    NO, WE CAN’T ALL JUST ‘GET ALONG’ (GLOBALLY)
    Nice thinking though.
    (a) The rest of the planet is low trust, so it wants benevolent authoritarianism and certainty to compensate for low trust of one another – and they do NOT want our political ‘doing laundry in public’ adversarial democracy – at all. None of it.
    (b) The remaining agrarian empires resist our suppression of their aggression (Russia, China, MENA/Iran). This prevents them from continuing their parasitism upon their people.
    (c) The whole world wants us to stop exporting ‘liberalism’ which is reducible to a warfare on the primacy of the family by the advocacy of decadence and hedonism. (Most of us here don’t want it either.)
    (d) They’ve already accepted consumer capitalism. The whole world has begun to understand incentives and the necessity of prices.
    (e) But we sold them democracy that’s irrelevant instead of rule of law by the natural law that’s not.
    (f) Democracy isn’t a good. It is only a temporary luxury that results from the successful implementation of rule of law by a large enough middle class to create a sustainable economy and middle-class rule.

  • The problem with creating a revolution, even if it is one of constitutional rest

    The problem with creating a revolution, even if it is one of constitutional restoration, and the restoration of natural law of cooperation, is not making those who you must live with afterward, more desirous of killing you than the government they barely tolerated in the first place.

    I want to win without anyone firing a shot.
    If it gets to skull pyramids that just means I’ve failed.
    (Even if some part of me, at certain times, prefers skull pyramids. 😉 )

    WHY RELY ON PHILOSOPHY AND THEOLOGY (NONSENSE)?

    Now, I have a rather deep question for y’all?

    Why, if simulation, computation, operational logic of causality, the laws of cooperation, the laws of the universe they evolved from, the science of producing testimony that assists us… https://twitter.com/curtdoolittle/status/1637910086780612609

    Q: IS A TRUE, ETHICAL, MORAL, AND “GOOD” RELIGION POSSIBLE?
    If we made a ‘religion’ of laws of nature, natural law of cooperation, our intergenerational debts to nature, heroes, ancestors(archetypes), civilization(traditions and institutions), and to one another (civil society), and stoic discipline (cognitive behavioral training), and where those laws are a standard of weights and measures, and our debts were weights and measure of our behaviors, then how would that religion vary from teaching all of us the truth of the universe, man, and civilization, and how to function optimally in it? Isn’t social repetition of oath and ritual but testimony and promise that we will limit ourselves to that which is mutually beneficial? It sure appears that a true, ethical, moral, and good religion is possible. But those who practice false, unethical, immoral, and not-good religions will resist – of course. Because they don’t know that their religions are false, unethical, immoral, and not=good. Yet they are addicted to them because it is how they intuit the right and wrong of their own behaviors. And they fear doing differently.

  • My worldview is that despite the problems of differences in demographic distribu

    My worldview is that despite the problems of differences in demographic distributions it is possible to decrease divergence from the laws of nature (physical, behavioral, evolutionary and the logical to describe them) and in doing so prevent elites from lying to the public in public about matters public, thus over decades and centuries driving us all to smithian cooperation and driving out imperialism that deprives people of self determination by self determined means. In other words, I do the science of cooperation and all ‘myths, legends, false promises, frauds, and lies’ must be purged from mankind in order to make us all at least relatively equally prosperous and fulfilled.

    This means slaying sacred cows as well as cherished falsehoods.

    So my work is reducible to the extension of fraud in commerce to politics.

    The ‘science’ required to do that was just more than any previous generation of thinkers could accomplish. For the simple reason that the knowledge didn’t exist.

    That’s really my goal.
