  • The Cause of Hierarchy and State

    May 3, 2020, 6:58 PM [M]an desires consumption, consumption is increased by opportunity, and opportunity is increased by liberty, but so is irresponsibility. And so is free riding, parasitism, fraud, crime, immigration, conversion, conquest, and genocide. The state evolved to incrementally suppress local parasitism decreasing local transaction costs, in exchange for paying taxes to pay the cost of decreasing local transaction costs. This made markets possible where only primitive trade previously existed. Man is amoral by nature, and pragmatic. By the institution of parenting, acculturation, indoctrination, training, laws, restitution, punishment, and prevention we invest in his domestication. Man develops theology, philosophy, ideologies, rationalizations, myths, fantasies, and various other forms of frauds, to attempt to obscure and justify his free riding, parasitism, fraud, crime, and organized crime. In order to produce the suppression of free riding, parasitism, fraud, crime, and organized crime, requires a power law of institutions of prevention, investigation, dispute resolution, prosecution, restitution, punishment and prevention. In order to produce a market requires a pareto distribution of assets, so that the organization of networks in an market can produce a complex division of labor and its returns without which the terms freedom and liberty have no meaning. In order to produce a society that tolerates market competition and the suppression of free riding, parasitism, fraud, crime, and organized crime, requires the resulting distribution of rewards satisfy a marginal nash equilibrium. Given three possible means of coercion: force-defense (Military-police, government), trade-boycott(commerce-law), and advocacy+insurance-undermining+ostracization(social,education,religion), elites will combine to use and misuse these skills in a competition. Given that Man varies greatly from barely human to superhuman in physical, social, and intellectual ability, and sexual, social, economic, political, and military value, and given the power, pareto, and nash necessities of distributions, man will sort by value to others by his value in those markets – producing networks of competing and overlapping hierarchies that we call sexual, social, economic, and political class. As such, rule of law and the independent judiciary provide a market for the suppression of criminality by not only individuals and groups of individuals, but elites in all three dimensions of elites, such that sovereignty, liberty and freedom are maintained DESPITE the presence of necessary hierarchies.

  • From 2018: Predictions

    (reminder to repost via James Knowles) —“Given the current accelerating rate of ideological and racial polarization, how likely is it in America that the country will enter an era of large-scale sectarian violence at some point in this century?”— A Friend

    by Curt Doolittle, The Propertarian Institute, Kiev, Ukraine I’ve stated since 2006 that we would have a violent revolution between 2020 and 2025. I stated that the economy would fail by 2008 (it did) would not recover until at least ‘14 (I was right), that would peak its recovery in ‘17/18 (I was right) and that the next correction would coincide with demographic, political, and economic collapse, at the very same moment that american military and political power would be impossible to sustain the remains of the british empire we inherited at the war’s end. (I will be correct.) I know this because of economics, demographics, the conflict of civilizations, and the great power struggles that result. The entire suite of socialist experiments worldwide across the 20th century have failed, and so the right (classical liberal rule of law) would have won if not for immigration overwhelming the country via the six massive-immigration-cities. However, since the left was successful in achieving through third world immigration and the destruction of the nuclear family what they could not achieve through their ideas, the only solution to intolerable conflict is separation. Both Communist-Antifa/BLM/Soros and the Nationalist-Right Coalitions were very close to starting a war after the Trump victory overturned the left’s belief in victory, and had Charlottesville been slightly more violent such that the Right wingers defended themselves with the rather vast arsenal they had with them, it would have started there. But all that occurred in the aftermath has been the elimination of the nazi symbolism from the hard right, and the down-funding of BLM/Antifa by Soros, who has instead switched to funding the anti-gun movement to achieve the same ends. What’s occurring right now is that the Trump administration is serving as a sufficient proxy for violence. The right’s current plan is to wait until the left attempts to prosecute Trump for (correctly) attempting to shut down. The left is waiting for their long awaited win. Meanwhile the very few adults left in positions of power understand that any misstep by either side will result in the bloodiest civil war in human history. And I say that having a very clear understanding of how fragile our prosperity is, and how easy it is to fall into all against all fighting for food and water. We are going to have some sort of civil war, the outcome of which I suspect will be devolution of central powers to the states or regions, since this is the only means of preserving the military, retirement, and medical services, while cities, states, and regions determine their cultures, norms, and values. The principle change is that laws on permissible behavior and therefore citizenship will fragment into the old european model. After which the european experiment will follow suit. I know, this ‘reformation’ will occur, because I’m going to make certain of it. And I’m going to make certain of it for the simple reason that the civil war will happen and a random outcome after millions are dead and the world descends into war, is far worse than an agreeable settlement.

