  • Regarding Economic Reform

    VERY IMPORTANT (Regarding Economic Reform) [O]rdinary people need elites, and elites need ordinary people unless dis-intermediated by capital. So end disintermediation by capital and you restore the reciprocal dependence of elites upon ordinary people. So in order to prevent elites from defecting from their ordinary people the people must prevent disintermediation their from elites by capital. How is this done? Relatively easily. Especially with full accounting of changes in capital.

  • Can We Create A New Federalist Papers?

    TO: John Mark 1) I have the ‘last 30 day’ plan ready. It’s going to blow people away. But we can’t do it until next spring at the earliest. Just letting you know that it’s going to surprise people, it will bring in the people to act, and that combined with ‘hitting the road’ is going to work. I’m not going to talk about it until the last minute. 2) Is there a chance you would be willing to do a video per article of the constitution over the winter so that we get into a discussion like the federalist papers? i mean, interview style we walk through the constitution and we cover law and policy. This is what people will be interested in. I think this is waaaay too much to ask of you. So I’ll try to find someone else if you can’t, but I think a series of shorter videos on each article of teh constitution, including the declaration, preamble, man, and law is worth doing. it’ll end up being federalist papers set two and it might be the means by which we hit even more mainstream people.

    FROM John Mark [Y]es. I think it’s a fantastic idea. It would really help people understand it and drive home to them how advanced a stage it’s in (“this is real”). Doing short (or even, say 1-hr) videos with you interview/conversation style is actually way easier and much less time consuming than my normal style videos because there’s so much less video/image editing required (that’s the time-consuming part). If I can get my sound setup sorted out so that I don’t even have to adjust sound levels afterward, it’s easy.

  • The Great Failure of the 20th

    —“Any ‘new right’ must recognize ancient western liberal tradition of ‘noble individualism’ & liberal education, etc. to avoid throwing it out with the bathwater of ‘egalitarian individualism’, which diverted the liberal idea to modern hedonic socialist ends.”— @demontage2000

    [Y]es, but those are not terms that can be institutionally enforced. Use instead:

    1. Legal: Sovereignty and Reciprocity; Juridical Defense and Jury; Truth before face, Duty before self
    2. Political: Markets before authority.
    3. Aesthetic: Heroism, Excellence, Transcendence

    [pullquote] This inflection and the failure to continue eugenics will be seen in history like the failure of the greeks to bring about the industrial revolution.[/pullquote]

    That the foundation. There is still more. The right loves the feeling of moral righteousness as much as the left loves outrage. But that is why conservative thinkers failed. We must like the founders, but better than they, create institutions and processes that provide shared incentives, not that require shared belief. The left invented desirable denial, sophism and pseudoscience. The postwar right doubled down on moralizing, b/c they were as afraid of admitting western civ is eugenic as the left was of eugenics. It invalidated democracy as national virtue narrative, in addition to the church. This inflection and the failure to continue eugenics will be seen in history like the failure of the greeks to bring about the industrial revolution. It is the basis for all problems of humanity in the post agrarian era. Vast numbers of people and cultures are detrimental to man.

  • Yarvin Version Two, Part One

    —“Yarvin is intellectually above something so pedestrian as detailing an actionable solution. His IQ is too high for that. He knows that changing the way people think will change their actions more reliably than simply shouting “do this!” and being right. ….Yarvin herds his readers into intellectual movements. He created NRx out of whole cloth. Now he is going to embed NRx into the mainstream. His cultural associations foreshadow the success of his new project, and perhaps signify a specific anointment to the cause. Sure, this isn’t the revolution. This is just a learning opportunity.”— Zachary Miller

    I know you’re a fan. I have equally devoted fans. But because of my method I will always and everywhere have fewer fans, because the rigor is simply too difficult and costly an investment. Yarvin took a different approach – literary rather than scientific. It’s a tried and true method. He doesn’t have an IQ any higher than mine that’s for sure. One has to choose one’s rhetorical model, and he uses narrative engagement, historical analogy, empathy and suggestion, rather than declarative testable statements independent of empathy and sympathy. Let’s see what he does. I’m betting it’s the same message and technique recommending the same solution. If he sues for separation and competition I’ll be very pleasantly surprised. If he only succeeds in creating a frame for the three dimensions of the political triangle and popularizing it that will be enough.
