AS FAR AS I KNOW THIS IS THE DEFINITIVE ANALYSIS OF THE CHURCH
1) The church served as a wealthy but weak professional administrative branch of government.
2) The church could grant moral authority to nobility and monarchy, or revoke it. Meaning that if revoked, your lands were marked for conquest by others.
3) The central tenet of christianity is the extension of kinship love to non-kin, breaking familial and tribal bonds. This is the only meaningful principle. It also happens to intuitively reflect hunter gatherer ethics and morality.
4) The church was able to legally enforce this policy by the prohibition on cousin marriage, and the grant of property rights to women.
5) While the church pursued these policies purely out of self interest: the removal of competition to the church as government, and the cheaper acquisition of lands, the net effect was to restore order to Celtica after the Roman destruction of Celtic Civilization and the impact of the migration period, and to provide sufficient administrative support that Saxon (north sea hanseatic) civilization could evolve into what we think of as Protestant Europe.
There is nothing valuable at all in the literature. It is mere nonsense. The ‘good’ outcomes were the product of one principle ‘love’ and one institution: property rights under the common saxon law, administered by literate if ignorant clerks.
Rome created a false history of european barbarism. The church, starting with Bede, has been successful in authoring a false history of Europe. Just as the “democratic era’ has authored a false history of europe. Just as americans are being taught a false history of europe. Economic history tells us differently.
Aristocracy, sovereignty and Militita, Rule of Law, the common law of property, Extra-kinship love and high trust.
These institutions produce the lowest transaction costs, and therefore highest possible economic velocity humans are capable of.

ITS ABOUT LYING BY RUSSIANS AND UTOPIANISM BY AMERICANS
I don’t disagree with Russian strategy in the sense that more civilized peoples should both protect themselves from less civilized people, support strong rulers if they must, rule them if they must, and reduce them to servitude or barbarism if they must.
I disagree that Russians are more civilized than eastern europeans – they’re objectively not: the degree of suppression of free riding (imposed cost, parasitism) is the objective measure of the inferiority or superiority of any people.) By this measure Russians regress civil societies.
And even more, I disagree with their constant lying about themselves, and what they’re doing. Lying is not a sign of strength. It is an admission of weakness. It is an admission of failure. The strong need not lie.
If Russians came out and said the truth: that they are surrounded on the south and east by vast numbers of barbarians even less civilized than themselves, and that they must either rule them or parent them into modernity, then most of us would agree with them – it’s just true by every single objective measure. I don’t understand why Russians shouldn’t parent their neighbors into modernity or at least contain them through strong rule.
If they came out and said the truth: that western democracy has handed over civilization to barbarians both old and new, due largely to the destructive impulses of women, then that also would be true. If they came out and said that they must create a diverse economy, increase their native population, expand rule of law and crush corruption, and that they need oil revenues captured by the state to do so, we would understand.
But, they lie. If Russians are really strong and brave and in the right. then why are all the lies necessary? Because they know the opposite is true: Russia is weak, has always been weak, and Moscow has overstretched its capabilities beyond those of its population, economy, and institutions – just like the Mongols did. Russians still are the product of mongol invasion. They never developed a militia, a middle class, professional managers, chivalry, rule of law, or the enlightenment, or the dream of an aristocracy of everyone.
Conversely, westerner’s don’t lie you know. We vary from the Continentally optimistic, to the anglo idealistic, to the american christian utopian. Americans actually believe their utopian ideology and its marxist and christian origins. That’s what is wrong with America and the west. They believe the fallacy of equality.
The truth is in the middle: between Russian Paternalism and Western Truth Telling. And exclusive of Russian nihilistic lying and Western utopianism. And it is the truth that will unite us.

Q&A: WHAT IS THE POINT OF POLYCENTRIC LAW?
–“I don’t think most polycentrists claim that polycentric law would be conflicting or arbitrary, not much more than it already is, certainly not to the degree that it would be rendered undecidable.”—
Well, first, just to point out the obvious, then what is the point of it? Emotional satisfaction? The common law is already polycentric. In the sense that it evolves through every single judgement, and can be appealed on the basis of erroneous judicial judgement (not on the facts, but on the application of law).
The question facing libertarians is that polycentrisim is a convenient intellectual distraction from having failed to determine a necessary and sufficient means upon which to construct law.
Now I know enough cosmopolitan philosophy to know that this is the central strategy of cosmopolitan authors and their jewish predecessors: to state a half truth in order to allow subjective judgement to survive.
I have only begun my work on their strategy of deception through suggestion but I see it as not terribly helpful to my cause. So I haven’t taken it far enough.
Operationalism eliminates the tactic so that its no longer possible. I am more interested in the solution (operationalism and testimonialism) than I am in criticizing the group evolutionary strategy of the jewish enlightenment.
Hence why I focus on solutions rather than criticisms.

