    THE TIME FOR COOPERATION (EQUALITY OF SOVEREIGNTY) IS PAST

    by Eli Harman

    Peterson is trying, Doolittle is trying, every conservative and libertarian has BEEN trying, for the last 50 years, to leave the door open to cooperation, coexistence, and compromise with the left. When they finally and inevitably fail to secure a good faith acceptance for their offer, we will be there, to do the other things. But the offer is necessary, because the inevitable refusal and betrayal are necessary, in order to legitimize what must be done. It will not be said that we didn’t give them enough chances to save themselves. We will give them too many. We already have.

    ( Curt Doolittle: Yes. The time for hope is past. My intentions are to provide a compromise: full reciprocity, thereby treating ‘the others’ (those who lack agency) as foreigners, with whom we settle differences by market cooperation. However, by advocating ‘market fascism’, and aristocratic rule, I’m advocating taking a parental (paternal) responsibility for the ‘others’, in the kindest sense, a domestication of them for profit, out of self-defense, in the middle of the spectrum, and their extermination at the end of the spectrum. My strategy is to simply state this truthfully. And prepare for war. And choose any of the three options that will be available to us in a state of war. I do not fear them. And there are consequences to exterminating them – although I am not sure all are bad. But to domesticate them for profit as we have done for millennia is a position I have a hard time arguing with. Market slavery is still slavery.)

  • Synonyms: Altruism, Morality, Virtue

    SYNONYMS Altruism(direct), Morality(indirect), Virtue(long term) a) find an example of altruism that is not an example of kin selection. (you won’t) b) find an example of morality that is not an example of investing in future reciprocity (you won’t) c) find an example of virtue that is not an example of bearing a cost (‘banking’). you won’t. It should be fairly obvious after making a few lists of a/b/c that this is the same question at three different scales.

  • The Distillation of Western Civilization

    THE DISTILLATION OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION If you would be sovereign, you must fight. If you would be sovereign and win, you must equally confederate. If you would be sovereign and confederate, you must equally compromise. If you would be sovereign and equally compromise, you must equally forgo opportunities for gain at another’s loss. If you would be sovereign and equally forgo equal opportunities to gain at another’s loss, your actions are limited to those that are productive, fully informed, warrantied, and voluntary, and limited to productive externalities. If you limit your actions to those, then the ONLY possible rule is rule by Common, judge-discovered, Natural Law of Non Imposition of Costs, and therefore, voluntary markets in everything: association, cooperation, reproduction, production, production of commons, production of dispute resolution, production of institutions, productions of monuments, production of war, productions of generations, This is Western Civilization: the choice of Sovereignty once made produces all that we have done. Small things in large numbers have vast consequences. If you would be Sovereign, and reap the benefits of Sovereignty, you must fight – fight to deny others all possible alternatives. If you will not fight you cannot be sovereign. You may beg the Sovereigns for commercial liberty, or physical freedom, or charity, in exchange for compensation. But you may never be in fact sovereign. by William Butchman, Eli Harman, and Curt Doolittle

  • For Sovereigns, Truth Is the Only Possible Authority

    by Alex Sea Negotiation vs. Imposition Two sovereigns must appeal to truth as their ultimate authority – a low cost for them, as they are dealers in truth, but an exorbitant one to those who deal in falsehoods. The further from sovereignty a party is, the more costly the transaction is, as the sovereign must account for all parties between the two, and he ultimately appeals to truth on behalf of those who appeal to him, or suffers retaliation. In interactions between sovereign and citizen, the citizen must appeal to sovereign, the sovereign to truth. Between sovereign and Freeman, the Freeman to sovereign, the sovereign to citizen and truth. Etc, down to enemy. The sovereign’s decision must be bearable to all above the party being directly dealt with and is imposed upon all those below that party – within boundaries that balance the cost of the imposition and their agency.

  • “To make your job easy, let me translate Curt’s model for the folk below +3 sigm

    —“To make your job easy, let me translate Curt’s model for the folk below +3 sigma: conflict resolution and cooperation among sovereign peers is a different GAME than organization of non-sovereigns by a central sovereign. This cybernetic differential produces different optimizations, which we call civilizational strategies. If you can cut the lifeblood of other agents on a whim (centrally organized irrigation), then you can rule by fiat. If you can’t overwhelm, force other agents cheaply into submission, then you’ll have to discover a method of adjudication in conflicts such that you get stable cooperation instead of retaliation and defect/defect equilibrium. In other words, you’ll discover natural law, and you’ll incrementally get better at truth telling to make it work.”— Propertarian Frank

    Example.

    Library, woman shrieks because she can’t find her child for a moment.

    Every man in hearing range is on his feet and moving before her next breath. We don’t even think, we just move.

    All the women…. sitting and watching.

    Never understand why women are afraid of men in general.

  • I am on my side. I am on my kin’s side I am on my extended kin’s side I am on my

    I am on my side.

    I am on my kin’s side

    I am on my extended kin’s side

    I am on my civilization’s side.

    Truth happens to be the weapon of choice in this battle, because it lets us build commons and compete via commons against those that cannot compete via commons. And because it is by cunning deceits sold to women and the underclass that we have been defeated in the ancient and modern worlds.

    I considered myself a classical liberal. I had the constitution and declaration and a map of the world on my bedroom walls, and a set of encyclopedias under that map. I stared at them a lot. Not romantically, and not ideologically, but in the context of what I learned from those and other encyclopedias.

    I considered my self a libertarian (a hayekian classical liberal) when I believed in the potential of mankind..

    And current events have made me understand that such a fantasy was the product of european eugenics, and that the rest of humanity except for perhaps the Japanese and koreans is are still but animals, and we we must protect ourselves and our generations from them.

    I love sovereignty and will pay for it with my life.

    I love liberty for those who can pay for it.

    I love freedom for those who can wield it.

    For the rest, the best we can do is prevent them from harming us, our people, our civilization, and this planet.
