    TRUTH

    Americans have too long tolerated lying in commerce and in public discourse, and instead of evicerating libel, slander, and fraud, we can dramatically improve our lives by requiring truthfulness. Amazon takes a great step forward in creating an example of the use of marketing to commit fraud.

    —“AMAZON, the world’s largest online marketplace, is suing more than 1,000 people suspected of selling fake reviews in one of the biggest legal actions to uncover hidden identities on the internet.

    The web giant is mounting the unprecedented court action to strip 1,114 alleged fake reviewers of their anonymity and force them to pay damages for the “manipulation and deception” of Amazon customers, according to court documents filed in America on Friday.

    It is the first time any company has taken action against its own reviewers on this scale, according to legal experts, and could have far-reaching implications for privacy and the way consumer websites are policed.”—–

  • Literary Philosophers and Masculine and Feminine Biases– Women love Foucault an

    –Literary Philosophers and Masculine and Feminine Biases–

    Women love Foucault and left philosophers.

    Literary information is richer in information and context, and men tend to need just the facts and are frustrated by all that context that they must ‘filter out’.

    The french language is very feminine and loaded so it teaches men to express in it. Just as german is loaded with duty, and english loaded with truth (precision).

    I read and have always read science, history, encyclopedias. I have read the classics only because it seemed prudent, but devoured hard science fiction.

    The reason germans cannot write philosophy despite constant efforts is that their language is loaded with sentiments.

    English is not. Which is why americans use strange verbalisms to convey emotional content, and why brits rely upon shaming, humor, wit and analogy to carry emotion for them.

    Germanic languages are martial.

    And marital epistemology is ‘scientific’.

  • MORE ON MALE AND FEMALE DISTRIBUTIONS: DIVISION OF LABOR Just as there are bata

    MORE ON MALE AND FEMALE DISTRIBUTIONS: DIVISION OF LABOR

    Just as there are bata males there are alpha women. When I use the terms men/male/males women/female/females, I refer to the difference in distributions. Attractive married women vote red, and single, unattractive and unmarried women vote left. Thats the data.

    And here is another example of ‘women’s logic’: men will intuit that ‘by and large this is true’ women will find the exceptional case and say ‘that isn’t universally true’. But ‘by and large’ does not mean that it is universally true, and an outlier does not determine a general case. But you will find in almost every case some women in the group saying such a profoundly stupid thing.

    Why? Because they evolved to think about children being left behind because they are betas, or women being left behind because they are pregnant, or groups being left behind because they are too young or weak to travel – and that is against their strategy.

    EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY

    When you want to understand human beings, then you look to evolutionary biology. Our minds act on behalf of our genes without any greater knowledge of why or how than we have knowledge of how to move our arms and legs – we just do. Our words justify the intuitions of our minds. Our reason evolved to negotiate cooperation on behalf of our genes. Our genetic differences divide us in to an intertemporal distribution of perception, cognition, knowledge labor and advocacy, and voluntary cooperation is the equals=sign that assists us in finding an average of everyone’s interests.

    NEGOTIATION IN A PERCEPTUAL DIVISION OF LABOR

    Words are mostly nonsense even when we don’t ourselves know they are nonsense. That is why truth matters so significantly. Unlike Kant, I do not claim we cannot know the world. I claim that we must cleans error from our knowledge so we know the difference between what our genes evolved to specialize in seeing, and the entire picture we can see without those specializations.

    PROFOUND INNOVATION

    You may not realize in reading this that it is a profound innovation in philosophical thought, but it is and it will change your life if you grasp it.

  • TURNING THE PACIFISM OF THE “DISENFRANCHISED” MOVEMENT INTO AGGRESSIVE WARFARE W

    TURNING THE PACIFISM OF THE “DISENFRANCHISED” MOVEMENT INTO AGGRESSIVE WARFARE

    Well I learned something from the debate with the new nietzscheans over the past few days. But what it has taught me is that I must take down the ‘individual disenfranchised male is superior” movement and transform it from a pacifist obscurantist justification justification of, and admission of defeat, to a rebellion that uses masculine violence to institute change. It is one thing to abandon self sacrifice for women, and quite another to abandon yourself and your people to conquest.

