( Sentimental Moment: I watch videos of russia or ukraine and brings tears to my eyes because I want to be there. It’s so hard to stay in the States and watch your civilization die every day. I love those people and that culture. )
—“I’m really trying to wrap my head around this whole P”—
That’s why you’re not blocked. 🙂
—“Who decides what?”—
Natural law is operationally decidable. No “one” decides; someone makes a ruling based on the actual situation measured against reciprocity. (Contract between sovereigns are honored).
P takes 6 months for bright people to grasp. And I mean 6 months of studying AND following along. The pay out is 1000 fold; I suggest everyone makes the investment. As you (all) are in its way.
3. $1T+ necessary for core state finance of military.
4. Petro-Currency+Reserve Currency needed to finance military needed for Great Power status.
5. Iran can take entire gulf oil supply by Kuwait and Saudis and already have people in the area.
6. Together Iran can achieve both core state of islamic civilization and dominate the region, and obtain Great Power status and heavily influence world affairs.
World cannot tolerate fundamentalist islamic expansionary, militant nuclear iran with control over world oil reserve,and energy prices. Iran is not USA/UK trying to spread rule of law, human rights, science, medicine, tech, commercial prosperity. 10x as bad as China as enemy.
Instead, decimate Iranian military capacity, and economy, pull in competing middle eastern states, and let islamic civilization slowly modernize over generations, and USA can leave. Otherwise another world war and 100’s of millions dead.
This is how grownups see the world.

—“Yeah I will buy this read. Another way to look at it is that it would be irresponsible of the major powers to let radicals who got rich by luck (sitting on oil) have a de facto veto over all world political decisions via nuclear weapons. The ME states never had to fully mature or develop responsible and functional institutions.”—Michael Churchill
Religion for the -80’s, Moralizing for the 90’s, Rationalization for the 100’s. platonism for the 110’s empiricism for the 120’s. operationalism for the 130’s+
There is a reason for islam in the arab and indonesian worlds, and hinduism in the hindustani worlds. buddhism on se asian. christianity in the south american, secular christianity in the european world, confucianism in the east asian world etc.
The majority determines the necessary means of preserving the means of perpetuating metaphysics traditions and norms.
The west retains a grammar (method of storytelling) for every standard deviation of ability.
We are unified by our law that is via negativa. We are unified by our ethics that are christian via-positiva. Those chrstian ethics are expressible in theological, rational, philosophical, empirical and operational terms.
—“The dissident right wing is split on Aristotle and Plato. You being an Aristotelian and someone like Richard Spencer being a Platonist. Save the West with science and law for the Aristotelian vs Save the West with justification and idealism for the Platonist.”—Clown Baby @ClownBa73413423
Correct. Aristotelian < Platonist < Theologian. The three grammars of cognitive development. Empathic, Narrative, Theological > Rational, Ideal, Platonist > Empirical Measurement Aristotelian. The brain evolves in that order. It’s not a mystery why we preserve the use all three. But why don’t other civ’s?
Feel drag along (Comfort) – Empirical Measurement Aristotelian
Every group has a competitive (evolutionary) strategy at its formation. We develop narratives (excuses) and rules to persist that strategy, while maintaining some form of reciprocity. Once entrenched these are almost impossible to change.
There are a limited number of properties to these strategies. I haven’t disambiguated them yet, but at the general level they’re the nature of the world, the nature of man, the ‘right’ organization of the hierarchies to conduct and persist that strategy, and ‘right action’ within it. The norms and language vary according to the stage of development and long term demands.
These rules allow us to habituate, predict, and calculate our actions giving us the perception of the constancy of the universe by minimizing the complexity of our cognitive costs.
We are superpredators after all, and it’s amazing that we can cooperate in such vast numbers.
—“The flaw is male hierarchies are infinitely scalable. Female hierarchies are not scalable; they degenerate and collapse as their social control systems weaken in groups past dunbar’s number. Sucessful grandmothers would’ve held the balance of power in tribal life. This control was then passed to churches, allowing for larger populations to work together. Men are an army; women are a coven.”—Andrew M Gilmour
