(FB 1542332558 Timestamp) WE BELIEVE WAR IS POLITICS BY OTHER MEANS AND THEY BELIEVE POLITICS IS WAR BY OTHER MEANS. by Greg Hamilton I became acutely aware of the issue about twenty years ago when I read The Western Way of War by VDH We westerners have been trained and probably genetically selected to favor one type of war, the decisive battle with terms of surrender. Basically nearly a sporting event. This led me on a big study of maneuver and asymmetry. Here my super short takeaway. Asymmetry of beliefs, values, definitions, etc is a harder asymmetry to deal with than weapons, skills, etc. We can kill the islamic terrorists 100:1 and they consider themselves the victor. And our national will is broken by the 1. Somalia pirates are savages with rifles and we cant bring ourselves to just overwhelm them and be done with it, so they actually threaten giant steel ships. Asymmetry of beliefs. Our new morals are paralyzing and suicidal. China conducts non-stop war upon us, its just doesn’t include shooting, and we roll over and take it. Because we believe war is politics by other means and they believe politics is war by other means.

(FB 1542324002 Timestamp) ( example: more over the top confrontation from elsewhere on the web ) —“I am using the opportunity your sarcasm presented to stay on message. I deal with science not psychologism, moralism, or presumption of a value of others nor a debt to those who are debtors by nature – these are frauds. Either you can make an argument to reciprocal value or you cant. Since my presumption is you (collectively) are dead weight cost, that you are undesirable, costly, damaging, and disgusting – and your approval, consent, cooperation irrelevant – and that you have nothing to offer or trade. I take the position that it is preferable to separate from or conquer and decimate your political wing rather than suffer your presence. All I have done is provide the argument that moral men may do to you as they wish out of self defense. “—

(FB 1542383392 Timestamp) by James Santagata A glimpse into a “hot” US Civil War. If we expect the initial hostilities to fall along political ideology, left vs right (parasite vs producer), then we can see by the ideology maps that the leftists primarily occupy major cities. Dense, urban settings. The thing is, even in today’s “functioning” leftist cities, crime is rampant as is refuse and human waste. Some cities like San Diego has recurring hepatitis outbreaks now…. San Fran is swimming in human feces. Now imagine when the power goes down, the lights go dark, the water stops flowing, the water becomes non-potable, the store shelves run bare and resupplies are sporadic if at all. That will happen with a week of a shut down. Power substations hit, key power transmission lines taken out, roadways barricaded or railways lines sabotaged. It really doesn’t take much for the whole system to screech to a halt.

What I see your work in operationalism as, is a manifestation of this attempt in the realm of logics-linguistics, instead of mathematics-hard sciences Whereas he is trying to suggest a framework where the hard sciences and the biological sciences can talk, you are offering a framework where the hard sciences, the logics/mathematics and the social sciences can talk.”— Yiannis Kontinopoulos Correct, and I discuss this in my book. Well done!!!!!!!!

Some things can only be learned by suffering–enduring the consequences of your agency.”—Chip Sills This kind of conflation of heroic effort with suffering is a christian mental disease. if it is some kind of suffering for you then you are mentally, physically, emotionally unfit or inferior… its just work. cancer, serious illness, pain, divorce, loss, this is not suffering but endurance. suffering is loss regardless of action. all else is work. If you make the choice it may be Work to achieve or Tragedy to fail to achieve, but Suffering is due to that which is beyond your actions.

(FB 1542386080 Timestamp) IT DOESN’T TAKE 30 YEARS TO SPEAK IN THE NATURAL LAW. IT TAKES AS LONG AS A DEGREE IN THE LAW —“In 30 years maybe I’ll have Curt’s ability to summarise this well.”— Regarding: ( “….No Marxist, postmodern, feminist revolution is possible because the competence structure necessary for the preservation of human standards of living cannot tolerate any other distribution than the Pareto…..”) Just to comfort you … it takes four years on average if you try to construct and repeat the arguments. There are people who are faster and take a year or so, but only four so far. We have pre-complied many of the arguments. We are in the process of refining them today into Definitions, Series (this>that>that-other), Aphorisms, and Maxisms, (like the quote above) that can be memorized rather than reinvented each time you want to use them. So it depends on age (younger is easier), personality (observers, lower agreeableness), and whether you have experience in philosophy of science, programming, economics, and history, so that you either have an existing framework, or so that you are not so ‘addicted’ to analogies and literature that (really) induce a form of ignorance through imprecision. Evidence is that if you are drawn to philosophy and theology it might be an impediment – although not always. Philosophy and theology as practiced are a significant part of the problem: fantasy literature.
