    PRODUCING LEADERS NOT LEADING

    by Tim Kay

    To those who don’t get it: Curt’s a leader-producer, not a leader. Which is more crucial but just not the same role. Leaders are those best able to make use of the intellectual weaponry he develops in their respective niches. They emerge from the slush pile that is the audience. It seems to me that there is a core of Propertarian judges (those capable of continuing Curt’s work at his level) who are currently in development, and then a core of leaders (those who can propagate and mobilise), with some overlap between the two.

    It would be incorrect to ask Curt to be the leader because …

    *THE RIGHT ISN”T A MONOLITH*. … Leaders must be discovered in order to fit the demands of the various groups (and their grammars).

    An important consideration is the long-term viability of the work. As such making it about Curt would defeat the purpose; seeding a sufficiently distributed group of leaders is essential.

    To those who are looking for a leader, I would suggest nominating your existing de facto leader to get on board with Propertarianism and so fill one of the niches, or, to keep an eye on the talent produced by the project.



    (

    from CURTD:

    Let me repeat this because it’s the core of it:

    —“Leaders must be discovered in order to fit the demands of the various groups (and their grammars). “—

    I produce political weaponry. One of the weapons is leaders. I am not nor do I want to be a leader. We must act as one, not be led by one.

    Honestly I’m absolutely floored someone made this argument (grammars) instead of me because it is evidence of how far we have come in PRODUCING thought leadership.

    GO GET YOUR OWN LEADER OR BECOME ONE YOURSELF.

    Let me help you. I don’t want to ‘lead’. Especially losers. I want to provide a solution. I want to arm people with possibility. I want leadership to emerge by attracting talent to the solution. I want our people to win.

    And it won’t be ANYONE on the alt right that emerges.

    OK? NO ONE. NEVER HAPPEN. EVER.

    Getting alt-righters what they want as working class men and leading the alt right are contradictory propositions. I’m in it for the little guy. They guy with a job, a family, and who is being fked by the Cathedral complex. And for our people’s persistence.

    I don’t need to be inspiring. I don’t seek to be. I need to manufacture a weapon that will work. And I need people to not cause damage to that weapon through stupidity, ignorance, arrogance, and signaling.

    And I’ve led most of my life thanks. The only reason I end up leading is if everyone better than I am fails. So stop trying to make me a cult leader, OR insult me for NOT being a cult leader. Because you do both. Which is ironic. I am either not a cult leader and therefore not good, or a cult leader and therefore bad. When the fact is I am an educator and solution provider, and that is all. What you mean is, you want me to carry your water. Because you can’t.

    I’ve done the engineering. You need to do the work.

    But your bullshit just hurts you. Not me. I can’t lose. The worst that happens to me is I produce a Tome that will bear my name for years, while I enjoy what remains of my life. The worst that happens to you is exactly what you fear.

    -cheers

    …(2).. hence the distribution of religiosity vs rationality by intelligence and agency. Humans, esp women, have vulnerability to neuroticism (‘worry’, stress) if they lack agency. Intelligence provides agency. Religiosity decreases. Moral behavior remains constant.

    in the old world, of women and slaves only until imposed by force by the east. In the present world only of the lower classes. People who lack agency. Religion appeals to those who lack agency. Hence IQ / Religiosity curve. It’s not intelligence as much as lack of agency.

    —“I didn’t read the original post as a statement on individuals but as an accurate blanket statement for evolutionary reality. The concept of a state as an organized political entity can be defined as the possessor of a monopoly on violence over a geographic region. Even when setting matters of brain structure, psychology and evolutionary strategy aside, we still know men are objectively superior to women in terms of physical ability and strength. Women are objectively superior to men in terms of their ability to physically create life. Superior physical strength is the sole precursor to securing a monopoly of violence over a region. Having the physical ability to create life is the sole precursor to securing a monopoly on the means of reproduction within the secured state. Men will always have dominion over the political base, and women will always get to decide whether they eat their young or perpetuate the State. It’s impossible to not notice the intrinsic value women are born with compared to the necessity of men to actualize their potential.”— by Beth Melton

    I want to inspire leaders. Last thing I want to do is be a leader. I didnt retire from managing companies to write and run a little tech biz so that i could throw myself into stress.
