    THE GOVERNMENT NOT THE COURTS

    —“If in the opinion of the People the distribution or modification of the Constitutional powers be in any particular wrong, let it be corrected by an amendment in the way which the Constitution designates. But let there be no change by usurpation; for though this, in one instance, may be the instrument of good, it is the customary weapon by which free governments are destroyed. The precedent must always greatly overbalance in permanent evil any partial or transient benefit which the use can at any time yield.”—In his farewell address, President George Washington

    TOLERANCE AT COST, OR SUBMISSION BY FREE RIDING?

    Tolerance without limit is not tolerance but submission. Inclusion without limit is not inclusion it is conquest – conquest in exchange for not paying the high cost of protecting subsequent generations as you were protected by prior generations.

    A POLITICAL APHORISM FOR THE AGES

    Political organizations shift the contents of policy portfolios in order to obtain power whether under totalitarian alliances, oligarchical factions, or democratic parties. But the equilibria between the genders and the classes, whereby the top and male attempt to preserve genetic and cultural gains instead of having them regressed to the mean by the bottom and female does not change.

    POLITICAL SCIENCE ISN”T VERY COMPLICATED

    You can reduce a lot of political science to the composition of the army:

    0) raiding bands (everywhere)

    1) militia volunteers(germanic),

    2) professional warriors with militia volunteers(western),

    3) standing semi-professional armies (china),

    4) slave armies (islam).

    The lower that number the higher the trust between members.

    The more members in that high trust order the more widespread the trust.

    Out of the “order of men” all civilization results.

    Out of the geography, all orders of men result.

    The Militia (trained) with Professional Warriors produces the highest trust. And enfranchisement limited to those in the militia.

    The enlightenment conservative was an idealist. The 19th century conservative a utopian. The great war conservatives apologists. The post war conservatives hopeful (in denial). The Current Era conservatives resigned.

    Every generation before us has failed to arrest the second christianization of the west, this time by psuedo-rationalism, pseudoscience and the industrialization of propaganda, all promising equality and prosperity for all.

    We know what abrahamism, multiculturalism, and dysgenic reproduction produce: the middle east’s tribalism and constant decline.

    We have abandoned reasoning and argument. And all that is left is either a controlled dissolution of the continental government, and return to regional differences that kept europe advancing faster than the rest of the world, or a civil war that some of us (myself included) are laying the groundwork for, that will lead to an uncontrolled dissolution of the continental government.

    There is no Western Expansion and the bugaboo of slavery to justify a continental empire over so large a territory with so diverse a people, with such different cultures, and different interests while continuing the pretense that such a thing is ‘good for all’. It is demonstrably not.

    Let a thousand nations bloom.

    THE UTILITY OF ‘RELIGION’

    (ALL)

    I’ve tried to explain over the past few months, that ‘religion’ provides a set of personal, interpersonal, social, and political services necessary for cooperation to ‘scale’.

    I’ve tried to explain that we humans have invented a number of ‘technologies’ for providing those services. And I’ve listed those technologies to demonstrate that non-dishonest (non lies) technologies successfully provide these services.

    I’ve stated that for the personal discipline, original stoicism is best, and original buddhism second best.

    That for personal rituals shintoism (Ancestor ‘celebration’) is best. ( I reject the use of rituals for personal discipline because they enforce stasis rather than adaptation and invention)

    That for political mythology: history, hero, and ancestor ‘celebration’, and teachings on a regular (if not weekly) basis. (continuous reinforcement of heroic individuals and families and clans).

    That holidays, feasts, sports, theatre, music, (and lots of them) are necessary and must be participatory.

    That for ‘spiritual’ religion, nature (universe) celebration, that generates sacredness for earth and commons is necessary.

    None of these things require falsehoods. All of these things either work, or have worked.

    Abrahamism, whether supernatural, pseudo-rational, or pseudoscientific, is the great lie that must be cleansed from the human experience, if we are to transcend.
