    MINDFULNESS
    —Mindfulness is result of learning to habituate one’s attention to experiences occurring in the present moment, in order to choose reactions to conditions rather than involuntarily react to conditions by trauma, fear, error, accident, ignorance, indiscipline, or other’s unwanted or undesirable influence.—
    Mindfulness consists in developing cognitive and emotional Agency.
    Mindfulness can be achieved as far as I know only through ritual(china), through supernaturalism(middle east), through pseudoscience (buddhism), or through science(Stoicism/CBT).
    So while it can be produced by many means, which means produce the best and worst externalities.
    The externality of stoicism is agency – action in the the world.
    And for those incapable of agency, then epicureanism is a constructive reduction of one’s sphere of competition and influence to that of family and friendship joys.
    For those of us who have agency by birth, aspire to excellences, elitisms, and as much competition as we can survive, and do so with joy no matter the cost, we need neither mindfulness of action, or mindfulness of acquiescence.
    Equality and universalism of all but The Law is an evil lie that prevents us from achieving happiness with the genes that our parents gave us.

    THE PEOPLE AND THE FINANCIAL SECTOR: THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CASH FLOW AND “DEBT AS CAPITAL” —I was thinking about precisely this problem this morning. If capital is aligned with the left, then the only way for the middle to win is to take military action against capital. That is asking people who have jobs and houses and trucks and wives and kids to basically go out and knock out the pillars of the system, thereby ending their ability finance said jobs and houses and trucks and wives and kids. This is actually the point the Yellow Vest movement is at right now. The middle is out there walking the streets every Saturday. But so what? They don’t want to blow up the means of production because that is what feeds them. So capital + the left waits them out. Successfully. The middle is dependent on capital to support itself, can capital undermines the middle via its alliance with the left. Every single time.— Michael Is this true? If they had nationalized the banks in 08, wiped out all the investors, and imprisoned the management, and installed new management …. the employees would have done their jobs at the financial institutions. But the management would have been gutted, and the investors too, and the capital in the banks liquidated and replaced from capital from the treasury. The only reason this didn’t happen is that they were afraid the cash machines would stop working, and they weren’t prepared with a replacement plan. Really. That’s the only reason. Otherwise it would have happened. Iceland did it. Harder for iceland than the states.The people care about cash flow and commons they don’t care about capital in the sense you mean it because capital is always available from the treasury to replace capital lost in the financial sector. The consequences are simply redistribution of capital INTERESTS in debt from the financial to the middle and working class, just as capital INTERESTS in territory have been frequently redistributed for the same reason. Now I am not advocating this I’m just demonstrating that it’s clearly not true. The state can run anything for a while at poor returns on capital – most of the world does it – the value of the private sector is higher return on capital because the market forces continuous innovation.

    BUILDING NUMBERS SUFFICIENT TO WIN
    —The question is how are we going to build an alliance capable of actually winning?—
    0) acknowledging the groups and their incentives – and that their frames are not alterable.1) producing material incentives (policy) that cross frames and even boundaries (gain the middle)2) varying anything necessary above to obtain power.3) seizing a window of opportunity that crosses boundaries.4) being the only people left standing with a solution that crosses boundaries.
    One does not, if one is a general of any merit, attempt to produce a given outcome, only to produce any outcome among the set of possible and probabilistic outcomes.
    One does not propose that which generates resistance by the people, only the state.
    Napoleon was a genius because he prepared like hell to seize opportunity. Everyone else of merit other than sun tsu has used technology, or resources, or both. He took an unregulated peasantry and muskets and mobilized an entire country to seize continuous opportunities in a world where battle had turned into a traditional dance.
    Mao was a genius because he played country against city, by seizing opportunity because of divisiveness between city and rural.
    Lenin(stalin) was an opportunist that could play the rural against the urban, and the jewish against the russian. If the jews can destroy the russian empire….
    The Irish won as the afghans did: hit and run until moral legitimacy was lost.
    Hitler(Mussolini),was only possible because of timing. This isn’t possible any longer (secular theology). 
    The french revolution was only possible because france was the most backward government in europe.
    The military rotation back tot he top is pretty simple to accomplish because they share the incentives of the common people from which they come.
    The common man today is being conquered and he knows it. Mao and the irish are the examples. It costs nothing to bring an empire to its knees if in doing so the empire loses its legitimacy.
    So the only problem here is material incentives that people prefer over the current state, sufficient enough to end their resistance, not necessarily obtain their consent or participation.

