Make women property again

Women are different.

Very different.

This is not a game post. This post is about the application of Game and Evolutionary Game Theory to religion and political organization.

If you look at the landscapes we create everywhere, it is apparent that we long for our ancestral savannah, the lightly treed environment we entered when we came down from the trees and stood off the lions. And women long for their ancestral environment of successful reproduction. Women reproduce most successfully as property, men least successfully as property, and their behavior makes no sense unless you understand this.

As I have so often repeated: If a man is defeated, conquered and subdued, perhaps because his tribe and country is conquered and subdued, he is unlikely to reproduce. If a woman is defeated, conquered and subdued, she has escaped from defect/defect equilibrium, escaped from prisoner’s dilemma, and also been transferred from weak men and a weak tribe to strong men and a strong tribe, and is therefore likely to be highly successful at reproducing.

Women are always shit testing you. That is why they are so disruptive and destructive in the work place. But they are not really playing to win. They are playing to be subdued by a strong man.

Female aggression against men, shit testing, is fundamentally different from male aggression, because a man is playing to win, and if it looks like he is going to lose, seeks a compromise to lose without losing too much face, while a woman immediately heads out on a thin limb hoping it will break under her. Thus a woman is most apt to dig in her heels bitterly, stubbornly, and utterly intransigently on an issue where her position is completely indefensible, stupid, self destructive, and illegitimate. If on the other hand she has some legitimate issue with you, she will get angry with you without telling you what her anger is all about. You are supposed to divine it by mental telepathy, whereas if a man has some legitimate point giving rise to a dispute with another man, he will lay it out so plainly that a dog could understand it.

The only time a woman will plainly tell you her grievance is when it is absolutely ridiculous and completely illegitimate.

A man is playing a conflict with a man to win by getting the issue resolved in his favor. A woman plays a conflict to discover who is the stronger, to discover if you are capable of frightening and intimidating her, and thus will always play a conflict more intransigently than a man ever will. This is why men and women can never be friends. When you have a buddy, you will engage in mutual domination and mutual submission, as for example friendly insults and the slap on the back. With women, it is dominate or be dominated. That is why if they have grievance with you, will not tell you what it is, but will instead command you to divine it by mental telepathy, or perhaps by confessing to a long, long list of your sins, hoping for her to tell you which one is the right one.

Women are incapable of performing sexually, of enjoying sex, or even of performing the courtship dance, unless they are at least a little bit dominated and intimidated. Not all women are into outright bondage and beatings, but all women without exception are into subtler forms of domination and submission. All women are like that. No woman will get it on with a man that she is not afraid of. No Women Are Like That. They just physically do not respond unless they feel that they could be compelled. There are no women as the blue pill imagines them to be, no women as they are depicted in very single video of courtship and mating. None. Not in our society, and not in trad conservative societies. This is the big lie from the media that everyone is immersed in from childhood.

Many an emperor with a thousand conservatively raised concubines, and unquestioned authority to execute any of them or all of them for any reason or no reason at all, has had women troubles, and many an empire has fallen from women troubles.

A woman will always attempt to top from the bottom, no matter how much she is into domination and submission. A game of pretend domination and pretend submission just is not an adequate substitute for the real thing, so if you are playing a domination and submission game, she will always test and provoke you into making the game a reality by topping from the bottom.

Women have not been subject to selective pressures on their sexual behavior since we looked rather like apes, because populations that allowed female sexual choice disappeared. The men were disinclined to invest in children, or defend land.

Long ago we came down from the trees and out onto our now beloved savannah. If you don’t have some handy trees, need to be able to stand off lions, so you need reasonably sized group of males with strong male/male cohesion. And the males need to have to have some mighty strong motives to defend females and young. And, out on the savannah, no fruit, or considerably less fruit. The stable isotope ratios in the bones of all our hunter gatherer ancestors that walked, rather than swung through the trees, shows that they ate high on the trophic chain, deer, fish, and other predators. Humans do fine on an all meat diet, die on an all veggie diet. (Vegan without fish, eggs, cheese, and milk)

We seem to be adapted to eating a substantial proportion of other carnivores, hence the health advantages of fish. We are not true omnivores, because we cannot survive on an all vegetable diet, and we are adapted to getting a significant portion of our meat from other carnivores. We have been top predator for a very long time. The stable isotope ratio in old bones generally shows that we ate higher in the food chain than wolves or big cats – possibly we ate fish, which ate other fish. Most of these bones long predate the invention of nets and fishing lines, so possibly we ate wolves and lions.

Only males hunt, because adult males are pre-adapted physically and psychologically for violence. So women and children relied on the mighty hunter bringing home the bacon. And if you have defect/defect equilibrium, a society of players and bitches, well, the women can eat by whoring themselves out, until they are past fertile age, whereupon they starve or get eaten by lions, but out on our beloved savannah, their bastard children are going to die. From the isotope ratios in old bones we can infer that women have been property for a very long time.

And the simplest way to end defect/defect equilibrium is that the males assign the women according to deals they make with each other, and let the women think that the top alpha assigned the women. If the women get a say in it, defection is on the table.

point deer, make horse, 指鹿为马

Senator Roark in “Sin City”:
“Power don’t come from a badge or a gun. Power comes from lying. Lying big and getting the whole damn world to play along with you. Once you’ve got everybody agreeing with what they know in their hearts ain’t true you’ve got ’em by the balls.”

They are sons of the father of lies, and their shibboleth is always a big lie.

So we need to make our big shibboleth a big truth that contradicts one of the big lies. The biggest and most shocking truth: That the sexual nature of women is maladapted to emancipation, that emancipation prevents them from reproducing and makes them unhappy. That as individuals, and as a society, we need to make women property again.

Each man must be King under his own roof.

And we need a national sovereign, and a national high priest, that backs the sovereign and high priest under every roof.

That women need to be property, for the good of society, and because each of them is individually seeking a man strong enough to make her property, that men need to make them property, is the best shibboleth to organize around. All faiths that support that can work together. All conflict between males is always ultimately conflict over women, so faiths that fail to support propertization of female sexual and reproductive services will always suffer internal and external conflict, leading to holiness spirals, while faiths that support male property rights over women and support propertization of loose women, are less apt to get into internal and external conflicts.

vive la différence

The largest difference between men and women is inside. We pursue very different reproductive strategies, which shapes everything we do in life.

The evil form of this strategy is players and bitches, defect/defect equilibrium, the lek mating pattern. The virtuous form of this strategy is husband and wife, marriage 1.0, eighteenth century marriage, which is now illegal. All happy families are quietly and furtively eighteenth century. All happy families are alike. There is only one way that works, only one form of cooperate/cooperate equilibrium between men and women. Women and dogs need a master, and are never happy if they lack a master, will always behave very badly if they think they are the alpha of the pack.

Proscribing honor killing is unwise, because good men will engage in honor killing anyway (there is always a handy swamp or ocean) and because you are pressuring men to adopt the player strategy so that they will not feel the compulsion to kill adulterers.

If state, church, society, and family, do not impose strong control over women’s sexual and reproductive choices, we get defect/defect equilibrium, resulting in failure to reproduce and dysgenic reproduction, and resulting in only a small minority of men getting all the pussy, thus demotivating the vast majority of men. If you own a woman, you want a nice house and a nice garden. A third world peasant with a wife and children is apt to live in a very nice mud and bamboo hut (it is very impressive what can be done with bamboo and a machete) with a very nice garden while a first world involuntary celibate is apt to live in a tiny, but high tech, box with crap furniture, even if he has a very high salary. The third world peasant with a wife and children has a much larger, more comfortable, and more attractive living space with nicer furniture than the first world webmaster in his little box, because the involuntary celibate, despite his affluence, does not care about his space and his furniture.

Christianity and sexuality

Everything in the bible about sex is a commentary, explanation, or clarification of the final commandment’s application to sex, marriage and children:

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour’s.

And nothing the bible says about sex makes sense except in this context. If people jump on a line somewhere in the bible and start holiness spiraling on it so that it swallows and destroys the commandments, they are doing what the Jews did to get themselves exiled from Israel.

In a social environment where women are unowned and are frustrated by lack of ownership, old type Christian rules are inapplicable to banging any women you are likely to meet, because old type Christian rules are intended and expected to apply to women in the possession of some man. Fornication is making use of another man’s daughter without his permission, adultery another man’s wife or betrothed. But in today’s society, if a father attempts to restrain the sexual activity of his nine year old daughter, Child Protective Services is apt to take his children and his house away, lose track of his daughter, and sell his sons to a “married” gay couple. (Demand for prepubescent children to sexually exploit is primarily demand for small boys, so Child Protective Services cannot get much of a bribe for whoring out his nine year old daughter, so they leave it to her to whore herself out.)

Furthermore, the Old Testament does not make clear, but the Lord Jesus Christ does make clear, that the law and the prophets are to be interpreted and applied in such a way that they work, that they accomplish their intended purposes, have the intended effect. The spirit, not the letter. By their fruits you will know them.

Incel and female immorality is not the intended effect, is the grossest possible violation of the commandments.

Christianity leading to inceldom, is like the Jews getting so fussed about the commandment on contamination by blood, that in order to avoid walking on ground on which chicken blood had been spilled, they coveted and seized the land that the landord had leased to a Greek, and when the Roman cops came to restore order and respect for property rights, they got themselves covered in the wrongfully spilt blood of a Roman cop who was impartially doing his duty to enforce a fair and necessary law that protected Jew and Greek alike. And thus it came to pass that for holiness spiraling the letter of the law at the expense of the spirit, the Jews got expelled. As prophesied, they were expelled for violating the Lord’s commandments. The spirit and intent of the law on contamination by blood refers to kind of contamination by blood that contaminated Lady Macbeth. References in the Old Testament to this law, as for example: “their heads were covered in blood” are in context referring to the kind of blood that Lady Macbeth had on her, the kind of blood you get on you by killing a cop who is performing his duty in the face of danger, not the kind of blood that gets spilled on the ground when you kill a chicken.

