    THE FINAL WORD ON FREE WILL

    FREE WILL: The most sophomoric debate in philosophy. The question arises only to the degree that we are responsible for actions that externalize costs onto others. In other words, it’s a LEGAL and MORAL question. So the sophistry originates in a failure of OPERATIONAL definition.

    Every other question asks something else: “What limits of all kinds narrow or influence any given decision in any given context?” This is the study of neural economy and cognitive biases. So again, operationalize a question into a complete sentence – or its sophistry.

    This is why I make the case that philosophy consists almost entirely of sophistry one step removed from theology, and is largely dead for other than the purpose of determining a preference that is otherwise undecidable except as a preference.

  • A PAGAN(HEATHEN), A CHRISTIAN, AN ARYAN, A WARRIOR, A MAN TRANSCENDENT I am a He

    A PAGAN(HEATHEN), A CHRISTIAN, AN ARYAN, A WARRIOR, A MAN TRANSCENDENT

    I am a Heathen if 1) I accept the laws of nature as binding on all of existence; and 2) if I treat nature as sacred and to be contemplated, protected and improved; and 3) I treat the world as something to transform closer to an Eden in whatever ways I can before I die; and 4) if I deny the existence of a supreme being with dominion over the physical laws, and treat all gods, demigods, heroes, saints, figures of history, and ancestors as characters with whom I may speak to in private contemplation in the hope of gaining wisdom and synchronicity from having done so. And 5) if I participate with others of my society in repetition of oaths, repetition of myths, repetition of festivals, repetition of holidays, and the perpetuation of all of the above to my offspring. And 6) if I leave open that synchronicity appears to exist now and then, and that it may be possible that there is a scientific explanation for it, other than just humans subject to similar stimuli producing similar intuitions and therefore similar ends.

    As far as I know this is all that is required of me to be a Heathen.

    I am a Christian if I have adopted the teaching of christianity: 1) the eradication of hatred from the human heart. 2) the extension of kinship love to non-kin. 3) the demand for personal acts of charity and personal cost, 4) the extension of exhaustive forgiveness before punishment, enserfment, enslavement, death, or war.

    As far as I know, this is all that is required of me to be a Christian.

    I am an Aryan if 1) I proudly display my excellences so that others seek to achieve or exceed them; 2) I seek competition to constantly test and improve myself so I do not weaken; 3) I swear to speak no insult and demand it; 4) I speak the truth and demand it; 5) I take nothing not paid for and demand it; 6) I grant sovereignty to my kin and demand it; 7) I insure my people regardless of condition, and demand it; and in doing so leave nothing but voluntary markets of cooperation between sovereign men; and to discipline, enserf, enslave, ostracize or kill those who do otherwise; 8) to not show fear or cowardice, abandon my brothers, or retreat, and 9) to die a good death in the service of my kin, my clan, my tribe and my people.

    As far as I know, this is all that is required of me to be an Aryan.

    I am a Warrior in that 1) we will prepare for war so perfectly that none dare enter it against us. 2) Once we go to war, we do so with joy, with eagerness, and with passion, and without mercy, without constraint, and without remorse; And 3) before ending war, we shall defeat an enemy completely such that no other dares a condition of our enemy, and the memory of the slaughter lives a hundred generations.

    As far as I know, this is all that is required of me to be a Warrior.

    And that is the objective of heroes, demigods, and gods. We leave the rest for ordinary men.

    WHY DO WE ERECT STATUES TO FALLEN ENEMIES?

    Why do we erect statues to fallen enemies? To demonstrate loyalty. Loyalty is the only means of overcoming differences in frame: religious(emotional), rational(practical), or political (necessary). So despite our trifunctionalism, Europeans maintained loyalty to one another.

    Our civilization depends on loyalty to the commons that other civilizations do not practice (and cannot). So we honor the enemy if they demonstrated loyalty. And we dishonor the enemy if they don’t.

    Why? Because any group that demonstrates loyalty can be integrated into our civilization. And any group that does not demonstrate loyalty cannot be integrated into our civilization. This is why jews and Muslims and many others cannot integrate. They practice kin or cult loyalty, not POLITICAL LOYALTY.

    Loyalty eliminates the need for cognitive monopoly of frames. This is a core reason for the success of western civilization: by maintaining trifuctionalism we maintain competition between cognitive frames, increasing innovation, adaptation, evolution, … using loyalty.

    This loyalty is possible largely because we were unable to concentrate production like the river civilizations, but able to organize states, unlike the steppe civilizations. So we evolved in a Goldilocks zone, that made continuous recursive innovation adaptation and evolution.

