OMFG. Is there anyone who gives a sh-t what porn you watch? All exposure of accounts will do is make it socially acceptable to talk about your taste in porn, and for the alt right to pepper ‘cucks’ and ‘sjws’ who complain with green frogs.

THE REASON WE USE OPERATIONALISM
the reason we place emphasis on operations is to force the author to articulate causal relations (so we know there is one), and to use a consistent grammar of existence (operation(observer), intention(actor), or experience(perceiver)). Since intentions or experiences are subjective nonsense, we ask for a consistent perspective: the observer. This prevents loading and framing, as well as substituting experiences or intentions for facts.

TEACHING PROPERTARIANISM
ATTN: Michael Andrade
Michael,
At one point you offered me advice on how to structure teaching propertarianism. (But I can’t find it)
Since I’m pretty much done with the project, and just working my way through organizing all my notes and drafting the book, it seems like a good time to offer a class, generate some additional demand, and maybe learn something myself from students and followers.
I can think of sort of three layers of doing it.
1) the ‘idiot’s guide so to speak that covers the main topics but avoids the epistemology and all the analytic arguments. There are a limited number of basic concepts. I can describe them as historical narratives in general terms that most people can grasp. I can cover them in a dozen or so 20 minute conversations. I am pretty sure this is easy to do by video. It’s just ‘watch and learn and ask curt questions in the forum or chat’.
2) the social science guide, which walks through the entire work as a history of incentives. This is rationally rigorous, and touches on the problem of truth without getting into the formal reasoning or formal writing. This is a sort of college level course I think. This course is longer (I don’t know how much longer) and includes Applications: there are about 30 significant ethical issues in the field of politics and each of these takes about six to fifteen minutes to cover. I think these subjects require users to perform a little hand written work – not multiple choice. What I’ll be looking for is the ability to remember the sequences (spectrums) so that at the very least they walk away no longer thinking in ideal types, but spectra.
3) the formal logic guide which teaches the epistemology across all the academic fields, how to construct propertarian arguments, how to write natural law. And how to structure constitutions and various forms of government. I see this as a seminar course of sorts where individuals who have taken the previous classes can learn how to argue against (and defeat) pretty much every standing argument. I do not see how to do this without being able to work with the people directly. It might be possible but it seems very hard to me. I would expect people to walk out of this able to be pretty scary in rhetoric.
Can you give me some of your thoughts?

Q&A: ON PORN – A LITTLE IS ONE THING, TOO MUCH IS A VERY BAD THING
—“Hey Mr. Doolittle. I love your work. If you don’t mind, could you do one of your famous write-ups on the harm of pornography?”—-
Porn is bad for (most) men really. Cuts our dominance and aggression dramatically, and our ambition along with it; and if you watch it enough it will hurt your libido just like many recreational drugs will hurt your pleasure receptors – perhaps permanently.
This has largely to do with the problem of novelty. Male arousal is largely a function of novelty. This is why good relationships combine frequent easy ‘nightly’ sex, with ‘novelty’ (like in places we shouldn’t have sex, or having sex under sneaky but fun circumstances.)
So frequently ‘using’ porn, ‘desensitizes’ your libido and forces you to search for ever increasing novelty to provoke a response. If you do this enough, then it is increasingly difficult to obtain a state of arousal or even ‘interest’ in real life. ESPECIALLY with your stable girlfriend/wife – and this is the problem. You can compensate by avoiding alcohol and pot. You can compensate a bit by physical exercise and competition, but the porn will draw down your desire for it. You can compensate by avoiding it entirely for six months or more. As far as I know you can get past it entirely if you stay away from it for three to four years (which is about duration of the human forgetting curve). But I haven’t seen good data other than about two thirds of men respond positively to long term avoidance of porn.
(Good research esp, out of Italy.)
HOWEVER, there is also research to suggest that the drop in crime among those men with TOO MUCH testosterone (you know who) has a lot to do with the availability of free porn, cheap high fat food loaded with MSG, cable television and video games, more so than any other phenomenon.
And it seems like now-and-then use of porn in your teens, can seriously help release the stress of being a young male. Which honestly, is distracting as hell, and in my memory, was a constant source of aggressive thoughts.
So you know, it’s one of those good and bad things.
If you’re in a regular relationship do not use it, and instead, be a little more creative. Porn is a cheap and easy spice for sex with your regular girl. But you pay for the discount. Instead, try higher investment activities: new places, higher risk, more kinky, or the old fashioned way: more sensual and attentive. (Although my generation was over-taught that strategy).
We have some interesting information from the past few decades of data collection, and it turns out that women like the ‘lower class’ men at times because they ‘think less and feel more’ and do it more aggressively. And just as a woman has a harder time ‘letting go’ in order to ‘get there’, men have to re-learn to ‘let go’ and get her there.
So when with her friends, love your inner gentleman. When you’re arousing, love your inner romantic, and play the romance game. But when in the heat of it, love your inner Gorilla. Surrender to him. Let him go. Use every drop of strength you have to move her. Girls don’t break all that easily. And most of them like the thrill of it. Just how it is.
RUN A BIT.
SPRINT A BIT
PLAY A LITTLE PAINTBALL
LIFT VERY HEAVY THINGS WITH YOUR WHOLE BODY
READ A NON-FICTION BOOK.
GENTLEMAN/ROMANCE/AND GORILLA THE HELL OUT OF HER.

