    RESTORING CIV.
    (life lessons) (learning from luke weinhagen)
    Working with Luke Weinhagen yesterday during an interview on the eighth chapter of his book “primal primer” and having a moment of insight that is an example of the value of his work.

    1) I’m hyper gregarious, but I never understood the reason being an attempt to create a ‘safe space’ not just for me but for everyone. And to gather intelligence to predict the safety of the space. And to broadcast safety to others in the space.

    2) I’m only 5’7, even if when fit, still 175 lbs. (I’m not fit now 😉 ). So what you learn from wrestling and fighting, is that big guys can intimidate, threaten, and take a bit of risk. They can posture. But smaller guys must go all in at the first provocation, as fast as they can, as hard as they can. So our ‘risk profile’ varies by our size.

    3) The ‘softening’ of each generation, is producing fragility in men, and instability in women, and as a result fragility and discord in the population. Luke is very clear on this but I haven’t understood the extent of it: But when I grew up boys fought. A lot. We competed and resolved conflicts when were were too small to really hurt one another – so we needn’t when we were older and could hurt one another.

    Now we have known for a few decades now, that this problem is due primiarly to mixing boys and girls in the same school, and educating them at the same ages. Boys require competition for position to ‘care’, just as girls need to ‘please’ or ‘conform’ to care. To accomodate girls we’ve ruined boys, ruined society, and ruined our institutions – and we’re losing competitiveness against the rest of the world by comparison. But we’ve done nothing to change it. And why? Women’s intuition combined with women largely in charge of education.

    Every false theory we have had since Marx (class), neoMarxism(culture), postmodernism(truth), feminism(sex and family), woke (race) has been destructive – cancerous. Because it’s counter to the laws of nature. And the new ‘religions’ have tried to use social construction (systematic lying) to persuade our peoples that we can violate those laws of nature – as if we are blank slates. And if not quite as bad, that nurture is more influential than nature – as if we ere partially blank slates. But evolution did not leave it up to our parents and neighbors to insure our species survival. It only left it up to them to discover ways to cooperate in the current context within those laws of nature, and those instincts that we evolved to continue our compatibility with nature’s laws.

    In the end, as offensive as it is, our civilizational crisis, as is true of every country experiencing demographic collapse, was caused by the over-introduction of women into economy and polity (despite just displacing men) and taking for granted the production of families. If we don’t produce children and families, we can’t produce societies and without societies we can’t produce economies. And without economies we can’t produce polities.

    There is no reason women can’t be integrated into the political system but we must do three things to prevent civilizational collapse by doing so:
    1) equally prohibit female antisocial and anti-political behavior as we have men (and women will hate it).
    2) teach the sexes separately, and if necessary races separately, so that we teach approval seeking or competition seeking as the sexes need it – and compensate for the different rates and depths of sexual maturity and resulting aggression vs pacifism of the races by doing so.
    3) Provide women a house of government so that we must compromise between the sexes, rather than allow women to constantly dictate the outcome of elections that have taken us closer and closer to civilizational suicide in pursuit of the belief that social construction can violate the laws of the universe, and particularly our genetics.
    4) Decide whether to reinforce the two parent family or abandon it as an institution.
    -Cheers

    “Q: IS THERE GOOD (OR BAD) CONTENT IN RELIGIONS?”
    (easier question to answer than you’d think)

    Generally speaking, ALL religions teach non-aggression, and means of non-aggression, within the possible trust-order (low to high) of the population. The means of teaching non-aggression in different trust-orders varies. And so the mythologies vary.

    As such the universal morality that all religions share is something worth observing because it’s simply a means of non-aggression (peaceful cooperation). Religions in the time of religious formation (the age of transformation) all evolved for the same reason: the restoration of civilization, trade, and population after the bronze age collapse.

    When religions differ, if they differ by trust order, then some religions are better and some worse.

    If they differ in the ritual means of getting there – rituals etc -, that’s usually a derivation of their trust order.

    And if they teach differences in responsibility for the commons (evasion of reality, to responsibility within reality) that’s a significant difference as well that we can judge as good or bad.

    So, we can judge the good and bad of every religion (and philosophy for that matter). The fact that they provide mindfulness by means of ritual that sedates neuroticism and alienation, by rituals of non-aggression, and rules to preserve non-aggression, doesn’t mean much. People justify what they know.