    THE UNIFICATION OF SCIENCE, LAW, PHILOSOPHY, AND RELIGION

    Now dead friend, David, fellow traveler, student of world religions, computerizing and quoting every primary book by author. Looks at me:

    • “I thought you were a teacher, but you’re a prophet. Teacher’s speak. Prophet’s roar.” –

    It was so odd but I begin to understand what he meant.

    Not that I want this to be interpreted as self-aggrandizement but that P results in the unification of science, philosophy, and religion, into a single system of thought that’s disruptive of all others: a ‘Roar’.

    I don’t matter. I’m just born in the right time and place.

    That said, given that under P, there is no difference between science, law, philosophy, and religion, then perhaps prophet as disruptor is as good a label as scientist, law-giver, or philosopher. It’s just a matter of which grammar (vocabulary) you use to convey the same meaning.

    Because under P, we observe the grammars as a spectrum of graceful increase in precision at the cost of meaning, or graceful decrease in precision to decrease the cost of meaning.

    All that matters is that the paradigm is consistent, correspondent, reciprocal, and possible.

  • Ethnic Identity: It’s Not Belief

    IT’S NOT BELIEF
    You have it backward. It’s not belief. Belief provides identity. Identity provides loyalty. Identity and Loyalty must provide returns (benefit) that competes in the market for identity and loyalty. So belief is only the narrative that children, women, the dim, and ignorant peasantry require in order to justify their loyalty despite their low status. Those with status merely follow the rational incentives of profiting from constructing order that benefits the peasantry.
     
    All humans follow incentives. The production of identity (group) and loyalty (cost-bearing), requires the production of incentives, and the incentives must in fact provide superior returns. The function of the elites in ethnicity is to ensure the preservation of the institutes of cultural production which maintain the identity and loyalty to the identity, and the returns on loyalty to identity, and therefore the ethnicity (race).
     
    Our ancient enemy conducted a war against our institutions of cultural production by replacing our elites – who told us the truth of the natural world and how to compete in it – with alien elites – who repeated the Feminine, Abrahamic, Jewish, Christian false promise of utopia in the afterlife, replacing it with the feminine, Abrahamic, Jewish false promise of utopia after men, and particular the world’s elite men – ethnic European males.
     
    And enough of our women and men bought this false promise, this repeat of the Jewish-Christian destruction of the ancient world’s institutions of cultural production, that under democracy they were able to systematically destroy our institutions of cultural production, the identity, the loyalty, and the returns of our ethnicity.
     
    The solution is to suppress this female method of warfare against identity, loyalty, returns, and the institutions of cultural production that make them possible, as thoroughly as we have suppressed the male method of warfare against the same. The only difference between female and male warfare, is that the male destroys capital quickly from without and the female destroys capital from within.
     
    The problem is solvable with nothing more than an improvement of our law. There is only one necessary ‘belief’ and that is in the evidentiary truth written in the fabric of the universe, that is totally free of the ignorance, error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism, fictionalism, and deceit of man.
     
    The ethnic European genetic superiority is a fact: neoteny with, size, strength, sexual dimorphism, and a balance between empathizing and systematizing. The ethnic European culture WAS superior. It provided the most continuous rapid evolution of man by the most continuous discovery, application, and adaptation to the laws of nature – and of behavior.
     
    So the Christian desire for a belief in falsehood in order to preserve their egos, and preserve their egos by preserving their false status, from identity in a false promise of utopia, and the great lie that religion is universal to man, and that all life is sacred, rather than all kinship is sacred, is the source of the fall of Europeans for the second time.
     
    If there is a god he spoke only one word, because there is only one law in the universe: “Evolve”, Resulting in the law of Compete, Invent, Adapt, Evolve, Or Die. There is no ‘status’ there is no ‘peace’ there is only obedience to god’s law: discover, invent, apply, adapt, evolve, and pay god’s ‘tax’ in exchange for survival by doing so.
     
    Else you are not a servant of god, the universe, man, or kin – but your own petty ignorant animal egos. There is no solution to war against you but war. And you cannot defeat an enemy on your terms – only his. The enemy is among us. They can only war while among us. Deprive the enemy of the host and it will die.

  • THE SOLUTION We flatten the inequality curve by ending the possibility of its em

    THE SOLUTION
    We flatten the inequality curve by ending the possibility of its emergence, by continuously reducing the reproduction of the bottom, who are unfit for continuous evolutionary innovation and adaptation: the niche exploited by western man.

    It’s the only permanent solution to the stress of inequality – being left behind – as defects that limit continuous innovation, adaptation, and evolution accumulate in those unfit for continuous innovation, adaptation, and evolution that is the foundation of western civilization.

    Where continuous innovation, adaptation, and evolution is produced by reciprocally insuring via arms the self-determination by self-determined means by enforcement of sovereignty in demonstrated interests and reciprocity in display word and deed leaving only markets for survival.

