  • Why Is P a Shift in Your Thought?

    Jan 26, 2020, 8:33 AM (from mythology to theology, theology to philosophy, philosophy to science, science to propertarianism.) Like most people you are used to moral, philosophical (rational and frankly sophomoric) argument from those thinkers. These methods merely confirm what you intuit. They don’t do anything to falsify what others intuit differently. P is falsificationary, and so far, impossible to refute (just as is bounded rationality and rational choice). In other words, I don’t do work that makes you feel good or sells you, I explain why the left lies and how they lie and how to write the law so that they can’t engage in lying, fraud, and misrepresentation. Unfortunately, one of the casualties of that effort is the sophomoric nonsense from the Tribe’s second attempt at conquering western civlization: marx-communism-socialism, Trotsky-neoconservatism, rand/rothbard-libertarianism, Friedman-feminism, and derrida-postmodernism. And the other casualty (unfortunately) is judaism, christianity, and islam, all of which make use of the same technique of deception – of which you are a rather obvious victim. Now, if you’re used to literary moralizing (sophism) then transitioning to a formal operational via-negativa logic isn’t going to be easy for you. And it’s to be expected that it’s hard. If you have studied physics or economics or law it’s easier. If you know the philosophy of science it’s easier. If you know mathematics reasonably well it’s easier. But you need at least one of those things as an anchor for me (or others) to start from, otherwise we have to start in kindergarten so to speak and that’s not fair because it’s too much work. Once you know the grammars we can teach you testimony. Once you know testimony we can teach you property in toto. then we can teach you eprime, complete sentences, in operational language using all of the above. Then we can move on to acquisitionism, compatibilism, class structure by the three means of coercion. Somewhere along that series you will get it. And you will never be the same again. Because everything in the world of psychology, sociology, politics and war becomes trivially clear.

  • Exposing the False Morality of The Fundamentalists with The Truth of Scientific Morality

    Jan 28, 2020, 9:55 AM EXPOSING THE FALSE MORALITY OF THE FUNDAMENTALISTS WITH THE TRUTH OF SCIENTIFIC MORALITY (important)

    —“Without God who cares. Women can lie and men can harass them. There are endless ways for people to be unfair and cruel. Without the conscience that comes with a Christian civilization people will beg for tyranny to live in peace.”—Bill Amy Grady

    If that was true then there would only be one interpretation of christianity instead of hundreds. Astrology, Numerology, and Scriptural Interpretation are the three most common forms of sophistry and deceit. And the jewish method of pilpul (lying by sophistry) was institutionalized by the three ‘books of pilpul’. Instead, there is only one law with two faces, and that is the law of reciprocity: in the negative: prohibitions – that is the contribution of european man; and on the inverse, the law of exhausting interpersonal forgiveness : in the positive: demands – that is the contribution of christianity. The rest of christianity is lies and parables that offer false promises of unwarrantable rewards, in an impossible life after death to simple illiterate people lacking knowledge of reason, logic, science, economics and mathematics. The Jewish method is expressly evolved for the purpose of profiting from free riding, parasitism upon the dominant males, and undermining using false promise and deceit – by demanding verbal or intellectual skills. The islamic method is the same form of parasitism but depends on blind imitation rather than verbal or intellectual skills. The christian method was just, like communism, a false promise to the underclass, in the semitic war against the european, iranic, egyptian, and north african peoples. There is but one law of life: persistence of that form of organization we call life by the defeat of entropy and capture of energy by doing so – and the only difference between the physical world and the human is that we have memories, and can account for debts and credits between each other with extraordinary precision. And as long as our accounts are in balance with one another, or at least as long as we can foresee our accounts balancing, then we can continue to cooperate and to take risks to cooperate. Truth: you use god as a shield by which you can ignore other humans, fail to compromise with other humans, fail to face your worth to other humans, fail to join the collective efforts of other humans, and instead to descend into self centeredness, self-congratulation, ignorance and obedience like the muslims, all while claiming you are doing good. But you are just the man praying while others do the work: free riding on the efforts and honesty of better men.

    The idea that primitives were ‘human’ is a postwar invention that accompanied the suppression of research on eugenics. Over the past decade the science has restored the uncomfortable truth: inequality, and wars result from the differences between races, subraces and tribes.

  • What Does Curt Use for Strategic and Military Research?

    Jan 29, 2020, 3:10 PM (go where everyone goes) Most of what I get is from google alerts on keyword searches. Otherwise I only follow data driven organizations: RAND, SSI (Army War College), CSIS, CNSAS, CIA. (The rest are – honestly – bullshit policy bloggers searching for donors.) I use CIA Fact Book, and Global Firepower sites regularly. To find things quickly I use the reference links in wikipedia. BUILDING A LIST Take this next list. Go to google alerts. create an alert for each of them. (Really. that’s all I do). Repeat for Russia, middle east, china. If you pick Europe you will just find nonsense.) THINK TANKS NORTH AMERICAN DEFENSE LIST (80+)

    Open Think Tank Directory
    GOOGLE ALERTS Then pick some keywords, to make another set of alerts: I use military, strategy, forces, infantry, report, and about a dozen others in various permutations. Russian think tanks are useful for me. So I follow ЦСР (Center for Strategic Research). ЦAСT Centre for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies. There are also a number of bloggers that are quite good. For overviews for newbs follow Shervan’s Caspian Report on Youtube, Stratfor, George Friedman, and of course, Peter Zeihan for the Stratfor version with humor and irony.
