    THE AMBITIONS OF CATTLE

    —“Curt, what are your thoughts on metamodernism?”—

    No matter how you slice it, activists on the left are nothing more than human cattle seeking the monopoly of a cattle herd, the indifference (equality) of cattle in a herd, and the safety of cattle in the herd, in order to obtain a sense of ‘not being left behind’, and ‘a sense of control over a world” in which the continuous production of differences and hierarchies is constantly equilibrated by markets that are by definition out of our control, but entirely in our service.

    People who obtain their direction from the movement of the herd, their information from the herd, and color their decisions from the herd, display the cognitive biases of the herd: the sentiments of women.

    Meanwhile the conservative says “if we simply raise good families, and produce good commons the markets will provide by externality all that we can want or imagine”. These are the cognitive biases of the pack. The sentiments of men. It was men who made markets, property, families, marriage, continuous innovation, and the worship of the sun and stars, against the will of women, who at all times and all places seek to return us to the primitivism that is not in their interest but ours.

    The left are to be sated, comforted, and disciplined, but like women, never permitted to fulfill their ambitions and return us to primitivism.

    2) but those windfalls, the temporary lifting of the underclasses into middle class consumption post civil- and world-war because of them, created too much incentive for those against meritocracy – and they sought under marxism, and postmodernism to use US openness to destroy it.

    by Ely Harman

    Slaves -> Serfs -> Free Men -> Lords -> Kings -> Gods -> King of the Gods

    (Also: Beast > Slave > Serf > Freeman > Citizen > Senator > Emperor. )

    The hierarchy can of course be reorganized or individuals can rise or fall within it (to a limited extent) but the point of even having a hierarchy is to be united under one structure.

    If you’re just doing your own thing, you don’t get that benefit, you don’t get the economies of scale or the network effects. People doing that might as well be atheists.

    But if they’re doing stuff together, they are a true religious community, and their own, individual, influence on the norms, doctrines, beliefs, etc… Of the community are minimal. Rather, they adopt those of the community.

  • Overhearing local (older) democratic activists both with state employment in the

    Overhearing local (older) democratic activists both with state employment in their histories, talking about how corporations don’t pay their fair share.

    I dunno. I think voting should require passing an economics exam, three children, a home, and military service.

    This is Connecticut for chrissake. Its the state most hostile to business in America. The state with the worst drivers. It’s one sh-t hole from springfield MA to the border of Fairfield county. Hartford, Meriden, Danbury, Waterbury, New Haven, Bridgeport.

    People escape connecticut other than fairfield like they escape detroit.

    Seriously, I can feel the intelligence dissipating around me like the space vampires in “Lifeforce”.
