Curious watchful boys and precocious incessantly talkative little girls. Families rock.

(Cultural observations)
Overhearing an uncomfortable negotiation between bankers, suppliers, and distributors. Usual stuff. Not masked by american hyper-sensitive political language.
update: interesting statement: the people in the government can still steal money but they can’t spend it the way the used to without getting caught.

THE CONTRACT OF ARISTOCRATIC COOPERATION
We prefer to cooperate morally – meaning beneficially – with you.
If we cannot cooperate beneficially with you on fully moral terms – meaning without parasitism, then we have only four choices:
1) Pay the cost of your parasitism and suffer the consequences, in exchange for avoiding the cost of defending against your parasitism.
2) Boycott you and bearing the costs of boycotting you in exchange for avoiding the cost of transforming you into a moral individual or group.
3) Colonize you and bear the cost of evolving you, in exchange for creating a valued member of mankind.
4) Conquering you and bearing the cost of exterminating you in exchange for freedom from your parasitism.
So, you have a choice: limit your actions to productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary transfer, constrained to externalities under the same conditions.
Or we will eventually colonize and reform you, or conquer and exterminate you.
You may have the ambition of mere survival. Our ambition is to make mankind moral. For it is only in moral mankind that the evil and immoral are exterminated forever.

Q&A: “Curt, why do you use ‘humans’ and ‘they’ instead of ‘people’ and ‘we’?”
Because I am never sure what people hear when I say ‘we’ or ‘us’. So I make it clear that I’m making a universal statement about man, and acknowledging myself as a possible outlier, rather than casting us all as equal.

You know when african friends talk about white colonialism I just acknowledge that my ancestors – at least politically – thought that they were doing the right thing. And that it created malincentives. And that it turned into the very wrong thing. I can’t really apologize for it.
When my ancestors conquered north america, I don’t really face any conflict because primitive-is-primitive, and if you can’t evolve them into peers, then you can’t cooperate with them. But I don’t take pride in their conquest.
When my ancestors invaded England and ‘normanized’ the anglo saxons, I realize that this was a very bad thing for my kin, europa, and mankind.
When my ancestors advocated puritanism, stood against the Crown, and against the south, I acknowledge that they were wrong.
When thy created democracy they were wrong. And democracy has been a tragic failure.
When my kin evolved that puritanism into feminism and humanism, they were wrong. And caused a lot of harm.
The reason I don’t feel bad is that my ancestors brought reason, law, science, and all sorts of technology with them. Converted reason into science, and dragged man out of ignorance and poverty.
And I am fully aware that the reason for their skill at this technology was dependent upon their skill at war, which gave them competitive advantage in commerce.
YET, when I criticize other groups, and they defend themselves, and they make excuses. Rather than saying ‘yeah’, we really fucked up the world, and owning it.
They’re just engaging in lying. They won’t engage in reformation.
So, as the people who reform, we must reform not only ourselves, but reform others.
Else we cannot raise them to peerage and cooperate on equal terms.
Propertariansim, Testimonialism, Nomocracy, Market Commons.
