    UNIVERSAL TRANSLATOR FOR ARISTOCRATIC NEGOTIATIONS

    “I cooperate with you on behalf of myself, my family and my kin for profit. I cooperate reciprocally to preserve the opportunity for profit, and lower the total cost of making profits through cooperation. But I cooperate with you, your family, and your kin, if and only if it is more rewarding than not cooperating with you, your family and your kin. And my investment in our cooperation, and my contribution to the common good, is in not preying upon you, killing you and your sons, taking your territory, your property, your things, raping and enslaving your wives and daughters, and that of all of your kin. So let us not imagine ourselves as equals. We merely carry on the pretense of equality in order to obtain cooperation at the lowest cost. And let us not suggest that we possess any debt to one another. We do not. For as long as I have the ability to take from you against your will, it is simply a calculation of profit and loss. And if you should attempt to suggest there is a false debt, then you are no longer cooperating but engaging in fraud, and I will, and mine will, prefer not to cooperate, but to prey upon you. If for no other reason than to ensure by example, that no others attempt to create such a fraud, and increase my costs and therefore reduce my returns on cooperation.”

  • Most of these self-exposing posts are the result of a comment or criticism somew

    Most of these self-exposing posts are the result of a comment or criticism somewhere that attributes intention to me that I do not possess.

    I like to take opportunity for psychologism off the table. It weakens verbal attacks. So I keep my life achievemnts and my personal life, and my personal thoughts in public. So it then requires opponets to propose an argument that defeats it, rather than for me to defend against opponents.

    I am ruthless and cunning and manipulative, I know I am. I cop to use of all sorts of strategic suggestion. I do that on purpose. That’s something I learned from marketing and running companies with people who have no idea what you’re talking about if you speak on equal terms. Its’ why I use suggestion here online – because i don’t think I can make my points in my native ‘absurd detail’. And smart folks know exactly what I am doing. But … I also lay out the detail elsewhere so you can find it – and people do.

    But honestly, my motivations are what I have said they are – trivially simple. (a) elminate conflict through superior communication, and (b) solve the problem of having to listen to conservatives argumentatively flounder, and (c) give my people someting to fight for. (d) and if all else fails, start a fight so that my people will fight.

    That said. I’m a hamster. I’m gandalf or aristotle, not conan or alexander. And personally I think of myself more as a hobbit.

  • I am a very simple automaton. I am a bit of an aspie. I sense everything intense

    I am a very simple automaton. I am a bit of an aspie. I sense everything intensely. I like watching, and thinking.

    But I don’t like conflict. And unfortunately, I was raised in an angry, violent, unpredictable home that I sensed intensely. I was raised in time and place where violence among young men was expected and common. It was horrible. And inescapable. So I learned to fight, to fight often, and to fight with cunning, and vicious. (Mostly wrestle larger people to the ground and exhaust them.) As an adult I carried a gun almost all the time. They are great equalizers of size, and favor thought and calm.

    But amidst that chaos, anger, and violence I wanted to escape. I can’t empathize quite as much as everyone else, so I break everything into these tiny pieces that don’t require any empathy to test – they’re purely causal. And there is nothing left to reduce. I don’t have to rely on introspection or feelings.

    And that’s the secret you know.

    I just solved for ‘Can you damned ignorant idiots just fucking cooperate for mutual benefit so that I can be a hamster? Because as a quiet little hamster, I am too often the victim of your stupidity.’

    I just did it longer and harder than anyone else had. 😉

    And in the end, in my maturity, I understood that unless you raise the cost of not cooperating truthfully, by the threat of violence, that people simply are too damned lazy to learn enough about one another to identify opportunities for productive voluntary exchange.

    Ergo I evolved as a consequence of circumstances to explain the natural law of cooperation – and the dedication and confidence and will to punish the fucking hell out of everyone who even THINKS about breaking it.

  • You see. I made a tool. A weapon. Intellectual weaponry. How you use that weapon

    You see. I made a tool. A weapon. Intellectual weaponry. How you use that weapon is up to you. And you will see, that after people follow me for a while, and begin to understand how to use that tool, they are don’t act like sycophants at all. They may sound very similar, but they argue using this tool for different purposes in different frames, to pursue different tactics. And this is what I want. It’s like doing accounting. You can do propertarian accounting just as you can do monetary accounting. You can measure the sums of many different kinds of things and reduce it to some statement of gain or loss, or some change in the balance sheet. That’s what properatrianism lets you do.

    Now, in ADDITION to propertarianism and testimonialism, I ALSO advocate for the use of violence to restore sovereignty, markets in everything, and the production of AGENCY, so that we conduct TRANSCENDENCE of mankind over the centuries – and exit this ball of wet rock.

    And I know its easy to confuse the science with the preference.

    But they are independent things. You can construct a governmetn of any kind that you want to using propertarianism and testimonialism and natural law – as long as you do it truthfully.

    I just advocate the restoration of my people to our position as the drivers of innovation for humanity in the ancient and modern worlds.

    But I don’t conflate the science with the preference.

    Everyone who follows me does. lol

    WE NEED TO ACT – BUT WE ARE NOT ALL CAPABLE OF PAYING THE SAME COGNITIVE COSTS.

    we need to act. if we cannot understand. it does not help us act. we act with what we can understand. not everyone can handle low context thought. they require the savings provided by high context terms and norms. hence why it is so difficult to change state in a populace with uncomfortable truth and so easy with comforting lies.

  • “How does that statement feel. yeah. that feels right”— that’s how most people

    —“How does that statement feel. yeah. that feels right”—

    that’s how most people ‘think’. Although ‘thinking’ is overstating it quite a bit.

    If your decisions require feeling to test them (introspection) then you dont know wtf you’re talking about.You’re just expressing how you feel using layers of obfuscation and excuse making.

