    Everyone keeps promising us a new version of the Jetsons, or Star Trek. But we’ve seen the future. It’s Blade Runner in Sao Paulo, Cairo and Delhi.

    DOOLITTLE ON NIETZSCHE’s HERD

    (from reddit)

    QUESTION

    —I’ve read a little of Doolittle(but not much), but I’m very perplexed how it isn’t the herd described according to Nietzsche? Or is this a way of directing the herd to be productive?—

    ANSWER

    (Nietzsche is justifiably rebelling against norms, particularly the church, and various other traditional bits that inhibit innovation and suppress achieving our ultimate potential. He is not himself attempting to define the basis for law sufficiently that resolution of disputes is possible regardless of norm. He offers a criticism and an aspiration. I am though. I offer a solution in the form of institutions.

    This is a very complex topic. Nietzsche writes as a german continental. While for some people this kind of loaded and framed argument helps with understanding via empathic reaction, and it’s somewhat poetic, it is very hard to turn it into scientific and therefore contemporary language. Conversely, I’m writing largely in operational language meaning anglo scientific language, and it’s very tedious and doesn’t have any emotional breadcrumbs, precisely so that I don’t load and frame it the way he does. And I don’t because that loading and framing is why the germans and the cosmopolitans failed to solve the problem of social science, and conversely, that kind of loading and framing is how the neocons, socialists, rothbard and mises, and the postmodernists that followed them created the worlds second great deceit after monotheism: pseudo-rational and pseudo-scientific loading, framing and overloading as a means of using suggestion to appeal to our pathological altruism. The lie worked for Abraham and Zoroaster, it worked for plato, Peter and Paul, it worked for Kant, Freud, Marx, Boaz, Cantor, Mises, and Rothbard, Rorty.. So how do I prevent another era of even more sophisticated lies with which to attack the vulnerability of the west: our high trust and pathological altruism? I do it by defining the method by which we apply science to moral questions. Hence testimonialism and Propertarianism. Science does not tell us what is true, it tells us only what survives tests of falsehood. Propertarianism and testimonialism do not tell us what is true, they tell us only what survives tests of moral falsehood.

    —“Latvians aren’t Slavs; they’re Balts just like Lithuanians. They’re probably in this dataset because Balts are close neighbors and relatives of Slavs. Note that these six Latvians are overall the most northerly group in this analysis, which suggests that they have the highest ratio of European Hunter-Gatherer ancestry. Nevertheless, they’re obviously still very similar to Lithuanians and their Uralic neighbors to the north, the Estonians.”—

    Well, I think we know this. Right? Like most of the identity nonsense we are trying to correct with science, many of our current ‘myths’ are the product of justifying state power in a region rather than furthering the interests of the tribes and peoples in question.

    The problem of tribalism doens’t affect just the rest of the world. We just had stronger states to destroy our tribes more effectively than they did.

    WHAT CAUSED THE KURGAN SHIFT TO THE EAST?

    —“the post-Kurgan Europeans are shifted east, towards the Bronze Age steppe groups (most of which are in fact classified as Kurgan cultures), relative to the pre-Kurgan Europeans. Coincidence? Certainly not. Interestingly, the West Asians show a similar shift to the east, although it’s not yet clear who caused it and when.”—Eurogenes

  • Not So Fast. They Buy Our Stuff,  But Remain Unpacified.

    [U]nfortunately, no other culture, even the catholic states, approaches protestant high trust (and therefore economic velocity). We have genetically pacified northern Europe aggressively for a millennium, practiced delayed reproduction an eugenic mating for just as long, and pacified through eugenic manorialism less so for millennia before that. http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2015/08/america_takes_o.html Cultures can adopt technology, but it has yet to be seen if anyone can adopt high trust. Truth telling, and even the very concept of it, much less contractual adherence, diminish very, very rapidly, and corruption increases very rapidly outside of the Hanjal line. I don’t see much reason for optimism. We have a very poor record of spreading truth telling and trust, even if we have a great record of spreading money, accounting, banking, interest, and consumer capitalism. Other cultures wear our clothes, eat our food, listen to our music, watch their movies, and employ our technology. But they remain familial, inbred, tribal, corrupt, and unpacified. The western miracle was caused by our accidental discovery of truth. From that discovery all of consequence was derived. Without that, little of consequence will be constructed. Our frequent self congratulation is merely signaling and hubris. We should leave the brits to specialize in it. They’re better at it. wink emoticon

  • New Video: Circumpolar Civilization

    [E]xplaining why we have failed to integrate Russians into western Civilization despite their membership in Christendom and their obvious similarities to Americans: trust. This is a rather deep video that demonstrates the distribution of trust from Chinese “delay and deceive” constant deception, to Russian/Muslim “honor in lying”, to German Truth and Duty, to British moral optimism, to American Utopianism and how it affects each country. Then we discuss how we can unite these different ‘time preferences’ and ‘risk profiles’ into a vast intra-civilizational distribution of perception, cognition, knowledge and labor using Rule of law, if only we can end American ideological Utopianism and Russian lying and legal corruption.