  • Dear Normies: On Intelligence

    May 4, 2020, 8:39 PM DEAR NORMIES That’s not what intelligence does for you. Available intelligence vs demonstrated intelligence. You can have it, you must be willing to and enjoy using it, and you must be wiling to and enjoy using it competitively, and using it competitively by working harder and longer than your peers. Intelligence is the rate at which you learn by identifying patterns of constant relations (opportunities) and inconstant relations (errors, falsehoods, costs) As IQ increases from todays ~105/106 – the point at which you can follow instructions, repair a machine, learn by reading (build a world model from written instructions instead of being instructed), the rate at which you can learn and detect errors increases (the scope of the world model you can construct from facts outside direct physical experience). About every seven points (half a standard deviation) we can distinguish differences in ability. At about every fifteen (one full difference) we have distinct advantages over one another. As we increase in that difference we have increasing difficulty talking to one another because our frames (world models) vary in complexity: meaning degrees of abstraction. At thirty points (two standard deviations) it is quite difficult to communicate to one another. 95 is about the requirement for working in a medical office. By 85 you are all but untrainable. Below 85 even the military can’t find anything you can do without endangering others. So when a person believes he or she is intelligent and that intelligence doesn’t matter, he correctly identifies that for the scope of problems he is aware of, that if he is given time he will figure it out. For the 2/3 of people under the ‘average’ bell curve this is true. The problem is, y’all haven’t tried to teach anyone with a 80-90 iq to even flip a burger or reliably not break the equipment. And you have no experience with anything even vaguely difficult. Which is why you’re ‘average’, and struggle with these (relatively simple) concepts. And it’s why people like me found a dozen companies and solve the great problems of the age, and people like my current hero stephen wolfram solves the problem of mathematics of the age. In other words, you aren’t competent to get access to the people who run the world because your very presence makes everyone in the room dumber. There are rooms in this world I’m not competent to get access to because I lack interest in political and commercial power, compared to intellectual and wealth power. THe difference is that I could if I want have chosen that path. Average people can’t choose those paths. And they can’t even comprehend what the mind of people with much larger world models in mind, changing daily, adapting daily, think like or feel. The world above normals is purely empirical. We search for opportunities, and we have the power to act on them – because people trust us not to ‘break the machinery’. That’s what’s hard to grasp. I know how a bill gates, steve ballmer, steve jobs, the leadership at goldman sachs, the president and senate, any given general, and the top tenth of a percent of intellectuals in the world, see the world. It is not ‘unknowable’. It’s uncontrollable. Because it takes those very capable people to run the world, with all the technology and knowledge, institutions available to us. === (FWIW: 106 is the sort of ‘minimum average iq’ for a democratic polity – which is why they’re failing. About 115 is the target, and I assume 120 would be the optimum possible.)

  • IT’S OUR DUTY TO PROTECT THOSE VICTIMIZED BY BAITING INTO HAZARD by Scott De War

    IT’S OUR DUTY TO PROTECT THOSE VICTIMIZED BY BAITING INTO HAZARD

    by Scott De Warren

    Noblesse oblige. Yes, ironically, It is our duty to protect our people, especially the majority that lack agency and the discernment to detect the enemy’s propaganda that baits them into hazard (and pulls the rest of us down with them).

