    THOUGHTS:

    1) Any entity with which we can cooperate need only observe the principle of non-imposition of costs either directly or through externality, which we institutionalize as property rights. Whether mechanical or biological, natural life or artificial life, cooperation is dependent upon this single principle.

    2) It is certainly true that by analogy the human organism consists of processes that calculate the perpetuation of the organism. that does not influence the principle of cooperation – non-imposition – whatsoever.

    3) Because both evolutionary necessity and the desire to cooperate rather then engage in murder, harm, theft, fraud, free riding, conspiracy, enslavement, conversion, invasion, and war – provide *decidability* by the the same principle of cooperation: the non-imposition of cost.

    4) since we compete and there is no evidence that we will not, then any technological innovation will merely increase the rate of our competition with one another for status, and continue to increase our differences.

    5) The reason liberalism, consumerism, and technological innovation have such influence over our lives is our wealth generated under consumer capitalism. But in a world where few of us are productive, most of us live in dependence, and a minority (Pareto’s 20%) produce and organize production, that means a great number of people must seek status (mating) by means of non-productive signaling. The uncomfortable option of large numbers of young men is one the world has encountered many times in the past, and is the source of all revolutions.

    6) There is very little reason to develop a computer that thinks like us, because we are in a constant battle between pre-property individuals who acquire regardless of cost to others, and cooperating members of a group who do not. And the need to preserve ‘cheaters’ in order to preserve both the moral intuition to cooperate and the moral intuition to punish cheaters. If we can empathize with cheaters we can then cheat. To identify cheaters we must be able to empathize with them. If we were to build a machine with the same method of thinking of man, then it would also, like HAL’s lie, know how to cheat. For this reason the most valuable computers are those that think only with acquisition, property, and voluntary exchange, and like title registries, cannot violate property.

    7) As far as we know, Patriarchy arose with property, when the value of male’s productivity allowed him to control female’s sex affection and reproduction . Females evolved as the property of bands of related males who preyed upon competing males to obtain their females, just as males humans prey(ed) upon competing male’s sheep, goat, cattle, and land. Females evolved gossip to rally and shame males into constraining alphas.

    8) Socialism and Communism are based upon PSEUDOSCIENCE, not rationality. Rationality is weaker than myth over multiple generations. All major religions are supported by rational argument. It is dependent upon superstitious mythology not pseudoscience. Religions function as a means of limiting the government (nobility), and limiting men and women in the society. (Harari misrepresents natural law for what I assume are cultural reasons of interpretation.) The basis of western civilization is natural law of necessity for peaceful cooperation. That is quite different from dependent upon natural order. Laws of Nature(pseudoscience) are different from Natural Law(science), just as Rule by Law(command) is different from Rule of Law(limits on lawmaking). These are precise and technical terms that are abused in the public discourse.

    9) Matriarchal societies constrain inheritance of property to the female line, but as far as we (I) know, they are always ruled by headmen.

    10) Harari tried but he carries his cultural bias by demonstrating asymmetric criticism and praise. But we all do and none of us can escape it. I am as biased by my anglo aristocratic heritage as Kant and Heidegger are by theirs, and Marx and Harari are by theirs. This is due in no small part to the challenge of eliminating dependence for meaning and decidability upon introspective judgement. Harari is advocating universalism of cosmopolitanism (the Jewish enlightenment) just as surely as every single German advocates the German enlightenment, americans advocate Jeffersonian Contractualism. And there are some of us trying desperately trying to transcend the failures of the anglo, french, german, and ashkenazi enlightenments – all of which are simply restatements of their local group evolutionary strategy in universalist terms, by merely secular restatement their mythos. Hence my emphasis on the only universal rule: not how can we cooperate best, but why should we cooperate at all, if predation is preferable? The fist question of ethics is “Why don’t I kill you and take your territory, women and things?” All other positions are deceptive attempts to reason by fraud. And that is just how it is. And that is what separates the west from the rest: we invented ‘truth’ by which we mean ‘scientific objective truth’, testimony regardless of how we feel about it.

