    —“I”m not immoral. I raised four children as a single mother and….”—

    Yes you are immoral.

    We are talking about your ridicule and shaming of others when you have little if any grasp of history, and certainly no grasp of the common law, economics, science, and comparative civilizations, cultures, and institutions. Especially given the luxury that has been the experience of western women by comparison to all other cultures – back to 4000bc.

    Only children talk in ideals. the rest of us talk in possibilities and costs.

    Property made marriage necessary. Childbearing and strength made separation of duties necessary. An average of 5-6 children only half of whom lived to adulthood made women a malinvestment in education *until* it was no longer a malinvestment. Men freed women of labor *first* before they freed themselves of labor.

    The primary beneficiaries of modernity have been women, not men. For men, we are far better off running around in pickup trucks with a dozen of our friends, eating fresh meat, working 12 hours a week – if that – and hunting each other and animals.

    Civilization was made by men for the benefit of women. Look around the world. Enjoy it. But don’t buy the marxist bullshit. The aristocracy shrunk the size of hte lower classes through upward redistribution of food, and reproduction, while replacing them with downward migration of the middle class. In other words, the aristocracy domesticated the animal man for profit and women reaped the benefits of it.

    We don’t expect you to appreciate what our ancestors have done. On the other hand, we don’t expect you to destroy everything they have made, and we inherited.

    Which is what you and women like you do every time you trash talk western civilization.

    And what you have done is doom men to poverty and loneliness in old age, predatory taxation, the destruction of thousands of years of civilizational capital, for the sake of virtue-signaling falsehoods sold to you as “useful idiots” in the modern era by marxists and postmodernists, just as women were useful idiots that spread christianity and destroyed romany civilization in the ancient world.

    The question isn’t why women don’t have it better. The question is why women have anything at all given their record of destroying western civilization twice now – by acting as infantilized irrational spoiled children.

    ALTRUISTIC PUNISHMENT: “I will bear a cost in order to impose a cost on someone for imposing costs on others.”

    Directly, no one wins, it’s a lose/lose/lose; costs all the way around.

    Indirectly, we all benefit from the maintenance of a normative commons that discourages people from imposing costs, negative externalities, on others or refraining from contributing to benefits, positive externalities, which are shared.

    This is a common human behavior and it is impossible to understand human behavior, or the evolution of societies and polities, without understanding altruistic punishment.

    THE FALL DE-ABRAHAMIZED

    The Fall

    The King built a great garden with high walls and named it Eden. Angry that it was not perfect without innocence, he purchased from slavers, two most beautiful children, and raised them with the birds, animals, fish, fruits in his garden named Eden. The boy he named Adam, and the girl he named Eve.

    The King raised to the boy and the girl in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. And the King commanded them, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly die.”

    Adam and Eve tended the garden, ate all they wanted from it, and knew nothing of the world beyond its walls save the sounds of birds, the rain and the wind.

    The king brought to the garden all the wild animals and all the birds in the sky. He brought them to Adam to see what he would name them; and whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name. So Adam gave names to all the livestock, the birds in the sky and all the wild animals.

    Now among the animals of the garden was an evil serpent, who was jealous of the love of the king for Adam and Eve. The serpent was more crafty than any of the other animals. He said to the woman, “Did the King really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”

    The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but the King did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”

    “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For The King knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be as free men, knowing good and evil.”

    When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it.

    She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

    Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the King as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the King among the trees of the garden. But the King called to the man, “Where are you?”

    He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.”

    And he said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”

    The man said, “The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”

    Then the King said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”

    The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

    So the King said to the serpent, “Because you have done this,

    “Cursed are you above all livestock and all wild animals!

    I send you to the desert where you will crawl on your belly and you will eat dust all the days of your life.”

    To the woman Eve he said, “From my garden I cast you. Know that your desire will be for your husband,and he will rule over you. And with painful labor you will give birth to children.”

    To the man Adam he said, “From my garden I cast you. Through painful toil you will eat food from the land all the days of your life. By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, from it you were taken; for dust you are, and to dust you will return.”

    The King gave garments of skin for Adam and his wife and to cloth them. And the King said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil.”

    So the the king banished Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which they had been taken.

    CRIME AND PUNISHMENT (Sketching this still)

    The strategy of graceful and incremental failure.

