    NIETZSCHE, RAND, MARX, AND THE ADOLESCENT RIGHT

    There are a lot of young men who are active on the right and they are all looking for an ideal to rally around because they lack the skill, sociability, talents, relationships, and resources to rally men by material outcomes.

    So I view fascination with Nietzsche like fascination with rand (or harry potter for that matter) as a necessary phase of young adulthood. A lack of maturity. And driven by a lack of sexual social economic and political market value.

    This small group of adolescent males otherwise unsuccessful in life due to lack of talent, skill, character, and resources, who attempt to persuade me to justify their urges for dominance that they cannot achieve in real life. And I won’t. Men will revolt and act on change not because some microscopic group of social malcontents want justification for their failure of market value, but because the social, economic, and political change is achievable by implementation of institutional change.

    Teaching young men on the internet is a bit like running a class in a fourth grade locker room. I assume however that these men will eventually own homes, have children, find gainful employment or run businesses and at that point grow from reading moral fictionalism to reading balance sheets, contracts, constitutions, and papers on business, economics, engineering and science.

    There is no difference between Marxists, Randians and Nietzscheans other than the degree of desperation and unsatisfied aggression.

    Rulers use law. Because they have the power to. Because the organized incentives of enough men to apply force to obtain that power.

    NIETZSCHE VS DOOLITTLE : Critique vs Science. Value vs Truth. Inspiration vs Institutions.

    I need to address this issue again for the little boys in the audience.

    What I take from Nietzsche is his attack on supernaturalism, and submission, and his attempt to restore classicism – which is also what I am also trying to do: discover our origins (I have), and solve the institutional problem (i think I have) of restoring them.

    Nietzsche created a Critique of semitic religion, and tried to articulate and express the ethic of the classical tradition (heroism, the dominance of man over nature) but was unable to solve the problem of how – just as many post-darwinist were. Unfortunately the abrahamists have nearly won again with marxism, feminism, and postmodernism. And they have won by continuing his technique: abrahamic critique.

    —“Nietzsche’s thought after Hegel was to incorporate Evolution and to reverse everything possible in prior thinkers. So he reverses Hegel by searching for a way for the Noble to have self-consciousness. He reverses Schopenhauer by attempting to be positive about life and its prospects. He reverses Wagner by rejecting the Christianization of the Pagan mythologies. Of course he then reverses many long held beliefs that were unquestioned within the western worldview such as the necessity to kow tow to Christianity as a religious belief system. … So basically Nietzsche went after as many Sacred Cows of the European tradition as he could”— Kent Palmer

    I systematically attack all our sacred cows and falsehoods – just as he did. Not for VALUE but for TRUTH. I look for everything FALSE not everything we VALUE. However, I attempt to restore classicism through formal INSTITUTIONS rather than the usual german sophomoric philosophy that is little other than a desperate attempt to restore the ‘woo’

    of christian submission by rational sophistry rather than supernatural sophistry.

    As for ‘spirit’ I see nietzsche’s ‘spirit’ as a choice, and an individual choice, not a truth,or a political movement, or an institutional solution – and I see nietzsche as having failed to discover a solution. And worse, I find his silly german ‘suffering'(struggling) abhorrent – the voice of the weak. The strong do not struggle they just do.

    Nietzsche was prescient precisely because he FAILED. As did all german thinkers – desperate provincial romanticists appealing to the heartstrings of the pubescent.

    I see nietzsche as ‘weak’. A polemicist. Like say, Rand, he is a gateway that gives you permission to abandon traditional religion, just as rand is a gateway to abandon traditional political ethics. But they are … childish … works by childish people. Which is fine, because we all work at some level of sophistication available to us at our own stage of maturity.

    Nietzsche’s rant against his status who is nothing more than what all adolescent men do: express their identities and autonomy as unbound by parental debts, when they reach some level of agency.

    But in the end, he just was an insightful polemicists that failed to provide a solution other than infinite skepticism and a return to a celebration of life. A pair of sentiments otherwise politically inactionable.

    Nietzsche practiced critique: he remained an abrahamist. He offered us nothing to supplant the past. And understood the classical civilization only in silly germanic romantic and literary terms – rather than the tedious administration of half domesticated man by the use of military, law, bureaucracy, commerce, and education.

    Rome was the adult that athens matured into.

    We are only now, right now, restoring the state of development at which rome fell.

