    The connection isn’t clear. 1) the people you have (biological, behavioral) and the people you have (knowledge, understanding, values) are not the same criteria. Governing with the people you have (incentives, constant) is a question of possibility, and governing with the people you have (education) is merely a question of costs and externalities. We can continue to kick the can down the road and NOT produce a ‘bible’ of western civilization, that would solve the problem. Or we can solve the problem despite its cost, in a period where there is high demand for the solution to the problem. 2) civicism, localism, nationalism, evolution, competition vs religion, universalism, globalism, devolution, corruption. Al these problems are the same source: easy female dysgenic and boil the frog vs hard male eugenic and transcend. It’s not like we have an infinite amount of time. The frequency of geological events capable of wiping out humans is higher than the frequency of climate variations. The frequency of astronomic events is lower, but it’s still continuous. The future of mankind is decided right now. this year, next year. A few more years and its over. there are no ‘undiscovered countries’ with reserves of human ability remaining. We have exploited the pool of humans as thoroughly as exploiting the world’s resources.

  • Why Can’t We Respond to COVID (the Deep Answer)

    WHY CAN”T WE RESPOND TO COVID (THE DEEP ANSWER)

    —“Curt: Would a communist government solve the COVID problem better?”–

    Communism is impossible, for reasons we have known for a century now: (a) human cognition is acquisitive (a) humans require good incentive or will find worse ones, (b) economic calculation is impossible (although this is still a matter of scholarly debate). Capitalism isn’t possible for reasons we now know. And we know that the Cosmopolitan Capitalist movement was a war on European Rule of Law of Reciprocity. European rule of law will produce markets and will produce capital concentration, and the gains of consumer capitalism, but will not allow for internationalization (export) of profits and will require nationalization of profits (conversion of profits into commons for the people.) So the communism-capitalism debate was always another Marxist fraud. Communism and Capitalism are ‘rule by men’. Rule of Law prohibits rule by men, and prohibits the corruption of communism, and the criminality of capitalism. DO YOU MEAN THE CHINESE MODEL? If you mean is the Chinese Authoritarian, Expansionist, Racist, Nationalist, State Capitalist model superior? Well, The Chinese didn’t copy the communists – they aren’t a communist government. Instead, they copied the Nazis – they are a Fascist Government. And what they have done, as the Germans did, is prove that Fascism, not democracy, not social democracy, not communism, won the war of political models of the 19th and 20th Centuries. Why? Because (a) intolerance for political competition, (good), (b) desperate attempt to maintain legitimacy by keeping the people happy, (good), (c) using debt (state capitalism) instead of forced labor (state socialism), (good), (e) creating an economy rather than a military (good), (f) using that economy to build the world’s dominant military (good), (g) CONTEXT This is a great example of repeating my message that there is only one possible form of economy: mixed economy of state labor, subsidized labor, market organization of market labor, private investment in short term returns, and state investment in long term capital investment returns; and there is only only one possible form of government: dynamic Military-Authoritarian, Republic Market, and Social Democratic Redistributive, depending upon conditions. Because there is no steady-state in nature, and all civilizations must constantly adapt to change. The Romans understood this and we don’t. There is a good reason for constitutional military aristocracy and monarchs in times of war and crisis, upper-middle class and republican governments in peace, and lower houses of parliament for common people in times of windfalls. The only problem is developing the method of shifting from primarily republican (economic), to monarchic (war), to redistribution (windfalls). This is, as I understand it, the only remaining question in political theory: that criteria. CREATING OUR FRAGILITY The Jewish postwar anti-European initiative to move the failed communist movement to America and to change first to neo-marxism (cultural marxism) to undermine western law tradition history and culture, then Postmodernism (social construction of falsehoods through repetition) and feminism (undermining the family and tradition) was successful in demilitarizing western civilization in Europe postwar, in America in response to Vietnam. The military still conducts continuous exercises and frequent self-falsification exercises. Meaning they run war games. These wargames serve to train for emergencies, and test the organization. But without traditional military service or militia service by a large number of men, or a requirement for military service to serve in politics, ‘empirical pessimistic, risk-driven, military epistemology’ has been eradicated from not only the political sphere, but the bureaucracy, and the public. We have failed to maintain traditional European “anti-fragility”. And instead, become fragile – unable to adapt to shocks. It’s the military experience that makes organizations able to adapt to shocks, rather than ‘settle into sedentary expectations of continuous growth’. Instead, as happens in all organizations not subject to stress and shocks, work