    THE PERFECT RELIGION? GOVERNMENT? LAW? AESTHETICS?

    —“You said Christianity was made to destroy Rome. What religion do you think we should embrace instead?”—

    Christianity was made for powerless dim ignorant desert tribes to provide a theology of obedience and inclusion for the underclass that imitated homer and aristotle for the upper classes, and stoicism-epicureanism for the middle classes, and Sol Invictus for the working classes. It was successful at creating obedience and inclusion by false promise and lies, and undermining the upper class’ truth, markets, familial meritocracy with a claim of oppression (rather than domestication) at cost of continuous stasis if not decline. So it was imposed by force by the eastern non-greco-roman empire on the roman empire, to achieve the middle eastern conquest of the west, just as alexander had conquered the east. In the end, both experiments failed. Eventually Semites(Lies) and Europeans(Truth) reverted.

    The perfect religion?

    1) The Stoic Method-Epicureanism: Mindfulness and Love of Life; 2) Heathenism: nature and ancestors; 3) Paganism: Masculine Heroes for the strong; 4) Scientists/Artists for the Able; 5) Jesus and the Saints: Feminine Heroes for the weak. And European Transcendence of Man. THE PERFECT GOVERNMENT

    –“You said Marxism, Postmodernism, Feminism, Denialism were made to destroy our civilization. So, what is the best government?”–

    We had the Best System of Government (Perfect Government) and we blew it: 1) Nomocracy (Rule of Law by Natural Law of Torts: Reciprocity, under Property-in-toto, and Transcendence of Man) 2) A Hereditary Monarchy as Judge of Last Resort, and custodian of territory, institutions, organizations, families, and individuals. …. A State(Foreign Relations) Organization, …. A Professional Military, …. A Professional Judiciary, and …. A Treasury of Last Resort. 3) A Market for Commons consisting of: …. Regional Nobility(Persistent Military Families) serving as a normative Supreme Court (Virtues) …. A House of Industry(Commons) for those with responsibilities. (prosperity) …. A House of Arts (Labor) …. A Church Serving as a House of family. (Family) 4) A Local (Democratic) Polity(private partnership) of Property Owners …. A Militia and Sheriffs …. Voluntary Civic Organizations 5) The Nuclear Family. And Family and Nation as subject of policy 6) The Individual and Property as the subject of law. Really. You can’t do much better than that for a ‘steady state’. Because under war or stress the organization can switch from market rule to military rule (Fascism), and under plenty the organization can switch from market rule to (contingent and temporary) redistribution. The central problem with all forms of government is nothing more complex than the demographics of the polity. The larger the demonstrated underclass, the less effective a government and the more risk involved and the more limited are one’s options. The smaller the demonstrated underclass, the more effective a government and the less risk involved and the more plentiful (variable) are one’s options. Market governments cause a natural eugenic change in the distribution, while creating the greatest adaptability, rate of innovation(competition) and highest standard of living. But they require a militia or at least a dedicated military to bring into being. PERFECT LAW Truth and Duty, Promise and Contract, Sovereignty, Reciprocity, Law of Tort, Jury, and the resulting competition in markets in all aspects of life; and the eugenic suppression of the underclasses by those markets, creating the continuous rapid evolution of european man as a result. THE PERFECT AESTHETIC Heroism and Competition, Cunning and Maneuver Excellence and Beauty, Plenty and Fertility, Masculine men and Feminine Women and the Transcendence of Man into Gods.

  • Leaders Do Not Shy from The Truth when Their Group Strategy and Competitive Advantage Is the Truth.

