  • The Open Society Experiment Failed

    [J]ust like every other cosmopolitan pseudoscience. Just another ideological catastrophe. Sorry Karl Popper. You were just subconsciously hoping to recreate your ancestral home in eastern Europe under the remote and disinterested tsars. The Ancient Slaves. The Medieval Jewish Ghetto. Eastern Europe under the Tzars. Israel defended by American arms and money. And the Fallacy of Crusoe’s Island. Surrounded by the sea. But what does the sea that defends Crusoe’s island represent? It represents the walls of the ancient master’s house defended by master and warriors. It represents the ghetto’s walls defended by the european nobles and knights. It represents the eastern european territories defended by the Tsars and the Polish/Lithuanian Armies. It represents Israel defended by American Navy, Arms, Missiles, and money. Crusoe’s island isn’t the source of a general rule from which we learn the origins of liberty. Crusoe’s island is an exception that proves the rule that a people who cannot pay the high cost of land holding inevitably become a parasite on those who do. Popper’s Open Society is just another attempt by a naturally nomadic people so incapable of land holding that it must be genetic defect, and so trained by the megalomaniacal hatred of others, that they promise the duplicity of an open society while forcing others to pay the cost of hosting them. The philosophy of the jews fails every time. If your people cannot pay the high cost of holding land, you are exporting the cost of your housing onto your host civilization. The Gnostics were right. Jehovah was a babylonian devil. And the jews bought his lies hook line and sinker. The open society has been as catastrophic as Marx’s socialism and communism, the Frankfurt School’s postmodernism, Rawlsian Social democracy, rothbardian libertarianism, and Straussian Neo-Conservatism. There is no free ride. There is no safety in universalism. There is only cooperation by the best to prevent conquest by the rest.

    Had a profound insight today quite by accident, and the framing of government as ‘reproduction’ (commons) and ‘production’ trade.

    I’m trying to identify the ‘false’ metaphpysical value judgements we rely upon in the west.

    one of them is hard to describe – it’s the tendency of people to think they can step off the train of the world and the train of the world keeps going and they can re-board the train when they understand what’s going on. But that’s not true any more than every time we launch a satellite we slow the earth’s rotation a bit. So there is this concept of stasis to the world that is false.

    The other is what we call the time preference theory of interest – but which is an incomplete statement. Man decreases time to produce, he does not increase production.

    another is the concept of the government as a singular entity other than a hierarchy of necessary functions in order to construct two orders: the order of reproduction, and to facilitate that with the order of production.

    The current system of ‘individual’ government conflates all these processes and is constructed for little more than the systematic destruction of the system of reproduction : the family.

    So, I’m going to keep on this for a bit and see if I can find a narrative that wraps all propertarian metaphysics of cooperation (the story or model of how our human world operates) into something comprehensible.

    If I can do that then the problem of telling a story weaving together the rather numerous ideas in propertarianism and testimonialism will be much easier to distribute to others.

    Right now its just too many ideas without a central narrative.

    The central narrative is that we’re destroying the system of reproduction (family and tribe, and nation-state) and creating a corporation (industrializing human reproduction and production) except it looks like it’s counter productive.

    It is transformative, just like war is, or just like the Chinese did. It’s transformative to industrialize great movements. But once the transformation is complete, you are still stuck with returning to survival, reproduction, and production.

    —You don’t perhaps understand that postmodern RALLYING AND SHAMING is what [the alt-right] wants. They’re undermining the Media’s Power to shame.—

    @BBCWorld

    —You do realize that the alt-right is systematically desensitizing westerners to WW2 memes, and that you’re helping?—
