  • LOYALTY

    Apr 16, 2020, 9:15 PM (from elsewhere) Very smart fellow and intellectually honest. Pleasure discussing this with you.

    —“When I brought up the religiosity of the US founders I was referring only to a very basic common principle: that morality, and its subgenre of political law, must be grounded in God by a logical necessity (hence the ‘God-given’ ‘inalienable rights’). This is a philosophical truth that Catholicism specifically built into European civ. and consequently handed down to our Protestant and Deist founders”–

    Well, it’s in our law which predates christianity by over two thousand years. Christian: God has given us his son jesus as his prophet, and first among his laws is to live in imitation of jesus and according to his teachings – teachings we call christian morality: to love thy neighbor as thyself, Deist: God has given us the evidence of his hand: the physical laws of nature(the physical sciences), the natural law of reciprocity (morality), the law of christian love (christianity), and the law of evolutionary necessity (transcendence). Scientist: Whether a god exists or not these are the laws evident in the universe: the physical laws of nature(the physical sciences), the natural law of reciprocity (morality), the law of seduction into reciprocity (christianity), and the law of evolutionary necessity (transcendence). The human brain evolved to distribute between feminine and empathic to raise children in small numbers and masculine and systematizing to govern polities in large numbers. Each of us regardless of sex, has a mix of feminine and masculine intuitions. For those of you with more feminine cognition, the empathic is necessary – you must feel the spirituality. For those of us who are in the middle – practical – we must only undrestand that the norm works and imitate it. For those of us who are entirely masculine, we feel nothing, find faith childish, find norms arbitrary, and seek the science in faith and norm – because we cannot feel, we cannot just imitate, we can only calculate. Throughout our history we have practiced Trifunctionalism: The martial aristocracy, the Religion of the Faithful, and the Judicial law to resolve our differences. We have always had three leadership groups: violence, law, and faith. Women and the faithful cannot think as men. Men and the empirical cannot think as women and the faithful. But by obeying the judicial law we can still cooperate despite our thinking. There is no place for truth in faith or it would not be faith. There is no place for faith in truth or it would not be truth. There is no place for violence in either. As such we are left with the law to judge our differences. Men and women can be loyal to one another. Men and women of feminine mind can marry. Men and women of practical mind can marry. Men and women of systematizing mind can marry. And under our law any combination in between – because loyalty is enough. Likewise the faithful, judicial, and martial can be loyal to one another. As we always have been. And both succeed. Or we cannot and both fail. And my name is Caesar so to speak. And my job is the law.

  • Without the Militia Men Will Not Own the Commons.

    Apr 21, 2020, 7:40 AM The problem is getting the rest of the world into middle class manners, ethics, morals, and values. We can only do that if the self, the family, and the commons are equally valued and defended regardless of class. The minute you give up on your other classes you give up on the commons. The same is true for heterogeneity. Create conflict between groups and we give up on the commons, and devolve to self and family.

    —“There are more books published in Spanish in any one year than there have been in the entire history of Arab publishing.”—

    Feminine, present, experiential civilization. There are very few arab intellectuals. Those few, say some version of the same thing “we live in our emotions not in our reason, we can read but we are still illiterate, we have freedom but no discipline.” This is the problem with ritual-cultures. it’s extremely successful at solving the problem of social insecurity (mindfulness). It only solves part of the problem and amplifies the rest by making agency impossible. Same for fundamentalism in christianity: it makes wonderful citizens and families – perhaps the best in the world – and prepares people for commercial society – but at the cost of needing a parental martial empirical aristocracy to defend, rule, and govern them. One of the reasons the french lost to the english was the combination of their effeminacy and excessive faith – the same excessive effeminacy and faith that they demonstrate today. (although you have to read letters from the period prior to agincourt to see how faith-insane they were.) The hindus remain caste-and-family, on the effeminate side, and socially lazy and irresponsible – so they are wonderful people lacking the hostility of the muslims, but can’t end familial corruption endemic in the society, nor do they have the military like the west and china to enforce policy so that a non-corrupt bureaucracy can evolve. I don’t complain about the chinese and koreans other than their women are as spoiled and hyper-consumptive and civilization destroying as western women and their males are further gone than western men because they were further gone in the first place. The upper middle and lower upper classes around the world are all the same. This is because we are not lacking in competitive ability, or dependent upon equally ignorant or uncompetitive peers for information and opinion. Without the militia men WILL NOT OWN THE COMMONS. From there, everything falls apart.

