    WHY I LOVE UKRAINE

    The people are sweet. family and friends matter more than work and politics. The food is amazing and natural. There is little if any rude public behavior. the culture is communal and civil – you can get a punch in the face still. the men are men and manly. the women are women – and beautiful. People appreciate kindness and consideration. They go to church and dress for it. The women cook. Family is sacred. There are scammers everywhere. The women will use you if you let them. The tech sector is a wild west like the USA in the 90’s because it’s difficult to exercise corruption on information-goods. They work 10-12 hour days. There is a holiday every week or so. No one works between december 10th and January 20th – and can’t, because of food and alcohol. The entire place is falling apart. Nothing works. Banking is questionable. No one can drive at all, and everyone thinks otherwise. There is organized crime everywhere. There is corruption everywhere. There is little if any government. There is little if any police presence. But they are hopeful. And they are ‘becoming a people’ before your eyes. So basically if you make your income elsewhere and spend it in ukraine it’s akin to tripling your income, and everyone you spend it with or on benefits from it.

    We must cause enough insurrection at home that the foreign contingents of the military return home and create opportunity in the rest of the world, that the remaining west must defend against. The only way to restore the west is to restore the many armies of the west, and the many militias with it.

    I view ‘conservatism’ as a failure to develop a solution, so acting defensively, and limiting the negative consequences. I view progressivism as a failure to develop a solution, so acting opportunistically and externalizing the consequences. THe problem is, in both cases: ‘why can’t we solve the problem’. And the answer is usually that there is no way to (cost effectively) create the records or information necessary to provide decidability. IMHO there is very little reason today for informational inadequacy or asymmetry.

    —As a longer term bit of strategy, I want the movement to be less about me, and more about the team and the idea. My agenda was to create a counter to the frankfurt school – a sort of ‘New Inquisition” against ignorance, error, bias, and deceit. A ‘cult’ of Prosecutors of Natural Law. And a group of specialists that provide historical expertise as needed to assist those prosecutors. So I would prefer to ‘go to market’ with that example, rather than just relying on myself. The purpose of the prosecutors is to function as a court that licenses the ‘activists’ to ‘act’. I do not want to be a gate nor do I want a movement dependent upon me. I will be gone eventually. The movement must persist. —

    WHY OTHER SUCCEED HERE BUT WE CAN’T THERE.

    —“I’ve done a couple of psychological studies on cultural trust. I think this IQ to Trust ratio is why Asians succeed when transplanted into white cultures, but the same can’t be said for the inverse.”—Daniel Travis
