—“[a roman general said european barbarians were …]– Some Poor Fool That Studied Critical Theory (Jewish Pseudoscientific Theology)
And …. you’re forgetting that the same roman general, the greek equivalent, the thousands of european chieftains and warriors that proceeded them were all europeans practicing indo european languages, european religions, and the group evolutionary strategy of european peoples.
I am quite sure I have read more than you have, and that i’ve read more science economics and law than you have. When you read literature it’s the slow version of thought, history a bit faster, economics, law a bit faster, science a bit faster, and mathematics the fastest. The paradigm (grammar) that you read tells us everything about your abilities and susceptibility to error. Error increases rapidly as we depart from economics, and if you read opinion you’re just reading fiction. And you read ‘fiction’. š I read fact.
And, well, you know, you are making a number of rather sophomoric errors here:
(a) all peoples develop similar norms given their states of development – because a primitive people practice cannibalism doesn’t tell us much other than their state of development.
(b) all peoples develop some grammar of arguing and persisting their group strategy in their environment, and strangely enough this strategy doesn’t change much over the centuries.
(c) That grammar (logic) varies from european science, to chinese wisdom, to hindu myth, to greek (platonic) idealism, to abrahamic critique and deceit by supernaturalism pseudoscience and sophism , to african magic.
(d) that strategy varies from european productivity, to chinese harmony, to hindu castes, to semitic parasitism, to gypsy petty parasitism, to the endemic interpredation of een more primitive peoples.
(e) the consequence of those strategies and grammars results in vast differences in consequences.
(f) europeans have practiced soverignty, testimony, jury, law, and materialism (because of metallugy) of some sort since the beginning of the Indo European expansion.
(g) hindsight is a sophism. moral equivalency across time is a sophism and a deceit. Islam christianity and judaism are a cancer on this earth.
So, those very basic roots a civilization lays grow trees then forests of dependent ideas behaviors and results.
Every civlization has erred. West african civilization was just about to enter it’s consolidation phase and the european age of sail had the same effect on west africa as it did on spain and portugal: it created a misallocation of capital by making greater profit from slave trading by africans than by empire construction; greater profit from slave trading and gold import, and conquest by spanish and portugese that was directed to wars of conquest rather than national improvement. And the british lucked out because their focus on commercial development, trade, and colonization instead of slave trading and gold importing, had longer institutional and civilizational consequences – even if, the small percentage of slaves in the USA led to our civil war, our near civil war in the 1960s and the civil war we will likely have shortly.
You see what happens when you study science, economics and law instead of literature? You discover that the group strategy of a people, the language and wisdom literature of a people that they persist that strategy with, and the organization of the people by military, commercial, theological, or ‘corruption’ determine everything that happens to them – and everything they do – becaues people do what they can in the circumstances with the knowledge that they have.
And by and large european and east asian civilizations practiced better group strategies, better wisdom literatures, and better EUGENICS than did the people who cannot keep up with them.
The rest is just ‘noise’ as knowledge and trade work their way through populations and spread across land masses and seas.
I am very, very good at what I do. And while we all make mistakes I very rarely make errors.
You will find very few public intellectuals like me who grant access to ordinary people.
Use it wisely and learn something.

Said this before, but I kind of like the use of “P” as shorthand for Propertarianism because of the “P vs NP” problem, which alludes to the falsificationary nature of propertarianism and testimonialism.

