—“a full-blown Russian invasion would eviscerate Moscow’s relationship with the West, rendering Russia a raw-material appendage of China.”—

THE LIMITS OF REASON VS THE POWER OF OVERLOADING
How do we measure the limits of reason that can be exceeded by overloading?
Is it possible to create a normative (habituated) method of thinking that prohibits overloading?
Is a requirement for operational definitions enough to prevent overloading? I have been working under the assumption that it is. But the more I study the use of deceit by overloading, the less sure I am.
How do I develop a test of overloading?

We are the people of Sovereignty.
They are the people of Submission.
These first properties are irreconcilable.

RULE OF LAW IS SACRED TO WESTERN MAN
–“our prophet is sacred to us”–
Rule of law is more sacred than our lives. Rule of law requires we speak, and understand the truth, not myth. The reason for the velocity of western advancement in all fields is that we tell the truth whether it hurts or not, whether it offends or not, a man must earn respect by speaking the truth, not myth, rather than receive respect for his folly. Western man has systematically eliminated error from mans mind by demanding the truth in all walks of life.
As a political question then, why does a man have a right to believe false things? We cannot stop him from his beliefs in false things, but we can stop him from spreading his beliefs in false things. We can prevent it from his speech. We can prevent it from his publications. We can prevent it from his commerce, his law, and his politics.
The source of western exceptionalism is truth telling – even if it hurts.
Muslims living in the west are not given special privilege to escape our most sacred value: truth.

Stieglitz is up to his usual tricks again. Immoral men. Promoting immoral economics. Correctly stating that the euro needs to end, or that the euro must support transfers as does America.
But America is coming apart over theses transfers.
I have merged morality, philosophy, law and science.
I have corrected Austrian economics.
But to displace immoral economics with moral economics is a job that will require imposition of prohibitions on immoral and unethical law and policy.
It matters far less what people speak if we can punish actions.

TRYING TO UNDERSTAND UKRAINIAN SELF PERCEPTION
Ukrainians are Europeans -and- Muscovites are Mongols.
Ukraine is a borderland whose people want to choose to stay with Christian Europe instead of be captured by the Muscovite Mongols.
The Muscovites adopted the “Rus” viking name as an act of self-legitimization, but in fact they are not Rus (Vikings). They are Muscovites.
Despite modernization attempts by the nobility (St Petersburg),
They think and act as mongols.
80% of Ukrainians self identify as european.
80% of Russians (Muscovites) identify as asian.
MY POSITION
We assume because they look like us and are tangibly christian that they are just misguided eastern europeans. But they are an amalgamation of people trapped between europe on the north, muslims in the south, asians in the east, and they have adopted whatever is useful from each competing polity.
We had hoped, Gorbachev had hoped, that we would unite the circumpolar people: europe and russia again.
I hoped the same.
But russians always make the wrong decision.
Another 10 years and russia would have civilized and owned europe.
America would have been unwelcome and unnecessary on the continent with russian warriors to protect them, and russian resources to make use of.
The western right could have conquered the western left and saved the west.
But russians always make the wrong choice.
The long term is never possible for them.
Only the short term.
