  • THE DISASTER OF OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM by Steve Pender Outsourcing is a symptom of

    THE DISASTER OF OUR EDUCATION SYSTEM

    by Steve Pender

    Outsourcing is a symptom of the diverging of industry and education. Govt schools for decades have wasted 12 years of everyone’s youth not adequately leveraging our productive advantage in machinery and computing, to provide citizens with an education of any marketable value at the end of high school. So everyone goes to college to get marketable skills. But then college, except for some of STEM, stopped providing marketable skills and instead put kids in huge debt. Outsourcing implies that the per capita productive ability per dollar is lower here than in China or Mexico. In most occupations, you get paid more based on producing more. If Americans are not able to produce more to justify higher wages because our educational system failed to leverage our technology advantage, and we aren’t willing to lower wages, but other countries can do both, outsourcing will continue. I lay a large part of this blame on k-12 public schools. What could have been several years, from the age of 12-18, learning trade skills that transfer to an occupation, were instead wasted on social studies, political issues, 3-page essays on trivial details of novels few students even care about, haiku. How was it possible that in the early 1900s, at the taxpayer cost of under $1,000 per student-year (inflation adjusted), a labor force could built cars, ships, trains, radios, TVs, widgets of all kinds, domestically, with only a small fraction of the population having a college degree?

  • RELIGIOUS (INTUITION) TRAINING Time, Institution, Ritual, and Tradition, deperso

    RELIGIOUS (INTUITION) TRAINING

    Time, Institution, Ritual, and Tradition, depersonalize training (education) of the intuitions, such that the resistance we have to being taught by those who we may not know, not understand, disdain, dislike, fear, is circumvented. As such the teachers can be demanding, use false promise, intimidation, and fear to teach to those who are not kin.

    Repeating oaths does its work.

    Repeating parables does its work.

    Creating perception of debts does its work.

    Creating ostracization and inclusion with those oaths, parables, in continuous payment of those debts does its work.

    The question is this:

    What OATHS are True, and Good?

    What PARABLES teach the True and the Good?

    What DEBTS produce the True, and Good?

    What PROMISES of Inclusion, and THREATS of Ostracization produce the True and the Good?

    What FEASTS and FESTIVALS teach reward for all that do so?

    We can disassemble our religion into Oaths, Parables, Debts, Promises and Threats, Feast and Festivals, and in doing so construct a legal system – because that is what it consists of: a law of intuition – and then replace the false and bad with the true and good.

    We can replace submission with pacifism with domestication, submission with non-submission, lack of agency with agency, oath a lie, with oath to our people, transcendence into a lie, with transcendence into the gods we imagine, eternal life in a lie with eternal persistence and recurrence among our people, and Marxism, Postmodernism, Feminism, and the Hatred of White Men with Sovereignty, Reciprocity, Truth, Duty, Natural Law, Voluntary Markets, and Transcendence, with The Love of Our People both male and female.

    No More Lies.

    We Europeanized Christianity from a resistance movement to an excuse for aryanism. And by the twentieth century were shaking off the remains and restoring our aryanism.

    Underneath christian falsehood is merely this:

    EXCELLENCE (Virtue): I proudly display my excellences so that others seek to achieve or exceed them; I seek competition to constantly test and improve myself so I do not weaken;

    SOVEREIGNTY; I grant sovereignty to my kin and demand it;

    TRUTH: I swear to speak no insult and demand it; I speak the truth and demand it; I take nothing not paid for and demand it; Cause no harm without restitution for it;

    DUTY: I insure my people regardless of condition, and demand it; and in doing so leave nothing but voluntary markets of cooperation between sovereign men; and to discipline, enserf, enslave, ostracize or kill those who do otherwise;

    COURAGE: I shall not show fear or cowardice, abandon my brothers, or retreat, and I shall seek to die a good death in the service of my kin, my clan, my tribe and my people.

    LOVE: The eradication of hatred from the human heart;The extension of kinship love to non-kin. The extension of exhaustive forgiveness before punishment, enserfment, enslavement, death, or war; and the commitment to personal acts of charity for those who are in need.

    NATURE: I accept the laws of nature as binding on all of existence; and; I treat nature as sacred and to be contemplated, protected and improved; and; I treat the world as something to transform closer to an Eden in whatever ways I can before I die; and

    SUPREMACY OF MAN: I deny the existence of a supreme being with dominion over the physical laws, and treat all gods, demigods, heroes, saints, figures of history, and ancestors as characters with whom I may speak to in private contemplation in the hope of gaining wisdom and synchronicity from having done so.

    NO MORE LIES.

    WESTERN MAN: SOVEREIGNTY: THE CULT OF NON-SUBMISSION: THE RELIGION OF WHOSE WHO SHALL BE GODS.

    CLASSES IN PROPERTARIANISM: ZOOM+WEBSITE+FB+Discord?