    If you understand these paragraphs, you will understand the secret of western civilization – we discovered the most parsimonious and rapidly innovative, adaptive,and evolutionary group strategy possible for man – and the entire world is justifiably threatened and terrified by it.

    Western Man and Western Civilization are genetically superior enough, and as civilizational superior in the extreme, that European civilization is an existential threat to prior civilizations as industrialization was to agrarianism.

    So, by simply trying to end lying in politics economics and commerce I’ve come to the end of my journey, with the operational mathematics (logic) of the universe as a very simple algorithm.

    The choice of whether the natural aristocracy shall profit from the domestication of man’s behavior and his labor – rent seeking – with dysgenic results. Or to profit from innovation, adaptation, and evolution of man himself, with eugenic results.

    The difference is only treatment of the bottom as an asset to be increased (like cattle, slaves, or serfs), or a liability to be decreased (like barbarians). So the difference in rate of evolution of civilizations is the choice of treatment of the unfit for peerage.

    Each civilization developed a concept of time nature, man, and of archetypes (gods) as either stagnant (balance-china), cyclical, or progressive (European). Only europeans didn’t abuse time – we invented the OODA-LOOP group strategy. (look it up)

    We’ve emerged in a calm period in geological history, we ate everything we could get our hands on until we resorted to farming.

    But the entire universe is hostile to life, and our little blue marble, in a galaxy in a rural part of space, in a rural part of our galaxy, living largely in a temperate zone between unbearable heat and unbearable cold, and wet oceans and dry deserts, in the few ‘green’ spots.

    So, the reason no one is succeeding in a political solution is that every solution is designed under agrarian (past) ethics and morality where power and wealth are earned by parasitism on a vast peasantry, the scale of which now exhausts the planet’s capacity for it.

    So I should point out that while white science, technology, industrialization and medicine served the more primitive civilizations as did our own, our eugenics didn’t. And our civilization produced those gains largely because of our eugenic institutions.

    The Chinese however, have at least chosen to ensure that they are the last man standing – by preventing the most aggressive dysgenic civilization (jews and Muslims) from introgression. And preventing the intermediate civilization that tolerates introgression (europeans) too.

    Agreed. Like I’ve said over and over again: they aren’t communist, they’re fascist. And they proved fascism won the debate of the industrial age – not capitalism or communism. Fascism is a defense against communism and the liberalism that makes communism possible.

  • PATH TO RIGHT VICTORY PItching an endpoint is fantasy storytelling without an op

    PATH TO RIGHT VICTORY

    PItching an endpoint is fantasy storytelling without an operational means of bringing it into being with the resources at your disposal. Generals don’t fight wars with the men, weapons, supply lines, resources, strategy&tactics they prefer. They fight wars with what they have. As such the winners of all wars are those not that choose endpoints, but that choose the accumulation of resources to CHOOSE the endpoint.

    All of you as factions, stuck in the fantasy role-playing game of unconsciously trying to sell an endpoint rather than selling a sequence of victories that accumulate resources (men) who have a common real interest in victories but uncommon fantasies of endpoints.

    In other words, you’re trying to win a political game with cheap political attention with cheap stories that have worked only under a European time window that no longer exists. The unifying message is defeating the enemy, not the divisive endpoint.

    The group that doesn’t tell stories, but accumulates victories by defeating the enemy, will accumulate resources victories and legitimacy necessary to influence the endpoint.

    So factions need to stop playing the loser’s game of selling an endpoint, and instead, selling and accumulating small but increasing victories that talk about how evil the concrete existential enemy and threat is, and not causing division over unknowable unachievable ends.

    There is no endpoint message that will sell other than victories. And there are no victories that allow the accumulation of power without a brand under which associate with those victories, and an organization that manages that brand.

    And that brand must be nothing more concrete than righting an injustice by defeating the existential threat of an enemy. That will unify people. So you want an abstract symbol brand to claim victory on without an endpoint that creates division. Converge power.

    This is why I generally don’t interact with the right because nazis, white nationalists, fundamentalists, and even civnats, are successfully factionalized and made weak by the fact that they provide the enemy the target that they need, making the reactionary the enemy: suckers.

    The enemy works by undermining anything concrete: leaders, messages, endpoints. So the only way to defeat the enemy is to make THEM the story. And imitate trump by making the enemy defend the fact that you’ve made them the story. Trying to get cheap attention serves the enemy.

    So the enemy counts on you trying cheaply build coalitions with leaders, symbolism, and endpoints, when the only way to defeat them is with slow, constant, material victories, where you demonize the enemy, saturate the narrative with stories of the enemy, controlling the story.

    Why isn’t it obvious to the right? Because the right is just as emotional as the left and as anti-intellectual as the left is anti-rational. So the right is operating from the worst possible position: their own instincts.