    So. Great. (sarcasm) I get to make more ‘friends’ by demonstrating the fallacy of their false heroism as mask for their admission of beta standing, just so that I can deprive them of the opportunity to engage in another ‘libertarian’ equivalent of seasteading (defeat), or another socialist equivalent of the commune (defeat).

    But, a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do.

    One does not chat one’s self up by casting failure as heroic (that’s jewish and christian ethics for you).

    One does not chat one’s self up by chuffed-up confidence-building over beer or the digital equivalent (internet) with those who agree with you.

    Instead, One makes a plan in which he has confidence and he executes it with discipline, absent emotion, and in particular, absent of fear: (McVeigh,Kaczynski,Breivik, millions of communists, and thousands of radicalized muslim men).

    Christianity taught us to extirpate hatred from our hearts and minds. Military training taught us to extirpate impulse from our hearts and minds – and to hold formation, and execute in formation. Science taught us to extirpate imagination from our hearts and minds.

    Modernity does not require we work in great numbers, or that we even work in formation. The muslims conquered weakened Byzantium and Persia by quick strikes and retreat into the desert. The same way that muslims conquer today by quick raids and retreat into the cities, slums, suburbs and deserts.

    Our western way of war is terribly expensive, because it relies upon technology, planning, and professional warriors to defeat superior numbers through concentration of force, maneuver, and supply lines.

    But we face not military enemies who may conquer us by our FAMILIAR means, but religious enemies who have already conquered and occupied our territory: the alliance of the neo-puritans, feminists, socialists, postmodernists, into the Academy, state, media complex under the banner of democratic secular socialist humanism – but which is no more than profiteering by members of the academy, state and media, by privatizing in to their own corporation, the civilization we have built.

    Just as they force elderly from their homes through taxation and reduce us all to renters of our territory who are cast out when we can no longer perform, they seek to cast our tribe, culture, and race and transferring our nations into rental property – a process which they are currently succeeding with.

    We have been conquered. We are being exterminated. Cowards retreat. The rest of us go to war. And If you do not fight then you are by definition not worthy of survival. There is no heroism in going your own way. There is merely death and defeat of you and your people – evidence of your inferiority.

    You were born with a wealth of violence and through the shaming of women taught not to master it, not to love and care for it, not to build and improve it – so that they could conquer you and defeat you.

    Violence is a virtue. Excellence in violence may be the highest virtue. That is because violence is the determinant of all orders of mankind, and the orders of mankind determine a group’s survival.

    The hundreds of generations of men who came before you fought for your standing, only to have one or two generations abandon it for the pleasure of our women.

    Kill, fight, or perish.

  • The Third Way (the end of history) Is The Truthful Society – Not Democracy

    [I] am not sure how Fukuyama missed it, other than it seems like all throughout his career he seeks to justify his theory of monopoly bureaucracy, and his admiration of Sinic civilization. He investigates the problems of bureaucracy under democracy – the failure to develop an independent professional bureaucracy first, and then democracy, such that patronage jobs are not given out.

    But he does not demonstrate that the public intellectual class and private companies would not create problems of the Deep State’s self maximization of self interest, the parasitism of bureaucracy, and the bureaucracy’s attempt to eliminate all competition, and it’s enforced stagnation. To create a high trust society one requires (a) a near universal militia (b) private property rights, independent judiciary (‘priesthood’) and rule of law proper (c) a natural nobility with long term interest in the territory, (d) insurers of last resort operated by professionals. One does not require a monopoly bureaucracy. It is an admission of the failure of a people to develop and maintain rule of law. One requires rule of law, law sufficiently articulated that it is inescapable (decidable), and universal standing such that the people can make use of it to control anyone acting in a public capacity in addition to private capacity. If the basis of law is articulated as the total prohibition on free riding in all its forms, including: violence, theft, fraud, free riding, conspiracy, invasion and conquest; and if we defend the informational commons from pollution (“Abusus”), by requiring proof of existence and morality in any claim of common good; and if we construct a market for the construction of commons between the classes; then the end of history is not as Fukuyama claims – the professional bureaucracy. Instead, the professional bureaucracy is yet another example of the failure of a people to develop an answer to the problem of politics, ethics, economics and the social sciences. Chinese failed first to solve the problem of politics. They created the monopoly state first, and never discovered the rule of law. And in doing so, they failed first. The end of history – at least the end of history that we can see today – is the truthful society. And democratic polities of all stripes are yet another failure to construct rule of law applicable to every living soul. Curt Doolittle The Propertarian Institute Kiev, Ukraine

