(note: he speaks in a sort of drawl – an emotive, expressive, pedantic and slow speech-pattern that he is as hard to listen to at first. But you get used to it after a bit, and he’s worth it.)

His “Underground History Lesson”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj8f7ycnUtU

Spends his life teaching every spectrum of society.

(He is a catholic it seems, but german grandfather)

He has great respect for the underclass. He is an equalitarian.

1) His position is that no people are irredeemable. This is true. I agree. But he’s still making an aristocratic argument because it’s in and of itself not nihilistic, not accommodating, not facilitating, but Paternalistic, Aristocratic, and Monarchic.

He’s a CHRISTIAN (equalitarian) aristocrat not an ARYAN (hierarchical) aristocrat. In other words he does not see the different strategies in the agrarian farmer of secure island England, and the defensive agrarian farmer in insecure Germany (and the rest of the world.).

2) He is a critic of aristocracy, but because of its affect on education. He is correct. But he misdiagnoses the cure as POSITIVE (action->education->religion->norm), rather than NEGATIVE (reaction -> law -> markets -> norms) with which we ASSIST people by educating with evidence rather than fantasy, tradition, or hypothesis.

Physical Law, Law (Natural Law), Economy, Fertility/Prosperity, High arts, and Monuments, are empirical evidence of that which we should teach. And education is assistive, not causal. We do not make agreat civilization through education without first knowing what it is that we have empirically determined that we should educate them with.

He confuses or conflates

– Religion, Tradition, CULTURE and Education

— vs —

– Law, History, MARKET, and Education

In other words, he failed to grasp that education – while dialectic (question, discourse, and debate) is missing from eduaction in order to create slaves – that hes describing a market for the acquisition of knowledge that survives competition, and that western civilization is not based upon this constant ‘markets in everything’ that he may or may not understand he values. information(truthful discourse dialectice and debate), dispute resolution (juried courts), market economy, competing houses of parliament, and even the voluntary market for marriage and family. the west = aristocracy and aristocracy = markets in everything = the market for questions and answering and inquiry and skepticism that he values so highly.

(I say this because he is wrong about hierarchy and diversity.) From the SCIENCE, we know that we create better, happier people with greater consumption, and a better happier society with greater opportunity, and a wealthier nation, more assets, more technology, and more arts and monuments with education. So that we can IMPROVE EVERYONE.

That is not the same thing as saying that the market sorts us by ability and that the normal distribution of talents will not simply shift, thereby improving everyone, while maintaining everyone’s relative position.

It may be true that even the worst families may produce a meritocratic child. It is however very evident that each class produces fewer worse offsrping, and more better offspring as class raises. This is just science.

(very important insight -> )

3) He fails to grasp that the class system produces a market for FAMILIES to invest in themselves and their reproductive quality not a means of constraining individuals from success independently of family. A family is the central unit of western (and all non-slave) social orders. Western tradition for thousands of years from family, to manor, to monarchy is simply a hierarchy of families (rather than corporations) whose status and achievement is determined by the family as an organization not the individual as a member of a corporation. In other words, western civilization is evolutionarily eugenic – because it creates a market for families, not individuals.

INDIVIDUALS AND CORPORATIONS VS FAMILIES AND NATIONS

The fact that our LAWS must target individuals has to do with the necessity that individuals act (and families, tribes, and nations insure), is separate from that our POLICies must target families so that we continue to eugenically improve.

4) He blames thinkers more so than the economy, which is normal for an educator, but people simply react to opportunity. The reason for the failure of our age is both American due to the industrial revolution, the conteinental expansion, the consequent opportunism, the civil war’s destruction of the rule of law, and the advent of a new pseudoscientific ‘religion’: boaz, marx, freud, cantor, mises, keynes, and Adorno’s frankfurt school, and the opportunity that was created by the (usual) thirty years war of the oppression of germany, just as the north had oppressed the south.

In each era, some dominant model of thinking arises to reflect the greatest extent of our knowledge because the extent of our knowledge increases explanatory power, and therefore argumentative authority over prior less explanatory and correspondent models of thought.

The combination of the industrial revolution, (false) equalitarianism, marxism,socialism,world communism (french/russiah/jewish), with the rise in anglo and american empires and their expansionary commercial utopianism, and the inability of the recently unified germans to express in political terms what they expressed in arts, intellect, science, by restoring germanic and hanseatic civilization, is more responsible for the emphasis on industrialization than the people who took advantage of it for reasons of profit and used ideology as an excuse.

MY THOUGHTS:

THE WEST IS AN EMPIRICAL CIVILIZATION

We use markets to calculate truth.

Makets in discourse for information

Markets for dispute resolution in courts

Markets for commons between houses of parliaments.

Markets for goods and services in the economy

Markets for reproduction in voluntary marriage

Markets for voluntary association and cooperation

THE HIERARCHY OF TESTS IN THE WEST

– Individual accountability (ethical, moral, rule of law)

– Individual discipline (hygene, dress, manners, ethics, morals)

– Individual productivity (voluntary exchagne)

– Family productivity (marriage and family accountability)

– Business productivity (business, industry, and financial acctblty)

– Commons productivity (houses of commons one per class)

– National Productivity (monarchy, judiciary, military)
