Now, using those less ‘relativistic’ terms, map the STRATEGY to the political order, even if it means picking a combination of them. Doing so demystifies (deflates, disambiguates) the group strategies that we call ‘political orders’.

    (FB 1543780910 Timestamp) I mean, I took typing against advice of the school – one of the best investments of time I ever made. I wanted to take home ec, so I could learn about running a household, and they wouldn’t let me. I took Marriage and Family in catholic school because it was REQUIRED. One of the most valuable classes in my life. Life is not obvious. They don’t want us running home to criticize our parents, to to be aware of our relative stations in life. But the truth is our parents are possibly competent and possibly not, and our stations in life are in our genes – with random chance the only thing that alters them. Home finance and investing. Managing a household Cooking more than boiling water. How to have a marriage that lasts – for each of the classes. How to raise any number of children and the value of it. How to win friends and influence people – in different classes The basics of law and contract law How small, medium, and large businessse operate. Basic Micro and Macro Economics Statistics for Idiots.

    (FB 1543779924 Timestamp) (I dunno how other people do it, but I start with a drop of olive oil, add onions, garlic, bacon and celery – all chopped quite small, and cook them thoroughly, then add the diced beef and cook (fry) it nice and brown. I add the vegetable stock, sea salt, black pepper, parsely, a LOT of dried oregano, enough chili powder to get that chocolaty hint, but not enough to identify it, bring it to boil, add just a little tomato paste, the potatoes and carrots, and I cook it all, stirring frequently until the potatoes break down and create the thickness without needing to add flour. Then I slice the mushrooms and serve when they are done. If I am feeling a bit evil I add a bit of scotch to it – just enough so you aren’t sure what it is you taste. This all takes a bit. I sometimes add pasta shells, or serve over rice, or just serve with a slice of course bread. But it is awesome comfort food. If I had a garden again I’d add some finely chopped greens….. My intuition says that it’s the strange combination of dried oregano and chili powder with the boiled down potatoes and tomato paste that makes it ‘right’. Anyway. It makes managing this cold much more enjoyable. 😉 )

    (FB 1543869749 Timestamp) JUSTIFICATION FOR GROUPING —“The Abrahamic program’s second revision (Marx, Freud, Boaz, Cantor, Mises, Rothbard, Strauss) has been catastrophic. “—CD —“That’s a pretty unintuitive grouping, what’s the justification for it?”— Trent Fowler Method of argument. Just like we have math, logic, rationalism (formal, kantian), empirical, and scientific, we also have sophistry(pseudo-rationalism), pseudoscience, and mysticism. The abrahamic method turns out to be as perfect a method of lying as the scientific method is of telling the truth. So, the abrahamic method consists of (but is not limited to ) (a) false promise (b) baiting moral hazard (c) creating opportunity for parasitism or undermining, (d) using Pilpul (sophism, justificationism), Critique (straw manning criticism without supplying operationally possible alternatives,), Heaping undue praise, and reputation destruction, by means of loding, framing, suggestion, overloading, psychologizing, moralizing, half truths and outright deceits. Now, I’ve spent a lot of time on it, but you have to ask yourself, why, if mathematical, logical, empirical, operational, rational, reciprocal, arguments with tests of scope, completeness, and coherence exist, why it would be that you would argue by any other means. I suspect you’re referring to either mises or rothbard, and the work is here if you want to go through it (as well as hoppe). https://propertarianinstitute.com/2018/10/28/propertarianism-for-for-libertarians/

The alternative is radical self-love, love of country and love of kin. Radical as in roots-based (thanks Daniel Roland Anderson for reminding me that “radical” refers to roots.)

    (FB 1543850706 Timestamp) We understand perfectly well why you choose equalitarianism over kin selection – at an unrecoverable cost to your kin. They are not worthy of your doing otherwise. The most important choices in history are those that increase or decrease kin.