Incels are usually incel in part because they are violating the laws of Gnon, and if they invoke Christianity to justify their inceldom, it is usually because they are weak and afraid, not because they are Christian.

Christians who apply old type Christian rules, intended for a society where a woman’s sexual and reproductive services were clearly under control of some man, intended for a society where patriarchs acquired wives for their sons from other patriarchs, are in our collapsed society, violating, not, observing, the commandments.

In a society that does not respect or protect ownership of land, a farmer must still grow potatoes, and to do so, has to anarchically and illegally take possession of some land, breaking numerous erratically, unpredictably, arbitrarily, and infrequently enforced laws and regulations in the process.

And we must anarchically and illegally take possession of women.

Old type Christian law on sex prohibits acting as if in defect defect equilibrium. But we are, in fact in defect/defect defect equilibrium, and a man can only get out of it by conquest and taking possession.

The only way you can start out with a woman in cooperate/cooperate is if your patriarch is acquiring her for you from another patriarch with whom he is in cooperate/cooperate, who was typically someone who was close kin, or in the the same hierarchy of authority.

And, since you are starting out in defect/defect, it is impossible to conquer and take possession, except by successfully acting within the defect/defect rules. You have to bang them, or else they are going to move on. All women are like that. Including all supposedly good Christian wife material women.

In an orderly society, you first acquire a field, and then you plough it. In a disorderly society, you first plough it, so that other people will know you have a reason to defend it, and think you have a decent chance of succeeding, and then you eventually own it when no one manages to take your crops away from you, or graze his horses on your standing corn. Which likely requires you to have a weapon handy during ploughing and harvest. Gnon does not intend you to starve, and he does not intend you to be incel. You are required to turn the other cheek and walk the extra mile, but by the time that it is time to plough that field, you are already out of cheeks and have walked far too many miles.

Fornication is a particular application of the final commandment.

When you apply those commandments, and read people applying them to sex and family, then unless those people are moderns you need to read them in the social context that the unit of society is the household not the individual, and that men are not women and women are not men.

The prohibition of incest and divorce do not follow directly from the ten commandments, but adultery and fornication does.

And the trouble is that giving fornication a meaning that does not follow from the ten commandments leads directly and immediately to breaking them, as when the Roman Catholic Church before the French Revolution so easily ruled that a marriage was nullified because the woman had not really given consent, or when it encouraged daughters to defy fathers and wives to defy husbands.

This parallels the Jews of the time of Jesus holiness spiraling the law on blood, so that they could wrongfully spill blood, and claim they were acting in accordance with the law of Moses.

To understand what old type Christians meant by whoring, fornication, and adultery, we cannot look at their words, for the meaning of their words has been changed underneath us. We should instead look at what people of that faith who had power, who had legitimate authority, who used that language, actually did, in order to understand what those words actually meant when the faith was live and in power.

They did not suppress men from having sex with unowned women, or even suppress unowned women from having sex. They suppressed unowned women from being unowned. The biblical penalty for sex and/or abduction of a married or betrothed woman is death. The biblical penalty for abduction of a virgin is indissoluble shotgun marriage. The biblical penalty for abduction of a unmarried, unbetrothed, non virgin …

The story of Tamar and Jacob makes no sense at all if we suppose Tamar was going to be burned alive for prostitution or sex outside of marriage. Makes perfect sense if we suppose she was going to be burned alive for sex outside of and in defiance of the framework of male property rights in women’s sexual and reproductive services.

Similarly, consider how the authorities in late eighteenth century, early nineteenth century Australia dealt with the problem of a whole lot of casual sex going on. They applied swift shotgun marriage, and supported the authority of the husband in those marriages by disturbingly drastic means. They did not punish men or women for having sex in a beach party. They made women get married, and punished them for speaking back to their husbands.

If you give the biblical laws on sex and family, the biblical condemnation of adultery, fornication, and whoring, an interpretation that presupposes that men and women are interchangeable, and that families do not exist, only individuals, you are turning the Law upside down, resulting in a blue pilled Christianity that tells men that God does not want them to have wives and children.

      Your pussy will guide you far better than I can – except that your pussy is apt to point to mister very wrong – towards some fellow with great pre-selection – who keeps being pre-selected by girls hotter than you. If you can ignore that bad steer, you will be fine – your alpha radar is undoubtedly great, except that, just as our taste buds and food appetites are tuned for a world where sweet things are in very short supply, and the opportunity to have a meal does not happen very often, your alpha radar, like your tastebuds, is apt to be overwhelmed by ready availability.

      Chicks have absolutely no problem finding suitable males. Your problem is that you can rather too easily find unsuitable males.

      Men and woman are apt to gain weight because tasty sweet fatty food is available twenty four seven – and women are apt to wind up single and childless in their thirties because in their twenties mister one in thirty is available with a click on their phone.

      You need no help or advice in finding a suitable man. Your problem, rather, is avoiding finding no end of unsuitable men.

    Hello Jim. Been reading your blog for some time. I have great troubles with my wife and need your advice. Location: Russia. I’m 23, she’s 30. We started living together 3 years ago, married last year. She was a virgin when we started dating. Ever since a few months into living together, she’s been extremely jealous, controlling, making rows, scandals, she ‘cancelled’ all my friends. She’s constantly complaining I don’t give her enough attention, never protect her (against my mother’s completely inoffensive words, for instance, which also ‘cancels’ my parents). Her scandals make me want to die, literally. I tried ‘fixing’ her using game methods – nothing worked, tried escalating scandals – it had her almost jump out of the window and set the flat on fire. I will not divorce her myself because I took her as a virgin and consider it a great sin to leave her as a consequence. Moreover, she would likely jump out of the window and set the flat on fire if I do. But I do not want to live like that.

    This relationship is not in the Game reality, it seems. She complains of not having enough love and attention constantly, is jealous of every woman everywhere, constantly, and yet controls me, makes hours-long excruciating rows.

    There’s another perspective to it. I cheated on my first serious girlfriend (that I took the virginity of) and consequently broke up with her when I was 17. Then I had a girl who cheated on me (she hinted on it) and broke up with me. That girl never made any rows, though. Then I had my present wife who has by now literally broken my soul, enslaved and emasculated me, and has me asking God to kill me as soon as possible. I’ve recently come to think that these two relationships are my punishment for the first girl, for that I cheated on the girl whom I took as a virgin. Seems logical. I betrayed a virgin and offended God – now am betrayed, emasculated, broken. It’s hell on earth, truly.

    Jim, what can I do?

    • jim says:

      > and yet controls me

      There is your shit test right there.

      > enslaved and emasculated me

      Massive failure to pass shit test.

      None of her grievances are actual grievances. She thinks they are, but they are irrelevant. Her actual grievance is you failing your shit tests.

      Women do not want slaves, they want masters. This is not complicated. She needs a smack, and you need a night out with the boys. Tell her you are going to enjoy some female company, because her company is unpleasant, but what God has joined together no man may put asunder, so you will reluctantly stick with her, but are no longer going to tolerate her nonsense.

      Now frequently I am bad, and my wife reminds me that I am being bad. I should listen to her, and do. But to female eyes, that is failing a shit test. And so she doubles down, whereupon I remind he what the bible says about how wives should handle wicked husbands. And if she still goes on I tell her to shut up, get out of my sight, and do some gardening. She obeys. She tried disobeying once. I passed that shit test.

      • Peter V says:

        I was always afraid of going right to the end, to the smack. I used to forcibly hold her (that didn’t help, only made her angrier), but just couldn’t go further.

        If I leave the flat when she’s in that beastly state and won’t answer her phone calls and return in the end, I’m afraid she would tear apart, burn, or throw away all the things dear to me and then do it with what things she can reach in our rented flat. I already keep some of the notebooks in the rucksack I take to work. Twice she tore my books and notebooks (I write) that were very important to me and threw it in the rubbish to let me ‘feel the pain she felt’.

        I used to be quite good at game when I was younger, quite effortlessly. Don’t know what happened. Perhaps I never saw such shit tests. Perhaps she’s just insane. Perhaps she’s my punishment.

        Anyway, I’ll try pass the shit test. No other way out now for me.

          She wanted a beating, and you failed to give her what she needed and wanted.

          Back up your data on the quiet, then give her another opportunity apply that shit test, and this time respond to it appropriately.

          When she destroys your data, or otherwise behaves destructively, spank her backside red. If she makes it difficult to spank her and you accidentally hit her in a place that might cause harm, tie her up then spank her backside red.

          Every shit test by one’s wife should be treated as what it is: An opportunity to uphold the proper relationship of husband and wife.

          > Perhaps she’s just insane.

          Lack of children, and the man in their life failing shit tests, will drive any women insane. Needs beating and pregnancy. Every shit test is an opportunity. After spanking, get to work on giving her a child. Best time for getting women pregnant is after trumping a shit test.

          • Peter V says:

            What if I divorce her nevertheless? Will it offend God? Will I have it even worse afterwards?

            I’m at the point where divorce seems the only way out. I don’t want her to be the mother of my children now that I’ve seen how evil she is in subtle ways, like giving my mother insulting presents (meant to be some kind of revenge for past grievances) and not telling me anything about it. That could be me not passing the shit tests, I know, but at that point I don’t think I can handle her. This time, with this woman, it’s too hard. I just want to run away.