    I would love to run the classes in facebook, but given (a) the lack of voice chat, (b) limited controls, and (b) the ‘challenges’ many users face with banning, it seems safer to operate the classes from the website.

    So I think we’ll use FB for marketing and organizing, the web site for membership, courseware, and discussion. Zoom for the conference video and voice so that I can interact with everyone in as close to the classroom experience as possible. And we will use the discord server for chat.

    We can save the video so that it’s available for those who miss the class, or can’t attend the live discussion.

    It’s easier to run the class from a desktop and drawing pad, but I really prefer standing and using a whiteboard. Especially because I have this wonderful theater and stage to work with here.

    Cheers

    (from elsewhere)

    I dunno, I lived in rural america during the cold war, undermining of the education system, and underclass conquest (civil rights movement). I lived in suburban new england and Boston during the reagan revolution, star wars, and the american restoration. I lived in seattle during the microcomputer boom and the insane wealth it generated. In ukraine during the ukrainian revolution. And it looks like America during the second american civil war. interesting times.

  • IT DOESN’T TAKE 30 YEARS TO SPEAK IN THE NATURAL LAW. IT TAKES AS LONG AS A DEGR

    IT DOESN’T TAKE 30 YEARS TO SPEAK IN THE NATURAL LAW. IT TAKES AS LONG AS A DEGREE IN THE LAW

    —“In 30 years maybe I’ll have Curt’s ability to summarise this well.”—

    Regarding: ( “….No Marxist, postmodern, feminist revolution is possible because the competence structure necessary for the preservation of human standards of living cannot tolerate any other distribution than the Pareto…..”)

    Just to comfort you … it takes four years on average if you try to construct and repeat the arguments. There are people who are faster and take a year or so, but only four so far.

    We have pre-complied many of the arguments. We are in the process of refining them today into Definitions, Series (this>that>that-other), Aphorisms, and Maxisms, (like the quote above) that can be memorized rather than reinvented each time you want to use them.

    So it depends on age (younger is easier), personality (observers, lower agreeableness), and whether you have experience in philosophy of science, programming, economics, and history, so that you either have an existing framework, or so that you are not so ‘addicted’ to analogies and literature that (really) induce a form of ignorance through imprecision.

    Evidence is that if you are drawn to philosophy and theology it might be an impediment – although not always. Philosophy and theology as practiced are a significant part of the problem: fantasy literature.

  • THE INSTITUTE AS A DEGREE ISSUING “INSTITUTION” Regulations in the United States

    THE INSTITUTE AS A DEGREE ISSUING “INSTITUTION”

    Regulations in the United States require only a business license and the payment of taxes, and do not require a business issuing degrees to possess accreditation prior to the conduct of operations. The reason being that the accreditation process takes a long time – usually years – and accrediting an operating organization is less failure prone. That does not mean the criteria for accredited organizations can be ignored, just that the startup costs and time of issuing degrees in the Philosophy of Natural Law (whether in the context of ‘theology’, philosophy, or law. The value of accreditation is that it gives access to student loans, and therefore a broader range of students, a broader range of classes, and a larger pool of professors. There are a great number of advantages to conducting business as a THEOLOGICAL rather than purely academic institution and we are still exploring that choice. This allows us to explicitly require physical, emotional and intellectual training for satisfaction of degree requirements. Furthermore, the positioning of Natural Law as a Religion has additional benefits. So again, we are working through it. Because it is not so much that you would use such a degree for career purposes (any more than any philosophy degree).

    As such we WILL BE ISSUING DEGREES.

    Anyway. More as thoughts evolve on this matter.

  • PETERSON’S FUNCTION IN INTELLECTUAL HISTORY Peterson is a clinical psychologist

    PETERSON’S FUNCTION IN INTELLECTUAL HISTORY

    Peterson is a clinical psychologist (cognitive behavioral therapist), and his research includes the impact of personality traits on individual and group behavior. His work (authorship) is largely an attempt (knowingly or not) to restore Stoicism. He has (successfully) identified the relationship between jungian categories and literary archetypes and uses those narratives just as the priesthood has, to teach therapeutic concepts by suggestion rather than CBT’s direct exposure. (I am less interested in this technique for therapy but an advocate for its use in teaching (pedagogy) in the first place – since universal prevention eliminate most of the need for therapeutic correction.) So he is providing Stoicism without (a) social separatism, and (b) the ‘woo’ factor. Even if he is providing it (c) for therapeutic and self improvement use, rather than (d) a program for restoring western civilization from the INFANTILIZATION MOVEMENT we call marxism-postmodernism-feminism. There is a worldwide demand for Stoicism because we have almost (finally) restored the level of civilization achieved by the late Empire before the Abrahamic Dark Age. And once we understand institutional restoration required until the age of napoleon, and intellectual restoration until the 2000s, that abrahamic dark age was TWICE as devastating as the first: the Bronze Age Collapse.
