    THE INVERSION

    by Luke Weinhagen

    Oppression is another inversion, mistaking endpoint for start point.

    Western success is the effect, the endpoint, of an increasingly efficient and effectively insured process of self-domestication over time. (the US being an experiment in the protection of investment in self-domestication)

    This has been turned on its head, into starting with rather than finishing with western success. It is being sold that western success is the cause of, the path to, self-domestication and that denying access to that success is why others remain undomesticated – i.e. oppressed.

    (like the Golden Rule stack inversion)

    Those questions that appear big, meaningful, or difficult rarely are – but if deprived of meaningful history (demographics, technology, economics, and law) they appear so.

    1) Corporations: We invented Markets to force cooperation (legislation), Markets to Cooperate in (markets for consumer goods, services, and information), and Markets To Suppress violations of cooperation (Courts.) The State disintermediated the people on purpose from suing corporations, so that they could increase tax revenues. (research coal and rail damage in England). This violates the Common Law tradition of sovereignty and reciprocity decided by tort (trespass) and is easily reversed and restored. There is no reason whatsoever that we lack ‘standing’ to sue corporations (politicians, bureaucrats), in matters of the commons (class actions). Restore it, restore libel and slander. Although hard to do, we might want to restore laws against Shrews and Shrewing (Gossip, undermining, and shrill behavior. look it up. Your screaming leftist would be in stocks for most of our history.)

    2. Free speech. Free speech is not a difficult problem. It became a difficult problem with the end of the Duel, and the extension of that prohibition to prohibition on interpersonal discipline (inflating assault), and inflation into the prohibition on self-defense, defense of marriage, family, and property. There weren’t many extra-judicial punishments in our history but there isn’t much evidence that they weren’t justified. The reason our ancestors were better mannered was that the costs of ill-mannered behavior were high. It’s terribly easy to tell the difference between free and unfree speech: It’s either testifiable, reciprocal (ethical and moral), and warrantable – or it isn’t. If it isn’t testifiable, reciprocal, and warrantable, then its not possible to claim it’s truthful and moral. We test this every single day in courts here and around the world. We prosecute companies every single day. It’s not difficult to extend this law from commercial to political, to intellectual speech. We do it somewhat in the hard sciences – although the soft ‘sciences’ would nearly disappear, and economists would be hanging from lamp posts.

    3. Social Media Companies. Legislation always lags when it doesn’t impact state authority. There is no argument to be made that Google-search (yellow pages, library), Wikipedia (Encyclopedia), Twitter (news), Facebook-messenger (communication), and Youtube-Instagram (publication, media) are not necessary infrastructure. that is indifferent From Electricity, Yellow Pages, Telephone, Network, and Cable. All of which are (heavily) regulated to ensure free movement of information EXCEPT pornography or conspiracy to commit crime.

    4. The underlying problem is whether we are going to preserve the American experiment in the ‘third way’ of Majority Middle-Class Meritocracy under the common law of equals, or revert to continental ( church, aristocracy) division of ruled and rulers, under the Napoleonic (totalitarian) code. The answer is of course, that we can afford to do either, and have immigrated so many underclasses that it’s not possible to preserve our American experiment, in extending the rights of Englishmen, anglo Saxons, germanic peoples, and west Indo-Europeans that has been the secret of our success: Truth before face regardless of cost, Duty before self, sovereignty, reciprocity the jury, and the natural common law of tort. … and the problem it leaves us with. The dirty secret of western civilization is that we have been eugenic since our beginning. And both Christianity in the ancient world and in the modern Boas, Freud, Marx, Adorno et al, Derrida et al, and the current neoliberal -postmodern dogmatists are advancing a host of different ‘re-wildings’ of mankind in order to achieve their ends: ending the eugenic civilization we call the west.

    People were not oppressed. They were domesticated. And that’s what we see in the genetic record.

    WE BE PIRATES!!!

