  • Hayek Wasn’t Quite Right

    Hayek wasn’t quite right. Our civilization depends upon the rule of law by tort (natural law), the result of which CAN ONLY be ‘markets in everything’ – which he refers to as “Capitalism” by adopting the marxist criticism of financial cooperation at scale – but that I would call ‘Market-ism”: or the suppression of all involuntary parasitism and predation and forcing all peoples into the market in the service of others to survive. This zero-tolerance of non-market behavior is the result of the institutionalization of sovereignty and with sovereignty, of necessity, tort, and with tort and sovereignty we construct natural law and markets. So while, in the end, he did understand that it was Law that was the foundation of western civilization, he did not make the connection that it was law that LIMITED US to anything other than market cooperation. I call this use of tort law (natural law) “incremental suppression of free riding, parasitism, and predation”.

    WITCH TRIALS WERE A FUNCTION OF THE REFORMATION’S WARS OF RELIGION

    Yes, this is also is my understanding as long as we also take into account that ritual sacrifice was ancestral, killing scolds, harlots, non conformists, mischief makers, and thieves by casting them as possessed or a witch was ancestral, hanging was aggressive during the period, and the church simply ‘made use of’ the technique just as the church always had made use of whatever it could.

    —“A paper published in the August edition of the Economic Journal casts doubt on both theories. Peter Leeson and Jacob Russ, also of George Mason University, collected data for witch trials from 21 countries between 1300 and 1850, in which 43,240 people were prosecuted. They found that the weather had a statistically insignificant impact on the occurrence of witch trials. The impact of negative income shocks or governmental capacity was also very weak.

    When Mr Leeson and Mr Russ compared their witch-trial data to the timing and location of over 400 battles between Christian denominations, they found a much closer link. Where there was more conflict between Catholics and Protestants (in Britain, between Anglicans and Presbyterians), witch trials were widespread; in places where one creed dominated there were fewer. The authors conclude that churches engaged in a sort of “non-price competition”, gaining converts in confessional battlegrounds by advertising their commitment to fighting evil by trying witches.”— The Economists via Marginal Revolution

  • THE REASON FOR JESUS’ ACTION AT THE TEMPLE Joseph, don’t be daft. Moneychanging

    THE REASON FOR JESUS’ ACTION AT THE TEMPLE

    Joseph, don’t be daft. Moneychanging (converting between currencies, storing money, lending money at interest), was a terribly important function given the diversity of monies used – today that function is provided by central banks and larger commercial banks, and travel currency exchanges. In the ancient world the roman treasury used ‘agents’ the way we use these banks. (I prefer the agents model and want to eliminate consumer banks as they are known today.) The problem was that the people at some temples took abusive advantage of the poor. When Romans invaded Judea they established their temples and their money changers. This competition prevented the Jewish priests from charging high rates at their temples. And so they sought marginal cases to charge usurious rates. This is what jesus was rebelling against: the abuse of the poor. The complete story is never stated. The fact that Jews specialize in usurious lending to those who cannot afford, or lend into moral hazard, predates their introduction to europe – it is the original occupation of their priesthood.

    Jung was not a scientist and neither was freud, although of nietzsche, jung, and freud, at least jung tried to correct freud. However … a good relationship between archetypes and personality traits, and between traits and reward systems, vs brain structure – good intuition.