SIMPLE FITNESS CURRICULUM
1 – LIFT A FEW HEAVY THINGS WITH YOUR WHOLE BODY, USING ALL THE STRENGTH YOU CAN MUSTER. TWICE A WEEK.
2 – FREE RUN WITH FRIENDS FOR TWO OR MORE MILES IN THE WILD (PARKS/WOODS/TRAILS) TWICE A WEEK – AND NOT FAST. DO A FEW TELEPHONE-POLE SPRINTS ONE DAY, AS FAST AS YOU CAN, JUST UNTIL YOU’RE TIRED.
3 – PLAY PAINTBALL OR PLAY AT PARKOUR EVERY WEEKEND OR TWO FOR 2-4 HOURS.
4 – EAT ONLY FRESH KILL: MEAT AND VEGETABLES
5 – BOOKS ARE GREAT, BLOGS ARE GOOD, MOVIES ARE OK. TV IS NOT. AND PORN IS BAD FOR YOU (REALLY).
(Basketball is also a good fitness sport – I just suck at it. And so are tennis and racketball – but they’re not team sports and they’re too expensive. Only paintball has the combination of mental and physical stress in a team sport with creativity and initiative instead of rules. And parkour is the riskier alternative, and costs nothing.
I found football actually relaxing because you actually don’t do much, and is too dependent upon your size. Baseball is a game of errors. Paintball doesn’t care about anything except brains, teamwork, and endurance.
WHY? Because most inexpensive individual fitness – especially endurance running and weight lifting – is either not competitive, or do not force you to shock your all the movement muscles in your body. We don’t want physical specialization. We want to beneficially stress the body and then let it recover, in a million different spontaneous ways.
I don’t care much about hand-to-hand other than assassinating someone with a knife. I care mostly about small groups conducting raids that cause infrastructure/political/economic damage, and using the destruction as a means of baiting and ‘eliminating’ the people who come to repair or police it.
This means that they only solution the corrupt state has is to use vast resources to defend a vast number of domestic assets.
It means the military will de-facto be in charge.
Which is the prelude to a coup.
Which is the solution that we want.

THE WESTERN WAY OF WAR – AND WHY IT WORKS.
Just read WILLIAM S LIND, VICTOR DAVID HANSON, MARTIN VAN CREVELD, JOHN KEEGAN and NIAL FERGUSON
Each explains why the western way of war HAS BEEN superior (until now).
For ‘bathroom reading’ I recommend Sun Tzu, and Liddel-Hart. that’s the corpus. that’s all there is to read.
The rest is just playing war games so that you understand
Concentration of forces, maneuver, and supply lines with the available technology.
The conduct of patrol and raids for small groups. And the basics: firing/fire teams/ambush/fields of fire; fitness/liquid, air, temperature body-management; concealment/cover/movement and signals; and emergency medical.
As far as I can tell, playing paintball a lot will get you there if its on a large enough territory. (paintball is a 300’/sec game, instead of a 1000’/sec+ game, and a 350′ game instead a 300 yard game, and paintballs can’t penetrate walls, while you pretty much can’t stop 223 or 762 from penetrating walls.) But since most fighting appears to be urban now, paintball equipment is an excellent and safe training method.
If I had my way, it’d be the primary sport in school, not football. Not the least of which because of injuries, but we don’t fight in legions any longer by pushing and shoving, and with weapons, silence, fitness and endurance are more important than strength. Strength just increases calorie, water, and oxygen consumption. The question is, how long can you fight with a rifle with five other guys, when you’re hungry, thirsty, physically spent, sleepy, and cold?

