  • Aristocratic Egalitarianism

    [T]o say that European Aristocracy is Egalitarian is somewhat of a tautology.  An aristocracy requires numbers, and has an interest in creating large numbers in a hierarchy of aristocratic peers.  So aristocracy is egalitarian – open to meritocratic entry.

  • THE CHURCH WAS AN AMPLIFIER NOT A CREATOR The Church federalized the Aristocracy

    THE CHURCH WAS AN AMPLIFIER NOT A CREATOR

    The Church federalized the Aristocracy into The Christian Monarchies. And the church amplified our hunter-gatherer lack of aggression. But that is very different from saying that the church created western civilization. The church was an amplifier, not a creator. The church did good, but it has done both damage and good. And the enlightenment failed to overcome the damage. Our generation’s objective is to overcome the failure of the enlightenment, and overcome the damage of the church, and overcome the damage of the state that cast itself as a replacement for the church.

  • Mankind, Civilization, Culture, Society, Family, Individual

    [B]een trying to work on constructing Propertarian definitions for these terms. Ran across this gem, that is very, very close. —“Civilization is fundamentally a cultural infrastructure of information and knowledge that serves survival and continuity. What distinguishes a civilization from a culture is that this infrastructure, having reached a critical level of complexity, becomes autonomous from constituent cities, nations, and empires. In ordinary cultures, the passing of information and knowledge may depend upon imitation or oral communication; in civilizations, this cultural memory, etched into clay or drawn into papyrus, takes on a life of its own”— (Andrew Bosworth, “The Genetics of Civilization: An Empirical Classification of Civilizations Based on Writing Systems, Comparative Civilizations Review, 2003, 49:9).

  • Information Systems for the Persistence of Man

    SYSTEMS G-GENES, 0-PROPERTY, 1-INTUITION, 2-REASON, 3-COOPERATION(REPRODUCTIVE DIVISION OF PERCEPTION, COGNITION, KNOWLEDGE, LABOR)

    (profound) (worth repeating)

    [O]ur logical capacity extends to the limits defined by the flight of an arrow. For more complex multi-dimensional relations we resort to the cartesian representations. And if the problem is more complicated than that, then our reason, and ability to envision causal relations, is terribly frail.

    And if I am correct (and it appears at present that I am), then “System 0″ is little more than a producer of reward and punishment endorphins in response to increases or decreases in an individual’s inventory of “property”. Property that is necessary for his life, cooperation and reproduction.

    Emotions are reactions to changes in state. Changes in state are determined by changes in property. Humans act to acquire that which improves their condition. Humans resent and punish, at great personal expense, appropriations of that which they have acted to acquire.

    Reason (Stanovich’s System “2”) rides on the elephant of intuition (Stanovich’s System “1”), whose objects of consideration ( Doolittle’s System “0”) are what we call ‘property’. Our brains are difference engines. And we calculate differences in property: that which we have acted to obtain.

    Fukuyama was wrong.

    The end of history is the truthful civilization.

    And we are going to birth it.

    And I hope that birth is painful.

    You can get more out of Ricardo Duchesne’s Uniqueness of Western civ.

    But I think truth is the answer.

    So I am sort of working myself into this narrative. And that’s both informative and bad (becuase it’s tainted).
