    Welcome to The Choice – Episode 0021 – Correcting The Failures of The American Constitution – Our Germanic Origins – Part Three – I’m Curt Doolittle [A]s students of the empirical revolution, the agrarian revolution, the commercial revolution, and the enlightenment, our american civilization was architected by the founders and designed upon the ancient European tradition of rule of law by the common law under the natural law. It was an experiment in the third way: one without the parasitism and corruption of the aristocracy or the church, and burden of those of low character and ability. They saw the federation of states as a continuation of the European civilization and in particular the British Naval and Colonial version of the Continental Miltary and Holy Roman Empire of german people: an alliance of states under government, but this time a middle class -producer – government. Now, Natural Law means unlimited “Tort” or “Trespass”. Tort or Trespass requires individual sovereignty in his property. Sovereignty requires rule of law, adversarial competition before a jury of peers. And this leaves nothing possible but market competition for individual survival. And this market competition preserves natural selection. And the continuation of natural selection, is just as responsible for western exceptionalism as is our testimonial truth, evidentiary, adversarial law, sovereignty, markets, and perhaps even more importantly, our market for different elites: tri-functionalism (military, judicial, and faith). THE INITIAL PROBLEMS There were a set of six great errors in the constitution

    1. Unfortunately the founders assumed those that followed would also have knowledge of natural law, and the common law, and didn’t include those specifications in the constitution. They only specified the organization of government, and as an afterthought, some basic rights that they thought needed defending. So the FOUNDATION of western civlization, of anglo civilization, and of the american civilization as the natural law evolved under the common law and those natural rights under that natural law were never stated. This is why it has been possible to undermine natural law (rule of law), and to gradually impose positive law (rule by man) -eroding our civilization from within.
    2. The common law did evolved prior to the development of mass media, and while it contained libel and slander, and fraud, they had no concept of the use of social construction to us false promise of the impossible -freedom from physical, natural, and evolutionary laws – and therefore baiting people into hazard. They had no idea of the political scams that were possible, and despite Gibbon’s Rise and Fall being published, they could not envision that the christian destruction of the ancient world could be repeated in pseudoscientific terms in the modern world.
    3. They also -although it was a subject of great debate – used free speech instead of free truthful speech because they didn’t know how to specific truthful speech as we do now. And they did not specifically prohibit seditious speech because they didn’t know how to write it into law as we do now.
    4. They also used freedom of religion rather than freedom of Christian religion, because they could not envision a world in which Darwin and the physical sciences had eviscerated the church’s ability to use false promise to bait people into the religion. And even if they did they had no conception of mindfulness and how to use stoicism in stead to replace it.
    5. They also failed to require judicial review PRIOR to ascent of legislation, and failed to provide the return of legislative undecidability to the congress, thereby putting the court in the position of legislating from the bench – which is how the left undermined the constitution.
    6. They failed perhaps most subtly, by not ‘persuading’ (even blackmailing) Washington (or one of the others) into taking the role of monarch – who, like present Elizabeth – is a judge of last resort, and limits the fashions of the government the way the senate was designed to limit the fashions of the population. This is the hardest ‘pill’ of truth to swallow: that of prime ministers, presidents and monarchies, the optimum is monarchy, cabinet and parliament – and the presidency is the worst of all possible models. Whether Americans will tolerate a search for a weak monarch is an open question. The fact that the ant-monarchical propaganda is obviously false, and merely allows for alien people to conquer a nation and convert it to a corporation that can b exploited is not obvious through the fog of enlightenment deceits.

    THE SUBSEQUENT MISTAKES

    1. The founders failed to explain the British, Germanic, and Early European systems, as corporations, under which the monarchy(executive) was required to gain approval from the shareholders (investors, jury). And that the purpose of multi-house government (multiple juries), was to require agreement between, and to create a market for trades between the classes, preventing any class from usurping the others, and thereby preserving markets in everything. So when Americans expanded the franchise to non-property owners and women, without creating additional houses, they indirectly destroyed the entire purpose of participatory government: the power to deny power that had forced a market between the classes.
    2. When the Darwinian revolution undermined the church and her traditional role of insurer of last resort, and the false promise of marxism and socialism was spread, the state failed to maintain separation of powers and separation of revenues between the coercion of the state, and the care of the church, exacerbating class conflict and effectively denying both sides minimum power distance in pursuit of their interests, setting up a conflict that had to take place in propaganda and deceit, rather than in political markets specifically designed to provide those with dissimilar interests to cooperate.

