As Far As I know, This Is The Definitive Analysis of the Church
[A]s far as I know: 1) The church served as a wealthy but weak professional administrative branch of government. 2) The church could grant moral authority to nobility and monarchy, or revoke it. Meaning that if revoked, your lands were marked for conquest by others. 3) The central tenet of christianity is the extension of kinship love to non-kin, breaking familial and tribal bonds. This is the only meaningful principle. It also happens to intuitively reflect hunter gatherer ethics and morality. 4) The church was able to legally enforce this policy by the prohibition on cousin marriage, and the grant of property rights to women. 5) While the church pursued these policies purely out of self interest: the removal of competition to the church as government, and the cheaper acquisition of lands, the net effect was to restore order to Celtica after the Roman destruction of Celtic Civilization and the impact of the migration period, and to provide sufficient administrative support that Saxon (north sea hanseatic) civilization could evolve into what we think of as Protestant Europe. There is nothing valuable at all in the literature. It is mere nonsense. The ‘good’ outcomes were the product of one principle ‘love’ and one institution: property rights under the common saxon law, administered by literate if ignorant clerks. Rome created a false history of european barbarism. The church, starting with Bede, has been successful in authoring a false history of Europe. Just as the “democratic era’ has authored a false history of Europe. Just as americans are being taught a false history of Europe. Economic history tells us differently. Aristocracy, sovereignty and Militita, Rule of Law, the common law of property, Extra-kinship love and high trust. These institutions produce the lowest transaction costs, and therefore highest possible economic velocity humans are capable of.

Because in each case we test for different properties all of which we blanket under an analogy to the term “true”, but none of which are infirmationally complete enough to in fact be true (ultimately parsimonious).
Instead, when we use the term true, we mean that we have adhered to moral norms in each case, when we give our testimony ( speak ).
Truth then is a moral warranty of due diligence against falsehood. It is not and cannot ever exist outside of tautology.

THE REASONS THERE ISN’T ANYBODY OUT THERE? (re-shared to douse the flame war) 0)
THE REASONS THERE ISN’T ANYBODY OUT THERE?
(re-shared to douse the flame war)
0) The universe isn’t really old enough to have confidence it’s baked more advanced civilizations. It takes a long time to bake the elements, and then longer to bake life, and longer for intelligence to evolve. On evolutionary time scales, the universe isn’t that old.
1) Why do we think we’ve cracked the technological walnut? Why won’t it take us just as long to invent interstellar travel as it took to invent either farming, science, or the industrial revolution? Why isn’t the computational power necessary to harness the first principles of the universe a logarithmic advance over our current understanding? I mean, most of our prosperity today is the more the result of harnessing fossil fuels than of technological advancement. So why won’t it take us another half billion years to do it? (not that I think it will – but we have no way of knowing.)
2) Out here in the spiral-suburbs its pretty peaceful despite nearly exterminating all life ever 65M years or so. But most of the universe is a very hostile place for life. Most of the starry-places are dangerous given the long period required for life-baking (evolution)
3) Why would anyone more advanced be interested in us given the likely costs of travel? If you can travel, why go slumming? We aren’t terribly interesting.
4) Why would anyone interested in us come here visibly and personally, instead of sending (small, fast) machines to come watch us?
5) Its intuitively unlikely that given our rather young technology, and our inability to solve the fundamentals of the universe that advanced civilizations would communicate by the rather primitive (radiation) means that we do. I mean, smoke signals, yodels, horn blasts, and drum beats seem as silly to us as pushing radiation into the void will to others.
6) Intelligence emerges via predators. And even though predators seek to pacify once they achieve dominance, I am having a hard time imagining a benevolent ET. I mean, if we’re less advanced, the only value one gets out of the terrible expense of interstellar travel is a planetary life system that they have to compete with us for.
So. Shhh… Be a good child and listen.

Revolution: The Plan
[W]estern Man is moral man, and moral men need: 1 – A Moral Justification for the application of Violence to institute change. (They are being lied to, and stolen from, and conquered systematically, and I explain how, why, and how to stop it.) (Ideologies require promise of actionable results within the current lifetime.)
2 – A Solution to Demand: a set of institutional changes (concentration of effort) (an expansion of the classical liberal legal order to suppress lying, wishful thinking, bias and error in matters of the political commons; and a reconstruction of the houses of government as a market for the voluntary construction of commons.) 3 – A means of transition from one order to another. (An ordered means of rapid transformation within the status quo.) 4 – A set of tactics for raising the cost of the status quo: insurrection via: nullification (gradual disempowerment and transition to new government), secession(construction of a new government retaining the previous competitor), revolution (replacement of the people in government and modification of institutions eliminating the previous competitor) and civil war (destruction of the government and replacement with an entirely new one, eliminating the previous competitors). 5 – A set of leaders (speakers) to rally action. (I need 100 people. That’s all. I need only twelve who are very good.) Propertarianism and Testimonialism will be a more complete framework than has been produced before, even if we take into account all of Locke,Hume,Smith and Jefferson as a set. And if I fail, then the work sits in books and records until someone decides to use it or create something better. But I will have my good service. One leads a horse to water, but cannot make it drink. Curt Doolittle The Philosophy of Aristocracy The Propertarian Institute Kiev, Ukraine -