expands to fill all available time, and ‘employee income and benefits’ seek to consume all available capital – and the core mission is sacrificed for bureaucratic consumption. This applies to state monopolies and publicly traded companies alike. The only continuous market pressure that maintains ‘good civic behavior’ is in the small and medium business owners, and independent craftsmen and laborers. this is why there is such a political divide: the chief function of a college education is to allow people to exit the market and responsibility for outcomes. And with the decline in farming as the primary small business, and with the intentional absence of required education in economics and law to make the public informed, we create an ignorant population, lacking both republican (economic), and aristocratic (military) education – and able to adapt to change and shocks. So when we encounter a shock, it is not possible to switch from social democratic redistributive governance, bureaucratic, social, and economic organization, to republican and govern like statesmen independent of one’s political party, but we can’t any longer imagine shifting to the military order, in which all of us must sacrifice for the common good. THE COVID FAILURE The WHO is first and foremost a political organization founded in the postwar period where Americans maintained the British empire, took over the UK Pound as the World Reserve Currency, and using its navy, regulated the world standard of political behavior. But today it is paid for, and not by Americans – but by Chinese – so it is a compromised organization of no value whatsoever. The WHO, World Bank, UN, and NATO are effectively anti-European political organizations. But at least they aren’t domestic government organizations. Conversely. Homeland Security and CDC are both failures and they will continue to be. The HS, Disaster Recovery, and CDC do not regularly run self-falsifying war games that are designed to test their points of failure. They have no influence or responsibility for transforming American manufacturing to the production of strategic necessities for emergencies of national scale. They were designed for the ‘small’ problem of hurricanes not for the large problems of war on our economy, war on our infrastructure, war by plague, by accidental plague, or by say, volcanic eruption. Why? Because it’s expensive and that would mean devoting money to TESTING whether they were capable rather than employee intellectual satisfaction, career advancement, income consumption, and benefits consumption. (which is how those organizations work). The only organization capable of performing crisis-organization is the military. And thanks to the Clinton-Obama undermining of the military by turning it from purely empirical, purely, results-oriented, purely crisis-oriented mission, into a social program for redistribution of income, away from working-class American males, it doesn’t appear our military can perform that crisis function any longer either. The simple example to illustrate the problem is that Prussia alone created European martial excellence and created the german economic miracle by consequence of its discipline -where the french had to have a bloody revolution that they have not an never will recover from. The Chinese had the red army and could recover – India doesn’t have that army and can’t. The Arab world can’t even make an army and has to rely on terrorists to get their strategic work done. Hence the rise of Turkey again. The foundation of western civilization is the military tradition. It’s where our politics, laws, technology, commerce, our reason, empiricism, science, medicine, and rapid evolution came from. It’s where our adaptability came from. It’s where our roman adaptive government came from. It’s where our commercial and technological adaptability came from. And for reasons historians will explain in great detail – but are primarily due to the postwar movement of civilizational undermining from Europe – where it succeeded in creating the destruction by Jewish Bolshevism in Russia, and causing European fascism to resist it, creating the second world war that destroyed the European civilization and empires – to America, where the Jewish bolshevik communist, neo-Marxist, postmodernist, anti-male-feminist, Human Difference Denial movement (really, the counter-eugenics movement). The most likely candidate for our decline is upon granting women the franchise in exchange for their entry into the workforce thanks to automation, we failed to give women a separate house of government from men. Because in retrospect, as in Rome, it was women and the underclasses that fell for the false promises of Marxism, Postmodernism, feminism, and political correctness – just as women and slaves (the underclass) fell for the false promise of Christianity and gave us the dark ages. Welcome to the next dark age. Welcome to our failure to pass the great filter. Welcome to the recognition of why the universe is empty of advanced life. The miracle of cooperation. The miracle of the division of labor. Contains the seeds of its own demise: The failure to persist the martial empiricism The failure to persist selection pressure by market means. And the exhaustion of planetary resources

  • And China Isn’t Communist – It’s Nazi

    THE FACTORS OF CHINESE ECONOMIC GROWTH – AND CHINA ISN’T COMMUNIST – IT’S NAZI. AND INTOLERANT FACISM WON THE BATTLE OF THE 20TH – NOT COMMUNISM, SOCIALISM, SOCIAL DEMOCRACY, OR CLASSICAL LIBERALISM

    —“CURT: What are the factors of economic growth in China are possible because it’s a communist country?”—