    Piracy, whether on land or sea, is the origin of our civilization’s sovereignty, reciprocity, rule of law, entrepreneurialism, and contractualism. Piracy is FUN and PROFITABLE. And if you take notice: North America is a red sea with blue islands. We just need to re-train our brethren to return to their heritage and the same process the Muslims used in the old world, will reverse the process the enemy used in the modern world.

    JEFFERSONIAN, EUROPEAN, ARISTOTELIAN

    —“[Jefferson was a Deist.] Most deists denied the Christian concepts of miracles and the Trinity. Though he had a lifelong esteem for Jesus’ moral teachings, Jefferson did not believe in miracles, nor in the divinity of Jesus. In a letter to deRieux in 1788, he declined a request to act as a godfather, saying he had been unable to accept the doctrine of the Trinity “from a very early part of my life”.[17][24] In an 1820 letter to his close friend William Short, Jefferson stated, “it is not to be understood that I am with him [Jesus] in all his doctrines. I am a Materialist; he takes the side of Spiritualism; he preaches the efficacy of repentance toward forgiveness of sin; I require a counterpoise of good works to redeem it.”[25] In 1824, four years later, Jefferson had changed on his view of the “materialism” of Jesus, clarifying then that “… the founder of our religion, was unquestionably a materialist as to man.”—

    “I REQUIRE A COUNTERPOISE OF GOOD WORKS TO REDEEM IT.” ie: your faith is irrelevant. Only your deeds matter. Because from every experience I have seen, those who hide behind faith use it as a shield of moral cowardice, selfishness, and self-delusion, under which they can pretend moral righteousness while doing precisely the opposite. If you must sell your religion by your words, you have no religion to sell.

    GODS

    My understanding is that gods are archetypal Despots, kings, priests, or parents, and that deism is nothing more than the anthropomorphism of physical and natural laws, and that as populations increased, man required religion because of the alienation of agrarianism and urbanism, just as man desires marxism, socialism, statism, postmodernism, feminism, and the various new age, occult, and Buddhist pseudosciences to compensate. And that the stoics and epicureans understood the problem was solved through training (stoicism) and restoration of social orders (epicureanism) that created mindfulness by mental training, and socialization, that are natural consequences of tribal life, and absent in social, economic, and political life at scale.

    I pray to my god all the time. and I do what he advises me. And I usually pay for it if I don’t. I do not know his name. But it certainly is not that vile evil demon Jehova and is far more likely Thor/Zeus/Dayus-Pitar, or their material agents Aristotle and Odin. And if I seek wisdom of great men in history I find it in Hayek, Jefferson, Frederick the great, henry 8th, Ceasar, alexander, and most of all Aristotle. I don’t see it in the nonsense of filthy, superstitious, thieving lying, sheep-f—king foulness of our mortal enemy. Increasingly I prefer Odin(chaos) and Aristotle(order) who are two sides of the same coin.

    Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are a disease, the consequences of which are systemic lying by their participants, and all the consequences that result.

    They owe us a dark age, the great plagues, endless wars,m lost peoples, lost civilizations, lost knowledge, and a billion dead. And in the hell that is history, they will burn forever as the worst people to have walked this earth.

    There is only one debt existential – that is to our ancestors who made us possible, the heroes that defended and advanced them, the natural world that sustains us, and the universe for the opportunity.

    Philosophers are born I think. But they still must find a team to play on. Look at the Damned P-leadershp now. These guys are scaring me. It’s glorious. Luke is innovating and increasingly quickly. Brendon is increasingly judicial in his rulings. Martin … well, martin is that elegant balance of considerate, and correct. Alain is likewise, friendly and explicative. We see our Anonymous James back around here and there – and he is very likely, if he chooses, to run away with yet another level of sophistication. And I’m staring to see others come up now that are clearly trying.

    Some days I just want to say fk it. Other days I wanna cry with joy that this kind of thing is even possible. I hope we have time. If we have time we will have our school that reverses the second abrahamic dark age of ignorance and deceit.
