TALEB, WOMEN, AND THE CATHEDRAL Taleb’s early books are an effort to feed his ego (self image) His later works are an effort to defend his ego (self image). He made a career popularizing mandelbrot. He DID successfully restore ‘whatever doesn’t kill you only serves to make you stronger” as anti-fragility to the popular will but was unsuccessful in turning it into political policy or mandate – because it is contrary to female instinct and females control both the vote, consumer spending, the academy revenues. So females control the cathedral complex: state, academy, advertising, marketing, consumption, and males control military, finance, and production which services them. Which has led to this problem. As I remind us constantly – everything is institutions and incentives, and incentives always boil down to reproductive strategy, from which the rest of life is merely an exaggerated representation.

More on Lying
—“What is the argument against selfish lying if it serves my self interest, assuming the majority of people don’t lie to burst the language bubble.”– Gyeff @Gyeff
SPECTRUMTransparent Lies – Signal Conformity White Lies – provide comfort to the psyche Grey Lies – protect from consequences of accident, impropriety, or folly Black Lies – Pursue gains by means of deceit Evil Lies – Pursue harm for the sake of harm. People are amoral, and immoral or moral as suits their interests. People conspire ie, cheat, steal, harm and murder as suits their interests.We have just worked very hard to create institutions such that it doesn’t suit their interests. Lying is one of the hardest crimes to limit… …because we continually shift techniques such that we need only raise the cost of truth discovery by creating ambiguity such that lie is indistinguishable from ignorance, error, or natural limitations in judgement and prediction. As such only westerners have succeeded in such suppression of falsehood, that we are able to produce high trust commons, and the means by which we evolved that tradition is almost impossible to replicate without intentionally designing a legal system for it (which I did.) So like manythings, truth telling is just a tax. Truth Before Face, Before Gain, Before All, regardless of impact to the competence-dominance hierarchy is uniquely western. But it is the primary reason for our sovereignty, liberty, freedom, prosperity, and dominion over nature.

Libertarian Means ‘Useful Idiot”
PLEASE STOP BEING A USEFUL IDIOT ON BEHALF OF THE LEFT: LIBERTARIAN MEANS ‘USEFUL IDIOT”
—“For me the last part best manifests itself within the ideas of libertarianism.”—psionin @psionin
Libertarianism is just common property marxism. So “For me” means you don’t understand that the only source of Sovereignty, Liberty, Freedom and Prosperity is rule of law, producing markets for everything, including commons, or what we call ‘government’. Rothbardians turned ‘libertarianism’ from Classical Liberalism under Rule of Law to Ghetto Ethics of diasporic peoples having no, and taking no, responsibility for commons. It’s just common property parasitism rather than private property parasitism. So Rothbardians destroyed the term liberty as the left destroyed the term liberal. Either we have a militia in which every man holding the franchise defends rule of law under sovereignty and reciprocity, and produces commons necessary for survival of the polity – or not. If not, then the polity cannot survive competition in the market for territories, population and social, economic, and political order. Which is why there are no libertarian polities, and never will be. Libertarianism is just demand for a commune of private rather than common property at best, or an excuse to fool high trust european peoples into hosting parasitic peoples who specialize in profit from baiting into moral hazard, under the pretense of doing no harm. So please stop being a useful idiot. I use Sovereigntarian, or rule of law of reciprocity, or rule of law monarchy, or classical liberal. Libertarian in the hayekian sense means Classical Liberalism. Libertarianism in the Rothbardian sense just means “useful idiot”. Edit OCTOBER 5

