  • WESTERN INSTITUTIONS AROSE OUT OF DISTRIBUTED POWER

    Feb 5, 2020, 11:44 AM

    —“all these [european] institutions arose out of the progressive rationalization of fear and terror — the true bases of the liberalistic *reciprocol state (which actually has no right of resistance, as herr Schmitt knew well)”— (((Gamhard McCoy)))

    THE INSTITUTIONS: Sovereignty, Duel, Court, Government, Monarchy.

    1. Constrain one another’s words with the duel.
    2. Constrain one another’s action with the court, having failed to constrain them with threat of the duel.
    3. Constrain a group, or industry with the court of commons for having failed to constrain one another with the court.
    4. Constrain a government with an election for having failed to constrain individuals, groups, or industries.
    5. Constrain a monarchy with a revolution for having failed to constrain the government.

    They did? Conquerors thought in terms of fear and terror when their gods and mythos put them equal to gods, and they conquered everything from Spain to the edge of china? Those institutions arose out of the necessity of a small number of professional warriors dependent upon expensive technology (horse, bronze, chariot) that could not pay for a standing army and were dependent upon raising voluntary militia due to the inability of western peoples (horses, cattle, grasslands) to concentrate capital as was possible in the flood river valley civilizations (grains) and pastoralist early neolithic farmers (sheep, grain). I don’t make errors. Because I don’t read literature (lies). I study Archaeology, Technology, Economics, Military and Legal records are evidence – literature is fiction and deceit. 😉 You can’t do that because it would falsify your entire mythology, network of lies, and method of excuses making by lies. I know. It’s OK. You can’t help it. It’s genetic. ON SCHMITT(GERMANY) IN CONTEXT Schimtt btw was following the natural human bias expressed in intellectual tradition of trying to solve the problem of a stable state in a period of necessity of rapid adaptation, when the deliberative (adversarial) model of political (middle class) compromise was insufficiently responsive, and required extraordinary impositions on the investments of stakeholders. As is usual for continentals, who cannot manage to escape the dependence upon obedience as a means of avoiding interpersonal conflict, competition, and compromise, it never occurred to Schmidt that the anglo-saxon pre-napoleonic method of political decidability, or it’s roman and it’s greek predecessors, nor its proto-germanic predecessors, nor its western indo-european predecessors placed decisions with the family, the jury/thang, the warriors/nobles, or the chieftain/king depending upon the category of the question at hand. In times of war we give unto generals (dictators), in times of peace we give over to the middle class (republics) in times of windfall we give over to the people (democracy). So that the problem is that the pursuit of power by people, middle, nobility, and monarchy were unable to discover (as had the anglos) the means of transferring power dependent upon the condition – and that as warfare transitioned from purely territorial agrarian to trade and industrial economic and ideological warfare, that having failed to articulate their customs as formal law prohibited them from discovering rules for the distribution and concentration of power as context required. Schmidtt like all continentals since the french revolution, was another idiot trying to restore the hierarchy of church(political judiciary), judiciary(material judiciary), monarchy(military) burgher(middle class) and labor, without realizing that they were still trying to escape the church and restore traditional rule – but instead were still stuck on countering anglo empiricism and its continuous competition and trying to recreate secular theological harmony. The continent is a catastrophe with the french trying to recreate latin church authoritarianism, the germans lost in trying to work away guilt that they should not have for resisting russian jews and french authority with wishful thinking instead of monarchical and traditional restoration, with the slavs understanding completely, and the Russians waiting for revenge.

  • “You Frame Everything as ….”

    Feb 5, 2020, 3:41 PM (important)(very choice words below)

    —“You stick all issues into a narrow narrative of,, destroying western civilization” and, in my opinion, this makes you overlook any other motivations of movements such as marxism and pomo”—Vlad Popescu

    How long have you been following me? What’s the difference between (a) Judaism > Christianity > Islam and (b) Fundamentalism > Marxism > Feminism > Postmodernism? The only difference is the use of the abrahamic method of deceit in the ancient world using sophism and the supernatural, and the abrahamic method of deceit in the modern world, using sophism and pseudoscience. Otherwise it’s the same technique: False promise, baiting into hazard. Whether you promise the impossible and unwarrantable after death or after revolution is immaterial. They are impossible and unwarrantable. I mean, that’s why i’m so hostile to christanity’s use of the abrahamic method – it teaches people not only to be vulnerable to lies, but to apply the technique of lying to their own speech.

