(FB 1546091221 Timestamp) SACRED INVERSION There have been things in the world properly made sacred by inversion; we’re doing our damnedest to reverse the sanctity of these things by making them “normal” once again. Jonathan Pageau gives a wonderful presentation on the perversion of “modern” art. He speaks to the world “turning upside down.” I see this as the world turning from sacred back to merely ordinary. 🙁 [The reversal of a necessary and brilliant upending] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUcdDfmjoTQ. Humans have a nature and thus bring a “collective subjectivity” to the value judgement of artistic endeavors. In other words it’s not “simply” subjective. By: G.K. Chesterton: “The family may fairly be considered, one would think, an ultimate human institution. Every one would admit that it has been the main cell and central unit of almost all societies hitherto, except, indeed, such societies as that of Lacedaemon, which went in for âefficiency,â and has, therefore, perished, and left not a trace behind. Christianity, even enormous as was its revolution, did not alter this ancient and savage sanctity; it merely reversed it. It did not deny the trinity of father, mother, and child. It merely read it backwards, making it run child, mother, father. This it called, not the family, but the Holy Family, for many things are made holy by being turned upside down. But some sages of our own decadence have made a serious attack on the family. They have impugned it, as I think wrongly; and its defenders have defended it, and defended it wrongly. The common defence of the family is that, amid the stress and fickleness of life, it is peaceful, pleasant, and at one. But there is another defence of the family which is possible, and to me evident; this defence is that the family is not peaceful and not pleasant and not at one.” Scott Adams, whom I have a great respect for misses the mark in his most controversial (and that’s saying a lot figuring most of his positions support Trump in some manner or another) video yet; the problem of the nuclear family. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hyVK_T9m5R0

(FB 1546125351 Timestamp) Ruling, Governing, and Teaching are three different strategies. Ruling is a military and judicial occupation. Governing a middle class occupation. Teaching an academic occupation. You get a priest, communist, or politician in that distribution ANYWHERE then you’re people are being deceived.

(FB 1546103947 Timestamp) On suspicion, I’ve been watching videos of people surprised by their DNA results. And it’s really obvious they’re trying to spread multiculturalism rather than the history of defeat conquest and extermination evident in peoples genetics. If you understand the basic races and how they evolved and that all the data says is who you share genes with today, then you can grasp that if you’re south american you will have some north african, some iberian, and some european. And if you have slavery you will have either a touch of northeastern or a touch of central african. You will also learn that ONE DROP is a curse that stays with you and your line for freaking ever. If you are northern european you will be some mixture of atlantic-celtic, nordic, germanic, slavic. If you have mediterranean your origins are anatolian and greek, with old levantine and north african. If you are north african (berber etc) you are related to west eurasians. if you are arab you come from the border of somalia/ethiopia and the arab peninsula, and the later ‘marsh arabs’ of the north. If you are persian you are from central branch of west eurasians. if you are turkic you are from the eastern branch of the west eurasians. If you are from old europe (balkans) your admixture can be either very very old european (extinct), greek, slavic, turkic, and some middle eastern. Just because you share a few genes with the Ashkenazi does not mean you have any jewish ancestors, only that jews had common ancestors with yours. Just because you have italian markers does not mean you are italian because the north of italy is german, the south greek, and the Itals and Etru that preceded them are extinct other than fragments, and only germanic and greek remaining any dominance. The UK is a celtic and nordic country with a history of german rulers, and french language. The UK was the most thoroughly decimated (replaced, genocided) early european population by the IE expansion. France is a genetically split country between southern europeans (S/SW), celts(nw) and germans (E/SE), which is why it shows up as ‘general european’. If your genome says you have thai-southeast asian that just means that your native american ancestry with genes shared by people in east and southeast asia. Think about where people lived during the glacial period and that is where today’s races come from. The movement of people has not been that significant. aside from the genocides against the americans the north africans, and the levantines, and the balkans, we tend to retain our neolithic identities. What has happened is that large empires have exterminated subraces. In other words, genocide is the most influential action in history. And that’s not a very nice thing to understand.

(FB 1546102610 Timestamp) JOSLIN ON CONTINUING THE LONGEST RUNNING SYSTEM OF MODERN GOVERNMENT by Bill Joslin I have an admission, a confession… I still, after all these years, see classical liberalism and the anglo-enlightenment as a shining jewel in history; rare and valuable. But it was flawed. The flaw pertains to reifying critical concepts of its success into universal ideals. Namely equality (ideal) out of isonomy (realz), tolerance as an ideal versus tolerance of trivial and arbitrary differences (the real). Now I don’t see that these were critical flaws but rather a result of kinship and common sense being embedded in a long history of social norms of a homogeneous polity. They, at the time, didn’t need explicit statements on the limits to these concepts because they were “self-evident” and taken for granted within the normative domain. Overtime, what was taken for granted was forgotten, and Christian sentiment of universal love blew these operational necessities out of reality and into civic ideals. I would find much joy in holding this centrist stance, but in good faith cannot. I cannot because kin-selection backfilles for these flaws (homogeneity in the founding cultures) and paints a scene of future failure (universal franchise pushes kin-interests into the polictical sphere i.e. loss of unity in the polity). Civic values can provide that homogeneity but will always be vulnerable to lower resolution means (biology, ethnicity, race) We can correct CL, IMO. We can correct the errors. This line of development would put us toward the middle. Completing the enlightenment – which is really what we are doing. But we can’t do that without addressing identity and identity properties (kinship). Which right now puts us at the edge of the fringe. (The flaws currently poked at CL are not what CL was in its initial incarnations but rather what the romantics did to CL after they became the agenda setters in the 19th century)

If you post one, all you are doing is making me spend time deleting. Yes, I tolerate certain illustrated quotes etc. But I just delete that which is not argument. -thanks.

(FB 1546102380 Timestamp) One bit of frequent advice is that if we grow to quickly the idiot factor will be impossible to control. I agree with this proposition, but it can be offset by changing what we talk about as we expand: early entrants are activists that need technical content. Ordinary people simply want to know what such a constitution would look like, how it would work, how governments would work, and how they would benefit from it. They do not need to understand the strict construction of law from first principles in algorithmic and operational language, or that we can test the truth of propositions by subjecting them to tests of due diligence in the dimensions available to human minds. They only need to know that some people can, and that if we do so, its as rigorous as mathematics. Ordinary people just need FEATURES AND BENEFITS. They do not need to understand the detailed process of engineering of those features and benefits.
