Conservatism refers to a certain set of traditions most visible in Aristocratic egalitarian ethics, Anglo of Rule of Law under Natural and Common Law, and the family as both sacred and the primary unit of both reproduction and production.

Is your example different from someone buying blocks of the best tix for a rock concert, and then selling those tix for profit at far higher prices?
Well, I can go other way with a private property, but not common property. We cannot privatize the commons. that’s the entire point of commons. I’m not big on scalping. Although what scalping does is make people who have money and no time pay a premium for not waiting in line – and to some degree I find that hard to argue with.

Interesting.
Why can’t we outlaw virtue signaling as a form of theft?

It took me two years to clean up #libertarianism. Do I need to clean up the pseudoscience and nonsense of the @_AltRight_ #AltRight now?

So how do we restructure it?

QUESTION OF THE DAY
Why is it necessary for governments to legislate norms?
Why do governments have the epistemic, moral, or practical justification (and this is where justification matters) for the legislation of norms?
If we cooperate by natural law (non-imposition) then the civic society is the logical outcome – unless there is social devolution because of heterogeneity.
Why should I appeal to the provision of commons (government) for that which is a natural law (court)?
(Please avoid libertarian idiocy, and lets stay in the realm of social science. ie: why is it necessary?)

[W]HY IS THERE WHITE TRASH?
—Curt: Can you explain the whole white trash phenomenon? How can a country so wealthy and full of opportunities have white trash? I anticipate that your answer is likely to be “it’s all IQ” or something along these lines, but aren’t there opportunities for dumb people as well?—-
“All happy families are the same. All unhappy families are different”
“All domesticate-able animals are the same. All un-domesticate-able animals are different”
“All ‘good’ people are the same, all ‘bad’ people are different”
IQ is correlative, but insufficient explanation for cause. But personality is sufficient.
If we take all these variables:
Visualization challenged vs Visualization/spatial intelligence
Communication challenged vs Verbal intelligence
autistic vs solipsistic
introversion vs extroversion
constancy vs novelty
disciplined vs undisciplined
secure/calm vs nervous/sensitive
compassionate/cooperative vs suspicious/antagonistic
Impulsivity vs non-impulsivity
submissive vs aggressive
With just these variables, we humans have the ability to construct cooperative, disciplined and satisfied minds, or aggressive, undisciplined and unsatisfied minds.
The reason people in the bottom classes are generally difficult to employ MIGHT be intelligence, but all research I have read of late (when we see pseudoscience slowly receding in social science) is pretty consistent in stating that the unemployable people are just ‘bad personalities’. Much of the time it is that they constantly get negative feedback for their behaviors, and this effectively drives all of us into frustration.
White trash is a minority in western civilization but in many cultures it’s the majority. Our culture systematically eliminated these people over many centuries. So they are smaller in number, but now rapidly breeding.
It’s not all IQ. It is just that IQ and ‘good’ behaviors very often increase accordingly. Or that IQ allows us to COMPENSATE for our bad behaviors while lack of it forces us to give into those bad behaviors.
INFORMATION
I use the information model to study human behavior. And so I focus on the fact that all of these behaviors are constructed by the ability to organize and process information that gives us hormonal (chemical) rewards. Broken people have less ability to gain psychic rewards. Healthy people have more opportunity to gain psychic rewards.
Each of us has a frustration budget.
People at the bottom burn through that budget pretty frequently.
you can have a dumb person with all good traits, and a smart person with all bad traits. It just isn’t that common.
