  • I Am Trying To Repair The Enlightenment

    [C]OMPARISONS:
    1) Ashkenazi Separatist Pseudoscientific (belief) Libertinism
    vs European Universalist Empirical (Legal) Libertarianism.

    2) Ashkenazi Neo Conservatism (Make the world safe for separatists)
    vs Anglo Burkeian Conservatism ( Parent the world into prosperity).

    3) Ashkenazi (Pseudo-scientific/Pseudo-moral) Communism
    vs Anglo-German (pseudo-scientific/Pseudo-moral) Secular Humanism.

    METHODS:
    1) Anglo American (critical) Empirical (Law).
    2) German (justificationary) Rationalism (Philosophy).
    3) French (subjectivist) Moralism (literature).
    3) Ashkenazi (overloading) pseudo-moralism, pseudo-scientism, pseudo-rationalism (Pseudoscience)

    All cultures tried to universalize their sectarian ideologies as rational and scientific platforms. Yet these different group evolutionary strategies all failed the test of universalism. The anglos were right in method (science) and wrong in vision of man (aristocracy of everyone). The germans were wrong in method (kantian rationalism) and right in vision of man (paternal hierarchy).

    The Ashkenazis were at best hermeneutic, and at worst deceitful (separatism without paying costs of commons) and pragmatic by creating a new ‘religion’ – a new means of suggestion by loading,framing and overloading; thereby taking advantage of western high trust and pathological altruism.

    Through this rather broader lens, we see that all the enlightenments failed. (I don’t address the french because no one takes them seriously). We see that the last century was plagued by lies, pseudoscience, pseudo-rationalism, and justification, and as Hayek warned us, was a century of mysticism (which was the best word he could come up with at the time.)

    That is why I am aggressively anti-ancap: because I see it as another great lie that has been propagandized upon my people, and has misdirected their energies and aspirations away from the only possible source of liberty: the prohibition on parasitism, the common law, universal standing, every man a sheriff, and universal militia. There is no state and no ruler if we rule by law.

    So where the person looking at leaves sees minor errors in the ancap-libertines, and where the person looking at trees sees a set of competing ideologies, I look at the forest and see group evolutionary strategies covering a spectrum from anglo empirical and legal ‘truth’, to german justification (kant and the german idealists), to french pretense of reason(Rousseau), to ashkenazi systemic deception: Freud, Boaz, Marx, Cantor, Mises, Frankfurt-School, Rothbard. The second great deception (authoritarian pseudoscience) duplicating what was done to rome by abraham, jesus, peter and paul: the first great deception: authoritarian monotheism.

    That explains why I am hostile to well intentioned fools.

    Because they’re part of the problem: useful idiots of the libertine rather than communist and neo-conservative types.

    British Universalism: Locke, Hume, Smith, then Burke

    Conquered the world with Ships, Cannon, Steel, Law, Accounting and Trade.

    Utopianism led to wealth.

    Conquered Germany and in doing so Europe.

    Left the american “children” holding the bag.

    Americans constrained communism by selling utopianism.

    That utopianism was suicide.

    The anglos have been fools.

    Under the excuse of not offending customers.

    Resulted in their suicide: conquest by their customers.

  • Privatization is Not an Intrinsic Good

    [W]ell, the Nobility in western Europe privatized everything and in doing so virtually enslaved Western Europeans. They were civilized by the church, each other and competition for commerce, and eventually displaced, or as in the case of France – murdered wholesale. The rest of Europe surrendered rather than face the same fate. The “Nobles” in eastern Europe privatized everything and in doing so enslaved the eastern europeans. They and their ‘administrators’ were either executed or run out of Europe. The Russian Boyars and Oligarchs privatized everything, and enslaved Russians. They were either massacred (frequently) or imprisoned for it. Now they have been exterminated. Although Putin’s privatization of the commons seems to be holding up relatively well – but it will likely end in similar fashion. How many Arab tribes have privatized everything, yet have been recently tortured and dismembered? PRIVATIZATION Privatization is not an intrinsic good. Privatization is only valuable if it both decreases costs and improves services through competition. Privatization is not so much a good, as much as a monopoly bureaucracy is a bad. That does not mean that common assets managed by competing contractors, in the care of a monarchy is not better than both. (it is). RULE OF LAW Privatization is a distraction from the only source of liberty: rule of law, universal standing, under the common law, under the total prohibition on the imposition of costs against the demonstrated property of any other. This scope of law eliminates all possibility of extra-legal retaliation, and eliminates all demand for the state for the discretionary choice of fault, and all demand for the state as a prohibitor of retaliation for those impositions that humans universally retaliate against. COMMONS Commons are the most effective means of competing against other groups. The west progressed faster in both the ancient and modern periods when they produced the most competitive commons. Property rights and rule of law, the jury process, truth telling and honesty are all normative commons that are exceptionally expensive to construct. Commons prevent rent seeking by private agents. That’s what define’s a private (corporate) or public (civic) commons: something you can’t force costs upon, yet from which all of us gain “fructus” (fruits. Benefits) THE ‘PRESTIGE’: VERBAL SLIGHT OF HAND OF MORAL ‘MAGICIANS’ Conversely, privatization is just another excuse to recreate the oligarchical parasitism of Russia and eastern Europe. We have had enough deceit for one century. The Cosmopolitans were a failure in all their forms: Socialists, Rothbardians, Freshwater economists, and Neocons. The only liberty that is existentially possible is that which was practiced between european aristocracy: rule of law, universal standing, and property-en-toto. While the effort to create an aristocracy of everyone failed, that does not mean that we cannot create an aristocratic rule of law that everyone must adhere to. And why not? The only reason to practice the ethics of libertines (Block and Rothbard) are to license parasitism, and prohibit retaliation. There is no noble ambition here. It is to restore the parasitism of eastern Europe. So, leave the Russians and The Eastern Europeans to their own history. It continues to be a tragedy they struggle to exit from. Liberty is the product of the aristocratic militia: the organized application of violence to institute rule of law such that all parasitism is prohibited, thereby forcing all humans into the market for the productive, fully informed, warrantied exchange of goods and services free of external imposition of costs. Rule of law: Universal constraint, universal standing, strict construction, total prohibition on parasitism, expressed as rights to property en toto, and ‘every man a sheriff’ to enforce it.

