  • A Hard Concept to Internalize: Via-Negativa Lying

    October 23rd, 2018 10:08 AM A HARD CONCEPT TO INTERNALIZE: VIA-NEGATIVA LYING [S]cience and Law are via-negativa disciplines. We know truth by eliminating what is false. We know legal, ethical, moral, and good, by eliminating what is irreciprocal, unethical, immoral, criminal, and bad. Science is the means by which we perform due diligence against ignorance, error, bias, suggestion, fictionalism, and deceit – leaving only truth candidates remaining. So, when we say someone is LYING it does not require that they via-positiva relied upon intent. Instead, we require via-negativa, that we take involuntary responsibility for performing due diligence against spreading a falsehood suggestion or deceit. So via-negativa, someone is lying if they distribute a falsehood suggestion or deceit, regardless of whether they intend to. This is a higher standard of suppression of falsehood – one that is necessary to prevent the spread of falsehoods. Because we have been defeated once by the falsehood of monotheism, and the same people are trying to defeat us with mono-classism, and monopoly. We are the only people to create a market between classes and ideas, and everyone else produced a monopoly equalitarianism, or a monopoly hierarchy, rather than the markets that have made our successes possible. People always resist paying the costs of incremental increases in suppression of opportunity for free riding, conspiracy, deception, fraud, theft and violence, just as they resist paying all costs of creating and maintaining the commons: physical, normative, and informational. That does not mean that we are always and everywhere paying those costs in exchange for the most valuable commons we can produce: good information, truthful speech, the trust, economic velocity, and innovation that results from it. Because the only way a small, high-individual-investment, superior population can compete is by producing the economy necessary to pay for the superior technological means ( and arms) by which to compensate for their numbers.

  • My Very Simple Scientific Technique and What I Have Learned from Religion

    October 23rd, 2018 6:54 AM MY VERY SIMPLE SCIENTIFIC TECHNIQUE AND WHAT I HAVE LEARNED FROM RELIGION [R]eligion is, surprisingly, the ‘hard problem’ of social science. Every other problem I have set out to solve (understand) has been trivial by comparison. Truth took me a year. The grammars took me less than six months. And those are very hard problems. Religion was much harder. I use a very simple (scientific) technique, that long-term followers know well, which is to attack a problem, causing other people to defend it, until I understand their incentives. This is a better method of research than reading what other authors opine (make excuses for or against.) I am trying to understand (better than I do now) why the the demand for the God (bad) and Jesus (good) mythos’ (they are different) persists among some people and groups and not others. I have begun to understand it better than I did. I understand (easily) why certain classes demand it. I have begun to understand the different weights different cultures attach to it. And I am ‘testing’ whether (I think correctly) it is simply a failure to provide mindfulness by non-nonsense means (and why governments would resist teaching a non-nonsense method of mindfulness). Mostly what I have come to understand, is that people are ignorant of the available options and their intuitions have been so successfully trained by the one they already hold, that they cannot imagine training their intuitions by any other means. So (a) man needs mindfulness, and (b) and man needs mindfulness to different degrees, and (c) the mindfulness is dependent a bit on genetics of mindfulness (males less than females in general, and females more in general), (d) personality needs, (e) class circumstances, (f) cultural-political circumstances – all of which generate (or do not generate) demand for mindfulness. Now, that mindfulness can be provided by the Hindu Means (literary immersion), the three abrahamic monotheistic means (organized indoctrination) of low(islam), working(christian), and middle (jewish) religion; the buddhist means (training); the rather ‘new age/european’ (philosophy-as-religion-substitute) means; the shinto and ritual means (ritual); or by cognitive-behavioral education that we call ‘Stoicism’ for context. And there is a great deal to lean just from the ORDER of those methods of training: how much infrastructure is needed to preserve the ‘illusion’ of the mythos vs argument vs ritual vs education. And how much ‘ability’ given the means of training (immersion in hinduism through individual education in stoicism). But this is just a matter of WEALTH sufficient to pay for the means of TRAINING vs a given period of time: ie: producing the mass illusions of the ancient religions required an informational vulnerability (absence of knowledge and alternatives) that existed only in the past – and no longer does. So if one wants to produce a religion that is not made of lies, it is entirely possible to do so – with a total absence of religious parables. And instead, a reliance on parables of history, and training in the virtues. Christianity has a very simple set of underlying principles that are constituted in only four statements. Islam and judaism can also be, but to do so is horrifying. Christianity’s four statements are quite simple and will in general produce consequent goods. There is just no need to lie to people and train them to be vulnerable to lies, and train priests to lie, and politicians to lie by the same means in order to teach those four rules. No more lies by judaism, devolves into christianity, devolves into islam, evolves into marxism, postmodernism, feminism. No more lies. People need “imaginary friends, parents, leaders” for very well underst reasons: they have been failed by those around them, to provide positive socialization and training by existential means. We are able to teach truthful speech (science) and there is no reason we cannot provide positive socialization and training (mindfulness) by equally truthful means. Convergence on the Truth: continuous correspondence between reality perception cognition recollection description negotiation, and advocacy. Affections. -Curt

