Laconic speech is a luxury of power. The spartans could speak as such because they mastered and made universal, martial epistemology. Most speech is either political or deceptive. The spartans needed neither. Seek power for the freedom to speak laconically. Laconic speech requires deep knowledge of the subject, extraordinary honesty, extraordinary insight, and an audience of nearly equal ability, whose experience and sentiments mirror the speaker’s. It’s wisdom is lost on the idiots. Seek the wise, so you have others to speak to. I think the modern version of laconic speech is the aphorism – which nietzsche mastered (and I try to). It allows us to speak of that which others may not yet comprehend, where the laconic merely cuts through dishonesty and posturing. It is *extremely difficult* to speak in laconic voice or aphoristic prose and it is probably, other than poetic rhyme, and poetic song, our greatest intellectual art.

We Filter, We Do Not Train
As far as I know, Universities filter but don’t educate. Fraternities like universities filter further on sociability. Sports like Fraternities select you further on teamwork. Charities like fraternities select you further on service. Universities are meaningful for selecting you. Fraternities are meaningful for selecting you. Sports are meaningful for selecting you. IQ, Industriousness, manners(class), sociability, loyalty, attractiveness are meaningful. Degrees, grades, are not.

Nationalism is a Test.
Nationalism: If you cannot hold a territory (country) and form a state( monopoly) then the market for territorial monopoly has spoken: you are a failed people. A Country, meaning a State, either serves nation, tribe, clan, and family, or it destroys nation, tribe, clan and family. It’s not that a state is a bad thing. It’s that commercial revenue interests evolve to trump the interests of nation, tribe, clan and family.

Doolittle’s Law Of Market Limits
The limit to the evolutionary value markets, is measurable by changes in genetic capital, and genetic capital is measureable by differences in total number of population and distribution(superiority) of traits. Likewise, the limit to genetic capital is competitive speciation (transcendence). Again, if you cannot state the limit to a theory(‘good’) then you do not understand of what you speak.

Locke(english) Vs Kant(german)
by Daniel Gurpide See the contrast between Locke’s and Kant’s modern approaches to the education of children (a long term strategic project). On the themes of:
- 1/ MOTIVATION: education as DUTY (Kant) versus education as delight (Locke).
- 2/ DISCIPLINE: education for OBEDIENCE (K) versus education for liberty (L).
- 3/ CHARACTER: education via IMPOSED discipline (K) versus education by setting an INSPIRED example (L).
Obedience is the fundamental for Kant, connecting all the way back to overcoming the sin of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden: disobedience. Duty is primary, we should do things because we are supposed to, not because we want to: that is the key life lesson. Of course, kids will be kids and so often disobedient. Every transgression in a child is a want of obedience, and this brings punishment with it: school as a place that quenches any joy you might have.