    Assuming we’ve functionally had five constitutions already:

    1- articles of confederation, 2- first constitution, 3- post civil war southern conquest, 4- depression experiment with socialism, 5- 1960’s experimentation with cosmopolitanism. Then, we have, I have, in our Amendments, producing what is in effect the sixth constitution of the united states, which restores the original design as yet ANOTHER European continent of loosely federated states, under the natural law, unified only for the purposes of defense, debt capacity, dispute resolution, and trade. And in these, our amendments, we have repaired the six errors of the first constitution, as well as all those errors that have crept in since. And we have done so primarily because:

    1 – the 20th century experiments in integrating non-European peoples, even non-protestant peoples, has been a failure. Just as the experiment in extending our rule of law, democracy, and markets in everything has been a failure. With the only exports being our administrative, technological and scientific innovations.

    2 – the European era of expansion, and our accumulated intellectual, institutional, and technological advantage, other than our genetic and cultural advantage, has been distributed to the world in order to drag them out of primitivism: superstition, ignorance, hard labor, poverty, starvation, disease, early death, endemic warfare, and frequent victimization by nature.

    3 – And so we can no longer afford to absorb the costs of not only policing the world patterns of finance and trade, but we cannot afford to absorb the unfit into our civilization without following the roman empire into collapse for the same reason. The only thing that distinguishes the invasions of Rome because of the great migrations Rome made possible, is that the barbarians among us fight with political weaponry of Democracy and the ideology of the left, rather than bronze and iron weaponry. Even though, like the barbarians, it is the benefits of the civilization they destroy that they seek. So, welcome to the next declaration, the next reconstruction, and the restoration of western civilization. It will provide renaissance benefits to the middle, to our own bottom, and It will come at high cost to the elites and their mercenaries (immigrants), who war against us by demographic, ideological, political and financial means. Those all before us, and those all yet to be, beg us to defend them. And this time we shall not let Rome fall nor let the enemy, with it’s plan to undermine our people yet again, survive to commit yet another crime, another day. Welcome to the Revolution, Restoration, and Renaissance.

    Welcome to The Choice – Episode 0020 – Germanic Origins of The American Constitution – Our Germanic Origins Part Two – I’m Curt Doolittle.

    0) Western, west indo european, or Aryan, civilization, begins five thousand years ago as the economics and politics of herders on the steppe sought to manage increasing numbers, and organized as entrepreneurial pastoralists and warriros both. As I’ll explain in detail elsewhere, the economics, ethics, and politics of cattle raiders, Vikings, Pirates is and an upper caste of professional warriors is deterministic.  

    0.1) From that Aryan political economy we first record the hitties and the mycenean greeks, then afater the bonze age collapse, the hellenic greeks, then the Romans, with the ‘purest’ form of Aryan political economy in the early state of Sparta, early rome, and middle athens, before we see  the later roman develop the professional state.

    1) But Germanic political civilization begins with the Frankish nobility’s attempt to restore Roman order in Europe in the 600’s. Anglo civilization was part of germanic civilization until about 1830 or so b/c of Napoleon’s ‘total war’ on european civilization: The Holy Roman Empire.

    2) The Holy Roman Empire wasn’t holy, wasn’t roman, and wasn’t an empire. It was a confederation of germanic peoples and their micro-states, under an emperor, under manorial law for serfs, germanic rule of law for freemen, church as a weak judiciary for states, and emperor-judge.

    3) American history is that of the anglo branch of the germanic people (anglo, scandinavian, low contries, high, middle, and low german, and parts of today’s austria, france and poland.)

    4) The combination of the Great Fiction of the Enlightenment (the french murder of the aristocracy, seculariazation of the church, and adoption of church mission and bueaucracy), and the ‘de-germanification’ (French/Jewish) of our education since 1920 or so, ignores our germanic origins.

    5) The USA was as german as english,and the declaration and constitution writtin in both german english, because so many of our people spoke german.

