    THE EUROPEAN SOCIAL ORDER

    The european social order is consistent from prehistory across all of europe with the variation caused by adaptation of the underlying social order (aristocratic egalitarianism, tripartism, sovereignty) to whatever economy was available.

    It’s these three civilizational strategies that make it so easy for a middle class, and middle class rule to emerge in european civilization and so hard in so many others.

    Read more history that’s not the “mythology of rebellion against the indo european aristocracy” because that’s the purpose of a christian > liberal > marxist > postmodernist education and it always has been – resistance.

    The difference between western thought and all other thought is the difference between zero and one: infinite. Why? Truth, operationalism, completeness. Yeah, western thought is harder, and less intuitive, and less satisfying and not at all sedating. It is however, the only means by which we have converted the universe to an instrument of man’s will.

    Let’s avoid conflating sentience, awareness, and the consciousness spectrum – and prevent overreach. These things are our food. Not abusing them and not eating them are two different things. And the reason not to abuse them is that we don’t want such people in our midst.

    Vegetarianism, like animal activism, political activism, or gossiping and undermining, is among the strange obsessions that women devote their cognitive demand for emotional load to in the absence of more constructive outputs (children). The problem is there is no check on women.

    There are many checks on men’s antisocial behavior in fulfillment of demand for cognitive load – although sports, and video games are wasteful they aren’t harmful, and business and the arts are constructive. There are no such checks on women’s behavior.—“The libertarian case for veganism: Sentience extends to cows, chicken, pigs & even fish. These are beings with a consciousness.

    —“I think some of the people who identified as right wing libertarians assumed the libertarian ideology was about reciprocity (at least thats what i thought), but realized some point after Ron Paul’s campaign that it wasn’t the case. Libertarianism just doesn’t give you all the tools you need to resolve western civilization’s current threats. Ironically enough, it doesn’t even give you the tools you need to build a model “libertarian” society, so the ideology is self refuting.”–Jacob Liam Youngman

    PROBLEMS THE POLICE FACE

    (1) police are expensive and patrol large territories in expensive vehicles with expensive equipment.

    (2) because police are expensive they do not travel in groups, and do not practice european policing of de-escalation- europe is small and densely populated.

    (3) Therefore officers rely on manipulation, deception, intimidation, and force, to subdue an individual and ‘drag him into the system’. Whereas you or I only need to break contact, they have to bring people into the system. The reason is that they don’t have discretionary power (as do sheriffs and judges.) This is because they can get sued if they are forgiving but you do something stupid. So their only defense is to get you into the system.

    (4) Revenue for a police department and justice system is funded by taxes, tickets and fines, and worst of all, property seizures. This has produced the malincentives we predicted.

    (5) Police are in a position of high risk, high responsibility, and under multiple conflicting incentives for which they can lose job and pension for any normal human error. This is a no-win situation for them. So they tend to develop procedures that are the safest for them and their careers, by choosing processes that put the officer in the position of making THE FEWEST DECISIONS. This is the problem.

    (6) The police do not control the bad laws that they operate under. Their job is to bring people into the system and let the system and system processes do the work – thereby (mostly) using time and isolation for heated afraid or excited people to calm down.

    (7) The data is what it is and the cops know the data: Black americans are disproportionately impulsively violent and will run, drug users are disproportionately unpredictable and dangerous even with bodily fluids or needles, and hispanic americans are disproportionately involved in gangs and dangerous, and white americans are disproportionately cunning and dangerous.

    (8) Police will not stay in the job if they have IQ’s over 105, so they hire average people for the job, because frankly it’s a lot of paperwork, and a lot of putting up with unpleasant people, and a lot of very high stress followed by very boring procedure. So for an average guy it’s a high income high status job – with decision making above his pay grade.

    (9) Some police forces are run well and others not, and there is no requirement that police come from the area nor stay in an area and learn the ‘crook book’ for the area. Instead, better police forces hire and train better officers, who then take positions that pay more money in less ‘prime’ territories.

    So there are just a lot of things going on. Where instead, we should probably have three classes of officers, at three pay grades, the top being criminal lawyers (proto-judges), the middle being today’s armed officers, and the bottom being de-escalation officers, and we should try to use numbers rather than concentration of force to deescalate and bring people in.

    THE PSYCHOLOGICAL FUNCTION OF RELIGION

    —“Notes on religion from “Willpower” by Roy F. Baumeister

    (Willpower Stabilized/Sense of Place)

    “Less obvious benefits included the finding that religion reduces people’s inner conflicts among different goals and values.”

    (Practice Habit-Forming)

    “Religious believers build self-control by regularly forcing themselves to interrupt their daily routines in order to pray.”

    (External Accountability/Internal Consistency)

    “Religious people tend to feel that someone important is watching them. That monitor might be God, a supernatural being who pays attention to what you do and think, often even knowing your innermost thoughts and reasons, and can’t be easily fooled if you do something apparently good for the wrong reason.”—Todd E. Magnusson

    —“(Willpower Stabilized/Sense of Place) Less obvious benefits included the finding that religion reduces people’s inner conflicts among different goals and values.”—

    Mindfulness. This is a neurological necessity. The fact that we are infinitely adaptive does not mean that we not infinitely stressed by infinite adaptation. The stoic method with Epicurean objectives achieves this best.

    —“ritual”—

    yes. continuous programming of stable state despite continuous exposure to life. Stoic ritual is superior.

    –” that someone important is watching them”–

    Yes. Again, stoic ritual, casts that person as ‘you’, giving you agency and knowledge of it.

    The general argument so far is that ritual religion of slaves is necessary for the bottom, that stoicism an epicureanism for the middle, and stoicism and aryanism for the top.

  • AGENCY IS A DEMONSTRATION OF SUCCESSFUL WILL TO POWER —“I struggle with Agency

    AGENCY IS A DEMONSTRATION OF SUCCESSFUL WILL TO POWER

    —“I struggle with Agency… Someone who goes to the gym regularly because they want to be buff and ripped would be said to be exercising agency. An alignment of desire and rational action / persistence. However, is a gambler exercising agency when they gamble on the daily? Or is agency simply contentiousness bearing fruit against a declared aim?”– Gary Knight

    In simple terms:

    —“contentiousness bearing fruit against a declared aim?”–

    Yes.

    Although, in most cases, gambling regularly is a form of self medication, it is true that people win, and you can’t play if you don’t win. And it’s simply an expensive means of entertainment. And whether entertainment or medication can lead to addiction, which is the very opposite of agency.

    Agency is the sum total of that which leads you to independent action in fulfillment of your ambitions – overcoming (‘overman’) the physical, emotional, intellectual, interpersonal, social, economic, political, military, and knowledge, impediments to a desired end.

    Will to power is an inspiration.

    Agency is its demonstration.

    Omniscience and Omnipotence are it’s ends.

    The transcendence of man into the gods we imagine.
