    (diary)

    Thinking trying to understand the disconnect between my thinking, my work, and the online community, and … how I’m misled by that online community.

    My family is and was Puritan. Activist Military, Politicians, Puritans. Lawyers, Preachers, Businessmen, Craftsmen.M y family has been military since before the Norman invasion. I grew up with that influence. I grew up in new England in an new England family. I read military history and encyclopedias and the great science fiction, which was mythology restated in technological terms. Samuel Colt was my childhood hero.

    I think I intuit (understand) military people in the pre-war sense of aristocracy, middle-class, and soldiery: as ‘society’. I do not understand military in the combined arms sense of a bureaucracy.

    I understand Aristocracy, the constitution, and christianity as my ancestral ‘religion’.

    The only people that matter are ‘men’. Men in the Military Aristocracy, the military and in the police forces, the sheriffs, and those of us who are already “every man a sheriff”, and the first responders. The rest are not ‘owners’ of the polity -they are merely operators, participants, beneficiaries, or parasites.

    So that’s the disconnect. That’s what’s been bothering me with the libertarian community. What[s been bothering me with the online community. What’s been bothering me with the ‘whiny bitchy losers’.

    They have no agency. Because only men have agency. And aristocracy from the monarchy to the boys in the luggage consists exclusively of ‘men’.

    Sorry for taking your time, just trying to figure out how to go forward with strategy given what I’m learning as the window shifts, and as certain things ‘bubble up’ in my mind from the work I’m doing.

    I’ve been struggling with the knowledge that as soon as I publish i’m going to end up in a worse position than Macdonald and Duchesne, because I’m proposing solutions. So talking it over with a friend today (my “Therapist”) and helped me realize that my defense is pretty easy:

    1) It’s true. period.

    2) It will make the world a better place – and fast.

    3) And the cost is intolerance, rectification, and escalating restitution, and punishment of those who did harm.

    So the problem is, if you don’t want those things, what’s your defense?

    As a man you’d be loyal to the hierarchy, loyal to the business, absorb hardship on their behalf, limit your interjection and opinion to the materially relevant, never suggest wasting resources on consumption, discover competitive opportunities more often, and gossip-undermine less.

    P-LOGIC

    1) Everyone acts to acquire. Life is an expensive means of defeating entropy. Acting improves acquisition – at additional cost. Memory improves acquisition – at additional cost. reason improves acquisition – at additional cost. cooperation improves acquisition – at additional cost.

    2) We all act in furtherance of our reproductive strategy. Female (Consume), Neutral(Exchange), and Male (Capitalize)

    3) Male and Female reproductive strategies are in conflict. The female seeks to breed impulsively where it benefits her lineage, and then force the cost of her offspring on the tribe, and to further her offspring regardless of merit. The male seeks to breed impulsively wherever it does not harm his lineage, and to create a tribe capable of resisting conquest by other males – and as such males act meritocratic-ally. Men are political and divided into kin and non-kin – the universe is male. For women, men are marginally indifferent herdsmen of women. Women live in a world of women, and both men and the universe are alien.

    4) Humans compete for status because status provides discounts on opportunities to acquire – especially mates and allies in cooperation. We can identify at least three horizontal axes of class division: biological (reproductive desirability), social (status desirability), economic (wealth desirability) – as well as their undesirable opposites.

    5) There exist only three means of coercing other humans to cooperate with on one means or end vs cooperate with others on different means or ends. These three means of coercion can be used to construct three vertical axes of class specialization: coercion by force(conservatism/masculine), coercion by gossip(progressivism/feminine), coercion by remuneration (libertarianism / neutral masculine). Human elites are formed by those who specialize in one or more of these means of coercion. (gossip: public intellectuals and priests. force: military and political. exchange: voluntary organizations, including the voluntary organization of production.

    6) Language is purely justification negotiation in furtherance of our acquisition by these three means. ergo: All ‘belief’ is justification to the self and others in furtherance of acquisition. It is meaningless. Statements of justification only provide us with information necessary to deduce what it is that we wish to acquire.

    7) Cooperation is a disproportionately more productive means of acquisition than individual production.

    8) We seek discounts on our acquisitions. Some of these discounts are productive and moral and encourage cooperation, and some of them are unproductive and immoral, discourage cooperation, and invite retaliation.

    9) The only moral acquisition is one in which one either homesteads something new or obtains it by productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary exchange, where external transfers are limited to the same criteria.

    10) Aristotle’s ‘golden mean’ is an inarticulate primitive expression of the supply-demand curve. All human acquisition takes place within the pressures of supply and demand. As such all explanations of human action must be produced using supply and demand curves: the golden mean.

    11) All human considerations and consequent actions take place in high causal density, choices determined by means of opportunity costs, and any analysis requires we show the choices that an individual or group is considering. (Full Accounting).

    12) We cooperate and coerce in large numbers, as classes with common reproductive interests to using narratives at every scale. Science and moral law are the only means of resolving conflicts between these narratives. Propertarian analysis provides means of amoral analysis, argument and decidability between these loaded, framed, and obscured arguments.

    13) Groups evolve evolutionary strategies and supporting narratives. While none of these strategies by any given group is fully moral, it is still true that we can compare strategies as more and less objectively moral. We can measure the differences in objective morality by the degree of suppression of free riding in that given society.

    14) In all political matters, ultimate decidability is provided by a bias to suicidal, proletarian and dysgenic, or competitive, aristocratic and eugenic reproduction. The myth of equality (the Christian mythos) was let loose by the middle-class takeover of the aristocratic governments, and the eventual enfranchisement of women whose reproductive strategy under industrial production is dysgenic – reversing 7,000 years of indo european genetic pacification (eugenic evolution). This is a very unpleasant and impolitic topic. But it is where we find decidability.

    THE SIMPLE METHOD: INCENTIVES AS ACQUISITION

    1) take any circumstance in which someone is attempting to persuade someone else.

    2) identify the reproductive strategy of the speaker (largely by gender, class, and coercive technique.)

    3) identify the property-in-toto that the speaker is attempting to acquire.

    4) determine if his or her method is advocating a moral transfer(productive) or an immoral transfer (parasitism).

    5) Determine which discounts (thefts) he or she is attempting to engage in, or which premiums (payments) he or she is offering in exchange.

    6) State the user’s request in amoral propertarian terms free of loading, framing, or overloading. In other words, make a purely logical argument free of sentimental loading.

    Moreover I’ve come to understand that there is a demand for a form of stoicism (cognitive behavioral training and therapy) to produce mindfulness in lieu of homogenous family, society, economy and polity and prayer/church – and that the ‘therapy’ community is harmful:Dark Ages 2.

    @StefanMolyneux I have come to understand that like Peterson you are using reason to produce limited personal Agency by means of therapy and education like Buddhists. You are not using reason to produce unlimited personal, social, and political agency,as a means of Transcendence like Stoics.
