PERCEIVED RISK AND FEAR OF FAILURE
Entrepreneurship in the UK and Germany feels very much like 1000 overzealous virtue-signal conformists are trying to strangle you at all times – as if the damage they do by their virtue signaling and constraints does not somehow cause one thousand times as much damage to the people and the economy as any entrepreneurial error or fraud has any potential of doing.
And all those poor european morons thing that by preventing someone from taking some small advantage doesn’t stifle all the advantages that are possible save the outliers.
There is a reason the stock market and research in consumer goods are in the USA, that bond market and banking are in the London, that engineering is in Germany, and that military is in Russia.

THE MEANING OF THE WORD RELIGION AND ITS RELEVANCE
by Daniel Gurpide
The original meaning of the Latin word religio—from religare, to tie fast—was never used until Constantinian times to describe the ‘superstitio nova ac malefica’ represented by Christianity and has nothing to do with the metaphysical or fideistic concepts introduced by monotheism.
It is simply what binds together the members of a political and ethno-cultural community.
As such, religion has two aspects: the myth—the representation that we choose to have of our own past, and more generally of the universe, in relation to the future, the destiny that we want to create; and the rite—the evocation and celebration of our being together with the intention of provoking a general mobilisation of spirits:
A Nationalisation of The Masses that is a necessary condition for the new European Nation to have a destiny worthy of its own past, and worthy of what we once were – and could be again.
This is the real religious question.

SUMMARY OF THE ARGUMENT
Geographical circumstances and ‘timing’ led to the choice of very counter-to-type cultural norms, which produced as a consequence institutional, cultural, and technological superiority which resulted (as in east asia) in more rapid selection for neoteny and more rapid culling of the underclasses (the “Evil 80s”).
It will be very, very, hard to defeat this argument btw.
It is possible that europeans had developed genetic tendencies prior to the adoption of horse (steppe), wheel(europe), and bronze(armenian anatolia).
However, as far as I can tell, it is unnecessary to rely on genetic accident, given that all of western civilizations advantages are explained without reliance on such accident. And there is no evidence that any other people could not adopt those same cultural, institutional, and genetic abilities by similar reduction of the underclasses alone.

THE WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE ORTHODOX PEOPLES?
—“Curt: What are your thoughts on the Orthodox church?”—
Well, I have good and bad to say about the churches themselves, but that does not say much about the orthodox peoples. The catholic and orthodox churches differ trivially. Far less so than the protestant and catholic churches.
THE ORTHODOX PEOPLES
The orthodox peoples compensate for low trust, with strong family, friendship, high ritual, sacredness, and smaller organizations, lower experimentation, entrepreneurship, and innovation.
The orthodox people never formed a militia,and never developed a middle class, never developed contractualism, and never went through the enlightenment, and are descendent almost entirely from farmers and serfs. Hence strong family, strong friends, weak commerce, and low trust.
THE ORTHODOX LATE ADOPTER BENEFITS
That said, the late adopter of a technology may filter the observed undesirable effects, retain the desirable effects, and not abandon the more desirable effects of the prior order.
So, once modernity has spread through the rest of the world (islam, india, china, and africa), and the excesses of the west are no longer possible due to extreme differences in wealth, it would be logical, and appears to evolve, that the orthodox may have benefitted from her delay.
If you can have all the benefits of the west, and not destroy your civlization in the process is not that the best alternative?
I think so.
THE FUTURE OF OUR PEOPLE IN CONTEXT
So I would prefer to live amongst the Traditional Orthodox and Catholic peoples over that of the Cosmopolitan Protestant/Jewish peoples, if I cannot save my own protestant peoples from Cosmopolitanism by the forcible elimination of the lies and deceptions that make Protestant Suicide possible.
All I need to is convince enough of my extended kin to eliminate fraud from the public discourse, and defund the production of the industrialization of lying, and I can save my people.
To do that I need only produce a reformed constitution, a set of demands to implement it, a reason for the majority of my kin to demand it as well over the interests of their cosmopolitan elites, and destroy the fragile economy long enough that the state cannot survive the combination of demands, disorder, destruction, and loss of support of the people.

—‘ INSERT IGNORANT MARXIST / KEYNESIAN DRIVEL HERE ‘—-
(the relationship between time, money, interest, and limits)
Time is the commodity we all manage, savings of time produced by a division of labor, savings or loss tested only by voluntary exchange and mutual gain, and hard money in an agrarian economy, and soft money in a regulated money supply is a means of storing it in least possible volatile form, given that the only means of testing the existing voluntary organization of production in sustainable networks of specialization and trade, is exhausting them, and the resulting corrections.
The primary problem we face in modernity is the reduced transaction cost of large, regulated, money supplies, and the extension of risk because of the insurance such supplies provide, dampens information distribution, and allows us to overcommit to the existing anticipated demand, and its networks of sustainable specialization and trade, and then corrections are not small and frequent but less frequent and very large. At present major corrections (overcommitments of promises based upon erroneous estimations of demand) are cycling every five to eight years. But we are accumulating overextensions across the economy under marxist, socialist, Keyensian, and postmodern assumptions of ongoing innovation that will provide greater gains than any correction can erase. (this is demonstrably false not only in the present century but throughout all of history).
Well of course, the problem is that it’s necessary for us to charge interest on production for reasons that are well understood, and only simpletons don’t understand.
We dont’ need to pay interest on consumer CONSUMPTION since the need for interest is provided by the calculation of production.
Democratic is always use as a lie, since it means ‘majority rule’ or ‘mob rule’ and nothing else. I think you mean, instead, ‘capacity to repay’.
And no it is not as simple as double entry book keeping. It is as simple as calculating the losses from a failure to collect interest in the treasury, and treating it as redistribution instead (cost).
The reason you don’t grasp all of this, which is fairly obvious to me, and might be obvious to economists who practice full accounting (austrians), is that all forms of exhcange and their constituent products, including barter, money, cost, profit, credit, interest, exist to calculate the underlying commodity of TIME.
But if you fancy marxist pseudoscientific drivel, then it’s unlikely that you have the knowledge necessary to grasp such things.
We manage time. And it’s time that we use to coerce each other. Money is just a store of accumulated time savings. Credit is borrowing against future time.
The average idiot still does not grasp that naturall production, agrarian production, and cooperation from agrarian barter were able to sustain small numbers, and that the production of TIME was limited by the rates of production of consumable flora and fauna minus the cost of harvest, and that when we developed a division of labor and then money, we could still calculate our uses of time, such that we were staying ahead of the production of monther nature.
The central issue with the current era is that hydrocarbons have given us the illusion that we no longer need conduct a full accounting, but this is a ‘spendable inheritance’.
(.. I will not go deeper. Not worth my time…..)
MONEY = a store of TIME. Credit = Borrowing of time. we can run out of ‘time’ just as we run out of gold. Although that is probably a simplification that is too difficult for you.
Hence why I am an advocate of full accounting in economics and all of science.

THE ORDERED SPECTRUM OF “MONEY TO PROMISES” w/ ADDITION OF BITCOIN
(worth repeating)
I swear to god this is one of those things that everyone on earth needs to understand – and if they don’t, they are ongoing victims of financial fraud daily.
I did not add checks, agreements, and promises to the right side of this list but I probably should so that it would provide the entire spectrum.
