  • Stomping on The Bunnies of Your Self Worth

    (FB 1541953973 Timestamp) STOMPING ON THE BUNNIES OF YOUR SELF WORTH (important if your self worth can tolerate it) —“Religion is what you do every day . doctrine and dogma are your expressions of your mental interpretations of your belief system.”— Ken Duggan Well, again,that’s a falsehood. A religion consists of a false presumption or more, a false promise or more, a set of narratives within those falsehoods, a set of rituals that demonstrate your investments in them, and a group strategy produced by all of the above. One can theorize (science and history), philosophize (reason and ideals), or fictionalize (theology and myths). A scientist doesn’t lie about that distinction. Both philosophers and theologians do. The reason you resort to religion is because the painful truth of your market value to others is too low to rely on philosophy (reason and ideals) or science science and the real). This illusion of self worth, social worth, market worth, is the ‘payment’ you receive in the form of mindfulness, in exchange for investing in training your intuition to calculate in falsehoods. Because in reality – few of us have much worth other than that we do no harm. And the benefits of the market created by doing no harm exist for us despite the fact that we have little or no value other than doing no harm. If that does not crush your ego, I don’t know what will. But that is the undeniable, painful, undesirable truth. Most people are dead weight on Mankind and The Planet, and the Universe.

  • Christian (federated) Monarchies (rule of Law Kings) Are the Optimum Political Order

    (FB 1541953554 Timestamp) CHRISTIAN (FEDERATED) MONARCHIES (RULE OF LAW KINGS) ARE THE OPTIMUM POLITICAL ORDER @Lord_Keynes2 Monarchs have a very bad record. They engage in war and conquest, acquire multi-ethnic empires, become cosmopolitans, and then it all falls apart: e.g., Ottoman empire, Russian empire, Austro-Hungarian empire, etc. Replying to @Lord_Keynes2 I notice you aren’t mentioning the german manorial states, the scandinavian, the french polish or italian…. Replying to @Lord_Keynes2 Empires capture trade routes. Monarchies captured productive land. Both centralize rents in exchange for increasing local economic velocity. Study of european castle distribution illustrates rather easily the exceptional relationship between martial+judicial and std of living. Replying to @Lord_Keynes2 Ergo the issue is not empire nor monarchy, but ETHNICITY. ie: ethnocentrism is the optimum group evolutionary strategy, and trading ethnocentricity for rents at the cost of multicultural conflict is a short term win at long term cost.

  • My main annoyance with Peterson

    (FB 1541956556 Timestamp) —“I admire Peterson’s ability to articulate himself and handle the dishonest tactics that are thrown at him by interviewers and debaters. But by the same turn my main annoyance with him, and others like him such as Moly is that they seem to think that being articulate is the best way or perhaps only way to confront dishonest tactics, and that they resort to the same tactics themselves as a means of doing so. Not everyone can articulate themselves that well, especially during a confrontation. I certainly can not do it, in fact I am often stunned speechless when people use sophistry against me. To live in a society where these tactics are the norm is a nightmare for me, and it would not matter how many men like Peterson stand up against it since they are still perpetuating the problem. I like his stance against regulation of speech, and I think it is important but it is only a stop gap measure.”—Jennifer Dean

    (FB 1541902975 Timestamp) BUILDING LEADERSHIP You cannot know in advance what human capital investments will hatch leaders. The method I use to build organizations is the same: make a lot of bets, and make few judgments, other than to support evidence successes no matter how small and abandon failures that cannot be saved.

  • The Experiment Is Over and The Jury Is In

    (FB 1541951913 Timestamp) THE EXPERIMENT IS OVER AND THE JURY IS IN The jury is in. Monarchs produce better commons. the fewer the people in politics the better. The more powerful the law in resisting the king, a government, or each other, and the more powerful the militia in resisting all above, the better. Liberalism in the sense of rule of law won. Monarchy in the sense of production of commons won. Fascism in the sense of state nationalism, ethnocentrism, state capitalism, and intolerance for competition on other than economic means, won. Why? it’s the optimum decision making structure because it is the optimum means of accommodating differences in knowledge and incentives.

    (FB 1541902625 Timestamp) THE MARKET WILL SUPPLY THE ANSWER IF YOU CREATE IT. MARKETS NOT PLANS. GOALS NOT TASKS. Excuse me for reveling in it a bit, but you know, it seems like Bill’s group has percolated a set of arguments in form of traditional wisdom on top of the analytic content, and that this is the ‘market’ providing leadership by consequence rather than design. It is not what I would have intended, but it is what the majority of men need. I had hoped to work with those few young men that fell prey to the easy temptations of authoritarianism, to create a cadre of very analytic judges like myself – because it is the intellectuals I want to fight on intellectual terms in the open field of public debate. And I suspect I must learn something from that failure. That ‘the dark side’ of simplicity is too tempting for the impatience of young men, too inexperienced at the conflict of men of achievement, to have the patience to conduct intellectual warfare rather than the duels of the young men seeking quick status rather than accumulated capital. That failure aside, It seems the scientist and engineer in me has produced what I desired. But that the talent of these men has produced what the market needs. The market will produce leaders. They merely need the weapons with which to conduct the current war, rather than the last. The leaders of the revolution will come from those that do not seek quick personal accolades, in internet duels, but COMBINED ARMS in producing that spectrum of ideas necessary for the spectrum of packs of men to understand, execute, and bring in to fruition.
