophy was written by the desperate middle class. Those with power simply rule. And in the west, particularly greco-roman, and germanic west, that law was the traditional law of sovereignty and reciprocity. Although they do not use specific terms, rather they habituated the intuitions.

    —“Let us consider that Ă  la Ontological Liberalism, “The President/Prime Minister (government institutions etc) derive their authority from the people through the democratic process.”—

    Well, liberalism is an operational strategy in which the parliaments – previously limited to service as jury to the king in matters of money or war – usurped power from the monarchy and the landed aristocracy under the rise of trade possible under atlantic trade, colony, and canon, as well as accounting, law, and literacy. Economic power shifted and therefore demand for political power shifted. The english civil wars and the american revolution were expressions of middle class autonomy just as much as the french was an expression of underclass autonomy, and the russian revolution jewish autonomy.

    You mean that it is possible to produce a vocabulary and paradigm (ontology) in defense of that set of institutions and processes in pursuit of that social order’s distribution of power.

    —“This is the bedrock of Democracy – the idea from which it derives its legitimacy.”—

    Democracy is a good way of fooling people into supporting the existing power structure, or manipulating the population through propaganda to change the power structure. And yes, propaganda is an exceptional means of manipulating people under democracy, which is why the 20th and mass media were so successful at spreading leftists propaganda, first in the marxist under class revolt, then in the identity revolt (postmodernism and feminism).

    Democracy in athens and in europe was used exclusively to justify the seizure of power from the aristocracy as production and trade incrementally replaced the land. It was additionally used to free up the dead capital – 50% of europe’s – and put it to work as something other than rent seeking by the church.

    —“Unfortunately our linguistic ontology renders this Will of the People idea absolutely null.”—

    There is no such thing as a will of the people. There are networks of common interest organized int sustainable networks of specialization and trade. There is zero evidence that democracy is a good, or that democracies make good decisions, what they do is open up the political system to the extraction of and maximization of rents, to the point at which they are consuming accumulated genetic, institutional, cultural, normative, physical and environmental capital.

    In other words, you only need to lie to people and pander to people and use propaganda to people if your means of obtaining power is to replace one set of arbitrary rules with another, and to persist the pursuit of rents in the economy, rather than the western tradition of forcing people into the market economy where they are prohibited from seeking rents of any kind.

    So you are not arguing a ‘truth’ you are arguing a deception – a form of utility. I’m not. I’m simply trying to educate enough people that compromise is no longer possible because we are wealthy enough to return to speciation (social orders by moral bias, masculine meritocratic vs feminine equalitaria bias) now that the agrarian era and its various institutional and normative compromises are no longer necessary and at this point inhibitive.

    So you are advocating just persisting the suicidal empire, and the failed experiment in democracy. Chris was (I don’t know now what he’s doing), simply trying to organize another oligarchy. I’m trying to restore rule of law, with a monarchy as judge of last resort (Veto), and limit people to the assent or dissent of propositions (legislation), OR, complete the program of inclusion by ending majoritarianism, and returning the houses of government to a market for the production of commons by trades between the classes, where those trades do not require majority approval, only legal falsification. Which of these is useful is largely dependent upon scale of the poplity and it’s homogeneity.

    —“Why?

    >No one votes in an intentional vacuum

    >Voters understand who to vote for, how to make their choices through ways about thinking about politics that they did not create (consider the emancipatory ideologies).

    >Voters receive information concerning, candidates, parties, ideologies and relevant events etc from media they did not themselves create (ie. Academia which produces ideologies, NGOs which perpetuate Political Ideologies and Media Companies who distribute political information, current events and propaganda).

    When we trace back the flow of intention and discipline we will find only a specific few who are responsible for who should be elected President.

    The democratic process itself is run by unelected, highly influential, intentional agents who are anterior to elections themselves and are thus more powerful than democratically elected leaders.

    But considering that this ontology pertains to language and ideas in and of themselves for all time, we subsequently have to throw out the idea of there being a “pre-societal” individual.

    We are not born free and all the way back to our proto-human ancestors we have lived, we do live and probably will forever live in a society. Within some mode of social organisation – thus we must also throw out any ideas of spontaneous order (which is an Ex Nihilo fallacy after all) and so the idea of contracting into society from pre-society is also void.

    This idea as we can see from history is ahistorical anyway – there has never been a point at which randomly spawned humans existed in isolation and then entered into society.

    Life isn’t Minecraft, we don’t spawn in individually, free and then contract into anti-griefing rules, this is an absolute absurdity.

    Another point to consider; “In any group there’ll always be a person who’s the most “influential”. Out of all groups there’ll be a group who’s the most “influential”. And within that group there’ll be a person who’s the most “influential”, who’s the de facto Leader. Leadership is always demonstrated and thus can’t be elected, but there will always be a leader, whether as a formal position or not.” In all of human organisation, we would find an aristocracy, perhaps even a monarch, who are responsible for disciplining the intentional fields within which political practice is undertaken, regardless of the chosen mode of political organisation.”—

    Now, Compare your method to mine. You realize that your using sophisms (excuses) right? How does your method of argument (or Chris’) differs from mine? You know what it is?

