    My accusation is this:

    – one can speak descriptively of the existential; one can speak of a general rule as an ideal to obscure ignorance of causality, one can claim authority over the ideal by supernatural.

    – Man can speak testimonial by math, science, witness; man can speak honestly by memory or history; man can speak allegorically with literature, and illustratively (hyperbolically) through myth(supernormal but not supernatural). Man can also speak falsely by ideal (rationalism), by supernaturalism, by pseudoscience – the name for this is called ‘fictionalism’.

    – That man must have an incentive to speak by other than descriptively and demonstrable. What incentive is there to do so?

    The answer is to justify immoral, unethical, and anti-social argument, action, and strategy.

    SCIENCE IS THE PRODUCT OF MAN AND MAN ALONE – AND METAL WAS HIS MUSE

    —“Science did not develop apart from God somehow. “—

    Science developed by human trial and error – largely in the pursuit of the competitive utility of metal, and all that metals brought us. Aristotle and Archimedes developed what we call the foundations of science today, and aristotle, zeno, and the stoics developed the foundations of law that we use today. These were inventions of man.

    The romans specifically rejected the idealism of the greeks, and it was their pragmatism that led them to build what the greeks failed to: a civilization. And to avoid what the greeks had done, which was philosophical utopianism, and democratic overextension.

    Science evolve little during the church’s reign and often under some degree of persecution. Although not as much prosecution as under islam. Or as much as its total absence under judaism.

    Science evolved rapidly after Bacon. And despite the anglo enlightenment and industrial revolution, the german second enlightenment and industrial revolution, and the current (albeit weak) American attempt at ending the Second Abrahamic Conquest of the West by Marxism, Socialism, Feminism, and Postmodernism, we still have not completed ending the revolt by athens(idealism), jerusalem(judaism), Constantinople/Anatolia(christianity), and the Damascus/Bekaa-Valley(Islam) against the people of action (Sparta, northern/germanic Europe).

    —“Is there a foundation for reality? For us and the universe?”—

    The test of reality is theory, action, and consequence. While our reason and understanding may be incomplete, our actions exist and the universe responds by resisting and changing.

    There is only one test of reality: if one is willing to put a loaded gun to one’s head and pull the trigger to demonstrate one’s belief, then one can demonstrate honesty in one’s belief. If not then you are just lying for intellectual discount, for psychic benefit to the self esteem and confidence, for psychic benefit of virtue signaling to others, to signal shared fidelity in a shared deception with others for political purposes, or to engage in a deception – or all of the above.

    I am trying to force you to articulate a set of causal relations upon which your definitions rest as premises, and you are simply evading them.

    EXISTENCE: persistent(real and noun), demonstrated(real and verb ) potential(possible knowledge demonstrated by action), ideal(meaningful but not real), supernatural(meaningful, not real, and false.).

    What I have demonstrated is that :

    1) Rights do not exist without others to appeal to in order to enforce them. We may want or need certain rights as potentially existential. But they only exist and you can only ‘have’ them once they are brought to potential through cooperation with others.

    2) That one can physically invest in something (demonstrate an interest). One can possess something. But no concept of ‘property’ can exist without others to exchange recognition of ownership with us. One possesses something by physical control over it. One owns something when others insure it – even if by only one to one reciprocity. One possesses property only when the institution exists. One possesses property rights only when one can exercise them in a court.

    3) The scope of possession is determined by your ability to defend it.

    The scope of property is determined by the market. Whether that be one other or a whole empire. The minimum scope of property necessary for an anarchic polity is determined by the demand for authority (the state), the market for members, the market for polities – including survival against competitors.

    Now you may not realize this is an argument that the half truths of non aggression and private property and argumentation cannot survive, but that does not change the fact that they cannot survive this argument.

    Thus endeth the lesson.

  • Scale incrementally destroys calculability(causality, auditability and accountab

    Scale incrementally destroys calculability(causality, auditability and accountability), ergo the only possible method of solving the problem of scale is a hierarchical division of political knowledge and labor, and a purely empirical and transparent method of accounting.