  • health care, elder care, maintenance workers, take back to less ‘sanitary’ commu

    health care, elder care, maintenance workers, take back to less ‘sanitary’ communities where it spreads. (rather obvious in the data).

    Lesson? Restore family care of the elderly. Minimize hospital and doctors visits. Restore ‘house calls’.

    No more ‘cheap’ health care labor.

  • What Is that Shift in The Force so To Speak?

    Apr 21, 2020, 8:13 PM Ok. I can feel ‘a disturbance in the force’ so to speak. What shift is it that I feel going on in the public? Exhaustion with the virus event? What’s going on? -RESPONSES-

    —“Threefold exhaustion most people couldn’t keep up with one facet. The medical face of the virus itself, the economic face of job security, and the conspiratorial face of the sinister mysteries”—Micah Pezdirtz

    That’s it. Let me see if I can elaborate: 1 – The people are addicted to the gated institutional narratives like cows being fed daily lots of hay and corn. They can’t step on the paddle and get their dose of the illusion of running with the herd. 2 – With multiple competing narratives, and exhaustion from all of them, they have lost incentive to do anything other than look elsewhere. 3 – With time at home and limited hyper-consumption they have time for direct experience and self reflection, and as a consequence they are ‘waking up’ to being in the MOUSE UTOPIA. Because that’s what’s been done to them. –BY JOHN MARK– By John Mark Yes.

    1. Normies experiencing loss of trust in authority/”safe” leaders/narratives. “How did it all go so horribly wrong?” Surveys show the left is more afraid of both virus & unemployment. The “blame Trump” narrative still brings the left some comfort (like a kid’s favorite blanket), but fact is the lefty cities are getting hardest hit & they can’t exactly feel their lefty leaders are doing great.

    2. Raw fear/negative emotion opens the door for people to learn/change their minds in a way they will never do outside such a situation. Case in point: 80% of Americans now view immigration as a threat. (That was not the case, not even close, a few months ago.)

    3. The virtue-signal economy collapsed overnight. The entire signaling value of “I love nonwhites, foreigners & immigrants” collapsed completely. China is a crappy place, interactions with & reliance on 3rd world low-trust shitholes have terrible consequences. Even MSM is writing articles on forcing China to pay reparations. The virtue-signalers now have no other way to signal other than to wear masks and report their neighbors for going outside. Which is way more annoying and obviously tyrannical than saying you love immigrants. The virtue-signalers are lost.

    Do not underestimate the importance of this point. The human accounting system is status and cheap virtue-signaling is the easiest way to raise one’s self-sense of status, and one’s status in the eyes of other shallow ignoramuses, who far outnumber truth-speakers (cuz of ’65 immigration act & 19th amendment). These people have had their entire status economy collapse. Think of how we feel – “We’ve been so right all along and everyone is having to kinda admit it, and all sorts of things we wanted for decades are happening!” – but in reverse…”Everything I’ve ever said/signaled I believe & support is falling apart”. And imagine being a low-agency normie or lefty, not accustomed to self-reflection or truth-seeking, possibly never having considered changing your mind on anything important, experiencing this. They feel lost. No ability to just follow the herd headlong, thoughtlessly, anymore. Like one of us right wing family men losing our wife & kids. No compass. Now add the real economy collapsing.

    1. Because lefty political leaders & grassroots just do “oppose Trump” like programmed robots, this leaves the door wide open for Trump to completely OWN the optimism/hope/”let’s re-open the economy” angle. My guess is he’s seeing more & more data come out that tons of people have it & never have symptoms which means the death rate is way lower than originally thought (just as was caught on White House hot muc today), and he’s making a calculated bet that re-opening the economy will not cause a disasterous level of virus cases/deaths. The left’s leaders are stuck being the negative bad news bearers that everyone hopes are wrong. The lefties now are in a position where they hope he’s right, and may have to admit he’s right about re-opening the economy, and already kinda have to admit he’s been right about trade and immigration. Very tough on their psyches. My wife also points out that with the daily press conferences many normies/lefties are seeing him directly, repeatedly, rather than thru the filter of lefty/normie news sources, and for some this is changing their view of him.

    2. As Micah & Curt pointed out, far less distraction. No sportsball. Celebrities seen as out of touch, provoking anger & jealousy quarantined in their expansive mansions with pool etc while millions are stuck in apartments, homes, crowded with kids, etc.

