    IN THE LONG RUN…

    Communism doesn’t’ work because people are selfish, and minimize their productivity whenever possible. So it rapidly degenerates into authoritarianism.

    Fascism doesn’t work because people are selfish and use power to create authoritarianism by incremental control of every fascism of life.

    Social Democracy doesn’t work because people are selfish and use majority rule to maximize rents and redistributions until the polity is unable to adjust to shocks, resulting in the only means of governance fascism of totalitarianism.

    Classical Democracy worked reasonably well because the houses formed a market for exchanges between classes in homogenous nations. But people are selfish, and despite the common law, use of majority rule that overrides common law create the opportunity and incentive to seek rents and construct social democracy.

    Nomocratic Capitalism will works best because natural law both allows only productive, fully informed, warrantied trade and prohibits externalities, whether in private or common markets because it enforces trades rather than justified-takings, and because it is impossible to obtain power since the only power is consent (rule of law).

    Anarcho-capitalism doesn’t work because that much selfishness prohibits the formation of the commons necessary for the competitive survival of a polity.

    THE END OF HOPE AND THE VIRTUE OF VIOLENCE

    —‘yadda yadda yadda, nonsense, nonsense, nonsense, shaming, shaming shaming, straw man, straw man, straw man”— Aaron Werner (via Discus)

    If you are ‘hopeful’ you try to inform, and then persuade.

    if you have given up hope, you can try to buy them off.

    If you cannot buy them off, you can only use violence to stop them.

    I changed the discourse from hope of requesting Liberty by faith in informing and persuading, to the hopelessness of persuasion, and the imposition of Sovereignty, by the organize use of violence to deny parasitism by all means.

    We are all but creatures of our genes. You, your genes, we, ours. We are no longer hopeful. We are no longer willing to tolerate the high cost of hopefulness that you and the minority of men like you, and the majority of women who you are like, will learn.

    We will end parasitism via the commons just as we have ended it in the market. We will deny others the possibility of majority tyranny, and force those who benefit from parasitism by the government, or parasitism by free riding on the west’s commons, back into the markets for the private and common .

    If you fool me once with Pilpul, divine command, and christianity, shame on me. If you fool me twice with marxism, libertinism, neo-conservatism, the pseudo-rationalism of critical theory, and the pseudosciences of boaz, marx, freud, cantor, and mises, then same on me.

    The experiment in tolerance is over. Maxwell, Darwin, Spencer, Nietzsche, and Davenport were right. Time to return to our ancient occupation of domesticating the animals (which I assume includes you) for fun and profit in an effort to create peers rather than parasites.

  • dunno. I think I attribute most of my issues are the delayed emotional maturity

    https://www.quora.com/Whats-it-like-to-have-a-150-IQ-Is-life-easierI dunno. I think I attribute most of my issues are the delayed emotional maturity due to autism, and not IQ itself. The issues are all social and career issues.

    BADS

    (a) I cannot ‘switch gears’. and even lateral thinking is hard for me. I had to learn how to do it. Even so, if I look at my life’s failures, they are all failures of cutting bait (switching gears) because I can see solutions, but they are not achievable with the people (resources) at my disposal. And amplified because I cannot judge other people well. Every failure I have in my life is due to a combination of inability to switch gears, inability to judge others, but the ability to find solutions, and then misjudging the cost of others ability to achieve them. I try to do too much with people.

    (b) I had to work very, very, hard a socialization. I still do. It seems like I am very good at it. but it’s not natural. I taught myself ‘small talk’, and how to enjoy it.

    (c) I like to ‘fit in’. I like people. But it’s very *lonely*. Although I think the internet has made it easier for all of us to find each other.

    (d) it is nearly impossible to work for anyone, because they seem so stupid that it’s just painful. And I cannot feign otherwise (for long).

    (e) getting hired is almost impossible since you’re incomprehensible and hard to imagine ‘fitting in’. Particularly if you want a ‘joe job’ where you have time to think. It’s like you have no choice except sales, leadership, and management. All of which consume think-time. Conversely you can’t do jobs like accounting since they’re so tedious and boring that you can’t stand it.

    (f) the dating pool is very, very, limited unless you work at training yourself (i did, and still do). And what I value isn’t necessarily present in other high iq women. I like femininity.

    (g) i used to be very impatient with people, and it was by a very christian like ‘infinite tolerance and love’ that I learned to both love, tolerate, and enjoy others. In my 20’s I changed from frustration to outright trying to help every person I met in even the smallest way possible even if it meant just helping them smile. I worked hard to be a teacher rather than a judge. And it was soooooo good for me that it changed my life dramatically. “The world is built for average people” it is not built for us. We are a luxury good for man. They in the middle are the reproductive evolutionary necessity. And the people at the bottom an impediment.

    (h) I cannot read people, judge people, and need ‘a woman’ around to do that for me. In fact, I am highly dependent upon women for providing me with ‘human’ information. I can use it well once I have it but i cannot ‘sense’ it.

    (j) I overestimate people all the time and I can’t stop it, becuase I can’t at all distinguish between what is obvious to me and what is not obvious to others. I mean…. this is one of my major failures.

    GOODS

    (a) Impatience with everything is an issue. I can’t do anything where there are a lot of external dependencies, or things that require a lot of wrote repetition. I have to feel continuous evolution or I get frustrated.

    (b) I see (sense) patterns ‘on the limits (off in the far distance) immediately, and I think in patterns very, very, very quickly. (You wouldn’t believe how fast I can read a paper, digest it, and write a response to it.)

