  • The Difficulty in Cooperating on Externalities

    Jan 24, 2020, 7:57 AM Another axis of causality is the difficulty in cooperating on externalities, when it’s the collective sum of externalities that produces scale returns on cooperation (trust, velocity, tolerance). We make many decisions every day that can be biased for or against the group interest regardless of cost to us. Likewise hostile groups within a polity can bias their decisions against the host people’s interests. This is how social warfare is conducted: undermining.

  • Christian Compatibility

    Jan 24, 2020, 1:38 PM Yeah, well you know, the faithful need to believe the mythos is true because men said so. We, the rational, only need to understand that Christian love, natural law of reciprocity and the physical laws are written in the structure of the universe regardless of what men said. The difference is between a personal god that they desire, and the impersonal god or nature that we observe. What we can say is that whether you are a supernatural and theological Christian first and Aristotelian second, or an Aristotelian first and scientific Christian second, that the only difference is their need to preserve the social construction of a personal deity and a life after death. Like the empathic female (christians-first), and the analytic male (aristotelians-first), women and men are also compatible – we are just not identical. I don’t know why that’s intolerable other than it leaves them on the defense in creating the social construction of a mythical reality in which they have a greater sense of control than they in fact do. But it is simply true that people who lack agency need more rigid less dynamic rules to live by. Whereas we have greater agency and are comfortable with scientific christian love, scientific natural law, and scientific physical law, because we have ourselves and others of equal agency to trust – and they don’t. So it’s understandable that they want their faith to produce the outcomes. It’s understandable that we don’t need faith in order to produce the same outcome. And it’s rather obvious that these two positions are as compatible as are the male and female.

  • Passive Morality Isn’t Moral It’s Immoral – Free Riding

    Jan 25, 2020, 4:23 PM by Luke Weinhagen Passive morality isn’t. Conflating docility (submissive to morality, passive) with morality is like conflating helplessness (being incapable of violence, passive) with being peaceful. Both may describe your behavior but not your character nor your potential for reciprocity.

  • Why Does Reciprocity Make Libertarians Butthurt?

    Jan 26, 2020, 8:57 AM

    —“I shared some Curt Doolittle posts about reciprocity and libertarians got extremely butthurt. Why is that? When I started talking about the cultivation of self, of yourself as a man, my “friends” from secret groups started trying to get me to denounce what I said and repent in public. Sjw-like behavior. But why?””—Christopher M Matthews

    Because rothbardian libertarianism is an SJW-targeted system of thought, argued with SJW logic, producing another Abrahamic cult of sophism. There is only one source of sovereignty, liberty, and freedom, and that is the natural law of reciprocity, insured by all able bodied men bearing arms. There is nothing more to be said. Libertarians won’t pay for the commons, because like those whose immoral ethics and sophomoric reasoning they imitate, they want to parasitically free ride upon the payment for commons by others, just as if they were wandering sheepherders or hunter gatherers with no necessity or responsibility of land holding. They don’t somehow grasp, despite some economic understanding, that one must produce sufficient commons to defend against the strongest opponent in the market for territory, polity, and order of their preference. So, those that produce greater commons in one way or another (whether predatory, parasitic, or productive) defeat those that do not produce commons sufficient to compete with them. Ergo, the market demands at least sufficient funding of commons to preserve sovereignty, liberty, and freedom, and it turns out that holding territory sufficient to create a condition of sovereignty is expensive. That is why all those who’ve failed are gone. It’s why there are at present something like 500 dead gods – the tombstones of peoples who failed.

  • Truth Spoken by A Wise Woman

    Jan 28, 2020, 10:30 AM by Christie Lynn Edds Cali I have learned through the years you must be very direct with a man. That doesn’t mean being disrespectful or rude. I once had it described as guys mind is like a set of boxes. They have a box open and they are working on that box. That is good, a man needs focus. We are like a browser with 25 tabs open, flitting from one to another. That is not a bad thing, we are wired that way so we are thinking about the gas gauge, soccer practice and dinner all at the same time. If we need them to pay attention to another box we have to get their attention. May your marriage have peace and joy.

    (CD: men think in boxes. Femininity takes precedence over most boxes – other than threats. And only femininity can overcome threats.)

    Africans regularly kill on another in vast numbers for uproductive reasons. The fact that we choose not to do so, does not distract from the reasons we choose not to do so eve though we can.
