September 6th, 2018 11:23 AM THE PAST CENTURY IN A NUTSHELL [T]he 1920’s were grand because we immigrated vast underclasses in the postwar era, and used fiat money to give them credit. We transferred world financial control from London to New York. The 30’s were terrible because of the crash produced by our experiment with immigration, fiat money, and absorbing vast underclasses no longer able to find work. Worse, the mechanization of farming was complete meaning that while the majority of the work force had been engaged in domestic service and agrarian production one generation previously, and the combination of immigrants ending of farming as a means of subsistence production. The 40’s was odd because we were able to use the war to move displaced farmers and immigrants into relatively low skilled high volume labor. This served as a retraining of those under, laboring, and working classes via apprenticeship (job training). The 50s were amazing because the entire industrialized world had committed self destruction, leaving american workers able to charge high prices for mediocre goods produced in volume. The fiat money made it possible. the 60’s was the outcome of raising the children of those workers into the middle class rates of consumption. The 70s was the reversal of the postwar privilege of the us economy, particularly the oil crisis that ended it. The 80’s was the era of using fiat dollars to topple world communism before it could do even more harm, and the equilibration of workers incomes with european civilization. The 90’s was the era of the cheap prices on consumer goods due do the end of communism world wide and the entry of billions into the worldwide economy. The 2000’s was the period of shock as we politically economically and financially adapted to our declining status. The 2010’s are the period of retrenchment as our political, economic, and financial influence in the world wanes and the pre-war- balance of powers is restored. PEOPLE THINK POLICY MATTERS. WE ARE FLOATING ON AN OCEAN OF THE WORLD ECONOMY. IN THE END ONLY DEMOGRAPHICS MATTER.

Agency: Our Next Great Enterprise
September 5th, 2018 8:47 AM AGENCY IS NECESSARY FOR SOVEREIGNTY: OUR NEXT GREAT ENTERPRISE [A]gency is necessary for sovereignty otherwise one cannot self insure. If you cannot self insure then others must insure you out of self defense. If others must insure you then you are dependent upon them as a child upon a parent. You are not sovereign agent, and cannot reciprocally insure those with agency – and you especially cannot insure them against yourself. Western civilization specialized in the continuous production of agency. We emphasize sovereignty. But sovereignty is something we grant one another through reciprocity. Agency over the self exists or it doesn’t – independent of others. Stoicism attempts to produce agency. All other religions do not – they produce avoidance or escapism – with shintoism the closest peer looking backward rather than forward, and the original Buddhism the closest ambition – mindfulness but not agency. And Buddhism does not maintain the western charter demanding heroism, and speaking truth regardless of the consequences to the dominance (competence) hierarchy. If you master Propertarianism (natural law) you will have intellectual agency – all human experience is then explicable in operational terms, and the world coherent and comprehensible. If you master stoicism (self authoring) then you will develop intuitionistic and emotional agency. If you maintain diet and physical fitness – particularly team sports – you will develop physical agency. If you exchange sovereignty with others who do the same, then you will be sovereign. Rome had almost completed the development of a new religion when the Abrahamists worked diligently to undermine the great aristocratic civilizations. The lesson of Constantine is never let anyone other than a member of a noble family that has retained noble status in marriage hold office – ever. The lesson of the Abrahamic revolt against civilization, is that we must suppress all forms of supernaturalism, sophisms (pseudorationalism), and pseudosciences. And the only way to do that is the use of the LAW: the organized use of force to suppress imposition of costs upon the private and common, existential and informational, by using the courts as a market for truth, thereby empowering all people to suppress falsehoods. Which leads us to our charter: —“Europeans do not know how to live unless they are engaged in some great enterprise. When this is lacking, they grow petty and feeble and their souls disintegrate.”—José Ortega y Gasset, Spanish Philosopher This is our next great enterprise. To rid humanity of the abrahamic falsehoods wither they be supernatural, sophistry, or pseudoscience. We have incrementally suppressed the evil in mankind by forcible domestication of genes and behavior in the ancient world and in the modern. The revolt against us in the ancient world brought about a dark age – we were far too tolerant. The abrahamic revolt against us in the modern world using collectivist pseudoscience and postmodern sophism, and the systematic use of pilpul and critique in the reputation destruction of our great civilization – a civilization that has dragged humanity out of ignorance, superstition, poverty, starvation, hard labor, disease, suffering, child mortality, early death, and the vicissitudes of nature. This revolt against civilization, has not yet been stopped – we have been too tolerant. The most intolerant wins. We must rule by our law, out of self defense, and drag mankind kicking and screaming once again into transcendence of the gods we may yet be, in a universe hostile to all but gods. Transcendence by Agency, Sovereignty, Reciprocity, Truth, Duty, Markets in Everything: the continuous calculation of our ascent into godhood.

