ONLINE DEBATE: FRUSTRATION TO IMPROVE EDUCATION
—“I’m pretty sure debating leftist idiots online is just an exposure to pointless risk and a waste of time.”— a friend
You’re just exercising and thereby improving your skills. That’s the only value of debate: exercise your skills against the enemy in order to improve your educational skills with your allies.

What does that have to do with my question and criticism. So what does that mean we can construct and teach? Anything we want to? Anything WHO chooses to? Regardless of correspondence with reality? At what consequence?

12) so the question is, why is it that the anglos and scandinavians retain western truth, germans resist restoring it to german, french have abandoned it at least in parisian education, and the jews and muslims have done everything in their intellectual and cultural power…

WELL, GOT ANOTHER COURSE IN THE QUEUE
Seems (crossed fingers) I’ve managed to recruit someone very good (who shall be unnamed until we are ready) to do the presentation work on the history and uniqueness of western civilization.
This course will be a combination of Duchesne, Huntington, Fukuyama, my own work, and bits from a few others. And it will be emphatically elitist, eurocentric, and nationalistic.

“GETTING IT- IT’S MOSTLY THE GRAMMARS”
by A Friend.
Hey! I thought about what made it ‘click’ for me.
Here’s the result:
“Let me try to identify things that would have made it faster:
1) Vocabulary. That would have been the biggest barrier to entry for me. What is fictionalism? What is operationalism? Largely graspable. Once this is clear I don’t see anything blocking the understand of the grammars.
2) I should have focused less on your facebook posts (until I got the grammars). I think I should have went straight to the website and find the Core of propertarianism. I avoided the core too much. I’m high on openness so the posts are pretty cool because there is so much to unpack and to learn from, and I could just dive inside. It’s nice to have something to grapple my mind with that can last longer that a few weeks.
3) Writing about it and isolating the core earlier (I think going to the overview that Eli Harman put out helped). So I started to say “I need to identify the Core and write about the definitions of the concepts in the core to really appropriate them as my own”. To do that I isolated mainly testimonialism and the tests of consistency.
4) I saw a post on the website about natural law and stating basically how you should talk and the vocabulary to use. That subject was didn’t take me very long by comparison.
To summarize, it would have been way faster for me to say:
*Here are the key concepts (fictionalism, operationalism, testimonialism, the tests of consistency). Here are the definitions of this terms. Here is what you can do with it. Here is how you can do it (the grammars).
Go in the world and use it.*
I couldn’t understand it when you said, “it is taking so long to look through everything again”. Now, I’m like “Ooooooh shit. Okay. I get it. I get how big this project is if you need to look at everything. Damn. Good job man.”
Now I also understand that you use this Grammar and Vocabulary, and then you test what results they produce on facebook. You experiment with them on facebook.
BIG LESSON
***I think if I would have understand how important are the grammars, I would have gone straight for it until I got it. Then it is a matter of investing the time to apply it.***”

See http://propertarianism.com/basic-concepts/
See http://propertarianism.com/blog/
if you understand libertarianism, see harman’s introduction, which is much easier to understand.
https://propertarianism.com/2018/10/28/propertarianism-for-for-libertarians/ Courses coming soon but it’s university level work and that might not be something of interest.

John. Tilting and idiot-windmills is not as valuable as educating those who desire it. You have more influence than anyone else already and it’s not worth debating with the children.

THE FUTURE OF EDUCATION
You know, we taught Propertarianism (social science), Economics (micro, human, and macro), and Stoicism (mental fitness), and Fighting (physical fitness and war) then it would be possible to read Spengler, Nietzsche, and Hegel (not kant), without doing harm along with the good. Not sure yet about any of the others. The difference between the anglo scientific and german experiential is almost as vast as between the german experiential, russian spiritual, and the semitic supernatural. The problem is, that accessibility to anglo-scandinavians, continentals, orthodoxy, and semitism increases along that spectrum. Once we have the criticism of religion, abrahamism, sophisms and sentimentalisms written down as a science, they become nothing more than a spectrum of literature just like science, history, biography, novel, myth, and parable.
I mean I know that my distaste for continental thought has declined rapidly with my increase in articulate criticism of nonsense-religion and abrahamism.
I assume this would serve as a subconscious reaction by everyone educated.
We saw the same thing with empiricism and the scientific revolution that we are seeing with the biological and computer science revolution.
As I said in the past, I am pretty sure the leap in cognitive ability of the average person under Propertarianism would be as large as the leap of the average person under sciences.
in other words we might be able to DRAMATICALLY SHIFT the demographic burden of demonstrated intelligence.

ALL ELSE IS TRAINING, REPAIR, SUPPRESSION
But here is the thing: Western man had no need of mindfulness because of his ‘order’. That stoicism[1] can provide mindfulness to those who lack that order is a solution to a problem. However, there is no substitute for a initiation in group of warriors (pack), and ritual thanks to a king, one another, ancestors, and nature.
Everything else is education(training), therapy(repair), medication(suppression)
[1] Stoicism = CBT = Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Coming nicely although this month I’m working on the Institute site, and creating content for classes -and fussing through some finer points of religion. Much easier to teach the material in classroom than write it, and I think the optimum is class then book.
