    THE CAUSE OF USA’S DEEP STATE MALINCENTIVES: ERROR.

    The USA ended up with the british empire and the international network of finance, trade, and law created by the british empire’s ‘globalization’ of knowledge, technology, law, finance, and trade.

    After the second world war, the ‘postwar consensus’ was that to prevent another world war, all nations should limit their actions to the development of ‘human rights’, and markets for commons (democracy) within their borders. Human rights being a pseudo-religious proxy for ‘property rights’. Democracy being a proxy for ‘commercial consumer capitalist state’.

    The problem is, that this cannot be achieved without direct rule. And without exploitation of the local people direct rule of the globe was too expensive in the postwar period. (a problem the soviets and chinese tried to solve through central control – to tragic ends.)

    So the USA’s postwar mission has been a failure for the simple reason that demographic groups are not equally able to produce sufficient returns to construct a voluntary network of specialization and trade because there is not enough productivity to pay for marginal incentives necessary to organize those networks. And there is too little experience with creating commons, and too little chance of preventing privatization of commons, to make consumer capitalist orders possible WITHOUT western rule.

    So it is more that the postwar ideals were institutionalized in the american and british and german systems of government, and we cannot exit them without revolution, because we lack a means of producing alternate incentives for our deep state (bureaucracy) that was specifically ‘bred’ for the purpose it pursues. (we see the uk still trying to create an empire at home.)

    I LOVE THE HIPPIES OF ALL TYPES. 😉

    I love ‘hippies’. I love ‘counter culture’ artists. I love the musician class. I love ‘libertarians’ – the counter-culture commercial class. These people want nothing from others.

    I love working class people who conform. I love laboring class family, humor, and love of life. I can tolerate my fellow professional classes as long as they are self employed.

    I rapidly dislike those who are bureaucratically employed. I despise the political and bureaucratic classes. And my experience with the upper out-of-sight classes varies dramatically. With the entrepreneurial having some saving graces.

    The people I can’t stand, and want to protect us from, are the evangelical, zealous, righteous, fraudulent, and controlling. The State, Church, Academy, Media, and the whining gossips who serve them in every class.

    Now, I know how to eliminate the parasitic financial classes and the parasitic talking-classes, and the parasitic political classes, and the corrupting priestly classes. And it turns out that it’s relatively easy.

    But you never dethrone princes cheaply. Usually heads must roll. And we should celebrate the heady murder of it. Not so much for our own pleasure. But to keep the memory fresh for generations to come.

    THE ‘LICENSING’ QUESTION

    The problem with licensing etc is that it’s a poor substitute for an Insurer. In other words, you regulate the market going in, rather than regulate the risk of harm. SImilar to the problem of Chinese Bureaucracy – or bureaucracy in general. There is absolutely value to demanding insurance that limits one’s actions to that for which restitution is possible. And there is absolutely value in institutional enforcement of the requirement that men can take no action that they may not pay restitution for. This is a simple test of reciprocity.

    in most of history, the government is the insurer of last resort. So licensing is a cheap (discounted) means of limiting insurance claims (harms).

    And no, we cannot claim rights to engage in any transaction the consequences of which we cannot pay restitution for, any more than we can claim rights to any action that we cannot pay restitution for.

    A license is a government-as-insurer-of-last-resort method of limiting the fraud, consequence, and externalities of actions that those who would seek to ‘learn’ or ‘profit’ by the externalization of risk of their failure. And the very high cost of dispute resolution and restitution.

    An requirement that one is covered by insurance and exposed to the courts, means that the government is no longer responsible for insurer of last resort (regulation), but that professions self regulate or risk prosecution in the courts, and regulation if they fail. This technique seems to work as long as the golden fleece of western civilization prevails: the courts as a priesthood of truth and reciprocity does not fail.

    So far as I can tell, primitive animism, western discipline-ritual, eastern harmony-ritual, are all ‘good’; and the zoroastrian is borderline; the vedic crosses the border; and the abrahamic religions are all ‘bad’.

    ( I work in public for a reason. There is no value in working in public other than to attract good criticism – and trying to falsify it, defend against it, adapt to it, or include it. The problem is, that there is very little good criticism. And there are a lot of people passionate about delivering bad stupid or ridiculous attempts at criticism.)

    Paganism provides ‘advice’ we can choose to heed.

    Abrahamism provides ‘law’ we must obey.

    That is enough of a distinction for any of us to understand.

    PENDER STRIKES INTERGENERATIONAL GOLD

    —“Would it be good policy, to provide for parental retirement savings account accessible only after 70, to garnish 2% of the income of only one’s *own* children after they turn 22? This would align the incentives of parents with their kids to keep them debt-free in their youth, with the lowest cost of living with the highest income… and probably encourage looking into alternatives to $$$ college that increasingly has low ROI other than STEM majors.”—Steve Pender

  • ENDORPHIN (DRUG) ADDICTION: THE SECRET TO ABRAHAMISM. THE ANCIENT WORLD’S PRACTI

    ENDORPHIN (DRUG) ADDICTION: THE SECRET TO ABRAHAMISM.

    THE ANCIENT WORLD’S PRACTICAL RELIGION

    In the ancient world, the aristocracy (warrior caste) performed many of the ceremonies – it was a public duty.

    1) –“it would always remain a public office. “—

    2) —“there were four colleges for priests, there was no priestly class;”—

    3) —individual expression of belief was unimportant, strict adherence to a rigid set of rituals was far more significant, thereby avoiding the hazards of religious zeal (endorphine-chasing) —

    IN OTHER WORDS

    Like the only other civilization to rely on reason: china –

    1 – The religion was ritualistic, and mindfulness was achievable through ritual and NOT subject to self-induced-drug-addiction. It was a practical religion not an escapist one.

    2 – The practice of the rituals was an administrative skill (see Japanese Tea Ceremony) available to everyone.

    3 – There was no dedicated priestly caste that could gain material or political power through the use of deception (fictionalism) or the sale of experiences (self induced drug addiction).

    IN OTHER WORDS

    There are many ways to obtain the experience of mindfulness. Of them, the best appears to be stoic virtues, the next pagan rituals, the next buddhist meditation, the next pagan prayer. As far as I know the only ‘bad’ means of doing so are self-induced-endorphine saturation, and artificially induced endorphin saturation (drugs).

    CLOSING

    People’s addiction to self-induced endorphin addiction using abrahamic religion is no different from people’s addiction to self administered synthetic endorphin-addiction.

    And their behavior in defense of their addictions whether alcohol, marijuana, opiates, hallucinogens, or fictionalist religion – any religion that can produce ‘Zeal’ (addiction-behavior), is the same – and it is the reason for their absurd behavior in defense of their addiction.

    I have no problem calling drug addicts what they are. I have no problem prosecuting drug addicts. I have no problem denying drug addicts means of distribution of their drugs. I have no problem denying drug addicts access to the commons. And I have no problem imprisoning or killing drug addicts.

    BECAUSE AS WE HAVE SEEN – ADDICTIVE BEHAVIOR IS ANTITHETICAL TO CIVILIZATION.
