    September 21st, 2018 10:38 AM GREAT QUESTION OF THE DAY

    —“Which is more valuable credit or debt”— Justin Fortune

    [T]his is an interesting question. The to the creditor it represents income in exchange for risk. To the debtor it represents consumption in exchange for risk. To the debtor and creditor both, it represents dependence upon a neutral enforcer (insurer). To the polity it represents economic velocity and the general increase in purchasing power. It is far harder to find opportunities to lend (to knowledge) than it is to find opportunities to borrow (to knowledge) and leverage. So for example it is very hard to find outsized opportunities for interest, but if you have credit available with which to seize and opportunity to capture a windfall discount due to timing, then credit is by far the most valuable. And the opportunity to seize outsized returns on production is far greater than on consumption (rents). Hence my advocacy of elimination of interest on consumption, retention of interest on production, and investment, such that we eliminate rents, and direct all credit to the seizure of opportunities for outsized returns.

    September 21st, 2018 1:26 PM THE THIRD QUESTION OF POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY [T]he question isn’t how we get along, it’s Genghis Khan’s question: “Why should the strong refrain from decimation, enslavement, enserfment, or rule for maximum profit?” The only incentive for the strong is whether cooperation is preferable to conquest. It is only preferable for conquest if it is sufficiently preferable to conquest to refrain from conquest. So, as the Great Khan said: “Given that cooperation is not preferable or possible, and serfdom and slavery are costly, that leaves decimation, or rule for the maximization of profit.” “We might prefer the former or the latter. However the enemy would undoubtedly prefer separation to decimation or rule under out maximization of profit. And this is the wise choice. Since we can still cooperate indirectly by trade while having no influence over one another within the same polity.” The problem the Khan faced is that he lacked the ability to produce institutions capable of sustained rule, just as expansionary aryans lacked the ability to produce institutions of sustained rule for maximum profit. The Indo-Aryans succeeded only under decimation and replacement in europe, not by any other means. So the Khan was wrong. Decimation was actually the right answer.

    —“One of things that led me to follow you and the other guys on here is the way in which your use of operational speech is clear and simple to understand. But what I’ve learned through trying to contribute a few comments here and there, is that writing in this way is not easy. There’s a cost involved. Constructing arguments operationally and ensuring they are free from error, bias etc takes time and effort (and I make no pretense of being any good at this yet). No wonder the left takes the cheap and easy route of using lies.”—- Andy Lunn

    —“I hope everyone who reads these posts on natural law realizes how precious this wisdom is.”— John Mark

    [T]he idea that natural law is discovered science the result of which produces a formal logic of decidability in all matters of sentience is very hard to grasp given our history of moral variation in relation to geography, demographics, and economy, and the multitude of falsehoods we have invented to justify one order or another given those same constraints.

  • The Correct Answer: Our Women Were Recruited and Converted

    September 21st, 2018 4:01 PM THE CORRECT ANSWER: OUR WOMEN WERE RECRUITED AND CONVERTED (a) genetics (we have higher neoteny), (b) homogeneity developed low clannishness although we maintain high disgust sensitivity, (c) commercial societies develop liberalism since everyone is a customer for either marriage, cooperation, business, or politics (d) christianity pushed universalism in there as well which caused the really bad consequences (e) WORSE women cause the openness to suicide by immigration. Men have voted consistently against it. So OUR WOMEN WERE RECRUITED AND DEFECTED JUST AS THEY DID UNDER CHRISTIANITY.
