Occult: It’s cool, it’s hip, and it’s accessible.
October 26th, 2018 4:17 PM
—“Can someone please explain to me why this occult shit is so attractive? I mean, it’s like reading fantasy fiction for the politically frustrated?”— Curt Doolittle
by Goran Dahl It’s cool, it’s hip, and it’s accessible. You read something like Metaphysics of War, and it’s not that different from The Fellowship of the Ring. Same beautifully constructed sentences, full of poetic words, riddled with lofty nouns that are inevitably capitalized like the philosophical texts of old. One of my favourites is when they capitalize Truth (whatever the fuck that’s supposed to mean). Who the fuck wants to read this “operational”, “via negativa” garbage, whatever that is? It all looks like computer code to me and that stuff is for nerds, right? These kids grew up with this stuff, this poison from Arktos and Counter-Currents. And what’s more, they will never, for the life of them, consider that maybe – just maybe – they shouldn’t trust these jesters and their sources, all of which are rooted in religious texts. You see, atheism or even agnosticism, those aren’t options; those are the tools of the Left. Surely, we cannot espouse the opinions of the Left, so instead, we will regress further and further and become ever more backward until this vile, leftist materialism and its child, despicable Science, are utterly obliterated and replaced with a spiritually transcendent society, which will be guided by religious texts, “perennial truths”, that were totally not written by fools and deceptive human beings, but instead written by people possessed by powerful, metaphysical forces, the names of which are once again capitalized for effect and this perverted stack of lies continues getting higher and higher and higher..

A consulting company acts as an agent that is outside of the political process
October 26th, 2018 9:30 AM [M]ost of the time, a consulting company acts as an agent that is outside of the political process, so yes. Conversely, almost universally, the upper 1/2 of any consulting organization is far better than the upper 1% of any department they work for. The reason is simple: all companies that hire consultants within a 3 to 5 year window, are solving the same problems in all their customers within different political and incentive structures – and so none of the problems are ever difficult – only getting them done in the political structure of the organization. The problem is simple economics: people in companies invest in what they do, and change, success, or falure, threaten those investments (their property). A good consultant discovers these investments and promotes them and illustrates how they contributed to the current success. Unfortunately for example, most tech innovation other than improving user interface workflow tends to be a waste of money and all strategy and marketing and strategic consulting is just a way of circumventing a management organization malinvested in a prior.

“Good people” have been too glorified.
October 26th, 2018 12:34 PM by Jayant Bhandari
In conventional wisdom “good people” have been too glorified. It is assumed that 80% of the society is of decent people, who like to work with others, pay their taxes and just want to fit in. It is the evil, say, 5% of the people who make life hell for the society. My view is that these 85% are basically meat, without moral or rational anchors. They are adrift and can be made to believe in whatever those in power want them to. The direction of the society is decided by a minority of rational/moral people, the 2% as Curt Doolittle suggests. These peopleâwhether in power or outsideâgive direction to the society. It is under their leadership that intellectual and financial capital gets accumulated. Here is the real problem: This 2% leaders in Europe have slowly been castrated using political correctness or have become docile because of modern comforts they have grown up in. As the quality of this 2% falls (rather rapidly), Europe is losing its civilization. The counterpart of this 2% of Europe in the Third World is 0.000002%, maybe less–this is the reason why the Third World is always adrift, rudderless, always tending towards Malthusian equilibrium.

The language of forbearance being withdrawn
October 26th, 2018 12:30 PM
—“No one can say for sure when things will shift hard enough, but if you listen close you can hear the cracks forming. You will know the shift is occurring when people stop talking about what they are willing to die to protect and start talking about what they are willing to do to protect. For the herd that voice comes from a group who is panicked and feels backed into a corner. For the herd that is the language of fear when they are left with no choice but to recognize the capacity of tolerance to carry the load is exceeded. Evidence the herd is reaching that point is easy to find. For the pack that voice comes from a group who is poised to be done carrying costs not their own. For the pack that is the language of forbearance being withdrawn.”—Luke Weinhagen

I don’t have respect for ‘philosophers’
(FB 1540566639 Timestamp) REMINDER: [H]onestly. I deal with history, law, economics, science, logic, mathematics and scientists. I don’t have any respect for ‘philosophers’ in general, and none at all for continentals, who I see as idealist versions of abrahamic/islamist supernaturalists employing sentimental sophisms rather than sentimental supernatural fictionalisms. Sophist, Pseudoscientific, and Supernatural Wisdom literature exists as a competitor to law and science by creating resistance movements against adaptation by enforced ignorance and conformity. I write in what I undrestand is the LAW, which means testimony (measurements) in metaphysics, psychology, social science, which means the end of philosophy as anything other than choice of preference and good FROM the findings of LAW (Science and Testimony). In other words, it is my intention to exterminate philosophy (from the public sphere) as a discipline with LAW just as we exterminated religious theology (from the public sphere) with Physical Science. So I write in law, science, and logic in the structure (outline) of aristotelian philosophy for the purpose of destroying the (continental) cancer of ‘philosophy’ that is nothing but a set of sophomoric and pseudoscientific and in some cases (Evola) occult, drivel preventing us from taking action to impose LAW upon those who would use the same techniques as philosophers and theologians and pseudoscientists, to return us to the Abrahamic Dark Ages of delusionary ignorance.

Grokking a Frame of Argument.
October 26th, 2018 10:31 AM GROKKING “ELDERS OF THE BLACK SUN” FRAME OF ARGUMENT.
—“( When we say ‘Tradition’ we are using it as a noun, a synonym to ‘Perennial Wisdom’) – a metaphysical claim to Truth. See: Perennial philosophy – Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perennial_philosophy Specifically of the Traditionalist School (which purges the New Agey bs) See: Traditionalist School – Wikipedia https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traditionalist_School )”— Elders of the Black Sun 3
[S]o you mean Wisdom (evidence of survival in use of prolongation of a group evolutionary strategy: ie Peterson’s ‘Darwinian Truth’ ) as an equivalent to Truth (testimony that is consistent, correspondent, coherent, operational, existentially possible, complete), independent of preference or good. And you mean Wisdom Literature rather than Scientific (Correspondent) Description. And which Tradition are you referring to? French, Authoritarian, Supernatural, or Anglo, Contractual, Real? I think you mean French, Authoritarian, Universal, and Supernatural, or the German restatement of Authoritarian, National, and Ideal(imaginary). But you don’t mean Anglo, Contractual, and Real (Science). Ok… so yes, you are speaking in Postmodern (anti-scientific, anti-real, anti-darwinian) school of the French and Italian catholic reformists: Traditionalist School. And, yes, you are relying on Perennialism (universalism, and eternalism of the content of the wisdom literature developed under agrarianism and pastoralism, but abandoned under industrialism.) So, Continental (Secular Catholic), Postmodern (anti-realist, anti-scientific), literature and intutionism (anti-calculation). And yes, this is the secularization of catholic authoritarian conformity of the laboring classes who cannot afford to learn, or are unable to learn, and then make use of calculation and computation for the purpose of competitive evolution, and so rely on sentimental stagnation as a resistance movement. Ok. I think I get it. Well, what I really like is the depth you’re going into. Good work.