            • Kunning Druegger says:

              Peter. Comrade. For the love of God. Let her scream and bitch, keep your face impassive, do not respond with more than a Yes or No, let her work herself up to a good lather, then bend her over your knees and paddle her. Spank her hard. Tell her that she is making it impossible to do the only thing in the world you actually want to do, which is be her man. Keep your smacks on the ass; this is not intended to hurt her, or damage your property. Women’s reset button is in the head, but you have to prime the reset via the pussy or ass. If you can’t fuck sense into her, you have to paddle it in. Spank her until her rage turns to wailing, then stand her up, pat her on the cheek (this is the signal to her brain that tells her ‘he could have slapped/hit my face but he didn’t, because he loves me and owns me’), tell her to clean herself up, and that you are going out to be alone for a bit, and that you’ll be back at a specific time and you would like to have a “discussion.” Make sure you are back at precisely when you said you would be, and just tell her you love her and you want things to be better, but you can’t do it alone. DON’T speechify or go on at length, that’s what she’ll be expecting.

              This is more than just punishment or aggression release. This is sending a withering flurry of confusing, masculine signals at her brain. Believe it or not, you will be stimulating her male attention receptors, and her female lizard brain will respond as if she is getting attention from many different males at once, which will delight and confound her. She will crave one male’s attention, and that needs to be the “last” guy, the one who paddles, and the one who politely demands.

              Your woman is languishing in the misery of the unloved. This may be justified, but it probably isn’t. Women do this when they don’t have children to care for. Women will always envision the universe with themselves at the center. Right now, she feels like she is not at the center of the universe, and she is going crazy because of it. You gotta get her female brain back to the center of its universe and stabilize her in that orbit. Put her there, and show her how to stay there, and demonstrate that upsetting behavior will result in paddling. Be forewarned, she may actually get off on this, so be ready, willing, and able to perform soon after. If you paddle her, and she tries to fuck, and you decline… you have failed terribly and it is very hard to recover from that. It is not always the case, but it is quite often the case that a physical encounter like this makes a female… aggressively needful.

            • jim says:

              > What if I divorce her nevertheless? Will it offend God? Will I have it even worse afterwards?

              Divorce is offensive to God.

              Divorce will be a disaster. You will be punished more severely for a woman deciding you are beta than for any crime.

              So, to demonstrate your alpha, cheerfully do some illegal acts to compel her to improve her conduct.

              Though she does not know it, she is acting badly to see what you are capable of doing about it. Prove you are capable of anything. A woman wants to fear her man.

              • Peter V says:

                Thank you, Kunning Druegger and Jim. Your words are encouraging. I will do according to them. I have not tried it all, I could not muster enough courage to even spank her ass. But now I will do that. Maybe that is my lesson: to be alpha not only when it’s easy to be alpha (as was the case in my first relationship), but to be alpha when it requires more courage, when it’s hard to be alpha. The words I read in the Bible (having opened it on a random page) on my wedding day were: ‘Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teaches like him?’

                The magnitude of my hypocrisy hits me hard. I write about patriarchy, faith, tradition, and yet cannot sort it out at home, cannot bring my wife to obedience. Now I will do that, I will mend my marriage and make it work, make it satisfactory.

      The original Aryan religion consisted of worship of the supreme being, plus ancestors.

      Thor/Zeus/Jupiter/Indra is, at least according to one icelander, an ancestor of the Aryan peoples who lived roughly in the location where we now know the Aryans originated.

      In India, the Aryans conquered a bunch of demon worshipers, and their religion became infested with demons and demonic influences. Though the current state of Christianity is no better.

    “These adjusted numbers paint a far less optimistic picture: Washington’s case rate among unvaccinated people is as high as it was in late January, near the peak of Covid infections.” (https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/interactive/2021/covid-rates-unvaccinated-people/)

    Washington Post is writing about something I noticed a month ago, which is that COVID case numbers don’t seem to be going down much at all if you adjust for the vaccinated part of the population. The effect is really bigger than they think because old and weak people are disproportionately more likely to be vaccinated. But that’s not how pandemics work, not how seasonality works, not how development of herd immunity works (effects of which should be seen among the vaccinated and also unvaccinated).

    The more likely explanation is that the vaccine is not, in fact, a vaccine. But I’m skeptical of that claim as well since I generally think the vaccine is likely prevents severe disease and death pretty well (but produced by people not capable of actual science, I won’t be taking).

  9. “Men desire women, women desire the desire of men.” from Logan Alexander – Women: The Ownership Manual

    According to him, ownership follows from this, it is sort of a totality of desire.

    Meanwhile, I have learned I do not have low sex drive. I had low sex drive because I never owned my women and for me that is an essential component for having desire for them. Basically, obedience is sexy. But yes, I am putting the the horse before the cart, I should want to own them because I desire them, not desire them because I own them. I am a bit strangely put together in this.

    Nevertheless, this reversed relation makes perfect sense to me. I have thought a lot about the essence of incentives in economics. Why, exactly, is it in our interest to get money, why is it a reward? Suppose we have already enough bodily comfort. Then we will typically spend the money on property. Why do people buy a boat, a yacht, instead of renting it? My answer is that our property becomes an extension of our selves. Thus, self-love leads to loving what we own. Just look at how gently and lovingly people wash their cars. It is far more than just liking to have a clean car. They are caressing their cars because it is theirs, hence an extension of their selves. And this is why it is very logical to me that ownership is a prerequisite for real love or desire, because we are selfish, most of our love is self-love, so something or someone needs to become our property, the extension of our selves in order to really love her or it. Classic case is dogs. We love our dogs because they are ours. Don’t just love any random dog.

    I don’t know whether philosophers have ever explored this? Consider the idea of “near”, one’s “homies”. “My people”. The very expression means they have became extensions of our selves. Thus self-love becomes love for them. It is a form of ethical egoism. Yes, we do own our friends a little but, but it is mutual, they do own us a little bit too. Conversely, people hating the “near” most likely hate themselves.

    Do you want to spend the rest of your life with a woman who spent her youth and beauty on other men, or do you want to marry a virgin and have the family you deserve?

    I am looking for potential husbands for my daughters.

    Requirements are as listed:
    1. Wait between 10 and 15 years for them to be of legal age.
    2. Demonstrate financial prowess.
    3. Show sufficient knowledge of the red pill.
    4. Travel regularly to the New York metropolitan area.

    To filter genuine suitors from enemies, I will test your knowledge of the red pill.

    Woman Question Test: Women misbehave because they are feral, acting on base impulses originating from the fall of man in Eden. If women are given unrestricted sexual choice, we have the defect-defect lek mating system, players and bitches, cuckolds and whores. However, if strong men are allowed to control women, we have cooperate-cooperate husbands and wives, stable patriarchal monogamy, intact families and strong communities. With or without the help of the state, it is our mission to form families under the light of heaven.

    Q&A:

    Why Jim’s blog?

    NRX is a movement of disaffected elites, and I wish to build a new elite in the United States.

    Why the maximum wait of 15 years?

    It will take 15 years for my youngest daughter to reach legal age. Given the volume of FBI agents reading this blog, I do not wish to be convicted for “child” trafficking, among other offenses. Nothing about this process will involve breaking the law.

    Why arrange marriages now?

    Medieval nobility arranged marriages for their daughters in their early childhood, and there is no guarantee that in 10 years’ time this site will still be around.

    What happens after I send my email/Bitmessage?

    After sending each message you will receive a notification within 15 days that your message has been received. This is to confirm that your messages are going through; if not, reply on the thread. If there is no follow up on the notification reply within 15 days, assume that our correspondence is finished.

    What is your occupation, religion, etc.?

    In remaining anonymous, I cannot disclose much information. I am a professional from a wealthy family in the New York City area and attended an elite university.

    Is there an age restriction on potential husbands?

    Not at all. I prefer a young professional in his twenties, but all that is required is the above four criteria. There is nothing wrong with an age-gap marriage.

    How do I know you are not a shill/fed/enemy/etc.?

    Ideological tests are the basis of determining friend from foe. A shill/fed/enemy would not be able to pass the demon worshiper/woman question tests in the same way I would not be able to blaspheme Jesus Christ.

Wealth and power don’t matter much, because female perceptions of alpha are a hundred millenia out of date. Converting wealth and power in the male hierarchy into something that gets pussies wet is difficult and subtle.

      I agree with the sentiment expressed here. But am very sceptical of the means. A real arranged marriage for one’s children is done with one’s friend who is the father of the proposed match. Not with strangers over the Internet. This could be bait as far as I’m concerned.

        Finding like-minded friends in the capital of Sodom is difficult, which is why I decided to test this strategy. In retrospect, this is most likely ill-advised, although as a disclaimer I am not withdrawing the offer.

        I now realize that the primary purpose of FBI infiltration on dissident sites is not to demoralize or derail, not to infiltrate, but to sow distrust. When dissidents are forced to second-guess every communication they become disinclined to forming networks IRL, which keeps them atomized. Tests of entryism are not tests of entrappers, and thus there is no method to build instant trust along the blockchain.

        There is a monastery in upstate New York that I trust for the most part. As my business mentor always said, “I may be wrong, but I am never in doubt.”

        • The Cominator says:

            Praeludium needs to understand that the internet is a domain for exchanging ideas, not forming personal connections. One cannot just go up to a FBI-infested blog and request marriage 1.0 without establishing a reputation.

