    DEFINITIONS: FRAGILITY OF AN ADVANCED ECONOMY

    Q&A: –Curt, what do you mean by an ‘advanced economy’?—

    The more dependent the citizenry is on complex networks of production involving distributed capital, resources, and knowledge.

    In other words the degree to which the store of necessary consumption can be interrupted before the expansion of revolt over basic needs..

    In other words, people cannot return to the farm in the village to survive, and have no choice but to revolt.

    The more ‘efficient’ an economy in ‘modern economic terms’ which means the more risk it absobs in favor of discounts on consumption, the more vulnerable it is.

    The siezure of the british empire’s policing of world finance and trade, the defense of europe during its rebuilding, the prosecution of the cold war and communism, and the consequential prosecution of world islamism as the replacement for communism, while importing vast numbers of a new third-world underclass, – have caused an overextension of the economy and a weakening of civic bonds necessary to endure shocks and reversals.

    Minor disruptions in distribution of basic goods (commercial rail, roadway trucking, consumer gasoline, natural gas piplines, electricity transformers, internet phone and cable boxes and wires, and water pipelines, when combined with multiple, randomly set fires, each of which provides an opportunity to harm or kill repair workers and the police that attempt to defend them, will cause vast economic catastrophe even if prosecuted by a small number of people.

    if any given city were to experience as few as 25 people aggressively pursuing these tactics for 120 days, the military will have to intervene, and the government will lose what remaining credibility it has, and people will, after 180-270 days, be exhausted.

    This is enough time for the military and political opportunists in the world to seize openings due to weakness that the Obama administration has created through deprivation and reduction, and the demand for both internal and external force will be unbearable, and the citizenry will either end up in the streets, or demand immediate action.

    The goal of any such action is to force the military to take control and to implement constitutional, legal, and policy changes sufficient to restore order.

    The strategy is quite simple. Lay out demands that a majority of the population will accept, that will generate opportunity for change, and opportunity for multiple classes and groups to benefit from.

    PROGRESSIVISM AS INSUFFICIENTLY DOMESTICATED HUMAN

    Progressives make moral arguments for what they want, not whether, it’s true, truthful, a self-contradiction, produces consequences, or is even possible, or even vaguely rational. Because Progressives aren’t HUMAN. They’re just undomesticated animals reliant on instinct rather than reason. You cannot domesticate an animal without controlling its breeding over many generations. Until that domestication is accomplished, and people can cooperation by truth, reason, and what we now call science, then they are not domesticated, and they are not, Human. They may be of the Species homo-sapiens, but this is like saying a dog and a wolf are the same species. They are not. Nor are progressives. They are merely undomesticated animals.

  • DEFINITION: A PROGRESSIVE – THE UNDOMESTICATED ANIMALS AMONG US. THOSE WITH WHOM

    DEFINITION: A PROGRESSIVE – THE UNDOMESTICATED ANIMALS AMONG US. THOSE WITH WHOM WE ARE AT WAR.

    A useful idiot with short-term time-preference, easily led by Cosmopolitans (instead of the church), into following a long sequence of incrementalisms, which result in the destruction of everything beyond the perception of their short time preference, and impervious to the perception, cognition, and accountability of the dysgenic devolution that they have produced, as little bait-followers of their much more cunning, and entirely evil, idiot-farmers.

    The world has been rebelling against the Heroic, Aristocratic Egalitarian Civilization, and our ongoing efforts at domestication of man, animal, nature, and the universe, since we invented it entirely for selfish reasons of profiteering by the domestication of man, just a we had from the domestication of the horse.

    The horse, like the pig, sheep, cow, chicken, men, and woman in particular, yearn to return to the selfish, impulsive, opportunistic wild where the burden of Truth, Planning, Reason, Cooperation, Production, Family, Industry, Commons and Nation are no longer a daily burden their short-term minds must bear.

    We are too Christian and insufficiently pagan when we assume that these people simply need education or incentives. They don’t. They’re genetically defective, still animals, not fully domesticated into rational humans. They have merely learned to ape our civilization’s truth as convenience, reason as propaganda, science as pseudoscience, while reaping its benefits, while watching the fence for an opportunity to run off with the contents of the garden.

