    ARTISTIC AGENCY

    by Michael Churchill

    Homogeneity may be a red herring. The larger issue behind the boredom is the loss of “artistic agency.”

    It’s so easy to get passively entertained that we have lost the ability to make art on a man-by-man basis — real music, neighborhood plays, etc.

    In Kentucky where the spirit of actual neighborhood music gatherings is still alive … wow … when you stumble across it it is very powerful to see.

    Anyway, this is an excellence that can be cultivated personally.

    That was something I got from Evola btw — if the culture around us feels like it sucks … like it’s aimed at a lower level of sophistication — then what are WE PERSONALLY doing to elevate it?

    Centralization is achieved by suppression of local parasitism and rents, and levying taxation instead, that is used for that suppression. This drastically reduces transaction costs and associated risks, which in turn produces volume and velocity. The problem of taxation arises when it is not used for the purpose of suppressing local parasitism and rents and instead simply centralizes parasitism and rents.

    You know, a homogenous polity can feel boring, and the cheap novelty of different peoples interesting, exciting and a learning experience. But it is one thing to import different peoples, and another to visit different peoples. And that is that we reward others by visiting, and impose costs upon others by staying.

    My grandmother, mother, me, my sister, daughter, and niece are so cognitively similar, despite being cognitively rare, that we might as well be clones. One of the problems of living outside of the same ‘village’ or ‘neighborhood’ is that we don’t realize it, and have to struggle through discovery and understanding of our rare cognitive processes alone. And while it’s probably true that we are extreme examples, the fact that we no longer have large families in each generation, or large cohabiting families across generations, leads to alienation for far too many of us – even those that are not outliers. I see a lot of lost people primarily because they are unsocialized and infantilized, and lack intergenerational families that have mastered the talents within their genes.

    Diversity? Never confuse vacation, and cooperation, with cohabitation.

    Life in the states is certainly much easier. Everything mostly works. Even if it’s rude. Life in Ukraine is harder, and many things don’t work well. But it’s more civilized, and far less rude.

    My view, is that I value my children as the best thing I did in life, but I consider myself a terrible (absent) parent. (Not that they haven’t turned out effectively perfect in my view.) And I have come to believe that it is best for that class of us that is truly ‘different’, is to either delay marriage until we have achieved our objectives, or avoid marriage and children and instead care for (support) our siblings and their children. And at present, if I could find a woman to have more children with, I would. I love them. But that is because my mind is in a state where I prefer them above all other things.

    I look forward to that time when Steinbeck and Dickens are grouped with Rousseau, Marx, Lenin, and Mao.
