    WHAT IS THE PLAN TO IMPLEMENT ‘REVOLUTION’?

    (important)

    The fact is that as a philosopher I am not a ‘problem’. But the minute I start talking about operations then I become ‘a problem’. So I will just say that we don’t talk about fight club outside of fight club. That said, if we are successful (meaning me and the other thinkers around me, and the other leadership around us, and the extended movement beyond them), then both the threat will be real enough, and the solution possible enough, and the returns for the labor, working, middle, and upper middle class so substantial, that the ‘talking’ classes will have no choice. Not that they will not fight it. But that they will not be able to win. In the end, I am fairly certain that from the set of available choices I know the outcome that will result out of self interest by the government and the military. We will end up burning the financial sector, the advertising sector, the media, entertainment sector, and the academy, on a pyre of economic and legal disenfranchisement that it will be remembered as an economic version of the french revolution. And hopefully with the same durability in memory for all of history.

    THE ‘LICENSING’ QUESTION

    The problem with licensing etc is that it’s a poor substitute for an Insurer. In other words, you regulate the market going in, rather than regulate the risk of harm. SImilar to the problem of Chinese Bureaucracy – or bureaucracy in general. There is absolutely value to demanding insurance that limits one’s actions to that for which restitution is possible. And there is absolutely value in institutional enforcement of the requirement that men can take no action that they may not pay restitution for. This is a simple test of reciprocity.

    in most of history, the government is the insurer of last resort. So licensing is a cheap (discounted) means of limiting insurance claims (harms).

    And no, we cannot claim rights to engage in any transaction the consequences of which we cannot pay restitution for, any more than we can claim rights to any action that we cannot pay restitution for.

    A license is a government-as-insurer-of-last-resort method of limiting the fraud, consequence, and externalities of actions that those who would seek to ‘learn’ or ‘profit’ by the externalization of risk of their failure. And the very high cost of dispute resolution and restitution.

    An requirement that one is covered by insurance and exposed to the courts, means that the government is no longer responsible for insurer of last resort (regulation), but that professions self regulate or risk prosecution in the courts, and regulation if they fail. This technique seems to work as long as the golden fleece of western civilization prevails: the courts as a priesthood of truth and reciprocity does not fail.

    PENDER STRIKES INTERGENERATIONAL GOLD

    —“Would it be good policy, to provide for parental retirement savings account accessible only after 70, to garnish 2% of the income of only one’s *own* children after they turn 22? This would align the incentives of parents with their kids to keep them debt-free in their youth, with the lowest cost of living with the highest income… and probably encourage looking into alternatives to $$$ college that increasingly has low ROI other than STEM majors.”—Steve Pender

    WISE UP: NATURAL LAW *WILL* SAVE THE WEST AND EMPOWER IT.

    —“I’ve read on natural law and I still don’t understand it. Sounds like a cover all for social pseudo-science that sounds clever.”— A Friend.

    You should have stopped with ‘i don’t understand it’. Because that’s all you can honestly say.

    Either you believe your people are in fact superior and can out-compete others if they eliminate the ability to engage in parasitism, or you admit that they are inferior. There is no way out of it.

    I think every thinking person is aware that this is my point. We discovered and use natural law because we CAN use it.

    But you might also want to look at the evolution of natural law (of cooperation) just as we look at the evolution of physical laws (of nature). And as such you may have an archaic understanding of it.

    So my position is (empirically), that western civilization AND western peoples are superior – although I attribute that superiority to the result of civilization more so than original genetics (i might be wrong).

    And that under natural law, the lesser peoples cannot compete. And instead of preserving our current vulnerability to those lesser peoples, I want to FIX OUR VULNERABILITY by the institution of natural law, so that no other peoples CAN do what they have done, and our ‘betrayers’ internally cannot do what they have done.

    This means we pay the cost of ending Christianity as the germans have tried to at least three times now.

    Because christianity is the door through which we have been defeated twice.

    We cannot leave open that door – or any door that allows the unfit to argue, to act, or to profit.

    THE COMING REGULATION OF FB/GOOGLE (And the Media)

    —“Can you share your thoughts on ”anti-competitive” behaviour of dominant companies? If you have already shared your views on the subject will appreciate a link to your post on the subject . Thanks”— Rakesh Sahgal

    —“So why should we regulate these successful giants?”—Corey Harms

    Search (google), Converse (facebook), Acquire (Amazon), Dispute (Court), Repair (healthcare). What’s Missing? (a) finance/credit/banking, and (b) organization of production.

    In other words, aside from family(sex), invention, financing, and production – all of which require secrecy in the seizure of opportunities, and preservation of the markets, there is no reason why google, facebook, amazon/ups, are not utilities the same way that courts, energy/water/sewer/transportation/telecommunications, healthcare are utilities.

    Why? The problem is that advertising provides the same malincentives (corruption) that using representatives (politicians) provides. And the total spending on advertising in google, facebook, is trivial compared to their asset value as communication platforms. I mean, the cost of operating google and facebook outside of their playtoy (repeated failures) experiments on the shareholder dollar, is trivial.