            A better bet would be going to Twitter or Gab, becoming a frequent poster, forming connections and then trying to meet IRL. Which is the story of every single dissident who has been doxxed.

            Assuming praeludium is legit, any FBI could copy-paste or reword shill test answers, discover his identity, and drum up false charges. He would be caught “lying to the FBI” and all his daughters would be sacrificed to Moloch without pity.

            If praeludium is worried about his daughters, he should go to a conservative church or monastery and arrange marriages in person. There are good places out there, you just need to find them.

            This is a very one-sided presentment of facts. I know you hate Uncle Adolf because he took away your candy, but trusting Moldbug ben Issac on anything that approaches his racial enemies is folly.

            You cannot have “non-political” soccer leagues (or anything). People crave spiritual succour as much as material supplies, and if our priests don’t provide that succour, Prog priests will step into the void. Traditional sports are always quasi-religious activities. The King is the official patron of all sports leagues in his lands, and all sportsmen pay homage to Him and to His Gods (literally “God Save the King” tier stuff). This is why “kneeling” by US sportsnegros was so offensive on a moral level to so many — being an affront to American Civic Religion.

            Hitler’s mentors realised that “German Civic Religion” (interwar) was no match for Prog spiritual attacks, and the Kaiserreich was a spent force, the Church being infested by demons. Hitler provided the answer that the people craved — hang a swastika in your window and go about your business. Soon, people were hanging swastikas everywhere.

            Coordinated press hand and glove with the state, nearly all social organizations must adhere to rules that make them progressive social organizations.

            If we’re not controlling our priests, someone else will step into the void. Either all social organisations adhere to the Imperial State Religion, or they’ll choose a demonic one instead.

              In my youth in my neck of Europe the religion of soccer matches was just basic nationalism. Back then I interpreted it as non-political and “default”, obviously fans of clubs gonna be “tribal” about their country too. This nationalism – not very “rabid” – was like water to fish, felt. very neutral.

        While I am seeking upstart young men, if one is of an older age and has a son the offer still applies. The benefit of arranging a marriage for a son is that there is no legal grey area regarding age parity.

                Rural living was the norm *before* gas, not after. It was intensive transportation networks that made mega metroplexes possible, and breakdowns of such will lead to mass exodus, just as it did in rome.

                Turboelectric transmissions, where an engine produces power, and electricity is used as the ‘working fluid’ for transmitting force from the engine to the drive train, is an old technology, and can become more common as it can allow for simplifications in design affording lower weight and roll resistance as compared with mechanical transmissions. Another good old technology is the streetcar, where a vehicle operates off of a lead connecting to the powergrid through a line in the ground or in the air.

                Sole battery powered vehicles however, are an extravagance, something people spend on to signal their faith in greenism (no relationship with actual conservation).

                  5. Simpler coolant systems.

                  6. All the extraneous EPA bullshit and things like turbos on micro engines are rendered moot and gone.

                  7. Automation is easier to implement.

                  8. Mechanical transmission is gone as well as the engine. No transmission fluid to leak on your driveway.

                  One should use your EV as your local town car, and your Hummer, Wrangler, F150, etc as your touring vehicle. Or for touring get a custom trailer with a genset and gas tank to tow behind your EV. LOL

                  To maintain good wool over a lifetime, need to air and brush and steam, and dry-clean as little as possible, once a year or so, which is going to happen in proportion to time spent hanging around filthy places such as gas pumps.

No need for any form of energy conversion or caching.

          I don’t think so.

          I think the smart money is gambling on the FDR dollar becoming worthless in the not too distant future, and is investing in maximally mortgaged real estate expecting a high likelihood that in the not too distant future, they can pay off those mortgages for the cost of a loaf of bread.

          The time for revolutionary action is not now, though it is likely to be a lot closer after fiat money becomes worthless, and will require a revolutionary leader to appear with credible legitimacy.

          Just war requires legitimate authority.

          Also, anyone saying “revolutionary action now” is likely a fed, so you are moderation pending you passing the shill test. (Though I am seeing indications that the shill test has stopped working since the legitimate president was overthrown.)

            Maybe it’s just positioning for inflation, but then again maybe the events of the past nearly two years aren’t just a series of accidents, but rather a covert war, and this is part of it. The looting part.

            Anonymous Conservative (a daily read) proposes that the huge bailout bucks (a large fraction going to banks, financial institutions and companies that use the money to play the markets) are being used to bankrupt the USA just as Reagan got the Soviets to bankrupt themselves. He sees the whole plan as being the work of “Cabal”, the largest covert intelligence network, which he argues, is a niche that cannot remain unfilled, therefore must be filled, and which explains many otherwise curious donations and other actions,news about which he logs daily.

            *

            I did not propose revolutionary action, I said massive action will be needed now in order to prevent nearly all Americans from permanently losing title to any part of their own country. I did not say I expected such action. The longer action is delayed, the more permanent the effects of this taking of the birthright of the American people will become, until only revolutionary action will be able to change it. I did not say I expect revolutionary action either — even though though it might seem foredoomed — if none of the other crimes and usurpations so far has been enough, then perhaps nothing will be enough.

            If you want me to take your shill test, have away at it.

            I can see that women are innately perverse, genetically shit-testing like children looking for limits, and without agency, that they must each individually be under the legal and social control of an individual man their whole lives, should to be allowed to own property in their own names, nor to vote (or otherwise have a say in government), let alone rule over any man. Democracy is unethical under any system of ethics because it treats the worse and better equally. A monarchy with a worthy monarch and aristocracy is better, so long as the worse (as judged by Gnon) do not rule over the better, and priests and businessmen do not rule over men of arms and honor. A stable system requires a stable, non-holiness spiraling state religion and an inquisition to prevent such spiraling. The details of that religion are for the priests, but they should be unfalsifiable or at least unfalsified, in accordance with maintaining social order and preventing spiritual sickness.

          Insights from Gordon Chang:

          China wants to take over the world without the tedium and expense of a shooting war. Belt and Road works to take over 3rd world nations, not so much for wealthy nations. For that, they need internal economic collapse to make those wealthy nations vulnerable to Chinese economic intervention. China expected the Covid lockdown to do it, but under-estimated the size of the U.S. economy. The current gov’t spending spree is China’s upscaled effort toward the same goal, conveniently congruent with what Democrats want to do anyway. Gropin’ Joe is just the handy rubber stamp, who doesn’t care one way or the other so long as the bribes roll in.

China (which imports 40% of its food from the U.S. and sends about a third of its exports to the U.S. — what happens if either comes to an end??) should be our client state and financial vassal, not the other way around.

      Daly has, in particular, targeted ExxonMobil, one of her coalition’s portfolio companies, over its “liability, or at least poor integrity, related to its knowledge about the climate impacts of its core business practices,” as she wrote in a letter in 2016.

      Penner led the minor shareholder revolt against ExxonMobil in similar fashion. He sought the support of massive asset management firms such as Vanguard and BlackRock, which together own roughly 15% of ExxonMobil. But he also turned back to his old ally, the California State Teachers’ Retirement System, as well as to the Church of England and the New York State Common Retirement Fund. The latter two organizations had already urged shareholders during the last annual meeting to persuade ExxonMobil to address the climate emergency. “If you can get Exxon to change,” Penner told Bloomberg, “everybody else in the industry has to listen.”
      ===

      Note that the CA Teacher’s Retirement System and the NY State Common Retirement Fund, aka state pension funds associated with their respective unions, are both massively over-committed and in deep danger of total collapse. Do these pension funds expect to get money from this?

      Looks to me like the plan is to shift Exxon from oil to “green” energy, gut the company by selling off all its hard assets, set themselves up with golden parachutes, and start sucking money out of the subsidy teat. IOW, a massive fraud. I would not be surprised if this eventually winds up being another Enron==Montana Power.

    So what is the overall consensus here regarding COVID vaccines? I know Jim originally said they are probably fine but now thinks best to avoid them.

    I don’t know a thing about the topic. For the most part I trust traditional vaccines but you’d have to be retarded to not be at least somewhat skeptical about these. The fact that the first ones were announced November 4th, along with the reversal on their position on HCQ on January 20th lol.

    What I want to know is:

    – How bad are they? That is, to what extent should I go to avoid having them? To get out of the West I might eventually need a vaccine passport.

    – If necessary, are certain vaccines better/worse than others?

    – I know you can apparently bribe someone to give fake evidence of a vaccine, but that carries risks also. How do you find someone to do this? If I move to southeast asia would this be much easier? Presumably evidence of being vaccinated in one country could be used internationally.

    – Any truth the rumors of it causing infertility? Especially concerned about letting my sons get vaccinated.

    – Are there any places that aren’t falling for the COVID delusion? Other posters have mentioned that poorer countries seem more likely to believe the mask stuff.

      Find an Indian owned Pharmacy in a more rural area. Sign up for the vaccine, walk into the back room where he’s suppose to give you the shot, handled the issue, and walk out with your card and the Indian will put you in the database. If you can’t find an Indian, find anyone who immigrated from a publicly corrupt country.

      >So what is the overall consensus here regarding COVID vaccines? I know Jim originally said they are probably fine but now thinks best to avoid them.

      The spike proteins that the vaccines produces damages the circulatory system. Avoid the 2 shot at all costs because they seem to do the most damage. If you’ve had the virus don’t get the vaccine as the worst outcomes seem to be 2 shot + already had covid. The J&J is probably best because A) actual cells are infected and attacked by your body resulting in fewer cases of the immune system destroying your blood while attempting to find a non existent virus and B) it produces less noted side effectives.

                  Jsd, especially if you are young just catching COVID is a rather riskless way of avoiding vaccination. Of course, details will depend on laws not yet passed.

