  • There Is No Reason to Complicate Things; Emergence Is Complicated Enough

    by Brandon Hayes Everybody knows Occam’s Razor; when you take that razor to human behavior and cut it in half, this is what emerges: Packs and Herds. Packs [masculine, thinking bias, eugenic (selects for specialty)] “Acceptance to a pack requires contribution; you’re good only for your value.” Herds [feminine, feeling bias, dysgenic (selects for conformity)] “Acceptance to a herd requires only blending in; you’re good only for camouflage.” No more NAXALT arguments; we all know, not all X are like that! But, you don’t get to boil-down a trend to a single data point and use that datum to disprove said trend; that’s called lying. This means stereotypes are accurate, as they with-stand the market of ideas, and behavioral evidence (data) to counter the stereotypical outcomes isn’t mounting. This shouldn’t upset anyone. Having a bare-bones (a skeleton) framework like this is incredible. The insights that can come from proper frameworks can’t be overstated. *h/t Curt Doolittle as there aren’t any others (that I know of AND I look, hard [link educators below if you have suggestions]) that produce as much intellectual output publicly; and I see no others fostering as much intelligent debate or facilitating as much actual learning as he.

Herds can’t respond efficiently to rapidly changing environments; what you get instead of problem solving is panic.

    Everybody knows Occam’s Razor; when you take that razor to human behavior and cut it in half, this is what emerges: Packs and Herds.

    Packs [masculine, thinking bias, eugenic (selects for specialty)]

    “Acceptance to a pack requires contribution; you’re good only for your value.”

    Herds [feminine, feeling bias, dysgenic (selects for conformity)]

    “Acceptance to a herd requires only blending in; you’re good only for camouflage.”

    No more NAXALT arguments; we all know, not all X are like that! But, you don’t get to boil-down a trend to a single data point and use that datum to disprove said trend; that’s called lying.

    What is measurable and what is not, favors the positivist. Although the counter proposition is the question, why does one have a right to the preservation of purchasing power of a currency at the expense of the goods available from its inflation?

    @curtdoolittle @Lord_Keynes2 I find it odd that econ assumes that the gains of monetization and financialization outweigh the ills and risks, when the ability of mammon to transmit externalities without limit seems inherently dangerous. Perhaps there is a reason it was limited to the domain of Kings…

  • It’s Time to Choose Our Future

    (FB BAN FOR 30 DAYS FOR THIS POST) The female of our species, or more correctly, the female mind in our species, is extremely susceptible to individual psychosis and solipsism, and even more so, herd panic, trend and consensus; and verbalizing those behaviors by drama, outburst, disapproval, shaming, ridicule, rallying, gossiping, and reputation destruction that never ceases. This is the reason why women’s testimony has been discounted throughout history; why the cancer of abrahamism was spread through women; why women defected against their men and their civilization yet again, to feminism-postmodernism; and why there are continuous calls for “women must be heard”; and then, not surprisingly, counter-to-all-evidence that “women must be believed”. The female lacks the degree of male agency because she is more dependent upon the panic of herd than the hunting of the pack. It is rather obvious that once given the franchise under the presumption of agency, that women took out their anger on the church in europe, and on men in america. It’s rather obvious that as much as marxism was designed to appeal to and rally men at the bottom, that feminism and postmodernism were designed to appeal to and rally women as was christianity. It is rather obvious that women’s urge to nest and preen are more easily manipulated by advertising marketing and media. But Truth is Truth. The feminine mind lacks agency regardless of the sex of its bearer. And we cannot both preserve our civilization which is the originator of truth, reason, science, and all that comes from it by once again submitting to the herd of the female in this modern era as we did in the ancient. “Herd Panic”, and “herd consensus”, as well as the series solipsism, psychosis, and disapproval, shaming, ridicule, outburst, rallying gossiping and reputation destruction as a means of obscuring the truth due to lack of agency and fear of falling out of sync with the herd, must become part of our conscious vocabulary and argument such that we bring the distinction between lack of agency, falsehood and fear, versus agency, truth and reason. Lacking agency means you are not yet human and therefore not worthy of or capable of reciprocity any more than is a child – but require parenting. It is truth that in modernity we have greater prosperity and as such greater ability to absorb the damage of the feminine mind than in the past. But that reservoir is not limitless. That same prosperity however does leave us a choice: we can oppress one another, or we can revolt and separate, and develop feminine (failing) dysgenic orders and return to the animals and another dark age, or masculine competitive eugenic orders, that will continue our transcendence. It’s time to choose which of those consequences we will pursue.

    Women are wonderful, and superior at the same things men are not. The problem was extending the franchise without producing a market for differences between the genders in the production of commons. We created houses for the aristocracy(monarchy), nobility(lords), middle class (commons). But when we added labor (labor), and then added women(women), we did not add houses for them, and thereby failed to grasp what we had done: created a market for the production of commons between the classes that prohibited the abuse by any in gaining majority. The problem was, that people become increasingly incompetent in matters of the day as their responsibilities decline. So without requirements for children and property it is almost impossible to create a civil discourse and market between the classes – since the people in the market for commons must demonstrate prior ability to succeed in markets of voluntary cooperation.

