(It was just as important to domesticate women’s reproductive impulses to reflect economic needs rather than military needs, as it was to domesticate man’s military impulses and redirect them to economic needs. We have systematically forced both men and women out of parasitism and into production – and it’s hard to be productive.)

ANCIENT GROUP STRATEGIES WRIT LARGE
– FORESTLANDS: Aristocratic Ethics: What will someone not retaliate against even if we agree to it?(rulers/teleological ethics:outcomes) The ethics of warriors who must hold territory. This is a very high cost strategy because while professional warrior aristocracy is militarily superior, smaller numbers mean threats must be constantly suppressed when small, as soon as identified.
– BORDERLANDS: Cosmopolitan(Jewish) Ethics: What will someone consent to Regardless of future resentment and retaliation? (borderland/subculture/deontological ethics:rules) The ethics of diasporic, migrating traders, or herding peoples who can prey upon the locals who hold territory. This is a very low cost (parasitic) ethics that avoids all contribution to the host commons, but requires preserving the ability to exit (migrate). It is the raider strategy by systemic and verbal rather than physical means.
– STEPPELANDS: Russian(Orthodox) Ethics: What can I get away with now by negotiation and subterfuge, and hold by force later? (steppe raiders) The ethics of steppe people surrounded by competitors, always hostile and unpredictable. This is a difficult and expensive but only possible strategy, when one is surrounded by hostile opportunity seekers. While seemingly expansive, it’s actually a fearful one – aggression as the only possible means of controlling defensive positions across open territory.
– RIVERLANDS: Chinese Ethics: What can I get away with now, but over time make impossible to change later? The ethics of long term ruling bureaucratic class. Sun Tzu strategy, and Confucian hyper familism. This is an exceptionally cost-effective strategy if one possesses a territorial resource (heartland), and can fortify that heartland. Riverlands strategy defends against Steppland and Desertland strategies.
– DESERTLANDS: Muslim Ethics: (I am still working on this one because I don’t get that it’s causal, but opportunistic.) What can I justify now in order to make this minor advance now? And thereby accumulate wins by wearing down opponents over long periods. The ethics of opportunism. As far as I can tell islam is just an excuse for justifying opportunism. We can consider this the combination of religion and justifying opportunism – a long term very successful strategy becuase it’s very low cost.
– HOSTILELANDS: African Ethics (pre-christian). Africa is akin to the Desertlands because of the sheer number of competitors, the hostility of the disease gradient, the plethora of wildlife, combined with the primitiveness of the available technologies. This is the only possible strategy until one or more core states can evolve, and create sufficient stability in some regions. (this is occurring now).
CIVILIZATIONS NOT STATES
It is a mistake (always), to consider conflicts within states over local power (capital allocation), as of the same consequence as conflicts between civilizations over borders. Because the former is a kinship conflict over priorities, while the latter is a genetic conflict over group evolutionary strategies.

QUESTION FOR MY FRIENDS FROM GHANA
What are the dominant political narratives (mythologies) in various parts of Africa? I know there are various movements. But the list is enormous and I can’t separate the meaningful from the marginal.
Pan-Africanism I know about. What else is significant? thanks.
(why? I want to see if I can include them in my chapter on ideologies)

If the Russian Soviets and Jewish Bolsheviks hadn’t been brutal murderers experimenting on mankind you could at least appreciate their attempt at modernization of such a backward place.
But their education system, rapid industrialization, was not achieved through fiat credit as the Chinese have just done. But through attempting to circumvent capitalism. So Russia modernized but spent the incentives they could have built and list the opportunity.
Mao did even worse. As did the other communists and socialists.
But the Chinese finally understood: they had enough people left in poverty that they could create consumer capitalism quickly.
The Russians just have to evolve rule of law.
What they could have done was create rule of law then use fiat money and the incentives would have trained the people.
But they spent the opportunity to use those incentives to train the people.

THE GREAT WESTERN LIE: THAT PEOPLE POSSESS RIGHTS AND NOBLE VIRTUES, RATHER THAN THEY ACQUIRE RIGHTS BY DEMONSTRATING NOBLE VIRTUES
The western aristocratic political model stopped improving the moment we started lying – that people possess rights and noble intent rather than that they can acquire rights by demonstrating virtues.
For women the problem is more significant: meritocracy conflicts with their reproductive interests. Half of their children are in the lower half.
They cannot earn the franchise by fighting and it is against the tribe’s interests if they do other than reproduce. Our only choice is to pay the best women to reproduce and punish the worst if they do. ( this idea has legs ).
The Chinese also converted from empirical management to moral management and stagnated. The Muslims and Mongols never developed an empirical order.
The truth is enough if we demand it by force.

