    CULTURAL OBSERVATIONS :

    I love how men and women are portrayed in the media here versus in the states. Men are, frankly manly, mature, and women are elegant and beautiful, and the sexuality is not crass like hollywood videos, but beautiful.

    We celebrate the hedonism of peasantry as a vehicle for marketing with baser instincts. They celebrate their aspirations.

    It makes me realize how ‘cheap’ americanism is. Another packaged good for the proles.

    Aristocracy died with the first world war. It just took this long for the proles to tear down the castles and use the stones to build their hovels.

    Just like it always has been.

    ON MUHAMMED

    The media can glorify anyone with nonsense words. But Muhammed was a warrior who took a bunch of ignorant criminals experienced in constant warfare and used them to raid two civilizations exhausted from long term war, and guarantee that they never returned to prior successes.

    Would the world be a better place with the Sassanid Iranians and the Eastern Roman Byzantines unconquered? It’s pretty hard to argue otherwise. All of Islamic ‘thought’ was the product of conquered people from Greek, Byzantine and Sassanid empires, writing in Arabic to please their masters.

    Very much like the same tactic, used by the mongols to conquer and rape the Indians and the slavs. Their is nothing to respect here. You can respect the Chinese at least for using their capacity for war to create a vast and wealthy civilization. But you cannot respect teh mongols, nor the arabs, because in both cases, they used cavalry tactics to destroy capital and trade. Their destruction of Mediterranean trade deprived Europe of gold, and trade from the wealthier east, and brought about the dark ages.

    Sort of crediting the antique dealers for the design and production of their wares. Or the plague bearers for surviving. I mean, we aren’t all impressed with ourselves for wiping out the native americans.

    If the christianization of Europe was not the greatest human tragedy in history, then the conquest of the Byzantines and the islamification of the Balkans, and the destruction of the Iranian indo-european civilization by the arab, certainly was. The most recent human tragedy was wold communism. Thankfully the Anglosphere was not sufficiently exhausted to resist it. And the economic program was such a failure that it wasn’t sustainable.

    however, we must understand, that EUROPE **IS** exhausted, genetically and is dying under the weight of immigration without assimilation.

    Only one people has invented science, reason, and industrialization, and done it twice. Everyone else is an also ran, except the Chinese, who probably would have done the same, if not prisoners of ideographic language, under the control of philosophers who failed to solve the problem of politics and therefore, the problem of economics.

    Inbred, ignorant, mystical, low trust, anti-rational, anti-scientific, overbreeding, low intelligence, highly impulsive, incapable of intellectual or artistic innovation people are not impressive to me. I can make nearly the same criticism of rats and dogs.

    Is that insulting enough. lol ?

  • Divided land, divided church Protests in Ukraine have highlighted the division b

    http://www.dw.de/ukraine-divided-land-divided-church/a-17296538Ukraine: Divided land, divided church

    http://www.dw.de/ukraine-divided-land-divided-church/a-17296538

    Protests in Ukraine have highlighted the division between the country’s two main Orthodox churches. One has an independent streak and is protecting demonstrators from police. The other is subordinate to Moscow. …

    In the early hours of November 30, dramatic scenes played out before the monastery gates. A few hundred meters downhill, on the Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Independence Square), special police forces violently cleared a camp set up by opponents of the government. Hundreds of students were brutally beaten and chased into the surrounding streets. They found refuge at the monastery. Priests blocked the path of the baton-wielding police officers and did not let them through. …

    The monastery’s opposition role does not appear to be a coincidence. It was destroyed during the Soviet era and rebuilt in the 1990s. It belongs to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyiv Patriarchate. That church was founded after the independence of Ukraine and considers itself independent. But the Russian Orthodox Church has blocked it from gaining recognition as a part of the global Orthodoxy. The move was political, said Kyiv Patriarchate spokesman Archbishop Yevstratiy. “Russia wants to use the church to retain its influence over Ukraine.”

    Moscow’s schism

    Most believers in Ukraine belong to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate. It has its headquarters in the famous Kyiv Pechersk Lavra monastery on the steep right bank of the Dniper River. This church is subordinate to the Russian Patriarch. …

    The two-decade-long division in Ukrainian Orthodoxy is reflected in the attitude toward the current events. Where the Kyiv Patriarchate granted demonstrators protection from the police, its priests praying alongside hundreds of thousands of protesters on the Maidan, the Moscow-oriented Patriarchate is behaving differently.

