    Um. Evolution doesn’t have a choice but to practice Occam’s Razor. It doesn’t have the choice to waste energy.

    Personally I simply see one axis and three implementations: 1) reproductive strategy, 2) vocabulary, and 3) temporality.

    We all justify our reproductive strategies. Our reproductive strategy biases our temporal perception in the division of perception, cognition, negotiation, advocacy, and labor. Our Grammar expresses our negotiation in that division of perception that suits our reproductive strategy.

    We all need a portfolio of decidability. Our decidability is reducible to our reproductive strategy, compromised by our survival and operating strategy.

    I think the hard thing to imagine is the dream state (associating) action state (planning) spectrum. How action oriented or experience oriented we are. If you put that as a fourth criteria it would probably mirror the solipsistic autistic spectrum that mirrors the construction of female to male brains.

    Nature works with a very small number of rules that can be used to create compleity through vast permutation. As far as I know all human behavior consists of the prey drive, from which we evolved the mating drive, the cooperating drive is an extension of the mating drive, and the linguistic drive (order) is an outgrowth of the cooperating drive.

    “You must never ever ever generalize about Muslims on the basis of the behavior of some of them. But that’s precisely what you must do in the case of gun owners.” -Kenneth Allen Hopf

    In other words, a double standard is a violation of reciprocity and under natural law is a crime.

    BLADE RUNNER 2049 REVIEW

    Saw Blade Runner opening night. Just as I saw the original opening night. Proper (slow) pace. Long enough. I wish more movies were given this much screen time. Most of the time it’s a gorgeous feast for the eyes. But, the palette is diluted, it lacks the Gothic detail of the original’s Los Angeles. Too much was spent on effects and not enough on designing scenes, shots, and coaching the extras – it felt plastic. I really despise french cinema’s flat theatricality and I felt oppressed by it, despite the director’s partly successful attempt to invoke Kubrick. Some of the exterior sets feel like hack jobs (las vegas), and many feel more like a 70’s post-holocaust b-movies set (all the rest). Yes, we got some good sound. And … enough great acting. The Ford character was unnecessary and a distraction. Some very nice plot points. It needed a Shakespearean actor to play Leto’s role, there was too much nonsense chick-power – particularly from Hoek, whose talents are clearly there, but the end was just ridiculous. Most of all – and most frustrating was a total failure to fulfill the promise of the plot line – the last fifteen minutes are a total waste of time that emphasizes a minor plot point, but fails to bring the main plot to conclusion. Gonna put this up to another Ridley Scott failure despite Villeneuve’s directorial talents. It’s not the crash and burn of the Alien movies, and it’s worth the watch but I walked out feeling let down after all the promise that the main plot had set up. Scott needs to get out of the business.

    Cut the ford plot line and play out the Leto plot line and you have a movie that would be legendary. But shoe horning in ford was a disaster.

  • Everyone seeks an evolutionary strategy that increases their potential for the c

    Everyone seeks an evolutionary strategy that increases their potential for the consumption of opportunities. They do not seek truth. Some of us seek truth because it increases our potential for the consumption of opportunities. The difference is that some opportunities are physical, some reproductive, some material, some experiential, and some intellectual, and intellectuals prefer accumulating knowledge (power) as their preferred asset. Thankfully it is cheap, but time consuming.

    I don’t seek to convert. I seek to produce a product I can sell to people who want to increase their physical, reproductive, material, and experiential opportunities for acquisition. The intellectual reward is merely my compensation for producing that set of ideas. Hopefully a revolution comes from it. 😉

    https://vk.com/curtd?w=wall204954514_26From Curt Doolittle on VK.com http://VK.com

    Oliver Westcott Asks:

    —“Is Propertarianism a preference for liberty (property and markets in everything) under a system of natural law? (in which case it seems most of what you do is argue for natural law. Not Propertarianism per se.)

    Or, is Propertarianism the only way to sustain an order of natural law? Or both?

    Because it struck me Propertarianism is an ideology (nothing wrong with that necessarily, and in my view if it were an ideology, and if ideologies are necessary, then it’s the one I’d choose). Where as natural law is just science.”—

    The suite of ideas we call Propertarianism out of habit consist of

    The completion of the scientific method:

    Action (Metaphysics)

    Acqusitionism(Psychology),

    Propertarianism(ethics of cooperation),

    Compatibilism (sociology),

    Communication (grammars of negotiation),

    Testimonialism (Epistemology)

    Algorithmic Natural Law (Law)

    Market Commons (Politics)

    Group Evolutionary Strategy (Cooperativism)

    War (post cooperative strategy)

    Aesthetics (beauty)

    Of these, the principle insight is Testimonialism, which explains and completes the scientific method. I then applied the scientific method to every discipline from metaphysics to war and aesthetics.

    With this system one can create ANY political order one wishes, doing so truthfully. Any one of them. Anywhere on the spectrum. But truthfully.

    I (we) then use this understanding to advocate for western high trust, high velocity, transcendent, order, simply because it is the very best of those orders, because it consistently and rapidly defeats the red queen (competition from man and nature) and because only ethnic Europeans appear to be able to produce it. That order of western civilization I refer to as either the ‘Aryan’ or the Aristocratic (meritocratic) Egalitarianism (open to constant expansion of new members). Both terms meaning the same thing: meritocratic rotation in constant pursuit of greater numbers.