Right vs Left Fascism
The Purpose of Right Fascism is to punish opposition to truth, reciprocity, duty, family, nation, and continuously evolutionary and eugenic civilization. The Purpose of Left Fascism is to punish truth, reciprocity, duty, family and nation to produce continuously devolutionary and dysgenic civilization. There is every reason in the world for the left to suppression Truth, Reason, Reciprocity, and Science. Dysgenia is in their reproductive interests.

It’s Time To Break Up Facebook
Professor Who Coined Term ‘Net Neutrality’ Thinks It’s Time To Break Up Facebook (theverge.com) Best known for coining the phrase “net neutrality” and his book The Master Switch: The Rise and Fall of Information Empires, Wu has a new book coming out in November called The Curse of Bigness: Antitrust in the New Gilded Age. In it, he argues compellingly for a return to aggressive antitrust enforcement in the style of Teddy Roosevelt, saying that Google, Facebook, Amazon, and other huge tech companies are a threat to democracy as they get bigger and bigger. “We live in America, which has a strong and proud tradition of breaking up companies that are too big for inefficient reasons,” Wu told me on this week’s Vergecast. “We need to reverse this idea that it’s not an American tradition. We’ve broken up dozens of companies.” “I think if you took a hard look at the acquisition of WhatsApp and Instagram, the argument that the effects of those acquisitions have been anticompetitive would be easy to prove for a number of reasons,” says Wu. And breaking up the company wouldn’t be hard, he says. “What would be the harm? You’ll have three competitors. It’s not ‘Oh my god, if you get rid of WhatsApp and Instagram, well then the whole world’s going to fall apart.’ It would be like ‘Okay, now you have some companies actually trying to offer you an alternative to Facebook.’” Breaking up Facebook (and other huge tech companies like Google and Amazon) could be simple under the current law, suggests Wu. But it could also lead to a major rethinking of how antitrust law should work in a world where the giant platform companies give their products away for free, and the ability for the government to restrict corporate power seems to be diminishing by the day. And it demands that we all think seriously about the conditions that create innovation. “I think everyone’s steering way away from the monopolies, and I think it’s hurting innovation in the tech sector,” says Wu.

American Nations: Demographic Comparisons
The population of California is roughly the same as Canada, and roughly the same as the black population of the USA, 37m . The Hispanic population of the USA is 55m, and greater than any state in America. The population of Spain is 60m. The population of mexico is 127M. Fully half of white Americans live in cities, towns and villages smaller than 45,200 people. A full 17% of the entire American population lives in the 20 largest cities but less than 11% of white Americans do. Rural areas ex: Newton IA (0-15,000) 26.4% ex Newton-Wallingford CT (15,000—45,000) 18.9% ex Wallingford-Des Moines (45,000—370,000) 20.9% ex Des Moines-Indianapolis (370,000-1.2 million) 11.8% Suburbs of cities 11.6% The top twenty cities 10.5% IN OTHER WORDS WHITES LIVE INVERSE OF DENSITY
