    —What if aliens come? Would they be right in taking the earth?—

    A right can exist only as a question between peers who are cooperating or may cooperate, or fear not cooperating. Once we are no longer cooperating no ‘right’ exists other than ‘can’. to think otherwise is to fail to mature into an adult. as children we can appeal to parents for judicial resolution (right), as members of a group, appeal to the group for juridical resolution (right), as citizens appeal to the judiciary for juridical resolution (right), and as humans appeal to all sorts of foreign organizations for defense. But when aliens with superior technology come, there is no ‘right’. There is only can. There is no jury judge, or ally to appeal to. Might can make right or wrong, but in the end, if there is to exist ‘right’ it can only be made by might. There is no other possibility. and it is not only foolish to imagine so, criminal to advocate for, but a threat to man, beast, plant, and planet.

    FOR WHAT IS GOSSIP BUT AN ATTEMPT TO DECREASE TRUST?

    —“As for the proximate cause—progressivism—yes, the left’s actions do tend produce states contrary to their stated goals.

    Ultimately they seek power. And so increasing conflict and decreasing trust produces demand for the state and discretionary legislation, which they are more than happy to supply.

    However profitable that may be in the short-run, it is not a stable model, and appears that we are approaching the limits of the function”— James Augustus Berens

    SERIES:

    Hierarchy of sympathies:

    1 – condition (empathy – condition sympathy) “i can sense/experience your feelings”

    … 2 – imitation (action sympathy)

    … … 3 – intention ( intention sympathy)

    THE LESSON; Whenever you use a term:

    (a) can you place it in a series, so that you know you aren’t conflating?

    (b) can you narrate how the state you’re describing or naming came into existence? Or are you conflating imagination (fantasy) with possibility(existence).

    (c) are the references to all your terms consistent in existential grammar? Meaning: are they all in operational language, and if not, are they in observational, are if not are they in experiential, and if not, are they in intentional? How do you know you aren’t conflating forms of existence?

    Eli Harman’s Theorem

    (worth repeating … often )

    —“If you would be SOVEREIGN, you must fight. If you would win, you must confederate. If you would confederate, you must compromise. If you would compromise, you must accept limits on your actions. SOVEREIGNTY will be won only by those who desire to exercise it within limits considered reasonable by their peers.”—

  • NATURAL LAW OF SOVEREIGN MEN: DOMESTICATING ANIMAL MAN FOR PEERS AND PROFIT. An

    NATURAL LAW OF SOVEREIGN MEN: DOMESTICATING ANIMAL MAN FOR PEERS AND PROFIT.

    An animal has no agency, only impulse; can enter no contracts, only seize conveniences; can resolve no disputes truthfully, only imagine excuses. It cannot be reasoned with, only bribed or punished. But with bribes and punishments it can be trained. And if training fails, abandoned to the wild, enslaved, imprisoned, or killed.

    We train the animal with property in toto, manners, ethics, morals, and law. We use peers, parents, teachers, sheriffs, police, judges, juries, soldiers, generals and kings.

    The animal can be trained from beast to slave, to serf, to dependent, to freeman, to civilian, to soldier, to aristocracy: human.

    The training requires sentience, awareness, consciousness, reason, knowledge, and agency.

    But each degree of training demands more of the animal, and many – most – cannot complete it, and transcend the animal.

    As such the world is full of a few humans and many domesticated animals of varying degree, and many, many beasts.

    Thankfully, like many domesticatable animals, these animals, once domesticated, can often be put to good use.

    And as such, the beast man, like all other domesticatable beasts, can be domesticated for profit.

    The domestication of man – that occupation we call rule – is the most profitable occupation of all, except for one:

    The success in breeding, and training humans.

    Because while animals are a commodity, producing the rare human is the most profitable industry of all.

    And if it fails, hunting the beast man that remain, is the greatest joy of all.
