    UNDERSTANDING CALIFORNIAN STATISM

    California. A very desirable geography. The best other than France.

    In both cases the geography is a natural resource exploitable by the state.

    As I said to Ron Manners: natural resources make you a slave because States must defend them.

    Diasporic peoples avoid these high costs at the expense of permanent insecurity.

    The golden mean (happy median) is Liberty – prevention of the state while also holding land.

    Only landed people create monuments and art.

    Europe is a vast, open air museum.

    Gender and Class Distributions: Outliers do not help us with general rules, they only tell us not to erect barriers. Distributions tell us general rules. You cannot construct a civilization out of outliers. That is a contradiction in terms.

    Yeah. I get now why westerners are good judges, advertisers, salesmen, and craftsmen, and why slavs and particularly Russians are such good engineers and mathematicians and chess players, but not really very good scientists.

    Catholics also make better philosophers than protestants. For similar reasons.

    Metaphysics matters. And Metaphysics is determined by your perception of relations with man. We extrapolate that to the physical world because we cannot escape our biases.

    I have been struggling with this forever.

    MALE AND FEMALE DIVISION OF LABOR

    History: women make children and women. Men make men. Women think as they do in order to make children and women. Men think as they do to make men. Women craft human material. Men craft civilization. It’s genetic. We can get SOME women to craft civilization also, just as we can get some men to raise children. But in the main, as a general rule, women and men divide genetic labor. And nothing will change that – ever.

    MY ‘BOSSES’ IN THE EVOLUTION OF PROPERTARIANISM

    You know it’s funny but Propertarianism is no longer a solo effort. I have a manager, an editor, and multiple advisors, helpful critics, and in some cases, people who are better than I am at USING propertarianism. And it feels a little bit like I’m an engineer on a project trying to create infrastructure.

    🙂

    PROPERTARIANISM: WE TOOK THE FAMILY FOR GRANTED

    We spend all this time, text and talk on the individual, women, government and economy. But we took the structure of reproduction for granted.

    We compete, using 1) the structure of tribal competition, 2) the structure of reproduction, 3) structure of pedagogy, 4) structure of production, and 5) structure of commons.

    Liberalism has been nothing more than an exercise in hedonistic consumption at the expense of the civilization that made that consumption possible. We destroyed the family. And with it, our civilization.

    It’s solvable. But it’s going to require blood and treasure to do it.

    STARVE THE CATHEDRAL

    The Cathedral is, without question, a religion – so we must separate church and state. Right? Easy. Imagine what happens to universities if they must be paid out of future earnings by graduates, just as income taxes are paid out of future earnings by graduates?

    Starve the beast.