ITS NOT JUST STOICISM, ITS THE ENTIRE WESTERN CORPUS.
During the age of transformation the westerners were running individual farms, by extended families, and ruled by a professional warrior aristocracy – today’s “business owners”.
In this age of transformation, Westerners discovered:
– objective truth and judgment, testimony, jury, senate
– debate, reason, and the precursor to science: empiricism
– common law, contractualism, a prohibition on negatives.
– the heroic myths and legends as positive mythos.
– celebrations, plays, and rituals as civic religion.
In other words they never made the conflationary errors of competing civilizations that combined rule and religion, religion and law, positive claims with negative prohibitions. Where the Babylonians and Egyptians created political monopolies, and where the jews created one book, and the Hindus created one narrative, the Chinese a rational monopoly state as an extended family, and the west “a calculator of innovation”.
Conflation has led other civilizations to stagnation, and the attempt for example, of the cosmopolitans (and cultural marxists) to reconflate utopian religion and pseudoscience into moral rather than empirical law, has cost us a century and almost cost us our civilization.
SO WHY DOES THAT MATTER?
The same conflationary error is true for the methods of conflating mindfulness (individual), mysticism(pseudoscience), and mythology(explanation).
in the west we did NOT conflate:
personal mental discipline (emmpirical stoicism)
the common law (empirical ethics)
philosophy (rational virtues)
mythology (mythical ideals)
natural civic religion( ritual, feast, celebration)
In other words: nothing was a lie.
SO LET’S COMPARE THIS STACK TO THE OTHERS
Japanese ritual
Japanese ancestor worship
‘family’ law (confucius failed to solve the problem of politics)
Chinese Confucianism (upper), Lao Tzu (lower), Buddhism (escapism)
Natural Civic Celebrations
These are ALMOST as ‘true’ except for Buddhism and the fact that the Chinese could not solve the problem of politics (the Han have the same problem as we ‘Aryans’ but they admit it, we don’t). So they were stuck with monopoly. They view their period of consolidation as an achievement without understanding that the warring states, just as each ‘long war’ in europe created a revolution in knowledge and understanding.
NOW COMPARE TO THE MIDDLE EASTERNERS
Egyptian, Babylonian, Judaism, Christianity, … you get the idea.
It is a monopolistic, authoritarian, conflationary, set of such amazing lies and deceits that it is unbelievable that humans fall for it OTHER than that we are so susceptible to environmental overloading of our reason. We are more dependent upon imitation and compatibility with others than we are on reason and evidence. WE are still mimics.
NOW COMPARE TO MODERNITY
Boazian, Marxist, Freudian, FrankfurtSchool pseudoscience.
Postmodern deception.
How many various techniques for finding excuses for mindfulness?
How desperate our people for family and tribal information sharing?
We have television-families, we live alone in boxes – we have replaced interpersonal validation and reality-checks with consumer purchases and store-bought-identities, and virtue signal spirals.
Feminism, individualism,…. yet 40% of women are on anti-depressants, men are committing suicide in droves over 50, we have a tragic birth rate, and our civilization is being stolen from underneath us.
What is the difference between selling the Chinese boatloads of heroin, and the import of discount consumer goods that allow us naturally produced endorphine fallacies? There isn’t any.
I could go on at length, but the point is stoicism is to personal philosophy and personal religion what science is to epistemology, what the common law is to social order, what history is to literature, what philosophy is to religion.
Stoicism was as important an invention as science.
And those bastards killed it and forced Christianity upon us on purpose – to enslave the ignorant and the women, and the slaves, to rally against the aristocracy, and to surrender themselves to the bureaucracy.
There is not enough room in hell for those people, and there is no way to compensate humanity for the damage taht they have done.
IF hell needs an expansion we certainly can put the socialists, postmodernists, feminists, and pseudoscientists down there enough to force overcrowding. 😉

Of all the enlightenment cultures, only the Germans didn’t lie.
They just can’t figure out the truth.

Modern Secular Monasteries and Regiments?
The postwar boom, great wars, industrial revolution, and colonial expansion, all led to a decrease in the need for civic society dormitories, and promised all of us families and homes.
The vast number of women who were part or full time prostitutes, their betters who were nuns, the rest who were home servants.
The vast number of part time soldiers and criminals, their betters as who were in the monasteries, and the balance who were disposable labor.
Why do we force people into mandatory self support when there are collective methods at their disposal?
Why don’t we have civic housing for each gender, and reserve the burden of household care to those who produce and support families?
Men are not expensive to house and feed. Its the benefits we pay soldiers that are expensive.
I would live in a dorm of single rooms with men if the regulations were as strict as the university. I would live with brothers in arms if the regulations were as strict as the military.
Why do we force middle class upon all of us?

I don’t use aristocracy and nobility as synonyms.
Noble families are members of the natural aristocracy. Nobility is a designation for families who have demonstrated excellence in contribution to the commons.
You cannot affect nobility.
One can however join the natural aristocracy meaning meritocratic ruling class by military achievement and affectation of character.
And at least in practice as long as you can manage to be an officer and a gentleman then you can do so as long as your genetic class permits.
Because as a soldier in the service if aristocracy you are due equal deference and respect.
This is one of western mans perks for service. The ability to exercise violence in the construction of private and commons in exchange for respect and status regardless of his parenthood.
A man who pays his way through service may demand respect due aristocracy even if affectation, under pain of violence – he need not ask for it.
I have a tepid reaction to commercial pretense of nobility unless it is matched by at least administrative service. But we should never discount the value of nobility to all of us whether martial, intellectual, or commercial. It is extremely difficult to manage good breeding and to cast off your failure over the generations.
It is through this combination of martial, judicial, civic, and familial virtue that we keep lesser peoples at bay, domesticate them, and raise our generations to transcendence.
