    The search for truthfulness matters sure. The criticism of the century of lies an institutionalized lying matters, sure. The understanding of the causes of our vulnerability to the second great system of lies, matters.

    But what has occurred over this past year, is that we can see light at the end of the tunnel, because the massive Muslim immigration has provided a threat that poverty, disease, war, ideology have not provided since the fall of the rise of Bolshevism and world communism as false promises of alternatives to consumer capitalism.

    But the light we see at the end of the tunnel is provided by nothing more than a single candidate who, while possibly generating a landslide, can likely generate a loss. Europa still fails because of female voting patterns. The Anglosphere still fails because of female voting patterns. Southern Christendom still fails because of female voting patterns.

    We have been ruined by our own women and the men who pander to and profit from them. And that has not changed.

    So while we must fight for incremental political improvement with which to stem the tide, we must also pursue meaningful long term reforms that are not dependent upon majoritarian decisions.

    The only method of change that appears existentially possible is constitutional: restating the terms by which we tolerate the production of commons: that organization we call government.

    The lie that we were oppressed by our nobility, rather than domesticated, and civilized, was the excuse by which the middle and commercial class displaced the landed and warrior classes, and seized the organs of the state for their own interests.

    But this strategy backfired, as it was used by protestants and women first, and jews on the behalf of feminists and minorities second.

    So when we blame the socialists and postmodernists for their lies, we might take care to blame the libertarians and the entire Enlightenment historical narrative.

    Because man was aggressively domesticated by his Aryan and Teutonic masters, and western ascension was due as much to its aggressive eugenic policies under manorialism and drastic criminal punishment as to the rediscovery of greek learning, and the healthy competition between states.

    both socialism and libertarianism are based upon lies.

    So I agree definitions matter, but I agree that words that are not false or deceptive matter than those that are.

    (Its unlikely that I’m mistaken.) Science is a method for what? Speaking truthfully:reducing error, bias, wishfulness, deceit.

    I don’t really understand the difference between:

    A comforting lie that there exists a supernatural being that grants us paradise after death if we obey priests in life.

    A comforting lie that we were and are oppressed and able to achieve whatever we wish in life, rather than that our ancestors were domesticated by the same process as our livestock and for the same reasons.

    The comforting lie that democratic majoritarianism produces prosperity rather than discipline, hard work, nuclear families, and suppression of reproduction by the lower classes produces such prosperity that the luxury of democratic production of commons is an affordable and peaceful way of distributing the spoils.

    A comforting lie that if we pay for papers our sins will be forgiven and we can still gain entrance to paradise after death.

    The comforting lie that representative agents will act in the interests of people whose disparate interests they cannot understand rather than in the interests of rose who helped them obtain a position where they can choose to act in whomever’s interest he chooses.

    A comforting lie that if we pay for a parchment and memorize postmodern scripture that we will socially and economically join the middle or upper middle class.

    The comforting lie that women and men are even vaguely equal in perception ability and interest rather than compatible in a reproductive, productive and perceptive division of labor.

    History is replete with comforting lies.

    All of these lies serve a single purpose: to obtain by fraud that which could be obtained by fully informed productive, warrantied, voluntary exchange, free of negative externality at much higher cost.

    TWEETS: TEACHING HISTORY, LOGIC, GRAMMAR, RHETORIC, TESTIMONY

    The reason we do not teach History, Logic, Grammar, and Rhetoric is so that the left can indoctrinate postmodern propaganda.

    If the reason we enforce education is self-defense, then why not enforce history, grammar, logic, rhetoric in self-defense?

    Enforce the study of history, so that those of us who have studied history, are not the victims of those who haven’t.

    —“Corruption by journalists, the indulgence of wishful thinking, bias, etc. are the major cause of the decline of the West since 1965. As Moldbug pointed out they’re the new clerisy, as intent on all the privilege and none of the responsibility as any fat corrupt abbot in 1788 France. You will warranty your words and give a full account of your proposals, or we will hang you. It’s that simple.”—Con Eli Khan
