    TO TALEB (THE WESTERN CULT IS SOVEREIGNTY AND LAW)

    (possibly important post for followers)

    Replying to @nntaleb @bryan_caplan @tylercowen

    Nassim: a) Substitute “Warranty and Liability” for “Skin in the Game” and you switch from discourse under colloquial, rhetorical, propter-hoc, low trust, heterogeneous, bazaars, to scientific post-hoc, high trust, homogenous, rule-of-law ‘markets’ proper.

    Nassim: b) I’ve watched you slowly move this direction, but I haven’t seen you include the fact that western civ and all it’s +/-‘s are the result of the primacy of sovereignty and reciprocity in the traditional law back into oral (pre-)history.

    Nassim: c) And so, my reading of history, is that the aristocracy was taught to rule (meaning decide, not direct), and the nobility to govern (direct), and labor to obey. (Indo European Tripartism). Otherwise I’m certain your positioning of the ‘Doctrine’ vs ‘Techne’ is correct.

    Nassim: d) So my read is the law is taught as a craft (practiced) and the ‘liberal arts” are taught as doctrines, and we are wasting a phenomenal amount of money not separating Techne(craft), Religion(obedience), and Law(Rule). Meaning the problem is the Academy (secular church).

    Nassim e: (Closing) So my intuition is that we all carry our cultures with us and possibly to some degree in our genes, and that this cultural difference is what you are intuiting, but expressing in literary, rational, and mathematical rather than western (legal,scientific) form.

    (from elsewhere)

    1 – Russians murdered millions of ukrainians, ukrainians didn’t murder millions of russians.

    2 – Russians invaded ukraine with ‘little green men’, ukraine didn’t invade russia.

    3 – Ukrainians west of the Dnieper were prosperous, peaceful, members of the Austrian and Polish empires, and had their assets taken, their property taken, the graves despoiled, their traditions and culture destroyed, by russians, but ukrainians didn’t do that to russians.

    4 – Russians (The Kingdom of Muscovy) conquered east ukrainians (today’s southern russians) and converted them to russian speakers, or ‘resettled them’. Ukrainians didn’t do that to russians. (Most russians do not understand that southern russians spoke ukrainian.)

    5 – Russians relocated ethnic russians to eastern european lands in order to put (underclass) people who could easily be ruled (who had been sefs just one or two generations before), into lands with middle classes (who could not be easily ruled) and destroyed those middle classes. Ukrainians didn’t do that to russians.

    6 – Russians used secret police and prisons to ‘make people disappear, and nearly everyone in ukraine today has a relative in living memory who was ‘made to disappear’. Ukrainian’s didn’t do that to russians.

    7 – Russians set eastern europe back a century, failed, and caused devastation across the former (((soviet))) empire, and have neither solved the problem of ukrainian oligarchs, but put the people into greater submission to them.

    8 – Russians paid 200 uah to poor people to vote for Yanukovych and then paid Yanukovych to undermine the ukrainian military so that the country could be easily conquered – ukrainians didn’t undermine russians so that they could be easily conquered, or pay to interfere in their elections. (russians did that themselves).

    9 – Ukrainians are governed by the Oligarchs (gangsters) who are jewish and russian, and the government is just a proxy for the corruption. Ukrainians want to follow the poles into peaceful transparent democracy, but russians want to force ukrainians into remote russian corruption instead of Intermarium (polish-ukrainian) conservative democracy. (Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic are slowly developing the Intermarium, and Ukraine will very likely join them as soon as poland decides to expand its military.

    10 – Ukrainians do not speak russian but ukrainian, just as poles do not speak ukrainian. Ukrainians and poles, the baltics, and the Old Europeans (Southern Slavs) are culturally european, and russians were conquered by and then conquered their mongol rulers – and the mongolian ethics. Muscovites and Kievans are only distant relations. Muscovites were the barbarians that conquered kiev the same way that the mongols had.