                  For example, present law in Germany is that people who revovered from COVID are barred from vaccination for medial reasons and considered equal to the vaccinated.

                  Keep in mind that if vaccination ever becomes mandatory, just getting vaccinated won’t solve your problem. After a year or so your status as vaccinated (or recovered) will lapse and you’ll be required to get vaccinated again with a different vaccine (or reinfected which will be difficult if you already recoverd from COVID).

                  Pottenger’s cats are an example of what happens to animals when they have substandard processed food. Within a few generations of the switch, they are irreversibly genetically damaged. Meanwhile we humans eat like shit for thousands of years and managed to survive and thrive.

                  The amount of damage the human body can suffer is also amazing. Our ability to endure blunt force trauma and slashing wounds are truly a marvel. The mechanisms for sealing up a wound to allow continued fight or flight amazed me. Blood vessels constrict and muscles tighten up to decrease the amount of blood loss, and hormones numb the pain and keep you in the fight.

                  Even puncture wounds, although much more dangerous, are still very often survivable with simple care. A significant amount of deaths from gunshots are from psychosomatic surrender to the inevitable, and not actual fatal damage. The amount of trauma and blood loss would not have killed them, but they die because they expect to die when shot. If you do not realize you have been shot, or you know that you can easily survive a shooting absent specific injuries to the heart or spinal column, then you have pretty decent chances of living through a shooting.

                  A strong human body can endure a lot. We did not reach the top of the food chain just because we had sharp sticks. It is also because we are brutally tough.

            I see the following circulating around:

            1) Mike Yeadon, former Pfizer chief science officer says those injected will suffer from Antibody Dependent Enhancement, predicts 2-3 year life expectancy for the injected.

            2) Luc Montagnier seems to suggest ADE pressures virus to mutate to become more deadly (either I’m missing something or I’m seeing conflicting definitions of ADE).

            3) Claims that prior vaccines for SARS-CoV1 led to most test animals’ death, in multiple studies. Ex; Immunization with SARS Coronavirus Vaccines Leads to
            Pulmonary Immunopathology on Challenge with the SARS Virus

            If there is a non-negligible chance that come fall/winter, on contact with similar virus in the wild, most vaccinated have a severe reaction, then wouldn’t it make sense to not get the injection until this possibility is ruled out?

            • Mike in Boston says:

              wouldn’t it make sense to not get the injection until this possibility is ruled out?

              The answers to that question depend on specifics.

              First, asking about “the injection” obscures the fact that there are mRNA vaccines (Pfizer and Moderna), adenovirus vector vaccines (J&J, AstraZeneca, Sputnik V), and hopefully in the future a conventional protein plus adjuvant vaccine from Novavax. All of those have different risks and side effect profiles.

              Second, whether one of them makes sense for you is dependent on particular circumstances. If you are a 400 pound diabetic, or live with your 95 year old mom, you might be more in favor of getting one of the shots than if you are a healthy 25 year old.

              • simplyconnected says:

                I don’t trust these people. Simply the fact that ivermectin/ hydroxycloroquine/budesonide have had great resuts but have been suppressed (possibly to force the EUA approval) tells me I should not come close to the injection. Their attempt to coerce have the opposite effect in me. As for many others, this is the hill I die on.

        You goddamned idiots, you don’t need to bribe anybody. Covid vaccination forms are easily downloadable as PDFs or equivalent all over the place from various health authorities or dissenters. Get a look at what a real one looks like, print one out, fill out whatever you want, laminate it, done. If you’re signed up for the vaccination alerts you can get plenty of information on when and where and what providers for information to fill in, and if you can get a a few looks at real ones so you know how to format the numbers, maybe use a real citation for a given date and location – you’ll be fine. Everything about this has been so rushed and half-assed they can’t know if their data on who’s really taken it is reliable or not.

        And with 40% of the population admitting to opting out, they’re not anywhere in sight of being able to impose travel restrictions around this stuff.

        As for the actual risks, if you’re under the 40-50 range the order of magnitude is roughly comparable to covid itself. I know someone in the 70-80ish range who said “It might not be perfect but it’ll keep me out of the hospital in the short term and my life expectancy isn’t that great anymore anyway” which is a totally rational position.

        I find it hard to believe it will kill everyone who gets it (but I wait for to be ruled out, and if it happens I won’t be hugely surprised).
        The reason I don’t believe Burr’s argument is that they had some surveys. Prior to rollout, if I recall, it was ~50% didn’t want to take the injection. Once rollout started, it was ~33% didn’t want to take it.

        As more people seemed to wveryant to take it, the Fauci target jumped from something like 50% to 70 or 80% (he said up to 85%). The event 201 discussion talked about some groups being hesitant, namely muslims, christian evangelicals, some others.
        Do you really think these people are smart enough to guess that vaccine perception would become essentially split along progressive/non-progressive lines? They didn’t seem to afaik in event 201.

        If Fauci redefined herd immunity at 85% as he saw higher acceptance of injection in surveys, I can only guess the target was always at least 85%, which means inject most people (Bill Gates is on camera saying we won’t go back to normal until basically the whole planet is injected). It seems to me they thought they would inject pretty much everyone.
        That of course means nothing re the injected dying, it just suggests that Bill Burr’s point only works now that we know that it was only the true believers that injected themselves en masse (which seems unlikely that they knew before rollout).

            I don’t know what they thought about conservatives getting the injection. But I know event 201 only considered small groups (some black for historical reasons, some muslims and some evangelicals for religious reasons, but not conservatives in general) as potentially distrusting the injection.

            They’re not necessarily dumb, but they have a caricature idea of their opponents’ worldview, don’t you think they would think that by getting fox news to shill for the injection they would have conservatives on board? I don’t know, that’s just my guess. I simply look at what they said, and they planned targeted narratives only for those small groups (blacks, muslims, evangelicals).

            In countries that got a lot of excess deaths, such as England, they now have the lowest mortality rate ever recorded. The excess deaths from the unusually nasty flu season are approximately balanced by reduced deaths a few months later. Much like most other unusually nasty flu seasons.

            Something is going to happen, if not this time, the next time, or the time after that – the Cathedral has abandoned the Republic’s method for peaceful transfer for power. Unpeaceful transfer of power is going to ensue soon enough. If this time, we likely get a Sulla or a Pinochet, if the next time, a Cromwell, if the time after that, a Stalin.

              Pinochet came to power without much bloodshed which obviously is the best case.

              Cromwell, Sulla, and Stalin came to power after a bloody civil war (in which the right-wing and/or populists lost) with bloody purges after that bloody civil war. Obviously the worst case.

              • The Cominator says:

                Sulla was the popular one in his civil war despite being loosely an optimates as demonstrated by how many troops defected to him.

                • Pooch says:

                  Sulla was absolutely not a populist. He was an Optimate, fighting for the elites, he was of the elite.

                  Sulla had loyal troops ironically from the Marius’ military reforms that bound the army’s loyalty with the general rather than to the republic.

                • The Cominator says:

                  Lots of other peoples troops defected to Sulla. Sulla was a very popular guy with the roman masses though and only a loose optimates… his simple interest law was enormously popular for example.

                • Pooch says:

        The Cathedral come to think of it DOES have a big James II problem…

        Ie that their army (even if like James they’ve managed to name some high ranking officers that share their religion) doesn’t share their religion and hates their religion. I don’t think they can easily resolve this down to the rank and file.

        • Pooch says:

          It’s a big problem for them and one they are aware of. Likely can only be resolved with several more years of barbarian immigration to draw their mercenary army from.

          • jim says:

            The barbarians that they are recruiting are militarily incapable. A likely outcome of a civil war is that a small army of the white minority easily defeats the large army of the brown majority, much as the Tutsi effortlessly defeated the Hutu despite the fact that the Hutu were theoretically organized as a state, and the Tutsi were not, and despite the fact that the Hutu had massive armed backing from the “international community”. This would give us the best outcome, though we are likely to have a Cromwell, rather than a Pinochet, on top.

            • The Cominator says:

              Its more likely the barbarians just won’t actually fight if there is a prospect of actually being shot back at.

              They’ll be useful as armed police for crowd control but its not that they’ll even be bad soldiers its that they just won’t fight at all. What the fuck do they care…

                  To keep drawing a paycheck is not a good enough reason to be shot at. Now draconian discipline can make unwilling men fight in a sort of minimal and robotic fashion but its hard to impose draconian discipline on a body of mercenaries.

                • Pooch says:

                • jim says:

                  In the Rwandan genocide, White Cathedral troops quickly found themselves isolated in little islands of Cathedral control, because they relied on Hutu troops to control the ground. The Hutu troops collapsed, or failed to fight in an organized cohesive manner. Fearing siege and possible annihilation through loss of international logistic support, they pulled out. Once the Tutsi had the roads, the Cathedral chickened out.

                  The Cathedral operation in Rwanda was premised on the presupposition that they could delegate all the unpleasant stuff to Hutu troops, which premise failed catastrophically as soon as people started shooting back in an organized fashion.

                  Correct. The Tutsis are a civilized people with a civilization based around herding. The Hutu’s are just one step above hunter/gathers and are adapt to hunt other people’s cattle and gather from other people’s gardens. Both are Bantus peoples.

                  Civilization is a genetic process were traits that are incompatible with civilized behavior are removed from the genepool via slavery or execution for people who break the law.

                  The cathedral is at war with civilization itself.

