  • Like many people, I feel 2016 was one of the worst years of my life – a year mad

    Like many people, I feel 2016 was one of the worst years of my life – a year made bearable only by the gratification of not having to live in a world further influenced by the Clintons and watching the loss of the supreme court. (Albeit one that will be influenced by the Obamas.)

    Not that 2015 or 2014 were that much better: between my government’s immorality and consequential conversion of me from a radical to a revolutionary, and the decline of life Ukraine I had only the progress of my work in philosophy to enjoy. Thankfully I have people who I love and who love me. Without them I would see no point in continuing this journey. (really)

    I added many friends who I care about deeply and appreciate. I learned this year yet again who my friends are and who my friends aren’t. I learned this year yet again that I am too trusting, and that I hang on too long – counting on my own heroism. I learned that Veronika was right: most people just use you.

    I learned that there are enough men of conscience and character in this world that we can alter it for the better if we try. And I learned that despite my fears it will be possible.

    And to mirror the words of my friend Ayelam, I am coming to terms with being a bit insane – and that such insanity is merely the early adoption of a state of mind prior to it’s evolution into a normative state of mind. And that like many men who have come before us, we can be thought mad, foolish, troublesome, or dangerous. And ignored, ridiculed, ostracized, or persecuted.

    I start 2017 with pretty clear objectives: launching the product, creating a course (video classes) for propertarianism, and working to complete the book that now suffers from my need to split my time in three directions at once. I feel I need to make one more heroic effort. But afterward, the dreams (and money) will again flourish, and I can continue the effort of a lifetime.

    Love to all.

    —“Goldwater, Reagan, and conservatives delivered the US into socialism?”—

    It’s more that While Darwin, Spencer, Weber and Durkheim were correct in their reevaluation of man, Mises, Popper, Hayek, Brouwer, Bridgman and many others failed to solve the question of social science, and social pseudoscience of Marx and Keynes was more attractive to enfranchised women, underclasses, and empowering of the political classes.

    Moreover, the scientists having failed, we got Goldwater, Kirk, Buckley, Kristol, and Strauss – whose work can be considered, at best pop-moralizing on the german continental model: attempting to recreate the piety of the church in secular verse.

    And they failed. Their work cannot even be considered pseudoscience. Certainly Strauss can be considered pseudo-rationalism. But Kirk, Buckley and Kristol’s very existence as influencers is an admission of failure of the conservative movement to produce a technological equivalent of leftism.

    And why? Because the truth is incompatible with democracy: The function of western civilization was systematically eugenic. We are very conscious of truth. Our preoccupation with Truth is the reason for our civilizatin’s rapid advancement in the ancient and modern worlds. But the application of truth produces eugenic outcomes. Which is why the left must lie, and the right cannot tell the truth.

    —“An ideology functions, like literature, to inspire individuals to action under democracy. A philosophy provides methods of decidability in order to achieve a desired state of affairs. A formal logic provides language for the testing (criticism) of relations for internal consistency (falsification). A science provides a formal process and instrumentation for the elimination of ignorance, error, bias, and deceit.”— Curt Doolittle, The Propertarian Institute, Kiev, Ukraine.

    We needed a moral license after the world wars, and the false promise of underclass utopia. And we have it now.

    The Anglosphere and the Germania are on suicide watch. It’s Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Ukraine, and their cousins the Hungarians, Czechs, and Romanians, that will either produce the next cultural empire; or it will be the reunification of the anglosphere and germania in combination with the eastern and the russian that will transform mankind.

    IT IS JUST A CHOICE. WILL WE FIGHT. OR WILL WE GO QUIETLY INTO THE NIGHT?

    The Puritans are the result of the failure of protestantism.

    The classical liberals are the result of the failure of the enlightenment.

    We, in our era, are the result of the failure of 20th century philosophers and social sciences to complete the enlightenment, and to unify philosophy, law and science, and return us to Roman and Stoic Realism: Natural Law.

    We didn’t ‘get it’. It wasn’t Aristotle that mattered, as much as the stoics, natural law, and the common law. Everything else was a byproduct of Indo European Sovereignty’s dependence for existence on the empirical, natural, common law.
