LESSONS FROM THE GULAG
3. I realized that friendship, comradeship, would never arise in really difficult, life-threatening conditions. Friendship arises in difficult but bearable conditions (in the hospital, but not at the pit face).
4. I realized that the feeling a man preserves longest is anger. There is only enough flesh on a hungry man for anger: everything else leaves him indifferent.
6. I realized that humans were human because they were physically stronger and clung to life more than any other animal: no horse can survive work in the Far North.
7. I saw that the only group of people able to preserve a minimum of humanity in conditions of starvation and abuse were the religious believers, the sectarians (almost all of them), and most priests.
8. Party workers and the military are the first to fall apart and do so most easily.
9. I saw what a weighty argument for the intellectual is the most ordinary slap in the face.

RELIGION IS A POOR SUBSTITUTE FOR THE HUNT
All religion is poor substitute for the initiatic brotherhood of warriors, their hunt, the feast that results, and the thanks of all for it. There is no greater promise than the oath. No greater mindfulness than the hunt. No greater bond than the with those with whom we fight and kill. No greater thrill than winning (Killing). No greater social experience than the feast. No greater thanks than for the feast.
Pity the weak their substitutes.

NOTE HOW THESE CATEGORIES (DISCIPLINES) DIFFER FROM ARISTOTLE’S – TRADITIONAL PHILOSOPHY
Note the order, and the pairings.
1 – Psychology : Acquisitionism(restating psychology as acquisition)
1 – Aesthetics : Aesthetics (a scientific restatement of aesthetics)
2 – Metaphysics : Vitruvianism: Man as the Measure (actions determine categories)
2 – Grammars: Grammars of Measurement (restating language as a set of grammars of continuous recursive measurements.)
3 – Epistemology : Testimonialism (completing the scientific method and uniting all the sciences)
3 – Truth : Testimonial Truth (an extension of performative truth)
4 – Ethics : Propertarianism (an extension of the ethics of property)
4 – Law : The Natural Law of Reciprocity of Sovereign Men.
5 – Sociology : Division of Perception, Cognition, Knowledge, Labor, and Advocacy.
5 – Politics : Markets in Everything, Market Government: Ending Monopoly Production of Commons
6 -Group Evolutionary Strategies : Those that do and do not converge on Meritocracy, Eugenic Evolution, and Reciprocity.

THERE IS ONLY ONE MOST PARSIMONIOUS DESCRIPTION AND ONLY MEN ARE WILLING TO SPEAK IT
There are an infinite number of fictions we can fabricate. There is only one most parsimonious description.
As far as I know a god is a fictional character. A demigod is a fictional character. A hero is a fictional character. And archetypal measurements are the easiest for man to employ.
I leave Pilpul, Critique and the Fictionalisms for Women and Abrahamists. Truth is the weapon of men for a reason, and lies the weapon of those who are not men for a reason.
Men Truth, Duty, Sovereignty, Reciprocity, and Markets of Meritocracy.
All else is for those who are not men, but animal.

(STUFF I LEARNED: The night before the event, park a few cars along the route with trunks full of cheap basic weapons (bats, clubs, molotovs). Old used cars can be bought from private sellers the day before for a few hundred dollars. These are $1k investments. Throw molotovs BEHIND the opponents and then attack with clubs. Most groups contain a small number of men able to fight. The rest will run.)
