    THEY HATH GAMBLED A WAR

    —“We are glad the Enemy are so pleasant with us.

    Their threat, and our pains we thank them for.

    When we have matched our hearts and sinews to these Arms,

    We will in The West, by God’s grace, play a match

    That shall strike their Jester’s crown into the hazard.

    So, tell Them they hath gambled a war with us.

    That all the cities of the West will be disturbed

    With fires. And we understand Them well,

    How they come o’er us against our wilder Ages,

    Not measuring what use we made of them.”—

    NOW WE ARE RESOLVED … TO WAR

    —“Now are we well resolved,

    And by God’s help and yours,

    Play the noble sinews of our power,

    Ours being the West,

    And The West being Ours,

    We’ll bend it to our will

    Or break it all to pieces.

    Either there we’ll sit,

    Ruling in large and ample finery

    Over The West

    and all her almost honored nations,

    Or lay these, our bones,

    In an unworthy urn, Tombless,

    With no remembrance over them.

    Either our history shall,

    with full mouth

    Speak freely of our acts,

    Or else our grave,

    Like imprisoned mute,

    shall have a tongueless mouth,

    Not worshipped with a waxen epitaph.”—

  • Comparison of Indian and Western Group Strategies

    (offensive argument warning) (excerpt from section 6 “Gloom and Doom”…) —“But while the purpose of Abrahamism has always been to subvert society from the inside, undermining the aristocratic class with guilt and bad conscience while stirring up the underclasses, the strategy of Yoga and Buddhism has been different. The minority Hindu upper caste created a religion of submission for the teeming masses of India, the perfect factory of docile and indolent subjects. To the ever new warlike invaders the traditional system of rule in India, wrapped in the language of resignation and pre-emptive defeat, was the perfect tool of domination and in exchange the native ‘spiritual elite’ of the country managed to preserve their highly inflated social status. That is why India, while a deeply feminine civilization unable to maintain territory or develop technological civilization, and easily and repeatedly dominated by foreign elites, has maintained the same system of rule effectively forever. We may now compare the group survival strategies of India (I) and the West (W) and the results they produce: – Genetic homogeneity producing trust /W) vs Genetic heterogeneity producing mistrust (I) – Maximization of agency through self-improvement (W) vs Despondency and escapism (I) – Sovereignty/dominance (W) vs Servitude/submission (I) – Heroism (W) vs Buddha’s begging bowl (I) – Market rule (W) vs Arbitrary rule (I) – Truth of speech and science (W) vs Magic, obscurantism and fictionalism (I) – Reciprocity (W) vs Deceit (I) And as a consequence: wealth, health, knowledge, innovation and progress (W) vs poverty, sickness, ignorance and stasis or regress (I).”—

    Curt Doolittle updated his status.

    —“Alexander the great, when he finally caught up to Darius, found him murdered by his own bodyguards. Alexander was infuriated by this betrayal of his mortal but highly respected enemy. The bodyguards had hoped they would be spared by killing Darius. Alexander had them stripped naked and impaled, so goes the story. The moral? Traitors get the first bullet, even if it comes from the enemy’s gun.”—Zach Matto
