    Eric Danelaw

    So your position is that reciprocity should not be based upon current conditions but past conditions? In other words, we are held accountable for the actions of our ancestors? Rather than engaing in cooperation and exchange today?

    I mean, in the past, (1) conquest and genocide has been dominant for all of human history, and the most influential actions peoples can take. (2) migrations in history are the norm not the exception. (3) asymmetric warfare is the norm not the exception. (4) the second generation of land migrants into the norht amarican continent exterminated the first. The romans exterminated the celts. The arabs exterminated five great civilizations of teh ancient world and reduced them to ignorance and poverty. Which past crimes do we correct? Or do we work in the present to cooperate?

    I think it’s a mixture of both. Current and past.

    Eric Danelaw

    —“I think it’s a mixture of both. Current and past.”–

    That just means you want to escape making a decision so you can justify any action, right?

    Here is how we treat it in the west: if you create infrastructure it’s yours. If you don’t create infrastructure you’re a parasite, that’s holding land from more productive people.

    The way we viewed it in the past is that primitive people were basically animals. It was the church that asserted we not do so (the scholastics).

    So do we ask the muslims for repartions for their destruction of western, north african, egyptian, levantine, persian, byzantine, north indian civilizations?

    Or do we just say ‘we know more now today than the past, and how can we come to agreement?’

    Donterell

    By that logic north America should be owned by the Blacks, Chinese, and Mexicans who built the infrastructure.

    (marxist labor theory of value, instead of high trust construction of value)

    Eric Danelaw

    Interesting thought. So then the only solution is warfare?

    Donterell

    Hasn’t [warfare] always been the European solution to anything involving people who didn’t look like them? They only use diplomacy in their internal dealings.

    For the record America counts in this regard. We dont really war with other white countries. Only ones who are brown lead. Perhaps this has to do with the bankers…who knows.

    Eric Danelaw

    Um. I can’t think of any reason not to conquer and enslave people other than beneficial cooperation.

    I mean, you’re certainly advocating for holding people responsible for actions that were not of their making.

    So that’s no beneficial cooperation. It’s just predation.

    1 – First question of philosophy: why do I not commit suicide?

    2 – First question of ethics: why do I not fight against you and take your stuff?

    3 – First question of politics: why do I and mine not war against you and take your stuff?

    I mean. either we cooperate or we war.

    I prefer war, because I prefer not to tolerate the insults of the underclasses.

    But if cooperation is possible and profitable then it is preferable to the expense of conquest.

    The only reason to cooperate is that it is more profitable than predation.

    The weak don’t have that choice. The strong do.

    Morality does not exist outside of cooperation. There are no limits in war.

    So I don’t see any value in moralistic arguments since we are either cooperating or we are not. If we are that is good. if we are not then either one is too little trouble, or too costly, or worth defeating, depriving, and ending.

    Donterell

    I prefer war as well. In that regard, let the black South Africans kill the invaders.

    Eric Danelaw

    Excellent, then we are agreed to go to war, and reconquer the continent

    War is the most profitable and pleasant industry

    We are better at that industry than any other peoples.

    Might as well get back to it.

    We gave the primitive peoples a chance. If they don’t want to join the aristocracy, then they can rejoin the serfs.

    Eric Danelaw

    I think the time under which white guilt could be used has passed and that we have learned that we must rule or the primitive peoples will just return us to their levels of barbarism.

    Riveting. Awhile back I passed on @curtdoolittle thought that #Qanon is a “medium.” This piece fits in with that, from a different angle. https://t.co/7i7hNIpPj6

  • Agency: Yes Some People Are More ‘Human’ and Less ‘Animal’ than Others

    —“By that you mean some people are not human( morality or physiology)?”— Natty Kanya Just as children do not have the self-control of adults, many adults lack the self control of others. While we may learn self control of our bodies. We may learn self control of our emotions. We may NOT learn self control of our thoughts. We use the term ‘Agency’ to describe independence of our thoughts from physical and emotional impulses, from the bias of our intuitions, and from the bias of our thoughts. In this sense, some people are fully human (they have developed agency) or they are not fully human (they have not developed agency) and are still ‘animals’.

  • Witch Trials Were a Function of The Reformation’s Wars of Religion

    Yes, this is also is my understanding as long as we also take into account that ritual sacrifice was ancestral, killing scolds, harlots, non conformists, mischief makers, and thieves by casting them as possessed or a witch was ancestral, hanging was aggressive during the period, and the church simply ‘made use of’ the technique just as the church always had made use of whatever it could. —“A paper published in the August edition of the Economic Journal casts doubt on both theories. Peter Leeson and Jacob Russ, also of George Mason University, collected data for witch trials from 21 countries between 1300 and 1850, in which 43,240 people were prosecuted. They found that the weather had a statistically insignificant impact on the occurrence of witch trials. The impact of negative income shocks or governmental capacity was also very weak.When Mr Leeson and Mr Russ compared their witch-trial data to the timing and location of over 400 battles between Christian denominations, they found a much closer link. Where there was more conflict between Catholics and Protestants (in Britain, between Anglicans and Presbyterians), witch trials were widespread; in places where one creed dominated there were fewer. The authors conclude that churches engaged in a sort of “non-price competition”, gaining converts in confessional battlegrounds by advertising their commitment to fighting evil by trying witches.”— The Economists via Marginal Revolution

    what you call spirituality I’ll call intuitionistic responses – and my understanding of spirituality is that the intuition must be trained just as the body and mind. It is possible to do so by multiple means and abrahamic lies are the worst possible means.