    The irony is that these, our own people, constantly betray us by siding with the enemy.

    In England, France, and even America our people were encouraged to rebel against their king and aristocracy – often on the thinnest of pretexts.

    In the American revolution, for ex., Samuel Adams organized the rough dock workers to attack the upper classes and destroy their fine houses over what was essentially a 1% tax imposed by Britain on legal papers.

    Now the descendants of those dockworkers pay 50% taxes without blinking. Yet they will still rail against kings and aristocrats – the ones that taxed them 1% to protect them militarily while praising foreign hostiles that tax them 50% while taking way their borders, liberties, and that sponsor third world invasions because it is all sold as ‘democratic’.

    No, the people will be protected from such lies going forward by making the liars answerable in a court of law.

  • OUR NEED: REDUCING THE CANON OF THE WEST TO A BIBLE: THE LAW BEYOND WHICH NONE M

    OUR NEED: REDUCING THE CANON OF THE WEST TO A BIBLE: THE LAW BEYOND WHICH NONE MAY TREAD

    (From OCT 2019) (updated)

    The west never had a single bible, but a canon, and that canon was written in multiple frames although the spectrum of scientific, legal, philosophical, normative, literary, and theological.

    Philosophy, theology, tradition, are just narratives that explain a group strategy in a grammar of wishes.

    Law is the evidence of what actually occurs, not what is wished for.

    While we traditionally had rule of law beyond which no leader may tread, we allowed liberalism (even classical liberalism) to violate that traditional law under the presumption that while the monarchy needed be constrained by law, we the people were somehow so special and virtuous we need not be.

    Our British Ancestors, Our Founding Fathers, through generations of the English civil wars, sought to reduce that canon to constitution.

    But they lacked the skill we developed in the 20th because under programming, the sciences, and the collapse of the philosophical program (yes).

    They were successful despite those weaknesses as long as the heroic narrative of the revolution persisted, or what the founders said was dependent upon the moral teachings of the church.

    The failure of the church to reform in the face of Darwin and the sciences, the replacement of the church with the academy, the capture of the academy by the immoral left, combined with Anti-whiteness, under guise of privilege, colonialism, and slavery (not unique to whites at all) provided the means of undermining that narrative, by taking advantage of our our christian virtue, our market tolerance, our false claim that man was oppressed rather than domesticated by the aristocracy and markets, and our false presumption that we could create an aristocracy of everyone if they were but given the chance.

    We dragged them out of their failed cultures, failed religions, failed institutions, failed governments, and failed civilizations. We dragged them kicking and screaming out of superstition, ignorance, hard labor, poverty, starvation, disease, suffering, child mortality, early death, and the chaos of a hostile nature. And They hate us for it. They work daily to destroy us. They seek to bring their failures to us, not our successes to them. We gave them that chance. And they failed. They failed because are unfit, unwilling, or unable, and undeserving. And they are destroying the monument to mankind that we have made.

    So we must complete the Greco-roman-germanic-anglo-American research program and produce that bible in the form of a constitution such that no narrative can undermine it, without causing our retaliation.

    We need to create the white law – a rational, scientific, western competitor to Jewish law and Muslim sharia. A strict construction from our founding differences: sovereignty and reciprocity, truth and duty, judge and jury, heroism and excellence, family and commons, and the market for voluntary cooperation in all walks of life – that together produce the social political and economic order most rapidly open to adaptation and innovation.

    We need a constitution and a law closed to interpretation open to innovation, but beyond which no man, private, public, or foreign may tread.

    And we need to enforce it intolerantly, unforgivingly, and mercilessly, as our ancestors defended themselves by the same means.

    Heroism and excellence, The universal militia, Sovereignty, Reciprocity, Truth, and Duty, Judge and Jury, and markets in all aspects of life: association, cooperation, production, reproduction, commons, polities, and war.

    That is the secret to western civilization.

    Sovereignty.

    And it is our law beyond which none may tread.