    While the technology for such accounting has only recently been possible, the left has opposed it because they cannot survive tests of causality and accountability. The math is pretty simple. Even with fiat money and fiat credit exaggerating employment, the number of people who cannot produce enough market returns to (a) own a home or apartment, (b) form and persist a marriage or family, and therefore accumulate capital, plus the decline in real income independent of price declines from shipping production overseas, provides us with empirical evidence of who is a viable and who is an unviable member of any polity. So the left fears it.

    That said, neighborhood, town/city, county/region/district, state/provinces, super-regional federations, and imperial federations, can all cooperate and resolve by trade negotiation what federal governments solve by forcible redistribution. That the superior organization is an intertemporal one (private polities run by persistent families) rather than a temporal one (elected officials) is probably obvious now that we have more than a century of experience with electoral governments of full enfranchisement.

    I might suggest we return to mixing the two models as in the parliamentary system, with a monarchy, regional nobility, and ‘digital’ markets for commons, where we divide up the classes. But my opinion is that the highest possible level where democracy has any merit is the regional. Beyond that commons are no longer ‘common’.

    The world is logical once you know its first causes.

    The world is no longer good or preferable once you know it’s first causes.

    The reason the west outpaced the east is precisely because we did not live in harmony with the vicissitudes of nature, but sought always, like our gods, to overthrow gods and nature.

    We did not start from the presumption of an existential eden.

    We started from the presumption that we can create one regardless of nature and the gods.

    GENDERS: HOW ACCURATE IS THE r/K-SELECTION ANALOGY?

    —“some people are saying r/K selection doesn’t apply to humans because we are just on a spectrum of K.”— A Friend

    (I am going to … suppress my urge to point out just how stupid it is to assume reproductive strategies are binary rather than graduated. … I want to smack people who run around confusing an analogy, describing theoretic observations, with an axiomatic statement. sigh…. Now, on to an explanation. )

    I think all of us know that r/K isn’t a binary system. But the fact that the female intuition and the underclass strategy mirrors r-selection (numbers) and the male intuition and upper class strategies mirror k-selection is a useful point for illustrating the different moral and cognitive biases of male and females that we see expressed in all walks of life, including voting patterns.

    I mean, I take it for granted everyone knows that when you select for neoteny you get decreasing dimorphism, and less exaggerated differences between the male and the female. Largely by domesticating the male (aggression) in both genders.

    WE ARE ALL A BLEND OF TRAITS.

    All five (six) major human personality factors(traits) (including intelligence) are marginally indifferent between the genders, but the expressions of these major personality traits in the corresponding ten(twelve) sub-traits differs greatly between the genders in stereotypical ways – just what you would expect.

    So we are all either more masculine or more feminine – which is observable in facial features and body types. (feminine/gracile, masculine/massive). And the greater the level of domestication (neotonic selection) the more likely we will create gender issues and start seeing ill effects in both genders. Hence the necessity for replacing genetic influence with developmental influence (training) so that we produce less ‘conflict’. (Hence why jewish men all seem ‘gay’ and we think (correctly) that those with more heavy features (bigger jaws, bigger noses, bigger brows, darker and more even hair and eye coloring, curlier hair) are more primitive. (‘Cause they are.) I mean. i say this as a guy with an ‘atlantic’ barrel chest, very wavy hair, lots of body hair, despite my rather gracile features, temperament, blue eyes and light brown hair.

    TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING

    Now, you can have too much of a good thing. The east asians have taken it too far (less so the japanese). So, lIke I say frequently; I am pretty sure that we passed peak human. The point at which no further neoteny is valuable. And instead, the problem is culling the lower classes. And I would suggest that the aryans were pretty much ‘peak human’ at their time, and the Dutch prior to the 19th century were pretty much modern peak human. And that we have mostly seen decline since then, leaving the white russians and the ukrainians and the poles and the north germans peak human. IMHO the Finns are not far off the mark today just not as advanced as the Dutch were (or the norman aristocracy). (Much to the chagrin of the rest of the world, turns out that the tall, gracile, blonde, big round head, thing is right. Genetically superior, with an even distribution of verbal and spatial intelligence. )

    REVERSAL

    Hopefully, it seems that we might have been saved by science this time, despite losing 100 YEARS!!!! to marxist, feminist, postmodernist deceit, pseudoscience, and pseudorationalism.

    if so, we can prevent the second dark age caused by abrahamism: the art of lying through massive repetition.

