[P]olitical Philosophy is a lot easier when you just start from the premise that all goods are hypothetical, all bads are not, and that the only means of accumulating the knowledge to determine good from bad is exchange. This eliminates the fallacy that any of us know what is in fact good for all, other than institutions that allow us to choose any possible good but prohibit us from pursuing any known bad are a de facto good by prohibiting bads. This is contrary to human cognition because we evolved for negotiating cooperation not truth telling. It is contrary to human desire, because we desire consensus. It is contrary to political incentive because it limits political power. We all think we are ‘right’. But the only ‘right’ we can know is trade. Just as the only way we know whether we engaged in production or engaged in waste, consumption, or entertainment, is if others trade for what we create. Information and volition tell us what ‘right and wrong’ do not.

Who Invented The Big Lie?
[W]e start with Zoroaster who is the first philosopher.
—“Zoroaster sees the human condition as the mental struggle between aša (truth) and druj (lie). The cardinal concept of aša—which is highly nuanced and only vaguely translatable—is at the foundation of all Zoroastrian doctrine, including that of Ahura Mazda (who is aša), creation (that is aša), existence (that is aša) and as the condition for free will. The purpose of humankind, like that of all other creation, is to sustain aša. For humankind, this occurs through active participation in life and the exercise of constructive thoughts, words and deeds. Elements of Zoroastrian philosophy entered the West through their influence on Judaism and Middle Platonism and have been identified as one of the key early events in the development of philosophy.[32] Among the classic Greek philosophers, Heraclitus is often referred to as inspired by Zoroaster’s thinking.[33] In 2005, the Oxford Dictionary of Philosophy ranked Zarathustra as first in the chronology of philosophers. Zarathustra’s impact lingers today due in part to the system of rational ethics he founded called Mazda-Yasna. The word Mazda-Yasna is avestan and is translated as “Worship of Wisdom” in English. Zoroastrians later educated the Greeks, who used a similar term, philosophy, or “love of wisdom,” to describe the search for ultimate truth. Zoroaster emphasized the freedom of the individual to choose right or wrong and individual responsibility for one’s deeds. This personal choice to accept aša or arta (the divine order), and shun druj (ignorance and chaos) is one’s own decision and not a dictate of Ahura Mazda. For Zarathustra, by thinking good thoughts, saying good words, and doing good deeds (e.g. assisting the needy or doing good works) we increase this divine force aša or arta in the world and in ourselves, celebrate the divine order, and we come a step closer on the everlasting road to being one with the Creator. Thus, we are not the slaves or servants of Ahura Mazda, but we can make a personal choice to be his co-workers, thereby refreshing the world and ourselves.”—-
You will note that this is a pretty indo-european, indo-iranian, indo-hindu line of thinking. Yes it is magian. But he has no other method of expressing the ideas as ultimate goods. THE EVOLUTION OF THE BIG LIE There is a very big difference between “You Shall Worship One God”, “There is One Supreme God”, and “Only One God Exists”. There is a big difference between ‘the creator’s truth’, as the only available means of expression of truthful correspondence (and living a good life by personal action), and the assertion that god exists and we must obey him (authoritarianism). There is a big difference between the variable oral tradition of mythical gods and the invariable written tradition of supernaturally existential gods. So how did we get from the search for truth to The Big Lie? Who invented the Big Lie?
—” Pentateuch was composed in the Persian period (roughly 520–320 BCE), as a result of tensions between the Jewish landowners who had stayed in Judah during the Babylonian captivity and claimed Abraham as the “father” through whom they traced their right to the land, and the returning “Priestly” exiles who based their claim to dominance on Moses and the Exodus tradition.”—
The Big Lie was invented to lay a claim to land. Moses and Abraham appear to be entirely fictional characters, used to justify the retention of property in Judea. A big lie repeated often and proudly eventually appears as truth. The cost of chanting pays for the investment in belief. The big lies worked (voice of god) in the ancient world (babylon and Judah), they worked in the roman empire (christianity), they worked in the modern world (Marx, Boaz, Freud, and to a lesser degree Cantor, Mises, Rothbard). And reached culmination with Humanism(universalism), Postmodernism(social and verbal construction of reality), Feminism (that man is evil), Democracy(that majority possesses wisdom). We cure the big lies with truth. Over and over again.