    However, we can rather easily compare good and bad religions. And it looks very similar to good and bad government, good and bad laws, and good and bad economies, and good and bad science and technology.

    TIPS
    The economist in me says: from the server’s perspective it’s opportunity cost. It’s far, far harder to take orders from, for the kitchen to cook and time, and for the staff to serve, many people on a $1k bill with a high chance of low tip, versus ten groups of two or four people with $100 bills and distribute the risk of all that error, low customer satisfaction, and low tip. So why would anyone want to serve a group that generated $1k? For this reason, many restaurants, especially the best ones, simply add the server’s cost to the bill regardless of what you want. Otherwise no one would wait on you.
    From the management’s perspective and from the staff’s a higher minimum wage puts employment at risk, and the business at risk, because the industry is volatile. This volatility rewards people during prosperity and protects them from bankruptcy in downturns.
    You pay either way. You’re going to pay for that server, the kitchen, the food, the facilities, the rent, the power, the cleaning crew, the spoilage, the insurance, and the taxes, one way or another.

    Rudyard Lynch of @Whatifalthist fame is an intuitive thinker. Last night I got a chance to discuss a bit of how he works through understanding different civilizations. I wanted that insight, because there is an implicity moral frame he presumes when he discusses history – and I wanted to understand it.

    And, it’s an intersection of analytic and empathic. He has such a grasp of history, geography, and environmental conditions, that he can step into the shoes of almost any people in any culture in all of history and deeply empathize with their human feelings, wants, needs, and perspective on the world – as if he’s there with them.

    And this is why he seems so balanced in his judgements, empathic in his understanding, and positive about mankind in general – he can see the ‘good’ in just about everything. And ‘reasonablness’ in how humans consistently approache the uncertain world we evovled in. man feelings, wants, needs, and perspective on the world – as if he’s there with them.

    So it’s not just that he’s smart, not just that he’s mastered history, not just that he learned and TESTED theories of history partly through adversarial competition in historical strategy games, and by proposing alternate histories. But because he empathizes with people. And that’s because he’s fundamentally a very good human being down to his core.

    And that’s what we see in his work.

    Cheers

    REBUILDING THE UNIVERSITY AS PREPARATION FOR ASSISTANCE IN OPERATION, GOVERNMENT AND RULE
    We will ‘literally’ have to rebuild a university system that teaches the logics, grammars, natural law and the legal spectrum, the economic spectrum from behavioral to political, and political spectrum from government, to institutions, to war.

    Because for all intents and purposes Harvard, Yale, Stanford and their lesser peers, largegly teach SEDITION against the science of all of the above.

    The study of law, even at our best institutions – or maybe, especially at our best institutions, is literally the organized destruction of our civilization from within using the marxist-to-woke seditions, positive law, and systematic lawfare, that takes avantage of a half dozen holes in our constitution and the benevolent optimism of our high trust trifunctionalism that only a tiny fraction of us understand, our christian religion whose weakness only a few of us understand, our post-hoc common law the luxury of which few understand, and the democratic process of our republican government, which again, very few understand.

    WE TRIED TO MAKE THE WORLD GET ALONG – SMITHIAN FREE TRADE.
    We failed at technological redistribution. We failed at free trade redistributing economic prosperity. We failed at encouraging self-rule and self-determination by self-government and rule of law. We failed at colonization. We have only succeeded at ‘replacement’ and we have decided that we don’t want to do that again.
    NO “ONE SIZE” OF GOVERNMENT FITS ALL

    We created free trade and ended the possibility of empires. There are empires that want the privilege of empires instead of the merit of free trade. And there are countries that are incompetent enough that they need empires and monopoly trade routes to survive.

    Peoples of the world are vastly different, especially in average intelligence, and as such in average norms, traditions, values, institutions, and resulting economies and standards of living.

    The way we ‘get along’ is to return to the ‘conflict of civilizations’ which is now the conflict of federations of advanced civilizations against the empires of failed imperial civilizations.

    Civilizations must satisfy the genetics and consequences of genetics, of the people who are born into them. And that means while natural law is a universal good, the means of bringing about anything close to that human condition requires a spectrum of governments from authoritarian to libertarian.

    There is only one truth. There is only one set of laws of nature. There is only one natural law. There is only one means of rule of law by the natural law. But as for governments that organize cooperation, reproduction, production, distribution and trade, No one size fits all.
