    Cultural Observations. Stupid Stuff.

    Last night I was watching a movie where one of the leads was supposedly Russian, but he was obviously a Celt (kelt). And I felt a bit like I was watching someone in blackface: annoyed, disrespectful, and honestly, it harmed suspension of disbelief. There are a lot of tribes among the slavic peoples, and here in Ukraine, while I can’t make them all out – and they are all mixed together with germanic peoples – I can tell Celts from Germans, from Scandinavians, from Poles, from Czechs, from Hungarians, from Slovenians, from the Sythians from the groups with black hair and long heads which I don’t know how to identify (but they scare my genes), from the White Russians, Rus/Ukrainians, Asiatic Russians, from the turkic peoples. But there are others I have no idea where they are from.

    It’s really beautiful. But lets drop the blackface. It’s revolting really.

    I am not into racism or antisemitism. I am critical of every one of the enlightenment grroups for their stuipidity.

    (worth repeating)

    —“I am not interested in anti-semitism. I argue only against the accidental application of jewish in-group ethics and argument structure as pseudoscience in an era where our western extant means of logic and argument at human scale required our retention of european testimonial truth and operationalism because at that time our intellectual problems in all fields exceeded human scale.

    I am not anti semitic. Just the opposite. I’m a compatibilist. I do think the Jewish century is over with, and that it was tragically harmful. If you want to get involved in racism or whatever, that is not what I do. I think it’s always the wrong question. The answer is why you subject yourself to internal political competition, not why other pursue a better life for themselves.

    I do not think Jews understood what they were doing any more than we anglo europeans understood what we were doing, or the germans or the french understood what they were doing. We all just justified what we had done before in the new context in order to maintain group cohesion.

    My effort is to make us understand what happened, and why jewish pseudoscientific thought in all disciplines was so easy to attack western civilization with.”—

    American in-group dating bias is up about 25% or more this year, (or conversely, out-group dating is down) and the spread continues to expand. The exception being Asian women for both white and asian men, and white men in general. The numbers are distorted believe it or not by lower dislike of blacks by whites than dislike of blacks by asians and latinos. I’m getting most of this second and so I haven’t seen the data. And what I suspect, is that the numbers are being driven largely by increases in Latino and Asian populations on the west coast, both of which demonstrate more stratification in mating preferences than whites. But net of the data trend is that we overwhelmingly mate in-group.

    WE NEED ONE HUNDRED

    My job, I think, is to solve the problem of western ethics as an evolutionary strategy, formally, and if possible reduce it to aphorisms. I’ve had very good advice to leave dumbing it down so to speak, to others.

    But I always keep both Einstein and Darwin in mind: for all the people who talk of Einstein, very few understand the central idea in context of the history of ‘thinking’ rather than the history of science. And Darwin to this day is constantly misunderstood even by people who claim to. Relativity(invariance) shouldn’t have been an intellectual problem, and directionlessness (outside of complexity) shouldn’t be either. Science as a discipline is not even understood by philosophers of science.

    As far as I can tell one or two humans define something useful, some small fraction of a percent of people understand it, and talk about it. Some slightly larger fraction of people teach and employ the application of it. And everyone else treats it as a given because someone can demonstrate the application in some way or another.

    When you talk about ethics, and the institutions that enforce ethical action, and the philosophy that defends those propositions, all that matters are the institutions, the few guardians of them, and everyone else runs on Epstein’s ‘Simple Rules’: aphorisms in my case. They have to. They don’t have any other choice. Understanding at any depth is not only impossible for most but unnecessary. Imitation provides what understanding fails to.

    So when I say ‘understanding is overrated’ that’s what I mean. Knowledge of construction is necessary for truth statements, but knowledge of use (application), and the recognition that the conceptual tools work for purposes intended, is all that is POSSIBLE, for all but a few members of a society. I dont confuse understanding with utility, acceptance, or at least non-rejection.

    I just need 100 people (aspie-leaning guys preferably) who can:

    (a) to argue aristocratic egalitarianism as the only possible source of liberty, and the necessity and utility of violence for the construction of good.

    (b) argue in the propertarian method: using economic language to reduce all of ethics to the grammar of voluntary exchanges.

    (c) argue propertarian ethics: the spectrum of free riding, imposed cost and involuntary transfer.

    (d) argue the structures of the family, production, and property rights in the development of trust and reduction of transaction costs, in creating the demand for, or lack of demand for the state.

    (e) at least hobble their way through testimonial truth, operationalism. empiricism, and instrumentalism. The deeper arguments here are fairly difficult I think.

    There are plenty of sub-arguments, but if people can master the (bullshit) of rothbardian drivel, or argue with the (nonsense) of conservative romanticism, or spew the various forms of (lying, deceitful) postmodernism, socialism, and marxism, then arguing the propertarianism instead of errors, fallacies and lies ought to be fairly easy.

  • How Do Family Structures Vary?