                  Jim, do you have information about the origin of Sumerians? Everything I read about them says they’re origin is a mystery but I get the same sort of tingly sense that I’m not being told the whole story about them. I find the push to remove them as the original builders of civilization, despite it being obvious that every civilization that came afterwards was a copy of their system to be odd as well.

                • jim says:

                  Sumerian civilization was founded by Uruk, and Uruk was founded by a people from very far away. That is not all that controversial.

                  Babylonia is Akkad is Sumer.

                  But they are not in a rush to tell anyone else what happened, and Westerners don’t take much interest in anything beyond the borders of the Roman Empire.

                  You have Jews on the brain.

                  Sumer fell long before the Jews got thrown out of Egypt. Probably Abraham left the Chaldees within a few centuries of the time that Sumer fell. Chaldies is a Hellenization of an Akkadian name, and Akkadia did not rise till Sumer fell.

                • The Original OC says:

                  You’re right, it’s very unlikely the Jews caused the fall of Sumer.

                  They very likely did have a hand in the fall of pre-Hellenistic Babylonia (a much later state), and for that reason do not want to share much of the history of Babylonia, and for that reason do not want to share much of the history of its predecessors.

                  But much must be preserved in this culture’s intellectual output, much of which is publicly available, but Westerners have taken little interest.

                • jim says:

                  Yes, but the question at hand is the reluctance to credit Sumer with the first civilization and particularly to credit Uruk with rule of the entire civilized world, (though it is likely that Uruk did not exactly rule in the imperial sense, rather local priests of Urukian descent who regarded Uruk as their Vatican ruled) and reluctance to inquire where people who spoke Sumerian originally came from.

                  Why did the cathedral want to wipe out the tutsis btw?

                  J-Left hates them because they are the Jews’ civilisational enemies/competitors. Prog-Left hates them because they represent order and have memetic sovereignty, both of which are anathema to the prog priests. They can tell when someone is an enemy simply by interacting with him/them. Belgian colonists recognised this too, and tended to trust Tutsi with colonial positions for this reason. Hutu hatred of Tutsi is prole misbehaviour, greatly amplified. Normally, proles are ineffectual, so their misbehaviour is easily contained/disciplined, but in this case they were provided weapons and support by USA. It seems to me that Tutsis must also have had foreign backing, but I can’t tell which power backed them, certainly no-one did openly. Considering that “Rwandan genocide” is also a leftist meme, and was an early differentiator between Establishment/J-Left and Radical Left, I consider Tutsis having “won” and survived for now a result of intra-Left struggle. When Paul Kagame dies, Rwanda will be in play again.

                  It is similar to how Christians, Muslims, and Progs all hate us Hindus and want to wipe us out, despite there having been no bad blood between our respective ancient cultures. It is not possible to conquer us if even a dozen people like me survive — hence genocide.

                  …it was believed that they were in substantial part descended from whitesAryans who had come up the Nile during the collapse of Bronze Age civilization.

                  Belgians extensively speculated that Tutsis appeared to have heavy Aryan admixture, both in physical features (taller, sharper features, fairer skin, big cranium) and mental capabilities (considered equal to Southern European/Mediterranean Aryans). Most of the literature is in French, though, and heavily suppressed in the Anglosphere. Curiously, French sources are relatively easy to obtain. I don’t know if Francophonie is less censorious or what.

                  Babylonia is Akkad is Sumer.

                  Unlike the others, Sumer/Sumeru is not a Semitic culture. Even the name itself is Indo-European. I don’t know where you got this misconception from. In East Aryan religion, Sumeru is a mythical five peaked mountain throne that is the residence of the Old(est) Gods[1]. It is the central location of the spiritual universe. It would not surprise me if “Aryans” in fact descended from the God Kings of Sumer.

                  But much must be preserved in this culture’s intellectual output, much of which is publicly available, but Westerners have taken little interest.

                  Semites consider their history to begin from Year Zero. Consider how the Bible jumps from Genesis right to Exodus, skipping the millennia in between. It is inconceivable that they were unaware of the intervening history, rather they hid it. In the Age of Exploration Europeans threw away the shackles of Vatican Year Zero and re-discovered their Old Gods (for better and for worse). Muslims still carry on, and it is sad that all this territory is occupied by Arabs and their mental slaves who refuse to study any history beyond Baphomet for fear that they might learn it is false. This is also exemplified in that research on our own Indus Valley Civilisation (contemporaneous with Sumer and their biggest trading partner — possibly referred to as “Dilmun/Meluhha” by Sumerians[2]) was suppressed by a millennium of Islamic conquest, got a jump start by Europeans, and promptly died down again once Pakistan was formed, whose “history” strangely begins with Baphomet, which is their Genesis, then skips right to 1947, which is their Exodus. Similar is the case with present Iraq/Sumer, or Arabia/Iram.

                The Final Solution is more nuanced than that.

                Prog Proles aren’t really “progs” at all, having no capacity for thought. They will gladly convert to the State Religion, any State Religion. We may institute some humiliating conversion ritual[1] or something involving physical pain, that would weed out all impostors. A true prole would hardly notice his religious faith has changed, just as proles hardly noticed when they shifted from worshipping Yahweh to Moloch.

                Prog Vaishyas are extremely powerful, but the source of their power is their wealth. Also, it is only temporal power. Just as it is being channelised into the prog faith, similarly it is the duty of the King to channelise his Vaishya subjects’ wealth into eusocial activities. Bezos and Zuck and Gates etc will have massive fines imposed, and will have to contribute their (massive) tax streams towards the State Religion. A true Vaishya would see no difference to the current regime apart from that his possessions are suddenly more secure.

                Prog warriors are a thing, of course. The prototypical example is the US Army post Civil War, getting more degenerate over time but also more powerful. A close second was the Red Army. Both these are too formidable to fight directly. Thankfully, only one now remains, and cannot be taken directly but through logistics. If Robert E Lee had done unto Lincoln before Sherman did unto the CSA, we would have entered a new era with Davis in DC and we would probably not have this conversation now. Leftists’ logistics are their Achilles’ heel, because they can’t help but loot Vaishya stuff, so they have to resort to long supply lines that need protection. It is impossible to fight a defensive war against Leftists, but offence, especially disrupting supply lines, is very likely to result in victory. A smaller Rightist Army can sustain a massive expeditionary force for far longer than a Leftist Defence can hold. This was the lesson of Hitler’s defeat at Stalingrad — he had Socialist Logistics.

                Prog Brahmins… well. They’ll need to be helicoptered to the last man. No worry for Brahmins in general — with so few priests remaining, Right Priests are going to be extremely powerful, which is good for us personally too.

                  Depends… many very good military forces in history have been soldiered by drunken almost criminal types who discipline tended to break down immediately on any sort of detatched service or after taking a city.

                  Cromwell’s New Model Army of supposedly very non degenerate puritan soldiers is more the exception in history rather than the rule.

                  So degenerates can be good fighters.

                • jim says:

                  That type is pretty much the opposite of degenerate.

                  And Cromwell was apt to cheerfully authorize pillaging, looting, and raping, he just forbade shitting in his own backyard.

                  You obviously do not want the soldiers behaving in a way that disrupts local sourcing for logistics, but if enemy activity has rendered local logistics ineffectual, pillaging is a good break when a break can be afforded.

                  Fehrenbach wrote about this:

                  The Turks were a completely homogeneous group, with common background and common culture, and with a chain of command that was never broken.

                  … the Turkish soldier who served his country’s colors was still a fanatically devout custom-ridden peasant, close to the soil and survival, accustomed to the fiercest discipline of all his life, from father, state, and army — but with a barbarian’s pride in himself and his people.

                  He was barbarian-proud of his manhood and his fighting ability. He knew, dimly, that his ancestors had been the backbone of Near Eastern armies since the Empire of Rome and that their courage with cold steel had rarely been equaled. He knew, dimly, that firepower had vanquished his vaunted empire and that economically he was backward, but this had not lessened his faith in Turks or Turkdom. What schools he had attended used no economic argument in teaching the greatness of Turks.

                  Even after thirty years of state anticlericalism, his faith in his God was childlike, ignorant, and complete.

                  “Adult” faith in God is apt to bear a suspicious resemblance to Gnosticism and Satanism, and “sophisticated” faith in God is apt to be sophomoric.

                  Of course, ideally the priesthood should have adult and sophisticated faith in God, while being highly suspicious of excessively “adult” and “sophisticated” faith in God. As for the masses, they should not be reading the holy texts for themselves. The bible is full of deliberate contradictions, and the “sophisticated” reader is apt to get hung up on them, holiness spiraling one line at the expense of all the other lines. The priesthood should affirm the contradictions, the masses should not bother thinking about them. The faith of the masses is supposed to be childlike.

                  “Sophisticated” Christians are apt to lose to unsophisticated Muslims.

                  The fundamental problem with Islam is that Mohammed was a terrorist, and this really is not compatible with civilization.

                  A second problem is that after their leftist singularity, they forbade further interpretation and analysis of their holy texts, “closed the gates”, which also had the unfortunate effect of forbidding science and philosophy. They threw out the baby with the bathwater. Albeit the bathwater was more of a stinking cesspit by that time.

                  You need to deal with new heresies adaptively, intelligently, and selectively, rather than prohibiting everything on the grounds that it is fertile soil for heresy. Heresy will flourish if the priesthood has too much power and independence. It is priestly power and independence that is what growing heresies reach for.

                  And the third problem is that Islam is a race, not just a religion, and that race is inferior.

                  And this is why, in the Orthodox Church, those reading the Bible often turn to the twelfth-century explanation of the Scriptures by St. Theophylact of Ochrid. After every few verses, he inserts the consensus explanation of the church fathers, noting when interpretations vary– which they do, but within a range much, much too narrow to contain the sophomoric interpretations of modernity.

