    CLARIFICATION ON OUR ‘FAILURE’ TO EVOLVE TRUTH

    —“Curt, you’re wrong about the reason for the failure. It’s not an inability. It’s economics. Traditional / moral justification of behavior is massively cheaper (“computationally less expensive” for monkey brains) than thorough consideration (and due diligence) of all present options.

    It’s much easier to discount only “usual” paths of action in line with one’s ancestral moral biases (that lead to the same kind of outcomes one has always been able to expect) than to consider “unusual” paths with SCARY UNFORESEEN CONSEQUENCES.”— John Jost

    No, I get it. What I am saying that we failed to do is recognize the transition between human scale and intuitionistic cost, and post-human scale and critical costs.

    In other words, when we hit post-human scale in the industrial revolution, we obtained the benefits without paying the cost of increasing our truth tests from the intuitionistic and justificationary to the procedural and critical.

    But that’s a great way to put it. thx.

  • MIKE: (And all others who are interested) THE OLD RIGHT VS NEW RIGHT The Old Rig

    MIKE: (And all others who are interested)

    THE OLD RIGHT VS NEW RIGHT

    The Old Right was “It’s Hopeful If We Are Patient”, and the New Right is “It’s Hopeless”. The hopeful Right was a resistance movement hopeful that the leftists would ‘learn’. The New Right is a hopeless movement that is resigned to the inability others to adopt the contractual order we call ‘conservatism’, but is just the traditional western aristocratic order of cooperation between classes with different abilities.

    MORAL VERSUS SCIENTIFIC

    The Old Right of American conservatism evolved from the religio-moral language set (think of Kirk), and the Jeffersonian set (constitutionalists). But the conservatives never achieved success in articulating conservatism in rational or scientific language.

    We’ve endured a hundred and fifty years of pseudoscience (Freud/psychology, marx/economics-sociology, Boaz/anthropology, Frankfurt school/culture) combined with propaganda made possible with new media on a scale never seen before, combined with post war economic windfall and the conversion of upper proletarians and lower middle class into property owners with disposable income. Between government seeking votes, the academy seeking to sell nonsense-diplomas, and the media selling commercials, and the consumer product companies selling household goods to newly liquid families, the environment for falsehood was fertile ground.

    The New Right is armed with science and evidence that Darwin and Spencer (despite Spencer’s Lamarckian error his statements remain true). The old right didn’t have this evidence and our generation does.

    But we face a problem: the reason for the west’s dramatic success is largely that we were the most eugenic order and used upward redistribution of calories for upward redistribution of reproduction, and we use some combination of winters, manorialism, taxation, late marriage, aggressive hanging, and for-profit warfare to eradicate the lower classes for thousands of years.

    We call it meritocracy, the charitable call it ‘civilizing’, the honest call it ‘domesticating’, and the pejorative term is ‘human husbandry’: culling the unproductive humans from the herd, and leaving only the productive humans behind to reproduce.

    The underclasses of course think they were oppressed. They can’t imagine that they’re uncivilized, and that by breeding they’re decivilizing. And we aren’t honest about it, because it interferes with our narrative that we were justified in using democracy (we weren’t) to seize power from the landed nobility.

    THE NEW RIGHT MOVEMENTS CORRESPOND TO CLASS STRUCTURES

    The New Right consists of multiple frames of argument that correspond to class structures. Just like neocons, libertine libertarians, and socialists on the left, the New Right consists of multiple frames of arguments that correspond to class membership:

    CLASSES:

    NEW RIGHT (Philosophy/NaturalLaw) (Unrepentant Martial/Aristocratic Class)

    – Propertarianism (That’s me)

    – Ricardo Duchesne ( the uniqueness of Western Civilization)

    THE SCIENTIFIC RIGHT (Science) (Scholarly Class)

    – HBD-Chick (familism, groupishness, genetics)

    – Jayman – Genetics, Race, class

    – Sailer – IQ, race, class, education culture

    – Nassim Taleb – Finance, Economics, and Decidability.

