(b) Aristotle and the Fall of the Empire remind us that Morality and impulse are obstacles to survival. (b) Machiavelli reminds the civil that morality and impulses are obstacles to survival. (c) Darwin, Spencer, and Nietzsche remind the civil that morality and impulses are obstacles to survival. (e) I”m reminding you, in scientific prose, that that morality and impulses are obstacles to survival. Safety Breeds Folly.

Aspie: It’s Like Complaining that Superman Can Fly.
November 5th, 2018 7:06 AM
Yeah. I always think it’s hysterical when someone uses the aspie, spectrum, autist criticism against me. It’s like complaining that superman can fly. Aspieness (or at least those of us on the borderline) is a Superpower. It sucks when you’re young, but as you mature it’s god’s gift for information processing in a world where we are paid for information processing. (via @[100003211756374:2048:Adam J. Meek] )

A Decade of Context
November 6th, 2018 8:26 AM A DECADE OF CONTEXT [S]ee, what you didn’t understand (and I did) is that you get women into a movement by solving the religion question, so that they have a better herd to join, under protection of a better pack, both conveying better safety and better signals, at lower conflict and lower risk. The other thing you didn’t understand is that this century of revolution provided an opportunity to identify and divest ourselves (our people) of defectors, the defective, and the undesirable. We do not want all, we want only those who are not harmful to us. So, I solved for TRUTH. Truth is our group strategy. It is the ultimate group strategy, because it provides optimum commons, which produces optimum VELOCITY, which provides optimum Maneuver, which provides optimum adaptation and innovation. Truth resulted in Ethnocentrism, Nationalism, Sovereignty, Reciprocity, Truth, Duty, The Court-Judge-Jury, and markets in everything, and education in the methods of truth and deceit, the history of our people, of this earth, of this universe, and our transcendence into rulers of it all – leaving all others BEHIND. They fear being left behind. SO WORK TO LEAVE THEM BEHIND: RULE FOR TRANSCENDENCE. TRUTH IS ENOUGH. Quod Erat Demonstrandum.

The End Result
November 5th, 2018 9:20 AM THE END RESULT. [Y]ou see, I started at the very lowest possible level, and eliminated falsehood at every single incremental stage of complexity, and ended up with aesthetics religion and education last. It produces a single coherent, consistent, correspondent, existential, complete, system of thought from the subatomic world to the rational, calculative, and computational – and from Metaphysics, to Epistemology, to Psychology, to Ethics, to Sociology, to the Law, to Politics, to Group Strategy, to religion education and aesthetics. What narrative one produces to ‘teach’ unders that system of thought is constrained only by the same rules. Everyone wants the easy way out, which is to just ‘imagine’ from the top down. Truth is enough. The Natural Law is enough. A small number of revolutionaries are enough to impose the Law, that forces Truth, that causes the chain of consequences, that results in ethnocentrism, nationalism, sovereignty, reciprocity, truth, duty, rule of law, markets in everything, and transcendence of our people – and all others if they do the same – into the gods we imagine.

Not Just Separation of Church and State….
UM. NOT JUST SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE…. November 6th, 2018 1:36 PM One Tweak: Western Civilization has built in MARKETS in EVERYTHING, including family (morals), commerce (norms), state (law), academy(philosophy), and church (theology). Separation of CHURCH and STATE preceded christianity.

Reverse of Dimorphic Adaptation to Hide in Cover of The Herd
REVERSE OF DIMORPHIC ADAPTATION TO HIDE IN COVER OF THE HERD November 6th, 2018 1:21 PM [I] mean, if you’re the female of the species, with nesting urges, peacock (preening) urges, virtue signaling urges, solipsistic impulses to protect young, not ‘sticking out’ too far from the herd urges, but can ‘bait’ (moral hazard) males as means of obtaining resources for free or for mere attention then …, …. but what if you’re the male of the species but use the same strategy? You signal cooperation, but it’s all just baiting moral hazard? I mean. That’s their entire strategy right? They hide in the herd of females.

Evidence from Ukraine
(FB 1541697548 Timestamp) Roman trained groups in the woods in Ukraine on weekends and people paid, around $75 for it. He wrote the training plan for the ukrainian volunteers. It spread across the country in a few weeks. The State Dept asked him to stop. Men came out of the woodwork to fight. Especially from the western part of the country. They formed militias with different ‘philosophes’ (degrees of aggression really). They raided military depots, banks, hardware stores — everything for supplies. They paid for some of their own supplies. People organized donations to buy them others. Regular Military worked with them and sold arms. The Russians supplied arms, money, and heavy weapons – and intel. Men need simple basics. Most importantly not to shoot each other. But that said, military trains men to patrol and hold ground and doctrine for guerillas is the OPPOSITE. So it is easier to train the four basic disciplines of riflemen than it is to train groups to select, survey, plan, strike, and retreat as guerillas. What we saw in ukraine as small groups of men take initiative, without telling others what they were doing, and making those raids and returning with high kill counts, but always at the risk of friendly fire. But that is because the area of conflict in the Donbas is quite small. America is huge, and “Deplatforming Cities” (ie: ending their supply lines) and removing selected academics, media, public intellectuals, politicians, and bureaucrats, and keeping the cash machines empty, the power out, water off, data down, gasoline out, food out, requires local or roaming groups to operate very differently from foot soldiers. I understand how ISIS, the IRA and the Marxists did it. American’s wont follow the Arab Spring model. Heterogeneity prevents it. What we CAN count on is filling the streets. but as the IRA(small), marxists (medium), and ISIS (large), with arab spring (masses) all conducted their revolutions fairly consistently by making the territory ungovernable. All that is necessary is to generate demand for settlement on STATED TERMS where the terms burn the state, not the military or the people. This will happen principally because there are enough men who WANT it to happen.
