[W]e don’t really use the term ‘Free Will’, because it is an ideal, and so tainted that it’s meaningless. We use the terms Agency (via positiva) and Sovereignty (via negativa) and Reciprocity (via voluntary, productive), and we state operationally what those mean.

—“Are you in favor of arranged marriages? I am, but I would love to hear your take”— Erik Lukovsky
[N]o, because I am not in favor of selling children into slavery for money which is what occurs all too often. What I prefer is veto of proposal on grounds of insufficient demonstration of compatibility and merit to produce a home, income, and support of children for those under a certain age. I am also in favor of parental monetary contribution to setting up a household and the near elimination of the marriage ‘celebration’ entirely, which has become an absurd debt with which to start a family. via-negativa in all things. There are too many malincentives at present: delayed childhood and its suppression of socialization and mating rituals. Delayed childhood and it’s suppression of work experience in the service of others, and work experience in the generation of trades. The deprivation of the young from income from labor such that they accumulate demand for consumption during the period where they wish to do the most exploration and signaling and mating rituals. The issue of credit to the young who then indebt themselves. the issue of debilitating student loans to the young who then further indebt themselves, the combination of which is to spend the most fertile years at play rather than familial production. The issue of housing interest such that it is almost impossible to pay for a home within the first generation of children, thereby freeing the parents to assist the next generation and save for retirement once the children are grown. The issue of high taxation such that two incomes are necessary for the production of a household, rather than a second income for the purpose of extra entertainment and socialization. Other people’s engagement is the optimum consumer good. The problem is sortition such that we can engage peers, and separate from inhibitors to our socialization.

—“I understood it to mean “we invented the concept of God’s as our highest ideals”.—Carl Onni
[Y]ou mean authoritarianism and monopoly, rather than as in history, an extended family of various traits relying on various archetypes. It is very easy to convince people that what they do is good. It is very hard to show them that what they deem good is bad. Principally because their intuitions have been trained by deception and ritual, because there was no means of training them by reason and practice. No cult survives falsification by science, and no good of cults cannot be produced by training. There are only two religions that are not evil: stoicism and shintoism, with original buddhism simply a pre-scientific attempt (as in philosophy vs science) to produce an insular stoicism; where stoicism sought to produce a civic discipline.

THERE IS NO POSTMODERN CONSERVATISM -ONLY ADOPTION OF LEFTIST TECHNIQUE OF Ridicule, shaming, rallying, straw manning, superstition, moralism, psychologism, pseudoscience, and the denial of truth and reason.
CONFUSING EMPIRICAL METHOD WITH INTUITIONISTIC JUSTIFICATION
Claims of Postmodern conservatism are an error that confuses the universal fictionalism of the left, with the universal empiricism of the right. In other words, no conservatives are postmodernists, they have merely adopted the TECHNIQUES of the Marxists-Feminists-Postmodernists in Rhetoric (industrialization of lying) and abandoned their tradition of Truth and Honor, because they have abandoned HOPE of the integration of the left into the ANGLO empirical enlightenmentâs ambition of an aristocracy of everyone, versus the cult of Semitic-Catholic authoritarian equality, and returned to their traditional Hierarchy of Priesthood, Aristocracy, Burgher, Craftsman, and Peasant, because the Academy, State, Media (priesthood fictional and equalitarian) is allied against the Aristocracy, Burgher, Craftsman (empirical and meritocratic â the parasitic top and bottom against the productive middle.
And as such the natural markets for parasitism (pastoralists and women) against productivity (Farmers and men) continues its long march from 10000 bc to the present.
THERE IS NOTHING NEW HERE.
Islamism-Marxism-Feminism-Postmodernism weaponized against meritocracy in the modern world, is just version two of Judaism-Christianity-Islam weaponized against the aristocratic civilizations of the ancient world.
THE DARK AGES REPEATED
Whether the current generation of revolt (Islamism, Marxism, Feminism, Postmodernism) that makes use of supernaturalism, pseudoscience, and pseudo-rationalism, is to bring us to yet another dark age as did the revolt by Judaism-Christianity-Islam is yet to be seen. But if the current generations in the west are any indication our Empirical Enlightenment will be crushed just as it was in the past, through fraud and immigration, leaving, once again, only the Chinese, Koreans, and Japanese to survive the worldwide decline, using the walls, warfare, and that form of nepotism we call ethnocentrism.

September 16th, 2018 10:52 AM OWNERSHIP OF OUR LINES [W]e no longer own our children. If we owned our children still, we could influence their marriages. If we owned our government still, we could end alien immigration. We own neither and therefore no longer own self-determination of our line or our kin. As such you ask me to do what I cannot in the circumstance, and I ask you to do what we can do in the circumstance: fight to return our ownership – to create an alternative circumstance. The question is, will you fight? If you will not fight then your words are those of a woman: the ridicule of scolds is evidence of their powerlessness and lack of agency. And you are of no matter other than to be punished for your scolding.

September 16th, 2018 10:40 AM NO, SUPERNATURAL AUTHORITARIAN RELIGION IS NOT BEST – AND THE EXTERNALITIES ARE HORRID. [T]he cognitive bias of cherrypicking is everywhere. That is why we must always seek falsification not justification. Our biological need is to create regularity in order to limit demands on our individual and group neural (cognitive) economy. The most scientific method of doing so is self authoring. we can self author by the disciplined construction of virtues, by imitation of archetypes, or by submission to the pack and authority. We do not comprehend this as ‘self authoring’ – discipline of the intuition just as we discipline our bodies and reason through training – but it is as necessary if not the most necessary of the three. In practice only ‘repetitive rituals’ matter. The question is only how we perform those rituals, and what we program ourselves to do by performing those rituals, and the externalities caused by that programming (self authoring). We can program ourselves (virtues), or we can insulate our selves (buddhism, ritualism), or we can take programming from our kin (familialism) or we can take programming from authoritarian submission (prayer and community prayer). We can produce training to defeat nature (west), to live in harmony with nature (east), to an ideal (india), and to abandon reality (semitic). When augmented by festival (feast), sport, and civic ritual, we build training in trust of one another – the ritual of running with the pack is still in our genes. Piety and all synonyms are just submission to the pack. The more competitive the rituals the more militial. The more submissive the rituals the more slaves. China is the most durable civilization, our only substantial competitor, and not in any way like the semitic. Heterogeneity creates demand for authority. Homogeneity not. It was semitic heterogeneity, and east asian and western homogeneity that prevented demand. Just as today, the religion of postmodernism is a result of demand due to heterogeneity. In fact, they have and continue to ridicule us over our superstitions. We have a fairly good understanding of the evolution of authoritarian religion in response to demand for cooperation among peoples with demographically disadvantaged populations. Just as we have a fairly good understanding of the creation of familialism (emperor, king, ancestor) ‘worship’ (thanks, respect) in homogeneous societies. The dumber your people the greater your heterogeneity (number of signal competitors) the greater demand for authority. That authority will come in the form of propaganda (religion) and violence (the state), and not civil society and rule of traditional common law of property (tort). Choose: Kin (homogenous high), corporation (expansionary middle ), authoritarian religion (exhausted low). Human capital determines everything.

[G]od is a name for a hero a people never had.
Those who invent gods do so because they have no ancestors worthy of appealing to for wisdom, or imitating as heroes, or for submitting to the leader of the tribe for the kin’s pursuit of the common good.