    – Kevin McDonald – group competitive strategies

    THE INFORMATIVE RIGHT (Information) (upper middle class)

    – Stephan Molyneux (slow conversion on his part but he’s getting there)

    – Tom Woods (even slower conversion but he’s getting there)

    – Charles Murray ( I can’t tell with charles where he is on hopeless/hopeful)

    – Thomas Sowell (was a first mover really)

    REACTION (criticism) (middle class)

    – Moldbug

    – Ramzpaul

    ALT-RIGHT (ridicule) (working class) (these folk know exactly what they’re doing by the way. They have adopted leftist ridicule and are actively manufacturing desensitization as a means of combating the flasehoods and pseudoscience of political correctness)

    – Various alt-right podcasts and web sites

    – Meme-Makers and Trolls

    THE ALT-RIGHT “OVEN MIT” CROWD (Upper Lower working)

    – 88’ers, anti-everyone’s, white nationalists, etc.

  • Q&A: CURT: AND SOCIAL CAPITAL IN EUROPE? —“Would you also say, sir, that Europ

    Q&A: CURT: AND SOCIAL CAPITAL IN EUROPE?

    —“Would you also say, sir, that Europe’s Scientific and industrial Revolutions were the result of this high trust/social capital, as opposed to the prevailing narrative that colonialism = industrial/scientific revolution? It’s always been a theory of mine that social capital is what allowed Europe and Western Civilization to accelerate ahead of other Civs, which runs contrary to the Guns, Germs and Steel narrative”—

    Well, the tradition was there in the 700’s when the Friesians started immigrating to land in England. And by 1200’s Bacon had studied this contractualism and invented empiricism. And starting about the same time they started aggressively hanging vast numbers of troublemakers, and restoring the trade that would become the Hansa (Germanic) civilization.

    So my view is that the colonial expansion ARRESTED the growth of germanic north sea civilization, and that while there was amazing wealth generated in England, France, holland, Spain, and Portugal by this switch from north sea to Atlantic, that the reason for the division between germanic and English civilizations that culminated in the world wars, was this catastrophe we call colonialism.

    Now, Americans speak English, but we separated from England before England split from germanic civilization. The majority of American whites are from germanic decent. And the majority of anglo whites are from pre-Germanic split. So that is why we have the language of the English and a culture more Prussian-like the germans.

    And in my opinion, from what I’ve seen throughout history, as far as I can tell, the industrial revolution would have occurred in northern Europe just as it nearly occurred in Athens. England blew up just like Athens for the same reason – overreach.

    If you have an empirical society, with enough literacy, and enough cultural capital, you will eventually produce innovations, since there is no opportunity to survive and compete by parasitism.

    In other words, if we create rule of law we will continue to evolve. We have no choice. It’s the societies that dont create incremental suppression through natural law that stagnate.

    Becuase it is too easy to develop stagnating-corruption and parasitism.

    Q&A: MR DOOLITTLE: QUESTION ABOUT ECONOMIC ORDERS

    —“Can you please elaborate on this “Once cheap labor stops, and marginal differences in knowledge are exhausted, what remains is a nation’s ability to dynamically reorganize production in real time, and to competitively innovate in real time.”

    Are you saying that productivity and innovation are not dependent on a nation’s wealth, size or population, but instead on how it organizes its existing resources to achieve maximum output? Basically, higher social capital = better long term growth and innovation?”—

    Yes. Thank you, I don’t think of putting it that way. But for example, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, are small countries with small populations. But they are homogenous germanic peoples with high trust polities. This trust is just like having oil, gold, great farmland, or any other local asset. It’s an economic advantage.

    So all resources being equal, the competitive difference between societies would be determined by the absence of corruption and the presence of rule of law.

    The conflict generally comes with the tradeoff between military, trade, and credit capacity at scale, and ability to suppress corruption and tailor law, policy, and norms to the needs of local groups.
