—“The Western identity, in broadest terms, is the inheritance of the Roman/Imperium and our European (aryan) intuitions. Transcendence refers to many things: Aryan doctrines, Stoicism, the Divine—anything that resists the temptation to fall into unconsciousness and entropy.”— Josh Jeppson

PILPUL: ONE ENGAGES IN THE ART OF FICTIONALISM: LYING
—“Pilpul is the Talmudic term used to describe a rhetorical process that the Sages used to formulate their legal decisions. The word is used as a verb: one engages in the process of pilpul in order to formulate a legal point. It marks the process of understanding legal ideas, texts, and interpretations.”—
The purpose of pilpul is to find what is not there, or to place there what is not.
Pilpul is the origin of the art of lying.
The introduction of pilpul into anglo law was the means by which our constitution of natural law was destroyed.

“ARISTOCRACY IS TO POLITY WHAT CAPITALISM IS TO ECONOMY”
(brilliant)
by Simon Ström
I disagree with the premise that democratic elections are a market for the best government, and it’s demonstrably untrue unless you believe “real” democracy has yet to be implemented. The theory behind democracies’ producing bad government should be something along the lines that it fixes the weight of suffrage in polity equivalent to a severe price control regime in economy (“communism”), to the detriment of entrepreneurship and economic competitiveness.
In aristocracy, there is no suffrage except when peers or parties (classes) broker deals between them, and at those times suffrage is by no means fixed to equal per individual, but determined according to the market value of each respective parties’ potential of cooperation, boycott or violence; either ad hoc (gathering of a thing/political marketplace to address a particular issue) or by convention (multi-house parliament/estates). This is the polity equivalent of free-market economy.
CURT: Clarifying terms:
ARISTOCRACY: Aristocratic production of COMMONS(meaning government) and RULE by Rule of law by Natural Law by an independent judiciary (a cult of law).
We conflate Rule(via negativa) and Government(via positiva), Just as the Abrahamists conflate Truth, Law and History with Wisdom, Command and Myth. Truth requires deflation.

Mom’s say “be careful” 1000 times a day.
Boys need men to know it’s OK to take risks at all.
Boys need men to say:
– Get on the roof
– Climb that tree
– Yes, you can jump from there.
– Punch the bastard.

SOVEREIGNTY IS A GIFT OF THE WARRIOR CLASS
by Rakesh Sahgal
Liberty flows from sovereignty .
Sovereignty is a gift of the warrior class imposing rule of law, under natural law, universal standing, and universal application, producing markets for reproduction(marriage), production(goods, services, and information), commons, and polities, wherein each man fully insures each other man and his property in toto from imposition of costs.
Libertarians need to comprehend this reality and either support the warrior class or stay out of it’s way, because they i.e. libertarians exist BECAUSE of the sovereignty the warrior class creates.

TEACHING RATIONAL VS SCIENTIFIC?
Oh. It’s bad. But… It gets a *lot* worse…
—“AAAAhhhh And therein’ lay the problem. People confuse rational and scientific.”— Nick Heywood
Yeah, they do. But lets look at the full epistemic Series:
Series: Experienceable, Imaginable, Reasonable(Rational), Rational(Logical), Empirical(factual), Ratio-Empirical(weak-scientific), Operational(Algorithmic/Recipe), Ratio-Empirical-Operational(strong-scientific), Moral(Reciprocal), Reasonable-Ratio-Empirical-Operational-Moral, Complete(Scope), Testimonial.
So yeah. If we taught everyone that series and what it means, then they might stop conflating terms and appealing to authority via use of terms, when they have no idea what they mean.
We can deflate existence into testable dimensions, and by testing each learn something. But rarely can we say anything about any single dimension exportable to more dimensions without accumulating successful tests of dimensions.