    6) So while we tend to think of ourselves as a British country, (we are), we don’t realize that the British system is the traditional germanic legal system that survived the Napoleonic destruction German civilization, and imposed the state-dominant, Napoleonic legal code instead.

    7) Britain, because of her geography, history, navy, and trade, like the Netherlands, because of their naval trade, was merely the most politically advanced of the germanic states when the french destroyed traditional germanic civilization.

    8) So when the founders settled, founded, and wrote the declaration for, and the constitution for, the united states, it was using the most advanced legal and political system (British), 1000 years of germanic legal tradition, 1000 years of the holy roman empire, with the 5000 years of west indo european legal tradition.

    9) So the united states was organized as another member of the 1000 year history of the germanic peoples and the holy roman empire and it’s sattelites (england, scandinavia, germania, north italy, etc).

    10) with its principle error being nothing more than George Washington’s refusal to be monarch (emperor) over the American ‘micro-states’ like the Germanic princes, kings and emperors were of the germanic microstates.

    11) This failure, and the necessity of creating a ‘presidency’ as temporary bureaucrat rather than intergenerational monarchy as a judge of last resort, leaving the governance of the states to the people therein, set the future in motion.

    12) There is no reason why we cannot devolve the federal government into state(inventory) treasury(finance), military(defense), eliminate the house, convert the senate to the house of governors, and correct washinton’s mistake, or just move under the british throne.

    13) Because perfect government consists of a monarch as judge of last resort (like Elizabeth today), a professional cabinet, a house of the states, and within each state houses for the classes doing as they may in their common interests.

    14) With Military, Treasury, Inter-state judiciary under ‘strictly constructed traditional natural law of the european peoples”, a Professional Cabinet approve by the governors, and monarchy as the judge of last resort.

    15) This is all that is required to return western civilization to its thousands of years of political excellences, with local low power distance, and the optimum incentives for all, and to leave behind the french-catholic and jewish-marxist counter-revolutions against the west.

    Welcome to The Choice – Episode 0019 – Anchored by Our First Institutions – We Were All Wrong – Our Germanic Origins Part One – I’m Curt Doolittle.

    Trust is my favorite of Francis Fukuyama’s works, but I’ve just finished reading his other two wonderful works, OOPO(origins of political order) and POPD (political order and political decay) for the fourth time. And he very nearly solved the problem he sought to. Similar to Hayek in Law and Popper in science, or Bridgman and Brouwer in math, he came very close.

    The problem that plagued all thinkers in the 20th was the same: becker’s economics of human behavior,  cognitive science, and understanding of computation and neural networks came too late: Babbage didn’t provoke a revolution. So that everyone in the 20th wasn’t able to frame processes as operational calculations. We got stuck in philosophy and language – meaning idealism or platonism, rather than operations and computation – meaning realism.

    And the left supplied an overwhelming production of pseudoscience and sophistry that made matters far worse.

    That failing is the reason for the obvious failure by “mathiness” in economics and subatomic physics. Only slightly less obvious in psychology and sociology. Far less so in law. And not at all intuitive in political development.

    Worse, we got stuck on trying to pretend darwin, malthus, regression to the mean, and the red queen didn’t exist. we preteneded that with the industral revoulution and our departure from subsitence frarming, that the age of scarcity was over, that man was oppresed rather than domesticated, tahat man was moral rather than pragmatically amoral, and that man was malleable rather than biological machines with different capacities that are unalterable. Or taht intelligence and lower aggression wasn’t simply the rate of cognitive adaptation as a continuation of natureal selection.

    So civilizations like any information system are anchored by their first institutions. There are only three means of coercion so only three sets of institutions: force and the state, remuneration and the law (tort), and ostracization vs inclusion (religion).

     So India couldn’t overcome the demographics so was struck in fiction (religion). The Semites tried to convert religion to law but couldn’t form states. China could build a state and secular wisdom literature, but not the law. The west developed militia and law, later state.

    But the ‘middle class’ west failed at religion and that was its vulnerability.’Upper class’ China’s vulnerability was entrepreneurship.’Lower class’ Semitia’s vulnerability was entrepreneurship and States. And India vulnerable to everything but her demographics(islam would win).

