  • A Prayer Of Heed

    As a soldier i speak the truth. … it is best for soldiering. As a citizen i follow moral law as best i can. … it is best for prospering. As a craftsman i follow my arts the best i can. … it is best for competing. As a father i follow tradition as best i can. … it is best for parenting. As a man i follow reason as best i can. … it is best for deciding. As a sovereign i follow reciprocity as best i can. … it is best for sovereignty. As a warrior i follow by nothing but my will. So how is it that you speak to me? As soldier, on the subject of truth? As a citizen, on the subject of law? As a craftsman on the subject of competition? As a father on the subject of tradition? As a man on the subject of reason? As a sovereign on the subject of reciprocity? Or as a warrior bound by nothing but my will? Because if we speak of other than truth, prospering, competing, parenting, reasoning, or reciprocity – then i follow, and am bound, by nothing but my will.

  • What Do You Learn When Majoring In Political Economy?

    Formal Institutions matter a lot. In particular, the production of legislation and regulation matter a lot. Informal Institutions matter a lot. Particularly religions (mostly bad if not universally bad), Trust in one another to adhere to promises, Marriage age, marriage with inbreeding, and inheritance structures. Sizes of the different Classes matter a lot. The general problem for any people is creating a non-parasitic middle class out of any available underutilized human capital. Demographics matter a lot. As uncomfortable as it is, class structures are genetic in origin, and the more people you have below 100 (the lower your average IQ) the more difficult it will be to produce. Resources are generally a curse, not a benefit. The central problem is corruption, and only northern europeans have managed to eliminate it – and it looks like elsewhere it’s impossible.

    What you won’t learn is that (a) democracy has largely been a catastrophe. (b) the european constitutional monarchies were probably the best governments ever invented. (c) modern governments are luxuries of the low hanging fruit of industrial revolution and petroleum, and will end within the next lifetime or two. (d) modern macro economics consists largely of ‘how much can we deceive people so that they keep spending money they don’t have and can’t recover’.

    Yeah. It’s really like that.

    Cheers.

    by Bill Joslin Individuatization. The east, Buddha says “I found the path across the stream FOLLOW ME”. In the west king Arthur says ” I’ve found the Grail, it’s in the center of the forest. FIND YOUR OWN WAY TO IT”. The east is- follow your father and head the family when he dies” the west says – leave thy father’s house and build your own. It’s what makes us the best