    Truth I do truth vs You’re using the language of deceit.

    —“But you already knew that last but because you’ve read your Moldbug, right?”—

    I was working for quite a while before I became aware of his work, and aside from the Cathedral argument which I saw as a good framing, I thought the rest was rather obvious, because frankly we all read the same ideas by the same people, but I read science, economics, and law in order to produce institutions, and chris read literary philosophy and literature in order to produce propaganda.

    Which is why I’m an anti-philosophy philosopher. The problem is the term philosopher is now tainted, but people understand it abstractly. As far as I know I’m a theorist of human sciences, but stuck with the label philosopher because it’s all we have (hans hoppe does the same: theorist).

    I’m not trying to lie to the majority to fool them into some nonsense, I’m telling the truth to a minority that will use force of arms to restore rule of law so that fooling people with lying and propaganda isn’t any longer necessary under this folly of democracy.

    A collection of essays lamenting the disrespect of europeans for middle eastern thought products, that is a complaint about that we just disagree about pretty much everything. I wrote something longer on my blog, but I’ve cut it down to the core issues that the author is unable to grasp. I’m criticizing the premise of the original essay, the from which the book takes its title. The rest of the book rests upon the same presumptions of equality that does not exist, and western criticism that is predicated on very different concerns, and I won’t cover it here. WHAT EVERYONE’S MISSING Western ethics (reciprocity) are scientific. And always have been. For 5000 years. That is why we invented reason and science. We applied our law to everything. Small things in large numbers over long periods produce vast consequences. Once you understand western ethics of reciprocity are scientific, and that we invented reason and science by applying our law to everything you will pretty much understand western civilization. EPISTEMOLOGICAL CLAIMS Because the origin of our reasoning is law, not myth or dogma, western epistemology consists of constructing methods of testimony: logic, empiricism, operationalism, rational choice (incentives), reciprocity, and markets – all of which create evidence we can testify to. Our Wisdom literature is not conflated with testimony. In fact, we don’t conflate much of anything in the anglo world. We leave that to the Germans. Western testimony, at least in serious thought, is ‘deflationary’ as in the math, logic and the sciences, whereas french, german, jewish, christian and muslim is thought is inflationary (loaded and framed), or conflationary(conflating history and myth, truth and wisdom, real, supernormal) or fictionalized (idealism, magic, supernaturalism). But most evidently conflating the norms, traditions, values, and myths, with facts. LANGUAGE All language consists of sounds or their symbolic references, in a continuous recursive stream of disambiguation, each consisting of measurements, constructed from analogies to experience, and constructing a system of measurement the speaker and the audience understand. Westerners seek to produce testifiable measurements in argument, and limit our unjustifiable arguments to arts, music, poetry and literature. What you call dialectic is just Pilpul. Nothing more. If you cannot produce a system of measurement that is testifiable you’re just making up whatever deception you can get away with. ORIENTALISM There is no ‘reading’ of the law of sovereignty, reciprocity, nor ‘reading’ of the sciences. No reading of mathematics. A thing that is interpretable is not a thing that is uninterpretable (factual). One cannot testify to the meaning of wisdom literature. Yet it is ‘reading of text’ that has created Rabbinical Pilpul, Critique, False promise baiting into harm, numerology, legal ‘interpretation’. It is this very technique of pilpul that is advanced by the french jewish authors you mention (the postmodernists). In the west we call this by it’s true name: Lying. Yet jewish, christian, and muslim theologians practice this art of lying as if it is a skill. It not only is not a skill, it is the cause of the Dark Ages of Superstition and Ignorance. If you want to say that we only know we do not speak falsely by a competition between logic and evidence, and that we only know our logic and evidence is not false by competition in argument that might be true. But that is argument not dialectic. The difference in argument is pursuit if the testifiable, and dialectic is merely pilpul – pursuit of either deceit, persuasion, or compromise. STRAW MAN COMPARISONS OF WESTERN INTELLECTUALS The ‘philosophers’ the author mentions are socially, politically, economically and institutionally unimportant, and mostly jewish rather than western – authors of sophisms constructed from pilpul (excuses and deceits) and critique (criticism, undermining, straw manning) without proposing an operational solution to replace the current. In other words, they seek to undermine western civilization, but do not propose an alternative open to equal analysis and criticism. So the author is rebelling against the remains of christianity and judaism and not against anything currently western.