    We rarely act until we must, and when we must it is merely more expensive than having acted when we could. Hence the problem of democracy: acting only when we must on that which we can, and acting when we can on that which we must not.

  • AGENCY IS NECESSARY FOR SOVEREIGNTY: OUR NEXT GREAT ENTERPRISE Agency is necessa

    AGENCY IS NECESSARY FOR SOVEREIGNTY: OUR NEXT GREAT ENTERPRISE

    Agency is necessary for sovereignty otherwise one cannot self insure. If you cannot self insure then others must insure you out of self defense. If others must insure you then you are dependent upon them as a child upon a parent. You are not sovereign agent, and cannot reciprocally insure those with agency – and you especially cannot insure them against yourself.

    Western civilization specialized in the continuous production of agency. We emphasize sovereignty. But sovereignty is something we grant one another through reciprocity. Agency over the self exists or it doesn’t – independent of others.

    Stoicism attempts to produce agency. All other religions do not – they produce avoidance or escapism – with shintoism the closest peer looking backward rather than forward, and the original Buddhism the closest ambition – mindfulness but not agency. And Buddhism does not maintain the western charter demanding heroism, and speaking truth regardless of the consequences to the dominance (competence) hierarchy.

    If you master Propertarianism (natural law) you will have intellectual agency – all human experience is then explicable in operational terms, and the world coherent and comprehensible. If you master stoicism (self authoring) then you will develop intuitionistic and emotional agency. If you maintain diet and physical fitness – particularly team sports – you will develop physical agency. If you exchange sovereignty with others who do the same, then you will be sovereign.

    Rome had almost completed the development of a new religion when the Abrahamists worked diligently to undermine the great aristocratic civilizations.

    The lesson of Constantine is never let anyone other than a member of a noble family that has retained noble status in marriage hold office – ever.

    The lesson of the Abrahamic revolt against civilization, is that we must suppress all forms of supernaturalism, sophisms (pseudoratioalism), and pseudosciences. And the only way to do that is the use of the LAW: the organized use of force to suppress imposition of costs upon the private and common, existential and informational, by using the courts as a market for truth, thereby empowering all people to suppress falsehoods.

    Which leads us to our charter:

    —“Europeans do not know how to live unless they are engaged in some great enterprise. When this is lacking, they grow petty and feeble and their souls disintegrate.”—José Ortega y Gasset, Spanish Philosopher

    This is our next great enterprise. To rid humanity of the abrahamic falsehoods wither they be supernatural, sophistry, or pseudoscience.

    We have incrementally suppressed the evil in mankind by forcible domestication of genes and behavior in the ancient world and in the modern.

    The revolt against us in the ancient world brought about a dark age – we were far too tolerant.

    The abrahamic revolt against us in the modern world using collectivist pseudoscience and postmodern sophism, and the systematic use of pilpul and critique in the reputation destruction of our great civilization – a civilization that has dragged humanity out of ignorance, superstition, poverty, starvation, hard labor, disease, suffering, child mortality, early death, and the vicissitudes of nature. This revolt against civilization, has not yet been stopped – we have been too tolerant.

    The most intolerant wins.

    We must rule by our law, out of self defense, and drag mankind kicking and screaming once again into transcendence of the gods we may yet be, in a universe hostile to all but gods.

    Transcendence by Agency, Sovereignty, Reciprocity, Truth, Duty, Markets in Everything: the continuous calculation of our ascent into godhood.

    AGENCY: YES SOME PEOPLE ARE MORE ‘HUMAN’ AND LESS ‘ANIMAL’ THAN OTHERS

    —“By that you mean some people are not human( morality or physiology)?”— Natty Kanya

    Just as children do not have the self-control of adults, many adults lack the self control of others. While we may learn self control of our bodies. We may learn self control of our emotions. We may NOT learn self control of our thoughts. We use the term ‘Agency’ to describe independence of our thoughts from physical and emotional impulses, from the bias of our intuitions, and from the bias of our thoughts. In this sense, some people are fully human (they have developed agency) or they are not fully human (they have not developed agency) and are still ‘animals’.

    —“Issuing guaranteed loans that can never be discharged to the cognitively deficient, mass producing baristas with $100k degrees, has effectively created a serf class out of what could have been productive lower middle-middle class workers with apprenticeships and vocational preparation. If that’s not moral hazard I’m not sure what is.”—Joseph Smith