    “Our priests may indeed go to the demonstrations, but only as citizens, and not as churchmen,” spokesman Grigori Kovalenko told DW. He denied, however, that this was due to instructions from Russia. “There is no influence on us from Moscow,” he said.

    “LET THE PEOPLE DIVIDE. LET OUR PEOPLE GO”

    (1. The error of the monotheism – equality and unity)

    (2. The error of the enlightenment: equality and universal aristocracy)

    (3. The truth of property, contract, and prices)

    LET THE PEOPLE DIVIDE. LET OUR PEOPLE GO.

    Rather than prosecute the false argument that ‘We’ have much in common: LET THE PEOPLE DIVIDE.

    Rulers take advantage of the false argument of the RELIGIOUS ERA: if we make claims of group interest, we can fool people into acting as if they are extended family.

    I should work on this argument a bit, because the enlightenment error of universalism, equality, and an aristocracy of everyone, is also dependent upon the monotheistic error of ‘a family of everyone’.

    Neither of these are true.

    Polytheism is superior to monotheism.

    Micro Polystatism is super to Macro-Monostatism.

    The problem of human cooperation is not moral or ethical or any other form of emotionally misleading, and intellectually false group membership.We do not need to create conceptual or moral homogeneity and equality in order to live happily and peacefully and prosperously together.

    The problem of human cooperation is technical, not preferential: PROPERTY, MONEY, and VOLUNTARY EXCHANGE.

    One cannot reason without logic.

    One cannot describe cause and consequence without narrative.

    One cannot create record and transport knowledge without writing.

    One cannot count and compare units without numbers,

    One cannot measure and compare spaces without operations and units.

    One cannot cooperate without property

    One cannot plan production, without prices.

    The market allows us to cooperate on means despite diverse ends.

    Government is just an organization for the purpose of providing decision making where no other technology exists for the purpose of decision making (direct voting).

    Legitimate government creates contracts : rights and obligations,

    Illegitimate government creates commands, and fraudulently markets them as ‘laws’.

    Government can facilitate cooperation in the market, or it facilitate rents on the market.

    A government that does other than:

    1) enforce contracts, where contracts are not constructible, or enforceable without property rights.

    2) facilitate exchanges via trade policy between classes in cases impossible to construct in the market without such trade facilitation of trade policy.

    3) Provide a means of insurance

    …obtains legitimacy by:

    4) Violence for the self preservation of the privilege of te bureaucracy.

    5) Justification under the religious era’s error of unity of interest

    6) Justification under the enlightenment’s error of equality, universalism, and

    However, this is a continuation of the technique of using repetition, obscurantism, complexity, and our natural cognitive biases, to deny us our ability and desire, to function as families, extended families and tribes, all of whom cooperate via the market.

    but instead of micro-governemtns for families, extended families and tribes, pooling interests for trade policy, insurance, and enforceability of contracts, we are forced under macro government, to give up our opportunity to trade and instead, forced to seek rents and free riding and our own freedom from the state.

    http://www.amazon.com/Escape-Leviathan-Liberty-Welfare-Reconciled/dp/0312234163Jan Lester came very close to identifying descriptive ethics of the high trust society we call northwestern european aristocratic egalitarian – the North Sea Peoples.

    He came very close. Closer than anyone else.

    And, regardless of criticisms we can lay against his work, we must acknowledge that he came very close to the correct answer: a universally descriptive system of ethics.

    Now, it has become clear, that liberty is in fact incompatible with sociobiological diversity. And I am fairly sure that it’s impossible to refute that criticism. As such, while liberty is not incompatible within a tribe of closely related people, it is entirely incompatible within diverse polity, that has access to political power, whether by bureaucratic or propertarian means.

    That said, Lester’s arguments are informative, as are Hoppe’s, for those homogenous societies with indifferent sociobiological capabilities, reproductive structures, and structures of production.

    Even if they do not help us with societies in conflict on their borders with competing social orders, or within their borders with competing moral and sociobiological orders.

    The fact that lester’s ‘externalization of costs’ is half-right, is still better than everyone else’s arguments, prior to Propertarianism’s universally descriptive ethics.

