    PROPERTARIANISM VS NEOREACTION (NRx)

    (draft)

    I tend to see Propertarianism as Post-Neo-Reactionary. Although, it may be more accurate to position NRx as a rationalist program in the continental and moral traditional, and Propertarianism as an analytic program in the anglo scientific tradition – but both making the same criticism: the evolution of the cathedral, the failure of the enlightenment program, and the necessity to return to modernity (science) and away from postmodernism (pseudoscience, cosmopolitanism and neo-puritanism).

    The most important difference is that Propertarianism is not so much reactionary as it is revolutionary. In that literally I am working on a program to cause a revolution. However, I don’t recommend a return to the past at all, but an evolution of the classical liberal model of government that serves the wants and needs of post-industrial individuals, families (or lack of), societies, economies.

    Propertarianism—-NeoReaction

    Scientific————-Rational

    Analytic————–Allegorical

    Solution————-Criticism

    Legal—————–Moral

    Progressive——–Reactionary

    Prescriptive——–Descriptive

    Institutional———Technical

    (truth: I lucked out in no small part ’cause I was good-looking enough to compensate for the liability. People give you lots of leeway if you’re attractive. And if you smile a lot, work at having good manners and listen to them carefully, they give you even more. But man it was very hard to be a child in my part of the world in that era. Damn. I haven’t thought about it much, but believe it or not I didn’t say much either. And that helped too. No point talking when no one understands you – smiling and listening work better. Books are your friends. Today kids like us have internet, computers and other toys to amuse ourselves with. But a small farm town with three television channels is a pretty boring place for an infovore. )

    NORTH SEA TRUTH VS LEVANTINE CRITIQUE

    (profound)(group evolutionary strategies)(macro-sociology)

    Once you grasp that Cosmopolitan (Marxist-Socialist, Libertine, Neoconservative) Critique is an attempt at exclusionary authoritarianism – a modern restatement of the technique applied in Jewish argument and law – it becomes fairly obvious why the combination of (a) desire for obscurant arguments to be true, (b) emotional and intellectual investment in the truth of these obscurant arguments, and (c) hostility to refutation, are so pervasive: 1) psychological utility obtained from intuitional moral ‘righteousness’, 2)group unity in that moral conviction, and 3) ostracization of non-believers on the other, are precisely what ‘separatists’ require of a religion.

    However, this modern set of religions is pseudo-scientific and pseudo-rational rather than legal, mystical and monotheistic in verbal construction. But the verbal construction is merely a technological advancement over monotheistic mythology, and jewish dual-ethics-law.

    Northern europeans used truth, property and fighting as the binding commitment to one another, not belief. We used opportunity to join success in a hostile landscape, and they used threat of ostracization in among hostile tribes. We are all the product of our ancient geographies.

    The strategies of the weak and small in number, versus the strong and small in number. Both Jewish and Germanic systems of thought evolved for use by small populations.

    You will take notice which strategy leads to the construction of vast civilizations, technology, art, science and medicine, and what the other led to – near extermination.

  • Yes, well I know we are arguing ‘Autistically’, by which you mean ‘caclulatively

    Yes, well I know we are arguing ‘Autistically’, by which you mean ‘caclulatively’ rather than ‘intuitively’. But that is not a criticism, any more than employing any other form of logic or calculation is open to criticism. The question is only whether we are making statements that are more truthful than the statements you make with your intuition. And we can demonstrate that our statements are more truthful than your intuition. Which should not be surprising, since your intuition quite often lies not only lies to you, but causes you to unknowingly lie to the rest of us.

    it is a bit hard to replace your normatively acquired moral intuitions with formal logic of cooperation. But you can do it. And when you do, the world of man is a clear to you as the physical world is to the mathematician and physicist.

    SO LIBERALISM WAS NOT, AND IS NOT, DEMOCRACY?

    (clarifying post)

    QUESTION: “Liberalism is not democracy. Is that a true-enough statement to make?”

    ANSWER: I think that liberalism was not so much one man one vote, but one vote one family. And that liberalism was structured with multiple houses so that different classes could conduct trades in a market. We call that market government. But it’s still just a system of exchanges wherein each party retains his potential for the use of violence.

    So liberalism was a an evolution of enfranchising more people into that system, but without understanding of what that system did. And then that system was abused – I think primarily by the entrance of women into the voting system once they became active in the work force.

    INTUITION AND THE EVOLUTION OF THE THE WHITE LIE

    Once our minds could evolve self awareness, our bodies had to evolve a means of persuading us to do that which we would not willingly do if we rationally conceived it.

    The idea that rational insight into nature is beneficial is only half true. Once aware of death look what we do about it. But if we were cognizant of our position in the hierarchy, or any other number of truths, we would not so easily fulfill nature’s demands upon us to reproduce.

    of course our intuitions lie to us.

    Its necessary.

    Just as it’s necessary to tell children nice white lies so they remain optimistic.

    STARVE THE CATHEDRAL

    The Cathedral is, without question, a religion – so we must separate church and state. Right? Easy. Imagine what happens to universities if they must be paid out of future earnings by graduates, just as income taxes are paid out of future earnings by graduates?

    Starve the beast.
