  • Differences in Standards

    Jan 5, 2020, 2:53 PM by Vengefül Bobmoran High trust people require not only the absence of conflict of interest, but also the absence of appearance of conflict of interest, as the appearance itself is enough to erode trust and imposes a huge cost on everyone. The left applies the bare minimum ghetto ethic (no provable conflict of interest – cheap, easy deniability and pilpul) to its own, but will gladly apply our standards (no appearance of conflict of interest – expensive compliance) to us. They don’t even care about maintaining trust; they just intuit the huge costs of adherence to our standards and attack us with it, in the same way that they use the judicial process itself, rather than the judgement, as a weapon. This also explains how they can suddenly be more Catholic than the Pope when criticizing us: it’s all about maximizing the costs (damages) they can impose.

  • You Don”t Need to Be an Entrepreneur, Just on An Entrepreneurial Team

    Jan 10, 2020, 2:48 PM Competitiveness isn’t always a good thing to wish in yourself. For those of us that are hyper competitive, the warfare – so to speak – is more enjoyable than the loot that comes from winning it. I don’t like internal conflict but I love external competition. All of us that ‘achieve’ are the same. We love the battle. We’d rather fight hard and lose than not fight at all. You probably can’t make yourself do that. You can however, get on a TEAM with those that do. And use loyalty, work, and discipline to assist them – and get the loot. In other words, don’t necessarily want to be in CHARGE of warfare. Benefit from supporting those who do.

  • Pagans Had Monogamy and Rules to Enforce It Before Abrahamism Came Along

    Jan 18, 2020, 8:20 AM MONOGAMY by Erik Lukovsky Pagans had monogamy and rules to enforce it before Abrahamism came along Monotheism popularized those rules All people have polygamous and monogamous inclinations(genes), usually one more so than the other Monogamy existed(and still can exist) as a form of exchange, in which women offer sexual access and a guarantee that the males offspring is his(virginity) in exchange for the mans protection, economic resources, and attention(in some cases) It ” can ” be the most optimal strategy under the right conditions – there are also conditions under which other systems can work, but nevertheless, there has yet to be a successful civilization that practices polygamy(because men will revolt and kill other men if they don’t have access to women)

  • Some Thoughts on The Richmond Rally

    Jan 21, 2020, 4:20 PM by Julian le Roux

    1. We couldn’t have hoped for a better outcome.
    2. I was expecting much smaller attendance and at least some serious conflict.
    3. Amazing demonstration of the level of self-control, civilization (and conviviality to boot) amongst the Right.
    4. Further to (3), I imagine the Left / media will have a very hard time manipulating or memory-holing such a unambiguous message.
    5. Overwhelming safety-in-numbers should provide a huge boost to morale and willingness to participate.
    6. The show of force has ensured that no-one can claim that they weren’t respectfully warned about the Rights’ commitment and seriousness. The fact that a clear message has been sent, supports the Right moral justification should future events require stronger action.
    7. The ball has moved forward substantially for Peaceful Separation, and the rally has opened up new avenues to normalize that narrative.
    8. It’s become easier to assert that the Right Desires Peace.
    9. Again, being able to claim the mantle of Peace helps to draw in more normies and shift them towards our position.

  • Churchianity vs Christianity vs The Philosophy of Jesus.

    Jan 22, 2020, 9:50 PM You now, I follow the religion of my ancestors (Excellence, heroism, sovereignty, and debts that are ‘true’) and the philosophy of Jesus (purchase of cooperation through exhaustion of love, forgiveness, charity), and the philosophy of my civilization (falsification by realism, naturalism, materialism, operationalism, empiricism, sovereignty-volition, reciprocity, and testimonial truth). I use the philosophy of Jesus, Aristotle, and our ancestors long lost to history (European Aryanism). I understand that those that lack agency need christianity in exclusivity (monopoly) even if the rest of us use different archetypes for different purposes given that we have more agency (markets). So it depends upon the portfolio of control you have over your life. Modern life would suggest that the monopoly of the abrahamic deceits is harmful. And that we can see jesus as a philosopher of the personal and social if not the material, economic, political, military, and strategic. This is why I will always and everywhere recommend Markets (our group strategy) and criticize christianity (monpoly), as harmful. We need many saints, demigods, or gods (role models), but each of us may or must, choose the hierarchy of those gods that we will spend most of our time imitating. I know who I use: Aristotle, Alexander, Caesar, Arthur, Jefferson and Hayek. And when