    So under these conditions groups can ‘calculate’ the discovery adaptation to and application of ideas faster or slower. And under that computational ability, we would see, Semitic civilization hyperconsume and decline but still expand (it did).

    Indian civilization reach equilibrium set by the geography (it did). Chinese civilization reach limits and convert to moralizing rather than religion (it did).

    And europeans, by LEAPFROGGING the religious and state phases, (yes that’s the point) developed the rule of law at the top, and rule of law is the fastest system of innovation possible for man. Realism, naturalism, operationalism, self-determination, by sovereignty and reciprocity adversarially settled in a market competition we call the court by the test of tort (trespass) CALCULATES. and calculates with almost zero friction.

    Rule of law systematically calculates the immediate suppression of error, fraud, deceit, and harm (irreciprocity) on the one hand and deprives ‘shareholders’ (citizens) of any means of survival other than the market (and of course, pillaging the enemy).

    This is the most adaptive political order possible – under the condition that you treat those unable to compete in it as domesticated animals (slaves, serfs, freemen). And this is the price europeans had to pay: soft eugenics.

    And only Europe and China paid those prices (china by credit, europe manorialism). And china’s only failure was not developing rule of law. Europe’s failure is that entrepreneurialism (wealth pursuit) was not constrained like the Chinese – who were ‘ahead’ of neighbors.

    So where Chinese reached out to the world and found it lesser, Europeans reached out to the world and saw the opportunity for more ‘profit from the domestication of man’. The difference is, that outgroups can’t be domesticated. and Europeans always failed.

    They failed in the ancient world and they failed in the modern world, and while replacing the siberian-americans, are being replaced just as the indo-Iranians and the Persians have been replaced and to the same negative consequences.

    So my point here is that the optimum political order and economic order is the one china has taken, which is the very long term (at least 100 years), ethnocentrism, ethnocentric nationalist military, strong state, professional bureaucracy seeking the best executive talent where the state absorbs labor necessary to produce commons, and a rule of law of reciprocity economy, for the exploitation of opportunities for consumption, while regulating the population to semi-autarkic limits of the geography.

    So the unpleasant lesson is that (despite my libertarian origins) is that Fascism won the debate of the 20th. The french revolution destroyed the core of europe: the holy roman empire’s federation of states under customary law of tort, that French division of powers, continental liberalism, ‘positive law’, ‘continental law’ meritless democracy, meritless access to political power, large states, open borders, multiculturalism all undermined the strong state (rule of law, constitutional monarchy), meritocratic houses of the classes as a market for the production of commons. Undermined the tolerance of an homogenous ethnocentric polity to redistribute and sacrifice, undermined their ability to appeal to the state, eliminated juridical defense against the state, Created a military that is in fact subject to the same ‘mercenary’ division of interests as has caused the collapse of the roman legions. Access to political power that has brought the Bolshevic Revolution to the west; Created a cult of social and psychological pseudoscience; created an invasion no different from the Germanic invasion of the Roman Empire, or the Muslim invasion of the great civilizations of the ancient world; and brought about a conflict like that of the Roman republic and effectively doomed western civilization.

    Because as every student of political history knows quite well, political groups make bad decisions, for no other reason than the competition between groups. Authoritarian organizations make mistakes too. It’s the adversarial competition between state, market, and family – Regulating state, market, and family participants to ‘living within their means’ that maintains the balance of power, and it is only rule of law of tort that can be used to measure that balance.

    So in other words, despite my Jeffersonian instincts, and my specialization in economics and law, this means everyone is wrong. Everyone failed. Because the problem is the downward expansion of unregulated reproduction in the absence of natural selection a natural selection which is at the state level, if not the civilizational level. With Islam the bacterial that consumes the waste, and has the most ignorance producing, and dysgenic (devolutionary) effects by design.

    Welcome to The Choice – Episode 0019 – Anchored by Our First Institutions – We Were All Wrong – Our Germanic Origins Part One – I’m Curt Doolittle.

    Trust is my favorite of Francis Fukuyama’s works, but I’ve just finished reading his other two wonderful works, OOPO(origins of political order) and POPD (political order and political decay) for the fourth time. And he very nearly solved the problem he sought to. Similar to Hayek in Law and Popper in science, or Bridgman and Brouwer in math, he came very close.