    [I]NTERESTING QUESTION: How do family structures vary? The family structure determines: the amount of inbreeding the inheritance system the private property rights that originate with the inheritance system the degree of trust extended to non-family members, with inbreeding producing lower overall trust, and outbreeding higher trust. the degree degree of authority necessary to maintain order (prevent violence in retaliation for unethical and immoral actions.) the level of corruption demonstrated by members of the government, since they are merely members of society in a position to abuse authority. the mobility of labor, since the larger the family structure the harder it is to move it to capital. the economic velocity of the polity (wealth). Conversely increase in family size determines: the degree of alienation and loneliness, since family members treat you almost always better than others will. the stress of raising children, since sharing child rearing across generations is so much easier. The redistribution family members provide each other with. the insurance from the vagaries of the economy and life the demand for the state to provide all of the above in the absence of the family that the state has destroyed in pursuit of economic velocity. LIST OF FAMILY STRUCTURES SMALL HOMOGENEOUS HIGH TRUST PRIVILEGED SOCIETIES CAN TOLERATE HIGHLY REDISTRIBUTIVE GOVERNMENTS STATE FINANCED SINGLE PARENT FAMILY – Medium term and short term pairings with or without a marriage ceremony that produces offspring, whereupon the parents cease cohabitation, and state redistribution finances directly or indirectly the support of the mother’s household. HIGH TRUST SOCIETIES WITH HIGHER ECONOMIC VELOCITY, CAN TOLERATE LIBERTARIAN GOVERNMENTS ABSOLUTE NUCLEAR FAMILY – The “absolute nuclear” family is liberal and non-egalitarian (that is, indifferent to equality). Children are completely free upon adulthood, founding independent families. Inheritance is freely distributed by will. NUCLEAR FAMILY, EGALITARIAN NUCLEAR – The “egalitarian nuclear” family is liberal and egalitarian. Children are completely free upon adulthood, founding independent families. Inheritance is equally distributed, implying at least a vestigial necessary link between parents and children throughout their lives. MEDIUM TRUST MARGINAL SOCIETIES WITH MEDIUM ECONOMIC VELOCITY – REQUIRE SOCIAL DEMOCRATIC GOVERNMENTS EXTENDED FAMILY, STEM FAMILY, AUTHORITARIAN FAMILY – The “stem” family is authoritarian and inegalitarian. Several generations may live under one roof, notably the first-born, who will inherit the entirety of property and family headship (and thus perpetuate the family line). Other children typically leave the home to get married or become priests/soldiers. A family that extends beyond the immediate family, consisting of grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins all living nearby or in the same household. The stem family is sometimes associated with inegalitarian inheritance practices, as in Japan and Korea, but the term has also been used in some contexts to describe a family type where parents live with a married child and his or her spouse and children, but the transfer of land and moveable property is more or less egalitarian. In these cases, the child who cares for the parents usually receives the house in addition to his or her own share of land and moveable property. LOW TRUST, POOR SOCIETIES WITH LOW ECONOMIC VELOCITY – REQUIRE AUTHORITARIAN GOVERNMENTS TRADITIONAL FAMILY, COMMUNITARIAN FAMILY – The “communitarian” family is authoritarian and equal. Several generations live under the same roof until the eldest die and the inheritance is divided equally. HETAERISTIC MONOGAMY – Monogamy with frequent extra marriage sexual relations. PAIRING FAMILY, SERIAL MARRIAGE – Medium term pairing of individuals either in patrilineal or matrilineal property systems. CONSANGUINE FAMILY – three generations of interrelated individuals live together (pre-polynesian) without any prohibition on relations. Property is irrelevant in this system.

  • We Were Wrong And They're Killing Us For It

    WE WERE WRONG AND MANKIND IS COMMITTING GENOCIDE AGAINST US FOR OUR SINS.

    [Y]ou know, I’m chiseling away at correcting the enlightenment. I didn’t realize that’s what I was doing, but thats what, under the chisel, lies inside the stone, ready to emerge.

    – Fallacy of the Anglo Enlightenment – universalism and the aristocracy of everybody – the people of the island. (the navy)

    – The fallacies of the German enlightenment – the verbalist religion of german philosophers – the people of the land. (the armies)

    – The fallacies of the Jewish enlightenment – the new mysticism of verbal pseudoscience – the people without land (the priests)

    – The resistance of the Chinese to the enlightenment – the ruthless defense of power, tribe and family.

    – The resistance of the muslims to the enlightenment – the ruthless defense of the priesthood, tribe and family.

    The enlightenment authors used science to obtain power in an organized attack on the church and monarchy. But the result was that we let loose the barbarians not only in our own culture, but in every culture as well.

    Reproduction Reigns. The family reigns. The tribe Reigns. Universalism is suicide.

    ALL OTHER CULTURES ARE RIGHT TO RESIST US. WE WERE WRONG. AND THEY ARE DESTROYING US FOR IT. WE WERE WRONG. WE ARE STILL WRONG. AND WE ARE DYING BECAUSE WE ARE WRONG.

    We either tell the truth, and demand the truth in exchange, under penalty of violence, or we die.
