STOICISM IS INTUITIVE AND ABSENT ANY WOO WOO. THE ANSWER TO A BLUE PILLED WORLD by James Santagata What is powerful about Stoicism is that forces us to maintain an INTERNAL locus of control along with high agency. At the same time, filtering out emotions by considering what we have rather than what we don’t and aligning with natural law allow us to think, calculate and act in the most efficient, effective manner possible. Conserving energy, creating the smallest emotional wake (for ourselves and others, thus mitigating or eliminating negative 2nd and 3rd order effects) and economizing motion as well as emotion. What I love about this stuff, is that many of us, me including, stumbled on this, as the only thing that made sense in a Blue-Pilled world- and it is so comforting to say, “omg, this is actually a fully formed philosophy”. BUT we have the added advantage of neuroscience and 2.000 years of accumulated history to take it even further. Love it. And with microeconomics, and nanoeconomics, and behavioral economics. We have the Holy Grail. We can now mathematically model Stoicism and we understand not just ourselves but everyone we interact with, through (as you are wont to say) incentives, we can look at max and min as well as elasticity / inelasticity through microeconomics and with all this granular data, we can look at nanoeconomisc (individual transaction) and then set all this against behavioral economisc / neuroeconomics and see that Stoicism is the way forward and we can improve it Stoicism 2.0 but added a few things and emphasizing a few others. (Omg, I’m gonna orgasm.)

If You Reformed Christianity
If you took all the falsehood out of christianity then what would remain? – The mass (A lesson, an oath, a feast), festivals. – The extirpation of hatred from the human heart. – The exhaustion of interpersonal forgiveness as the optimum group cooperative strategy. – The demand for personal acts of charity. If you replace life after death with living a good life, persistence through actions, genetic persistence, and human transcendence of our descendents into the gods we imagine. If you replace lessons against the aristocracy in favor of diasporic pastoralists, and instead restored our original mythology os the trials of homer. If you restored the festivals with those of heroes, ancestors and the seasons (nature). If you add ethnocentrism (the optimum group strategy), government by rule of law and markets in everything (the optimum competitive strategy), and stoicism (the optimum mindfulness strategy). Then you have a religion free of lies. Church is a good thing. What one does there produces mindfulness. What one learns there can be truth or lie.

1) We (Taleb and I) are both specialists in debunking frauds – he by innumeracy in specific and I fictionalism more broadly. We are both intolerant of frauds. One can only claim one speaks truthfully of the testifiable, where one can warranty one’s speech. if not one lies. Period.
2) Since you demonstrate you lie, and you do so by fictionalism, it is not an ad hominem to call you a liar and a fraud it is an inescapable logical necessity. in other words some arguments and methods of arguments are lies and frauds by mere construction prior to content.
3) i practice the natural law of reciprocity, falsificationary science, deflationary logic and constructivist mathematics, not justificationary rationalism, theology or pseudoscience. Stop wasting my time with fraud and deceit.

GOING FULL FASH
So yeah, as the day of revolution draws nearer, and the hate for my people has increased, and the threat to my people has increased, the genocide against my people has been openly promoted, I’ve gone “Full Fash” so to speak – just that it’s Natural Law Fascism. And in my understanding it’s prosecutorial, zero-tolerance, militaristic, expansionist, Natural Law Fascism – White sharia all the way.
Why? (a) Cooperation is only valuable until non-cooperation is preferable, and non-cooperation is only valuable until conflict is more valuable – and conflict is at present more valuable.
(b) Ethnocentrism is the optimum group evolutionary strategy.
(c) Ethnocentrism under Natural Law is the optimum economic and technical strategy, and;
(d) Natural Law Fascism is the optimum political strategy, and;
(e) Ethnocentric Natural Law Fascism cannot be practiced by any of our competitors due to genetic distribution and rates of neoteny.
(f) And lastly, we have, over the past 3500 years or more, dragged mankind out of superstition, ignorance, hard labor, poverty, starvation, disease, child mortality, early death, tyranny, and the vicissitudes of nature – kicking and screaming against their genetic, cultural, and personal wills.
We are not heroes to our debtors. We are gods in the making. Truth, Duty, Reciprocity, Markets in Everything, and Continuous Transcendence into the Gods we imagine.
I will not betray my forefathers, my people, and all those of my people who might yet come to be, nor the future of mankind, the Gods we might be, and the universe’s need for our gardening of it, because weak men and women fear the sound of our marching feet, our works, our voices, and the truth of our words.

Curt Doolittle updated his status.
ORIGINALISM AND TEXTUALISM
Originalism requires that the legislature alter the law and that the court not alter the law, only reject bad law.
The constitution was an attempt to codify natural law (reciprocity).
Our law is natural law and has been for 3500 years.
The weakness in our system of government is:
1) There is no requirement that a law pass the court before it’s enacted.
2) There is no way for the court to compel the state to repair a law other than to invalidate a provision or all of it.
3) Statement of natural law of reciprocity, Originalism, Textualism, and Strict Construction from natural law of reciprocity were not stated as part of the document.
Law can and must be algorithmic.

The limits of Agency like Truth are infinite. Of those limits however, we can separate the institutional(both formal and non), resource, our physical, emotional, intellectual, limits and our knowledge. AFIK the agencies that separate man from beast are emotional and intellectual.

Curt Doolittle updated his status. MONEY AND MONETARY AGGREGATES: MALINCENTIVES
Curt Doolittle updated his status.
MONEY AND MONETARY AGGREGATES: MALINCENTIVES ALL AROUND
Yes, I work from the Misesian premise of full accounting when referring to money and its substitutes, and the totality of monetary aggregates.
However, the problem with the Austrian model is (as has always been stated) it’s overly respectful of lenders (asset holders) without accounting for the moral hazard most money lenders profit from.
This is ‘unsaid’ in the literature of both sides. It’s this competition between the moral premises of consumer vs lenders vs the judiciary (state) that over the priority to which we must grant the malincientives of either party and therefore the rewards of either party.
I tend to err on the side of lender beware almost always, and the lender and borrower beware of the state at all possible times.
All parties: state, lender, and borrower have malincentives.