    ALL: TRYING GAB A BIT (Mostly because Tom Kawczynski is here and that’s the best direction of movement as the window continues to move.)Hard to find the right balance of venues.  FB helps with the libertarians and intellectuals, increases normie reach, and helps with curation, but limits revolutionary (evolutionary) discourse. Every other forum so far degenerates into pedantry. Lots of pressure to use a Telegram group. So giving this a shot.(Couldn’t invest time in Gab before because of post size limits. Thanks to Gab leadership for increasing the limit of post size so that it’s possible to say something meaningful.)

    (That is not clear Tom. It depends upon your definition of war. You might say another stabilizing police action in the middle east would be. You might say another act of regime change might be. You certainly can’t make the case for democracy, sure. But reducing iran to somali, syrian, or iraqi condition with warfare rather than policing action is very hard to disagree with, if for no other reason than a nuclear power with a bourse backed by oil, accumulating gold, spreading fundamentalist islam, is simply trading minority jewish communism (pseudoscience) for majority persian islamism (mysticism), and until islam is gutted of such powers, the completion of modernity is as reversible as it was in the ancient world, by the lovely sequence of jewish undermining, christian weakening, and islamic destruction. We made the mistake of empowering turkey. But these peoples cannot be fixed. it’s demographic. They can only be (as the chinese have shown) contained.)

    Who will lead me in battle? Not, Who will protect us? How can I assist in the fight? Not, Who will fight for us? What is the maximum harm we can inflict in the enemy at the minimum cost? Not, How can I avoid bearing risk or cost? Men ask the first question. Women the second. There is no middle ground. Men own all. Everyone else rides for free. Women and children ride. Men who follow the women are dead weight at best, conspirators with the enemy at worst.

    SO WHAT IS THE NEW CONVERSATION WE NEED TO HAVE?(imo its civil war, but read some thoughts below)
    Richard Heathen:The Alt-Right was a rightwing coalition of people with various ideological stripes. The more high profile actors were conservative and libertarian, but the rank and file were always anti-liberal, whether they be NRx, monarchists fascists, national socialists, etc. … Many of us are now going our own way seeking other opportunities now that this coalition has run its course, and now seems no longer viable.
    Eugene Starin:The Alt Right is and always has been a white majoritarian movement. Conservatism failed at all levels to conserve anything at all and libertarian religious worship of corporatism is fundamentally incompatible with the goals of the Alt Right. …. What’s really fucking funny to me is how libertarians get BTFOed by mega corps like Facebook, Twitter, Pay Pal, B of A, etc. but they still suck that corporate cock.

    CHOOSE: 100M UNCOMFORTABLE, OR 100M DEAD. by Stephen Thomas If I’m being honest with myself. I’m simply done with arguing. I have no more patience for it.
    The next few years and even the next decade should be all about action. Whether that be political, physical, social or otherwise. The time for arguments has passed.
    Now is the time to start mobilizing. We must get the idea of secession into the mainstream of the Right and we must do it now. No more arguments with the left. There is nothing they can say. The mask has completely fallen away.
    THAT is the only “conversation” we need to be having on a broad scale.
    National Divorce.
    And if that fails
    Civil War (Revolution)—CurtD—That is the message we take to the masses. out-bred, out-immigrated, out-schemed, and purged from the discourse, the only option for us left is divorce, and if not peaceful divorce civil war. Choose: 100m uncomfortable, or 100M dead.