Isn’t America a Germanic Not Just Anglo Country?
(important piece)(I will write more on this later. But it will explain my emphasis on operationalism and strict construction) [B]efore about 1830, when the British Empire adopted commercial universalism, Britain was a member of germanic, north sea, hanseatic, civilization. We tend to compare our British ancestors to Today’s Britons who are heavily catholicized and franglicized, and certainly members of socialist cults of hyper signaling through quests for artificial moralism. But the majority of anglo immigrants arrive before the civil war, and the majority of german immigrants before the second world war. And the majority of white americans trace their history to germanic origins. Our warriors in our wars – all of them – are largely germanic. Our Teutons (warrior caste) have been our great leaders. Our founders had far more in common with their german counterparts in pre-unification Germany, than they did with middle class and commercial victorian Britons. They may have spoken English. They may have learned French. They may have ridiculed the ‘backwardness’ of the Germans. But for all intents and purposes they were Germanic, Protestant, Hanseatic, North Sea peoples with germanic aspirations and germanic values. And because of its libertarian political structure, Hanseatic Civilization (of the north sea peoples) does not receive historical treatment that the statist era the destroyed it under napoleon, and with napoleon set the destruction of western civilization in motion. The american states had more in common with the german principalities than they did with their British ancestors. Our indoctrination into the ‘frame’ of war-making-nation-states obscures too much information from us. There is some truth that in the ancient, medieval, and modern worlds, there was an acknowledge conspiracy between today’s catholic(mediterranean trade) states that the germans be left alone so that they defended the frontier from the barbarians of the east. But we are a germanic people – a north sea people. Water ways determined evolution more so than land masses since it is waterways that provide routes for discounted conduct of trade. The american civil war – over control of the continent with slavery as the excuse – and Lincoln’s destruction of the germanic states, and their conversion to Napoleonic centrality, was the second great tragedy of Europe.

SPEAKING OF BOWDEN
Bowden had a nervous breakdown (which is the outcome of stress and depression). Your brain basically gives up trying to solve whatever problem is bothering you and just disassociates from reality in order to save itself. Which is kinda cool when you think about it: Sort of the human version of a computer crashing and rebooting.
—“Mental breakdown (also known as a nervous breakdown) is a general term for an acute, time-limited psychiatric disorder that manifests primarily as severe stress-induced depression, anxiety, or dissociation in a previously functional individual, to the extent that they are no longer able to function on a day-to-day basis until the disorder is resolved. A nervous breakdown is defined by its temporary nature, and often closely tied to psychological burnout, severe overwork, sleep deprivation, and similar stressors, which may combine to temporarily overwhelm an individual with otherwise sound mental functions.”—
I had a roommate have a breakdown in College – I think due to a relationship failure. I’m not sure. Also possibly due to rather egregious consumption of alcohol and LSD. I mean, i watched him eat three SHEETS of blotter acid at a club in Westchester. Obviously I immediately found another way home… lol We didn’t see him for at least three days I think. (I am not into drugs.)
I try to relate to the experience. I developed terrible panic attacks in my mid 20’s and it took a long time to figure out that it was caused by sleep deprivation from sleep apnea created by my food allergies. (I still have to be careful about allergens keeping me awake all night.) And I was very scared that something was seriously wrong with me at the time, and that affected my behavior significantly.
There was this ridiculous desire of the psychological profession to attribute it to my abusive childhood. Which I had overcome largely by the time I was in college, and certainly by my mid twenties. But it turned out that I was sucking on adrenaline all night to stay in a state of half-sleep but never really resting. (I sleep with a plastic bite guard type thing that eliminates the problem assuming my weight doesn’t get out of hand.) And you know, sleep deprivation sucks. It causes visual and auditory interference. (It didn’t help that I was working like crazy). You can’t think straight at all, and out of nowhere you go from feeling ok, to tragically exhausted in an instant.
So I can understand what it’s probably like for your entire mind and body to lose it for a bit. I know the feeling of wanting a vacation because my autistic OCD sort of does that to me regularly.
Anyway, my roommate called me from the hospital having obviously mostly recovered already. “Curt, these people are crazier than I am! They keep asking me if I think I’m Jesus Christ! Please get me out of here!” His parents had sent him in after he was no longer being logical (although I didn’t think he was illogical – he was talking about harmonies on violins, so he must have been acting out of character during the conversation – a behavior which I had seen start to develop despite having moved out and in with my girlfriend by then.)
I actually felt closer to ‘crazy’ when I got the cancer diagnosis. I just fell into depression and confusion for a long time. Everyone I know does to some degree. But we soldier onward. 🙂
Anyway, my tragedies in life, other than my divorce, are all largely health related. In my view, I seem to accumulate trauma with each tragic event, and it adds some kind of mental weight that you have to drag around like Marley’s chains. But on the other hand each tragedy has given me CLARITY as to what is more important in life. And while I wish I learned that lesson without the tragedy and trauma, I am still happy to learn what is important in life:
Friends, Family, Something Interesting To Do, A safe place to do what you want, and the Health and Resources to afford them.
What isn’t important in life, is things. Which was hard for me to ‘get’. Signals being powerful influences upon us.