    PRIVATIZATION? IT’S NOT AN INTRINSIC GOOD.

    Well, the Nobility in western Europe privatized everything and in doing so virtually enslaved Western Europeans.

The rest of Europe surrendered rather than face the same fate.

    Although Putin’s privatization of the commons seems to be holding up relatively well – but it will likely end in similar fashion.

    How many Arab tribes have privatized everything, yet have been recently tortured and dismembered?

    PRIVATIZATION

    Privatization is not an intrinsic good. Privatization is only valuable if it both decreases costs and improves services through competition. Privatization is not so much a good, as much as a monopoly bureaucracy is a bad. That does not mean that common assets managed by competing contractors, in the care of a monarchy is not better than both. (it is).

    RULE OF LAW

    Privatization is a distraction from the only source of liberty: rule of law, universal standing, under the common law, under the total prohibition on the imposition of costs against the demonstrated property of any other. This scope of law eliminates all possibility of extra-legal retaliation, and eliminates all demand for the state for the discretionary choice of fault, and all demand for the state as a prohibitor of retaliation for those impositions that humans universally retaliate against.

    COMMONS

    Commons are the most effective means of competing against other groups. The west progressed faster in both the ancient and modern periods when they produced the most competitive commons. Property rights and rule of law, the jury process, truth telling and honesty are all normative commons that are exceptionally expensive to construct. Commons prevent rent seeking by private agents. That’s what define’s a private (corporate) or public (civic) commons: something you can’t force costs upon, yet from which all of us gain “fructus” (fruits. Benefits)

    THE ‘PRESTIGE’: VERBAL SLIGHT OF HAND OF MORAL ‘MAGICIANS’

    Conversely, privatization is just another excuse to recreate the oligarchical parasitism of Russia and eastern Europe.

    We have had enough deceit for one century. The Cosmopolitans were a failure in all their forms: Socialists, Rothbardians, Freshwater economists, and Neocons. The only liberty that is existentially possible is that which was practiced between european aristocracy: rule of law, universal standing, and property-en-toto. While the effort to create an aristocracy of everyone failed, that does not mean that we cannot create an aristocratic rule of law that everyone must adhere to.

    And why not? The only reason to practice the ethics of libertines (Block and Rothbard) are to license parasitism, and prohibit retaliation. There is no noble ambition here. It is to restore the parasitism of eastern Europe. So, leave the Russians and The Eastern Europeans to their own history. It continues to be a tragedy they struggle to exit from.

  • THE LITERARY AND ARTISTIC DEAD ZONE: NO FUTURES. BECAUSE WE CAN ENVISION NO UNDI

    THE LITERARY AND ARTISTIC DEAD ZONE: NO FUTURES. BECAUSE WE CAN ENVISION NO UNDISCOVERED VALLEYS

    Propertarianism suggests to me that the sense of wonder – the undiscovered valley – is a sensation we feel when presented with opportunities for consumption and acquisition.

    But we are not facing that experience today. We face instead, being overrun by the hordes. And the hordes merely discovering a route into our valley of resources.

    The age of sail, the age of colonization, the age of continental expansion, the age of industrial consumption, the age of existing from the underclass of labor and joining the consumer classes, the age of space, the age of technology, the age of medicine.

    All our futures – all that we can imagine – are dystopian because none of them are free of competition from humans.

    The undiscovered valleys are full of predators: us.

    There is no undiscovered country.

    There is only hordes of us in the mirror looking back at us.

  • LITERARY GENERATIONS – THE TECHNO MYTHOS I wasn’t really aware of how much I was

    LITERARY GENERATIONS – THE TECHNO MYTHOS

    I wasn’t really aware of how much I was affect ed by Heinlein, Asimov, Clarke, Elison, Bova, and Herbert during the 60’s and early 70’s. I was very much aware of how I was affected by Girard and the Heavy Metal movement, Alien and Blade Runner in the late 70’s and turn of the 80’s (star wars re-americanized and made ‘cute’ sf and that wasn’t my gig). Then even more aware of the influence of Gibson, Sterling, and Stephenson in the 80’s and 90’s – a grungier vision of the future. I haven’t been affected by any author much since then. In fact, it’s hard to read much sci fi, if not all fiction now. The zeitgeist at present is one of conquest by immigrants and ‘the fall’ represented by the pervasiveness of the zombie genre. So we are all buried in a decay narrative now. Optimism seems impossible, so we won’t buy it in our literature. At least the Nuclear Holocaust era gave us post-apocalyptic hope for renewal. This one is a hopeless mythos.
