    —“Universal suffrage was a mistake…and practically everyone knew it would have a great cost, but did it anyway because it’s “right”…the cost was exactly what they predicted it would be: the quality of civilization itself.”—Mike Harvey

    From Alexander Hamilton:

    —“It is also, undeniably, certain, that no Englishman, who can be deemed a free agent in a political view, can be bound by laws, to which he has not consented, either in person, or by his representative. Or, in other words, every Englishman (exclusive of the mercantile and trading part of the nation) who possesses a freehold, to the value of forty shillings per annum, has a right to a share in the legislature, which he exercises, by giving his vote in the election of some person, he approves of, as his representative. “The true reason (says Blackstone) of requiring any qualification, with regard to property in voters, is to exclude such persons, as are in so mean a situation, that they are esteemed to have no will of their own. If these persons had votes, they would be tempted to dispose of them, under some undue influence, or other. This would give a great, an artful, or a wealthy man, a larger share in elections, than is consistent with general liberty. If it were probable, that every man would give his vote, freely, and without influence of any kind, then, upon the true theory and genuine principles of Liberty, every member of the community, however poor, should have a vote, in electing those delegates, to whose charge is committed the disposal of his property, his liberty and life. But since that can hardly be expected, in persons of indigent fortunes, or such as are under the immediate dominion of others, all popular states have been obliged to establish certain qualifications, whereby, some who are suspected to have no will of their own, are excluded from voting; in order, to set other individuals, whose wills may be supposed independent, more thoroughly upon a level with each other.” Hence it appears, that such “of the people as have no vote in the choice of representatives, and therefore, are govern’d, by laws, to which they have not consented, either by themselves or by their representatives, are only those persons, who are in so mean a situation, that they are esteemed to have no will of their own.” Every free agent, every free man, possessing a freehold of forty shillings per annum, is, by the British constitution, intitled to a vote, in the election of those who are invested with the disposal of his life, his liberty and property.”—

  • Truth in Ethnocentrism

    Feb 24, 2020, 10:43 AM

    —“Baiting people into the same Ethno-supremacist bullshit that is the main characteristic of modern day Israel? … Pilpul.. … Still some sharpening to do here.”—Noel Fritsch

    Are you saying that small, homogenous, low power distance, polities under rule of law, and their naturally limited capacity for fiat currency inflation don’t demonstrate the optimum mixed economies for both trade and redistribution? Are you saying ethnocentrism isn’t the optimum group strategy? Are you saying that ethno-supremacism isn’t a necessary property of ethnocentrism? Are you saying that europeans are not demonstrably superior genetically, culturally, scientifically, medically, technologically, institutionally, civilizationally to all other civilizations in the ancient and modern worlds? Are you the one engaging in deceit? I don’t use pilpul – it requires internal inconsistency and P-logic prevents internal inconsistency.

  • The Full Circle of Currency

    Feb 24, 2020, 10:49 AM

    • by Bill Joslin –

    From what i understand currency pertained to debt tracking before it was used for trade. (in group tally of debts within small communities that distributed resources and only engaged in formal trade across groups)(greaber’s Debt) (oddly we’ve come full circle with currency created when debts are issued) -by Paul Franklin – Coinage, then, might have been an attempt to create professional armies to avoid paying them through plunder? Philanthropic. Paper money, according to Ezra Pound, was ‘philanthropic’ invention of a Chinese Emperor in a drought, issued to the starving illiterate peasants that they might buy enough of the grain they grew from the Barons who kept it, and not die. The barons redeem the paper for the promise of gold declared for their presentation before the Emperor. Promise? Is this the same post? One message I have for Christians, one thing that I can tell you with the same certainty I can predict tomorrow’s sunrise will occur – Christ is definitely not coming. No point in waiting for that promise to be fulfilled. Although the implication is therefore that he must already be here?

  • Ethnocentrism, Sovereignty: Rule of Law – Its Enough.

    Feb 24, 2020, 10:55 AM The Via- Positiva Small, homogenous, low power distance, polities under rule of law, and their naturally limited capacity for fiat currency inflation demonstrate the optimum mixed economies for both trade and redistribution. The optimum organization of such a polity is by Sovereignty, Rule of law of Reciprocity, an independent cult of the judiciary, a universal militia, a standing professional army of warriors, a monarchy as a judge of last resort, houses for the classes demonstrating contribution to the commons for the production of commons. And markets in everything. Ethnocentrism is the optimum group strategy because kin selection favors – or at least doesn’t resist – loyalty, high trust, commons, and redistribution. Ethno-supremacism is a necessary property of ethnocentrism. Europeans are demonstrably superior genetically, culturally, scientifically, medically, technologically, institutionally, civilizationally to all other civilizations in the ancient and modern worlds. And we are so for one reason: sovereignty. Everything in our civilization descends from it.

  • Getting to Your Personal Epiphany

    Feb 24, 2020, 11:21 AM

    —“I feel you are missing the archetypal experience description. I get that that could be included in testimonial but feel empirical science/lawful testimony and mystical testimony are two different functions.”—Bill Smith

    Try again. I can sense something there and I probably know how to answer it but I’m not sure.

    —“Scientific experience is summarized in scientific testimonial which leads in the direction of expressions of empirical natural law. … Mystical experience is expressed in poetry, the development of religious structures that send one down a destination-less path and manifestations of the ephemeral like the Runes. … I believe they are different things requiring different metrics and modes of expression and experience.”—Bill Smith

    Correct. The question is, must they be coherent compatible and commensurable even if they are expressed in different grammars: deflationary-scientific vs inflationary-poetic. And my answer is yes. There is no reason for conflict. And it is this conflict that undermines our civlization from within.

    —“If you’re saying what I think you’re saying I’m about to tear up due to the truth you’re conveying… as I’ve never known anyone else who did or even could communicate that fundamental lack intrinsic to our culture.

    That was a powerful experience.

    Actually I think you might have broken me. At least … I hope you did.”—Bill Smith

    Broken means bad? lol. What does that mean? I’m scared.

    —“Broken as in the change in conscious experience of reality due to a distinguishable event or experience but is dependent on previous works or studies.”—

    Ok. “a moment of sudden revelation or insight.” Revelation, Epiphany, Paradigm Shift. (Good. I don’t have to feel guilty all day now. lol -hugs.)
