    THE SECRETS OF THE WEST!!! WHY WE WERE FASTER THAN THE REST.

    THE SECRETS OF THE WEST

    1) Heroism-Excellence, Sovereignty-Property-VoluntaryExchange.

    2) Truth, Reason, Rationalism, Science.

    3) Testimony, Jury, Common Law, Contract,

    4) Money, Saving, Interest, Accounting

    5) Market for Production and Consumption (investment in personal consumables), Market for Commons (Investment in group non-consumables).

    THE RESULT IS A SUPERCOMPUTER

    ***Voluntary cooperation as a means of distributed calculation of correspondence with reality in real time.***

    ***A human computing network whose test of equality is productive, fully informed, warrantied, voluntary transfer, free of externalities to the contrary, and whose single rule of computability is non-parasitism: objective morality.***

    (Note that It’s HEROISM not INDIVIDUALISM. (dammit!) “individualism is a free riding scam attempting to equate excellence with the ordinary. it’s a form of communism. You must choose to pay the cost of heroism, we grant you permission for individualism.)

    THE CONSEQUENCES

    From this we obtain the post-cooperative technologies of

    Ratio-empiricism or “science” – (epistemology)

    engineering, technology – (production)

    the market for goods and services (consumption)

    the market for commons (investment)

    Medicine, (maintenance)

    THE WEST WAS *FASTER* THAN THE REST

    This is the west and why we evolved faster than the rest: everything we do is a truth test. No other culture succeeded because they never could develop trust sufficiently to construct perpetual demand for truth.

    ARE THE RUSSIANS RIGHT? ARE THE CHINESE RIGHT? ARE WE WRONG? (YES) …. ISLAM IS THE CAUSE OF THE DESCENT OF MAN.

    I love Russian people. I love them perhaps most of all. In some ways they are the only non-ideological europeans remaining. The only people who do not let idealism interfere with their perception of reality.

    I consistently criticize the government. And I criticize the government almost entirely for using propaganda and deception. The rest I attribute to paranoia of a low trust society accumulating and concentrating in political office.

    My argument is quite simple: If you’re right, just tell the truth about it. The truth is enough.

    China Subjugates the muslims to the west – and are wise to.

    Russia Subjugates the muslims to the south – and are wise to.

    Africa resists the muslims to the north – and are wise to.

    Europa attempts to ‘civilize’ them through commercial exchange and incorporation.

    There is only one fool here: The West.

    And one set of advocates: the cosmopolitans, feminists, and postmodernists.

    The Muslim groups have an IQ below the threshold of employability.

    They cannot be integrated.

    They cannot be converted.

    Their reproduction causes genetic damage.

    And Muslims are easily antagonized because islam requires the grant of respect (reinforcement) of the ignorant and dim. Ours requires that you earn it, or know your place as an inferior who is tolerated. THis provides an incentive to imiate one’s betters if one cannot comprehend them. And to learn if it is possible. Our civilizations attempt to coral the underclasses so that they cannot damage us. And we sought to eliminate them by hard and soft eugenics for almost all of our history – until women got the vote.

    The muslims do not do this. They spread through reproduction and demand for respect for the dim and ignorant, and the reinforcement of the dim and ignorant if they can follow the scripture of the dim and ignorant.

    We spent a thousand years of darkness trying to overcome the first great lie – supernatural monotheism.

    We have spent the last 150 trying to overcome the second great lie (the jewish pseudosciences).

    We are importing a third great lie – islam.

    We cannot cure islam with science.

    We could cure pseudoscience and christianity with science because both were predicated on reason and intelligent carriers in the upper classes.

    But islam does not advance because of intelligence and reason, but by aggression, ignorance, genetic inferiority, and rapid reproduction.

    There is no forward direction to evolution. Our brains are not getting bigger.

    We distributed calculation through voluntary cooperation as a means of computation. A vast division of perception, cognition, knowledge, advocacy and negotiation.

    But there is no reason that a human that is more aggressive, less intelligent, with faster reproduction will not defeat intelligence.

    As Stephen J Gould argued – intelligence is a costly and not necessarily useful advantage. For the simple reason that it is far more expensive that just reproducing faster and consuming fewer resources.

    We may have already reached peak human, and islam is the end of the ascent man.

    Perhaps the Russians are right: you fight mysticism with reason, reason with rationalism, rationalism and pseudoscience with science.

    But if you must defeat the dim, the ignorant, who employ nothing but reproduction and aggression, then you must fight them on their terms: with deception and violence. In other words: war.

    Islam is an invasive species.

    Violence is the only cure.

    Time to cure the world of this disease.

    Why are we fighing for status between the west, the russians, and the chinese, when our common interest is to resist the people of the steppe and desert?

