    A QUESTION ABOUT DIVERSITY

    Why is an unlimited diversity of NORMS desirable, but an unlimited diversity of INCOME undesirable? Is there no relationship between norms and the production of income? So then, why not a redistribution of norms in exchange for a redistribution of income?

    If trust declines as diversity increases, and wealth decreases as trust decreases, and people demonstrate a clear desire for consumption, and consumption requires wealth, and most consumption requires redistribution, then why is diversity ‘good’ if it makes us less trusting of each other, poorer, and less able to redistribute?

  • LIBERTARIANS: GIVEN OUR LACK OF SUFFICIENT NUMBERS WITHIN OUR MAJORITY RULE POLI

    LIBERTARIANS: GIVEN OUR LACK OF SUFFICIENT NUMBERS WITHIN OUR MAJORITY RULE POLITICAL SYSTEM:

    Would you rather have a society that accommodated conservative moral codes, but were guaranteed private property rights and a constrained state, or would you rather have a society that accommodated progressive moral codes and were specifically denied property rights by an omnipotent state?

    You get to choose one or the other. There is no third option. Libertarian ethics are intolerable to conservatives because of conservative concern for the ‘commons’ of moral capital, and progressives for because of their concern for the ‘commons’ of physical capital.

    We have failed. We will continue to fail. Mercantile aristocratic egalitarianism (libertarianism) is insufficient in moral breadth to accomodate martial aristocratic egalitarianism (conservatives) OR to accommodate equalitarian socialists (progressives). People vote moral codes. Period.

    There are too few of us. It isn’t a question of ‘understanding’. Or of ‘communication’. It’s a question of morality and immorality. Rothbardian ethics are insufficiently moral to enfranchise enough individuals to obtain the power needed to enact policy that protects property rights. Conservatives and progressives alike consider our moral code immoral. We can’t convert them.

    Period.

    DATA ON TRUST VS PACK INSTINCT?

    We have a lot of data describing the different levels of trust between cultures. But does anyone know of any data that deals with the different levels of pack (group) instinct between cultures. Aboriginal Americans, and East Asians seem at the extreme. Turkic, semitic peoples, in the middle and Indo Europeans in the middle and africans at the low end.

    For example, we know that as babies, asians are more pliable, whites in the middle and africans at the lowest. That’s a pretty good data set, even if it’s certainly open to criticism.

    It’s all good to intuit this. But how can I test it? Any data anywhere?

    Why are western academics afraid of Truth, Beauty, Excellence? And god forbid, our martial virtues, and the aristocratic creation of civilization through conquest of the primitive.

  • What Will Come After Democracy?

    Some of us have been working on this problem for a very long time. Ever since we realized that democracy (universal enfranchisement without demonstrated merit) was simply the slow road to totalitarianism.

    The arguments vary from increasing totalitarianism (most likely) to American dissolution (most beneficial) to direct monetary democracy( you vote your money to what you want without a corruptible middleman that we call a politician) to a market system where the government is merely constitutional and insurance companies are who we rely upon.  There are many different permutations.  However, most of us believe that the only possible venue will be totalitarianism and civil war, since it is impossible to get people to agree on a new system unless under threat of chaos.

  • What Should Be Humanity’s Goal?

    A homogeneity of interests would lead us to become evolutionarily vulnerable   The question implies it’s a good. When in fact, the question is rather, “humanity as a whole should not have a goal, only an agreed upon means of achieving dispararte goals. To do otherwise is the presumption of knowledge.

    Our only shared goal is to persist.
