  • Women Creating a Market for Male Virtues

    May 26, 2020, 11:29 PM by Michael Churchill Been thinking more about the concept that Christianity created a market for male virtue that was administered by women.

    • As Christianity became the dominant religion, men were bent into women’s moral frame. This became more pronounced with universal suffrage — and took another step-function higher with universal wealth beginning in the 1960s and 70s.

    • Thus today in wealthy countries the moral frame is almost completely dictated by women. Is that natural? It doesn’t seem so. Clearly it is un-competitive civilizationally, as reflected in plunging European birthrates (compared to Africa and Middle East in particular).

    • What REALLY was the moral frame in pre-Christian times. Women must have had a fair amount of moral sway in Rome, for instance. It was a very sophisticated place and women are the glue that holds communities together.

    • And … how “cool” was it to act psychopathically toward other people back in Roman times? Do we really know? If the man of the house was boinking the slave girl would his wife really have no say in the matter?

  • Counsel: Philosophy vs Sophism

    Oct 1, 2019, 11:55 AM Given any term, always use a series of at least 3 to 5 when analyzing propositions. I prefer 8 to 12 whenever I can get them, and english because it has so vast a vocabulary of working, governing, intellectual, logical, and scientific origins is extremely useful for creating constellations of constant relations whether in one series, or a competition between series we call ‘supply and demand curves’. Using series – which is what I teach – disambiguates and prevents errors of conflation when using ideal types and fallacies of construction such as ‘principles’. Example: Good < Moral < Ethical < Amoral > Unethical > Immoral > Evil constant relations: 1… change in capital whether positive, neutral, or negative 2… degree of intent, accidental, self interest, other interest 3… degree of informational distance between actors and victims (ethical interpersonal, moral inter social, evil both.) Most sophistry in philosophy consists of: 1… using ideal rather than serialized (enumerated) definitions; 2… using the verb to be (is are was were, be, being) rather than the means of existence; 3… conflating points of view between the observer, actor, and acted upon; 4… and failing to construct complete sentences in testimonial (promissory) grammar, using operational terms. You will find that this is one of the points of demarcation between pseudoscience, theology, philosophy, moralizing, and testimony (what we call science): disambiguation and operationalization into complete promissory sentences will rapidly demonstrate that almost all philosophical questions are sophisms. Witticisms. Nonsense. Puzzles. Riddles. But nothing more. ORIGINS Mathematics has only one constant relation (position) consisting of a single ratio, which provides scale independence, and cost independence which produces fully deterministic and testable descriptions. Yet philosophers since the time of the greeks have be trying to imitate it’s utility to no avail, and instead, have created textual and verbal interpretation under the premise the the triviality of one-dimensional positional logic can provide the same utility in deduction and prediction (induction) as the constant relations of mathematics. Animism > Readings (Divination) > Astrology > Scriptural interpretation > Textual interpretation > legal interpretation > numerology > postmodern linguistic divination all constitute the same: finding what is not there as an appeal to an non-existent authority. The only peer to mathematics in language is serialization: lines that test the constant relations between points (terms), and supply demand curves that test the relationship between lines ( propositions.).

    Numeric (ideal, verbal, aggregates), vs Spatial (real, measurements, components).This is a reference to the Foundations Course on the geometry of thought on one hand and a reminder that descartes restored greek thought in math (geometry) from it’s infection by semitic(astrology).

  • Anti-Statism. Is that Correct? I Don”t Think So.

    Oct 6, 2019, 7:23 AM Hmmm … This is an angle I haven’t worked on enough, which is disambiguating the state (assets and bureaucracy), government (leadership), authority (rule of law and market polity vs authority and directed polity). Because it’s not whether we have a state or government or authority but whether we have rule of law or arbitrary rule (Rule by discretion). Plato’s vision and Sparta’s vision were different only in details. Fundamentally, in both, the majority ‘unwashed’ needed rule. The church the same. The feudal fiefs the same (true). In the monarchies the people only needed order because the middle class had begun to evolve and commerce creates order by incentives thereby eliminating the need for intervention by rulers. The enlightenment sought a majority middle class where all of us were governed by incentives in the market. The industrial revolution tried to reverse it, under Marx putting labor in position of authority rather than the market, and the vast increase in the underclasses continued that expansion. So when we say we are anti-state, or anti-governmnet this isn’t really true. it’s that we need a state and need a government, sufficient to preserve the largest middle class (market participants) possible, with the optimum common possible. And the only way to do that is rule of law and eugenics. And eugenics requires either embodiment in law, or the unfettered consequences of the market. So embodiment in the law is preferable solution because it is a moral solution that trades non-reproduction, for subsidy.

  • The Conflict Between Democracy and Eugenics

    Oct 6, 2019, 12:34 PM The First Cause of Western Decline is the conflict between Democracy and Eugenics caused by the industrial revolution. The enemy may Lie and Deny reality, but Western people will not face the truth themselves: we outpaced the rest because our civilization has been eugenic since its founding, and survived the middle ages despite the Church’s attempt to reverse that dysgenia through maximizing reproduction. Contractualism, Manorialism, Law, Hanging, Plagues, Winter, War, and the Reformation achieved what the church fought against, and what Women and the Left fight against today, and what the Left weaponizes against western civilization: dysgenia destroys what the west has made.