  • Origins of Militia Obligation

    October 23rd, 2018 3:27 PM ORIGINS OF MILITIA OBLIGATIONThe origins of military obligation in England and can be traced to the ‘common burdens’ of the Anglo-Saxon period, among which was service in the fyrd, or army. [T]here is evidence that such an obligation existed in the Kingdom of Kent by the end of the 7th century, Mercia in the 8th century and Wessex in the 9th century, and the Burghal Hidage of 911–919 indicates that over 27,000 men could have been raised in the defence of 30 West Saxon boroughs. In the late 10th century, areas began to be divided into ‘hundreds’ as units for the fyrd. The obligation to serve was placed on landholders, and the Domesday Book indicates that individuals were expected to serve for approximately 60 days. The Norman conquest of England in 1066 brought with it a feudal system which also contained an element of military obligation in the form of the feudal host. This system supplemented rather than replaced the fyrd, which continued to be deployed until at least the beginning of the 12th century. The Assize of Arms of 1181 combined the two systems by dividing the free population into four categories according to wealth and prescribing the weapons each was to maintain. The first category corresponded to the feudal host, the next two corresponded to the old fyrd and the last to a general levy. The Statute of Winchester in 1285 introduced two more non-feudal categories to impose a general military obligation on all able-bodied males, including non-free, between the ages of 15 and 60, and updated the prescribed weaponry in the light of developments in warfare at the time.[2][3] Because it was not practical to call out every man, King Edward I introduced a system whereby local gentry were authorised to conduct commissions of array to select those who would actually be called for military service

  • Here Is how They Destroyed Our Civilization…

    October 23rd, 2018 4:48 PM IT’S NOT JUST THE 19TH – HERE IS HOW THEY DESTROYED OUR CIVILIZATION BY DESTROYING OUR UNIQUENESS: MERITOCRATIC, HIGH TRUST NORMS, LAWS, AND INSTITUTIONS.

  • “Does Man exist, or is he just an abstraction that exists as a universal category concocted in the heads of enlightenment philosophers?”

    October 21st, 2018 2:26 PM

    —“I am questioning the existence of Man (with a great M), and whether or not this history you speak of is in actuality histories (plural) of (particular – not universal) men (with a lower M). Does Man exist, or is he just an abstraction that exists as a universal category concocted in the heads of enlightenment philosophers? If he does, how can his existence be known or proven? I apologize if I wasn’t clear before. I am positing an anti-humanist critique of universal-Man.”— Josef Kalinin

