The most difficult problem appears quite trivial. That is, do we and can we maintain the separation of civic education (religion) and economic education (the grammars of calculation), and craftshmanship (the trades), or do we restore the relationship beween civic education, economic eductaion, and craftsmanship? Because this turns out to be a rather difficult problem of converting the church, or converting the academy.

The Cost of Sovereignty: Every Man a Warrior, Sheriff, Insurer
—“It’s a bit unclear but let’s say everybody is a free agent and as such free to do what one wants as long as his actions don’t impose additional costs to somebody else…would that be correct..? “—Antonio Simon Close, but there is a cost (duty) to pay for such a thing, because free agents are not able to resist opponents, if they are allowed to free ride on the defense of accumulateed and asymmetrically distributed capital. Every man a warrior, a sheriff, and reciprocal insurer, and then every man is sovereign, possessing both liberty (capital) and freedom (action and speech).

Dunbar’s Number and Military Orders
—“Dunbar’s Number is a suggested cognitive limit to the number of people with whom one can maintain stable social relationships—relationships in which an individual knows who each person is and how each person relates to every other person.”— Roman (Wall) 8 men x 10(80) x 6(480) x 10(4800) (legion) American (Packs) 10 x 4(40) x 4.x (175) x 4(700) (battalion) x 6.4(4500+) (Brigade)

Language Causes Overestimation of Similarities
We all have a will to power, but we also have physical, mental, and emotional resources to obtain it with; and that will is countered by fear and insecurity. Language is as natural as walking. But it causes us to overestimate our similarities. Empathy causes us to overestimate our similarities. Submission causes us to overestimate our similarities. Need causes us to overestimate our similarities. And a host of our cognitive biases evolved to convince us we are normal, or average, or like everyone else. But despite all those cognitive biases, we are demonstrably not all that similar in MARGINAL difference in the performance of emotional, cognitive, and physical tasks. We can often judge someone’s ability by their vocabulary and their reasoning – language is how we measure (diagnose) the mind. But the fact that we can speak to people across the human spectrum tells us nothing about our marginal (effective) differences. In fact, those cognitive biases for similarity(indifference) may be nothing other than an adaptation to the use of language, by providing us with greater imitation(of actions), sympathy(for wants), and empathy(for feelings), so that we more readily comprehend one another’s use of language so that in turn we may more readily reap the rewards of opportunities for the high returns on cooperation. The more Empathic, Sympathetic, Needful, and Vulnerable we are, the more incentive we have to find similarities (female) and the Dispassionate, Analytic, Independent, and Dominant we are the more incentive we have to identify and preserve our dissimilarities. Now think about that a little bit.

Um. As Always, If It Doesn’t Make Sense, Look for the Costs
Conservatives are more likely to use an adultery site than liberals, and libertarians much more likely than Conservatives. Why? Um. Let me help y’all. It’s COSTS. For libertarians especially, and conservatives in general, interpersonal connections come at higher costs. These web sites effectively suggest that they offer opportunities at lower interpersonal COST. (All behavior is cost driven & costs vary.) Liberals are always on the market, and the price is cheap. Conservatives are on the market and the price is expensive, and libertarians are on the market and price is most expensive. (via Skye Stewart, via Rolf Degen) -
