  • The reciprocal grant of, defense of, inalienability of, and Insurance of: Self D

    The reciprocal grant of, defense of, inalienability of, and
    Insurance of: Self Determination by Self Determined means regardless of cost;
    For those who are willing, able, worthy, and sworn to the reciprocal exchange the same.
    Whether by individual or collective word, body, or force of arms.
    By test of Individual Sovereignty in Demonstrated Interests,
    Whether self, personal, kin, cooperative, shareholder, common informal, or common formal;
    And Reciprocity in Display, Word, And Deed,
    By Test of Productive, Fully-Informed, Warrantied, Voluntary Transfer, Free from the imposition of costs on the demonstrated interests of others whether private or common;
    Eradicating the incentive for conflict;
    And Heroism in Duty before Self, Truth before Face, Excellence before adequacy, and Beauty before ordinary, directing dominance expression to the production of commons;
    Maximizing the capitalization of the commons;
    And Limiting us to adversarial markets in the production of goods services and information;
    In all aspects of life: association, cooperation, production, reproduction, commons, polities, and war;
    And courts for the resolution of differences by these laws, and by test of commonality;
    By the incremental suppression of innovations in irreciprocity;
    And legislatures of houses for the classes cooperative markets in the production of commons, by tests of concurrency of sexes, classes, and regions;
    Creating a universal militia, where respect and virtue are obtained by the fulfillment of duty within the limits of one’s competency;
    And as a consequence, the fastest innovation and adaptation of knowledge, science, technology, economy, polity, war, and man, by the continuous evolution of human agency;
    Producing the greatest transcendence of man, in the shortest time, under the greatest prosperity, with the greatest certainty.
    At the cost of continuation of natural selection by suppression of the reproduction of those demonstrating unfitness for all of the above.

    No. 😉 We historically position the culture war as a race issue when it’s a class and culture issue. In other words, the people capable of self regulation and responsibility vs the people who are not. But at present we can’t raise the standards of behavior again such that we can ostracize the unfit for high trust society. Just enabling that will do the job, and we will return to ‘questions of character’ vs race.

    Failing that, we will end up in a race conflict, yes.
    Which is what I”m trying to avoid despite the daily attacks on me and my work by the extreme right.

    Would I prefer an ethnocentric polity? I’m not sure I care. I care about cultural homogeneity because it reduces these petty frictions, conflicts, and culture wars. And of course I prefer ‘white’ culture for the reasons I’ve stated. Even if I prefer the humor of the English over the stoicism of the germans. 😉

    There is a reason for law, contracts, insurance, and a division of responsibility. You may percieve such a thing as you do, but you do not have the power to decide such things – and if you did, you would be compelled to make the same decision as I’ve stated.

    It’s the armorer. The armorer is responsible for compensating for the inexperience of everyone on set. They did not hire a competent armorer, and the weapons were not under her control the entire time, and she did not verify the condition of the weapons and ammo prior to placing it in the actor’s hands – the reason we have armorers is to limit the liability of actors and the studio for these kinds of mistakes. Traditionally armorers and other ‘safety’ professionals are there to carry the burden of responsibility that actors may or may not be capable of.
    Usually, someone has to override the safety personnel. In the past a director of a movie about musician Greg Allman, overrode the safety people and went to prison for it. And Hollywood is full of injuries from stunts – which is somewhat expected.
    We have lost a number of great actors to these issues over the years with the most famous being Brandon Lee on the set of the Crow. Vic Morrow from a helicopter accident. And of course Bruce Willis’ career went south after a head injury from a pyrotechnic during Tears of the Sun.

    It’s inconceivable to you that there is a spectrum of men who have so little regard for the opinions of others, but still take responsibility for their prosperity, safety and care, that the words ego, insecurity, and fear have no meaning and do not exist except as an understanding of the frailty of those more fragile. Our existence consists of identfying the maximum responsibility we can carry, and we judge ourselves by our success at doing the best we can and nothing else, and the enjoyment of doing so in the company those like us. I don’t enjoy making people unhappy. But I accept the responsibility for preventing the harms by those who are less capable than we are, for the good of all whether they understand it or not.
