    —“Curt Doolittle, you confessed to some aspergerism. Asperger people tend to be general intelligences, and fail to see archetypes, swiss-knife like cognitive schemata, and therefore, the value of religion. Can you explain where I’m wrong?”—- Giego Caleiro

    [W]ell, instead, I would say that those of us at the edge of the spectrum are more fully human (dependent upon reason), and those of you who are not, are less fully human (still dependent on animal impulse and intuition). I am not the first person to say that aspie-ness is the next step in evolution since it simply means there is more introspective capacity than neuro-commoners possess, and greater ability to process volumes of information, and that we are perfectly happy with one another, and that it’s neuro-commoners that are no longer ‘fit’ for socialization. That said, to address your question about associative (pre-cognitive) rather than rational or calculative (cognitive) relations: you know, you can find VALUE in archetypes and I’ve argued about reforming stoicism to make use of archetypes and thereby limit ‘religious’ literature to heroic rather than submissive and supernatural content. This is the future of ‘Religion’ as I undrestand it since it is not dependent on professed belief in and dedication to ritualization of falsehoods. But when we talk about SOCIAL and POLITICAL and ECONOMIC orders, which is my job, “Meaning” is how you coerce people to agree with your FRAME while TRUTH is how you render disputes and limit people to that which is not parasitic and predatory and deceitful with the UNIVERSAL FRAME (what we call scientific frame). So what you call religion and are indoctrinated to think of religion as monotheism, I (correctly) understand that it is just a method of training the intuition (emotions) such that they conform to the group’s evolutionary strategy. And this same process can be achieved through many ways – some of which are nearly perfect (stoicism), some a be less so (greco-roman polytheism, shintoism, ritual, ancestor worship), some quite a bit less so (buddhism), some outright bad (christianity), some outright catastrophic (islam) and some outright evil (judaism). So while my ‘gift’ allows me to see subtle patterns independent of emotional and cognitive bias better than the vast majority of people, it doesn’t mean I don’t understand (or practice) some version of religion. It means, that like Nietzsche, I undrestand the depth of the evil of abrahamic religions and that we are still struggling to release ourselves from the dark ages that they imposed upon this world, through the use of a particular frailty of the human mind when open to suggestion. So I specialize in VIA NEGATIVA (law, decidability) which says only what you must not do, not what you must do. Whatever you do that doesn’t violate that law is either amoral (irrelevant) or moral (not bad), or good (additive to the commons). One can, VIA POSITIVA (meaning, education) train the body, intuition(emotions), and mind (calculation) and memory (general knowledge) by various means. And I judge those means and the law judges those means not by how easy it is or familiar it is to transfer meaning – but, via-negativa, by the damage caused by any falsehood, parasitism, predation therein. Ergo, abrahamic religions are all evil – the greatest evil man has faced other than the great plagues. The question is how can we produce a literature (“Wisdom Literature” is the name for this category of education) that is absent those ‘bads and falsehoods’. Stoicism was eventually invented by the late greeks and romans and it was the combination of stoicism and mithraism that should have resulted in the ideal man, and the ideal virtues – for the simple reason that Homer provided a hero of the aristocracy, zeno a hero of the new middle class, and the jews a hero for the slaves women and underclass. The problem is, that the underclass hero was authoritarian slave owner and judaism a rebellion, christianity an undermining, and islam a conquest of the great civilizations – destroying aristocracy wherever it went, and knowledge and learning with it. We have ancestors worthy of worship – hundreds if not a thousand. Those who have shit ancestors make up gods. Those of us with ancestors (Odin) or archetypes (greco-roman-egyptian) need not fabricate false heroes from the leftover scraps of their betters. If you are not capable of having this discussion I will understand. Few are. Which is why these religions are evil. There is no difference between cigarette addiction, alcohol addiction, drug addiction, and monotheistic abrahamic addiction, other than the means by which the opiates are released into the system. That is why religious people demonstrate addiction responses and withdrawal symptoms when they are confronted with the fact that their mindfulness (training of their emotions) can be performed by many means, but they lack the will courage and honor to leave superstition behind.

  • A QUESTION ABOUT HOPPE, AND PRIVATE STATES AS CORPORATIONS (good read for libert

    A QUESTION ABOUT HOPPE, AND PRIVATE STATES AS CORPORATIONS

    (good read for libertarians esp, but all in general.)

    —“Hey Curt, I have a question about a subject I’ve been rolling around in my mind for a while, and you said you’re always happy to answer questions, so here goes: I’m starting from Hoppe’s incentives-based analysis which showed a monarchy is preferable to a democracy when running a State. What’s been bugging me about that, is how do you prevent the fall and decline of a new monarchy, just like the way all other monarchies collapsed?”—

    Well, monarchies collapsed because of 1) gunpowder crushing the value of professional warriors who were committed to preservation of the hierarchy, 2) the conversion from agrarian production to trade as the source of wealth, and therefore the rise of middle/upper-middle class power and influence, 3) the failure to adapt to that power change at the rate it was occurring, 4) the french conquest of europe forcing the unification of germany, 5) the use of democracy by the middle class to seize power from the monarchies, by extending the franchise, 6) the communist-socialist movement, attempt to overthrow middle class rule and 7) the american prevention of the restoration of the monarchies after the first and second world wars: “There never would have been a hitler if a Hohenzollern had been on the throne.”

