    not at all. you exist becuase of aristocracy domesticating your ancestors through a continous meritocratic manorial meat grinder, that lifted european civ and mankind out of barbarism.

    Early 90s’. NYC. Trump Tower. Jewish acquaintances 70’s, Met through the arts community. Wife was excellent networker. We made great power couple. Invite wife and I for lunch. Proper, cultured people with proper manners. Family made their money buying retail buildings in the city during the depression. Went medical. Were doing medical research. We discuss present and future rental streams in the city. Problems they have etc. Turns out they want to invest in tech. Looking to find investment in the biz thru someone they can know or trust – usual jewish excellence at relationship building. I tell them tech is trendy but to only invest in what you know. Mine isn’t an investable business for them because it is too young, too uncertain, and that I have investors already. If anything they should look for product companies or use dips to accumulate blue chips. I know they know this but they are looking for another amazon or microsoft win. Reality is that even if you really enjoy their company as people, you don’t want investors from outside your industry if at all possible – even angels. the cost of education explaining and updating them is not worth the price of their money. You want an investor that doesn’t ask ‘how does that work’ but instead looks at income statement and balance sheet histories and tells you that in their experience, from what you’ve told them, you’re overinvesting here and will need more money at this point. You want people smarter than you at what you don’t do yet. Money is not good at any cost. It’s a prison. And they do far more damage than good. In fact, except in refi or exit, most investors have been a dead weight causing harm to the businesses I’ve been involved with.

    HMMM…. MY PROMOTION OF ARISTOCRACY IS NOTHING SO SIMPLE

    —“My impression is that Curt is rather fond of the power disparity that separated the noble aristocracy from the other people, and that he would rather restore that so that aristocrats would have the time to run the world instead of having to bother defending themselves. One reason he likes ancestor worship is because it delineates who is in and out without a fight, in theory.”—Giego Caleiro

    hmm… Some element of truth in there somewhere. But it’s more along the lines of I would prefer I was governed by my betters – successful intergenerational families – than those who are not, because I don’t want to govern all these barbarians and someone has to at last defend decent people from them. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    But the more precise explanation is that the purpose of rule of law, monarchy and militia is to deny ANYONE power, and the purpose of nobility (successful intergenerational families) is to suppress the fashions and passions of the mob that is not successful at the production of intergenerational families, so that we can all keep power distance local and low over our lives, and find meaning in the civil society instead of political warfare..

    The reason I prefer ancestor worship is to maintain intergenerational debt (transfer), nationalism, the willingness of the underclass not to reproduce, and the willingness of the productive classes to redistribute, and preservation of the traditions of western civilization and it’s novel organization that has and will continue to transcend man – rather than tolerate another invasion by the newest sophistm, pseudoscience and lie.

    (sarcasm)

    The french have a monopoly on the bad ideas of modernity. It’s sorta down hill after descartes. The ship of state leaks with the prosecution of the protestant business class. It’s a sinking-of-the-titanic by the French Revolution, and the peasantry’s genocide against the aristocracy. … There is no equal to russian literature. There is no equal to shakespeare. There is no equal to british empiricism and government. There is no equal to scottish enlightenment. There is no equal to italian art. No equal to german engineering. No equal to american law. …. Nor any equal to french folly. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    I love pissing on the french. lol

    ( Well, technically parisians. )

    HARSH WORDS ON CONSPIRACY

    Let me tell you how the world works.

    People who need organizations are not those with power.

    People who need ‘societies’ are not those with power.

    People who heed religions are not those with power.

    People who need ideologies or philosophies are not those with power.

    People with power have LOTS OF PEOPLE around them giving them power and asking them for power.

    And everyone giving, getting and distributing power, is working in his or her self interest.

    And the business, financial, government sector is just trying to make make money by keeping people consuming, while academic sector is sucking their dicks, and the military is seeking opportunity to scare people into giving them money.

    Here is what people in power do: They maintain the power economy that keeps them in power. When they meet outside their power economy, they talk on three levels at once.

    – Trivial niceties to signal fitness for cooperation

    – Sharing information about opportunities and risks using subtleties, in order to obtain information that they can use or gain favor on future opportunities by giving what can be used by another.

    – identifying opportunities for minor – cost neutral – changes by each that together would increase the gains of each.

    Average people can’t imagine how simple the world is nor how tediously, boringly, EMPIRICAL the people who run the world are, nor how much the grownups DUMB SH-T DOWN so the morons keep working and buying.

    You live in a world of trivial posturing because you and everyone around you has no power or meaning. People with power have the opposite condition. They are soaking in power meaning and opportunity and can only afford the mental time to invest in the best opportunities for their limited attention. The don’t have to signal or posture like people who have no power or meaning.

    Do you know why? because resources to maintain power economies are always scarce. Because power economies are always in competition keeping the price of power high.

    The world is full of grownups with power

    They have power becuase people gave it to them.

    They maintain power becuase people keep giving it to them.

    People in power are funnels for concentrating power in places where int can have impact – just like the military concentrates forces to win a battle, or just lke a hundred people pass the bucket to concentrate their efforts in a division of labor.

    And those grownups are tediously boring.

    Because by and large they’re engaged in accounting.

    And using accounting as a nervous system.

    And occasionally investing in opportunities that take a long time to bring to fruition.

    And you can tell yourselves all sorts of paranoid lies to convince yourself that you understand the world. But that is all you’re doing.

    Conversely,there are people in activism, media, academy, politics, religion, and the state, and those that seek privileges from the state to VIOLATE reciprocity for one excuse or another. That is the left. The left has no power so it conspires to obtain power. That’s what LEFTIST MEANS: conspire to obtain power by non meritocratic irreciprocal means.

    What’s wrong with the world:

    1. The only thing wrong with the world at any given time is the organization of incentives in relation to human capital – knowledge, norms, culture, and demographics.

    2. Money is how we incentivize people.

    3. Law is how we engineer the organization of incentives.

    4. War (violence) is how we engineer the opportunity to use law to organize incentives.

    Everything else is some sort of kindergarten game. And you conspiracy kiddies don’t get anywhere near the ridicule you deserve.

    (((They))) are following instincts and programming, which we know because women use exactly the same technique via the state as (((They))) use in usury. Instincts are not conspiracies. That doesn’t mean there aren’t conspirators. It means that our idiocy at spreading capitalism democracy and rule of law is just as idiotic as their spreading globalism and socialism, pseudoscience, boating into hazard, and parasitic financialism. The animal follows its instincts until trained otherwise by his betters.

    In general, every person with any power in this world is following obvious rational incentives. All the bad “conspiracy stuff” happens at the bottom and middle where people don’t have power but want to use some stupid cheat in order to get it.

    Most of us feel the need to join organizations of all kinds, whether in our minds, in social, in charity, in business, or in political, in order to obtain some sense of agency control and therefore meaning in our lives – but that is all it is. The search for meaning because POWER DISTANCE IS TOO GREAT FOR US TO HAVE REAL MEANING.

    And that is what I”m out to change.

    Power distance restores meaning and eliminates the opportunity for evil.

    Reducing Power distance it puts the civil society back to work in its self defense.

    Scale is always bad.
