  • THE FUNDAMENTALS OF A HIGH-TRUST SOCIETY By Alain Dwight and Bill Joslin Alain D

    THE FUNDAMENTALS OF A HIGH-TRUST SOCIETY
    By Alain Dwight and Bill Joslin

    Alain Dwight:

    Quoting;

    —“It is honorable for a man to admit his fears, resistance, and edge of practice. It is simply true that each man has his limit, his capacity for growth, and his destiny. But it is dishonorable for him to lie to himself or others about his real place.

    He shouldn’t pretend he is more enlightened than he is – nor should he stop short of his actual edge. The more a man is playing his real edge, the more valuable he is as good company for other men, the more he can be trusted to be authentic and fully present.

    Where a man’s edge is located is less important than whether he is actually living his edge in truth, rather than being lazy or deluded.”—-David Deida

    Seems a bit on the “spiritual” and “emotional” side; not sure if I like the word destiny; and not sure the location of your “edge” is always less important, but the rest of this passage is solid.

    Bill Joslin:

    I think it’s bang on.

    There is nothing wrong with emotional or spiritual if it’s kept in its proper place (personal meaning) and destiny can be seen as fulfilling ones potential. (Can’t keep a good man down – can’t elevate a bad man for long).

    This, IMO, is the martial spirit. If you don’t report accurately your ability and limitations, you put your brother’s at risk.

    Reliable reporting – truthful reporting i.e. Honesty before face) – along with mitigating conflict between dangerous men, constitute the fundamental foundational requirements of a high-trust society.

    SIX HUNDRED YEARS OF CHRISTIAN DESTRUCTION OF CIVILIZATION
    by Steven Jackson

    The benedictine monks only restored a semblance of culture after 600 years of destruction.

    The monastic traditions predate Christianity, they were infiltrated by Christian thought and destroyed classical culture.

    Read “the Darkening Age” it outlines the Christian destruction of the Classical World from the view of the Greco-Romans.

    The roman persecution of the Christians was exaggerated.

    The persecution was BY the Christians.

    So Yeah. It’s about time we had someone other than Kind hearted Hayek, Gentle Soul Sowell, and justifiably fire-in-the-theater yelling Buchanan.

    So yeah. I do the intellectual thing.
    I do truth, law, revolution, violence.

    Then, raise the jolly roger, and cut throats.

    MAYBE BUT I CAN’T SEE ROLLING BACK THE CLOCK OF SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE.

    @TOOEdit

    I would love to have this discussion with you because I’m torn between the demonstrated value of the group strategy in Christianity, and the method of delivery (semitic parable) and the method of persuasion (False Promise, Baiting into Moral Hazard, Pilpul and Critique.)

    Same with Duchesne. He also puts value in Christianity that I don’t see. And it might be because of the radius of corruption that extends out from the Church – especially Italy. Studying Economics and Law produces a very different history from Theo, Phil, and and Literature.

    All peoples need a binding narrative that contains a group strategy, a means of decidability(morality), a means of ‘mindfulness’ for personal, interpersonal, and social, a means of status equalization (festivals), for what’s reducible to maintaining a neural economy. Why Xianity?

    And can Christianity be reformed so that we preserve the historical commonality of strategy, but have supernatural, moral-normative, and ratio-scientific means of education (indoctrination, training) that doesn’t make us vulnerable to semitism (submission, sophism) and “lying”?

    Religion has been the hardest problem in social science, and it’s precisely the invulnerability to rational argument that provides intergenerational transmission with minimum modification of the underlying strategy.

    (Thanks for letting me think out loud. 😉 )

    —“Intergenerational wealth is the true test of ability.”— Erik Lukovsky

    It’s extremely hard to maintain wealth over more than three generations. There are plenty of families who have done so for hundreds of years.

    That’s what nobility means.
    Although we presume they do good service from their vantage point.