  • THE REASON FOR ALL THIS AUTISTIC DEFLATIONARY EFFORT It is the nature of an auti

    THE REASON FOR ALL THIS AUTISTIC DEFLATIONARY EFFORT

    It is the nature of an autistic (deflationary, context-independent, norm independent) mind to break everything into the smallest possible constituent parts: where causality is determined (axiomatic or closed causality), and to find comprehensibility at that level of detail. Yet still recognize that normals cannot comprehend at that level of detail. And to be frustrated that no abstraction of that level of detail will convey the information present at that level of detail without the introduction of error.

    I have come to think of that level of detail as ‘context-free’ description; and to think of normie-levels of detail as ‘context-dependent’ levels of detail.

    So this is why, when I have an individual or group to talk to, I can listen to them a bit and determine their frames of reference – their ‘contexts’ – then I can reframe the argument for their context.

    What I am NOT good at (and you and others are much better at) is determining a NORMATIVE CONTEXT to use in lieu of the interpersonal context we obtain during discourse.

    So this is why I require such precise definitions: to create a categorically consistent, an internally consistent, externally correspondent, and existentially consistent, and scope(scale) limited, thereby creating a fully correspondent context.

    And this is why I take so much time and work so hard to produce so many series and lists, and so many aphorisms, that state both via positiva and via negativa such that balance and completeness are contained in a pithy statement of observation.

    The great Chinese philosophers (Confucius and Lao Tzu) probably failed for no other reason than Chinese is a high context low precision language. But they managed to create so many aphorisms and riddles to accomplish by suggestion that which cannot be stated in their language with precision free of context.

    Efficient communication requires context and suggestion and truthful communication requires their absence. Loading communicates one’s value attributions. Framing narrows normative context and can be used to justify one’s decisions or to deceive.

    Or very simply, it takes three points to test a line, a series to test a definition, the combination of via-positiva, and via-negativa assertions to test a statement, and a full accounting using all of the above to test an argument.

  • La ley natural de los hombres soberanos

    Domesticamos a los hombres con comportamiento primitivo y animal para convivir y sacar provecho

    Los animales no tienen agencia, sólo obedecen a impulsos. Son incapaces de hacer contratos, sólo aprovechar las cosas que les son convenientes. Los animales no pueden resolver disputas y conflictos de manera honrada, sólo son capaces de inventarse excusas para su comportamiento. Los hombres actuamos con base a incentivos, si los incentivos que tenemos en nuestro entorno son capaces de reforzar conductas honorables, habremos de producir mejores hombres. Caso contrario, si los incentivos que nuestro entorno nos proporciona son negativos, los hombres sacarán lo peor de su naturaleza. Es por ello que los hombres que se comportan como bestias pueden ser castigados o sobornados para ser entrenados y domesticados. Si dicho entrenamiento fracasa, pueden ser abandonados a la intemperie, esclavizados, encarcelados, condenados al ostracismo reproductivo para que su piscina genética y estirpe se diluya y eventualmente desaparezca con unas cuantas generaciones, o incluso pueden ser asesinados. Si entrenamos a los hombres que proceden como bestias con propiedad en su totalidad, les enseñamos modales, ética, moralidad y ley, habremos creado incentivos para que los hombres produzcan lo mejor de si. Nosotros, los hombres civilizados trabajamos con nuestros semejantes: Nuestros padres, maestros, comisarios, policías, jueces, jurados, soldados, generales, constructores y reyes. El animal puede ser entrenado para ser una bestia, un esclavo, un siervo, un dependiente, un hombre liberto, un civil, un soldado, un aristócrata: Un ser humano. Entrenar a los hombres requiere sensibilidad, conciencia, razón, conocimiento y agencia. Pero cada grado de entrenamiento exige más del animal, y muchos no pueden completar ese tipo de entrenamiento y trascender de su estado bestial al humano. Y tal es el mundo que sólo hay pocos hombres y muchos animales, muchos humanos que se comportan como bestias en mayor o menor grado. Afortunadamente, muchos pueden ser domesticados. Y una vez que son domesticados, de la misma manera que domesticamos al caballo, la vaca y las ovejas, al hombre podemos ponerlo a trabajar para hacer cosas buenas, para sacarle provecho, para tener ganancias. La domesticación de los hombres es la ocupación más rentable de todas, excepto por una: El éxito de criar y entrenar a los humanos. Porque mientras un caballo, una oveja y un perro son bienes transitables, producir un hombre honrado es una industria altamente rentable. La educación fue diseñada para administrar a otros hombres, para poder gobernar territorios, parar poder crear ejércitos, producir bienes y servicios y poder tener una familia sana de manera exitosa. NO hay razón alguna para que no podamos retornar a nuestra profesión tradicional como hombres: GOBERNAR. Y no hay razón de que no podamos volver a enseñarle a los hombres a gobernar. ¿que debemos enseñar?

    1. Aptitud (fitness), cacería, deportes, juegos, guerra. – Para sobrevivir
    2. Economía, ética, Ley Natural, Contratos, Instituciones, Estrategias Grupales. – Por cuestiones de necesidad
    3. Leer, aritmética, contabilidad, matemática, programación, ingeniería, medicina, física. – Cuestiones básicas
    4. Estetica, Arte, Mitología, Literatura. – Complementarias.

    Podemos desechar la psicología, sociología, religión y estudios políticos. La restauración es sencilla. Regresar a nuestra mayor y más grande industria y producto es fácil: GOBERNAR. Y si se fracasa, cazar a las bestias humanas que quedan, es la mayor de las recompensas. Esta es la Filosofía de la Aristocracia que enseñamos en el Instituto Propietarista.
