    MORE ON THE TEN COMMANDMENTS(lower class), NATURAL LAW(middle class), AND TRUTH, GOODNESS, AND BEAUTY(aristocracy): OUR POLYTHEISM, ISN”T.

    We could also state the prohibitions in the ten commandments and natural law, as demands: truth, goodness, beauty.

    Again we see that Athens speaks to middle and upper classes while Jerusalem/Memphis/Babylon speaks to women and slaves.

    But b/c men are unequal perhaps we need to know both sides of the coin: the negative prohibitions and the positive demands.

    This is not so much polytheism as reminding each class of its priorities. The poor may not make commons but cannot harm.

    And the wealthy need not so much avoid harm as fail to construct commons, rather than engage in hyperconsumption.

    (Thank you for the opportunity to go through this subject since it’s so terribly important for all of us.)

    MORE ON THE GREAT SHIFT

    Haidt provided causal relation btw enlightenment Natural Law and contemporary natural law

    Political compromise btw gender/class moved from in-family to houses of govt.

    The problem then is monopoly majoritarianism instead of houses for classes: trades.

    But families in post-agrarian economies are unequal insurers of last resort

    Ironically perhaps: individualism destroyed the possibility of expanding democracy.

    Albeit this is too causally dense an explanation for communication via twitter.

  • LESSONS FROM TURKEY Like I said, you can’t lie to your troops, or to your people

    LESSONS FROM TURKEY

    Like I said, you can’t lie to your troops, or to your people (for long) in the information age.

    Men moral enough to follow orders reliably, must have moral license to take control and dispense violence.

    Therefore you need (a) to create intolerable conditions mandating action, (b) provide a solution for people to demand. (c) ask the military to impose them.

    A few weeks ago I would have said legalise drugs and don’t make the mistake of the drug war in America.

    Now I think, is this the domestication and suppression of the underclass which gave rise to the west?

    Proximity decreases opportunity costs. We can also argue that as a consequence of reduced opportunity costs we can create opportunities otherwise impossible.

    And as a consequence we compete to discover and homestead those opportunities.

    We make this density possibly by the high cost of forgoing opportunities for imposing costs. Thereby preserving cooperation despite an equal decrease in the opportunity for parasitism. As such we exchange the increased cost of forgoing opportunity for parasitism for the decreased costs of opportunity for homesteading opportunities.

    This concept is missing from the literature.

    We focus too much upon money that provides numerous additional discounts. And we focus too little operationally on the creation of conditions that make trade and money possible.

    This oversight is related to the other errors of the enlightenment

    (wishful thinking)

    Maybe the brits will get smart, make use of the royalty asset, and make a play to re-lead the anglosphere, of UK, CA, USA, AUS, NZ, GIB…. You know? Reform the UN? Take some leadership away from the USA?

    USA 320M, UK 65M, CA 40M, AUS 23M, NZ 4.5M

    That’s 450M people.

    I know. I know….