    [W]ell, like any complex phenomenon, we can create a set of descriptions (general rules of arbitrary precision) at every scale (resolution) from MAN down to civilization …. and all the way down to the individual. And we can select some subset of causal narratives to illustrate the general rule we observe. As long as the relations are constant from top to bottom we have not engaged in error, bias, or deceit. Man exists since we know what is not man. Man is anything he is not. Whether we slice(organize) the loaf(category) of mankind one way or another only serves to limit the complexity of relations to a small enough set of causes that they are open to our perception, cognition, and recall. Man became ‘man’ in the enlightenment when the similarities of humans around the world became evident. One could (I have) argued we are different species, and that man, like ape is merely a taxonomic category divided by geography, morphology, and behavior but maintaining (some) reproductive capacity. (That is my approach). Because it is how we treat all OTHER animals. Man possesses an extremely dense neural system which is terribly expensive. He can move and model space like no other creature. He can forecast changes in state, and make tools. He can cooperate (or not). He can make language. He can negotiate. He can make narratives. And he can possess more or less agency. And strangely enough he can create other systems of calculation besides ordinary language. This is a terribly unique set of properties – and we have literally killed off most of (not all) of our competing species (previous generations of man) and probably would have had we not evolved our knowledge so quickly under agrarianism. So I don’t know what anti-humanist means. And I don’t know what else to tell you. But homo-sapiens-sapiens exists. Whether you want to classify man as we do say, Pan, into different chimps vs bonobos, or pretend man is NOT like chimps, where whites and east asians are bonobos (further evolved) is a function of ends you want to accomplish. From my part we are different species and it’s obvious, and man is a category of life forms among the great apes. And the races and subraces of man are species. And I see nothing to argue against that other than to lie for political reasons.

  • The Rationality of Man

    October 21st, 2018 12:52 PM THE RATIONALITY OF MAN (important concept)

    –“If man was logical, and could be moved to action by empirical evidence, then libertarianism would have caught on much more than it did.”— Jesse Schultz

    [W]ell. You know, man is terribly logical given his perpetual dependence on fragmentary information in a kaleidic universe, and his need to produce the greatest returns in the shortest time, with the least effort, at the greatest certainty at the lowest risk, while under the burden (limits) of physical, emotional, and intellectual economy (costs). Man is forever rational (logical in the sense you mean it. Hence why we can sympathize (reasoning), and empathize (feeling) with one another.) and choose to cooperate with one another (predictability and trust) – or not. (You might want to read this paragraph a few times.) Via positiva some of us produce opportunities to exploit, and via negativa, some of us limit those opportunities that can be exploited to those that are reciprocal (not harmful to the incentive to cooperate rather than prey upon one another.) I work in the current era at post-human scale: via negativa. It is for others to produce MANY different via-positivas within the LIMITS of this via-negativa. Ergo, a market not monopoly of narratives (mythos), and at least one for each class. Meritocracy is only DESIRABLE to those who can survive DIRECTLY by their merits. Meritocracy is VALUABLE to everyone who survives because meritocracy INDIRECTLY preserves the incentive to cooperate. Because cooperation is simply so much more productive than any other action we can take (at least over time.)

  • An Anglo, Female, Evolution of Nietzsche: Paglia

    October 22nd, 2018 1:46 PM AN ANGLO, FEMALE, EVOLUTION OF NIETZSCHE: PAGLIA 1) READ IT. I assume most people on the right from libertarian to fascist know of Paglia’s advocacy for western civilization and her feminist’s anti-feminism (her case against over-reach really). But this is a VERY SERIOUS book for the RIGHT. So READ IT. (if I can get a digital copy I will add it to our FREE LIBRARY.) 2) PAGANISM – Paglia does an excellent job of illustrating how europeans have preserved paganism (Heathenism) and how it has survived despite the authoritarianism of monopoly monotheism (Semitism). 3) NIETZSCHE – Paglia makes the case in ‘not-so-silly-german-prose’ of anglo historical analysis, why Nietzche’s analysis (Restoration of our Natural Religion, Values, and Education) is so necessary – and an antidote to the second wave of semitic invasion we call Marxism/Postmodernism/Feminism.
