  • The Four Agreements in Propertarian Context

    (stoicism for women) 1. TRUTH Be impeccable with your word “Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use your power of your word in the direction of truth and love.” – Miguel Ruiz Our word means so much more than we realize. What we say and how our actions line up with what we say are equally important. If you say your going to do something follow through. You will feel better about yourself and have greater respect from others. As well, practice being an encouraging and uplifting presence. Speak with optimism and praise toward people and you will not only change their life but you will change your own. 2. STOICISM Don’t take anything personally “Don’t take anything personally. Nothing others do is because of you. What others say and do is a projection of their own reality, their own dream. When you are immune to the opinions and actions of others, you won’t be the victim of needless suffering” ― Miguel Ruiz How often do you take other peoples’ comments and actions personally? It is easy to assume we have something to do with their motives, but let’s face it; we are all more focused on ourselves than other people. Part of living with greater peace and contentment is realizing that other our worried about themselves more than us. We can’t control other people, but we can control how we respond to them. Don’t create drama in your life by taking things personally. Sorry but just not that important, none of us are! 3. DUE DILIGENCE (SKEPTICISM) Don’t make assumptions “Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life.” – Miguel Ruiz The assumptions we have about other people and how they will react to us can truly hold us back. Maybe there is something you really want to do but are afraid to do it because you assume that other people would be disappointed in you? Or maybe you are unable to fully express yourself because you assume other people wouldn’t understand or would respond negatively. Let go of assumptions! The only way you can test an assumption is to do or say what you desire. 4. DUTY Always do your best “Your best is going to change from moment to moment; it will be different when you are healthy as opposed to sick. Under any circumstance, simply do your best, and you will avoid self-judgment, self-abuse and regret.” ― Miguel Ruiz

    (inspired from elsewhere)

    Since I’m an Operationalist I only consider operational ideas as more than fantasy, and therefore worthy of thinking about. Fantasy is just daydreaming. And sure, I agree with our collective fantasies. The question is, how would we bring about such fantasies as an outcast minority?

    We cannot work with wanting people to believe in our fantasies and possessing our values *we have nothing to sell the feminine males and the feminine underclasses*. Aristocracy (meritocracy) does not sell it rules. It must. Property rights, meritocracy, markets, voluntary exchange, and truth to power are undesirable for the majority. If we cannot convince or sell them, the only thing left then is buying them off or violence, or both.

    So I am only concerned with how to buy them off, or how to use violence, since what we do once we get there is not a matter of dispute. We all agree. Agreement isn’t necessary. A plan of action is.

    I don’t care about what you’d like. We all share the same reproductive interests and therefore wants of our subspecies. And we have the opportunity to speciate. If we speciate we will outperform all the other just as we have in the past.

    All that matters is getting to that point. And as far as I know there is no other means than revolution.

    (Thinking)
    Do we operationally agree with ourselves? In other words, in that moment where you think you have found an idea, answer, decision, or plan, how does that differ from when you listen to and then you agree with someone else? I am not sure it does. I think those two sensation and operations are the same.

    Curt Doolittle updated his status.

    DEFINING POSTMODERNISM

    Postmodernism evolved in response to the failure of marxism socialism – a dogma which was pseudoscientific, and evidentially failed. Having to abandon pseudoscience, Postmodernism attacks reason directly stating that there is no truth and argument – only power. So in effect all debate is meaningless and the only objective is power by any possible means.

    Postmodernism = Relativism = Anti-science, Anti-reason, Anti-truth. Since truth, reason, science, and evidence falsify the marxist-socialist-feminist theology, then postmodernists abandoned all evidence, science, reason, and truth, and pursue power by any means, which includes their obsession with promoting falsehoods in pursuit of power, with which to impose monopoly authority and economic tyranny (forcible redistribution), thereby repeating the jewish > christian > islamic destruction of the ancient world (reason), with jewish > christian > muslim destruction of the modern world (science).

    DEFINITION
    —“A general and wide-ranging term which is applied to literature, art, philosophy, architecture, fiction, and cultural and literary criticism, political criticism, propaganda, among others. Postmodernism is largely a reaction to the assumed certainty of scientific, or objective, efforts to explain reality. In essence, it stems from a recognition that reality is not simply mirrored in human understanding of it, but rather, is constructed as the mind tries to understand its own particular and personal reality.

    For this reason, postmodernism is highly skeptical of explanations which claim to be valid for all groups, cultures, traditions, or races, and instead focuses on the relative truths of each person. In the postmodern understanding, interpretation is everything; reality only comes into being through our interpretations of what the world means to us individually. Postmodernism relies on concrete experience over abstract principles, knowing always that the outcome of one’s own experience will necessarily be fallible and relative, rather than certain and universal.

    Postmodernism is “post” because it is denies the existence of any ultimate principles, and it lacks the optimism of there being a scientific, philosophical, or religious truth which will explain everything for everybody – a characteristic of the so-called “modern” mind. The paradox of the postmodern position is that, in placing all principles under the scrutiny of its skepticism, it must realize that even its own principles are not beyond questioning. “—

    —“WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE QANON HOAX?”—

    1) Great Question: As you said, (a) it’s a hoax (trick) not a fraud because it’s not for consideration(that I know of). (b) I am fairly sure it qualifies as entertainment. (c) I don’t see it as defamation. (d) Not sure it seeks to advocate for involuntary transfer. (e) Not sure it’s a conspiracy.

    2) (f) it’s pretty obvious he’s using the same techniques as ‘mediums’ (readers), (g) and so under a soft interpretation I would say it’s ‘for fun’. (h) but if a jury could be convinced it was causing harm to the informational commons, (which it could be) then: the demand would be for informational restitution, and punishment if the jury saw fit.

    3) Restitution would require what is required in most courts which is full confession (explanation), and equal republication thereof. Remember that a hoax (entertainment) and a fraud (theft) are quite different things.

    4) Remember that the purpose of the demand for truth is merely to suppress fraud for any kind of profit or advocacy of any moral hazard from which direct or indirect gains can be had. The market will determine the indeterminable – just as it always does.
