  • What is KOTH?

    —“What is KOTH?”—

    How I teach. King Of The Hill Game. It’s debate where I state something by taking some position or other that will illustrate a principle or investigate some angle on it. See: https://propertarianinstitute.com/2018/10/21/answering-criticisms/

  • The Gods of The European Peoples Ask Us to Join Them.

    Feb 11, 2020, 12:58 PM (Pissing me off again.) Religion is the means by which we educate the intution in the group’s social strategy, through storytelling, and ritual, in groups, where we are most open to trust and subject to suspension of disbelief. This technique works just as do feasting, singing, dancing, games, sports, marches, drills, concerts, juries, senates, fireside storytelling, and bedtime stories, and pillow talk. It trains us to feel safe with one another despite our relative anonymity, alienation, and irrelevance to the herd. Never, ever bring faith to court. Never ever bring faith to science. Never ever bring faith to war. Faith is for the shared hallucination produced by sharing a ritual, in which we abandon reason and experience the safety and mindfulness of running with, feasting with, celebrating with, and resting with – the pack. It works. It works because it does not require reason. Instead we try to develop excuses for what it is rational. These are all lies. Faith works because training us in mindfulness in a civilization so alienating by sheer numbers anonymity, and division of labor and power distance we must find some way of liberating the mind from trying to calculate a relaxed, comfortable, safe, secure, successful, method of cooperating with others by means of IMITATION (training). Just like we teach a dog to walk with us peacefully. It’s no different. We are just another mammal. And the more ‘sensitive you are’ and the more ‘threatened you are’ the more you require this mindfulness. Never ever ever confuse faith(wisdom) with truth(testimony). We have at least three competing priesthoods: the scientific(material-physical) and legal(social and political-intellectual), and the spiritual(personal-emotional). There can be no right to falsehood in the material or rational. And It is right to criticize christians who invade the material or political with the spiritual. It is right to criticize the law for invading the spiritual. Christianity was semitic religion of semitic people for a very long time before it was forced upon Rome, and the christians destroyed by intent, and by design, all knowledge, all temples, all civic life, all education, as a means of preventing the restoration of aristocracy, reason, and agency, for the same reason the french, germans, and jews have resisted the British restoration of aristocracy, reason, and agency. Christians imposed submission(ignorance) upon the Cult of Non Submission (agency). There is no difference between judaism christianity and islam, in the destruction of the ancient world, and judaism marxism, postmodernism, feminism, and denialism in the present world. It is the same technique of undermining masculine aristocratic, meritocratic, heroic, military civilization by undermining with false promise using the addiction of mindfuless and false status. We domesticated christianity from a sick twisted deceitful corrupt semitic attempt to destroy western civlization and keep it in subjective ignorant semitic poverty. To domesticate it took a more than thousand years, and four great wars, and millions of dead. and we have still not escaped judaism and islam. That there is some good in christianity is true – because there is some good in all escapist religions. To say that it was not the worst plague against western civlization is simply false. So, you want to ‘socially construct a supernatural fantasy world over which you believe you have comprehension and control’ Just like the marxists, and postmodernists want to construct a pseudoscientific fantasy world over which they believe they have comprehension and control.’ The concept of postmodern ‘social construction’ is just the abrahamic technique stated in descriptive terms. There is no difference between stating women are equal to men, poverty is escapable in equality, and there is an omniscient and omnipotent supercreature. These are just stories for teaching children, that you have not grown out of. Never ever come before the court with faith. And we will not come before the faith with court. You have chosen childhood. We have chosen parenthood. You must be ruled. Do you understand yet? Don’t waste my time. Go fundamentalist if you must submit, go catholic for natural law and the pretense of reason, orthodoxy is best because it is apolitical, and strong – or join the rest of us in restoring our natural religion of aryanism, paganism, heathenism – with a nod to the nazarene’s request for love of the weak – in the love of nature, of our ancestors, of our heroes, and take on the challenge of transcending man into gods, through the continuous production of agency, through continuous competition, by continuous trial and error, in the face of ignorance and uncertainty. You may follow our transcendence. But you may not interfere with it. That is the purpose of the enemy. The gods of the european peoples ask us to join them. The god of abraham is the devil to keep us from it. That is the evidence.

    —“Not sure why [censored] JFG, would bring up Manhattan distance something which he clearly doesn’t understand. You were correct in – and multiple times caught him cascading off to some absurdity, as he did against M.”—Hans Hermeme Hoppe @LLaddon

    I like JFG for many personal reasons, but he is an “opiner” (commentator), and entertainer, not a public intellectual (scholar, thought leader, idea generator), and that is one of the reasons his followers are attracted to him – that he speaks to them in their voice (I dont). You can try to nudge an opiner and the audience a bit but you can’t really educate them. And thinking about the big questions is hard enough, discussing them with those who don’t or can’t is far harder, and in my case also trying to get people to think in systems is impossible. I’m sure JF is a good researcher, but the purpose of learning philosophy is developing a skill in how not to err. After that you need to know enough fields not to err. Knowing math, physics, cog sci, economics, law, and history is hard. … So people rarely learn not to err. And we all defend our investments. Because our conceptual investments – especially if they are error loaded – form a map of the conceptual world we cannot travel through life without. So loss aversion kicks in and we defend our priors.

  • Career Advice for Men

    Apr 1, 2020, 12:45 PM

    —“As a successful entrepreneur would you mind sharing some career advice with me? Do you advise more of a focus on technical knowledge such as computer science or soft skills and selling?”—

    One lesson for every main in the world:

    -“Every man must learn or trade or else eventually become a scoundrel”– Spinoza.

    Always Always Always Learn a technical trade FIRST. In the most difficult field you can manage. The Trades, Engineering, Sciences, or Law. The source of the training or degree doesn’t matter after the first three years. Just create a record of sticking with a job for two years and then upgrading if you need to. Then after your first four to six years get the best you can. It makes no sense to try for google-facebook-apple unless you are in the top .1%. These are ridiculous outliers. Instead, the world is full of opportunities to master your field. The general career progression is Trade > Project Management > Sales > Contracts > Accounting-Finance > Executive > Marketing > Entrepreneur > CEO > Capital Raising > Diversification of Investments > Investor. Always, always, always try to follow that path to the best of your ability. Get the training you need to get a job. Work hard at learning the job as much as accomplishing it while you are young and have strength and energy. Always always always, make sure if you’re in a trade that you have paid off your house before you’re 35. This means it doesn’t matter what happens to your body after 40. Your demand is lower.