    There was no Eden. By the hand of western man we cultivate it from the chaos. Eden is an ambition, not a memory.

    Progressivism is the dysgenic, devolutionary, re-wilding of man, undoing thousands of years of our progress, for the profitability of short-term consumption and increasing numbers, which pollute, exhaust, and uglify this garden we call Earth; and threaten to prohibit our extension of this garden to the stars.

    Those who are undomesticatable are not sufficiently human, that we should consider them untapped resources that might join our aristocracy and our multi-millennium quest to produce heaven versus merely longing for it.

    Morality is limited to those with whom we can cooperate. If we cannot cooperate we can ignore. If we cannot ignore we can enslave. if we cannot enslave we can kill. If we cannot kill we must defend. If we defend we simply accumulate technology and resources until we can return to ignoring, enslaving, and killing.

    The universe will not give us many chances to repeat each era. Geological time is not kind to us. There are as yet no other voices in the darkness. If we are to become the gods we seek over the garden we seek, then we cannot fall to the barbarians – even our own women – once again. as we have in the past.

    We confused our technological success in the modern era with our success at escaping the most constant threat that we have always faced: the invasion and conquest by the beast that is undomesticated man. Where we did not confuse our condition with success, we rested on our laurels, and bribed the animals with trinkets like literacy, and science, and medicine, and rule of law. But this did not domesticate them. They were not prisoners of poor governors, but undomesticated animals, who having, like locusts, consumed without payment, the goods we have made. Did not adapt to the conditions under which those goods were manufactured: self-domestication.

    We can profit from markets and open trade, we can profit from markets and closed trade, we can profit from markets by technological secrecy and innovation, we can profit from the market for governance by conquest and colonization and domestication, or we can profit by conquest, death, and the taking of property and territory.

    The only advantage to profiting from markets and open trade is that we take less risk at the cost of becoming obese and ill from overconsumption, rather than profiting from colonization, or conquest is risk and reward, and clearly we UNDERESTIMATED our low risk: the risk in same in both cases by different means.

    We have spent a century now with the experiment of non-domestication of man and woman and it has given us domestic socialism, world communism, world Islamism, and the near destruction of our families, culture, civilization followed by the near genocide of our tribes.

    We cannot reap the rewards of domestication – a high trust society with rapid innovation, production, and consumption – by failing to defeat the Red Queen of undomesticated humans.

    We always pick the wrong allies. The Chinese and the Russians are Our only friends. Why? Because they do not surrender, ever, the hard work of domesticating animals, whether forieng, domestic, of female.

    Q&A: “What’s the Difference between Mercantilism and Fascism?”

    Mercantilism mobilizes the state as a corporation for the purpose of conducting foreign trade competitively. Fascism is a defensive mechanism and relies on limited Autarchy limiting international trade.

    Mercantilism is an offensive economic strategy and fascism is a defensive one. (simplified, but yes.)

    They are opposing propositions.

    AGREEMENT IS A BINARY MEASUREMENT

    We don’t think of humans as instruments of measure, but in terms of measuring cooperation, productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary exchange limited to productive externality, is the only test of truth test of good or bad.

    We calculate when we cooperate. What we calculate is the common good that we cannot ourselves ever know and possibly would never agree to.

    Q&A: “CURT:WHAT’S MARKET FASCISM?”

    Good question. Lets look at Fascism first.

    FASCISM:

    A political system headed by a dictator in which the government controls business and labor and opposition is not permitted.

    —“The only official definition of Fascism comes from Benito Mussolini, the founder of fascism, in which he outlines three principles of a fascist philosophy.

    1.”Everything in the state”. The Government is supreme and the country is all-encompasing, and all within it must conform to the ruling body, often a dictator.

    2.”Nothing outside the state”. The country must grow and the implied goal of any fascist nation is to rule the world, and have every human submit to the government.