    SIGNALING WITH HONOR

    Not stealing, not cheating, not free-riding, not obscurantizing, not rallying and shaming, not lying, and not having to engage in fighting -other than a duel- and not engaging in conspiracy are signals of superiority. Stealing, cheating, free-riding, obscurantizing, rallying and shaming, lying and having to engage fighting – other than as a duel, or engaging in conspiracy – are signals of inferiority. One can survive by either means. But one is demonstrably superior in his abilities if he need not, and demonstrably inferior in his abilities if he must.

  • THE OBJECTIVE ASSESSMENT OF A PEOPLE The purpose of life is not cooperation but

    THE OBJECTIVE ASSESSMENT OF A PEOPLE

    The purpose of life is not cooperation but persistence. Cooperation that is beneficial is rational. Cooperation that empowers enemies is not beneficial. There is no morality between enemies. It exists only between third parties who must decide to insure either party in conflict. And third parties can only determine morality, not by possession, but by which group produces higher trust, superior man.

    It is very hard to argue that the world is better with any of the Arab states vs the Israeli. Otherwise one is forced into the logical argument that all people in all cultures, and all cultures in all nations, are equal, or of equal merit.

    This is not the case. Morality exists between peers. Everything else requires merely objective analysis of the merits of the peoples. This conflicts with the ambitions of inferior peoples. The mongols did no good with their conquests – only evil. The russians only evil. The Chinese largely good.

    So I do not support the postwar consensus any longer. It is a failed theory. The end is that if a people are a problem then they must be ruled by superiors who are not a problem, with the ambition of correcting them such that they develop into a productive people.

    We are not equal. Some people, groups, tribes, nations are devolutionary and harmful. Of the modernizers I tend to see the church as the most benevolent, and the dutch and anglos next, and everyone else fairly distant third. This is probably unpleasant, but as far as I know it is hard to defeat.

    THE WALL OF MEN IS THE ONLY WALL THAT STANDS

    —“Impulsive men cannot be counted upon to hold formation; and it is our fitness, discipline, will, and reason, that compensate for our smaller numbers. It is insufficient to ignore them. So either silence them or end them.”—

    —“Our ancestors were successful in the extirpation of hatred from the european heart. But this is only an extension of our ancient tradition of the subjugation of impulse. Passion, fear, anger and hatred do not make you strong, they make you impulsive, and the impulsive do not reason, and those who do not reason are weak in practice. If one requires courage it is obtained through fitness, discipline, will, reason, planning and training. In the fog of war, or the chaos of the unknown, one’s excitement withers under the grinding of reality. So love your body, your craft of violence, your fellows and your plan, and execute it with discipline, passion and joy.”—

    —“Majority is a weakness. We built Europa first and did so twice, and dragged the world kicking and screaming out of subsistence agrarianism, mysticism, ignorance, disease, and poverty, with small numbers, and limited wealth, with a small alliance of professional warriors, whose honor was proved by constant test of it. As a minority we demonstrate our virtues, and as a majority the cowardly merely pretend to them. The man of pretense is a free rider, and can, should, and must be beaten for his theft. Those few of us who remain transcend our people once again, and yet again drag humanity kicking and screaming into godhood.”—

    —“No wall can defeat insurrection, displacement of a population, conversion by religion, or industrialized weapons. The only wall that stands against insurrection, invasion, conversion, and war, is made of men, with a greater willingness to die to defend their kin, than those who desire to control, displace, convert, or kill them.”—

    —“A warrior is an athlete first, a craftsmen of violence second, a captain of men third, a judge fifth, a strategist fourth, and a philosopher sixth. If you cannot fight, whether you know what to fight for and against has little meaning.”—

