Theme: Deception

    We all bring our genetic biases, class biases, cult biases, culture biases, and generational biases with us to the table. It’s a simple technical criticism that the method of argument Moldbug uses is ‘Critique’; that he employs it in the continental narrative structure; and that his answer is consistent with the libertine and technocratic.

    I can articulate the method of opposition or innovation, the structure of the argument, the moral presuppositions of the argument, the group evolutionary strategy in the argument, and the class of the argument for literally every group practicing in western civilization.

    Moldbug argues ‘like jews argue’ (critique: jewish hermeneutic criticism). Hoppe argues “like germans argue” (kantian rational moralism). I argue “like anglos argue” (anglo analytic law). If we had the french here I could show how they do it, or the italians, or the irish…. it doesn’t matter.

    We can’t escape who we are.

    I can tell what ‘cult’ you’re from, from your method of argument. Just as easily as I can tell your heritage by your facial features.

    There is nothing strange here other than some of us are highly particularist and able to do such things, and others are less so and not.

    It’s a skill. Like any other.

  • POSTMODERN, RELIGIOUS, IDEAL, AND OCCULT SPEECH CAN BE DEFLATED AND THE DECEPTIO

    POSTMODERN, RELIGIOUS, IDEAL, AND OCCULT SPEECH CAN BE DEFLATED AND THE DECEPTIONS EXPOSED.

    ***And there is nothing I know of that cannot be communicated scientifically. What we all desperately try to do is frame and load to impress others or to lie to ourselves.***

    —“a knowing by being identical with that which is known.”—

    I don’t understand this sentence as other than a fictionalism.

    Let me see if I can deflate it:

    (a) The word “being” is a filler-word for conflating experience and action, that just like ‘thing’ or ‘stuff’, means the speaker is ignorant of what he speaks or obscuring of what he speaks. The verb to-be means ‘exists as’. So “being” can mean “doing ( something )”, or “experiencing (something)” or “doing (something) and experiencing (something)”.

    (b) I think you mean “pretending (modeling) and sympathizing with a character in order to experience sympathetic feelings or environment”. This is how we imitate all sorts of behaviors.

    (c) I think you are conflating knowing(in memory true or false) and experiencing(at present or not).

    (d) I think that we all collect identities (“I feel, think, and act like a person who thinks feels and acts by these criteria”) both as tools, as goals in pursuit of self image, as standards of measurement, and as self deceptions in lieu of achievement – in order to lie to ourselves about our status.

    (e) I think you are describing nothing other than the usually literary model of Transcendence > Monomyth > Archetype > Plot > Virtues > Assets (property-in-toto) > Status. In other words, role playing a character. When we know that the archetypes map to personality types.

    (f) I think that we can deflate all identities into attempts at acquisition both real and illusory.

    (g) I think there is nothing that you can experience that you cannot communicate without deceit (pretence, fictionalism, lying). And I think attempts to say otherwise are attempts to preserve self deceptions.

    In other words, I have not yet found anything that cannot be converted into scientific language. I have only found people making attempts to preserve deceptions.

    This is what psychologist get paid for: what lie do we tell ourselves and how can we correct it by eliminating the trauma or feeling that prevents us from avoiding it.

    SO TO THOSE WHO CLAIM THEY PURSUE TRUTH AND WISDOM:

    Why is it you need to preserve the lies?

    Because the only answer is, that you are weak or cowardly.

    “In other words, LARPING”

    (How is that for a challenge?)

    THE PAIN OF UNCOMFORTABLE TRUTHS

    You know guys, once you take upon yourself the mission to exterminate falsehood as a means of saving your people and their genome from deception, and then preserving western civilization, with our deflationary truth, high trust and high velocity adaptation, you’re going to have to watch many of your favorite sacred cows die.

    How did Bacon, Copernicus and Newton feel? How did Darwin and Maxwell feel?

    Just because you value something profoundly does not mean it is not harmful to you and your people.

    Man up, so to speak.

    You were not right about anything except the value of western civilization. You were just a little less wrong than everyone else that had been deceived.

    THE FOUR QUESTIONS OF PHILOSOPHY: CURING THE LIES OF ABRAHAMISM

    Metaphysics, Ethics, Politics, Group Evolutionary Strategy.

    The first question of philosophy is “Why do I not commit suicide?”, followed by the second question of philosophy “Why do I not kill you and take your things?”, followed by the third question of philosophy, “Why do I and mine not kill or enslave you and yours and take your things, your women, your land, for our own?”, followed by the fourth question of philosophy “Why do I and mine seek other than sovereignty, and consequently, agency, when there is no more advantageous negotiating position?” These four questions answer the four philosophical categories of Metaphysics, Ethics, Politics, and Group Evolutionary Strategy. Every other line of philosophical reasoning must start from false premises justifying the lack of sovereignty and agency. Once you face these question with intellectual honesty, you will be cured of the lies of Abrahamism.