John Mark Explains My Position on Christianity
JOHN MARK EXPLAINS MY POSITION ON CHRISTIANITY (core)(important) To John’s Thoughts, I’ll add this:
- SUPPRESSION OF FALSEHOOD AND ITS CONSEQUENCES – My work has a nearly single minded objective, and that ending lying in public speech. So, I’m not complaining about just christianity, but the falsehoods by which the abrahamic religions are constructed, the means of conveying those falsehoods, the consequences of teaching christians how to lie using the abrahamic method, and the consequences of christians lying using the abrahamic method, that makes the entire polity vulnerable to marxist, feminine, postmodern pseudoscience, sophism and denial, just as christianity judaism and islam were spread by supernaturalism, sophism, and denial of reality. As such my objective is the opposite of Augustine and Aquinas, which is to integrate greek reason into christianity on supernatural terms, and instead integrate christianity into western science and reason on scientific terms.
A POLITICAL RELIGION – Christianity, when expressed in secular scientific terms, is in fact an optimum SOCIAL and adequate PERSONAL religion even if it is not an optimum POLITICAL religion -which is why it failed to achieve what islam and judaism did, and why it has declined rapidly in the modern era. My goal is to license political religion so that we cannot be undermined again.
RESTORING A STATE RELIGION TO EXLUDE OTHERS – I’m trying to discover a way to make christianity a state religion by converting it to secular terms – this is possible because christianity and only christianity among the abrahamic religions is compatible with natural law. Christians despise the fact that the lessons of christianity in scientific terms, are optimum strategies for social cooperation at least at interpersonal scale. Because the magic and ‘woo woo’ is lost by doing so restoring dependence upon reason, instead of allowing us to fall into pacifist intuition where we can abandon reason. (which is why religions work to sedate humans.) So over the long term I work to produce a christian law that is inviolate, like sharia, so to speak, from the natural law, and the christian extension of the natural law, by the exhaustion of forgiveness before retaliation or prosecution.
RESTORING THE BALANCE OF POWERS – If I can convert Christianity to secular terms I can restore the church as the political agency responsible for the individual and family, limiting the government to the material, and restore competition between family-church and commerce-government, and military-state. It is this division and competition i’m seeking to restore. (I don’t tell you these things because they taint the audience by letting them know my purposes. I only explain afterward, so that my attacks on any given subject make sense in retrospect. In other words, I’m a scientist. I run tests. The public willing to engage in intellectually honest discourse serves as my testing laboratory.)
MULTIPLE CLASSES MULTIPLE RELIGIONS, SAME MESSAGE – All religions are class religions. Westerners practice a personal religion of Jesus (lower), a social religion of christianity (middle), an secular religion of philosophy (upper middle), a political religion of the law and the sciences that extend the law (upper). The Chinese have confucianism, the Dao, and buddhism, nationalism and familialism. Every culture other than judaism and islam have class religions. And we have and need our class religions.
MULTIPLE GENDERS: ADD MASCULINITY TO RELIGION – There are those of us for whom the philosophy of secular christianity – it’s cooperation – is merely valuable, but for whom our ancestors, culture, nation, civilization are more precious than the false promise of an evil semitic god. And so if we categorize heathenry as the thanks to nature not denial of it, and paganism as thanks to heroes of our history, and the archetypes that are non-submissive to nature and heroic in achievement rather than heroic in tolerance. So I am continuing my process of investigation into whether it is possible to unite these scientific, natural, and christian, traditions in a constitution, that prohibits competition by which to undermine them. And whether they can be practiced together or separately. So again, I see myself trying to unite western civilization against further destruction. And I am doing so by the same means as did those great men who came before me, in every great time of change.
THE METHOD TO THE APPARENT MADNESS There is a deep method to the appearance of my madness. Do not assume you grasp what I am doing. Much of what I do requires I maintain your ignorance of what I am doing, in order to ensure I collect quality information from the population. This is how all behavioral science must be conducted. And it’s how I conduct it.

Excerpts for Emphasis by Lucas Cort
Oct 14, 2019, 8:47 PM EXCERPTS FOR EMPHASIS BY LUCAS CORT by Lucas Cort Important parts I’d like to emphasize: “We just were suckered yet again by the marxists into the false dichotomy of unfettered capitalism – monopoly of the middle class, or unfettered socialism – the monopoly of the underclass, rather than the successful european invention of rule of law, an unfettered monopoly of the upper, aristocratic, or martial class that derives its income from suppression of parasitism resulting in commission we call taxation.” “So in the twentieth century we destroyed (a) rule of law of tort, destroyed (b) the limits on reproduction of the underclasses, (c) destroyed the monetary and accounting system, (d) destroyed homogeneity of the population, and (e eliminated the monarchy and created a conflict for access to power to circumvent the market and obtain privileges and rents by the state, and (f) ended the prohibition on libel, slander, duel, hanging, fighting, civic defense and policing – all in order to accommodate those peoples not majority middle class (g) ended the family as a system of measurement by which resource consumption was measured.” “At the highest level we can disambiguate government into Rule (decisions), Government (production and administration of commons), Treasury (revenue and expenses), and insurer of last resort (both negative like military and positive like care taking).” “So there is no one static form of government producing the commons necessary for the current conditions, but one rule of law under which the production of commons varies according to the demand for commons. With P-law. we can produce any system of rule, production of commons, treasurer, and insurer of last resort.” “So I proposed a strictly constructed rule of law, with a monarchy as judge of last resort, a cabinet of professionals, subcontracted bureaucracies, houses for the classes and genders randomly selected like juries, requiring property and service, that have right of veto over taxes, fees. In this system no one is insulated from the law, and we create a market for the suppression of parasitism. There is more to it but that’s most of it. “This system scales up and down from authoritarian to redistributive as circumstances permit. “
