  • Intersex “discipline”

    Jan 27, 2020, 11:14 AM (hard questions) (judgemet of the natural law)

    —“Serious question, is it ever justifiable to hit a woman if she grsm’s you too much? What is the recommended amount of force under P?”—Jack Hwite

    This is a great example of how sovereignty has been used throughout our history. And why this question has such a long history in our law: because it’s a common problem. Justifiable isn’t a meaningful term. Instead, under natural law, and under traditional european law, you can challenge anyone male of female to a duel, demand apology, demand satisfaction, and if refused exercise sovereignty in self defense. Or put differently, in natural law, each of us is sovereign, whether male or female. But the sexes differ in our exercise of force. “A male physical super-predator exchanges the forgoing of his violence with women so long as women social super-predators exchange forgoing their their undermining (GSRRM) in return. If this contract is broken then physical violence and undermining are both licensed.” Or the individuals may choose to forgo the duel and simply have at each other in words and hands. A judicially sanctioned duel before peers is preferred, since differences in ability can be minimized by traditional pit and bag or other means. A conflict can be brought before the court instead and settled there. Because “Scolding” is just as much a violation of sovereignty and the peach as is physical violence. However, this is limited to discipline for insult, and when the other party lies down and submits the conflict must stop – otherwise the parties extend beyond the judicial duel into attempted murder. This competition is the only way to prevent male and female warfare by their individual means. We have constrained men’s violence but let loose women’s violence – and we are paying the price of undermining our civilization as a consequence.

  • There Is Only One Law

    Jan 28, 2020, 11:21 AM There is only one law with two faces, and that is the law of reciprocity: in the negative as prohibitions – that is the contribution of european man; and on the inverse, the law of exhausting interpersonal forgiveness : in the positive: as demands – that is the contribution of christianity. The Pagan European command of paternalism to domesticate humans from slaves to serfs to freemen, and if possible to citizens and sovereigns. And the monotheistic resistance to domestication by the extension of kinship love to non kin. The original christianity was just another peasant rebellion against better people wanting to domesticate half human animals. The byzantine compromise was a practical solution to the greco roman empire’s loss of wealth and military power: like communism a false promise of reward in the next world, instead of economic reward after a revolution – neither of which is possible. Eventually, we germanized christianity and made it into something decent. It took a long time to undo the horror and corruption of the catholic church. Eventually the Orthodox preserved the ritualism without the politics. Eventually adam smith wrote down ethics in scientific terms, hume the human mind in scientific terms, and slowly we have dragged ourselves kiking and screaming to restore the two thousand years we lost to semitic underclass dark ages of resistance to mans domestication transcendence, and eugenic evolution. So it is possibly true that that the extension of kinship love to non kin is a good thing. It is possibly true that piety for those lacking agency and ability is a good thing. It is better however that we limit the extension of love to kin groups; and that we substitute loyalty to one another rather than piety to a false god.

  • The Trade Between The Aristocracy and The Common Folk

    —“Caesar was asked if he believed in the gods, to which he replied, ‘The common folk do- so must I’.”—Bjarg Jonsson

    Reciprocity: The people sacrifice to the emperor, the emperor sacrifices to the people. The sacrifice is an expression of loyalty at cost. The sacrifice is not a falsehood. It is material. It is not a payment. But it is a cost.   (tag: christianity, religion, trade, compromise)

  • Requirements

    Any religion must produce Mindfulness (Self), Humility (Others), Piety (The Universe). The Best religion produces Excellence (investment), Truth (word), Reciprocity (action), Duty (Compensation), Charity (Insurance). The reason christianity spread is that until then the underclasses and women had no means of obtaining virtue. Christianity provides virtue or the illusion of virtue, even if you do nothing except refrain from doing bad.

  • Fallen Angels vs Risen Beasts 😉

    90753518_596101140986780_769125924275748864_o

    [S]orry. Man is risen beast (hero) Not fallen angel (criminal). And he is risen by the the law: the physical laws of nature, the natural law of sovereignty and reciprocity, the evolutionary law of transcendence. And the priesthood we love is almost always the enemy of transcendence. And the scientists, judiciary, and entrepreneurs are almost always the advocates of transcendence. If you believe we are fallen angels and that man was oppressed, you’re counter to the evidence and will agree with the oppression and power narrative. If you believe we are risen beasts, and that the underclasses were consistently domesticated like all other animals, then you will be in concert with the evidence. The primary difference between races, sub-races, civilizations, and states is the size of the underclass The struggle for man, that only west and far east achieved at all, is the suppression of the reproduction of the unproductive classes by market means, so that the surpluses of production can be devoted to the production of the high returns on commons. There are various evolutionary reasons why those who are ‘insufficiently valuable for the privilege of reproduction” are unaware of their inadequacy. And there are reasons why elites make use of these useful idiots that don’t know better. Slavery in the european tradition mean’t that others took responsibility for your room and board, in exchange for you doing the work for them. In other words, it was a monetary economy. Only once we develop slavery by conquest (stealing people) does it become a negative institution -and even then slaves were protected from abuse by owners (employers). It’s getting difficult to find places in the world where people are uneducated. But that’s a recent phenomenon. Human beings are not very ‘nice’ to one another by nature. Were purely rational creatures and choose the cheapest means of survival. In advanced civs that happens to be cooperation most of the time. But in most of history war, murder, rape, pillaging, was the most profitable private and public industry. Your ancestors weren’t oppressed. They were domesticated.Humans have no intrinsic value.Your quality of life is more dependent on the smallness of the underclass in relation to the middle and upper classes than it is on your abilities.There is no freedom from physical (scarcity), natural (incentives), and evolutionary (eugenic) laws. None.

  • A State Religion?

    Feb 1, 2020, 9:52 AM

    —“Would a P government endorse a religion?”–Tim Abbott

    P-law allows the truthful reciprocal construction of any form of government and any economy as long as it’s stated in strictly constructed p-law. A continuation of the european sovereigns under rule of law by natural law of reciprocity, that we see in the proto-germanic, germanic, anglo saxon, english, british, american constitutions would yes, permit and possibly require a state religion. It would require compatibility with natural law. This leaves only traditional european religions (all of them), and christianity, and prohibits all others. And it posits chirstianity in scientific terms. In general, history has taught us that state religion is necessary, and so it appears we will have a set of state religions and state funding of religion as we do schools. Even though that religion will cover a broad spectrum of secular, pagan, and monotheistic christian religions.