http://www.nobeliefs.com/eprime.htmCURT CAN YOU EXPLAIN EPRIME TO A NEWBIE?
—“Curt Doolittle, Can you help explain e prime for a newbie? (E prime is a the language taught in Propertarian circles – to reduce every statement down to an operational level – to test it for truth.)”—Rae Liera
I don’t think it’s that hard:
E-PRIME
E-Prime (short for English-Prime or English Prime, sometimes denoted Ć or Eā²) is a version of the English language that excludes all forms of the verb to be, including all conjugations, contractions and archaic forms. Some scholars advocate using E-Prime as a device to clarify thinking and strengthen writing.
PRETENSE OF KNOWLEDGE
Kellogg and Bourland describe misuse of the verb to be as creating a “deity mode of speech”, allowing “even the most ignorant to transform their opinions magically into god-like pronouncements on the nature of things”. Use of E-Prime reduces the possibility of deception, suggestion, misunderstanding or conflict.
Korzybski observed improvement “of one full letter grade” by “students who did not generalize by using that infinitive”. In other words, you will dramatically improve your own understanding and ability to communicate by writing in eprime.
PROPERTARIAN CONTEXT
So, P uses Disambiguation by serialization and operationaliztion, and ePrime, written in complete sentences (transactions), where complete sentences or sets of sentences (full accounting) describe changes in state of demonstrated interests (investments). This produces a value neutral financial or economic language of psychology, ethics, sociology, and politics. It is also, like accounting, very difficult to ‘fudge’ (lie).
DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS OF THE VERB TO-BE
In the English language, the verb ‘to be’ (also known as the copula) has several distinct functions, all of which are reducible to “testimony on the terms of existence”.
1. identity, of the form “noun copula definite-noun” [The cat is my only pet]; [The cat is Garfield]
2. class membership, of the form “definite-noun copula noun” [Garfield is a cat]
3. class inclusion, of the form “noun copula noun” [A cat is an animal]
4. predication, of the form “noun copula adjective” [The cat is furry]
5. auxiliary, of the form “noun copula verb” [The cat is sleeping]; [The cat is being bitten by the dog]. The examples illustrate two different uses of ‘be’ as an auxiliary. In the first, ‘be’ is part of the progressive aspect, used with “-ing” on the verb; in the second, it is part of the passive, as indicated by the perfect participle of a transitive verb.
6. existence, of the form “there copula noun” [There is a cat]
location, of the form “noun copula place-phrase” [The cat is on the mat]; [The cat is here]
Bourland sees specifically the “identity” and “predication” functions as pernicious, but advocates eliminating all forms for the sake of simplicity. In the case of the “existence” form (and less idiomatically, the “location” form), one might (for example) simply substitute the verb “exists”. Other copula-substitutes in English include taste, feel, smell, sound, grow, remain, stay, and turn, among others a user of E-prime might use instead of to be.
Examples
Words not used in E-prime include: be, being, been, am, is, isn’t, are, aren’t, was, wasn’t, were, and weren’t.
Contractions formed from a pronoun and a form of to be are also not used, including: I’m, you’re, we’re, they’re, he’s, she’s, it’s, there’s, here’s, where’s, how’s, what’s, who’s, and that’s. E-Prime also prohibits contractions of to be found in nonstandard dialects of English, such as “ain’t”.
GENERAL SEMANTICS
General semantics was a self improvement movement that (roughly) suggested that if you improve the use of your language so that it is more correspondent to reality (or something at least) that you will train yourself (similar to stoic rituals in list making) to have greater understanding and mindfulness of the world.
I would state this differently in that P logic using the above techniques seeks to create a value neutral standard of weights and measures by which we interpret the world, that is the most parsimonious system of weights and measure that is possible – and – is most correspondent consistent and coherent with the world. (this is the aristotelian project).
P IS THE OPPOSITE OF POSTMODERNISM
The opposite proposition of P is that of Theology, Postmodernism, and Generative Anthropology, all of which attempt social construction that is non-correspondent, inconsistent, non-coherent with reality in order to use deception to coerce people into submission to some narrative of desirable or undesirable deceit.
In other words, there is leftist postmodernism (social construction) and rightist postmodernism (social construction) and both are means of deceit in order to compensate for lack of military and economic power. In other words, this is the purvey of pseudoscientists, financialists, mystics and priests: deception.
And yes, I realize, people have a hard time with reality and want comforting deceits. But there are three other choices: physical ritual, buddhist and stoic-epicurean self discipline (emotional), and the scientific truth (intellectual). All three produce mindfulness without ‘the big lies of social constructions.’
ORIGINS OF EPRIME
D. David Bourland Jr., studied under Alfred Korzybski, and devised E-Prime as an addition to Korzybski’s general semantics in the late 1940s.
BOOKS
Bourland published the concept in a 1965 essay entitled “A Linguistic Note: Writing in E-Prime”
Bourland collected and published three volumes of essays in support of his innovation.
– To Be or Not: An E-Prime Anthology (1991)
– More E-Prime: To Be or Not II (1994)
– E-Prime III: a third anthology, published (1997).

