  • My Work Is Not Done? A Cure But Not A Cause?

    [W]ell, I guess I’m not done. Macdonald and Duchesne explain what happened, who did it, and how they did it, even why they did it. But neither of them explain why we were vulnerable to it, other than we are less group-ish than other peoples with higher trust, (probably because of outbreeding.) So our outbreeding created trust, which allowed us to be invaded by people who were not honest, did not practice trust, practiced parasitism, In other words, is an aggressive parasitic people more successful than a high trust outbred productive people? Yes?

  • OK, so aside from possessing an inspirational wit and talent with words, Eli Har

    OK, so aside from possessing an inspirational wit and talent with words, Eli Harman is a very good looking, giant of a man. Gotta get a photographer to do some pro headshots of this guy, and start converting his little bits of genius into Memes. You’re marketable. The market wants your product. Brand building big guy. 🙂 Love you man.

    —Liberty will win because it is the most robust sort of authoritarianism.–

    —You can kill a king, you can kill a dictator, you can subvert a democracy. But against millions of free people, each possessing the means to end you when they wish, what can you do? Only lie. And only so long as they let you.—

    —It used to be said that “a policeman beats within every Prussian breast.” This is something to aim for, something, indeed, to surpass.—

    —The US is an empire of lies. Everything about it is a lie. The Constitution is a lie. The politicians are liars. The bureaucrats and functionaries are liars. The cops are liars. The “laws” are lies. The judges are liars. The lobbyists are liars. The intellectuals are liars. The media are liars. The diplomats are liars. The intelligence apparatus is a bunch of the biggest liars of all. It’s time for a hot truth injection, and the truth comes in many calibers.—

    —“The job of our elite is to identify lies and punish liars. Unfortunately, they’ve joined in. Now we must punish our elites.”—

    —“But, that’s just a social construct!” “No, it’s my nature. My nature is to prefer the social constructs that work to the ones that don’t work.”—

    —In the west, we have high-trust societies. Trust is a form of credit. To extend trust is to extend credit. Either can be abused. In either case, there is risk. No credit is bad credit. If you wish to live in a high-trust society then it is reasonable to ask whether you have established your trustworthiness and how. If you have not, it would be reasonable to insist that you post a bond. If your word is your bond, great. But if (for whatever reason) your word is not enough, then you’d better front cash.—

    —I can’t imagine a surer recipe for misery then going through life expecting it to be fair.—

    THE BRITS WERE RIGHT, STILL ARE, EVEN IF THEY”VE ABANDONED REALITY.

    Except for writing down the constitution in explicit terms (a project that still would be valuable), and giving the proletariat its own house rather than handing over the house of commons, and not ‘really’ preserving the monarch’s right of veto, the british system was superior to the american system in every possible way.

    The parliamentary system as they conduct it is superior on so many levels, not the least of which is that we could get rid of an Obama today more easily. The use of Barrister’s and Solicitors is something I would never have thought of but certainly produces better process. And it is easier to hold policy across multiple governments. The one thing I feel strongly about is that the military must be its own branch of government, with written constitutional obligations and limits, rather than commanded by the government. (and when I say military, I mean it in my terms, not extant american terms.)

  • IF ONLY MEN DID NOT LIE I see two constant themes of late when I try to discuss

    IF ONLY MEN DID NOT LIE

    I see two constant themes of late when I try to discuss truth:

    (a) conflation of testimony to one’s knowledge (Speaking Truthfully) and description of correspondence(Truth)

    (b) the false assumption that most people are not only justifying, but are in fact lying. It is one thing for the philosophy of science to correct errors, but I am not so interested in correcting errors as I am deceptions and thefts. CR does not address this issue. Construction does. Which is why scientists who are honest publish their methods and their data and those that are not honest do not.

    Germans vs Anglo Americans.

    I have no superior to consult, no permission to seek, no hierarchy to follow, no role to play, no duty to perform, and no respect to pay but to the truth itself. Germans are soldiers and anglo americans warriors. We have only peers. We fight our own battles.

    This is extremely frustrating for them. We have no idea what they are frustrated about. 🙂
