    Excerpt from a Jordan Peterson interview on Australian Radio. This is more evidence to me that your philosophy and Peterson’s dovetail beautifully, I wish that you two could exchange ideas. Interviewer: “I mentioned earlier that this country follows a lot of the US trends, good and bad, we are a little bit behind”. Peterson: “Like Canada” Interviewer: “What do we need to be alert to? What do we need to be aware of? What do we need to avoid?” Peterson: “We need to… we need to be alert to the benefits of the societies that we now inhabit. We need to be grateful for their existence and know very carefully the unlikelihood of their continued success. Now, I don’t understand how we managed it. In the West we have societies where the default assumption between human beings is trust. I do not understand how we managed that… because there’s so many ways that you can be betrayed by someone especially if you don’t know them. How do you set up a society where the typical interaction between strangers is straight? How many societies in the world are like that? Like, 30? 40? Something like that. How did that ever happen? We don’t know and it’s an ongoing miracle and we should do everything we can not to disrupt it because the alternative to that generous trust, that courageous trust, which is unbelievably productive, is rule by thug, and that’s the rule of most of the world.” Interviewer: “So do you have optimism or not for the future?” Peterson: “I think that we’re in a time of extreme chaos. Things could go unbelievably well if we’re careful. There’s so many good things going on in the world right now” … “God only knows what we could accomplish if we got our act together in the next twenty years. The sky is the limit. So… BUT we’re playing very foolish games in the West, and we could bring the house down around us. So, we’ll see.” https://youtu.be/hcDKNNvUR4I?t=13m39s Eric Danelaw

  • Your Purpose? Let Me Tell You…

    Your purpose as is the purpose of every other life form is to perpetuate your genes by the capture of differences in rates of entropy and to expend it as waste heat. That’s your purpose. You perpetuate the temporary concentration of energy as a means of producing higher returns on the concentration of energy. Our ability to think and remember evolved for very simple reasons: creatures that can empathize with intent, imitate, and cooperate without violating reciprocity, can, through the cooperateive concentration of energy on high returns, produce greater caloric capture than any other evolutionary solution the universe has yet discovered by trial and error. However, since self awareness has been a byproduct of that evolutionary innovation, and since along with that self awareness is the need to be valued by (useful to others) because otherwise we would have less incentive to cooperate and produce outsized returns – you need to find some means of surviving while at the same time either feeling not-harmful, useful if possible, and contributory if possible, and dramatically contributory if possible, because this is what status signals and fulfillment refer to. Most unsatisfied (unfulfilled) people are unwilling to or unable to admit their low potential, low value, low status, and low contribution and will not spend the effort to obtain mediocre returns suited to their abilities. hence why charity is so attractive and useful – it takes very little effort to produce outsized cooperative returns for those of even less value to others than you are. This chain of providing value to those less valuable to than you are is how the entire in-class, and cross-class, social, economic, political, and military hierarchy manages to function given that some of us are unfit, unattractive, have undesirable personalities, and are stupid, are from bad families, and bad groups – and some of us are fit, attractive, have desirable personalities, are intelligent and from good families and groups. Come to terms with your status and ability and serve those who need your service. This is why christians are so disproportionately happy and christian civilizations are so disproportionately productive: we are mercilness with producing purely empirical status signals. everyone else tries to fake them.

  • Superiority And Inferiority Are Purely Empirical Measures

    Inferiority and superiority are simply a measurement of agency. They’re purely empirical assessments. Either one possesses agency of the self, the group, the environment, the universe, or one does not. The inferior cannot compete. The superior can. This competition whether internal interpersonal political environmental or physical is the only empirical test of superiority and inferiority. Evolution and entropy never stop. They are ceaseless. The superior evolves, adapts, increases its agency, and the inferior does not, and dies, and evolution and entropy continue their battle. This is not an opinion or a value statement, it is a description of every single process in the universe.

    @ergo_praxis
    The feminine group social strategy consists of disapproval, shaming, ridicule, rallying.But this only serves if your one has value and affection (ahem) to trade. Males make arguments lest they provoke repercussions. Both to disrupt the dominance hierarchy.(Owned) 😉