    1) They have a devoted, nationalistic, military (with a chip on its shoulder), the red army, convinced of their ethnic and cultural superiority, and comitted to china’s destiny, to return to its traditional position as ‘the center of the world’, where it can force implementation of policy both internally and in the world at large.  Unlike europeans who colonize poorly, and don’t force integration, the chinese han have colonize something like seven countries, and forcibly integrated them, into han civilization to the point where they all believe they’re han the way south americans all believe they’re spanish. 2) They have an authoritarian government, running the empire as a business, with a netowrk of what would historically be called noble families, that’s backed by that army that can enforce the government’s policy. 3) They have a very long tradition of professional bureaucracy and just like the best industrires, they they deliberately  ‘grow’ professional governmetn leadership by the gradual promotion of those who are successful at local levels into increasing degrees of responsibility. Compare that to the quality of people running demoncrat cities today. 4) They have a vast labor pool – the only cheap labor pool with a +100 IQ – meaning the most industrializable pool of poor remaining in the world. For some reason the chinese do not appear to be paying the rural-iq tax that other civilzations have. 5) They use intelligence (Spies), their international students and overseas citizens as spies and thieves, and conduct outright thefts, by every means possible to obtain technology. They required domestication of technoogy by foreign countries and training of their people in exchange for access to their markets – nullifying the value of investing in their markets. They used their cheap labor and importe technology to slowly take over world industrial production (just as the USA did to Europe in the (1800’s), and just as Americans and Russians stole and took advantage of german technology postwar. 6) They used the invention of Regan era American financial credit system (digital money) to make all these investments so that they didn’t have to use the communist model of forced labor in order to afford it – and therefore avoided the communist-socialist problem of ‘incentives and impossibility of economic calculation’. Both forced labor in the soviet model, or credit labor in the chinese and american models, will work until they won’t work any longer. Both american and chinese will stop working about abut the same time. HOWEVER Let’s correct a perception. China is a Fascist, not a communist country. We can’t face this painful truth yet, but the Chinese didn’t copy the communists – they aren’t a communist government. Instead, they copied the Nazis – they are a Fascist Government. Fascism constists of: Nationalist, Racist, Autarkic, Mixed Economy, Opposition to european Liberalism, degeneracy, mob rule, and opposition to Jewish Cosmopolitanism (one-world government principles, subjugating all, depriving people of sovereignty, and self-determination). And most of all their opposition to American expansionary Democracy – the failed project to spread democracy beyond northern European peoples who are uniquely able to practice it because of genetics and culture and institutions. The rason is rather obvous -that china would break into many small countries like europe – and like the USA is very likely to this century – if democracy prevaile there. The history and mission of ‘one china’ depends on the authority to use force to maintain northern han rule over southnern not-han technology and industry, and to eventually conquer and exterinate tibetans so that china’s river water sources – all of which begin there, can’t be strategically cut. And rule of the south china seas so that her dependence on shipping can’t be cut.

    And what the Chinese have done, as the Germans did, is prove that Fascism, not democracy, not social democracy, not communism, won the war of political models of the 19th and 20th Centuries. Why? Because (a) intolerance for political competition, (good), (b) ethnocentrism (racism) (which is good, we just can’t say that in the west), (c) party practices desperate efforts to maintain legitimacy by keeping the people happy, (good), (d) using debt (state capitalism) instead of forced labor (state socialism), (good), (e) creating an economy first rather than a military first (good), (f) then used that economy to build the world’s dominant military (good). (g) so over time,  they can replace the USA’s dollar as a reserve currency (good), becuase then the USA can’t afford it’s military (good for them, bad for us), and china will become the dominant power in the world (i dunno if that’s good). PARALLEL BETWEEN GERMANY AND CHINA China is practicing fascist, racist, national socialism (state capitalism). Naziism won the battle of the 20th century. It just won in china. and it’s winning. CHINA China was genetically, culturally, institutionally, and technologically superior and had ethnically spread cross near countries and evolved them, China had a long educational history. China had a profound bureaucracy. China had a more than competent military China had a more than competent workforce China had an industrial advantage over the eastern continent. China had been wronged by the British empire, China had had a failed ‘new government’ with terrible consequences. GERMANY Germany was genetically, culturally, institutionally, and technologically superior and had spread across nearby countries and evolved them. Germany was the intellectual and academic core of europe. Germany had the best bureaucracy in the advanced world. Germany had a better more advanced industry and polity that was a quality advantage over the western continent. Germany had a martial aristocracy – the best in the world. Germany had been wronged by napoleon (destroying the core of Europe – the holy roman empire) Germany had been wronged in ww1 (attempting to restore herself and her people) Germany would be wronged in ww2 (attempting to restore her self and her people) THE MODEL FOR BOTH Ethnonationalism, State Capitalism, State Secular Religion of Nationalism, State Intolerance for competition, State education and indoctrination, full employment, amazing benefits. The unparalleled devotion and unity not seen before. An army of society. PERFECTION … BUT It was perfect for both countries. But … … AH overreached and practiced ideology over empiricism. … Just as Xi Jinping has overreached and is practicing ideology over empiricism. THIS IS THE BEST MODEL FOR MAN: Ethnonationalism, State Capitalism, State Secular Religion of Nationalism, State Intolerance for competition, State education and indoctrination, full employment, amazing benefits.