    You wonder why prayer and chanting prayer works? Same reason abrahamic lying works.

    Repetition.

  • BAD BEHAVIOR: IS IT RACE, CLASS, CULTURE, SINGLE MOTHERHOOD, WHAT? (good stuff)

    BAD BEHAVIOR: IS IT RACE, CLASS, CULTURE, SINGLE MOTHERHOOD, WHAT?

    (good stuff)

    —“Question: What’s the causal link between single parenthood and child dysfunction/criminality? Certainly in America the criminality has risen when single parenthood did also. Now, the right generally seems to argue it’s because of the necessity of the family, the left blames it on racism, and the HBD/Biodiversity folk attributes it to purely genetics. Nobody can give a straight answer and they all contradict each other. What’s your neutral take on it? It’s driving me a little mad”— A Friend

    “All happy families are the same. All unhappy families are different. All happy people are the same. All unhappy people are different. All domesticatable animals are the same. All undomesticatable animals are different.”

    A lot of things ‘have to go right’ to make a good person, and any of tem that go wrong makes a less good person. There are a LOT OF THINGS that can go wrong.

    The more FREEDOM (social agency) you have in a society, the more dependence upon your abilities (genes), training (socialization and norms), and education (marketable skills).

    So what you see in the world is that IQ very much reflects what you can do in a society. Because the society must accommodate the majority. So the dumber the majority the less freedom. The smarter the majority the more freedom. This is why westerners work by science, technology, rule of law and the one principle of the golden/silver rule, and why islamists for example simply are trained by the use of religion and repetition like small children or even domesticated animals. that difference is one standard deviation (one intellectual-species deviation) in lower average intelligence. The problem is that unlike the Africans who are more pro-social than we are (for obvious reasons – they kill each other pretty often otherwise), the islamic religion advocates aggression.

    Under-domestication of underclasses, poor quality personality (iq/industriousness), low investment parenting, lack of socialization that provides what low investment parenting does not (getting your ass kicked if you’re an asshole) and the difference in the size of the underclasses between the races so that we actually DO discriminate against one another (correctly) unless we act and dress Conformatively.

    So the answer to what goes wrong with single motherhood? ALL OF THE ABOVE. A single mother, working, living alone, with low IQ cannot distribute the tasks of feeding, *training*, educating, a child, unless his genetics and peers are so favorable that he can be insulated from competition and hardship. In other words, ALL CHILDREN ARE INFANTILIZED by our current educational system because of de-socialization of the right kind (survival) and socialization of the wrong kind (the industrial school system that lacks social competition). And that’s just the beginning of the problem.

    The single-parent problem is only a problem because we have just enough money to live in our own apartments with a mother and child without (a) depending upon one another for survival and therefore socializing properly, or (b) providing in-family socialization and discipline, and (c) providing sufficient social skills and productive skills to find work in a modern economy.

    Markets in everything matter. The market for socialization in a distribution of ages is more important than accelerating the rate of reading mathematics and sciences. There is no evidence that it makes any difference whatsoever.

    Sports, socialization, big extended families for everyone below the professional +120 class.

    I have run out of interest in this topic for the moment but it warrants about double this length.

    We have to abandon ‘all kids are equal’ and ‘all people are equal’ and realize that we have mixes of good and bad traits and saturation in the markets for survival familial/intergenerational, social/inter-class+gender, and economic/inter-skill requires training. And to make a person achieve that in modernity requires training in a particular skill we have abandoned: mindfulness.

    My problem with abrahamic religion is that it seeks to produce mindfulness through deceit. My preference for stoicism, even over buddhism, is that it is both literary and scientific, and requires no falsehood even if myths, literature, and histories are all exaggerations for the purpose of illustrating what might otherwise be invisible in a sea of tedious normalcy.

    The difference is that it is CHEAP to lie (abrahamic religion) and perform nonsense rituals, and it is EXPENSIVE to tell the truth (stoic virtue disciplines).

    And it is possible that some percentage of people (although I doubt it) are below the intelligence spectrum for Stoicism, and that we must achieve through repetitive imitative training (by doing) what stoicism asks us to achieve by repetitive discipline (by doing) ourselves.