TO THE NEW ZEALAND PARLIAMENT ON YOUR LATEST VIRTUE-SIGNALING EXERCISE REGARDING TRUMP.
We have a word over here on The Right for men who genuflect before women’s emotionalism as if their feelings equate to material change in state. We call these men ‘cucks’. Short for ‘cuckolds’. And for reasons we can’t quite understand, other than perhaps Australians and New Zealanders have no other achievement or export than virtue-signaling, it seems that members of both governments do little more than produce a virtue-signaling economy of cuckoldry. Why? Because the female vote is bought cheaply with the same meaningless emotional currency as women demand and cuckholds sell. Meanwhile the empirical people in the world, in our financial, commercial, and military economies try to produce material benefits faster than the Red Queen of Virtue Signals can tax them, spend to demonstrate virtue signals for women who are consumers of emotions rather than facts.
This is the reason that democracy is coming to an end. The century of virtue signaling is coming to an end. Because we can no longer produce an unwarranted fraudulent emotional product on the backs of people who create material products, services, and information.
You are not seeing what you think you’re seeing. What you’re seeing is america implode from its own virtue signaling in the face of the universal adoption of consumer capitalism, the end of the Peace of Westphalia, the end of Anglo dominance of the international network of finance and trade, and and the restoration of non-state warfare by religion, demographics, disinformation, and persistent petty raiding that increases cooperative risk – decreasing trust, increasing demand for an authoritarian state to forestall declines in trust, and the economic consequences of political and economic and social distrust.
And just to be clear: it was ‘cucks’ chasing female votes with ‘free lunches’ and virtue signals that brought the end to the Westphalian Peace and the restoration of polycentric warfare by both military, economic, demographic, religious, and disinformational means.
It was women who filled the universities with demand for the Frankfurt schools’ utopian promises, and paid the academy money for anthropological, political, social and economic pseudoscience. Driving up university revenues and impoverishing a generation in old age, so that they could study pseudoscience in large numbers, and vote to expand it.
Can you look the evidence of history in the face? Or will you deny the truth of granting women access to the same responsibilities as men without the same cognitive biases of men, instead of giving women a separate house of parliament, and requiring reconciliation between men and women of different reproductive interests and cognitive biases? Can you look the evidence of history in the face and accept that the English method of creating houses for each class created a market for exchanges of commons between the classes, and that single-house monopoly government, abandonment of natural law in favor of fashionable majoritarianism, further expanded the monopoly – eroding the market for exchanges between the classes.
You are just behind the USA. Britain is smaller so it is just catching up to the USA. But the answer is the same: we had more trouble domesticating women’s hyper-consumption than we did men’s violence. That’s why we invented monogamy: as a trade. We have been battling islam since 700AD when they caused the military collapse of mediterranean trade through raids, and incrementally de-civilized North Africa, Spain, and the Balkans just as they are causing raids against us today. And none of those regions has been able to recover in the centuries since.
So perhaps you should look in the mirror. The world is shifting from the era of a monopoly of pseudoscience, fraud, and lies, to an era of trade once again, between nations and classes and genders.
Why? Because monopolies are always a bad thing that attract the worst people, and a monopoly producer of virtue signals on the backs of producers that sells signals to useful idiots, granted votes by virtue of existence, rather than by demonstrated success in contributing to the commons in a market for reproduction; a market for goods, services, and information; a market for dispute resolution by natural, judge-discovered common law, and a market for the production of commons between the classes, is just the most sophisticated system of selling religion, snake oil, pyramid schemes, and fraud since the church invented the bureaucratization of preaching and the collecting of tithes.
The fool is in the mirror.