    Anything we value, we value within limits. Anything we claim to value within any limits has proven to be demonstrably false by our demonstrated preference. All self reporting is false – that’s why psychology has tried to desperately reform, and why sociology is the laughing stock discipline: because it is purely pseudoscientific. As such we’re seeing cognitive science, economics, and law displace sociology just as the sciences displaced theology and philosophy.

  • ON MY CONVERSION TO RADICAL REVOLUTIONARY (answer one for Dagon) There are a cou

    ON MY CONVERSION TO RADICAL REVOLUTIONARY

    (answer one for Dagon)

    There are a couple of things that turned me into a revolutionary.

    The constant lying by leftist politicians via the media. The constant lying by the media. The fact that I was very well read by the time I got to university, and that I felt that most professors were lying or propagandizing. That when I went into the business world, I worked for three companies that lied aggressively to customers (all jewish fwiw). Then when I worked with at least moderately observant christians it was the opposite.

    But it was how I was treated in divorce from a woman who cheated on me, and child support – which I can understand for a year or so but not more so. And I certainly don’t think children or women have a right to previous standards of living. or community property. omg.

    Then how courts said I had to hire people by anything other than merit. And that it was illegal to try to discover people’s merit via testing. And then how women have excessive rights in the work place, and that there is no means of defense against it. And that between false unemployment claims, and false sexual harassment claims, and then the all out impossible requirement that CEO’s understand and are accountable for everything their employees do (the impossible), but employees, bureaucrats, (the irs), police, judges, and politicians are not accountable for anything they do.

    Then how the courts simply punish the hell out of poor white guys, homeowners, and minivan-mom-drivers who are easy targets, but leave us victims of all sorts of criminals because of costs of imprisoning them.

    Then how immigration was used as genocide against my people. I remember what life was like and how it changed, and I know the difference between homogenous and heterogeneous communities and what happens: a reduction in ‘precision’ which accumulates in a reduction of everything that makes a high trust polity possible.

    Then how my people were enslaved through fiat money and incrementally exterminated. It is one thing to use upward redistribution to increase the quality of a polity, and it is another to increase downward in redistribution to reduce the quality of the polity. At least the aryan method of upward redistribution produces transcendence in every possible method. But the jewish (levantine) method of downward redistribution produces regression and dysgenia.

    Then how every merger and acquisition lawyer and venture capitalist would tell me how to do something immoral in business – and that the better the law firm the more corrupting and immoral the legal advice. Compare that to the two ‘very christian’ female lawyers that would not help me defend against them by advocating feminist equalitarianism among share holders. I felt the world had gone mad.

    Then how during the divorce, when I was going in for cancer surgery, the court didn’t care and forced me to settle or delay my surgery until after a trial.

    Then how my ex-wife’s lawyer could use art and artifice through the courts to harass me in ways you cannot imagine to the point where I simply needed to leave the country in order to build a business.

    And how, during the recession why are landlord contracts given higher weight than other price contracts, when they have only debt service, and why is that debt service more important than other commitments when in fact, it’s all simply credit money (time). Why are creditors treated unequally, and not only unequally but the reverse of risk?

    The final blow was two fold 1) when obama criminalized me and thousands of others if we didn’t file a retroactive report on our overseas holdings. Holdings I had paid taxes on. When it was my only defense against the abuse of the courts by my ex-wife’s attorney to harass and blackmail me. And 2) when I had misunderstood a date of the sale of a business and thought the s-corp to c-corp change was done prior to the sale rather than after. While the IRS owed me a quarter of a million dollars refund because of the difference, they froze every asset I had on the globe and nearly destroyed by business and stranded me in a third world country without any money. Yet they told me I had no right of judicial defense unless I would go through a single court in person in california. I ask what was the maximum they could imagine I owed the IRS if I was wrong, and they said no more than 125k, (even though they owed me 250k), I said if they unfroze my assets or simply took 125k, I would send them the 125K, and then, we could correct the paperwork later. But no. So some lower middle class bimbo ex-bill collector can destroy my life without judicial review. And then disappeared for four weeks of government christmas holiday, leaving me no ability to act. Thankfully I had loan due from a small business of 50k, and that carried me for the three months it took to correct it. The truth is none of our irs collections make any difference. Our use of fiat money means that the timeliness of such payments is all but irrelevant. It’s all just power playing on the part of the govt and the bureaucracy.

    I left that experience with a lot less hair and an absolute determination to overthrow the current order and restore the constitution of natural law under which no discretionary action is possible without juridical defense, and where the citizen not the government is given the full benefit of the doubt.

    So instead of trying to simply produce the missing ‘bible of western civilization’: natural law, I developed a broader plan, and I’ve been working toward that plan, every single waking hour of every single day. And the opportunity to execute that plan is coming closer every day. And I am nothing if not painfully thorough, painfully disciplined, and painfully committed to that plan.

    So that incremental unjust tyranny is the reason I became a hostile revolutionary with endless conviction.
