Dec 19, 2019, 2:39 PM KING OF THE HILL WORKS by Luke Weinhagen There is an organization that exploded across the world based on the same two things being applied to the learning of P, creating opportunity to fail and playing king of the hill to accelerate development. The guy who built this organization is Greg Glassman, Founder of CrossFit Inc. Track down some of the early videos/material, not the Competition/Games related stuff, and you find some pretty solid and productive applications of king of the hill. Make it measurable, then put points on each measurement and say “Go”. Winning points go up on the board. (if you listen to the war college lecture and replace the concept “fitness” with “reciprocity” you will start to see similarities in what P is doing with creating methods of measurement, falsification and due diligence – part 4 of the War College lecture goes a bit about the impact of turning development into competition)

Corporations Should Not Be Allowed to Exist without Benefiting the Commons Directly.
Dec 25, 2019, 2:41 PM Millennials quoting Millennials studying Curt Doolittle. All will be well. Heimdallr Aldafaðir I believe one of the ways America and the West have lost their way. We started to prioritize “profits” over Commons. Jobs over communities. Nomadic capitalism over ” generational roots”. The Socialists aren’t wrong about the dangers of Capitalism. Their solution is mostly moronic. But the danger exists. From what I gather of History and Economics. The only or best way to safeguard the Commons (society, families, countries, people, etc.) is to temper the profit motive with a strong incentive to invest in the Commons. Which is one of the things America (especially) has lost over the centuries. Corporate Charters should return to mortality. They should also require investment in the Commons directly or face termination entirely. Only by showing a direct causal link to the betterment of the Commons should they be allowed to maintain legality and operation. Prove to US how you benefit US. Endless (or functionally endless) Charters are parasitic and enable almost exclusively free riders. No. More. Free. Rides.

Why Does Common Law Marriage Exist?
Dec 27, 2019, 5:34 PM Common law marriage is the origin of all marriage. The question is, why do church ceremonies, state marriages, and state licenses exist? Traditional european marriage required only both parties agree to it, but technically speaking, it was an agreement between families, not just the husband and wife. A marriage agreement (promise, contract) is not only between the husband and wife, between their families, but is insured by the polity. Meaning that if you interfered in a marriage you were liable for damages (Yes really). We are very comfortable today but it was not long ago that life was precarious and reciprocally insured each other, so a failed marriage ment that parental families would absorb costs they might not be able to carry. Marriage licenses began so that otherwise illegal marriages could be conducted. In the USA the puritans in Massachusetts began requiring them (I don’t know why) – most likely to maintain their version of eugenic mating which is an unspoken tenet of the protestant ethic. The present reason for marriage licenses, registrations, and ceremonies is the prevention of illegal marriages, and the resolution of property and inheritance disputes by the court now that we have enough wealth to worry about.

The Christian Denominations and Their Variations
Dec 29, 2019, 1:40 PM Again, orthodoxy survived because the church ‘minded its own business’ and did not as in the west, start with an attack on the aristocracy and seek to destroy it, but was imposed by the state as a means of governing (administering) the (ignorant) peasantry. The truth is that our pagan religions whether mediterranean, Atlantic, Germanic, Scandinavian, Slavic, or Finnic are far superior in mirroring reality than the semitic. But that the Jesus figure is certainly an ideal if we want to cooperate in large numbers across families, clans, tribes and nations. Not how Orthodoxy emphasizes god (the community), Catholicism Church Dogma (political), and Protestantism the life of Jesus(Personal). It’s fascinating that the religion managed to specialize for what was needed for each. However, only orthodoxy (god, community, organized religion), and evangelical protestantism (Jesus personal, folk religion) will survive, and that catholicism (political) has devolved into money-seeking traitor to european civilization and now selling indulgences to the superstitious underclasses.
