London: One fire. 40 Trucks.
What happens when there are 40 fires?
Explosions are just drama. They occur and are over.
Fire keeps working for you as long as its burning.
Fire is the best investment in revolution.
Interruption of Roads, Telecom, Power, and Water provide the best discount on fire.
Explosions are expensive and a bad return.
Fire, roofing nails, a bit of chain, transformers, and ATM’s give amazing returns.

Since, like the chinese system demonstrated knowledge of the political system is demonstrably harmful compared to the british requirement for demonstrated SUCCESS in the production of the private and common before one could participate in the political process.
The political process is relatively meaningless. It is a market for favors within a market for divvying up the spoils of population density.
So while we originally had a ‘house’ for each class: the monarchy (‘private governor of last resort’), the regional nobility (private ‘governors’ of regional businesses), the house of commons (‘private governors of homes – small businesses’) we now have majority rule by women and the peasantry.
Where Jefferson’s intention was to widen the net of enfranchisement as widely as possible because nearly everyone participated in the markets (owned property, farmed), but where the lower classes (slave, ‘serf’, employee) who were not successful at responsibility for others, had no influence – today what percentage of people demonstrate responsibility for (a) the business of the home (b) a small or medium business, (c) a large business or region. And what percentage of people are outside of the market where goods and services must perform? (media, schools, academy, state bureaucracies, and employees of most businesses).
So the question is not *who knows how the government works* (since it’s a trivial question), but *who can produce demonstration of knowledge of how the world works, such that we minimize the damage that slaves, serfs, employees, bureaucrats, and intellectuals, who don’t have any warranty of responsibility cannot do the damage to our civilization*
It is one thing to say we should not have mob rule. It is another thing to say we should have ‘reported pretense of understanding’, and quite another that has DEMONSTRATED application of understanding.
In other words, a bureaucracy with ‘reporting’ epistemology is just another self-reinforcing fantasy priesthood (like the postmodern academy) while a DEMONSTRATED epistemology provides a the only scientific method of selecting people for the operation of a government.
Reasoning is nothing without empirical, operational, rational, reciprocal, and fully accounted for tests of one’s reasoning. Reason is just another form of fantasy literature.
It’s acting with it as a formula that decides the veracity of the literature.

—“The African wild dog is a highly social animal, living in packs with separate dominance hierarchies for males and females. Uniquely among social carnivores, it is the females rather than the males that scatter from the natal pack once sexually mature, and the young are allowed to feed first on carcasses. The species is a specialised diurnal hunter of antelopes, which it catches by chasing them to exhaustion. Like other canids, it regurgitates food for its young, but this action is also extended to adults, to the point of being the bedrock of African wild dog social life. It has few natural predators, though lions are a major source of mortality, and spotted hyenas are frequent kleptoparasites.”—

WHY DIDN’T WE PREVENT CANTOR’S INFINITIES? (Ghosts?)
by Propertarian Frank
The exact same argument we use to stop believing in ghosts should have prevented Cantor’s infinities. But it didn’t.
(1) People familiar with Diagonal Argument and understand it is epistemic cancer.
(2) People familiar with advanced Platonist trickery like the Diagonal Argument and buy it even though they avoid falling for Platonism in other domains.
(3) People that are unfamiliar with advanced Platonist trickery, but intuitively understand truth is ultimately about actionable reality.
(4) People that are unfamiliar with advanced Platonist trickery, and believe in primitive forms of Platonism (theism, dualism).
Type (1) people will get testimonialism immediately.
Type (2) people could be persuaded. Trick is to prompt them to explain what differentiates the type of reasoning Cantor uses from the type of reasoning that tries to determine how many angels can dance simultaneously on the head of a pin. Induce cognitive dissonance by making explicit that wishful thinking is only possible when you use non-constructed names.
Type (3) people lack the information necessary to judge constructionism in philosophy of mathematics. Understanding Testimonialism requires a bare minimum of familiarity with philosophy of science. Absolute key concept is ‘decidability’. How does a type (3) person ascertain that he ‘gets’ operationalism? Through demonstration in something like the ‘line exercise’ from the other day. So, unfortunately, this type of person will miss the profundity and importance of operationalism. (Seeing the importance of operationalism was the reason I kept reading your corpus). We need to see concrete instances of a method failing so that we can eventually incorporate the solution to that failure into our epistemological method. Without the concretes, it’s impossible. Unfortunately, adding lessons on the Diagonal Argument, operationalism in psychology, instrumentalism and measurement in physics etc, would not be feasible methods for familiarizing the uninitiated. In other words, if you haven’t spent considerable time thinking about philosophy of science already, courses in Propertarianism will not convince you, because you lack the means of judging them.
Type (4) people are the hardest to persuade. You have to show them a domain in which Idealism fails, and prompt them to think about why they think it doesn’t fail in this other domain. If you can’t crush their Platonist belief in a certain domain (due to emotional blocks for instance), they can’t consistently apply operationalism. The fact that they haven’t already given up on simpler forms of Platonism indicates that they may have psychological blocks. Ergo, I think this type of person is the least amenable to learn Testimonialism through video lectures.

Five % of Americans fought in the original Revolution while the remaining Ninety Five % were pro Tory until it was safe to be otherwise. The largest Army that George Washington ever lead was 13,000 men and that was against citizens of the United States.

We’re already in a civil war…it’s just that the lead hasn’t started to fly yet.

There has been a slow-motion, incipient civil war going on since the sixties. The political left has pretty much taken over the education sector, the entertainment sector, the media and the judiciary. They have entrenched themselves in a “deep state”. This can only end in one of two ways: A nasty divorce or a shooting war and I don’t see a shooting war as very likely.
I think the country is heading for some type of breakup. To be honest, I’m not sure that is such a bad idea. Traditional America supports the Constitution as it is written, it supports the rule of law and the actual punishment of those who break the law, and it supports the protection of our borders. Leftist America opposes all of the above. How do you reconcile those two positions?
What’s the over/under on how many years (months?) it would take for leftist America to look like a third world nation? Just make sure to get it into the secession treaty: We are still allies but both side are on their own.

The Civil War is currently a Cold War. Both sides know it. The question is whether this cold war will turn hot or if the Deep State will collapse first.
Informed
At some time in the next year or two, we will drop into recession again. We are due. Our slow growth rate is making the run up before the next recession last longer. But, our economy is more constrained than ever by taxes, regulation, world competition and civil dysfunction, and growing mostly due to the use of more and more debt. Debt creates bubbles that leak and deflate. When the recession hits, deficits will rise above a trillion a year again. At some point, too much borrow and spend will result in rapid inflation and middle class savings and incomes shrinking in purchasing power. It is going to get ugly.

If you fill a 30 story skyscraper with third worlders, you will get a third world skyscraper fire. These primitive people have not learned how to live responsibly. “We” don’t have these problems. They do.

GENES DRIVE BEHAVIOR NOT INTENT
If women cannot conceive of the evil of their moral intuitions, why would a (((population))) that had bred for the continuous selection of feminine traits have any more consciousness of their evil than women do?
We just make excuses for our intuitions. Our intuitions are created by our genes.

The academy is happy to talk to the upper middle class, but who is actually working for the middle, working, and upper laboring classes: the moral people?