    Because I understand russian struggles, love russian culture, and respect russian people, and very much understand that russia is right to resist democracy and the (((disease))) of ‘progressivness’ I am a russophile by any measure.

    But until russians understand that their ‘mythos’ was as bad as the mongols, and that the germans were in the right to oppose the soviets, and that russia did far worse to themselves and the world than the germans ever imagined doing, then this russian fantasy will continue.

    Europe ends at the Dnieper until russians learn to speak the truth no matter what the consequences, because that is what separates the ‘naive’ west, from the ‘cruel and dishonest’ east.

    Clean your own dirty house first. Then the world will stop trying to contain you.

  • The Impossibility of Anarchy

    THE IMPOSSIBILITY OF ANARCHY 1) You can only create a polity with liberty using violence, and 2) economic necessity dictates that you can only produce sufficient violence to repel competitors with sufficient wealth, and; 3) you can only produce sufficient wealth with commons. 4) And you can only produce commons if people cannot defect from payment for those commons in both service (fighting) and resources. In other words: You can’t produce a libertarian polity that can survive market competition for territory with other polities, which is why there have never existed such polities except on the frontier of a state powerful enough to prohibit competitors to the territory, yet insufficient wealth to settle, police, govern, and provide infrastructure for it. Hence why the only examples of antyng approaching a libertarian fantasy are borderlands of empires. We develop taxation and governments to preserve our interests. The question is not whether we need taxes (fees), and governments(production of commons), but how to prevent their misuse. And in the prevention of misuse since we rarely know the right answer, and we are all cognitively biased, the only solution is markets in the production of commons.

    Libertarian ethics derive from hebrew diasporic pastoralist ethics (those than can run away) whereas western sovereign ethics derive from western indo european agrarian militia ethics (those that remain present) – which is a difference between the short term temporal and longer term intertemporal. which is why libertarian ethics lare limited to volition, not like western,inclusive of reciprocity. In other words, under western indo european ethics you warranty your words and deeds, whereas hebrew ethics are designed to be irreciprocal, and without warranty on purpose – as is stated in jewish law. Otherwise, if you don’t follow ethics of warranty, and instead if you follow jewish ethics, then there is no prohibition on creating and profiting from moral hazard (parasitism). And so if they follow irreciprocal ethics a group can specialize in profiting from moral hazard (parasitism), like lending usurious money to poor people, engaging in the slave trade, blackmail, slumlording and tax collection. Whereas moral peoples specialize in the lower returns on warrantable and reciprocal goods that do not create incentive to retaliate (kill). WHich is why jews in Europe had such a problem, (and had population bottlenecks). A low trust immoral parasitic population hosted by a high trust moral productive population will always lead to accumulated grievances and explosive retaliation. But, none of us can look i the mirror at our ancestors and recognize them for their criminality – although westerners since Burke certainly have done so. Most other civilizations lack the intellectual honesty to look in the mirror at their ancestors and understand that their punishments were earned. In the case of the west our adoption of christianity demilitarized and fragmented europe to the point where it was the viking invasions that restored the western ethos, and the reintroduction of greek thought that lead to it’s return to it’s traditional vector after the damage of the abrahamic dark ages.

  • THERE EXIST NO RIGHTS Rights do not exist between peoples. Power exists. Rights

    THERE EXIST NO RIGHTS

    Rights do not exist between peoples. Power exists. Rights are exchanged between kin for the purpose of cooperation in the pursuit of wealth and power. Everything else is just religious wishful thinking – the kind of thinking that makes people poor.

    Listen. I am gonna go to my grave railing against the charades of (((libertarianism, communism, and neoconservatism))) and advocating +++Sovereignty, Rule of Law, and Market Government+++ instead.

    The fact that people could be fooled by the fallacy of capitalism vs communism instead of rule of law vs rule of discretion is just evidence of how susceptible people are to framing.