    THE LEFT: “FOOD SHORTAGES, MOB VIOLENCE, ARBITRARY EXECUTIONS”

    “The French Revolution was their chance to show what they could do when they got the power they sought. In contrast to what they promised — “liberty, equality, fraternity” — what they actually produced were food shortages, mob violence, and dictatorial powers that included arbitrary executions, extending even to their own leaders, such as Robespierre, who died under the guillotine.

    In the 20th century, the most sweeping vision of the Left — Communism — spread over vast regions of the world and encompassed well over a billion human beings. Of these, millions died of starvation in the Soviet Union under Stalin and tens of millions in China under Mao.” – Sowell

  • THE SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES BETWEEN EUROPEAN JEWISH AND EUROPEAN PROTESTANT

    THE SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES BETWEEN EUROPEAN JEWISH AND EUROPEAN PROTESTANT ETHICS

    Similarities between Ashkenazi and Northern European (Protestant) ethics: both the extended model of the jewish community, and the aristocratic ethics of the Northern European community, place onerous burdens on non-conforming, uncompetitive members, and force them out of the community where they will either reproduce elsewhere or reproduce poorly.

    Then eugenic result of these reproductive strategies is still evident in the Ashkenazi jewish population, and at least evident in the middle and upper classes of protestant civilization – although, if Lynn is correct, we protestants have lost intellectual parity with the jews over the past 150 years because we ceased our constraint on the reproduction of the lower classes and weakened our high investment parenting (and the state actively prohibits it via public education), while the jews continue their high investment parenting.

    Then major difference in these ethical systems is that the scope of Northern European (North Sea / Protestant) ethic contains the warrior constraints which have a higher standard of prohibition on externality than the Ashkenazi, which in turn has a higher standard of prohibition, and more outcasting than the eastern european, mediterranean, and middle eastern.

    1) Requirement of fully asymmetric information in an exchange.

    2) Requirement of warranty to prove symmetry of exchange.

    3) Prohibition against externalization of costs.

    4) Requirement for value added to goods.

    5) Prohibition on profit from disadvantage.

    In addition:

    6) Requirement of contribution to the physical commons.

    7) Requirement for militia service in exchange for membership.

    These ethical extensions are caused by the origins of these two peoples as an homogenous majority of land holders in the cast of northern europeans, and a homogenous minority of diasporic non-land holders in the case of the european jews. Majoritarian Militial Warriors and Minority of diasporic, unlanded traders develop very different needs.

    All ethical systems must reflect reproductive necessity. What is perhaps most interesting is that by the time we enter the 20th century, the difference between Scottish presbyterians and european jews was indistinguishable by other than trinket symbolism and surname.

    It was the introduction of eastern european jews that increased 20th century domestic friction, which is now, only three generations later, accommodating. I think McDonald has pretty much settled the case on this topic. It is what it is. We each need our reproductive strategies to survive.

    I get a little flack for my criticism of Rothbard’s ethics as the failed attempt to reconcile the ethics of european aristocratic egalitarian liberty with Jewish ethics of the diasporic peoples. But the point of my argument is a necessary one. I cannot repair the ethics of liberty without correcting the properties of those ethics by expanding those set of ethical constraints to reflect the aristocratic high trust society.

    Because it is that high trust society that makes northern europeans unique in the world.

    Just as I get quite a bit of flack for attacking the assumption that feminist ambitions can be perpetuated without the near universal adherence to the absolute nuclear family.

    Just as I get quite a bit of flack for attacking the libertarian movement as autistically blind to moral diversity, and our attempt to assert moral monopoly on human cooperation. Morals must reflect reproductive needs, at least within groups, even if the only moral constraint between groups is can bear no difference between private property rights.

    I just get flack for these arguments. But the fact is that they are simply true. Its just objective. Our reproductive strategies determine our ethical codes.

    I cannot recommend institutional solutions to the problem of cooperation in a morally heterogeneous polity absent a tyrannical state unless I make it also clear that these reproductives strategies are rational, and moral for their adherents. It is not rational that individuals should prefer strategies and moral codes that are against their reproductive interests.

    So, as always, I apologize in advance for the murder of sacred cows, but it’s necessary for mutual benefit.
