  • Only Landed People Create Monuments and Art

    UNDERSTANDING CALIFORNIAN STATISM


    [C]alifornia. A very desirable geography. The best other than France. In both cases the geography is a natural resource exploitable by the state.


    As I said to Ron Manners: natural resources make you a slave because States must defend them. Diasporic peoples avoid these high costs at the expense of permanent insecurity. The golden mean (happy median) is Liberty – prevention of the state while also holding land.

    Only landed people create monuments and art.   And Europe is a vast, open air museum. 

  • Exorcising Guilt Over Cultural Criticism


    [Y]ou know I feel guilty criticizing culture after culture – other than the germans – even though I am more critical of my own people’s universalist stupidity than I am of anyone else’s behavior. The only thing that continues to strike me and drive my bias is the economic technical and artistic results that a bunch of cattle-raiders produced by accident of telling the truth out of martial need, and then greedily protecting their well earned sovereignty by a division of responsibility and fear of authority instead of falling into the ‘civilization trap’ of ‘efficient organization’ that is anything but efficient.


    Germans mostly get it right, but invented a new way to lie. Anglos really did get it wrong, but did it without lying. I won’t mention the french and the jews for obvious reasons. The Chinese do what works for them, although breaking up china would be the best thing that ever happened to the world – Mao was wrong. And breaking up India is the only way to fix corruption.
    The only thing scale does is allow you to conduct war.


    Reversing the Warfare State by converting to small countries with nuclear weapons solves a lot of problems.

  • North Sea Truth vs Levantine Critique

    (profound)(group evolutionary strategies)(macro-sociology) [O]nce you grasp that Cosmopolitan (Marxist-Socialist, Libertine, Neoconservative) Critique is an attempt at exclusionary authoritarianism – a modern restatement of the technique applied in Jewish argument and law – it becomes fairly obvious why the combination of (a) desire for obscurant arguments to be true, (b) emotional and intellectual investment in the truth of these obscurant arguments, and (c) hostility to refutation, are so pervasive: 1) psychological utility obtained from intuitional moral ‘righteousness’, 2)group unity in that moral conviction, and 3) ostracization of non-believers on the other, are precisely what ‘separatists’ require of a religion. However, this modern set of religions is pseudo-scientific and pseudo-rational rather than legal, mystical and monotheistic in verbal construction. But the verbal construction is merely a technological advancement over monotheistic mythology, and jewish dual-ethics-law. Northern europeans used truth, property and fighting as the binding commitment to one another, not belief. We used opportunity to join success in a hostile landscape, and they used threat of ostracization in among hostile tribes. We are all the product of our ancient geographies. The strategies of the weak and small in number, versus the strong and small in number. Both Jewish and Germanic systems of thought evolved for use by small populations. You will take notice which strategy leads to the construction of vast civilizations, technology, art, science and medicine, and what the other led to – near extermination.

  • Why Do White People Have Cargo?

    [A] lot of people hate white people. I have been discriminated against by Jews, Asians and Blacks in particular. But I have a lot of options within my tribe. So it’s an outlier condition. But it begs the question: Why don’t others have so many options within their tribes? Why isn’t opportunity in white organizations an outlier?

    Or as Yali ((Guns Germs and Steel)) asked: why do white people have cargo?


    Note: The answer is “Trust”.

  • HOW TO PRESENT MISES AND RAND IN THE 20th CENTURY? I would present it (as I do)

    HOW TO PRESENT MISES AND RAND IN THE 20th CENTURY?

    I would present it (as I do) as a last ditch desperate attempt to reach the enlightenment utopia embodied in both cosmopolitan middle class universalism, and anglo puritanical middle class universalism.

    But that both movements were failures and had to be, because universalism and equality are merely utilitarian merchant philosophies of self interest made possible by temporary economic advantage.

    And that the dream of a market of everyone or the dream of an aristocracy of everybody, are ideological fancies that are politically untenable, largely undesirable, and competitively unsuccessful.

    As such the virtue of the program is limited to the insights into cooperation made possible by information. And that our institutional problem across the past four millennia remains the constant need to improve means of information use and distribution as the scale and diversity of the division of labor expands analogistically to fractal evolution into all parts of human existence.