    Truth is what it is. Leaders do not shy from the truth when their group strategy and competitive advantage is The Truth. Restoring western civ requires restoring the constitutional monarchies for the purpose of judge of last resort. The fact that your head is full of as much bullshit about monarchies as the left is full of bullshit about white people, is because you’re just as much a victim of bullshit as they are. 1) Hoppe is right on incentives of “Renters” in government. 2) Michels is right about the iron law of oligarchy and the consequences of democracy. 3) Schmidt is right about the need for the law to handle exceptions. 4) Legions (exp Bagehot) are right that monarchies are the most successful form of government in history, and democracies always fail from hyperconsumption and competition over access to power, the violates the natural law, which is that we may have no power over one another other than denial of parasitism. 4) I am right that (a) monarchy is necessary for the denial of power, (b) denial of influence, (b) limiting the fashions of the people – and far better record than any president. Monarchs and Prime ministers and allocation to parties, have always defeated presidents, speakers of the house, and the first past the post two-party system in every possible case. QUOTES Because a ceremony of men, kin, nation is far better than a ceremony of false gods, ideology, politicians – or consumption. The best Governments of the World have been composed of Monarchy, Aristocracy, and Democracy. The best reason why Monarchy is a strong government is, that it is an intelligible government. The mass of mankind understand it, and they hardly anywhere in the world understand any other. The Sovereign has, under a constitutional monarchy such as ours, three rights – the right to be consulted, the right to encourage, the right to warn. And a king of great sense and sagacity would want no others. Monarchy hardens into despotism. Aristocracy contracts into oligarchy. Democracy expands into the supremacy of numbers. They that are discontented under monarchy, call it tyranny; and they that are displeased with aristocracy, call it oligarchy: so also, they which find themselves grieved under a democracy, call it anarchy, which signifies the want of government; and yet I think no man believes, that want of government, is any new kind of government. The British monarchy has the political and constitutional task of subtracting from the government and governors of Britain the papal and kingly airs that in America, because we have no such institution, unfortunately adhere to the president. I believe that the visit of the Queen to the United States is an admirable occasion to produce an historical, truthful, sincere, genuine analysis of how the British Monarchy evolved into its present situation. Americans also seem to believe that the monarchy is a kind of mediaeval hangover, encumbered by premodern notions of decorum; the reality is that the British monarchy, for good or ill, is a modern political institution perhaps the first modern political institution. What royal families are very good at doing is surviving and reinventing themselves. That’s true whether it’s a constitutional monarchy in Britain or an authoritarian monarchy. If a nation does not want a monarchy, change the nations mind. If a nation does not need a monarchy, change the nations needs. Edit

  • Morality Doesn’t Scale

    Nov 18, 2019, 10:23 AM The reason we need a Sun Tzu a Machiavelli, and a Doolittle, is because we are civilized and moral people and do not grasp the limit beyond which the immoral is necessary for group success. Conversely the reason for Jewish and Muslim success in underming, weakening, conquest, destruction by consumption, and failure of creating a civilization of their own as a growing, going concern, is their immorality. In other words. Law may be a moral discipline, but war by genetic, informational, financial, economic, and military means is not a moral discipline. You cannot simply, like a pet, learn habits, without reason. Because other people do not learn moral habits. They learn immoral habits and call them ‘good’. We live in an era of SCALE. The world, the universe, the very large and the very small. Our minds evolved to habituate almost everything and reason only when necessary. But we live in an era where reason is always necessary. ANd this is why democracy fails. Not enough of us have knowledge. Not enough skill, and far too few of us reason, and fewer still who reason across time. Most of us are still semi-domesticated, well trained animals. That does not mean that like the herd we must tolerate being led to slaughter.

  • The Smith and The Demon – Our Oldest Folk Tale and Our First Moral Lesson: Baiting Into Hazard

    THE SMITH AND THE DEMON – OUR OLDEST FOLK TALE AND OUR FIRST MORAL LESSON: BAITING INTO HAZARD According to research applying phylogenetic techniques to linguistics by folklorist Sara Graça da Silva and anthropologist Jamie Tehrani,”The Smith and the Devil” may be one of the oldest European folk tales, with the basic plot stable throughout the Indo-European speaking world from India to Scandinavia, possibly being first told in Indo-European 6,000 years ago in the Bronze Age. Our ancestors were metalworkers – and the most common name – smith – a reminder. Medieval hell evolved from the blacksmith’s forge. The oldest myth of the west is Faust (the devil and the blacksmith) The Europeans worship a sky god (nature, sun) and magic, the Semites a moon and star (astrology, heavens) Why isn’t Faust Europe and the devil Abrahamism’s false promise? In other words, why isn’t our foundational myth a warning against Abrahamism/Semitism? Because what does the demon practice? False promise, baiting into moral hazard, defended with pilpul and critique.
