EXPERIENTIAL TERMS (Neurological) “Just tell me” “Just show me ” “let me have a little distance, so I can learn by analogy” “I can’t go anywhere near it, so I have to learn ENTIRELY by suggestion.” LOGICAL TERMS Some things are self evident. (just tell me) Some requires a bit of analysis (just show me) Some requires some deduction (just let me have distance…) Some requires inference. (can’t go there, need suggestion….) MATHEMATICAL TERMS Numbers Addition Geometry Algebraic Geometry Same problem. Same Solution. Literary suggestion using archetypes combines the possibility of SUGGESTION combined with SUSPENSION OF DISBELIEF,

    (FB 1542205500 Timestamp) PETERSON’S FUNCTION IN INTELLECTUAL HISTORY Peterson is a clinical psychologist (cognitive behavioral therapist), and his research includes the impact of personality traits on individual and group behavior. His work (authorship) is largely an attempt (knowingly or not) to restore Stoicism. He has (successfully) identified the relationship between jungian categories and literary archetypes and uses those narratives just as the priesthood has, to teach therapeutic concepts by suggestion rather than CBT’s direct exposure. (I am less interested in this technique for therapy but an advocate for its use in teaching (pedagogy) in the first place – since universal prevention eliminate most of the need for therapeutic correction.) So he is providing Stoicism without (a) social separatism, and (b) the ‘woo’ factor. Even if he is providing it (c) for therapeutic and self improvement use, rather than (d) a program for restoring western civilization from the INFANTILIZATION MOVEMENT we call marxism-postmodernism-feminism. There is a worldwide demand for Stoicism because we have almost (finally) restored the level of civilization achieved by the late Empire before the Abrahamic Dark Age. And once we understand institutional restoration required until the age of napoleon, and intellectual restoration until the 2000s, that abrahamic dark age was TWICE as devastating as the first: the Bronze Age Collapse.

    (FB 1542203100 Timestamp) PETERSON VS MARXISTS (useful argument) The difference between the (accommodating) Librarians (which is where Peterson evolved ) and both right (eugenic hierarchical) and left (dysgenic equalitarian) is that libertarians think in (make rational calculations in) economic logic (incentives) and are economically literate, and behaviorally empirical, and as a consequence, are extremely cognizant of the failures of marxism, socialism, and postmodern thought, as they ripple through societies and polities. They are forms of infantilization. He is trying to (and having some success ) restore personal responsibility and reversing infantilization, by restoring stresses of continuous adaptation (learning) so that we all take personal responsibility and mature into adults again. Between his self authoring, and programmatic use of suggestion using archetypes (appeal to authority and durability of the lessons of ancient wisdom literature), he is merely one of the leading and most successful actors in the restoration of Stoicism – which is the most SCIENTIFIC of the psychological systems from religion to the marxist-postmodernist-feminist pseudosciences and pseudorationalisms. The natural religion of western civilization: Myth, History, Stoicism, Festival. Like everything else we do, the most consistent, correspondent, and coherent with reality that is possible for man. Those who have heroes in their ancestry need not invent worthy gods. They already have them. Curt Doolittle The Philosophy of Aristocracy The Propertarian Institute

    (FB 1542215679 Timestamp) by Brandon Hayes Life is only suffering for those with no (low and developing) agency. It’s the only frame that motivates them to face it (life; the suffering). One must have (develop) the capacity for heroism to withstand tragedy as a plausible noble outcome. The world “just happens” to those that lack real consciousness. Thus they can’t perceive the responsibility they must bear.

    (FB 1542260237 Timestamp) WESTERNERS ARE DIFFERENT – SCIENCE ERODES EQUALITARIAN MYTHS Twentieth-century cousin marriage rates explain more than 50 percent of variation in democracy across countries today. Political institutions vary widely around the world, yet the origin of this variation is not well understood. This study tests the hypothesis that the Catholic Church’s medieval marriage policies dissolved extended kin networks and thereby fostered inclusive institutions. In a difference-in-difference setting, I demonstrate that exposure to the Church predicts the formation of inclusive, self-governed commune cities before the year 1500CE. Moreover, within medieval Christian Europe,stricter regional and temporal cousin marriage prohibitions are likewise positively associated with communes. Strengthening this finding, I show that longer Church exposure predicts lower cousin marriage rates; in turn, lower cousin marriage rates predict higher civicness and more inclusive institutions today. These associations hold at the regional, ethnicity and country level. Twentieth-century cousin marriage rates explain more than 50 percent of variation in democracy across countries today. https://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2018/11/twentieth-century-cousin-marriage-rates-explain-50-percent-variation-democracy-across-countries-today.html

    (FB 1542214591 Timestamp) THE ECONOMIC APPROACH TO HUMAN BEHAVIOR You know, it’s so much a part of my cognition that I forget to mention it. But this book framed my thinking about social science more so than any other. I think in the Becker model. Ostrom just helps with extending the Becker model into commons. The “minds” that I imitate (make use of constantly) are Becker, Hayek, Hoppe, Popper, Turing-Chomsky, (the outlier is Hoppe (property) which is what the rest are missing), with Jeff Hawkins’s work on intelligence ( already having come true), and Baron Cohen’s so obvious, it’s coming true daily in the research. The Nietzsche I rely on is Birth of Tragedy. Someone will skewer me for this but his fundamental insight was produce there, and all else is application of it. Step back to the beginning again, and grasp that I studied history, art history, and military history first before any of this, and the sequence of aggregate behavior down to neurological processing is a completely coherent and consistent series of ideas. https://www.amazon.com/Economic-Approach-Human-Behavior/dp/0226041123

    (FB 1542215617 Timestamp) PETERSON IS AN INDIVIDUALIST NOT SOVEREIGNTARIAN (a) Individual Sovereignty = Individualism in LAW (in fact) not in ‘sentiment’ or ‘moralism’. Because only individuals can act. (b) The purpose of policy is the service of the INTERGENERATIONAL FAMILY, and NOT the individual. This is the hole in Classical Liberalism, Liberalism and LIbertarianism, for the simple reason that “one man one vote’ meant ‘one family with property one vote’ or ‘one business man one vote’ or ‘one familial corporation one vote’, and not ‘ one individual without demonstrated ability to produce one vote’. The priority of western civilization was and if it is to survive, must consist, in the combination of individual normative heroism, individual legal sovereignty, and the policy that gives all possible advantages to each individual intergenerational family, in its production of individual sovereigns. The word “individualism” masks this difference.

    (FB 1542213632 Timestamp) JOHN MARK: MEASURING OTHERS’ PROGRESS IN THE JOURNEY That spectrum/journey is the journey from hope in the ability to teach/shame/influence people into acting in a responsible and beneficial (reciprocal) manner (in accordance with natural law), to realizing that only the law (violence or threat of it) can do that. Now that I see it, I see it everywhere. So often I see people saying things like “The solution is for people to realize that (xyz)…” or “The solution is we have to teach people that (xyz)…” I recognize instantly that they are not far enough along on the spectrum/journey. –John Mark — He’s Referring to this — THE ARISTOCRATIC (RESPONSIBILITY) SALES FUNNEL All of the people who start out edgy, tend to move back up the sales funnel (wider audience) because they perceive they are doing more good with wider reach, by driving more people into the sales funnel. Everyone has to move thu the ‘sales funnel’ from well meaning fool to man of agency.