    3.”Nothing against the state”. Any type of questioning the government is not to be tolerated. If you do not see things our way, you are wrong. If you do not agree with the government, you cannot be allowed to live and taint the minds of the rest of the good citizens.

    The use of militarism was implied only as a means to accomplish one of the three above principles, mainly to keep the people and rest of the world in line. Fascist countries are known for their harmony and lack of internal strife. There are no conflicting parties or elections in fascist countries.”—

    MARKET FASCISM

    1. Nothing but voluntary: Sovereignty, Liberty, Freedom, and Subsidy.

    2. Nothing but markets: Market for association ( and disassociation) Market for consumption (economy), market for reproduction( marriage and family), market for commons (multiple houses), market for rule (freedom of exit), all differences adjudicated by natural, judge discovered, common, law.

    3. Nothing but obedience or exit – no opposition is tolerated.

    In other words instead of enforcing socialist production without opportunity for criticism, we enforce markets in everything without opportunity for criticism.

  • DEFINITION: CAUSAL DETERMINISM Determinism in Philosophy vs Causal Determinism i

    DEFINITION: CAUSAL DETERMINISM

    Determinism in Philosophy vs Causal Determinism in Science.

    In philosophy, determinism refers to predestination. It’s an extreme pretension. And philosophical determinism does not survive scrutiny because physical determinism does not survive scrutiny.

    So what we have left once we eliminate philosophical determinism, is scientific determinism. Which we often distinguish using the clarification of ‘causal determinism’

    Scientific determinism says that the universe operates by regular rules that we can discover, and that indeterminism arises out of complexity we cannot possess the information to measure, nor is there regularity to the universe in practical (actionable) terms, below and above certain levels.

    For example, we can describe how gasses expand but we cannot determine where any given molecule will end up. A common example in simple physics is filling a barrel with numbered marbles, and tipping it over. Regardless of the initial position of the marbles, and assuming we do not ‘cheat’ by organizing them in some sort of structure, no matter how precisely we repeat the process of pouring the marbles on the floor, we will never predict the resulting position of an individual marble. Yet we will be able to define patterns of behavior. What we will do is determine the *limits* of our ability to describe where a given marble will end up. Hence our ability to create reasonably, but not quite believable, software simulations of such phenomenon.

    It may be possible that we simply lack measurement tools and information stores and machines capable of measuring such things. But as far as we know at present, the universe is only probabilistic at the lowest level, not deterministic.

    So in science, causal determinism refers to regularity within limits. And we use deterministic as a an adjective. Like ‘fast’: something can be slightly or highly deterministic.

    If the universe was not deterministic we could not conduct science.

    But it is, so we can.

    This does not mean that there is no room for free will. And it does not mean that there are precisely determinable formula for everything.

    It means only that we can define general rules to some degree of precision for all phenomenon. In other words “all general rules must specify a limit”.

    For example, it is logical that raising the minimum wage increases unemployment. On the other hand it has proven incredibly difficult to prove one way or another. Same for the neutrality of money. In both these cases we cannot really state anything more precise than that in any meaningful way.

    But it is this concept of limit – and its accompanying requirement for full accounting – that has been missing from our philosophical, scientific, economic, and political discourse.

    Newtonian physics were not false. We use them every day. They are less precise than Einsteinian physics. And undoubtably, when we discover the theory of everything, it will be more precise than Einsteinian physics. Does that mean that Newtonian physics fails at human scale, or that Einsteinian Physics fails at observable-universe scale? No. Not at all.

    It means that to some degree, all science requires that we discover our current limits, and seek solutions to those beyond them, extending the limits of our perception and understanding.

    Does that mean we will not discover some greater but unfortunately unmeasurable regularity to the subatomic universe with the ‘theory of everything’? Perhaps, and perhaps not. I suspect that the problem of measurement will remain with us forever, and that our ability to ACT to change the course of the universe for our benefit will forever be a matter of energy and cost, not one of understanding.

    And as is expected, if we cannot act upon it, then it is not material for human beings. We are bound by the same rules of the universe as is everything else in it.

    Everything costs.