CIVILIZATIONAL DIFFERNCES IN SUPREMACY
Its easy to be a European Supremacist on the evidence – but european supremacy is due to thousands of years of the european group strategy of entrepreneurial warfare, heroism, sovereignty, reciprocity, truth, duty, rule of law, jury, tripartism, and the commons of markets, reason, empiricism, science, medicine, technology, history, literature, and arts that results from it. But Superiority among europeans has taught us that trying to domesticate others directly doesn’t work. We can only do it by export. Our cost of conquest and rule is too high. (Even if conquest and eradication isn’t)
Superiority among Ashkenazi hasn’t taught them much at all – hence the lack of heroism, sovereignty, reciprocity, truth, duty, rule of law, jury, tripartism, and all the commons that result from it. Instead we have the Abrahamic method of false promise, baiting into hazard, justified by pilpul defended by critique and GSRRM, unwarrantied, and obfuscated by claims of plausible deniability under the claim of the victim’s volition, and the worlds most harmful lies created using that Abrahamic method of deceit: judaism, christianity, and islam in the ancient world, and marxism, cultural marxism, feminism, postmodernism, political correctness, propaganda, and financialism and denialism in the modern world.
However, history has a long record of Chinese supremacy in no small part because of the luxury of their fertile river valleys and geographic isolation, by mountains, desert, arctic, and oceans, and relatively homogeneous genetics prohibiting the conflicts of un-isolated fertile crescent peoples. They were able to organize and create a bureaucracy early, and continuously progress – albeit much more slowly that the west. And they are demonstrating once again that national and civilizational self interest will defeat semitic religious monopoly universalism, and european market universalism.
The future is determined by whether the anglosphere can re-unite, and the indians, chinese, are successful in reversing islamic conquest, and the europeans, north and south americans and africans prevent it.
China is a fascist (nationalist) state and it has set the tempo for the 21st and 22nd centuries because it is the most competitive strategy a political order can adopt – and none can defeat that strategy over time.

GSRRM IS ALMOST ALWAYS AN ATTEMPT TO OBSCURE A THEFT
—“Why are leftists so keen to brand you as a racist or supremacist?”— (interviewer to Charles Murray)
Well, why to murderers, thieves, frauds, free riders, parasites, the conspiratorial, corrupt, converters, invaders, justify their thefts?
It’s a dumb question.
Always ask who is stealing what and that tells you the answer.

—“I hate to say this but you make a big difference to your children with your genes, and very little difference to your children with your parenting”— Charles Murray
I say this slightly differently. Your genes determine everything about your children. Your principle job as a parent is not to improve your children (you can’t), but notto screw them up.
And you can reduce friction in life for them by training them in good habits (grooming, manners, ethics, morals) and to do as little harm to them as possible. š
Just don’t screw them up.

I don’t argue against christian ethics (outcome) – I argue against abrahamism (justification).
I want them to be christians. I just don’t want them to argue with me by claiming that their preference for conveying Christian ethics is a truth or a necessity – It’s neither. it’s a good, and a preference. that’s fine. š But theology isn’t true or even close to it. It’s a false and unwarrantable promise to bait you into following christian ethics.
I just tell them that christianity when stated in scientific terms is in fact the scientific optimum ethics. The way that they argue it and justify it is rather ridiculous for those of us who are fine with the scientific truth being enough of a reason to act according to christian ethics.
If you need different incentives to follow christian ethics that’s just a psychological difference. Otherwise, natural law and Christian ethics are the optimum.
Largely, need for faith is a biological bias to empathy (feminine minds); need for theological argument is a biological bias for (weak) male minds. And the lack of need for faith is a biological basis for analytic (male) minds. And given that regardless of sex we almost all share some distribution of masculine and feminine biases.
So no matter which reason you choose christianity: emotional faith, authoritarian rational, or scientific acknowledgment, all that matters is that people who AREN’T CHRISTIAN always and everywhere have more questionable (worse) ethics that are incompatible with western civilization.

I just stick with (a) jesus’ teaching is reducible to five points, (b) the ten commandments are just the law of tort, ( c) and europeans dont need to lie about either because we’ve always practiced sovereignty, reciprocity, truth, jury, tripartism, and aristocratic egalitarianism. It’s just that each of those ideas takes a standard deviation higher intelligence than the semitic religions to grasp. And that’s the net of it right there.
There is no evidence people need faith. It’s a normative conclusion. People need a binding intergenerational narrative. It must have an embedded ambition. But most of the world did quite well before nonsense-religions. Ancestor worship and buddhism for the east, and ancestor worship and stoicism for the west are obvious examples.
Jesus fits into the indo-european trinary religion just fine and if he had been included into the pantheon we wouldn’t have this problem – but the semites wanted to undermine the great, joyous, greco roman empire (and persian, and egyptian..) with a mandatory authoritarian universalist religoin so that they could encourage (warring, lying, cheating, malicious, awful) middle eastern tribal people.
But judaism succeeded by separatism, and christianity failed among tribal people, and islam evolved out of a christan sect into a conquering rather than undermining version of abrahamism.
