“THE END OF THE ERA OF STRATEGIC PATIENCE” Pence said that yesterday, and it sums up our era: conservatives have ended the era of paternal patience. At some point the father decides the child is a net loss if left to his own devices, while the mother preserves motherly blindness, empathy, and hope. I called the previous generations of conservatives and libertarians the ‘hopeful’ era, and that our era is defined by our loss of hope. Our loss of hope can be seen in our initial optimism, increasing frustration, last ditch efforts, and finally, our loss of hope, and our development of conviction.

Insight Into Money: Tokens for Hydrocarbons.
Apr 21, 2017 10:43am THE USD and EURO function as the Reserve Token Money for the purchase of the commodity money: hydrocarbons, and the USA uses its premium for the financing of the world military, and the Europeans use their premium to delay the onset of the collapse of their generous redistribution scheme. Now, what happens if say, iran or russia or both are able to determine obtian sufficient control over hydrocarbon distribution that they can require hydrocarbons are purchased with their token money? Well the USA and Europe will no longer be able to sell their token money. And so the USA will not be able to apy for its military, and europe for its generous redistribution scheme. The USA and canada can produce sufficient hydrocarbons and if necessary nuclear energy without going to the internatinoal market for additional supply. But europe cannot, and must in turn become a client state of either russia, iran, or both.

The Relationships Within The Hierarchy of Laws
THE RELATIONSHIPS WITHIN THE HIERARCHY OF LAWS 1) Laws of Nature: Equilibria: The DISCOVERY of which is the subject of physical science. We can know the first causes of the deterministically equilibrial universe – but we cannot sense them without extensive work. 2) Laws of Man: man is an expensive organism fighting the dark forces of time, ignorance, and scarcity, and must act to acquire, and in acting to acquire, acts rationally (to ensure returns – in the greatest return for the least effort, in the shortest time, with the greatest degree of certainty at the lowest risk); and in acting rationally, must conserve physical, emotional, and mental energy, and expend physical, emotional, and mental effort; and can choose to cooperate with others, prey upon others, or boycott others at all times; and may make use of violence, remuneration, or gossip(lauding/shaming), to do so. 2) Natural Law: Non-Parasitism, leaving Reciprocity as the only possible action, because only by non parasitism do we produce the incentive to cooperate rather than prey upon, retaliate against, or boycott. We can know the first cause of reciprocity through direct observation, and we do know it. We cannot implement reciprocity without extensive work (institutions) which allow us to concentrate our forces. 3) Natural RIghts: The methods of insuring natural law, by an insurer of last resort (militia, military, judiciary, monarchy). We cannot implement those institutions without rules by which institutions may enact processes, independently of subjective opinion. 4) Property in toto: the means of commensurability (measurement) between our actions: changes in state of property in toto exist in reality (laws of nature), limited by the abilities of man’s action (laws of man), violate or do not violate reciprocity (rule of law), and are insured or not insured by institutions (natural rights), and can be measured or not measured by changes in property in toto. FRAMING: Laws of Nature > (limits of, methods of transformation) … Laws of Man > limits of, methods of action) … … Laws of Cooperation > (limits of and methods of cooperation.) … … … Laws of Information > ( limits of and methods true Speech) … … … … Laws of Sentience > (limits and methods of ‘thinking’)

The Scope of Propertarianism
THE SCOPE OF MY WORK ON PROPERTARIANISM: Propertarianism’s Natural Law includes: Transcendence, Agency, Sovereignty, Reciprocity, Decidability, Markets for Association, Cooperation, Production, reproduction, production of commons, production of polities, production of group evolutionary strategies at all levels. Let’s look at that again as a hierarchy: 1) Transcendence (of man to human then to gods.) 2) Agency, (by the production of agency) 3) Sovereignty, (by the demand for sovereignty) 4) Reciprocity, (limiting us to reciprocity) 5) Decidability, (providing us with decidability) 6) Markets: (limiting us to voluntary markets) … Association, … Cooperation, … Production, … Reproduction, … Production of commons, … Production of polities, … Production of group evolutionary strategies at all levels. (and in the end producing eugenic evolution without intentional design) 7) Property (property in toto. The method of commensurability of changes in state via reciprocity.) 8) The Logic, Grammar and Syntax of Cooperation. 9) Testimonialism: the means of warranty of due diligence against error, bias, wishful thinking, suggestion, obscurantism and deceit. Western civilization has disproportionately raised mankind out of superstition, ignorance, poverty, tyranny, and disease in short order in both the ancient and modern eras. We achieved this through the use of soverignty, deflationary truth and deflationary organizations, producing competition as the means of testing all possible ideas, information, services, and products. Because we rely on constantly changing markets we can respond to changes in markets, and our institutions must respond to changes in markets for violence, gossip, and remuneration. And we are able to do this because for most of our history we have incrementally expanded natural law – markets into all walks of life, ensuring that we can adapt faster than other civilizations to change – even if that means we have generation long wars in order to change between eras: but at least we change while others stagnate. So while some of us desire the experiential consumption made possible by the west’s civilization, and others desire ‘not to be defeated by evil’, others desire sovereignty, others desire clan, tribal, national, or racial persistence – others desire the transcendence of man. And all of these desires can be fulfilled under natural law as long as we are willing to prevent those who are unwilling and unable to participate in that effort from reproduction. The opposite view is simply the opposite desires across the same spectrum: current consumption, and persistence of one’s genes despite the evidence that they force costs on mankind for eternity. Natural Law completes the sciences up to sentience. We cannot solve sentience with the information currently at our disposal, although it appears that it is on the horizon of our abilities.

