  • The Difficulty in Cooperating on Externalities

    Jan 24, 2020, 7:57 AM Another axis of causality is the difficulty in cooperating on externalities, when it’s the collective sum of externalities that produces scale returns on cooperation (trust, velocity, tolerance). We make many decisions every day that can be biased for or against the group interest regardless of cost to us. Likewise hostile groups within a polity can bias their decisions against the host people’s interests. This is how social warfare is conducted: undermining.

  • Our Right to Religion

    Jan 24, 2020, 8:03 AM

    I demand the right to personally and collectively pay debts to and gain wisdom from, the entire host of my people’s gods, demigods, and heroes from our foundation forward. To transfer that debt and wisdom between generations, and to defend commons constructed by that debt and wisdom from dilution, diminution, competition, and harm.

  • The Literature of The Iliad

    Jan 24, 2020, 8:11 AM The vast majority of literature in the ancient world was commentary on the Iliad just as the vast majority of literature in the medieval world was on the bible. In fact, the fragments of the library at Alexandria – regardless of how that library was physically constructed – were mostly commentary on the Iliad. (The trials of Achilles)
