  • Western Man’s Uniqueness in Purpose: Raised to Rule

    Oct 12, 2019, 9:02 PM 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.

  • All money is a share in a particular economy.

    Oct 13, 2019, 6:59 AM 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).

  • Un-Identical but Compatible: Religion and Natural Law

    Oct 13, 2019, 10:34 AM 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.

  • Yes I Advocate Collective (group) Punishment.

    Oct 13, 2019, 11:33 AM it’s how we end the game against us. If you gain value from an identity from a membership, then you must insure the rest of us from the consequences of the organization you fund by your membership. Families insure individuals, individuals insure groups, and no one is free of insuring others.

  • Censored Answer to Arabic Demographics Posted on Our Site

    Oct 13, 2019, 12:00 PM FB censored the post where an Arabic Speaker asked me to explain how a group with a lower average IQ could achieve european standards of living. I explained that it is not an IQ problem but a population demographic problem. And in fact, with very rare exceptions, this is in general, the rule for all human groups. The difference between groups is almost entirely the product of the possibility of reproduction by the lower classes. If it’s possible the problem will be worse, if it’s harder it will be better. This is just the boring science of why climate and farming together put so much pressure on developing intelligence and Conscientiousness. It didn’t make people smarter, it lowered the number of people that could survive farming and winters. In other words, different groups are not better or worse, but the sizes of the classes in different groups create economic and political difficulties for some, and eliminate difficulties for others. This is why middle and upper classes the world over get along just fine, but the lower middle, working, and underclasses cause conflicts with each other. Despite my attempt to provide a rebuttal to counter hate speech, someone reported the post, and facebook censored it. I agreed with the decision in order to prevent conflict. This is why I am careful about who I allow in my friends list – it’s not the people that friend me that are the problem, it’s the people in YOUR friends list. If you want the answer to the question in Arabic see our web site: propertarianism.com/blog “The Problem Isn’t Race It’s Demographics”.
