    ( see. the right would go nowhere after the election, whereas we could have had a revolution with her election. so the question is whether we are buying time, or losing momentum. the economy is looking very kindly at trump right now. )

  • How Would You Restructure The United States?

    The current conflict is occurring because the regions have matured from settled territories into genetically, culturally, economically, separate nations, each of which resists the genetic, cultural, and economic differences of the others. In other words, the federal government is a domestic empire as well as a global empire.

    People don’t like empires. For good reason.

    The solution is:

    1. Universal right of secession and confederation on a county by county basis. Universal right of association and disassociation on an individual basis.
    2. County-by-county choice of political affiliation with bordering counties, to form new regions. The result will look something along the lines of the Nine or Eleven Nations of North America, with the six (large) immigrant cities as island plantations amidst the rest of the territories.
    3. Devolution of the powers of the federal government by limiting them only to Insurer of last Resort: Military, Common Treasury, Disaster Relief, Judge of Material Property conflict.
    4. Reservation of the powers not specifically granted to the insurer of last resort to the regions – specifically property and contract.
    5. Reservation of the powers of individual,interpersonal, family, labor to the county – specifically education, norms, holidays, traditions and information – to the county.

    This will accomplish:

    1. The division of the continental united states into a european -style polity with different cultures and norms, but who are protected by a large and powerful military.
    2. It will end the era of USA imperialism world wide.
    3. And it will create the greatest economic boom and the greatest level of experimentation since the enlightenment.
    4. And we can stop hating each other.

    THE FOUR HORSEMEN OF THE RECONSTRUCTION

    1) Jordan Peterson: Meaning (Opportunity generation)

    2) Jonathan Haidt: Causation (Moral division of labor)

    3) Curt Doolittle: Decidability (Natural Law)

    4) Taleb: Measurement (‘Science’)

    FYI: Let’s take notice that I have the lousy job of saying ‘no’ – no one is ever going to like me for that. Haidt has the better job of saying ‘why’. Peterson has the best job of saying ‘how’. And Taleb has the hard job of trying to quantify the information necessary to change categorical state when we lack the data that will be produced by AI’s necessary to develop a testable unit of measure.

  • How Will The United States Look In 2027?

    We will be entering a period of civil war with the conflict over how to devolve into regional nation states while preserving the military and social security apparatus.

  • What Is The Military Intelligence Unit Within The Pentagon That Specifically Works To Create Plans For Hypothetical Conflicts With All Other Nations?

    In order to be able to respond quickly to unforeseen or unlikely circumstances, all countries with substantial militaries possess a General Staff. A General Staff is not an intelligence unit. The purpose of a General Staff is to envision scenarios, create plans for handling them, and to file them in case they might be needed. The more ‘creative’ and unlikely the plan the better. It consumes inputs and makes requests of intelligence services. These plans are updated regularly and discarded if they no longer make any sense. For example, Norman Schwartzkopf had written a plan for Desert Storm, and they pulled it out. More recently, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and capture of Crimea was the result of previously made plans. Countries have absurd numbers of them.

    The government also conducts ‘war games’ (Or did back when I was involved) where they invite you and a few others to role play various scenarios. Sometimes they are testing these plans or considering new ones.

    Most of the “whacky” reporting you hear about some “plan” originates in one of these ‘unlikely’ plans. And while ‘odd’ it is exceptionally good training for top talent. Particularly for the USA because the USA has such a logistics problem – the USA is an island. Getting weapons, people, and supplies off the island and to a location is hard and expensive work.