    —“Director of the Russian Institute for Strategic Research Leonid Reshetnikov believes there is an attempt to eliminate Orthodoxy in Ukraine.”Ukrainism from the very start was an anti-Orthodox concept: it was directed not only against Russians, against Moskals (Moscovites – IF), it was directed against Orthodoxy.”—

    Not quite true.

    Ukrainian people will not forgive Russians for their present or past crimes against them.

    Nor will Russians apologize for their crimes against the people of eastern Europe and lessen Ukrainian anger over their impoverishment, deception, starvation, and murder. It is not in the Russian character to apologize for Russian crimes against humanity.

    Ukrainian people understand that the orthodox church has intentionally evolved into a propaganda and intelligence service for Moscow.

    Ukrainian people are increasingly skeptical of their church – partly because many orthodox priests act like little more than beggars in robes – and partly because they know that the priests can be bought by Moscow.

    My adopted ‘family’ here was raised Orthodox and goes to the catholic church. For the simple reason that the mass is full of love and personal encouragement rather than authority and promise.

    I am a christian and a catholic, a cultural american and an ethnic Englishman.

    Unlike some (lesser) peoples, I am not conflicted whatsoever by the separation between my faith and science. I don’t need to apply reason to my faith, i need to intuit it. And I am not sure that I can do more than that. (and I can understand a lot of things). I need to understand my universe, so that can act in it. I cannot intuit it. So I must not rely upon my intuition. Instead I must rely upon my reason.

    For simple minds this may be a contradiction.

    But Faith is faith. Science is Science. If they contradict, then my understanding of my faith is incorrect.

    I have no problem banning people who cannot do the same.

    HOW WILL THE CURRENT ERA BE REMEMBERED?

    I am almost positive that the current era will be interpreted as a century long failed experiment, and that cognitive scientists and legal philosophers and anthropologists will obtain the credit for repairing it.

    Not that Austrians are wrong, but that their program was incomplete, cut off by the wars, and the need for reconstruction.

    And that Mises fundamental insight was misunderstood – not only by others but himself: moral criticism.

    Hayek was likely right in that the twentieth century will be considered an era of mysticism in the future. Mysticism meaning ‘pseudoscience’ today, for having relied upon aggregates alone rather than testing them with actions.

    But explaining why this is true is difficult.

    What we have been exploring is not so much economics but the addition of credit to the inventory of weapons of influence that can be used to govern a people.

    I am almost certain now that this is correct.

  • Disease Gradients Impede Cooperation

    (Via Francesco Principi)

    “The xenophobia expressed in environments with high pathogen severity creates barriers to intergroup cooperation. These barriers cause greater poverty in environments with increased pathogen severity, in addition to the direct effects of disease on the human capital that is essential to economic growth. Xenophobic groups in competition for resources are unwilling to resolve this competition through cooperative means, and they are more likely to resort to violent conflict.”

    This idea has legs.

    CHRISTIANITY, STOICISM, BUDDHISM

    Here is the thing about Christianity: the extension of kinship love to non-kin and the extirpation of hatred from the human heart. Our people have lower sensitivity to (disgust for) out-groups anyway. But between our genetic bias as cold weather folk, christianity, chivalry, and the prohibition on cousin marriage, the west has evolved rapidly a high trust civilization – even if it has become partly to its detriment.

    Yes our mediterranean, hanseatic and nordic trade routes were helpful as well, since commercial cultures without out-group competition tend to have less reason to be mistrustful.

    Yes, our lack of genetic diversity helped quite a bit.

    Yes, as we’ve learned recently (to my excitement) it appears that the lower incidence of disease in the cold climate means lower barriers to association and trade.

    But our primary talent – martial epistemology – or truthfulness – would not be as useful without this christian openness. This preference for ‘error on the side of trust’.

    What christianity achieves through extension of kinship love, buddhism achieves through introspection, stoicism achieved through planning, focus, action, and review. These are three different methods of training the unquiet mind to quietly interact with the world, without fear.

    Westerners practice many religions: The nurturer (buddhism), the craftsman(stoicism), the merchant and politician (christianity), the warrior (the military), the scientist (Aristotle), the aesthete (Pagan nature worship). (and unfortunately, over the past century, the pseudoscientific state worshipper)

    We have always been a poly-spiritual people. We have always been and will likely remain pagans. Religions are tools.

    I know the value of a quiet mind: the absence of anxiety and fear.

    I know the (lost) value of the worship of nature: care of the commons.

    I know the importance of membership in the tribe: ceremonies and rituals.

    I know the value of spirituality (invoking the feeling of the safety of the pack).

    I know the value of solace in fear, hopelessness, suffering and death.

    But I also know that love, truth, and trust create prosperity.

    Because fear, deceit, and mistrust generate poverty.

    How do we distinguish a religion from a political system? Law rather than wisdom (advice). How do we distinguish a religion from a military system? conquest. How do we distinguish a good religion from a bad anything else? The relative economic status of its adherents.
