    When do not seize an opportunity to do what is in your power, at others’ expense, you pay a cost of forgone opportunity.

    @curtdoolittle How is violence a freaking resource that can be “invested” in the state?

    RULE PROFITABLY OR BE RULED BY OTHERS

    (good stuff)

    The Dead are less costly than Competitors – rule by competition.

    Competitors are less costly than criminals – rule by predation.

    Criminals are less costly than slaves – rule by crime

    Slaves are less profitable than Serfs – rule by force.

    Serfs are less profitable than Employees – rule by law.

    Employees are less profitable than Debtors – rule by credit

    Debtors are less profitable than Followers – rule by religion, pseudoscience, and deceit.

    Followers are less profitable than Sovereigns – rule by reciprocity

    Sovereigns are less profitable than Rule – rule by all of the above.

    Rule is always profitable.

    Therefore, Rule profitably. Rule unprofitably. Or be ruled by others at your own expense.

    All that changes is the number of people in each group.

    As we gain wealth by incremental suppression of opportunity for parasitism, the median of the distribution advances in profitability.

    But make no mistake: there are no conditions under which this hierarchy doesn’t exist.

  • DEFINITION: A PROGRESSIVE – THE UNDOMESTICATED ANIMALS AMONG US. THOSE WITH WHOM

    DEFINITION: A PROGRESSIVE – THE UNDOMESTICATED ANIMALS AMONG US. THOSE WITH WHOM WE ARE AT WAR.

    A useful idiot with short-term time-preference, easily led by Cosmopolitans (instead of the church), into following a long sequence of incrementalisms, which result in the destruction of everything beyond the perception of their short time preference, and impervious to the perception, cognition, and accountability of the dysgenic devolution that they have produced, as little bait-followers of their much more cunning, and entirely evil, idiot-farmers.

    The world has been rebelling against the Heroic, Aristocratic Egalitarian Civilization, and our ongoing efforts at domestication of man, animal, nature, and the universe, since we invented it entirely for selfish reasons of profiteering by the domestication of man, just a we had from the domestication of the horse.

    The horse, like the pig, sheep, cow, chicken, men, and woman in particular, yearn to return to the selfish, impulsive, opportunistic wild where the burden of Truth, Planning, Reason, Cooperation, Production, Family, Industry, Commons and Nation are no longer a daily burden their short-term minds must bear.

    We are too Christian and insufficiently pagan when we assume that these people simply need education or incentives. They don’t. They’re genetically defective, still animals, not fully domesticated into rational humans. They have merely learned to ape our civilization’s truth as convenience, reason as propaganda, science as pseudoscience, while reaping its benefits, while watching the fence for an opportunity to run off with the contents of the garden.

    There was no Eden. By the hand of western man we cultivate it from the chaos. Eden is an ambition, not a memory.

    Progressivism is the dysgenic, devolutionary, re-wilding of man, undoing thousands of years of our progress, for the profitability of short-term consumption and increasing numbers, which pollute, exhaust, and uglify this garden we call Earth; and threaten to prohibit our extension of this garden to the stars.

    Those who are undomesticatable are not sufficiently human, that we should consider them untapped resources that might join our aristocracy and our multi-millennium quest to produce heaven versus merely longing for it.

    Morality is limited to those with whom we can cooperate. If we cannot cooperate we can ignore. If we cannot ignore we can enslave. if we cannot enslave we can kill. If we cannot kill we must defend. If we defend we simply accumulate technology and resources until we can return to ignoring, enslaving, and killing.

    The universe will not give us many chances to repeat each era. Geological time is not kind to us. There are as yet no other voices in the darkness. If we are to become the gods we seek over the garden we seek, then we cannot fall to the barbarians – even our own women – once again. as we have in the past.

    We confused our technological success in the modern era with our success at escaping the most constant threat that we have always faced: the invasion and conquest by the beast that is undomesticated man. Where we did not confuse our condition with success, we rested on our laurels, and bribed the animals with trinkets like literacy, and science, and medicine, and rule of law. But this did not domesticate them. They were not prisoners of poor governors, but undomesticated animals, who having, like locusts, consumed without payment, the goods we have made. Did not adapt to the conditions under which those goods were manufactured: self-domestication.

    We can profit from markets and open trade, we can profit from markets and closed trade, we can profit from markets by technological secrecy and innovation, we can profit from the market for governance by conquest and colonization and domestication, or we can profit by conquest, death, and the taking of property and territory.

    The only advantage to profiting from markets and open trade is that we take less risk at the cost of becoming obese and ill from overconsumption, rather than profiting from colonization, or conquest is risk and reward, and clearly we UNDERESTIMATED our low risk: the risk in same in both cases by different means.

    We have spent a century now with the experiment of non-domestication of man and woman and it has given us domestic socialism, world communism, world Islamism, and the near destruction of our families, culture, civilization followed by the near genocide of our tribes.

    We cannot reap the rewards of domestication – a high trust society with rapid innovation, production, and consumption – by failing to defeat the Red Queen of undomesticated humans.

    We always pick the wrong allies. The Chinese and the Russians are Our only friends. Why? Because they do not surrender, ever, the hard work of domesticating animals, whether forieng, domestic, of female.

  • Why Are We Not Better Off Killing, Dispossessing Or Enslaving You?

    WHY ARE WE NOT BETTER OFF KILLING, DISPOSSESSING OR ENSLAVING YOU? The fact that I don’t kill you, enslave you, or dispossess you, and instead cooperate with you for mutual benefit, does not include the presumption that I will sacrifice for you. If I must sacrifice for you then I am better of killing, enslaving, or dispossessing you. You presume too much. contribution to commons, and insurance against vicissitudes of nature, are not the same as redistribution allowing you to increase your consumption and reproduction.