  • Counter Intuitive Econ Solved By Operational Analysis: The Internet Increases Prices

    —Economists have two standard very simple models of product competition: firms can compete on price or compete on quantity.— —“whether firms compete on price or quantity depends more on which of these they must commit to earliest, not which is easier to change at the last minute. Knowing this, once you heard that it would be easier to change prices at the last minute for products sold on internet, you should have predicted that the internet would increase quantity competition and reduce price competition. Which it in fact has. Economics is general and robust enough to predict things like how selling products on the internet changes competition. But you have to use it right.”— https://shar.es/17xxNn

    [F]irst, I want to point out that the reason the author is able to make his argument is that he has operationally explained the phenomenon as a sequence of decisions and actions in time.  Yet intuitive economics would suggest that price competition would be increased while operational analysis (incentives) would cause competition to be decreased.   This simple example illustrates why operationalism is so important to the testing of hypothesis. [S]econd, the author is trying to make a different point, but I want to riff off it to show that firms compete in commodity and non-commodity spaces. And to some degree economists study commodity activity where noise and signal cancel one another out. But that isn’t how companies think about competition, it’s how distributors do. I have taught the following means of competition by firms: 1) Price, 2) Quantity, 3) Profitability or Debt 4) Rents (firms like polities accumulate renters) 5) Adaptation Costs (innovator’s dilemma). 6) Geographic Housing Costs (salary costs) 7) Segmentation (startups start in niches and expand) Why?

  • THE FUTURE OF OUR RELIGION: PAGAN, CHRISTIAN, ARISTOTELIAN (from elsewhere)( imp

    THE FUTURE OF OUR RELIGION: PAGAN, CHRISTIAN, ARISTOTELIAN

    (from elsewhere)( important post)

    In an effort to follow the grand tradition of making everyone equally unhappy: the Germanic west has always been both folk pagan and politically Christian and intellectually Aristotelian.

    Like the Chinese who rely on sun tzu in the aristocracy, Confucius in politics and Buddha and Lao tzu in the lower classes, we are and always have been polytheists.

    The church wrote our history. Philosophers from the middle classes wrote alternatives, prophets sated our lower classes and the family persisted our pagan mythos.

    Democratic secular socialist humanism under the control of the academy, media, and state complex have worked more diligently to eradicate our pagan, Christian and Aristotelian mythos by a deluge of propaganda, lying, pseudoscience and political correctness.

    While it is true that we must eradicate this false religion, it is unlikely that Christianity can survive in its current form except by demotion to folk religion. And other than Christian brotherly love, given that this Christian sentiment is the origin of the new religion of the state, it is difficult to suggest that it should.

    Our pagan history is as protective of our culture as Christianity has made us vulnerable to conquest. But it is insufficient for more than a folk history. It has no equivalent of church, ritual and pulpit. No authority on matters moral and non. No bureaucracy capable of perpetuation, and this is all true because we lack a book: a law upon which to construct ritual, institution and persistent mythos.

    Religions require a book. The book must provide a law. That law must solve real problems of organizing a polity such that it can compete to survive if not excel. That law must be sufficient to place moral limits on any state, government or man, abridgment of which licenses ostracism, punishment, deprivation, conquest, and death.

    But such a book and such a religion must promise a future that provides returns to its followers.

    And following such a religion if we can call it that, must not require contra logical belief that the promised future will be brought into existence.

    We are no longer in the age of gods.

    We are in the age of man who may become gods.