    I have been working on ‘punishment’ for quite a while, and have come to the conclusion – obvious in retrospect – that imprisonment is as counter productive as is mixed mass education, and forcible social integration, and that enserfdom and enslavement in self governing work-on-commons camps, farming camps, training camps, where individuals are required to self-maintain, or self improve are better than imprisonment, which is merely expensive, destructive to the mind, and makes people worse than they were when they went in.

    In other words, I do not see punishment beneficial as much as insulating the markets from these people, and providing a society with normative regulations more suited to their abilities.

    It seems that for men in particular, isolation, submission, and repetition do not teach them how to negotiate a position in a dominance hierarchy by cooperation and merit, but the more aggressive the male the worse consequence this has for him. And as the military has shown for thousands of years, the most dangerous men can be tamed by other dangerous men and find a place in a hierarchy where they can succeed.

    It seems like simple infantry units comprised exclusively of ‘troubled males’ who do nothing more than small arms and patrols should once again be used as a method of ‘rescuing’ those men who have lacked discipline.

    It seems that there is vast work in the commons that can be conducted, and that we now possess the technology to equip our ‘serfs of the commons’ such that they either can be tagged and found, or tagged, shocked and found (without resorting to exploding collars so to speak.)

    It seems that as long as a court exists for the camp members, and that ‘video record is everywhere and everywhen’ that ‘outside intervention’ is always possible, and inside appeal to the court of their peers is always possible.

    It seems that as in all things, we can create an internal industry out of reformers out of practical market demand, rather than an external industry out of reforming – unsuccessfully.

    It means that camp-governance can be tribal (by kin). And it might mean that camp life can become voluntary: in that if a man chooses that camp ‘society’ is preferable, that he can stay in it, where he may be valued whereas outside of it he would not be.

    It means that if a ‘hanging’ is necessary, that it will be performed by their peers rather than by superiors in the external market.

    It seems that no electronic communication. No personal visits. Only written communications (on paper) should be permitted since this perpetuates prior anchors and perpetuates crimes.

    It seems that the teaching of mindfulness is probably the most important skill we should work on, since it is lack of mindfulness that leads to the majority of criminal activity.

    In other words, we should provide as much incentive to self maintain, and stay inside as possible, and to let communities form that serve the interests of either reforming or exterminating the individuals.

    DISTRIBUTING DEFECTIVE SPEECH?

    If you sell a product that’s defective, or deliver a service that was defective, were you responsible for the consequences? Of course you were. Because you failed to perform due diligence.

    how do we know whether you failed to perform due diligence out of deception, out of laziness, or out of incompetence?

    This is the basic question. Does it matter if you cause damage intentionally or unintentionally? No. We still hold each other liable for the damage we do.

    What percent of people’s speech (bullshit) do they know is false or half true, or immoral or just wrong (bullshit) but they do it anyway to see if they can get away with it?

    Conversely, what percent of people’s speech have they done sufficient due diligence to insure that they do not spread a falsehood, half truth, immoral, or just ‘wrong’ information?

    What percent of people cannot be trusted to perform that due diligence – simply because they lack the ability?

    How would the world differ if we learned to speak truthfully along with our learning reading, writing, grammar, and arithmetic?

    It would be a very different place.

    SOVEREIGNTY AND DUTY

    Since today’s little spat with a libertarian was another example of how libertarians are using abrahamic pilpul to make excuses for their attempts to circumvent costs of commons I thought I would point out the obvious: that sovereignty cannot exist without duty of reciprocity.

    In other words, no rights are possible without corresponding obligations: reciprocity.

    In other words, you cannot possess sovereignty unless you are willing to fight for your own and that of others.

    Anarchists of any kind, seek precisely that escape.

    (genius)

    by Bill Joslin

    The left and the libertarians, by denying the legitimacy or even presence of sovereignty in the equation, demonstrate the inability to maintain responsible use of liberty. The result being a decay of agency across the whole (lies, inability to hold a territory, inconsistent – incoherent application of law etc)

    I have been expressing this as changes in capital, but Bill Joslin has stated ***AGENCY AS CAPITAL***.

    WHEN YOU SAY THE WEST IS LIBERTARIAN (middle class burgher) RATHER THAN ARISTOCRATIC (upper class military)…

    ….I’m saying that you’re using the term liberty (absent duty of

    reciprocity in defense) and backdating it to sovereignty (including duty of reciprocity in defense) in order to continue the falsehood that what you call the condition of liberty is possible by other than militial reciprocal insurance by every man in the franchise without substitution, to a degree that is determined by market demands, producing commons to a degree that is determined by market demands, and that exit is to exit the duty (Payment) for returns of sovereignty.