    —“Instilling fear in the enemy is an attempt to obtain their compliance at a discount. One can learn not to fear, and one can accumulate courage. So punish your pragmatic men. And defeat your enemy completely. The dead have no will to fight, and no descendants to revenge them.”—

    —“Conquest and rule of inferior external peoples who demonstrate greater parasitism, or inferior internal peoples who demonstrate diminution of your kin is always moral and warranted, and the question is only whether it is affordable and profitable. Conversely, if you demonstrate inferiority by greater parasitism or diminution of your kin, then your conquest, defeat and murder are always moral and warranted. Morality is the measure of rule. Immorality is a license to conquer and rule morally, but not conquer and prey immorally.”—

    —“Cooperation is only virtuous if it advances your kin relative to the kin of others. Otherwise it is an act of bribery on some other’s part, to end you, your kin, and their lineage by ‘boiling the frog’: death by imperceptible increments. It’s genocide by slower means, but it’s genocide none the less. Whether one is a mere frog or imbecile, ignorant man, or selfish man, or hate-filled man, one’s perception of the pace of change of in state of one’s kin is not a fact or of whether or not in fact, a state of change in one’s kin and lineage occurs. “—

    —“The only form of tolerance is the cost of education of those with less knowledge, productivity, and moral virtue, into those who have greater knowledge, productivity, and moral virtue. All other claimed tolerance is merely an attempt to avoid the cost of educating others to possess greater knowledge, productivity, and moral virtue. If you will not pay for the commons which sustains you by policing it, then you can exit it voluntarily, be punished until you exit it or change, or be put to death so you can no longer parasitically prey upon the commons produced by others.”—

    —“Virtues lead to beneficial ends. If they lead to non-beneficial ends, whether now or in the distant future, they are still non-beneficial ends. Consumerism, consumptionism, equalitarianism, open borders, religious pluralism, and democracy are means of conducting a war against a population just as certainly as bombs, guns, swords, arrows, spears, and rocks. If you care not for you kin then you need not worry for you will have none. It is up to those of us who care for our kin to persist, and you who do not, to vanish from the history written in our genes, our technologies, our arts, our myths, and our monuments,”—

    MORE ON MALE AND FEMALE DISTRIBUTIONS: DIVISION OF LABOR

    Just as there are bata males there are alpha women. When I use the terms men/male/males women/female/females, I refer to the difference in distributions. Attractive married women vote red, and single, unattractive and unmarried women vote left. Thats the data.

    And here is another example of ‘women’s logic’: men will intuit that ‘by and large this is true’ women will find the exceptional case and say ‘that isn’t universally true’. But ‘by and large’ does not mean that it is universally true, and an outlier does not determine a general case. But you will find in almost every case some women in the group saying such a profoundly stupid thing.

    Why? Because they evolved to think about children being left behind because they are betas, or women being left behind because they are pregnant, or groups being left behind because they are too young or weak to travel – and that is against their strategy.

    EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY

    When you want to understand human beings, then you look to evolutionary biology. Our minds act on behalf of our genes without any greater knowledge of why or how than we have knowledge of how to move our arms and legs – we just do. Our words justify the intuitions of our minds. Our reason evolved to negotiate cooperation on behalf of our genes. Our genetic differences divide us in to an intertemporal distribution of perception, cognition, knowledge labor and advocacy, and voluntary cooperation is the equals=sign that assists us in finding an average of everyone’s interests.

    NEGOTIATION IN A PERCEPTUAL DIVISION OF LABOR

    Words are mostly nonsense even when we don’t ourselves know they are nonsense. That is why truth matters so significantly. Unlike Kant, I do not claim we cannot know the world. I claim that we must cleans error from our knowledge so we know the difference between what our genes evolved to specialize in seeing, and the entire picture we can see without those specializations.

    PROFOUND INNOVATION

    You may not realize in reading this that it is a profound innovation in philosophical thought, but it is and it will change your life if you grasp it.