    SELF AUTHORING – SUPPRESSION OF MALINTUITION

    (suppression of the influence of cognitive biases)

    —“Q: Hey Curt, do you have a thought on the use of self-affirmations to create change in the self? For example, do you consciously talk positively with yourself with the intent on changing your own perception (personal narrative) ? Or do you think such a practice of positive self-affirmation can be used as an effective way of changing one’s personal narrative?”—

    Yes, that’s the essence of self authoring and stoicism is a formal approach to it.

    Yes it works. Although you can only change to what is true and good from what is false and not good.

    Most of the time I try to talk myself into either:

    1 – ‘Be kind; be overly kind; they are only children, and doing the best they can in life.’ (It is very hard to control the autistic urge to anger and to punish perceived stupidity)

    or

    2 – ‘Keep going no matter what, no matter how hard, you always win in the end”

    or

    3 – “You can’t change that, and don’t need to, just do better in the future.”

    or

    4 – “People think about you a lot less than you imagine, and generally better than you imagine, so don’t worry about it”.

    And those are things everyone probably needs to do. I don’t have the problem of ‘don’t take it personally’. I’m not agreeable enough to be affected by others. when they are wrong, only when I have been wrong.

    I have a lot of guilt about my occasionally losing tolerance for mortals and losing battle with my autism and hurting or disappointing people I care about; my divorce and one other relationship i should have handled better (i was very ill in both circumstances); underperforming for my investors. And the only one of those I can fix is my investors.

    cheers

  • Positions: What I Do Here

    September 25th, 2018 12:22 PM A Reminder to New Friends and Followers

    Controversial Philosophy in Public

    [I] write controversial philosophy. If it was not controversial it would not be revolutionary. And I embrace controversy as good marketing, and the good conduct of argumentative research.

    Yes I’m Controversial And Here is Why If my work is offensive, it means the person offended is a thief. That may seem an outrageous claim, but it will survive all criticisms. Truth is often painful. I ADVANCE CLASSISM (EUGENICS) NOT RACISM I don’t do racism, I do classism (eugenics). I’m for as diverse a planet of tribes as possible. And my understanding is that the differences between the races are almost entirely the product of differences in rates of reproduction of the lower classes. *** http://www.propertarianism.com/en_US/?s=racism I ADVANCE NATIONALISM I don’t to statism I do nationalism. I ADVANCE NOMOCRACY I don’t do anarchy, I do nomocracy (rule of law) under Natural Law, where my concept of natural law is not “fuzzy” but thoroughly articulated. *** http://www.propertarianism.com/en_US/?s=nomocracy I ADVANCE COMPATIBILISM We are not equal we are however, compatible, in many dimensions of perception and thought as well as labor. In fact, is our difference in sense, perception, valuation, cognition, and negotiation that makes our division of labor not only possible but so phenomenally rewarding.  We are compatible through VOLUNTARY COOPERATION AND EXCHANGE, meaning – in markets. And only in markets. I ADVANCE MARKET GOVERNMENT I don’t do escape from the commons, I do market government for the construction of commons by exchange. I call it Perfect Government or Parasite Proof Government. *** http://www.propertarianism.com/en_US/?s=market+government MY PROCESS: EXHAUSTIVE FALSIFICATION I work by aggressively attacking ideas to see if they can survive. This includes attacking cherished myths, traditions, and institutions, and all the values that accompany them. Observing this process can easily offend you. THE UNIQUENESS OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION That said, I have explained the uniqueness of western civilization in scientific terms that will be difficult or impossible to overthrow. RECENT WORK

    • In 2017, I worked on Agency (winter and early spring), Religion(thru June),
    • From May to August ’17 I was trying to create another complete draft of my book, but was stuck on Dimensional Grammar. And so I worked on Dimensional Grammar(from august to november).
    • From december to march 2018 I worked on software because grammars exhausted me. It is one of my most important insights that will get the least attention in the present.
    • From April to Fall  18 worked on getting the first book in final (edited) form. From June through august on the first hundred pages or so (the formal part) and from late august October on sketch of constitution.
    • From Late Fall on Revolution.
    • From December to January on Education Website and Cirriculum
    • From February through August on courseware and learning how to do it reasonably well.
    • (I”ll try to revise this now and then as I make progress)

    THE GOAL IS REVOLUTION My goal is to create a revolution and restoration of the constitution to one of Natural Law, and one that overthrows the Century of Lies and Mysticism (20th century). But moral men need more than just revolutionary sentiment. They need:

    1) Moral Authority : We have been lied to, our civilization destroyed, our culture intentionally undermined, and our kin and relations the subject of a slow constant conquest and genocide.

    2) A Solution : An alternative set of institutions that are capable of intertemporal persistence across many generations.

    3) A Plan of Transition : the means by which to convert from the current state to the new state so that individuals and groups can envision that transition rather than fear the uncertainty of it.

    4) A Method Of Revolution : The methods by which we raise the cost of the status quo until our solution is preferable to the current chaos. My work, my “Book”, is an attempt to provide moral authority, A solution, A Plan of Transition, and a Method of Revolution. Curt Doolittle The Propertarian Institute Kiev, Ukraine.
