    Gonna borrow a lot from Curt Doolittle here and say that as long as a market demands a state, there will be one. While it’s true that as we go up in class, the members of said classes can better organize and operate without the apparatus of the state, forming a society that is absent of all the lower classes that would be unable to function in this way would be detrimental.

    Observing the iq distribution of Asians and Europeans, we see that there is a spike and high concentration of the Asians on the upper end of average, whereas Europeans have a broader distribution. Our diverse range of intelligence allows for a hierarchy and societal structure that allowed us the most beneficial distribution of labour and this granted us the ability to advance faster and in special ways as opposed to Asian societies. As I see it, the only way to make anarchy work is to concentrate the best of the upper classes in one area, thus negating one of our best characteristics as a people.

    I think that forming society based on natural hierarchy and aristocracy would be the optimal system in which the minimum amount of state is needed to organize society. As Doolittle has said before, those of us that *can* operate with less restriction, may. In the past there were different laws governing different classes.

    TODAY’S EXCERPT OF CHOICE

    (from chapter “Reforming the Academy”)

    —“It is in the nature of the incentives of Educators to strive to make men witty and cunning, rather than to strive to make them moral and wise. If in no small part, because they desire to be entertaining, desire to circumvent defense of their weak arguments, any challenge to which would undermine the students’ suspension of disbelief in their mastery of the subject.

    And because those who are instead moral and wise, choose more ethical, moral, and profitable careers. Education is no less sacred a ritual than any other. But it is performed by the least sacred of means. Otherwise they would warranty their product as does every other profession other than the priesthood and the politician.”—

    I know Montaigne said it first, but I have found it to be true: that others generally think ill of us for things we did not do, did not intend, or had no incentives to do, or had completely different intentions and incentives. Yet those things we do that are intentionally unethical, immoral, and evil so much more frequently go unnoticed. People criticize what they see. They too often imagine ill behind what they see. Because they project upon others their own intuitions. All the while, blind to the incentives, and the consequences they don’t see.

    CRITICIZING MATERIALISM: FOR GOOD OR BAD REASONS?

    Well, you know, criticizing materialism as a substitute for the familial (reproduction) is logical. For the social, likely. For the religious and supernatural, nonsense. In fact, there is a high correlation between social rejection and religiosity for precisely those reasons. So when I hear people want ‘traditionalism’ hear they are socially incompetent and want a way to enter the dream state in public – the ultimate selfishness – spiritual masturbation. They are generating demand for a bad. When I hear people talk about loneliness, loss of the civil society, or being unfulfilled by material goods, I hear that they long for social participation, or the safety of family and clan, then they are demonstrating demand for a ‘good’. Participatory sport, participatory debate, participatory theatre, participatory sacrifice (donation to the commons) and personal commune with the gods, with emphasis on ritual assist in social trust and bonding.
