In conventional wisdom “good people” have been too glorified. It is assumed that 80% of the society is of decent people, who like to work with others, pay their taxes and just want to fit in. It is the evil, say, 5% of the people who make life hell for the society. My view is that these 85% are basically meat, without moral or rational anchors. They are adrift and can be made to believe in whatever those in power want them to. The direction of the society is decided by a minority of rational/moral people, the 2% as Curt Doolittle suggests. These people—whether in power or outside—give direction to the society. It is under their leadership that intellectual and financial capital gets accumulated. Here is the real problem… This 2% leaders in Europe have slowly been castrated using political correctness or have become docile because of modern comforts they have grown up in. As the quality of this 2% falls (rather rapidly), Europe is losing its civilization. The counterpart of this 2% of Europe in the Third World is 0.000002%, maybe less–this is the reason why the Third World is always adrift, rudderless, always tending towards Malthusian equilibrium.

—“No one can say for sure when things will shift hard enough, but if you listen close you can hear the cracks forming.
You will know the shift is occurring when people stop talking about what they are willing to die to protect and start talking about what they are willing to do to protect.
For the herd that voice comes from a group who is panicked and feels backed into a corner. For the herd that is the language of fear when they are left with no choice but to recognize the capacity of tolerance to carry the load is exceeded. Evidence the herd is reaching that point is easy to find.
For the pack that voice comes from a group who is poised to be done carrying costs not their own. For the pack that is the language of forbearance being withdrawn.”—Luke Weinhagen

REMINDER:
Honestly. I deal with history, law, economics, science, logic, mathematics and scientists.
I don’t have any respect for ‘philosophers’ in general, and none at all for continentals, who I see as idealist versions of abrahamic/islamist supernaturalists employing sentimental sophisms rather than sentimental supernatural fictionalisms.
Sophist, Pseudoscientific, and Supernatural Wisdom literature exists as a competitor to law and science by creating resistance movements against adaptation by enforced ignorance and conformity.
I write in what I undrestand is the LAW, which means testimony (measurements) in metaphysics, psychology, social science, which means the end of philosophy as anything other than choice of preference and good FROM the findings of LAW (Science and Testimony).
In other words, it is my intention to exterminate philosophy (from the public sphere) as a discipline with LAW just as we exterminated religious theology (from the public sphere) with Physical Science.
So I write in law, science, and logic in the structure (outline) of aristotelian philosophy for the purpose of destroying the (continental) cancer of ‘philosophy’ that is nothing but a set of sophomoric and pseudoscientific and in some cases (Evola) occult, drivel preventing us from taking action to impose LAW upon those who would use the same techniques as philosophers and theologians and pseudoscientists, to return us to the Abrahamic Dark Ages of delusionary ignorance.

ON THE EXISTENCE, SCARCITY, OBJECTIVITY OF VIOLENCE
—“The ability to act violently is a resource, yes.”—Richard Elliott
—“I suppose you could call violence a skill and classify it as a human resource”—Joel Harvey
–“Absolutely. An army is a resource of violence.”—Richard Elliott
^Ok. Y’all got there without me.
—“An act is not an object.”– Richard Elliott
This is mistake. An object exists independent of action. An action exists for the duration of the action and its consequences. An idea exists during the experience.
Possible Objects have asset value (potential), Possible Actions have asset value. Possible Reconstructed Experience (Knowledge) has asset value.
We use the term “Human Capital” for a reason: existential potential, potential action, and potential knowledge.
—“Violence, an act of physical force that causes or is intended to cause harm.”— Brian Minsk
This is a mistake.
Violence is merely a resource that can be put to good (suppression of imposition of costs upon the interests of others, thereby driving people into the market for cooperation in order to survive), utility (restitution and punishment), or ill (imposition of costs upon the interests of others.)
—“i’m not sure scarce is the appropriate word to describe a non material thing tbh.”– Joel Harvey
That’s a mistake.
Is knowledge scarce? It is. it’s costly to produce and costly to transfer. Scarcity, lie “speed” is merely a statement of contrast. How fast or how scarce. one thing is faster/slower than another one more scarce/plentiful than another. I’ve tried to address Hoppe’s error on scarcity elsewhere, although you can search for “hoppe error” and find it there.
That one thing is more scarce than another is actually quite difficult to know. We can know costs to obtain. So scarcity of any good, service, or information is a measure of our costs of obtaining it. Ergo, scarcity like value can be misrepresented as universal rather than subjective.

GROKKING “ELDERS OF THE BLACK SUN” FRAME OF ARGUMENT.
—“(
When we say ‘Tradition’ we are using it as a noun, a synonym to ‘Perennial Wisdom’) – a metaphysical claim to Truth.
See: Perennial philosophy – Wikipedia
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perennial_philosophy
Specifically of the Traditionalist School (which purges the New Agey bs)
See: Traditionalist School – Wikipedia
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditionalist_School
)”— Elders of the Black Sun 3
So you mean Wisdom (evidence of survival in use of prolongation of a group evolutionary strategy: ie Peterson’s ‘Darwinian Truth’ ) as an equivalent to Truth (testimony that is consistent, correspondent, coherent, operational, existentially possible, complete), independent of preference or good. And you mean Wisdom Literature rather than Scientific (Correspondent) Description.
And which Tradition are you referring to? French, Authoritarian, Supernatural, or Anglo, Contractual, Real?
I think you mean French, Authoritarian, Universal, and Supernatural, or the German restatement of Authoritarian, National, and Ideal(imaginary). But you don’t mean Anglo, Contractual, and Real (Science).
Ok… so yes, you are speaking in Postmodern (anti-scientific, anti-real, anti-darwinian) school of the French and Italian catholic reformists: Traditionalist School.
And, yes, you are relying on Perennialism (universalism, and eternalism of the content of the wisdom literature developed under agrarianism and pastoralism, but abandoned under industrialism.)
So, Continental (Secular Catholic), Postmodern (anti-realist, anti-scientific), literature and intutionism (anti-calculation).
And yes, this is the secularization of catholic authoritarian conformity of the laboring classes who cannot afford to learn, or are unable to learn, and then make use of calculation and computation for the purpose of competitive evolution, and so rely on sentimental stagnation as a resistance movement.
Ok. I think I get it.
Well, what I really like is the depth you’re going into. Good work.

—“Unfortunately when people say they are Traditionalist they mean they are idealists with no knowledge of actual tradition.”—Chris Moyer
(now that’s a bit of insight for the day)
(I would say it as:
—“idealism is a means of providing false self confidence in the face of overwhelming but intolerable ignorance.”—

The microfoundation of micro and macro economics is Time, just like the microfoundation of law is Reciprocity. Just like the microfoundations of testimony is tests of Constant Relations across given dimensions (grammars).