  • LET’S GET DOWN TO IT. LIBERTARIANISM IS DEAD. AND WE WERE ALL USEFUL IDIOTS TO T

    LET’S GET DOWN TO IT. LIBERTARIANISM IS DEAD. AND WE WERE ALL USEFUL IDIOTS TO THE ENEMY

    —“Let’s just get down to it. … libertarianism simply means you don’t f*** with people and leave them generally alone so long as they’re not messing with anyone and doing things wrong to other people directly and intentionally. The free market is the most important thing outside of that. We support family values and other things only for the purpose of having able bodies to then contribute to the free market with their mind in the right place.”— Kevin Flynn

    ^The problem is, that’s like marxism, in that it specifies goals, not means of achieving them (a sequence of testable operations) or the means of sustaining them. So it’s like saying “i wanna feel good’. It doesn’t mean anything other than whatever nonsense the individual dreams up in his head. Thats why it works. It’s the abrahamic means of suggestion. You actually supply whatever the meaning is, because there is no content to supply meaning in the statements.

    So, lets get down to it.

    Libertarianism either means rule of law by reciprocity that insures us all against conflict, where conflict consists of imposition of costs upon the demonstrated interests of others (negatives), codified in tangible categories we call ‘property’ (positives), with MANDATORY contribution to the defense of rule of law from all enemies both external and internal that would seek to incrementally or radically impose violations of those interests, with the MARKET of competition for territory population and rule, determining the necessary mandatory contribution to the defense of that rule of law. Period.

    Either that’s your definition, or you’re just making up fantasy stories like communism. In fact, that is what you’re doing, and what most libertarians are doing, they are promoting common property marxism, instead of private property marxism.

    So no, “Lets Get Down To It” means libertarians are either demanding rule of law and contribution to the defense of it by reciprocal insurance of it, or they are just asking for communes with private instead of common property – which is exactly what the ‘inventors’ of left-propertarianism (leave me alone) indented you to think.

    There is no such thing as “libertarianism”. There is just rule of law and the production of commons sufficient to preserve it. Sovereignty, liberty, and freedom cannot be produced by any other possible means.

    Not Hoppe’s fantasy of recreating the German Free cities (by permission), or Rothbard’s dream of recreating the Pale of Settlement, or the Ghetto (by permission), or the dream of recreating the American frontier (by permission). There are no ‘borderlands’ left to settle on behalf of a state in exchange for defense but the ‘liberty’ to preserve local custom (which is the meaning of liberty.)

    So I’ll call out all libertarians as Useful Idiots of the enemy. Suckers. Ass Clowns. There is no such thing as Libertarianism any More than there is such a thing as it’s mirror image: communism.

    You’re either a Propertarian or a fucking idiot. And there isn’t any debate to be had. It’s not even open to discussion, only education.

    One has liberty by permission of a state. One has freedom by permission of an owner. One has sovereignty because a group of men are willing and able to deny other men of any practical scale, from imposing something other than rule of law by reciprocity upon them.

    LIBERTARIANISM DOESN”T EXIST. It’s another false dichotomy like Socialism vs Capitalism.

    There is only rule of law and the property that results from it, and the commons necessary to defend it, or there is rule by man and all are subjects to those who rule, with the degree of liberty, freedom, or slavery imposed upon them against their will – for having FAILED to produce a condition of sovereignty.

    For this reason I call Propertarianism SOVEREIGNTARIANISM and I almost changed the name to it. And maybe I should have. Liberty consist of permission for those who live in border areas to have defense of superior peoples in exchange for temporarily holding territory – meaning, buying an option on territory – until sufficiently developed to rule, or sufficiently useful to exchange with a competitor.

    Libertarians are beggars like marxists. Sovereigntarians are OWNERS of their territory, polity, institutions, norms, traditions, and all commons under their domain.

    Libertarianism then is sophistry. We either are sovereigntarians descriptively, propertarians operationally, or absolute fking idiots practicing yet another sophomoric secular religion produced by the enemy, just like marxism, socialism, feminism, postmodernism, denialism, and the three abrahamic religions – although, we gotta give christianity a pass having been so thoroughly germanicized into a folk religion.

    We are warriors. Or we are slaves.

    Choose.

  • (movie review, unimportant) I’m from the Ebert school of movie reviews: a movie

    (movie review, unimportant)

    I’m from the Ebert school of movie reviews: a movie must only deliver on its promise given its budget. And there is a place for saturday afternoon sci fi just like saturday evening horror. And Doom Annihilation delivers exactly what was promised: true to the lore, true to the visuals, with decent sets, budget props and actors. Personally I enjoyed it and I wish there were more ‘honest’ productions like this: Low budget but good light, sufficient staging, sufficient props, sufficient acting, a decent story compatible with the lore, decent camera work, better than decent editing, not overly dramatic, or trying to sell chick power. I mean, I wish they’d crank one out a year using the same general theme and approach. They ruined the Alien franchise searching for high concept, but the doom franchise like the alien franchise is better suited to this form than high concept, just as the original star trek was better suited to cheap delivery of high concept. We aren’t going to get people in theatres any longer except for spectacles, so we need to re-learn how to produce movies we’re interested in more on the design and production of plays. I had fun with it. And I appreciate the work that went into it. -Cheers
