    I am very good at it. Genocide and mass migration are the most decisive sources of change in all of history. They are the black swans: events whose consequences nullify all others. And you are generating demand for war.

    It’s starting. When in ’14 I said it would occur between ’19-20, but no later than ’25 people said I was dreaming. I wasn’t dreaming… I was looking at the data. Every Great Migration ends in catastrophic warfare and the fall of civilizations. Always. Every single time.

    THE CYCLES OF HISTORY
    History does demonstrate a set of cycles, and it’s rather obvious and many people have written about them and they tend to be the great syntopical historians. Economics has made history more intelligible. And most of us study economic history – not literary – because of it.

    So, (a) we began local speciation , (b) the end of the ice age provided a food advantage (c) cows provided a 40% food advantage, (d) horse, bronze, and wheel with cows provided an extraordinary competitive advantage – at least across the eurasian plain with high production per square mile at high cost of defense and high cost of transport. Conversely, the flood river valleys provided an advantage with high concentration of production per square mile, at low cost of defense and low cost of transport. And the desert, steppe, and tundra provided low productivity per square mile, high cost of transport, and because of that the inability to produce concentrations of capital necessary for state formation, and the returns on capital commons.

    While this describes only a triangular model of geographic dependence, all others fit on this triangle somewhere, sufficiently to explain the differences.

    If we add homogeneity and heterogeneity of populations we see that homogeneous populations in the far east and far west were more successful than heterogenous populations in the center – although most of the races and cultures of the middle east have been eradicated over time, the Arab, Iranic, and North african remain. The turks arrived from mongolia fairly recently, the original caucasians and anatolians are almost lost to us.

    And it is rational and demonstrable that between the geography, demography, and social order at the Age of Transformation (state formation, empire formation, religion formation, civilization formation) that we developed at that point and persisted various grammars (paradigms, and attendant logics) that are expressions of our strategies, our laws that enforce them, and the narratives that justify them.

    MAN REMAINS A DARWINIAN ANIMAL
    We all follow Racial, civilizational, national, class, gender, and individual moral intuitions, which are nothing more than our genetic demand for persistence at lowest cost to us: greatest return in the shortest time at the lowest cost at the least risk with the greatest certainty.

    Now, a simpleton like you might come here and expect to learn everything from a drive by but the purpose of my work is to end the industrialization of lying, and the second attempt at an abrahamic dark age, thereby repeating the past.

    TRUTH IS ENOUGH
    Truth is enough.
    Reciprocity is enough.
    The law is enough.
    We are enough.

    The semi-domesticated animals are found not worth domesticating.

    Revolt, Separate, Prosper, Speciate.

    If this cannot be done peacefully.
    We will do it by non peaceful means.

    “CURT DOESN’T KNOW HISTORY, HE NEEDS TO READ A BOOK”

    to: @Gareth Martin

    I thought you were going to present some counterfactuals. But no.

    I’m tracing the evolution of truthful speech on the one hand and competing forms of speech on the other. The premise is that this is because of accidents of western origin.

    Now, you can try to make some argument or other, but in general you’ve made two false ones.

    THE CODE OF HAMMURABI
    The code of hammurabi like the inquisition for that matter, were attempts to standardize punishments between heterogeneous groups within the “empire”, so that retaliation cycles (feuds) did not scale between those groups.

    THE PHOENICIAN GROUP STRATEGY
    The phoenicians originated either as southern semites on the southern persian gulf, or in situ from earlier northern semitic survivors of the climate crisis. It appears the latter but it is nearly impossible to separate out their genetics, other than to say that lebanese are an old people. same problem with greek aristocracy. We don’t have samples from enough individuals yet to know.

    As far as we know they survived by pastoralism and fishing, but because they had the location and sufficient skill and organization, they were able to discount the shipping cost of Tin from the afghanistan route, and copper from the european route, and there is some evidence of local tin mining. So they capitalized in the ‘arms trade’ of the day (bronze was to the ancient world what oil is today. Waterways are still the cheapest method of transportation of heavy goods. They leveraged this wealth to create a coastal trading empire of city states.

    Agrarian societies are more expensive to tovern than naval (as the romans discovered when expanding into europe) because land is slow and costly to cover quickly but can be covered by foot soldiers rather rapidly (at 20m per day).

    So phoenicians like athenians and the british and unlike the persians and the germans and the spartans could concentrate wealth in capital with higher returns. But like jews, palestinians, and gypsies today they could not resist armies. They played Switzerland for the ancient empires precisely because they DIDN”T have capable armies, but were too useful as transporters. This utility ended when they competed with rome, that was, like the USA a combined marine and army power engaging in trade where possible, rule where possible, and predation where possible.

    There was no enlightenment other than the British – all others were counter revolutions against the empirical revolution. The Germans nearly restored our past, nearly brought about the second scientific revolution, but War sent Germany’s scientific treasure to America’s Treasury.