    I mean. Monarchies are still extant where americans(anglos) or communists(jews) didn’t destroy them. And those are the most successful countries. America wold not be in current position if she had a constitutional monarchy instead of a bureaucratic oligarchical presidency.

    —“Since there wasn’t any model I knew of in history (and that’s perhaps a dark spot you could illuminate) which answered this issue, I had to synthesize a new model, injecting some ideas from Moldbug’s formalism. “—

    As an aside, Most men, I would give the same advice: “Read more and deduce from a position of ignorance less.”

    —“Since the base rationale of running a State as a monarchy is keeping it in trust and for profit why not literally run the monarchy as a corporation? The king can be both the owner and CEO, the aristocracy can be the board of directors, and instead of treating the people like subjects, you treat them like employees, which keeps them more vested in the well being of the organization, aligned with its purposes, and leaves more room for meritocratic advancement.”—

    I guess I’m confused but that was Hoppe’s point right? That a monarchy was a privately held corporation and the territory and capital its assets and the people could move between these territories, and monarchies competed for productive talent (the way current states compete for rent seekers). Therefore the monarchy would have intergenerational incentives to preserve and accumulate capital (mutliple-producing-commons), where ‘rentiers’ would try to (and did) consume all that capital – and are now consuming even genetic capital.

    The problem is the difference between via-positiva (government producing commons), and via-negativa (law producing limitations on actions). As you grow from small to large the monarch like a ceo must distribute the labor of governance until his only remaining function is ‘judge of last resort’ in matters that cannot be resolved by others: usually great questions of the day, and whether to go to war.

    So the monarchies (france in particular) that modernized (Prussia, most germany, everyone other than france and italy which were endemically corrupt), were able to produce professional administrators (ministers) and bureaucracies (bureaucrats), that worked in the people and monarchy’s interests – and were successful. But as scale increases this becomes increasingly harder.

    So many small kingdoms (market) that trade is preferable to one large empire that manages (monopoly), except in war, but napoleon and russia set off the wars of expansion, with germany (wwii) trying to reverse that conquest of central europe (german civilization).

    The problem is in producing those organizations that perform the functions of investor in competitive commons and industries, justice, treasury, insurer of last resort. And the argument is that privately held services do a better job than do bureaucracies because bureaucracies are not subject to market competition. However, like all start ups, it may require a investment in producing the capability before the service is capable of functioning in the market. So the optimum appears to be in creating a monopoly bureaucracy until it is competent, then privatizing that industry by selling it to investors, while retaining majority interest (in control of it).

    Ergo. yes private market organizations that compete for the accumulation of intergenerational capital are in the long term in the interests of the people within them, just as collectivist corporations that constitute monopolies that consume all capital and intergenerational compaital are in the long term againsts the intersets of the people in them.

    —“It also seems rather conductive to promoting a “libertarian social order”.”—

    Well that’s his point now, isn’t it? 😉

    —“There are also historical small scale examples where this was attempted in the form of company towns or campuses run by corporations, which as far as I know usually turned up pretty well.”–

    That’s libertarian nonsense. The only such organizations exist as border regions under the protection of strong states. No examples in history exist otherwise. Fringe players assume risks in order to settle border territories and hold them in the State’s name against settle ment by competitors, and in exchange pay little or no taxes because of the service they are providing the state. This same activity is not possible without state protection. this is why all libertarianism is nonsense: one holds territory because one can fight to hold it from competitors. That is reality. Economies make it possible to afford the men, resources, and tools to fight to hold that territory, and use the surpluses for consumption and capital accumulation.

    —“I’m really curious to hear your thoughts on the idea, and if there is any literature on the model”—

    Well now you have them. 😉 Your intuition was on but I think you missed hoppe’s point. Hoppe wanted to create ‘free cities’ of germany like rothbard wanted to create ‘free cities’ of ukraine. The similarity is that germany and ukraine were territories under the protection of great powers. And that is the only reason free cities were allowed: to hold (reserve) territory in the name of a power.

    Hoppe and rothbard both practice the same denialism: war is the most profitable industry for the winner. The military comes first before all other commons. The military makes possible rule of law. Rule of law makes possible commerce. Commerce makes possible wealth. Wealth attracts population and reproduction and trade continuously, and the military capacity and legal capacity must keep pace with the increasing demand by others to conquer and tax that territory.

    —“Keep up the excellent work, I really enjoy your posts”—

    Hugs. Let’s fight the good fight. 😉