                  In general the Orthodox Church believes that Scripture should be interpreted in light of what the Church has always believed, not according to the reader’s personal ideas.

                  Muslims are degenerate. The definition of degeneracy has undergone great amplification since Muhammad’s time, so you might call them “old type denegerates,” especially as relates to incest. The problem with fighting degenerates is that their degeneracy makes them weaker in the long term, but if they kill you now there is no long term for you.

                  Lenin/Trotsky’s Red Army was the biggest bunch of faggots assembled on the face of the earth, yet they managed to defeat the Whites (multiple reasons, but you can’t doubt the Reds’ fighting ability).

                  Exactly. The doors of ijtihad were deliberately shut, which ended the “Islamic Golden Age” as much as the Mongols. Islamic society still greatly resembles the Abbasid caliphate.

                  And the third problem is that Islam is a race, not just a religion, and that race is inferior.

                  This is a fatal mistake to make. While it is true that fundamentally, Islam is a faith of the sons of Ishmael, i.e. Arab Semites, it is quite cosmopolitan now. African/Nubian/Moorish/Berber Muslims are a different race and quite capable, Afghans are Indo-Hellenes and racially quite a good stock, and last but not the least, the Ottoman Caliphate was started by an Aryan tribe which decided that Islam was the correct way to organise their society. Kievan Rus narrowly avoided that fate as well — their emissaries found the Byzantine faith to be more “happy-looking” which was more to their liking, while Muslim lands appeared dirty. Even now, the conversion of a major European country into Islam can set off a massive tsunami.

                  No, what i said was “A sentiment of ‘what are we even fighting for’ is a perennial tell of an army led by demon worshipers.” You can choose to read the words that were written.

                  Blue-pilled men’s fear, confusion, and anxiety when trying to deal with women stems in great part from them being sold false life-plans about women and marriage.

                  Likewise, the fear, confusion, and anxiety (‘what are we even fighting for’) of a boot in vietnam, or in iraq, or in afghanistan, stems in great part from them being sold false life plans about what War is about; about what *their* war is about. This vacuum of more transcendent understanding is a typical (typifying) condition of Modern war.

                  The eliding of a distinction between ‘demon leader’ and ‘demon soldier’ is an angle you read into it. In this case, it is eliding a distinction between warriors and priests. A perhaps quite predictable angle for you to have honed in on, since, as a, how shall we say, ‘brahmin supremacist’, you apparently would not blink at angling to obscure more conscious recognition of priest-like folk in cases where they might look bad. Much like the communists themselves.

                  A ‘monk’ is a special case of person who does priesting. That is to say, they are not someone who does priesting, they are someone who *only* does priesting; someone whose *ideal* is to have the privilege of being able to do as such.

                  And in societies with terminal cases of leftism, ‘monk-likes’ constitute a supermajority of priest-likes in those societies.

                  Soldiers (or ‘boots’) are not warriors, but are majority proles with guns. A classic prole Army would be infantry, armed with hommemade swords and no/light armour. As such they are incapable of understanding the ‘why’ of anything, and I would not waste time with them. They are dogged fighters though, and need to be killed as fast as possible. All the prole ennui in Vietnam, Iraq, or Afghanistan cannot hide the fact that they are evil, fighting in an evil army, for the establishment of evil, and by continuing to fight in the evil army they forfeit their God-given bounty.

                  Not every soldier in the Kaurav army was personally evil — in fact many/most of them were patriots only following orders for King and Country. This state of law persisted for millenia until it was changed in 1943-55 by the Nuremberg Trials. It now stands in US Imperial Law that enemy soldiers will be considered equally culpable in any act of war that may be redefined as an “atrocity” on a whim by the victors, even if they are 80 years old now and had no direct involvement with said atrocity (which might not even have actually happened as alleged).

                  If Nuermberg Law is what Imperial Soldiers enforce, it is Imperial Law by which they will be tried.

                  This vacuum of more transcendent understanding is a typical (typifying) condition of Modern war.

                  Vacuum of understanding is a typical condition of proles, and has always been thus. Imperial Legion proles will suffer only decimation and enslavement. Imperial Legion Officers (who actually are warriors and are expected to know what they’re doing and why) will get the bayonet. Imperial Legion Generals will be considered at par with their priestly handlers, equally culpable, and shall go on helicopter rides together.

                  A man marinated in bluepill (a bluepilled society (‘society’)) may not be able to say *why* he is in pain; he may not even be able to *say* that he is in pain; but he still *is* in pain.

                  Modern society is very up on ‘priesting’ and very down on ‘warrior-ing’ (a fact which seems to have placed you in more than a few awkward situations due to a lick of unfortunate partisanship), so material relevant to this topic – which is relevant to the broader point(s) – is vanishingly short, but there are some pink-pilled books like Sebatian Junger’s Tribe that i’d recommend for perspective on the subject.

NRx takes it a step further and posits that it has a “pro-warrior” position as well. All are unanimous that Prog is mainly priest-led, and anti-Prog signalling is mutated into anti-Brahmin signalling. This is a defeatist strategy, and it reads like a Prole-Vaishya coalition of the ineffectual against the Warriors and Priests in power, with NRx only attempting to broaden the Coalition to include Warriors, which might give them a fighting chance (ha!).

                  Official ideology makes more and more difference the higher up the ladder you go, where proles mostly can’t even realise when the official ideology changes, Vaishyas can tell to some limited extent, warriors enforce ideology so at least the higher echelons have understanding, while priests’ whole life revolves around the official ideology and its minute perturbations. This is the reason why we expect all civil proles and most Vaishyas to happily follow the new State Religion without even realising that it is different from the old State Religion. Prog-priests can see through this, of course, leaving no recourse but to Cominate them. Prog Armies shall suffer similar graded fates — rank and file will get away with decimation and enslavement, their superiors not so much.

                  Modern society is very up on ‘priesting’ and very down on ‘warrior-ing’

                  Which is the natural state of a society without a God-King in power who reins in warriors, being the Leader of a State Religion whose High Priest reins in the priests.

                  I’ve often wondered about this. The German army didn’t report PSTD cases during WW2. On the other hand there was a marked drop off of combat effectiveness after a certain amount of combat. UK units that had performed quite well in North Africa performed very poorly during the battle for Normandy.

                  The other big thing going on was the amount of concussive shock k from bombs and artillery from the war. One’s brain bouncing off the sides of your skull over and over again is bound to cause damage. Air attacks in particular often killed very few men, but the shock effect from air attacks often left men unable to effectively fight back despite taking no physical injuries and it induces a lot of fear as well far out of portion of the danger.

                  The German army had a wise policy of not sitting in the trenches during a bombardment, instead they setup front line trenches and defenses and then moved back to a secondary defense line while minimally staffing the front lines. After the bombardment was over they’d either move back up or they’d just sit back and defend the secondary defense line having taken no bombardment damage.

                  The only time the allies ever counted this was during Operation Goodwood. There they used massed low flying heavy bombers to carpet bomb a huge area and hit 90% of the German’s defenses. Even huge tanks like tigers were flipped over or berried by the bombings and the defense lines almost completely crumbled. Of course the UK fucked up by sending in tanks without infantry support and the German AA guns ate them alive. This gave the Germans time to recover and build new defenses.

  21. Aryaman says:

    I can’t articulate it precisely yet, but isn’t it a problem that crypto is hard to really, properly understand a problem that will eventually lead to hidden centralization and sources of trust? Gold works for what it does because it is homogenous and sufficiently many people can properly convince themselves, even without much formal learning, that it cannot be counterfeit from mercury and that methods exist to validate its purity. Those auditing mechanisms can be believed because they have existed for a long time and are subject to a genuine free market.

    A lose analogy would be the obvious security of an election where people marked with indelible ink cast paper ballots hand counted by ordinary people under observation by the general public. The correctness of a result procured by such method is very easy to understand. Most people understand it is difficult to hack such a procedure and vaguely understand how it might be hacked if it were so hacked. The same cannot be said for any form of remote or electronic voting.

    And I think gold, bullion, and even centralized paper bear an analogous relation to cryptocurrency. You don’t want people surrendering an imprecise but approximately right understanding of why things they use work to what for them is a black box. And if they do you want to make sure there is a free market of readily auditable black boxes that fail quickly if they are defective or fraudulent for them to chose between on the basis of reputation. That is how you get Coinbase, and I’m not quite sure how this can ever be overcome if crypto is to be properly safe in the sense that the knower of a private key has absolute title to his wallet. The entire genius of the law is to make identity easy.

    I believe there is some way of actually stating this formally. There will be a fundamental difficulty to properly believing in the dominant crypto that satisfies our other goals. Standing the test of free markets helps, but it is hard to contend with gold and paper whose properties are grandfathered into our memory.

    Here is a somewhat inchoate idea? Why not lots of ledgers with a proper reputation system that compete to provide cryptographically robust title to gold and other scarce and homogenous metals? It would require some actual investment in the way of physical infrastructure, but the various ledgers could serve the purpose of sidechains and actual metal which people understand the role of what Bitcoin is supposed to offer today?

    And some principled integration between the physical and digital. There needs to be reputation and an ability to launder that reputation to notarize digitally the fact that certain things in the real world did or did not happen (gold was deposited or withdrawn, etc.) Then people might not entirely understand the crypto but can rely on the market to determine which crypto actually confers secure title to a substance which they fundamentally understand.

