The dirty secret of western civilization is that while we invented Sovereignty, Reciprocity, Natural Law,and Market Politics that gave us reason and science, we started out as cattle raiders, pirates, and conquerors, and all the ‘goods’ that we gave the world were an accidental byproduct of the only means of governing voluntary organizations of warriors, raiders, pirates, and conquerors: entrepreneurs.

@JulesWarr @neovictorian23 2 – c) the scholistics were horrified by the new world slaughter, and d) the church was exceptionally interested in education and conversion. 3) so it is more accurate to say that colonialism was a continuation of “Heroism, Rule for Profit”, just as was practiced by China.

If I could reduce the question of our age to a simple comparison, the academy is still trying to produce wisdom lit of low offense, while i produce natural law, and the hard sciences produce physical law, regardless of offense. The reason the academy could replace the church was that they produced wisdom lit in every possible fictionalism, and did not produce natural law – and did so because there was a market for falsehood (wisdom lit) an no law prohibiting its sale.

My presumption of best way = continuous competition (empiricism), and continuous success at competition (dynamic markets), which requires continuous defeat of the red queen (regression to the mean), by continuous improvement of the gene pool (kin group eugenics.)

THAT SOY? IT’S ACTUALLY MSG. MSG IS A NEUROTOXIN.
—“The soy protein was a byproduct of soybean oil manufacturing. After oil is extracted from soybeans, the mostly protein hull is boiled in acid, freeing individual amino acids, including glutamate. It’s added to stimulate your umami taste receptors.”—Henry Krinkle

“History is Largely Genocide and Rape”
via outsideness. Despite Reich’s occasional need to stop his otherwise lucid narrative to spew irrational rage against his fellow race-science heretics, the genome expert conclusively demolishes the post-Boasian anthropologists’ conventional wisdom. Reich’s laboratory has found that the old Robert E. Howard version is actually pretty much what happened: —“After 1066, the island race enjoyed a long halcyon era without new invaders raping and pillaging. But all good things evidently have to come to an end.”— History is basically genocide and rape, with a little additional surface detailing. What you are in its biological fundamentals is whoever raped over you last.

How Would You Explain Your Beliefs?”— Well, I .. I don’t use the word ‘belief’
https://propertarianism.com/basic-concepts/–“Curt: How Would You Explain Your Beliefs?”—
Well, I .. I don’t use the word ‘belief’, because I don’t use the concept of ‘faith’, or the concept of ‘justification’. So I would instead, say “this is my understanding, or this is history as I understand it, or these are my understandings.”
(I will explain some other time why resource and opportunity scarcity and lack of agency attract ‘beliefs’ and why resource and opportunity plenty and possession of agency attract ‘understandings’. Or you can ponder that on your own.)
Let’s, for the sake of argument, say that:
1. my work consists of completing that thing we call the scientific method, and systematically applying it to the entire scope of human knowledge.
2. My ambition is to eliminate the propagation of falsehoods in the commons – particularly given that we’ve industrialized lying during the past century, and that this means of lying has been designed to undermine our civilization just as were judaism, christianity, and islam in the ancient world, and marxism, boazianism, freudianism, and Frankfurt and postmodern schools in the modern world.
3. my understanding of history is that western civilization evolved not first but fastest because we required a militia in our territory, and as a byproduct of organizing a militia, discovered what we think of today as scientific (or I call ‘testimonial’) truth – and as a consequence, markets in every aspect of life.
4. The rest of my work explains how to evolve our traditional system away from a second dark age, and continue the process of dragging humanity kicking and screaming out of ignorance, superstition, poverty, disease, and lack of agency.
In historical context, let’s just say that almost all of the world is only partly through the scientific revolution, and that this will help humanity with understanding the ‘rest of the way’.
ITS ALL AVAILABLE
If you want an understanding of propertarianism, believe it or not, ‘its all there for the taking’.
See …
https://propertarianism.com/basic-concepts/
And if you read ….
https://propertarianism.com/2016/01/05/an-overview-of-propertarianism-for-serious-newbies/
… which includes a description of history and western civilization’s unique place in it.
Then you will have a basic understanding. But this is like learning any other discipline – and is very close to learning a mixture of programming and law.
The technical part is quite difficult. But you don’t need to understand it. All you need to understand is that small homogenous nationalist polities operating under what I call ‘perfect government’ will produce the desires of socialists, libertarians, and aristocrats, without providing any of the m with a monopoly that allows them to live parasitically upon the others.

Definitions: Science, Scientism, Pseudoscience, Pseudo-rationalism, and Literature.
THE DEFINITIONS i) SCIENCE: a warranty of due diligence against ignorance, error, bias, and deceit. ii) SCIENTISM : overstating empiricism (correlation), without completing the applicable scope of due diligences, or attempting to apply tests of truth in matters of preference or good. iii) PSEUDOSCIENCE: Testifying to the truth of statements without having performed due diligence against ignorance error, bias, and deceit. iv) PSEUDO-RATIONALISM: Attempts to claim closure where closure does not exist in the logics without appeal to the next higher dimension (empiricism). In other words sophisms, no matter how skilled. Contradictions proposed rarely exist, and almost all questions of philosophy are non-existent bits of fraud due to the use of poor grammar and incomplete sentences. (For example, the liar’s paradox is not operationally possible.) THE ARGUMENT (1) The sciences consist of logical and physical means of falsification in each dimension of possible human action (categorically consistent, internally consistent(logical), externally correspondent(empirical), operationally possible(existential), rational choice(voluntary), reciprocal rational choice(moral), scope-completeness/limits-defined/surviving-parsimony.) (2) the sciences can therefore tell us what is false, and what at present appears to be true (meaning the science allow us to testify to having performed due diligence against ignorance, error, bias, and deceit.) (3) For some reason, we still conflate the logics (tests of constant relations between two or more states, in a set of dimensions), including mathematics (tests of constant positional relations given scale independence) and the deducibility (‘inference’) of relations given the inviolability of those constant relations. Very little of meaning can be said of logic other than it is extremely useful in the falsification of the logical – which is how we use it. Proofs appear to have very little value since given enough time nearly anything can be justified by verbal ‘proof’). (4) Philosophy at present is limited to the exploration and determination of preference (personal), and good (collective). But philosophy has a tragic reputation for nearly universal falsehood outside of those choices. In fact, current philosophy consists largely of self help on one side and a catalog of human errors in intuition on the other. (5) Literature consists of envisioning possible and impossible worlds, for the purpose of exploration, advocacy, and criticism. (6) We tend to conflate literature and logic (philosophy), and conflate History (myth), law (norm), literature (parable), and pseudoscience into theology, just as we inflate literature and reason into philosophy. (7) So while there is value in via positive imaginings (theology, philosophy, mythology) there exists only decidability (conflict resolution) via mathematics, science, history, and reciprocity (law). Ergo, if we must disagree, we must resort only to decidability independent of good or preference. If we seek possibilities, we must resort to literature, myth, and philosophy. Truth can only be produced via-negativa, and choice only by via positiva. Sorry. That’s all there is to the scope of human knowledge. Curt Doolittle The Propertarian Institute Kiev, Ukraine