  • FULL ANSWER OF WHY ROME FELL: OVEREXTENSION OF THE HEROIC POPULATION Short Versi

    FULL ANSWER OF WHY ROME FELL: OVEREXTENSION OF THE HEROIC POPULATION

    Short Version: The western Roman empire dramatically overextended but would have recovered, even from the invasions except for the folly of slaves(immigrants) and Christianity(Judaism / Marxism / Neo-Marxism / Feminism / Postmodernism), and finally the Islamic invasion and destruction of the civilized worlds.

    REASONS

    1 – Overextension of Colonization: Celtic holocaust created the opportunity for north germanic migration, just as defeating Germany and Europe in WW2 left a vacuum for marxism Judaism and Islam today. And leaving African colonialization incomplete left opportunity for Islam.

    2 – Overextension of Range – from the Mediterranean coastal army, with naval transport and strike capability – which is cheap – to a primarily territorial military among hostile less developed people that was expensive. In other words, the cost of domesticating (settling, urbanizing, spreading literacy, commerce, and law) Europe was too high for the returns. (just like today)

    3 – Overextension of Agrarian Economy – the empire needed industrialization. The greeks failed to reform their economy. The Romans improved administration and organization – second to none

    4 – Overextension of Technology – the empire given the technology at the time, which led to corruption, assassinations, and use of force to obtain rents, rather than profitable service of the state, to obtain status. (just like today)

    Bad Strategic Response to Overextension – Splitting the empire with the trade wealth in the greek east but the aristocracy in the roman west. Just like we have all these foreign costs in Europe and in the middle east just to protect Europe from oil price catastrophes – that don’t affect us.

    Overextension of Elites Necessary To Govern – empire so that the ratio of elites and middle class to conquered and slaves was too high to rule, just like we have too many non-whites to rule today, and the middle east to govern thru Israel and the monarchies today.

    Overextension of soldiery beyond supplying demographic – so that the military was no longer ‘citizens’ – but mercenaries – (Just like Hispanics, Blacks, and Muslims in the military today who are there for a jobs program not patriotism and ‘the people’)

    Overextension of Immigration (Slaves): slaves were the old world’s version of third world immigrants today. These people lack the values traditions and culture and if brought in sufficient numbers will always rebel against the host population until they defeat them.

    Overextension of TOLERANCE: Christianity undermined values like Christianity v2 (postmodernism-feminism-multiculturalism-equalitarianism) undermined our values. They shifted focus from European zest for life and achievement, for ignorance of life and fantasy after death. Christianity without warfare to dominate it, makes men weak. So Christianity prevented the restoration of the roman empire.

    Overextension and Vulnerability to Plague: The soldiers brought back either measles or smallpox or the plague from the middle east and decimated the population.

    Fragility to Shocks: The Muslim conquests destroyed the economies of the developed world, profit from conquest was exhausted by 1100, and islam’s mandatory ignorance reduced the developed civilizations to ashes.

    Judaism to undermine. Christianity to weaken, Islam to destroy the cancer of the abaramic religions – the war on civilization, evolution, and life itself.

    The answer for Rome and for America (europe) is the same: ethno-nationalization of the organs of state and organs of the state, and finance, at all levels, and specialization in running the state – not just here but anywhere we can function as a military, administrative, judicial elite (without outbreeding).

    Gibbon gave a classic formulation of reasons why the Fall happened. He gave great weight to internal decline as well as to attacks from outside the Empire.

