YOUR POVERTY AND YOUR LACK OF AGENCY You’re poor because you lack Agency sure. But you know, even if we remove obstructive institutions, and even if we create institutions to invest in overcoming your initial circumstance, we are still stuck with the fact that we cannot change YOU, and that YOU can lack Agency for your own informational, intellectual, emotional, or physical reasons. We know for certain that you cannot tell if you are able or not. We don’t like to choose whether you are able or not – we can err. All we can do is invest in eliminating impediments so that you can DEMONSTRATE whether you possess agency and ability – or not. Anyone who tells you more money will matter is simply lying to you. You’re poor because you lack Agency, because you or your parents or your ancestors have lacked intellectual, emotional, or physical ABILITY as well as informational (ignorance) or institutional impediment.

Western Civilization and “Skin in The Game”
Your narrative is exceptional – as wisdom. But wisdom cannot be converted into law unless in a formal, deflationary argument. The west differs from the east. We never conflated law with other fields. And the skin of the loan IN put = the warranty OUT put. High trust civilization (the west) could use warranty rather than skin. So what happened that the west stopped demanding warranty? Without low trust SKIN IN -or- high trust WARRANTY OUT, western civ kept high trust population but low trust economics and policy. Now, if the west relied upon high trust warranty, how could we rely once again on high trust, or must we move to low trust Skin? When you discuss cultural deltas I hear (a) levantine low trust with (b) mathematical and literary platonism. Not Natural Law.

Sovereignty vs Servility
SOVEREIGNTY VERSUS SERVILITY One can hire an administrator of contracts. If that’s what you mean by ‘governor’ then that kind of “government” is something I am comfortable with. But I won’t give up my Sovereignty (My “rights as an anglo saxon”) in the choice of contracts I will prefer to pay for; which choices of contracts I prefer not to pay for; and which choice of contracts I will not tolerate. This is the difference between Sovereigns investing in Commons (Anglo Saxons) by vote and hiring project managers, and Subjects choosing their rulers by vote, who will then choose the commons they produce for those who chose them. We have had our rights for thousands of years. It took those thousands of years to preserve them. It took those thousands of years to capture them in draft form the US Constitution. And today we can capture them perfectly in a new one. So will you choose the Sovereignty of the Warrior, or the Servility of a Subject?

The Past Superstition vs Present Pseudoscience. (Fictionalisms)
….I think the problem is that the past was honest but justified it supernaturally, because the promise of reward was after death. Whereas the present is dishonest and justified pseudo-scientifically and promised if we can reach a socialist utopia or some variation thereof. The medieval order was hierarchical and honest. The only false promise was after death. We live in a world of loneliness and lies….

Why Has Curt’s Tone Changed
WHY HAS CURT’S TONE CHANGED? —“I don’t know if it’s just me but your tone and presentation (I almost said style, but that’s not it) have changed dramatically in the last week or so from what I observed as dramatically consistent for the last few months since I started following you.”—Daniel Anderson You know, I have very low self awareness which is why I think about it in order to try to. Me, I don’t notice much other than it’s harder or easier to make arguments and write code. lol I work around the clock and that’s it. I think, if you will forgive me for over-sharing, that I while I don’t ever feel ‘depressed’ in any material sense, that I was having some sort of depression from the stress of the past two years, and I think I must have gotten over it at the end of last month, and I can see it in my writing and in my code. My subconscious is less exhausted and frustrated. And I have room for empathy where I had no emotional reserves before then. So I can write with a bit of feeling now. I think that’s what you and others are noticing.
