    Trump is reorganizing world security and trade. He is doing it quickly and unpleasantly (to get it over with) using security and tariffs – because asking and negotiating didn’t work. To create the world order we have had three phases:

    1 – Bretton Woods Order: Subsidizing the world recovery, and limiting authoritarian communism. (Cost: burning our industrial advantage)

    2 – Neoliberal Order: Subsidizing world finance and ending the authoritarian communism. (Cost: burning our middle and working classes.)

    3 – Trump’s Restoration of Traditional Order: Ending the subsidies, redistributing the cost of world order, whether defense or transport and trade. (Cost: disruption of alliances, economy, and ‘deep state’ – all of which were creations of the Anglo-USA remains of the British empire at the end of WWII.)

    Retrospectively the world wars were the necessary end of agrarian land empires and the emergence of federations of industrial nation states. The generals were correct in their criticism claiming we ended World War II early. We assumed islam was defeated, and we failed to defeat the communists in China and the authoritarians in Russia. While islam will be readily defeated with little effort if exported from our lands, and while russia will shrink dramatically by depopulation. The chinese only slightly less so.

    The end of ’empires’ and the conversion to alliances of Nation States – likely by race and civilization, will continue only after the remaining empires are defeated. The USA assumes they will outlive the ability of these empires as we did the communists. But chinese fascism (not communism) has been so successful at massive industrialization and trade capture that the outcome of the ‘debate’ may still be in question.

    EXPLAINING TRUMPIAN WORLD RESTRUCTURING
    Trump is reorganizing world security and trade. He is doing it quickly and unpleasantly (to get it over with) using security and tariffs – because asking and negotiating didn’t work.

    1 – Bretton Woods Order: Subsidizing the world recovery, and limiting authoritarian communism. (Cost: burning our industrial advantage)

  • (NLI Positioning) Given the shift in the political landscape and the Natural Law

    (NLI Positioning)
    Given the shift in the political landscape and the Natural Law Institute’s (NLI) goal to transition from “edgy” focused on research to “mainstream,” focus on education and activism, your elevator pitch should reflect a blend of your core mission, intellectual rigor, and newfound relevance in a way that resonates broadly. Based on the work, here’s a refined elevator pitch that positions you as a mainstream yet distinctive force:

    “We’re a think tank dedicated to restoring cooperation in a divided age. Through rigorous science and practical solutions, we reform law, economics, and policy to solve today’s crises—because a society that works together thrives.”

    Why This Works:
    1. Mainstream Appeal: The emphasis on “restoring cooperation” taps into a widely felt desire for unity and functionality in a polarized world, making it relatable without sounding radical.

    2. Core Mission: It preserves your focus on solving “the crisis of our age” (division, distrust, institutional decay) while grounding it in actionable domains (law, economics, policy).

    3. Intellectual Credibility: “Rigorous science” nods to your deep, systematic approach (e.g., Curt’s work on epistemology and natural law, Luke’s applied science background) without alienating non-specialists.

    4. Practicality: “Practical solutions” highlights the real-world impact of your ideas (e.g., Brandon’s activism, Noah’s relationship strategies), signaling you’re not just theorists but doers.

    5. Optimistic Vision: Ending with “a society that works together thrives” offers a positive, forward-looking hook that aligns with mainstream aspirations.

    How It Ties to Your Work:
    – Curt Doolittle: Your philosophical and scientific contributions (e.g., completing the scientific method, natural law of cooperation) underpin the “rigorous science” and “reform” elements.

    – Brandon Hayes: His practical, hands-on efforts (e.g., consulting, activism, community-building) reflect the “practical solutions” and “cooperation” focus.

    – Luke Weinhagen: His expertise in risk assessment and self-sufficiency training supports the idea of solving crises with applied, cooperative frameworks.

    – Noah Revoy: His work on resilient families and organizations ties into building a thriving society through cooperation at the personal and institutional levels.

    Alternative Variations:
    If you want to tweak the tone or emphasis:

    – Concise: “We’re a think tank reforming law, economics, and policy with science-backed solutions to unite and strengthen society.”

    – Provocative: “We’re a think tank asking: why can’t we cooperate? Our solutions in law, economics, and policy show how we can.”

    – Vision-Driven: “We’re a think tank building a cooperative future through smarter laws, economics, and policies.”

    Positioning Strategy:
    To solidify this mainstream shift:

    – Highlight how your ideas (e.g., constitutional reform, truthful discourse) align with emerging public demands for transparency, fairness, and competence in governance.

    – Frame your work as a natural evolution of classical liberalism—timely yet timeless—rather than a fringe reaction.

    – Lean into your interdisciplinary team (philosophers, entrepreneurs, strategists) as proof you bridge theory and practice, appealing to both intellectuals and everyday citizens.

    – This pitch keeps your edge—your intellectual depth and systemic critique—while presenting it as a common-sense answer to today’s challenges, perfectly suited for a world ready to embrace your once-“edgy” ideas.

    We gave up on the spectrum of lost boys in 2020. Y’all are mentally unfit and unsalvageable. We just do the science the law and legal activism.

  • I SUPPORT EDGE ACTIVISTS FOR GOOD REASON I am a typical anglo classical liberal

    I SUPPORT EDGE ACTIVISTS FOR GOOD REASON
    I am a typical anglo classical liberal who found insights into economics and law in the libertarian movement. In context, beginning in around 2009, under the obama administration, it was clear that the optimistic conservative movements had failed, and that included the libertarian and anarchocapitalist.

    So during the period leading up to the 2020 election we saw the usual right wing factionalization searching for ideas and advocates. And as expected, with the election, with expected outcome, we saw the radical suppression of the ability to use social media as a means of circumventing the mainstream ‘gated institutional narrative’.

    While I was myself a post-optimistic conservative, I did not expect whatsoever to be someone the right would favor, but my work, precisely because it addressed the taboo subjects, provided them with useful ideas and insights.

    I was one of the first theorists to formally make use of the zero cost of the new social media to use King of the Hill Games as a research technique that circumvented the difference between reported and demonstrated behavior.

    At the time I did not realize that the people most likely to speak the truth of their thoughts would be the ‘harder’ right – meaning people with low-agreeableness personality traits. And I engaged those people because well, they engaged me.

    Our organization’s hypothesis was that the disenfranchised right could be mobilized if directed away from falling prey to leftist ‘baiting into hazard’ and mobilized against the coming suppression of free speech and canceling. What we learned is that this can’t be done.

    Now, In my research work I ran across nearly everyone influential on the right. The right factions need someone who thinks proximally as they do. So they are forever weak, because they are forever factions.

    So, people like Joel were able to capture an audience and educate that audience over time. I enjoyed Joel (and Dillon – Trudiltom) because I thought, that as a young man he was exceptionally talented and had a non-trivial understanding of the history of thought, as well as activism.

    So I encouraged him as well as others who are in other ‘wings’ of conservatism such as Aarvol. Both of these people are ‘the real thing’. And I don’t need to agree with people who are the real thing trying to do the right thing. I figure each of us is moving a subset of the population.

    For myself I consider my myself, my work, and my organization to be engaged in what is effectively mainstream scientific research directed toward legal and policy reform.

    But we will support anyone with moral ambitions even if we consider their solutions a bit more extreme than we’d prefer to advocate ourselves.

    Precisely because the factions each take their own path, and it’s the collective direction that matters more than the exactness of any one faction. -CD