    We need a book that satisfies these criteria.

    Preserving the best of the pre-Germanic, Germanic pagan, Christian monarchical, Aristotelian cults, and delivering us from Babylonian Judaism 4.0: Anglo liberalism, and Germanic neo-Puritanism, United with cosmopolitan Jewish socialism.

    We need to use that book to retake our churches. To retake our governments. To retake control of our destiny. To preserve the Majesty and piety of the church, the universal love of the Nazarene, the heroism of Alexander and Odin, the wisdom of the truth of Aristotle, the beauty of the universe transformed by our will into the Eden we did not fall from but instead desire to bring into being.

    Restorations of past mythos cannot be reconstructed. The incentives do not exist. Appeals to restoration of Protestantism, to Catholicism, to Germanic paganism, or Celtic Druidism are mere admissions of failure.

    We need a revolution not a restoration. We need a book. And with that book moral license and individual and collective incentive to overthrow the state religion, spit its members and advocates upon pikes, hang their followers, crucify our enemies, destroy their monuments, burn their books, and to associate through repetition the names of false gods, false prophets, distributors of falsity, so that none dare speak their names except as a impolitic curse.

    Evolve or perish.

    A book.

    A plan.

    An organization

    And violent action.

  • (not that I feel like beating on russia these days, but truth is truth) The west

    (not that I feel like beating on russia these days, but truth is truth)

    The west has legitimate problems with Russia:

    1) Russia’s history of murdering its own people in vast numbers, and occupying and destroying much of eastern Europe, and then engaging in both the cold war and the expansion of world communism. This history prevents Russia from making a legitimate claim to extension of its borders just as we resist german’s extension of is borders.

    2) Absence of rule of law, widespread corruption, use of propaganda and outright lying – which in Russia is heroic and in the west is the very pinnacle of immorality. The Russian sponsorship of a predatory government maintaining the poverty of the people of Ukraine and its agitation over the return of eastern Europe to christendom given its history was and is intolerable both to Westerners and to eastern europeans. The assumption that Russia would add rule of law but retain its conservatism was just fine – as long as Russia joined the west thereby uniting all european peoples and restoring christendom after its destruction by the communists. This would have achieved the long standing goal of uniting german culture and engineering with Russian resources and labor.

    3) Russian intellectuals’ fascination with the restoration of an empire responsible for genocides only surpassed by the Chinese, and the tragic victimization and impoverishment of eastern Europe, and even Germany – instead of unity of european peoples. As if power – disappearing people in the night, suppressing speech, and terrorism by secret police – rather than prosperity were somehow something to aspire to.

    4) Invasion of Ukraine breaking the postwar consensus on borders – the purpose of which was to prevent another world war. In doing so Russia confirmed both its failure to learn from its past failings, and its willingness to impose harm on ‘our people’. Putin was until then a respected politician in the west who could just have asked the west to negotiate a trade for discounted natural gas in exchange for a full crimean lease including independence on the hong kong model for 200 years – after which it would have been irrelevant. The same for the Donbas since Ukrainians despise that region because it’s the source of Russian influence on the government, source of gangsters supported by Russia, and the source of the drug trade. So Putin confirmed that Russia had learned nothing, and wishes to repeat its past crimes against humanity.

    American utopianism is absurd and the neo-conservative movement has been as disastrous as the progressive, neo-puritain, and socialist. Americans are perfectly happy to feel good about themselves by punishing brown and yellow people the world over. America has the luxury of stupidity due to wealth in part gained by their domestic utopianism.

    And sure, democracy is done for, republicanism is a luxury of wealthy europeans riding on the accumulated wave of centuries of intellectual, technical and artistic achievement. Yes, women have have used enfranchisement to incrementally destroy the west that alone liberated them, and yes, the left has used the funding provided by women through advertising and expanding education in the the academy and rent seeking that expands the state to convert us into another brazil.

    That does not mean that anything Russia desires or does is not more of the same even worse than we have experienced from her before. She rails against the nazis who were half the criminals the russians have been.

    That people want strength is a statement of their weakness.
