  • Wisdom that Has Survived Market Competition

    There is a reason the operational name of mythology is “Wisdom Literature”. Because it contains wisdom that has survived market competition for centuries if no millennia. I have a rather defensive posture with regard to the term ‘truth’. So in order to defend the word ‘truth’ from abuses, the correct term is not ‘truth’ (most parsimonious description in operational terms) but ‘wisdom’ (analogy or general rule). It is the survival of this wisdom from market competition over time that provides the empirical evidence of the wisdom therein.

    —“For Russians a true free will (volya) is enjoyed either by Tsar, an absolute monarch, or by free roaming cossack, vagabond, criminal, who does not have to take the wishes of other people into consideration and either goes into unsettled land where he may continue to live unattached, or to go underground into criminal world, or to become a Tsar. Stalin embodied both criminal and Tsar russian archetypes.”—Igor Rogov

  • We Transcend – Together

    Love Thyself. Love Thy Kin. Love Thy Nation. But Transcend all of man. Of course I love my family, tribe, and nation above all. But I also wish every other family and tribe to prosper, evolve, and transcend. Any man who fights for truth and liberty is my brother. Any man who uses truth and liberty to advance his family, tribe, and nation is a nobleman whom I will reciprocally insure. This is how our families, tribes, and nations raise each other into transcendence. And it is the way we build numbers in the world with which to domesticate or eliminate the hordes of animals unable to transcend from beast into man.

  • Aristotle’s Ethnocentrism

    —“Aristotle encouraged Alexander toward eastern conquest and Aristotle’s own attitude towards Persia was unabashedly ethnocentric. In one famous example, he counsels Alexander to be “a leader to the Greeks and a despot to the barbarians, to look after the former as after friends and relatives, and to deal with the latter as with beasts or plants”.—