  • The Reality of Races, Subraces, Minor Races

    Races, Subraces, Tribes, Clans, Families and Classes can interbreed, but differences matter. The primary differences are the degree of neoteny (white and east asian) vs deeper maturity (semites, iranics, africans, and australoids), the more feminine or masculine structure of the brain (yes really), and the size of the underclass due largely to winter climates, manorial farming, and close cohabitation in winters while caring for animals. (Or in the european and chinese cases, aggressive use of criminal punishment – particularly european hanging of large portions of the underclasses every generation). Using size of class, degree of neoteny or maturity, and balance of masculine and feminine traits, each of the Races, Subraces, an sometimes Tribes, has evolved (adapted) for certain excellences that are geography, climate, means of production, and method of socialization dependent. Human domestication like animal domestication, uses neotonic selection to suppress sexual maturity and preserve the features and cooperative intuitions of youth. The goal for any polity is to increase intelligence, industriousness, and trust. Counter to our assumptions the San (the oldest continuous tribe) were more gentle, and humans appear to have become increasingly AGGRESSIVE in some regions and increasingly GENTLE in other regions, which is easily measurable by group testosterone distributions, rates and ages of maturity, and ‘hardiness’ of features (deeper maturity). By the upward redistribution of reproduction (china, europe, and jewish) you increase the distribution of neoteny in the public largely by the reduction of rates of reproduction of the underclasses. The simple fact is that many people are a harm to their fellows simply because they are a drag on norms, laws, traditions, values, and institutions, literacy, technology, and the work force capacity – perhaps most importantly making a sufficient middle class to produce a voluntary organization of possible impossible, and forcing the dependence upon familial corruption (india, south america, south europe, all of islam) despite access to trade routes. THE OPTIMUM POLITICAL ORDER The optimum political order is homogenous – diversity is always and everywhere bad for obvious and well documented reasons. It trades short term profits for long term costs that destroy the political order and reduce it to levantine, south american, and indian levels of poverty and corruption. The optimum political order is Small – The only value of scale military power to exploit others. The only value of federations is to produce defense of trade routes and prohibit rent seeking (corruption) on those trade routes. THE EUGENICISTS WERE RIGHT. And any group of size (the east asians) who succeed will leave the rest of the world behind. The europeans managed by the late middle ages to nearly eliminate their underclasses. This is why european intelligence is dropping (the flynn effect is reversing). Not because of individuals. But because of restoration of their underclasses. If Norway can lose IQ (they have) then any group can. Smarter people are more moral – simply because they can afford to be. “NO MORE LIES”

  • The Pseudo-Scientific Attack on Civilization.

    The curse of postmodern pseudoscience in most of the other answers. Postmodernism like Marxism was designed, like Abrahamic Religions, as an attack on European Peoples (civilization), to eradicate our civlization in the modern world just as Abrahamic religion was used to eradicate the five great civilizations of the ancient world: Roman New Europe), Byzantine (old europe), Anatolian, Persian (Iranic), Egyptian, and North African. All those civilizations were destroyed by the last attempt at cultural destruction. Why? Marxism/Postmodernism in the modern world, and Abrahamic Religion in the ancient world foster dysgenic rapid reproduction of the underclasses reversing genetic domestication under small farm mixed agrarianism, effectively weaponizing reproduction and ignorance and superstition against civilization. There are reasons that the Han, Koreans,Japanese and Europeans succeeded and other civilizations failed to maintain rates of innovation. The reason is that the Han, Koreans and Japanese remained insular and homogeneous, and whites succeed as long as they also remain homogeneous and practice eugenic reproduction through manorialism (meritocracy). The rest of the world did the opposite and the sizes of their underclasses pose such a burden that they cannot produce sufficient middle and upper classes to produce high trust commercially successful political orders.

  • On Mannerbund

    I agree with the ‘sentiment’ of the Mannerbund narrative, but I express it as ‘it all begins with the militia’, and the militia functions on the brotherhood of warriors. I disagree with the Social Matters / Mannerbund in that the fact that our civilization begins there, does not mean it is SUFFICIENT to defeat enemies, or that much can be made of that ‘feeling’ alone. What binds people are incentive to bind with one another. Many of you are seeking the sense of safety and power in the pack and the restoration of our institutions of brotherhood throughout society due to the intentional destruction of them by the deconstructionists in marxism, femininsm, postmodernism, who exploit a ready willingness in our female population to defect by sh-t testing us. But you are making the mistake of an intuitionistic bias that is VERY RARE, instead of providing MAJOR incentives (military, political, economic, personal wealth, agency, status, and a plan to get there you are searching in the dark for emotional support, rallying without resources to do so. Those institutions of brotherhood are the last good we will achieve, not the first. They are a premium achieved for having worked to obtain military, political, economic, wealth, status benefits. Men will REPORT affiliation for sentiments. Men will DEMONSTRATE conviction for material rewards. The feeling of safety of the pack comes only from the shared experience of working as a pack to produce an outcome which provides an alternative to the present, yet promises only chaos because of an ABSENCE OF VISION. I do not operate from your perspective but work backward to achieve that emotion through demonstrated action together by the use of incentives to achieve material success. The answer to our problem is to provide an actionable plan the end result is mannerbund. That actionable plan is a means of altering the status quo such that POSSIBLE demands are met. One does not defeat a fortress by direct attack, but by starving it. One does not threaten potential allies but pays them off. One does not create incentives for defenders of the fortress by promises of suffering, but promising them returns. Once the fortress is won, the holdouts must be flayed and salted and hung from the walls for their crimes. All revolutions are suspect in prospect but deterministic in retrospect. It’s time to win.