    —“The story of its ruin is simple and obvious; and, instead of inquiring why the Roman empire was destroyed, we should rather be surprised that it had subsisted so long. The victorious legions, who, in distant wars, acquired the vices of strangers and mercenaries, first oppressed the freedom of the republic, and afterwards violated the majesty of the purple. The emperors, anxious for their personal safety and the public peace, were reduced to the base expedient of corrupting the discipline which rendered them alike formidable to their sovereign and to the enemy; the vigour of the military government was relaxed, and finally dissolved, by the partial institutions of Constantine; and the Roman world was overwhelmed by a deluge of Barbarians. … (AND) … As the happiness of a future life is the great object of religion, we may hear without surprise or scandal that the introduction, or at least the abuse of Christianity, had some influence on the decline and fall of the Roman empire… the soldiers’ pay was lavished on the useless multitudes of both sexes who could only plead the merits of abstinence and chastity… If the decline of the Roman empire was hastened by the conversion of Constantine, his victorious religion broke the violence of the fall, and mollified the ferocious temper of the conquerors.”—

    THE FUTURE OF MANKIND IS DECIDED RIGHT NOW. THIS YEAR, NEXT YEAR.

    —“So it really is a fight between civicism and religion for supremacy”—

    The connection isn’t clear.

    1) the people you have (biological, behavioral) and the people you have (knowledge, understanding, values) are not the same criteria.

    Governing with the people you have (incentives, constant) is a question of possibility, and governing with the people you have (education) is merely a question of costs and externalities.

    We can continue to kick the can down the road and NOT produce a ‘bible’ of western civilization, that would solve the problem.

    Or we can solve the problem despite its cost, in a period where there is high demand for the solution to the problem.

    2) civicism, localism, nationalism, evolution, competition vs religion, universalism, globalism, devolution, corruption.

    Al these problems are the same source: easy female dysgenic and boil the frog vs hard male eugenic and transcend. It’s not like we have an infinite amount of time.

    The frequency of geological events capable of wiping out humans is higher than the frequency of climate variations. The frequency of astronomic events is lower, but it’s still continuous.

    The future of mankind is decided right now. this year, next year.

    A few more years and its over. there are no ‘undiscovered countries’ with reserves of human ability remaining. We have exploited the pool of humans as thoroughly as exploiting the world’s resources.

  • Religion is a Technology. We Don’t Need to Prove It’s True. Just Judge Its Effects (good and Bad)

    RELIGION IS A TECHNOLOGY. WE DONT NEED TO PROVE IT”S TRUE. JUST JUDGE ITS EFFECTS (GOOD AND BAD) by Frey Harman (edited for clarity) What we need to do is disprove this idea of needing to prove things. [CD: Or claim religion is ‘true’ rather than effective and quite possibly necessary.] Religion is a technology. Technology either works or it doesn’t. Science can’t do anything to technology except explain it. If we demarcate science from technology, science seeks general rules of the universe – to understand. Technology is usually developed by trial and error to serve a purpose – to act. And, [psychlogial and social] technology isn’t even based on science, nor informed by science. Often, technology outpaces science. I’m not sure why philosophy would have any more to say about the matter of religion as a technology than science does: regardless of whether it’s true or what general rules religions follow, the technology works or doesn’t, and works beneficially or harmfully. Nassim Taleb was somewhat influential in snapping me out of the false dichotomy between atheism and monotheistic fundamentalism – making me realize they’re two sides of the same coin; two interpretations derived ultimately from the same error. The error of taking things too literally. —“When someone discusses religious beliefs, he does not necessarily mean belief in the epistemic sense, and the relevance of the epistemic sense of the term decreases the further back ones goes in the fixation of the creed. Rather, such notions are rather closer to the root of “belief”: beloved, a sense of commitment, something related to the notion of trust. It is not coincidental that “credere” is related to letter of credit or financial transactions that entail trust (see Armstrong 1994; Boyer 2001). …. Accordingly it is an extremely naive interpretation to think that religious ‘beliefs’ map to the ‘justified true belief’ standards of modern epistemology (see Ichikawa and Steup 2014); it is naive to examine the supernatural aspect of religion as anything but epiphenomenal. One needs to think of religious ‘belief’ as closer to a form of trusting, as a form of action, or a willingness to take action, and, most crucially of all, as a set of interdicts upon action. Further, religion establishes a categorical demarcation between sacred and profane, and one that cannot be violated (see Eliade 1959). The sacred is not open to ‘rationalization’ what we don’t understand is not necessarily irrational, and it might have reasons that can be probed only across generations of experience and experimentation.”— Taleb

    By CurtD Great quote. This is correct. I state the same thing in economic language: by Belief (love, trust, respect, submission of self), religion (debt performance, oath), and anthropomorphisms (systems of measurement, choice, in payment of debt, in exchange for love and respect) provide the most intuitive system of behavior manageable by man. So as usual, Taleb is less ‘scientific’ and more ‘literary’ than I am.