ON NSA INTEREST IN YOU (AND ME AND ANYONE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER) ON FB.
1) Search engines are more effective than friends lists.
2) And you don’t write in Arabic.
3) And you aren’t writing across borders.
4) They have better things to do.
I’ve been both a justice department employee, and on the C list in the past, and that hasn’t stopped the government from asking me for help.
RUSSIANS: The Russians work by buying influence with public intellectuals (people who write stuff). They play to egos. Russian ‘spies’ have the easiest job of all: find ‘useful idiots’. They are great at it.
CHINESE: The Chinese work by stealing info via blood relations in the states. They play to genetics, nationalism, racism, and the Chinese ‘chip on their shoulder’. They are very good at it.
MUSLIMS: The Muslims work by inciting violence with outcasts. They play to the contradiction between islam’s utopian promise and it’s evident contradiction in reality as the religion of the lower (lowest) classes. They are becoming reasonably good at it.
JEWS: The Jews work by using money to buy influence. They play of tribal common interest. They are very good at it.
AMERICANS: Americans work by gathering signal intelligence. They play off the distribution of american military, technical, financial, and commercial prowess to less developed countries, and discontent by the middle and upper middle classes in those countries.
Real ‘spies’ are very small in number. The simple ones are attache’s to embassies. The better are employees of foreign companies, or foreigners hired as employees of companies. Then there are just plain specialists who can be inserted into nearly any position as needed, and they develop RELATIONSHIPS.
We all know how each group works. So we investigate each group by the means that group uses to organize.
So unless you start threatening the president, or specifically inciting violence you’re just another annoying malcontent. And there are a lot of you. And you’re little more than evidence of the superiority of our legal system’s ability to tolerate intellectual dissent, while at the same time prohibiting physical violence.

WE CAN TEACH TESTIMONIALISM WITHOUT MILITARY SERVICE
We can buy our franchise by performing care-taking and emergency services instead of military service. We just must buy our franchise with that which cannot be replaced by money: our demonstrated self-sacrifice of irreplaceable time for the commons.
I talk about the evolution of western testimonialism, reason, science, jury and senate as the product of our familial military financing, individual tactics, and unforgiving martial contract and epistemology. I talk about buying into the franchise of property rights by sacrifice in defense of those property rights, and offensive expansion of those property rights to others.
But we can teach testimonialism through our western myths, and through narrative, grammar (operationalism, and eprime), rhetoric, logic, and propertarian ethics.
We can teach history not as political history, but as the history of evolution of various technologies of epistemology(knowledge), cooperation(ethics and politics and institutions), and construction(action).
We need not continue to teach a false religion as a pseudoscience.
We need not continue reversing 5000 years of western evolutionary development.
We can prevent the second ‘mysticism’ of the west, this time in the form of pseudoscience
We just cannot do so by begging, we must do so by force.
End the century of lies.

THE POLITICAL VIRTUES OF MILITARY SERVICE
The military does an exceptional job of converting upper proletarian and lower middle class men who would otherwise be selfish and useless into useful cogs in an amazingly large and complex machine. It is a very organized pseudo-society, but it does form a society. I am surrounded by these guys at the moment and it’s amazing how GOOD FOR YOU that military service is in making you a less selfish and capable member of the polity. I still think public service and basic training in the militial model should be required. I would have sucked at it. It would have been very hard on me. But I would have done it. And I think I would have been the better for it. A lot of men would happily join companies that would ‘take care of them for life’ at very low disposable income, and be perfectly happy to not fend for themselves in the labor market directly. The military (service), Guild (professional union), and entrepreneurial(independent) models all work, as long as we do not try to make them universals.
Monopoly is the enemy. Not government. Not state. But monopoly. Because we are vastly unequal.
