—“Curt, So the argument that ‘sentient beings’ or ‘moral actors’ do not qualify as “resources” can not stand up to simple deflation of the term. Human actors demonstrably have the ability to benefit and gain from the transformation and consumption of other human capital, in many cases without the need violent compulsion. The only means of insuring the principle that you yourself differ from ‘live stock’ is in reciprocal construction of the notion between those who can demonstrate the necessary agency.”— Nicholas Arthur Catton

Mom’s say “be careful” 1000 times a day.
Boys need men to know it’s OK to take risks at all.
Boys need men to say:
– Get on the roof
– Climb that tree
– Yes, you can jump from there.
– Punch the bastard.

STOICISM FOR ALL.
The constant thread between the women in my life has been each woman’s informal take on stoicism, and the presence of either a lot of brothers, or a participatory and strong masculine father, or hardship beyond which their feminine tendencies were not allowed to survive.
Women need men so that they aren’t crazy (hormonally self indulgent).
Women need children so that they don’t misapply
Children need men so that they feel safe taking risks.
Boys need women so that we have something to care for.
Men need women so that we aren’t pervasively dangerous.
DEFLATIONARY RELIGION
1 – Myths (Political Philosophy);
2 – Markets: Holiday Festivals, Feast Rituals, Commercial ‘festivals’ (Markets), Families;
3 – Stoicism (Personal Philosophy)

( Overheard. Jean. A stoic. I mean a natural stoic in that she chose self-authoring on her own. Describing to someone else how ‘Self Help’ discourses make her uncomfortable. I would use the word ‘creepy’ because that is what she means. That’s how they make me feel. She recommends that ‘kind of teaching’ for ‘touchy feely women’. But as far as I can tell, it’s touchy feely women who need stoic training the most. Rather than giving them means of only making the problem worse by satisfying market demand for experiential fantasy. )

Well, there are examples of GROUPS adopting the female strategy. There are examples of MEN adopting the female strategy. The consequence of pedomorphism could continue to soften the male strategy (at high costs). But women prefer men who demonstrate the male strategy. Meanwhile we are doing what women SAY they want (feminising men) but DEMONSTRATING that they want something different in mates: the male strategy. So either we stop listening to what women SAY and watch what they do, and change men ourselves, or we are defeated by men who do because that is what women actually want.
There are only two genders. If we try to achieve one, we will end up with none.
Bonobo’s only exist because they aren’t worth EATING by anyone yet. Or put another way, bonobos MAY exist because they were too expensive to eat and not enough of a threat to any male dominance hierarchy to kill off. IN other words, bonobos are soft because others forced them to be. We all tend to model evolution in a vacuum rather than as a competition. When the ‘age of apes’ saw a lot of experimentation within the great ape family, and *almost all variations ended up dead*.)

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EFFEMINACY AND ROTHBARDIANISM
What libertarians hold to is that each is the judge of morality rather than external conditions that determine it regardless of what they think.
What they are doing and what is appealing to ‘libertarians’ (whether it is a genetic, developmental, or cognitive deficiency – I assume that like in my case it is an erroneous dependence on introspection) is to ***apply the feminine strategy of demanding her approval rather than preventing the conflict between men.***
It took me a long time to understand this was the cause. And I didn’t like it because it is my intuition as well, but once I understood that ***we care about women’s cooperation so that we buy opportunities for sex and affection, and to prevent their gossip. But no one gives a damn about the approval of beta males, and their gossip, so it just doesn’t matter what beta males think. Men don’t seek approval of other men, they seek to avoid the retaliation of other men.***
I could write a book on this subject. Haidt has the data. The data is obvious. All we would need to do is some genetic testing on self identified libertarians. And we would find very consistent results.
There is a very great difference between granting one another sovereignty and reciprocal defense out of loyalty, and running around virtue signaling that one is unwilling to cooperate except on x terms without providing reciprocal insurance (loyalty).
From this perspective it’s extremely easy to understand the evolutionary biology at work.
I have avoided this particular line of investigation and argument because I feel it is destructive to common interests. So I prefer to deny libertarians the fantasy that they can possess liberty without fighting and reciprocal insurance via loyalty.
I had hoped to merely end libertarianism by demonstrating the fallacies of mises, rothbard and hoppe as mere word games, and that the dreams of a property-commune were just as absurd as the dreams of a commons-commune.
But the science is sitting out there. And the evidence is everywhere. So if I have to go out and emasculate the libertarian movement further I will.
At present I prefer to just say “look guys, I understand, its impossible so support the warrior class and understand that you are gonna have to either operate at their grace, or at least stay out of their way. Because they will create sovereignty under which you can have your liberty. But without them creating sovereignty, you cannot possible ever again have your liberty. because there are no borderlands left.”
There is only one source of liberty: a universal, armed, organized, militiia demanding it from a sovereign in exchange for compensation.
There is only one source of sovereignty, and that is a universal, armed, organized, militia, imposing rule of law, under natural law, universal standing, and universal application, producing markets for reproduction(marriage), production(goods, services, and information), commons, and polities, wherein each man fully insures each other man and his property in toto from imposition of costs.
