  • What Do People Mean by Trust in Their Government

    WHAT DO PEOPLE MEAN BY TRUST IN THEIR GOVERNMENT

    by Micah Pezdirtz 1) Confidence in transparency (warranted or not) 2) Consent to policy as comprehended 3) Satisfaction with perceived outcome. (CD: That is constitutional quality. I have to put that in there somewhere. Well done.) === in response to === In the political context, when people are expressing in their government, it only refers to three factors (a) the framing of the debate by the media, academy, state complex, (b) the orderliness or at least comprehensibility of the patterns of speech and (c) the current levels of anxiety for the future. In other words, the academy, state, media, create demand by generation of conflict, just as diversity of race, ethnicity, and class generates conflict, just as ideological competition creates conflict. The state generates conflcit for ATTENTION which gets them POWER. Trust is a synonym for predictability over time.

  • Oversight? Or blindness?

    by ‎Daniel Jordan‎ A simple historical oversight? Or blinded by axiomatic first principles of ethics? [T]he distinguishing factors between Hayek and even Friedman in terms of ideas vs Rothbard, Mises, Rand is that they understood the importance of rule of law. Yes they wanted a limited government and distributed power but they wanted that government to be very well funded in its appropriate roles, judiciary, military, police, penal system. I think Friedman got it except on one thing – he was right to say that mass immigration with a welfare state is a bad idea but he didn’t realize that mass migration even without one would also pose a threat. The challenge here is that the benefit of a wealthy and functioning, lawful society produces commons of such value that this cannot be demarcated neatly from what we commonly label as ‘welfare’. It’s still a free rider problem even if some individuals can contribute on the whole. The longer the time horizon stretches out the more uncertainty there is. I wonder how receptive these individuals would have been to looking at history through a biological framework. Mises, Rothbard, and Rand, all had their insights but that crucial element of not understanding that rule of law had to precede the advent of market capitalism means that their ethics of non aggression principal were built on a foundation of quicksand. When we look at history from a natural scientific perspective it makes more sense and we don’t have to assume as much and can explain a lot more to say hey, rule of law (backed by force) was a further refinement and distribution of power among the polity that came after its even more primal stage of ‘law of rules’ arbitrary, came from ‘God’ and then used monarchs as a transition. We had ‘markets’ from the beginning, it didn’t bring the innovation or the wealth because the powers that be did not stamp out parasitism, the powers that were, were a form of parasitism. Our laws were the whims of who was in charge. Modern markets and wealth, and sovereignty are what happens when order is established. Force predates wealth. Historically and practically. If we don’t regard this as a natural phenomena we are going to forget what really formed the west.’

  • Wisdom Literature Good and Bad

    [W]isdom literature is necessary. Fairy Tales, Myths, Legends, all use unknown forces to educate us. That’s just different from using wisdom (advice) as truth (decidability). One cannot deduce in argument from such premises. But one can seek counsel, and give counsel with wisdom. It’s just a degree of precision: Analogy (wisdom) for broad, Virtues for less broad, General Rules for narrower, Law for narrower, science for narrower, and math for narrowest. This range allows us graceful increase and decrease in precision – or dishonestly, to obscure precision. We must only know whether we are using the sufficient degree of precision for the question, whether we lack information for, or are ignorant of, further precision, or whether we are obscuring greater precision for dishonest purposes. Theology uses all three – unfortunately.

  • Be a Man.

    Western Men Use Truth Before Face. Pomo’s Undermine It. They Use Women to Do It. Be a Man.

    —“Stefan Molyneux: Every day you go out of your way to insult someone. People who come to your channel genuinely curious about what you may have to say quickly realize you were just another internet troll. There are too many of those. Be something different.”—SufficientlyWhelmed@SufficientlyWh1

    [Y]ou apparently have been feminized so that you don’t understand the optimum means of masculine education: King of the Hill games. You also don’t understand the enemy’s undermining by GSRRM and how Stefan counter-signals it all day long. If you are turned off then you don’t matter. It’s hard to face the fact that you don’t matter. But if you won’t put Truth Before Face, you are in fact, an enemy of the uniqueness of western civilization. Truth before Face is the highest cost we pay, and the left has sought to undermine it – because it’s our civ’s foundation. The purpose of the marxist program was to bait decivilization with false promise and pseudoscience. It didn’t work. But Women naturally use face-before-truth, and by selling it to women and undesirable men, political correctness is simply undermining Truth before Face. So please man up and stop being a useful idiot. Truth before Face, Reciprocity, Sovereignty, and Jury is the foundation of western civilization. Stop helping the enemy by virtue signaling. Pay the cost of maintaining Truth Before Face.
