  • The Differences Between European Legal Codes Whether Germanic, Hellenic, or Roman Differed in Little Other than Scope of Cooperation.

    THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN EUROPEAN LEGAL CODES WHETHER GERMANIC, HELLENIC, OR ROMAN DIFFERED IN LITTLE OTHER THAN SCOPE OF COOPERATION. (Note that Rik Storey deleted my comment on the site.) The argument that early governments were stateless is specious (questionable). The state existed and is referenced throughout the literature. Applications of the law (“laws”) evolve with demand for them, and demand for them is almost entirely the function of production, distribution, and trade. The universality european customary law, which evolved into germanic law, and the european customary law of the Etru, Ital, Hellenes was as similar as were their religions. As the Lotharingian trade routes expanded, creating inter-territorial trade (particularly between northern italy and the rivers of france, germany, and the north-sea/baltic routes), demand for law increased, and the more advanced versions of the mediterranean commercial codes were adopted. They were adopted in large part because they were logically the same. The church functioned as a very weak central government and power between the church (50%) of the lands, and the states (manor-holdings) was in constant competition – the church then tended to take credit for that which was produced organically. The ancient traditional law of europeans is was of military necessity, natural law ( reciprocity ). The romans discarded hellenic idealism during the romanization of Greece, just as anglos discarded continental idealism in the enlightenment era. Thereby returning it to its anglo saxon > germanic > west indo european origins. The church then re-idealized it. Anglo enlightenment then restored it. The 20th century can largely be seen as a third attempt to make natural law idealized or supernatural. And some of us struggle to restore it.

  • We Have No False Gods.  We Are Becoming the Gods We Imagined.

    The Albegensions were murdered for stating the obvious: that the god of the old Testament was Evil, and god of the new testament Good. The Evil false god of the Jews, and the good false god of the christians. We have no false gods. We are becoming the gods we imagined.

  • Revel in Our Time.

    Only once every few centuries do men get a choice to leave an enduring mark on history. Let us leave one that last TEN THOUSAND YEARS. Sovereignty, Reciprocity, Truth, and Duty. Pity those men in tedious ages. We will leave a mark on history. We few. We millions of happy few.

  • Violence Is the Gold Standard

    —“Violence is the gold standard, the reserve that guarantees order. In actuality, it is better than a gold standard, because violence has universal value. Violence transcends the quirks of philosophy, religion, technology and culture. People say that music is a universal language, but a punch in the face hurts the same no matter what language you speak or what kind of music you prefer. If you are trapped in a room with me and I grab a pipe and gesture to strike you with it, no matter who you are, your monkey brain will immediately understand “or else what.” And thereby, a certain order is achieved.”—Jack Donovan

  • Emotions Are Reactions to Changes in State of Capital

    To put a bit finer point on the argument below, Emotions are reactions to changes in state of “capital” that we either have, or might have: obtaining it, saving it, or holding options on past present and future utility of it. That utility can reduce our physical, intellectual, emotional, reproductive, or time costs. Our “values” influence us in the sense that the value we attribute to any given form of capital varies according to our gender, class, ability, condition, and inventory of existing capital.
