    Testimonialism is equivalent to the copernican, empirical, and darwinian revolutions in the sense that it provides an answer that we don’t want to hear, even if it will be profoundly valuable for us to have heard.

    I can see very clearly (despite my own extreme difficulty with it) how a future looks after Testimonialism, just as we can see before and after the greeks, before and after the enlightenment, before and after darwin.

    Many things we hold dear are simply imprecise, false, or outright lies.

    Without arms and militias voting is simply a pretense. But worse than that!? It’s a tool for controlling the masses when coupled with endless public lies and a media that propagates falsehoods with regularity.

    Voting has nothing to do with “By The People” – it is a duplicitous and stunningly effective mass control mechanism by which propagandists Tell people what they should think they want -whatever fulfills the purposes and creates the desired outcomes – and what they will give them, then harvest their votes to make them think that what the individuals in power require to reach desired ends is what the people want.

    Voting is a mass control device to appease the sheeple and keep them docile or fired up when and where required.

    1) Democracy is a means of selecting priorities among peoples with similar interests.

    2) Markets are a means of cooperating across dissimilar interests.

    3) Monopoly (Majority) rule is a means of circumventing cooperation between dissimilar interests, and institutionalizing theft – when every theft creates agitation and is a lost opportunity for cooperation.

    The genders (men/women), the classes, the institutions (force, trade, talk), as well as the federation, the state, the locality, and the neighborhood, all require local democracy and a hierarchy of markets in everything.

    Majoritarianism was fine when we had a house of lords/senate of regions, and a house of small business owners (farmers and merchants). It stopped being fine almost immediately. And it ceased being fine the moment the industrial revolution kicked in, and different regions developed different nations and no longer shared common interests.

    PERFECT FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS POSSIBLE

    (worth repeating)

    Rule-via-negativa, and Govern-via-positiva are two different things because they presume different knowledge – one theoretical(political) and one empirical(judicial).

    And the competition between (a)Monarchy-army-judiciary and (b) State-parliament-commerce and (c) Church-academy-family-militia, is simply the best model possible since it contains provides a market between the major markets for cooperation: ensuring the dominance of none.

    And this requires rotation of those who govern (the parliament) by via positiva in the practical time horizon. But does not require the rotation of those who judge via negativa (king, military, judiciary) since we wish the longest time horizon from them: the true; nor rotation of those who teach (church, academy, family) who we only wish to rotate by generation or less given the skills in demand for the current generation.

    And that the opportunity technical modernity presents us with, is direct democracy at the local level, and the replacement of the federal government with the governors, thereby eliminating the house and senate altogether, and devolving all matters other than military, disputes and insurance to the states.

    There is certain value in a trade union. There is certain value in a military union. There is little if no value in normative union.

    The origin of conflicts occurs when we cannot create norms, commons, and institutions that serve regional/state, local/city-town, and neighborhood/association-disassociation needs. Or when those with greater numbers impose upon us.

    We cannot blame men of history for making governments given the practical problem of communication in those eras – a problem which no longer exists in our era. We can only blame the men of our era for the industrialization of lying by which they sought to import vast underclasses, deprive us of our history, deprive us of education in grammar, logic, rhetoric, and testimony, and saturate us in pseudosciences just as they defrauded our people of sovereignty over nature in the ancient world through judaism, christianity, and islam.

    THE AMERICAN ERROR IN FORMATION OF THE REPUBLIC

    by Bill Joslin

    The British reason for choosing democracy was formulated very differently than the American moral posturing. It was a last resort before revolution where the polis could oust a tyrant without violence: the right to choose who rules you (not self rule.) Without the right to bear arms and right to form civilian militias, democracy is vacuous and pointless.

    Revolution is costly to infrastructure, production and high trust – democracy was to prevent those costs.

    ( CURT: Bill’s argument, which I agree with, was conflating democratic selection of rulers: a republic, with self-rule: democracy. )

    (CURT: IMO, Rule-via-negativa, and Govern-via-positiva are two different things because they presume different knowledge – one theoretical(political) and one empirical(judicial), and that the competition between monarchy-army-judiciary and state-parliament-commerce and Church-academy-family-militia, is simply the best model possible. And this requires rotation of those who govern (the parliament). And that the opportunity modernity presents us with, is direct democracy at the local level, and the replacement of the federal government with the governors, thereby eliminating the house and senate altogether, and devolving all matters other than military, disputes and insurance to the states. There is certain value in a trade union. There is certain value in a military union. The origin of conflicts is when we cannot create norms, commons, and institutions that serve regional/state, local/city-town, and neighborhood/association-disassociation needs. )

  • DEMOCRACY IS A MEANS OF SELECTING PRIORITIES AMONG PEOPLES WITH SIMILAR INTEREST

    DEMOCRACY IS A MEANS OF SELECTING PRIORITIES AMONG PEOPLES WITH SIMILAR INTERESTS. MARKETS ARE A MEANS OF COOPERATING ACROSS DISSIMILAR INTERESTS.

    (And monopoly majority rule is a means of destroying cooperation between dissimilar interests.)

    by Shanaynay Tomson

    If voting is used at all it should be a limited to a tool used among peers within political houses that represent the classes to make decisions among themselves and come up with proposals and requests made to the ruling aristocracy who also use voting as a limited tool among themselves as peers.

    All attempts to use voting among groups of non-peers with varied and conflicting interests (separate polities existing under a larger umbrella polity [the state]) can be defined as Chaos and have always proven to be such.

    Though useful among groups of peers that are equals, it is a tool of only limited and specific value and should always be used as such, it is otherwise dangerous. de Tocqueville saw this in his exploration of US democracy in the early 19th century, a number of the US founders were aware of this as well, but failed to create an operational system that limited the dangers inherent to this tool of very limited use.

    No more fiction for us: we calculate; but that we may calculate, we had to make fiction first.

    –Friedrich Nietzsche

    I guess, like many things, Nietzsche got there first… Fiction is a very primitive form of calculation.

    (Edit.) Turns out it’s a paraphrase by Danzig. And not at all conveying the original meaning.

You don’t have to be a billionaire to flourish under capitalism just as you don’t have to be an accomplished warlord to thrive under aristocracy; we all flourish because of our natural, competitive, high-agency element with all the right incentives for eugenic selection and cooperation under natural law.”— Simon Ström