It All Makes Sense if You Tell the Empirical Truth About Man.
Apr 21, 2017 7:42pm IT ALL MAKES SENSE IF YOU TELL THE EMPIRICAL TRUTH ABOUT MAN. (possibly shocking) If you have negative rights (rule of law) that does not mean you have demonstrated capacity for positive rights (the right to influence others). Only that you are not a harm to others. . The payment of negative rights by doing nothing BAD buys you access to the market and juridical defense in the courts: freedom. What do you do to demonstrate ADEQUACY that you are equally capable of access to physical property and the security and preservation f the commons? (LIBERTY) What do you demonstrate that in itself demonstrates that you are capable of doing something GOOD by the non-harmful use of positive rights? (voting) (SOVEREIGNTY) Pay your way to freedom and juridical defense: non-imposition of costs. Pay your way to liberty and property ownership: service in defense, emergency, and the preservation of the peace (every man a sheriff). Pay your way to Sovereignty and the decisions about the polity: service, family, property(territory), industry (the employment of others.) Pay your way into Aristocracy: the intergenerational preservation of all of the above. child or beast(pre-human) > slave(youth) > serf(soldier) > freeman(citizen) > liberty(responsibility) > sovereignty(choice) > aristocracy(rule).

Yes, Of Course I’ve Considered it…
—“Curt, have you considered writing your own material on violence, incremental suppression and domestication in to a book?”— Long time followers know that I made my first draft in 06, another in 09/10, another in ’13, another last year 15/16, and that each time I draft it, I learn ‘what’s missing’. Last fall I couldn’t put my arms around it, but it was Agency. Right now, given Transcendence /Agency, I can’t find anything ‘that’s missing’. Also, every six months I get better at communicating the ideas and at present I feel pretty good, as long as I don’t have to cross too many sigma of iq. If I had launched the work before now I would have failed. Next, there are sort of three formats to publish in. One is a skeleton of the innovations. The second is the skeleton plus readings leaving interpretation of ‘voice’ up to the reader. The third is more ‘traditional’ educational form, where you walk the reader through it, with your own voice. The skeleton is easily published now as a set of definitions, series, and explanations, culminating in a constitution of natural law. I can augment this skeleton with selected short readings of my own on the application of that law; and with selected writings from history; and with selected historical literature. Producing a more traditional ‘law’. One that is absent my ‘voice’. But can take the place of wisdom literature that is durable over time. And then to produce a class online that performs the teaching function, and that includes my voice. This will be less durable over time, since we must speak in different language to the audience in every generation. Anyone with a little effort can grasp the skeleton from the Overview readings. I know becuase others have. And I don’t think those ideas are terribly difficult – what is difficult is replacing everyone’s existing ‘framing’, that includes justificationism, majoritarianism, and persuasion, rather than criticism, reciprocity, and rule. Retraining your mind, if you are not naturally ‘neutral’ (aspie) is pretty difficult. I mean, ratio-empirical-reciprocal-operational-and-fully-accounted, is not difficult to separate ratio-empiricism-correlative is not difficult to separate from rational-and-reasonable, which is not difficult to separate from mythical-supernormal, whch is not difficult to separate from religous-supernatural. What is hard is transitioning people from a lower method of truth testing requiring less information, to a higher method of truth testing requiring more information. Every time we do it, we encounter vast resistance. Western civilization needs a small number of us to form the counter revolution against the frankfurt school and restore the western ‘scientific’ civilization. So that’s what I’m looking for. Yet, as a group, we need this book. We need Natural Law of Sovereign Men: the Cult, Philosophy, Law, and Science, of Western Civilization. The basis from which all our sub-disciplines evolved. It’s a very simple set of rules that ask us to live in correspondence with reality, since by acting in correspondence with reality we obtain an advantage over all those others who do not so much conform to reality. And simply because we will evolve all aspects of our society faster than all other societies if we do. Which is what we have done. IN CLOSING So I am again trying to produce another draft that is this time, shortest of all, and is closest to the literary model put forth in the 48 Laws of Power, and which is sufficiently structured as wisdom literature that it does not ‘decay’ with the generation that it was first written for. I have a very hard time with this. And it makes me appreciate spinoza, who worked by the same principle, toward different ends.