ADVICE FOR NERDS This should be obvious, but for people who excel at learning, a
ADVICE FOR NERDS
This should be obvious, but for people who excel at learning, and love to learn, I have a bit of advice that you might want to consider:
“Your understanding is not a deliverable, it is not productive, it is a cost.”
There is a big difference between learning and entertainment. There is a big difference between problems and puzzles. There is a big difference between going from problems to books, and from books to problems.
Whether you chew hallucinogenic roots, drink alcohol, play video games, watch movies, read books, or learn new things, you are just a consumer of other people’s efforts, and not a contributor.
We do not get paid for consuming. We are paid for producing. Consuming may do little harm, but it does no good.
So if you are learning, if you are experiencing, it may be rewarding, but it is just entertainment.
Either one learns – bears a cost – for the production of an output, or one is just a dead weight on one’s peers.
I have this problem in technology fairly often although because of my current occupation, less so than I used to. But I still hear and see it everywhere in all walks of life.
Learning is not an intrinsic good. It is a form of conspicuous consumption – a form of hedonism, a luxury, a spending of an inheritance. And in business it is a parasitism.
So learn only to produce something. That is what we pay each other for.
If you want to learn for recreational purposes realize that all you’re doing is a more expensive and time consuming and arguably less physically harmful form of recreation.

PATERNALISM AND CLASSISM BUT NOT RACISM If you adopt paternalism: that your kin
PATERNALISM AND CLASSISM BUT NOT RACISM
If you adopt paternalism: that your kin are an extended family, and that you will work with other extended families to cooperate non-parasitically with all other extended families, and that we produce nations not states, then you get this wonderful ability for us to religion, culture, race, class and caste.
We struggle with a certain problem: that while small nations are better for the development of community and mutual insurance, large states are materially valuable for the conduct of war and less so for trade bargaining. But once we have nuclear weapons it is very hard to violate borders without committing suicide. So there appears to be no reason for large states other than aggressive warfare.
And yes, some territory is objectively better than other territory. And some genes are objectively better than other genes. And we start from different levels of development.
But states are as much a barrier to development as they are to improvement precisely because of scale. Scale increases the ability to engage in corruption. With scale we find anonymity. With anonymity we have informational asymmetry. With informational asymmetry we have opportunity for corruption (privatization of commons).
So you know, I’m a CLASSIST, in that i recognize the problem of carrying a large and counterproductive underclass, but I am not a RACIST in that I want all groups to transcend the animal, become fully human, and evolve into what we imagine as gods.
And its possible. We had it right. Unfortunately we blew it. And now we have to fix it.

Near Breeding, Selective Mating, Late Marriage, Suppression of Underclass Reprod
Near Breeding, Selective Mating, Late Marriage, Suppression of Underclass Reproduction produces constantly improving norms, institutions, and commons.
I am pretty sure that the evidence is in, that once you pollute a family with less desirable genes, that you can’t cleanse it – ever – unless you isolate and near-breed for centuries.
In my own family I see Scandinavian (Ellen and I), german celt (me), mixed with Irish Celt, Dark Irish (my uncle John), Western Celt (Jean), Pole, Czech and Slav (John and Pat’s children), Slav and Dark Irish in their children. Most Doolittles carry R1b and look largely Celtic, although german rather than Scott’s Irish. The Oulette’s and Theriaults are poor french farmers from french and english celts. Although my mother’s father is undeniably a proper ‘Gaul’ – they’re big, and they have that Gallic nose. My daughters are different: one very much Celt, the other very much Czech with Celt. My son and my nephew are near clones with that white-blonde hair and round heads you see in Scandinavia and Finland. You can tell a lot from nose, teeth, eyes and skull shape. So we’re pretty typical northern europeans.
Why do I mention this? Well, some groups have been successful at adopting genes wherever they go (Indo-Iran, Hittite, Greek, Semite, European), and some groups benefit from isolation (japanese, europeans). And some groups suffer from competition against the hordes (the middle east, central asia, africa). And some seem to form castes to overcome competition (india, south america).
But the only way for genes to ‘correct’ (meaning exit bad genes) is with a small enough population to select for traits, but large enough to avoid near-breeding.
If you’re White (Ethnically European), Certain west african tribes, Japanese, Korean, Han, there is nowhere to go but down by outbreeding, or incorporating new genes. If you’re not, then there is always a benefit to capturing better genes.
And no that’s not an opinion, that’s demonstrated human behavior.
More Symmetrical
Younger – looking (less maturity)
Taller (for men, not for women)
Clearer, Fairer Skin
Less Impulsive (although impulsivity is reproductively valuable in less desirables)
More Intelligent (which is complicated)
Age Better (less accumulated cellular damage)
So it works like this: the worse genes you possess the more value is breeding up. The better are your genes the more value is in not breeding down. For everyone else – the vast middle – the best strategy is breeding up without breeding out.
If we preserved the family we would preserve these traits. But we didn’t. So we don’t. Families protect, tribes protect, nations protect, but corporate states don’t.