    (c) learning certain things is trivial (stuff you need to sense distant causal relations), some easy, (stuff you need to imagine or model). But learning other things not (stuff you need to feel), or stuff you need to remember (morse code). Hence my interest in philosophy(information accumulation by ‘wide domain searching’) vs chess (information accumulation by ‘narrow domain searching’). This is a bit like saying intuition(wide searching) vs reason(narrow seraching). I am definitely an intuitionistic (INTP) not rational (INTJ) thinker. And why I like to work in teams with a conservative(skeptical) woman, and a man who is an INTJ. I don’t really ‘work’ the way an INTJ thinker works. I just put information in and the ‘demon’ (autistic O.C.D.) does all the work because it hates not understanding ‘order’.

    Hence why I say I am not sure I am all that smart, I am just ‘gifted’. Smart people in my view have superior short term memories, and so are good stateful activities like math. I’m not ‘smart’. I consider myself more of a genius (that isn’t a compliment) it means that it’s a gift, not a disciplined thinker. What I have done is learn to ‘not try to be smart’ but to just ‘take time’. It’s a ‘creative’ not analytic cognitive process. Hence I am slower than ‘smart people’ at solvable tasks, faster at identifying patterns, I will absolutely positively solve the unsolvable tasks. Thats the thing: I *WILL* “figure it out”. Period. Doesn’t matter what domain its in. I will master the field, and find that answer. But if you want someone to calculate a tactic rather than to identify a strategy I’m the wrong guy.

    (c) it is impossible to really be bored. I used to keep a book with me at all times to prevent having ‘anger issues’. Now I have enough in my head I can run on my own memories.

    (d) material wants are very limited. Unfortunately it took me a long time to realize that i don’t really need to be wealthy to think for a living. I just need to want fewer material things to acquire, own, and maintain. Living overseas in one room in a hotel with nothing but technology and my wardrobe helped me understand that.

    (e) competing in business is …. so easy it’s …almost not worthwhile. In fact, at this point, business problems are almost entirely an issue of convincing dumber people what they need to do, and convincing those who cannot sense see or understand a vision on the horizon of its outrageous returns in exchange for limited inputs.

    Net is that all the problems are social. Otherwise gifts are nice.

    That’s what I got….

    The reason for festivals and rituals is to provide opportunities for those for whom suppression of impulse is very costly to recharge their inventory of discipline in an environment that is sanctioned by the polity, while under their eye, showing you are not a danger to them; and to provide opportunities to learn the suppression of impulses necessary for the polity through safety and insurance in its shelter. And to demonstrate one is worthy of their sanction. The reason for law is to punish those impulses where not sanctioned by the polity. Both the sanction of excesses and the practice of indoctrination into the sacred, use the pack response to bind us through ‘thick plenty, and thin scarcity’.

    Men demonstrate the behavior of pack animals, and women, herd animals. But these are non-trivial emotions we feel. And our celebrations of release in plenty, and disciplines of sanctity in scarcity provide opportunity for outliers to show themselves, and opportunity for everyone else to find sanction, and opportunity for our elites to provide venues for their imitation.

    I am not fond of regulations that create black-markets. I’m fond of preventing visibility in the commons. if distributing drugs is legal but a hand-craft industry between individuals, and there is no externality produced by it then that’s one thing. But what one must understand is that there is a difference between a vacation, medication, and mental-exit. We can all tolerate vacations (celebrations), and some of us need frequent medications. But if at any point one is exiting the use of reason, then one is exiting the constract of cooperation. And if you exit the contract of cooperation by forgoing reason, and you cause externalities, you have returned to animal state, and like any animal you are merely a pest that needs to be exterminated.

    In my opinion, this is the correct method of addressing the problem of drugs (and ideas) that affect one’s reason (and pleasure sensors).

    if you are human, and can participate in reciprocity then you are a candidate for cooperation, and not a burden on others. Otherwise you’re just an animal that may at times be capable of cooperation, and other times not. And as an animal rather than a human you can easily be exterminated like any other pest.

    Josh: I think maybe this is the difference between our perceptions: I favor the cost of institutional solutions that produce incentives by self interest that make the cost of providing the high cost of violence unnecessary. Because while violence alters immediacy, the cost of diligence and the distraction of shocks means the incentive to retaliate against you remains. Yet if institutions exist at all times and cause people to monitor each other, vastly more dramatic shocks are necessary to cause a change in state, and when you are otherwise occupied you do not leave an opening for retaliation and change in state.

    I express this sometimes as the difference between strategy and tactics. But perhaps I needed to say this in terms of costs and opportunities.

    If men(or women) are incapable of sovereignty, then maturing them into freemen by the use of institutions is merely cheaper, more competitive, more rewarding, and safer than the alternatives.

    This is nothing except a statement of the cost of domesticating animals.

    The Spartans were never as safe as the Romans. The Romans over extended. But the Spartans couldn’t even extend.

    I’m pretty fond of ‘ordinary folk’. The most immoral people I’ve ever met in my life are engaged in the arts, entertainment, politics, law, and finance.

    And I say that with full knowledge of the difference between objectively moral art, policy, law, and finance. The fact that we fail to incrementally suppress crimes of art, policy, law, and finance, is merely the fault of moral men to use violence to create the means of suppression: expansion of natural law.

    via pm: —“i’m afraid of josh”– (anon)

    Yes well that’s probably the right thing to feel. But good criticism is very hard to find. I learn a lot from his.

    The truth is that people should be afraid of most of us. “Moral Clarity” that gives us “Moral Authority” for which we are willing to risk life and limb in an effort to save our civilization is something to be sought, but not feared.

    We need more of it. 🙂
