  • Q: How Can I Learn About Propertarianism or Natural Law?

    October 22nd, 2018 11:44 AM Q: HOW CAN I LEARN ABOUT PROPERTARIANISM OR NATURAL LAW?

    —“I’m interested in learning about your stance on propertarianism. So, how do you define the natural law? It’s something I’ve been searching and curious about for some time. And how does Propertarianism relate to this? In fact, I’m curious about the whole thing to be honest”— A Friend

  • Wotan Gives Us a Hard Heart

    October 22nd, 2018 10:34 AM WOTAN GIVES US A HARD HEART

    “Wotan placed a hard heart in my breast,” is what an old Scandinavian saga says: the poet who said this caught correctly what springs straight from the soul of a proud Viking. Such a type of man is proud of the very fact that he has not been made for compassion: which is why the hero of the saga adds in warning, “If a man does not have a hard heart when young, it will never harden”. The noble and the brave who think like this are the furthest from that morality that sees the badge of morality precisely in compassion or in doing things for others or in selflessness; one’s faith in one’s self, one’s pride in one’s self, a basic animosity and irony towards selflessness belongs just as definitely to noble morality as a mild contempt and wariness towards compassionate feelings and the warm heart”— Nietzsche, from the Genealogy of Morals.

  • “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.

  • It’s a Bit Like Studying for A STEM+L Degree

    October 21st, 2018 12:35 PM UNDERSTANDING PROPERTARIANISM IS A BIT LIKE STUDYING FOR A STEM+L DEGREE. THAT’S WHY IT TAKES TIME. IT’S NON-TRIVIAL.

    —“I’m having a hard time understanding propertarianism tbh. I’m reading your articles on the website but still….what should I do?:— Ayham Nedal

    [O]ur Reading List helps with general knowledge so that you can tell we know what we’re talking about. Propertarianism consists of a broad set of concepts that produce a logic and science of social science in all its uses. We draw terms and ideas from math to logic to philosophy to law to economics to the sciences. And it’s because we do so, that we were able to UNITE THE SCIENCES into a SINGLE LANGUAGE consistent across all of them, thereby eliminating the silos, and allowing us to identify the falsehoods or imprecisions in each of them. So we include books on every major subject in social science. The Introductions to Propertarianism are very helpful. They are: The CONCEPTS: 1) https://propertarianinstitute.com/basic-concepts/ (Which I should fill out a bit more if I get some time) AND THE CORE 2) https://propertarianinstitute.com/2016/01/05/an-overview-of-propertarianism-for-serious-newbies/ Libertarianism (Mises, Hayek, Haslitt, Rothbard, Hoppe), tried very hard to unite social science, economics, law, and politics but they were not successful. However, if you understand libertarianism, Ely Harman’s introduction is very helpful in helping with the transition. We probably should write a transition document for the Dark Enlightenment folk (Moldbug), and for Classical Liberals, and for Fascists. But we have only so much time…. HISTORY The cycles of history, and the competition between the Western (Science/Law), Asian (military/political), and Semitic (Religion,Mythology), is something almost anyone can understand. The secret to the west is easy to understand (computational velocity by sovereignty, reciprocity, natural law, markets in everything).. MANKIND The Acquisitionism (psychology), Propertarianism (ethics), and the Class System, and Perfect Government, are not difficult. but require learning some precise terms. This is harder than it should be in my opinion and I don’t know why it’s difficult. It’s just training yourself to categorize by property rather than moral norms. LOGIC Testimonialism (grammars, logic, scientific speech, and the geometry of meaning) is extremely challenging if you do not have experience in philosophy of science, math, and logic. and writing arguments in natural law (balanced transactions) takes quite a bit of practice. This is hard. But, it’s the entire basis of the program. Because it is the completion of the scientifc method that’s based upon testimonialism, and our ability to suppress fraud and deceit in the commons (political speech) is dependent upon encoding Testimonialism (a checklist of due diligences) into the law. IT’S BIG This is a bigger scope of work than Marxism. So we cover the entire spectrum of metaphysics, psychology, testimony (truth), ethics, sociology, politics, law, group evolutionary strategy, and war. Lastly, just ASK US. if I don’t answer, someone else will. We KNOW that we have to make a course for it. The course outline is already on the site. But without the book(s) it is not going to be easily taught. So everyone (me included) is waiting on me to finish – and it’s killing me…. lol.
