    YOU GET WHAT YOU TRUST

    by Justin Allred

    Monarchy – Tyranny

    Aristocracy – Oligarchy

    Polity – Democracy

    x-axis: high trust<->low trust

    y-axis: distributed political agency <->concentrated political agency

    The government you end up with is determined by what point on this scale your polity equilibriates.

    I would have said the same thing less elegantly. But yes. The phenomenon is an individual accurately expression the frame of the people who follow it. And the individual is a good ‘reader’. Yes.

    Riveting. Awhile back I passed on @curtdoolittle thought that #Qanon is a “medium.” This piece fits in with that, from a different angle. https://t.co/7i7hNIpPj6

  • Agency: Yes Some People Are More ‘Human’ and Less ‘Animal’ than Others

    —“By that you mean some people are not human( morality or physiology)?”— Natty Kanya Just as children do not have the self-control of adults, many adults lack the self control of others. While we may learn self control of our bodies. We may learn self control of our emotions. We may NOT learn self control of our thoughts. We use the term ‘Agency’ to describe independence of our thoughts from physical and emotional impulses, from the bias of our intuitions, and from the bias of our thoughts. In this sense, some people are fully human (they have developed agency) or they are not fully human (they have not developed agency) and are still ‘animals’.

  • Sure But How Have Men Dropped the Ball?

    by Lisa Outhwaite There’s a lot of talk on how women are particularly gullible when it comes to abandoning their tribe or being vulnerable to psychological attack by subversive movements etc. and I’ve got to say that, whilst I understand the emotional need in intellectually forcing women into submission, the arguments themselves are quite skewed. How many wars have men been propagandised into fighting on behalf of their enemies? Even as far back as 1900, members of the British Parliament were bemoaning the extent to which the British army was being utilised to serve Jewish interests: —‘“Wherever we examine, there is a financial Jew operating, directing and inspiring the agonies that have led to this war…the British army which used to be used for all good causes…has become the janissary of the Jews” – John Burns, before a full House of Commons. Jews have frequently manipulated the Nordic man’s love of heroism and noble warfare, using him as a war-mutt to expand their power base. (CD: as well as neoconservatism in the usa) It was an all male government, high on universal values and weakened by civilised living, that first granted Jews the right to stand as MPs. Freely handing the reins of power and protection for their tribe over to an openly hostile out-group. Naturally, they made short work of that error by securing 16 further Jewish MPs and a Jewish Prime Minister, who openly advocated for Jewish racial supremacy, in just a few short decades. That natural nobility in European men and a propensity to seek justice is counterbalanced by an idealism bordering on naive. (CD: the down side of heroism) I’m happy and willing to discuss where women have dropped the ball but that analysis needs some balance now. If for no other reason than that a continual shifting of blame only serves to further weaken true masculine strength. (CD: Argument has been made many times that expansionary Christianity, Commerce, and Moralism are just excuses for exercising Aryanism)

    what you call spirituality I’ll call intuitionistic responses – and my understanding of spirituality is that the intuition must be trained just as the body and mind. It is possible to do so by multiple means and abrahamic lies are the worst possible means.

    That still is saying nothing other than “I need excuses to abandon reason, and be an animal, yet still demand treatment as a human from others’.

  • Collective Rituals Invoke the Pack Response

    If I teach you to stand at attention, put your hand over your heart, and speak the pledge of allegiance to our flag, or teach you to speak the lords prayer (a pledge of allegiance) while kneeling, hands clasped, and both actions, once habituated, fill us with ‘a sense of peace’ when performed as a group, what is the difference? The central issue is this: we need those collective rituals to invoke the pack response which generates intuitionistic trust among superpredators who do not necessarily trust one another, and who compete in all other walks of life OTHER than the ritual. Those oaths to a proxy of each other are useful to associate with that response.

  • As a test of agency (man) vs the lack of it (animal) reason, science, and law do

    As a test of agency (man) vs the lack of it (animal) reason, science, and law does demarcate those of us who are fully human from those of us who are still principally animal. We are not equal. Speech does not qualify one as human no matter how sophisticated the parrot.
