    ENLIGHTENMENT PROGRESSION

    The British Enlightenment Era and Assertion : Trafalgar (Martial/commercial) Capitulation: (WW1, decolonialization)

    The American Enlightenment Era and Assertion : Revolution (Legal) Capitulation: Vietnam/NeoconFailure

    The French Enlightenment Era And Assertion : Revolution (Moral/Napoleon-force) Capitulation (napoleon’s defeat)(decolonialization)

    The German Enlightenment Era And Assertion : Unification (Rational using consent and reason) Capitulation: postwar germany.

    The Russian Enlightenment Era and Assertion : Revolution (Bolshevik using force and propaganda) Capitulation: return to authoritarian economy and polity.

    The Jewish Enlightenment Era and Assertion : 19th-20th Century (Pseudoscience using media) Capitulation: (just starting now, plus the anticipated failure of israel.)

    The Chinese Enlightenment Era and Assertion : (Maoist Revolution using force and propaganda) Capitulation: Abandonment of communism and socialism and restoration of mixed economy.

    The Hindu Enlightenment Era and Assertion : Unification, Independence, non expansion. Capitulation: (abandonment of socialism, and inability to solve domestic corruption and disorder,)

    The Latin Enlightenment Era and Assertion (Socialism) Capitulation: In progress.

    The Arab Enlightenment Era and Resistance : (Arab Spring) Capitulation? (perhaps not. perhaps their method of expansion by reproduction and raiding is superior to modernity.)

    THE DECLINE 1914-1992

    THE CONFLICT 2020 -> ?

    THE REFORMATION ???? -> ???

    Only solution I see is return to tribalism and abandonment of corporatism as science tells us the painful truth that none of our images of expansion is possible.

    —Many countries have a founding myth that inspires and sustains a national culture.—@CatoInstitute

    Strangely enough, while the USA started out with Rule of Law, and the Rights of Englishmen, and developed myths instead. 😉

    We did it backwards I guess. 🙂

    “Look weak when you are strong, and look strong when you are weak.”

    We forget that our first philosopher advanced truth, and their first philosopher advanced deception. China is an enormous hegemony and a culture of deception, non-confrontation, and delay until no fight is necessary. Westerners are a heroic minority and settle problems quickly, before they cannot handle them. We live in different worlds. Truth vs Deception. Confrontation vs Delay. Eliminate risks early vs wait for opportunity.

    The rise of the west was caused by greek thought – we forget that hellenic philosophy began as an evolution of their pagan religion from a political to personal system of thought. Rome’s empiricism came from greek thought. The ‘golden age’ of islam was caused by the translation of greek works in bagdad during the Abbasid empire, and ended as soon as that translation effort failed, and, weakened by internal divisiveness (despite their book) the Mongols defeated them.

    In addition, the religion spread to a majority. In order to prevent further ‘westernization’ and further factionalism, they denied science and demanded that the prophet’s work was complete. A fifth to a quarter of the population was of slaves, and the arabs bred and legitimized children with the slave women.

    Now compare this with roman, post roman, common and continental law, as a basis for society, while at the same time, possessing a political semi-pagan religion, and a division of powers.

    The west’s philosophy is the common law and natural law. It’s rational and evolves due to empirical observation of the resolution of disputes. Science is likewise empirical.

    christianity is just a mask – a set of stories over the top of arianism. It gave the warriors an excuse. Just as islam gave her warriors an excuse.

    In retrospect perhaps we were altogether wrong. And that the containment of Russia and Germany caused our end.

    —“Bad individuals attract each other to form Bad groups; then comes Bad communities and Bad nations.”—Kari Bannerman

    Pretty much yep. But I tend to think of it this way: people group by reproductive, productive, political, and signal strategies.

    ***And it is irrational to suggest that they do otherwise***

    Why? Because why should a human tolerate an undesirable condition of there are rational means of changing it that lack negative consequences for him?

    If one does not produce negative consequences for bads, then one will find them.

  • I understand the importance of sacredness in the commons, and why the sacred gro

    I understand the importance of sacredness in the commons, and why the sacred grove was so influential for us. The painful discipline of respecting the sacred in Churches every week, teaches you a behavior to demonstrate in the commons. Those who cannot control their impulses sufficiently in sacred places have many other nasty habits. Men who have nasty habits but can control their impulses in sacred places can still expect to be respected in matters of the sacred.

    i can respect teh sacredness of ritual in japan, I do not like the sacredness of buddhism’s internal life, I certainly do not like the sacredness of muslim obeyance, or its pervasive dominance of society. Certainly don’t like the jewish verbal separatism. I can criticize our churches for their attempt to preserve their absurd babylonian/jewish mysticism. But it is quite hard to argue with the rituals of stoicism, and the sacredness of the grove. The problem I see is that these are not political orders, so much as tribal, and that our people (the west) did not develop a political religion after paganism. And maybe that was the right answer.

    How do we create sacredness in nature, man, and the relationship between nature and man once again? How do we return to the transform of the earth in a garden? Into paradise?

  • RESTORING CIVILIZATION I am just barely old enough to remember victorian houses.

    RESTORING CIVILIZATION

    I am just barely old enough to remember victorian houses. Farms and farm animals. The quiet of rural life without the constant rumble of cars and trucks. When the sound of a bell miles away could be used to call volunteer firemen. When parks, cemeteries church yards, government buildings, and great houses were adorned with trees, shrubs, and flowers, and our sculptures were of men of achievement.

    This was taken from us on purpose. We were denied the intertemporal transmission of our history, traditions, myths and values in a multi-generational attempt to destroy aristocratic civilization.

    We husbanded each other, animals, plans, and the earth herself.

    We can do so again. With three simple actions.

    1) Change from a monetary to stockholder economy, wherein dividends are distributed annually, the minimum wage is eliminated, and wage earning is a matter of preference for consumption.

    2) Building materials must be capable of being carried by manual rather than machine effort once again.

    3) Now that we know what ‘bad’ art is, we can prohibit it. We cannot know good art, but we can know bad art.

    4) Train a nation of gardeners, arborists, landscapers, and to build a beautiful intertemporal world, not a cheap and transitory one.

    Beauty is a good in and of itself.
