(FB 1542218822 Timestamp) HEROISM AND COSTS by Luke Weinhagen Heroism is the application of virtue where that application has a potential direct cost to you. It is hard to train for directly because people interpret virtue so subjectively but training the foundation, overcoming inaction in the face of costs, is something anyone can do. Expose yourself to situation where you have a strong possibility to fail. Fail. Get back up. It is best if your parents do this for you as young as possible, but nowadays most parents don’t. So it is likely up to you. Find something you are motivated by (so you have a reason to get back up) that also offers you the likelihood of initial failure and overextend yourself into it (ideally not something that will kill you is you are just beginning to embrace failure).

(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 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.

Every step of the way you have to carry more a burden. You have to recognize the costs being imposed upon you by the parasites are there because you are allowing them to be. Right now the funnel is not for weak engines not the faint of heart. “Fuck it, let’s just impose it” becomes a relief. If we can get to where we can start to suppress the parasites, this funnel opens up to more and more people. We get to that wider audience.

(FB 1542260237 Timestamp) WESTERNERS ARE DIFFERENT – SCIENCE ERODES EQUALITARIAN
(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 Churchâs 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
