    UN-IDENTICAL BUT COMPATIBLE: RELIGION AND NATURAL LAW

    by Martin Štěpán

    If your faith helps you behave according to natural law, whether your pantheon is Zeus/Jupiter and his family or Odin/Wodan and the Æsir or the Trinity, Mary and the saints, I will absolutely support it.

    But I’m unable to believe it even if I wanted to. Those of us significantly higher in systematizing than empathizing hardly ever can. But I can believe in natural law in itself because I see evidence of it all around me. That’s what I attribute all the beauty of creation to.

    And we both agree that our actions in this life will have consequences in the next. For believers, it might be the afterlife or reincarnation, for me, it will be the lives of my descendants, whereas I would consider each of my children half myself.

    Whichever you believe, or even if you believe neither, rule of law will incentivize the same behavior even without belief by ensuring that breaking the law won’t have consequences only in the next life but also in this one.

    Even the most extreme nihilists believe in pain. And it is the only way we can prevent ourselves from being the cause our end times and push them to the physical limits of our Universe.

    Personally I’d like to see the other 30% devote their talents to improving womankind. The problem with feminism is that it succeeded in improving women’s lot in life, without actually improving women.

    by Alain Dwight

    All money is a share in a particular economy. Having money generated by a predefined, publicly visible algorithm might be a step closer to rule of law in finance, but it’s not a full accounting rule of law for finance and it doesn’t magically make the economy it represents more valuable.

    To raise the value of shares, rule of law still needs to be applied and enforced separately, at which point crypto’s only advantage (I know of) would be transactions that are marginally more efficient (if true), which would be a fringe benefit, not a revolutionary shift.

    You can write software to help expose, cut out, and compete with the parasites but that’s going to hit a hard limit, unless you address the underlying issue (a comprehensive plan to replace parasitic control of law w/ rule of law and high trust).

  • WESTERN MAN’S UNIQUENESS IN PURPOSE: RAISED TO RULE Let me put it in perspective

    WESTERN MAN’S UNIQUENESS IN PURPOSE: RAISED TO RULE

    Let me put it in perspective, white people, our fairy tales, our myths, our religion, our education – we were brought up to rule. Ourselves, our families, our polities, our nations and the world. This is what the rest of the world cannot grasp, and what the underclasses cannot achieve. Our civilization evolved for the continuous production of agency – we were all brought up to be princes and princesses – to rule. An aristocracy of everyone capable of joining the aristocracy. and the paternal rule of those who are not.

    I have been complaining about the anglo seizure of power by the middle class, and the american attempt to create an aristocracy of everyone. But the western man has been trying to create an aristocracy of everyone since we first put horse to wheel.

    The problem is that loosened the requirements for the demonstration of agency – one’s ability to rule one’s self ,one’s family, on’s business, one’s polity, one’s nation.

    And we failed to create additional houses for the classes that did demonstrate ability as they evolved education and limited agency.