    3. People spending way more time with spouse, kids, homeschooling, etc. Along with the whole situation highlighting “what’s really important”.

    All this is results in MASSIVE COGNITIVE DISSONANCE. And feeling LOST. A result that then follows for many, is a significant amount of mind-changing and attitude/priority-shifting for NPCs/normies most of whom have never gone through it before. (Most of us on the Smart Right have gone thru it multiple times in our lives, of our own volition, as we learn.) I mean, the data shows it. Compare attitudes on immigration before and after. Huge shift. I’m not saying the lefties are all gonna start voting right wing now. But they are reeling. The normies are shifting more right/nationalist out of sheer brick wall of reality slamming the world. Institutional trust is lower than ever (in modern America). Weimar was emerging anyway, now virus (regardless of its actual seriousness as a disease, the govt reaction was very severe, making it a very serious situation). Our leadership’s handling once again ludicrously bad & out of touch & corrupt – “trillions for bankers, $1200 for you!” along with congress shoving pork into it etc. Maddening to normies who normally don’t care much or pay attention. Opportunity. Been slammed at work having to work a ton of extra hrs, but hopefully I can get a video out on it soon.

  • Law Enforcement Be Under P-Law

    Apr 22, 2020, 11:55 AM

    —“How different would the function of law enforcement be under P-law than how it operates in today’s society?”—

    Primary differences are: 1) adopt sheriff public service model rather than police (corporate revenue generation) model, 2) to increase the number of officers in each incident so that force isn’t required 3) coupled with the ability to call large numbers of ‘trained’ citizens (militia) to assist (similar to volunteer fire departments); This increases the chances that someone who knows the individual can talk him or her down. 4) the population would be trained by continuous pubic service announcements on how to react to police officers. 5) Restore more discretion by senior officers, and lower the number of people who are put into the system. In other words ‘make time for human beings’. The acceleration of human behavior into rat-utopia panic is due to alienation, and the consequences. Social pressure and getting attention on one’s ‘ir-reciprocities’ and ‘feeling the social pressure (guilt)’ does not accelerate conflict behavior as does a relationship between an ‘oppressor / opponent / authority” with an officer. Shame is more effective than we think. Which is something we used to know. 6) We would restore all rights of self defense and all OBLIGATIONS to defend the commons: physical, normative, informational, and institutional. Meaning that a lot more criminals would be shot for ‘starter crimes’ – my favorite being porch-thieves, and within a decade behavior would return to ‘normal’. What does this amount to? Restoring the number of people protecting private and common. ORIGINS Where does this come from? Study of dutch british and german police forces, and study of how french citizens are taught to react to police. Source of the problem is distributed us population vs concentrated european population, and associated coverage costs. In effect we are forcing officers into a position where they cannot use numbers to encircle (see italian method) remain calm, and de-escalate, and so must use force to obtain control and bring into the system. The ability to storm someone’s home rather than wait to take them in public is another that needs to be changed. In effect we are trying to be too efficient with expensive officers, and we are paying the cost in increased distrust of the police courts, and political institutions becasue of it. We don’t need wild west sheriffs. We need to encircle, show consideration, de escalate, and if escalation is necessary it’s because there is no other choice, not because of the power ratio between officers and subjects. I can write more but in general, Americans suppress more petty crimes than europeans which is important and why we have nicer suburbs – and we want to keep it that way, and we are better at investigation – esp FBI – than european countries, but they are better at civil policing than americans. We are a more militarized society However, what I’m recommending is that we are a more “MILITIA-ISED” at the local level so that we restore investment in the material, social, political, and informational commons.

  • The Point of Demarcation Is Individual vs Political

    Apr 22, 2020, 2:15 PM There are good people in every group. There are bad people in every group. What matters is whether the good or the bad people in every group advance their, and their group’s interest to integrate into our natural law – or whether they resist integration in to our Natural law; or use resistance movements to seek bribes to conform to our natural law; or seek parasitism by taking advantage of our vulnerability – our tolerance – under our natural law. Our Natural Law is empirical and it tells us we aren’t intolerant enough. If it’s interpersonal then exhaust tolerance (christianity). If it’s political then zero tolerance (Doolittle). It’s not a difficult disambiguation, demarcation, distinction, difference. 😉 Be intolerant. Otherwise you’re committing fraud by not paying to cost of maintaining the commons, under pretense your convenience is a conviction. It’s not. It’s fraud. Be intolerant.