    The problem that plagued all thinkers in the 20th was the same: becker’s economics of human behavior,  cognitive science, and understanding of computation and neural networks came too late: Babbage didn’t provoke a revolution. So that everyone in the 20th wasn’t able to frame processes as operational calculations. We got stuck in philosophy and language – meaning idealism or platonism, rather than operations and computation – meaning realism.

    And the left supplied an overwhelming production of pseudoscience and sophistry that made matters far worse.

    That failing is the reason for the obvious failure by “mathiness” in economics and subatomic physics. Only slightly less obvious in psychology and sociology. Far less so in law. And not at all intuitive in political development.

    Worse, we got stuck on trying to pretend darwin, malthus, regression to the mean, and the red queen didn’t exist. we preteneded that with the industral revoulution and our departure from subsitence frarming, that the age of scarcity was over, that man was oppresed rather than domesticated, tahat man was moral rather than pragmatically amoral, and that man was malleable rather than biological machines with different capacities that are unalterable. Or taht intelligence and lower aggression wasn’t simply the rate of cognitive adaptation as a continuation of natureal selection.

    So civilizations like any information system are anchored by their first institutions. There are only three means of coercion so only three sets of institutions: force and the state, remuneration and the law (tort), and ostracization vs inclusion (religion).

     So India couldn’t overcome the demographics so was struck in fiction (religion). The Semites tried to convert religion to law but couldn’t form states. China could build a state and secular wisdom literature, but not the law. The west developed militia and law, later state.

    But the ‘middle class’ west failed at religion and that was its vulnerability.’Upper class’ China’s vulnerability was entrepreneurship.’Lower class’ Semitia’s vulnerability was entrepreneurship and States. And India vulnerable to everything but her demographics(islam would win).

    So under these conditions groups can ‘calculate’ the discovery adaptation to and application of ideas faster or slower. And under that computational ability, we would see, Semitic civilization hyperconsume and decline but still expand (it did).

    Indian civilization reach equilibrium set by the geography (it did). Chinese civilization reach limits and convert to moralizing rather than religion (it did).

    And europeans, by LEAPFROGGING the religious and state phases, (yes that’s the point) developed the rule of law at the top, and rule of law is the fastest system of innovation possible for man. Realism, naturalism, operationalism, self-determination, by sovereignty and reciprocity adversarially settled in a market competition we call the court by the test of tort (trespass) CALCULATES. and calculates with almost zero friction.

    Rule of law systematically calculates the immediate suppression of error, fraud, deceit, and harm (irreciprocity) on the one hand and deprives ‘shareholders’ (citizens) of any means of survival other than the market (and of course, pillaging the enemy).

    This is the most adaptive political order possible – under the condition that you treat those unable to compete in it as domesticated animals (slaves, serfs, freemen). And this is the price europeans had to pay: soft eugenics.

    And only Europe and China paid those prices (china by credit, europe manorialism). And china’s only failure was not developing rule of law. Europe’s failure is that entrepreneurialism (wealth pursuit) was not constrained like the Chinese – who were ‘ahead’ of neighbors.

    So where Chinese reached out to the world and found it lesser, Europeans reached out to the world and saw the opportunity for more ‘profit from the domestication of man’. The difference is, that outgroups can’t be domesticated. and Europeans always failed.

    They failed in the ancient world and they failed in the modern world, and while replacing the siberian-americans, are being replaced just as the indo-Iranians and the Persians have been replaced and to the same negative consequences.

    So my point here is that the optimum political order and economic order is the one china has taken, which is the very long term (at least 100 years), ethnocentrism, ethnocentric nationalist military, strong state, professional bureaucracy seeking the best executive talent where the state absorbs labor necessary to produce commons, and a rule of law of reciprocity economy, for the exploitation of opportunities for consumption, while regulating the population to semi-autarkic limits of the geography.

    This law would result in the professionalization of all journalism across the spectrum, such that all public speech was effectively court testimony, and given the harms from failure of due diligence, would require insurance for journalists.This would clean journalism within 1 yr. https://twitter.com/curtdoolittle/status/1329606620893077505