    —“Just as I said, you appoint every movement that you dislike(or so it seems) the goal of deceiving. Remember Descartes when he said he often ridiculed other countries’ social norms, but then he thought that his social norms may be seen as ridicule from the outside? Point is, you cannot claim to understand marxism and poststructuralism if you do not dive deep into them, leaving all the prejudices aside. And that s what i love about so called,, western culture “, the tradition of doubting the soundness of your own beliefs. And I agree that Marxism-Leninism(not marxism ÃŪn general) is mistaking by pretending that a voluntary, somewhat forced revolution will bring progress towards a new stage of the economy, surpassing capitalism even though the material conditions of our age cannot allow for that”—Vlad Popescu

    I don’t like them because they’re deceptions – it’s not that I label them as deceptions because I don’t like them. You must be new. I don’t opine on whether statements are reciprocal(truthful) or not. statements are truthful (reciprocal) regardless of what opinion I hold. Do you know when you’re lying? How much agency do you have? Your children? The women you know? How much agency do they really have? How much are they just imitation machines doing what they have learned to imitate? The fact that the abrahamic method of deceit is as advanced a method of deception as the Aristotelian method of testimony, is simply a technical fact. The fact that the monotheistic religions’ attacks on market religion and norms (paganism), and the monopoly pseudoscientific attacks on market philosophy and laws, use the same technique of attempting to reverse voluntary markets with involuntary monopoly authority using false promise of life after death or false promise of economic, status, and power rewards after revolution, is a trivial distinction that varies only a subtle alteration of the lie. Western civ developed math, reason, science, technology, engineering, medicine, and dragged mankind out of ignorance, hard labor, poverty, suffering, and disease in just a few centuries in the bronze, ancient, and modern worlds. And it’s rather obviously due to the degree of correspondence of our metaphysics (realism, naturalism, operationalism, reciprocity) and our group strategy (sovereignty), and the social order of markets in everything, including jury, tripartism, trifunctionalism, and meritocracy. So because people vote with their feet, the evidence is pretty clear that they want the result of the western method even if they don’ want to bear the cost of persisting it.

  • Utility of Religion

    Feb 6, 2020, 6:10 PM By Bill Joslin I think religious utility is easy (He says with 20-20 hindsight after over a year of participation in king of the hill games hahahah.) Its function is to provide graceful failure.

    1. High agency/autonomy: rational/reason, consequentialism, calculation 2. Mid agency/limited autonomy: rational, emulation, virtue (qualities to emulate) 3. Low agency/highly limited autonomy : emotion(intuition-impulse), rules (deontic ethics), The church (or religions) serve to bridge the bottom two rungs whereby some religions emphasize rules (deontic) and other emphasize emulation (virtues) and have been constructed through a means of ad-hoc post-hoc collection of rules and qualities to emulate that further the particular group’s survivability. (A god(s) exists as behaviour-modifying belief that insures survivability)

  • Anglo Common “Adversarial” Law Persisted for A Reason

    Feb 7, 2020, 9:15 PM

    —“Depending on the legal market and parties involved, the adversarial nature of law can actually be quite constructive. You come to learn quickly who the honest but zealous advocates are, as opposed to the slimy, deceitful guys trying to hide evidence, defend absurd positions, etc. Especially in small markets, the two groups quickly separate, as oil and water, and interactions between the honest group are beneficial to themselves and their clients. The deceitful scum generally cost themselves and their clients in the long run. They value face over truth, and that’s soon apparent to those who value truth more highly.”–Brad Lehman

  • You Can’t Stop Noticing

    Feb 7, 2020, 9:22 PM

    —“I must give you credit, because once you notice the relatively subtle methods of deceit through framing, etc., you can’t stop noticing, and it can be tremendously valuable. Even in legal brief-writing. “Your Honor, notice how they attempted to deceive you by….” … People are too accustomed to thinking of deceit only in terms of outright lies. But the other methods of deceit are crucial to understand as well. You have been instrumental in my understanding of those.— A Friend.

    Hugs brother. It’s hard to believe the promise we make, that if you learn P, it will influence you – and once you understand how the deceits are constructed you see them everywhere. And if you can see and name a thing, you can defeat a thing.