    I know it is almost impossible for followers of propertarianism to distinguish between the simple scientific method that makes our traditions, their intuitions and our instincts into rational and scientific arguments that we can use: Propertarianism – and the group evolutionary strategy that we use – aristocracy: markets of meritocracy in everything: Aryanism, or Aristocratic Egalitarianism.

    But it is hard and we must distinguish them.

    An ideology provides an emotional incentive to act in favor of political change under democracy.

    A philosophy provides a means of system of decidability in a domain of interest.

    A science provides a means of decidability regardless of interest or preference (Philosophy or Ideology).

    1) Propertarianism is a Science.

    2) Aristocratic Egalitarianism is a Philosophy.

    3) Aryanism is a group evolutionary strategy.

    And they are all perfectly compatible.

    Cheers

    —“I’m a bit surprised to see you answer that journalist the way you did. I would have expected you to be highly sparse with information, particularly pertaining to the purpose, economics, and success of the event. But what most surprised me is that you would post it on social media.”— A Friend

    This is a great conversation to have among libertarians and the right. It is a great illustration of the value of Propertarianism. And it is a great illustration of why the alt right and the right in general fail.

    You remember the Tiger woods debacle? What would have happened if he had said, “Yes, I’m tiger woods, I’m great a t what I do, I am an athlete, and I’m proud to be an athelte. Women like athletes. Women all but throw themselves at me. And I love them all, I want to be with them all, and I probably shouldn’t have gotten married because after all, this is who I am. I am an athlete and that is all.” And then made a series of television commercials showing him trying to play golf or whatever and being constantly distracted by attractive women. The strategy is this: take everything off the table by saying it yourself.

    A journalist, like a lawyer, prosecutor,or judge, is looking for information hiding, conspiracy, deception and fraud. They are not looking to understand. Their technique is to ask a lot of people similar questions, triangulate, and construct a narrative of immoral conspiracy. You cannot control a narrative. One crack and you’ve simply provided what the prosecutor seeks: incentives.

    The way you defeat opponents in life, commerce, media, and court, is (a) to have moral objectives and to state them, (b) to speak as much of the truth as you can manage. (c) to repeat your message over and over again.

    Well what is true? The event was a success. The people had fun. The panel was pleased with us. It advanced our strategic interests. It proved we can fill a room. It proved that Megan can run a conference if we want to scale. And it taught us about the costs and unpredictability of volunteers vs commercial interests, and paid speakers. I succeeded in getting the panel to answer the meaningful questions – although I couldn’t summarize it completely, and we needed a longer Q&A period. Eli learned that you need to prepare a presentation. Megan learned that a successful event is a non-event, and that you don’t need to run a show, just create an environment for conversation, bonding, and friendship development. I knew absolutely nothing about the venue, money, or anything else other than the few tidbits that Megan told me in the weeks before the event.

    Conservatives and libertarians are just as big a set of liars as progressives. Hence why truth is the best weapon. But that is in part because most conservatives and libertarians don’t know they’re lying – or justify it.

    Conservatism is a purely eugenic movement using a meritocratic hierarchy of self self-support (work), commons support (militia), family support, business support, region or corporation support (nobility), and political support (leadership). White privilege is a psychologism of white superiority. Multiculturalism is an attack on aristocratic civilization by those lacking merit. Left consensus is driven largely by fear of being left behind, and prohibiting alphas from getting ahead. Masculine aristocratic, feminine communist – there is no mystery to our intuitions: they are simply reproductive strategies.

    And so I see conservatives and alt righters as trying to get away with something by using ridicule of others and group bodning rather than advocating for separatism. In other words, I see the alt right as effeminate and infantile, rather than adult and serious. Serious people make serious arguments. A serious argument is one that is operationally possible.

    My ambition is to restore a constitution of natural law, to legislate truthfulness in the commons, and to devolve the government such that tribes of all sorts can produce commons in their individual interests. I believe this can only be accomplished – not because of the population’s unwillingess to adopt a different government – but because of the state and deep state, media, and academy that defends that deep state and totalitarian universalism.

    This will allow western civilization to continue and in no small part by separating natural aristocracy (conservatives) from the remaining peoples who cannot compete in a natural meritocratic aristocracy: bad people, bad families, bad businesses, bad government, and bad militia. But the price will be secession of territory – at least, until the leftist governments fail – which they all will, because they all must.

    What I see among the alt right, and libertarians is a bunch of childish LARPing, by using the internet as a massively multiplayer online game. I saw the alt-right go down in flames out of the same childish larping: the loneliness and desire for community by people who want keg parties and have no military or political objective, and no possible solution to offer the world. I play into the LARPing as a means of testing messages. In the full knowledge that the relationship between religion and the right is long time horizons (low time preference). And that such calculations have hereto for been matters of intuition not reason and calculation.

    But that is what my work provides: a language of the long term: capital, not experience. yet I am fully aware of the deep desire for intuitionism among the right and libertarians – the desire for infantile emotion instead of mature, rational and scientific incentives and actions.

    So how about we just state the truth. And make a revolution, instead of a fraternity. And leave the romantics out of the picture. And search for people who will conduct that revolution.

    And how about we use journalists’ attacks as means of staying on message: Separate or revolt and separate. It’s a simply choice. Monopoly is just conquest by left of right. And if it is conquest then the only answer is to fight.
