    Trump’s continuing, successful mission to reform the postwar State Department from treating other government bureaucrats as infantile premodernism that must be brought into consumer capitalism, rather than mature competitors to be profited from. WE ARE NOT A CHURCH.

    The people of Connecticut must finally come to understand that the reason they are 44th in the nation (and CT is a dump) is because the people of CT have always been wrong. ALWAYS. Self righteous puritanism led to self righteous socialism led to self righteous postmodernism, and what was the finest parcel of real estate habitable by man outside of the Loire Valley in France, has been reduced to a soviet slum from the border of Fairfield county -which is nothing more than a tax haven for New Yorkers, and New York is just the profit center for the marketing and sale of US Federal Fiat Currency to the financial and banking markets. Why did Boston lose the technology market to the Bay Area? Why has every company of every possible size that can physically afford to do so, left connecticut? Why does ever person with any economic ability leave connecticut? Why doe entrepreneurs laugh when Connecticut is mentioned? Connecticut was the state that most thoroughly implemented the soviet model, and is paying the same price of the soviets. Connecticut is a wasteland from springfield through hartford through new haven through bridgeport, and has now lost the southeast to immigrant crime. There is a reason we replaced the priesthood with the middle class business person during the enlightenment. There is a reason we replaced the church with science. People who try to do good by political means always and everywhere do ill for the simple reason that anything you subsidize increases. Western civilization created extraordinary wealthy by innovation, expansion, competition, and conquest. And northeasterners and their ‘cult’ have destroyed that civilization in less than a century of ‘good intentions’. The road to hell, and the road to bankruptcy and poverty are paved with good intentions. Prosperity is always and everywhere the result of continuous competitive advancement. All the great arts and sciences are the work of conquering commercial empires. So if you are a new englander, of ‘priestly’ bent, you are doing nothing other than buying self serving virtue signals by spending down the accumulated competitiveness of your ancestors. And you have paved your way to hell. A very wise man said: “Whenever you are unsure how to vote, consult a well meaning fool, and vote the other direction. People of Connecticut need to move radically in the other direction, or this “soviet worker’s paradise on englishs soil’ will continue to decline as did the soviet union, and every other nation that has attempted the same. The future is not star trek. It’s venezuela, brazil, and india.

  • Peterson’s Mission Vs Doolittle’s Mission

    In the end Petersen working on self help – or self correction (direct) at one end of the spectrum and I’m working on systemic help – or systemic correction (indirect) at the other end of the spectrum. He’s teaching and I’m governing. Via positiva, via negativa. I made this similar argument about Mises vs Hayek, and I could easily make the argument about Spencer vs Nietzsche. I could make the same argument between Marx and Keynes. Hayek spent his whole life coming to the same conclusion I have, by almost exactly the same sequence. individual training is extremely expensive but collective (systemic) training is cheap and most effective. And the single most effective means of training is the continuous evolution of the single law of reciprocity that we call the law. People will self justify anything and everything at all times. People cannot self-justify their way out of law. Legislation, and morality yes, but law no. They must act in accordance with it. The brain gives us reward for the number of free associations generated by any given set of relations. It literally feels good for the neural economy to prune and grow – identifying more possibilities…. more IMAGINATION, and therefore more opportunity. And it is opportunity-generation that is the value of memory. This is one of the reasons we able to empathize, extend trust, suspend disbelief, and accept new information from storytelling uncritically via suggestion the by the same process we imitate others through observation and imitation. (if you can connect those processes it will help you understand.) But we are suggestible by observation and by storytelling just as we are suggestible by acting in the environment – hence metaphysical value judgements that we intuit but do not know we know. Observation and storytelling are much cheaper than action. Literature/experience and philosophy/argument are cheaper than science/engineering, because emotions, thought, and action describe a sequence of costs. As it must be for any creature that decides action using memory.