    Advertising has value (well, truthful advertising does). However, the modification of search results and the modification of facebook content constitutes ‘disinformation’ (deception). And the suppression of free speech on the platforms to provide advertisers with more surface area for advertizing is again, a form of deception.

    As such the problem is eliminating the ability of ‘utilities’ to engage in revenue expansion by means of exploiting users rather than merely requiring advertisers to improve their products, services, and messaging.

    In other words, they need to favor the maximum truth regardless of profits, rather than the minimum truth necessary to maximize profits: they need to be regulated. And they need only be regulated to non-interference (non-aggression).

    As I’ve written about lately in my call for Facebook to be regulated, there is no reason (at all) why facebook cannot allow us to op-into socially taboo subjects and eliminate our ability to opt-into illegal subjects. The problem is that it would provide a degree of precision that advertisers would use to demand lower fees.

    So as far as I know, the future looks to me like there are a lot more public utilities. And I have my target on a lot of companies providing information and credit that need to be raised to the same standard as those companies that provide products and services.

    We are in the early phases of seeing Google, Facebook, Amazon transition into utilities that will be as regulated as any other, and in ways microsoft avoided but they will not. Even if it is microsoft that has been far more evil by intent than Google and Amazon. I still consider FB pretty borderline anti-western.

    NO REVOLUTIONS DON’T HAPPEN SPONTANEOUSLY

    —“revolutions happen spontaneously. why are you typing rather than doing something! ( yadda, yadda, yadda ) “—-

    Empirically test that bullshit. We have a deep literature on every revolution of any consequence in recorded history. They are all constructed. They are constructed gradually over time. They are generally constructed by members of the middle class who figure out how to employ the lower classes in achieving leadership rotation between upper middle class members.

    I sit on a keyboard because Paine used pen and the manual printing press. Hamilton used pen and newspaper. Rousseau used a pen and books; marx used a pen and pamphlets, and adorno used a typewriter and propaganda, and the IRA used typewriter and mimeograph machines, and the muslims use email, web sites, twitter, and instant messaging – you twit.   It’s the 21st century. THIS IS HOW IT IS DONE. Or maybe you weren’t smart enough to watch the progress of the Ukrainian revolution and the islamic revolutions, and the ongoing south american revolutions.

    War is profitable, necessary, and the natural extension of politics. (if you were literate you would know that.

    All organizations over-extend themselves to the point where all rents are maximized and there exists no free capital for the purpose of adapting to shocks or accumulated change.

    Our current condition is the result largely of leftist pseudoscience combined with vast immoral financialization that preys upon the productive people at the expense of their late life survival.

    It’s alterable. Easily. And you know what – the people are going to go along with it assuming we create enough chaos that the state cannot resist.

    And so far I’m the only guy walking the planet with a plan. So learn something munchkin. 😉

    THE PROSPECTS ARE CERTAIN IF YOU WILL FIGHT A BIT.

    We are still armed in America. America will move first. We will make it impossible for the state to resist the reformation of the financial sector – the people will not tolerate their refusal. The financial sector will fight for its life. But, we will win.

    As penalty for that reformation we will demand truth in public speech so that it never happens again. This will destroy the academy, media, state, Cathedral and it’s conspiracy with the NYC financial sector.

    Europe is tragically fragile. Europe will have to follow once they see what we’ve done with the economy.

    My concern has been timing. It’s clear that this will all occur within the next six to eight years. It’s always been clear. I wrote about it in 2004-2006.

    Americans destroy the financial sector. Europe will have to do the same immediately thereafter because it will cause the collapse of germany. Our objective is to eradicate lying in europe AS WELL as in the states.

    Canada will virtue signal her way out of it for a while. Canadians love to lie to themselves more than any other people on earth. Australians are still ‘manly’ enough and will follow eventually.

    I am not sure about russia since russia is on the verge of economic collapse anyway. So I expect her to ‘act in her interests’ during this period of weakness.

    The only solution is to build the Intermarium so that russian folly doesn’t blow up christendom just as her folly with marxism did.

    So it’s all going to play out properly I think. we just have to fight a bit here in the states to make it impossible for the government not to meet our demands – and save or people forever.

    I view ‘conservatism’ as a failure to develop a solution, so acting defensively, and limiting the negative consequences. I view progressivism as a failure to develop a solution, so acting opportunistically and externalizing the consequences. THe problem is, in both cases: ‘why can’t we solve the problem’. And the answer is usually that there is no way to (cost effectively) create the records or information necessary to provide decidability. IMHO there is very little reason today for informational inadequacy or asymmetry.

    THE WORK OF RAISING A REVOLUTION

    (revolution comes)

    The majority of work necessary to raise a rebellion in the present context, is to (a) provide a moral license, a set of demands, a plan of execution, and a means of transition, (b) provide young men a method of profiting dramatically from their efforts. (c) providing the laboring, working, and middle classes a means of being rewarded for their compliance. (d) give a modicum of leadership that gives them direction and license to act in their own and their people’s interests.

    Sacrifice the financial, academic, media, and political classes in front of them like the french revolution and they’ll tune in for the show.
