Rule of Religion used ostracization for non-conformity to norms.
Rule of law used punishment for failure to respect property rights.
Rule of credit used deprivation for failure to keep pace with the red queen.
Rule of slavery was immoral as hell but to some degree necessary.
Rule of serfdom was immoral but survivable.
Rule of religion was imperfect but arguably moral
Rule of law was perfect but certainly moral
Rule of credit is absolutely positively immoral.
Consumer capitalism is one thing.
Rule by credit is simply the most effective kind of slavery ever invented.
End the ability to weaponize credit.

YES, I’LL TALK TO YOU. IT’S MY JOB TO TALK TO YOU 🙂
I do interviews, podcasts, or just chats.
I prefer that if I haven’t talked to you before at length, that you send me a list of topics or questions that you’d like to cover.
I like a few day’s notice.
And I prefer that we talk about Propertarianism.
Because I am not a chat buddy, advice columnist, dating consultant, or career counselor. I’m a political philosopher.
If it’s about my work, then It’s my job. It’s not an imposition. Ok?
Cool. 😉

(Questions by James Ragsdale. My favorite posts. And often, the only questions worth considering in public forums. Especially philosophy blogs. Unfortunately, they are also the questions that require effort-posting to answer. On the other hand, it’s a joy to know that someone else cares about the questions that are hard to answer by other than introspective appeal to sentiments in the near absence of reason and evidence. Which is an abstruse means of thanking you James for making the world a less lonely place for a philosopher. 😉 )

—“The leftists think that we are just shouting lunatics, they do not understand how much our learning progresses with each-other, they think we hate every-one, but they do not see our camaraderie and fraternity, in many affairs, in how we greet each-other, warm expressions of love, and how we are slowly moving forward in intellectual domains and leaving them behind.
They having nothing comparable to things like this; all they do is gossip. Are there even learned leftists today? All they do is ruin the hour.”—Ricky Saini

Berens on the Axial Age
The Axial Age Origins of Western Dynamism
—“The ‘Faustian Soul’/Martial Spirit of the West was inherited from the bronze-age steppe raiders (IE). Steppe lands and a pastoral way of living selects for aggression. And with the invention of chariot warfare, the IE where able to dominate/out compete/conquer neighboring peoples. During this period, religious justification goes from “we live in a world of uncertainty and we should work together” to “we have agency and can act to change our condition (just like the gods).”
It is important to note the origin of the western ethos, which incentivized dominance, truth, hyper-agency (sovereignty). Naturally, this spawned resistance movements or counter-enlightenments, which–as reactions–responded with submission, lies, and collectivism.
Furthermore, the martial spirit, or propensity for dominance, permeates every aspect of traditional occidental society. When we channel dominance, rather than suppress it, to productive ends–what we call a market for heroism–we increase the velocity of the production of commons. We limit the expression of dominance through natural law (prohibitions on predation & parasitism) , so that the only means to acquire status is through production (this includes production of commons: information, cultural, aesthetic, defense, etc).
The West benefited from creating a market for dominance (heroism). The rest either suppressed dominance (River Lands/Flood Plains), or resisted domestication (desert lands/ harsh lands).”—James Augustus Berens

—“They Aryan mind: limiting emotional input (noise)(laundering bias), so our calculations reflect the natural more accurately and so we act more effectively, and so that our wills are expressed more clearly (hyperagency) We transcended the animal, the instinctual, the emotional.”—James Augustus Berens

—“Postmodernist society is incapable of creating new culture or symbols to define itself or give its existence meaning or purpose. Hipsterism is the postmortem on the last 40 years of western cultural history. The age of irony, shitty music and boring fashion. We’re stuck in a perpetual feedback loop of faux liberation and rebellion. We should stop trying to salvage it and make something new and entirely separate. Or hit the reset button and try to avoid this postmodern milieu stage entirely. “—Murray Sell