    Ultimately you need something like this anyway if you are to have trustless ecommerce. That is if I pay for something and things don’t work out, if I care enough I need to be able to get a notarized receipt of precisely what I paid for and that I paid for it.

    In summary: gold and other noble metals have many limitations but with it you can make many times more than 10 transactions a second. Can’t the one final currency incorporate this wonder by reference ?

    • jim says:

      Nah.

      Cryptography can secure secrets, cannot secure physical things. So a cryptographic ledger about gold titles depends on the government enforcing those titles, making the cryptography of very little value.

      People don’t actually understand fiat money, but are plenty comfortable when their browser tells them they have such and such an amount in their bank.

      And they don’t understand the difference between their wallet telling them that secrets sitting in their wallet are worth such and such an amount, and Coinbase telling them that secrets held by coinbase, supposedly on their behalf, are worth such and such an amount. But that is going to be OK if we get the user interface done right.

      We have to put the medium for communication about money, for communicating metadata about transactions, inside the wallet, as in the old days you sent a sealed envelope containing both a cheque and a letter. Then everyone is going to use that wrapper, owining their secrets the way they used to own their correspondence. A third party like Coinbase will not have a handle to get inside the transaction.

But it is much much better than what has ever existed before. Imagine gold bank notes backed not just by verbal assurance, but tamper proof video and data feeds of the physical good and its current state. Followed by automated delivery of that good to nearly anywhere supported by a large and growing physical network. With digital assurances and many microinsurance contracts set up along the way to reimburse failures of this system.

To mess with these systems would be in many ways to damage their own ability to exert power, since they as well as us would be participants; with perhaps asymmetric benefit to they. A king got more out of his successful households than vice versa.

            Crypto is a schelling point for value when trust breaks down–probably same natural virality for digital goods.

            Seems at least somewhat clear physical goods should be in another category, but possible to imagine a State that defers to permissionless blockchain based property rights for physical goods.

            People invest in America because America respects property rights (lol) or the second order effects that result. If blockchain based property rights for digital goods births a strong enough meme, it’s possible to imagine a State looking for investment to back blockchain based property rights for physical goods on the same infrastructure.

      • Aryaman says:

        You still need sufficiently much of the transacted wealth to be controlled by people who actually care about owning their secrets and understanding at least the concept of why the cryptography makes it so. That is something people are able to do, and would in fact be instinctually inclined to do, if the standard were transacting in gold coins. And they would intuitively understand how value is usually debased and know how to test for it if they care.

        The interface — and ecosystem — needs to inspire a level of vigilance and hygiene, which vigilance and hygiene are a positive social good. This is not impossible but also not obviously possible with absolute ownership of your secrets, and what that entails. This will lead to hidden and nonobvious sources of trust. Fiat money has the same problem, but bullion coins do not. And either way you will need something like cryptographic notarization, receipts and reputation. Much commerce in bitcoin today works because people still pretend that courts work, and maybe in many cases they still do.

        (In fact more important that government doesn’t actively get in the way of certain titles being respected (which it will eventually do) but it’s not all or nothing. The amount of physical intervention should be minimized (i.e. network of gold stores built under public broadcast using checksummed software that will vend gold to proven owner of secrets). The people controlling the stores will be compensated so that absconding with the gold if they can get their hands on it is a bad idea. There have always been free market sources of trust in certain types of bankers, escrow agents, etc. The limiting factor for these is the difficulty of establishing identity, for which problem the cryptography is very valuable. And as far as the government is concerned what you really need is just a few places in the world where the state does not entirely get in the way of title being respected and maybe even helps, sometimes.)

        On another note, how much more bitcoin do people in the aggregate think they own than bitcoin actually available in circulation?

            Crypto addresses only half of the problem of longdistance transaction in a dangerous, untrusting and untrustworthy environment. Payment is easy, but what about the side of the transaction that payment is for?

            If you promise to pay me for a good or a service in crypto, either I provide good or service and hope to be paid or you pay and hope to receive good/service.

              “Goodwill” is worth big cash money. Goodwill is reputation for honoring that side of the transaction.

                I’d like to see crypto software which blocks grandma from sending money to an address that is not linked to a verified, real-world ID. Money should be sent to her bank or post office or employer or grandchildren or a registered tradesman. If she did send money to the wrong person, they can be traced and challenged. To make it safer, limit her from sending money to Russians etc. Domestic transfers only, unless she wants to sit an advanced user exam

                Advanced users should be able to send money to any address, but even experts would not want this on by default. It should require “control-alt-delete” command level technical wizardry to disable safe-mode and make sure the expert is not acting in error

                This stuff would probably be built into the Brave browser for a while before it catches on enough to be in Windows by default.

                I sat in a pub yesterday and had to write out my debit card details and home address into their custom website so that I could order an ale to my table, the payment then had to be verified with the bank app. Awkard minutes, and we were thirsty. It should be one button, with them knowing my ID from my digital signature, me knowing that it is the real pub from their verified key, and knowing exactly how much is being sent. I should not even had needed to scan in their QR code to load the website. GPS data is enough to show that I could only be at one pub, and there ought to be some technology to pick up the table number automatically

                There is no purpose in having each place have its own website or app. If my GPS shows that I am there, and I have their verified key, I should be able to send them crypto for an order with a table number. Even if I get the location wrong, it does not matter when I know who they are because I can request a refund

                But how do you get to a system of verified wallets regularly trading with other verified wallets, without having governments declare it illegal to send or receive crypto with unverified wallets?

                You would want to grow a system where regular transactions between verified and unverified wallets are still mixed in, so that a critical mass of users are always going to be doing it, making it not practical to regulate it out of existence. Ideally this needs to give the groups doing it a practical (probably economic) advantage, something more meaningful than being able to buy locations to dig up mephadrone out from under park benches. This practical advantage from allowing trading with unverified wallets should be enough to discourage national governments from attempting to prohibit it, knowing that it would put their citizens at some sort of (probably economic) disadvantage

It would be a substantial decentralised replacement for airbnb as hosts would be more willing to open up their homes if they had a reliable way of avoiding niggers and if tenants could prove more about their background more generally (though these two problems are one and the same), likewise a decentralized system would replace vehicle-hire apps along with (as talked about on here already) uber. I’d like to see the blockchain show that when I stayed in the log cabin I left it in a clean state and without stealing the objects, but ideally without the social credit mechanism causing the owner to receive a government backlash for a disproportionate white usage of his cabin

                  The incorporation of government with blockchain is inevitable. I should be able to buy a house, and greentext the address when buying a service. If I ignore a bill, should automatically be paid when I sell the house , or if renting it should come from my deposit. But likewise I should be able to cancel a service without having to call an Indian call centre and sitting on hold just for someone to try selling me additional services. Blockchains and digital ID can make the whole market smoother, less transaction costs, less risks and higher standards

                  I should be able to prove my address with green text. Someone should not be able to get my address from my name, or even my name from my address, and even when buying a service : they ought to be able to link my address to my ID, check my credit for my encrypted name but without actually knowing my real name, avoiding the risk of the name-address link being leaked to the deep web. The efficient system is probably a web of pseudonyms, where more can be generated on the fly in an event of a leak, and used to verify parts of my previous ID if I wanted to

                  If there is a global system of anonymous, pseudonyms and real IDs trading with each other , governments ought to be able to get on board and use the ecosystem for the things they are good at, land registers and so on, without having the will or the capacity to inhibit the ecosystem as a whole

                  Nuts.

                  If physical property secured by blockchain titles, then yes, government has to be inside the tent.

                  But government is inherently by its nature irrelevant to ownership of “goodwill” (value in the directed graph of reputational capital) and irrelevant to ownership of crypto coins. Intruding government into the system is a useless, dangerous, and inconvenient encumbrance, a burden both on the block chain, and on any state that is not particularly evil.

                  For non physical property, the government is irrelevant, and virtuous government would not be interested in getting inside that tent.

        At least in some special cases, you could hide physical things and have its location data in encrypted form.

          OK. Let’s say a mutually trusted party (not-USG) buries a shitton of gold at a secret location (not-Fort Knox) and issues not-dollars against it, each not-dollar being a printed promissory note. Each note is unfakeable (with very strict enforcement) and is virtually untraceable once issued, and only the physical possession of a note will entitle you to the promised amount of gold. The note is also transferable without any tax. As paper, it is much easier to secure and transport, and it can be securitised further (not-USDT) to make transmission instantaneous and as secure as current tech allows.

          How is this different from your scheme, except that not-dollars strictly follow a gold standard that retards inflation. And how is the trusted party (not-USG) expected to avoid the temptation to print infinite not-dollars and dump the gold standard, just like the actual USG did with dollars?

            If done competently, nobody even could notice that just by saying or writing an innocuous phrase a large amount of money has just changed hands.

      You want it because it gives you power,
      but it also gives others power over you that you may prefer they rather hadn’t.

      People commonly hate each other and want to harm each other,
      only law enforcement and social control hinders them.
      Anonymous crypto currency enables many nasty things:

      https://en.bitcoinwiki.org/wiki/Assassination_market

      Milder, more readily pursued variations:
      -Extortion schemes, hardly or non-detectable
      -Harm and harassment schemes

      Even pupils are engaged in power-and revenge schemes; adults anyway;
      there is always a ready supply of junkies, hobos, lowlifes who are willing to engage in violence for money;
      imagine the horrors if society enables easy anonymous money transfer:
      People will be beaten up, have their limbs broken, knee caps shot etc.;
      right now, people often hardly can hold back to do so themselves to their enemies;
      when they can just pay to have it done to the people they hate, many will do so;
      you yourself would not be safe – from hateful ex partners, jealous women, people who hold a secret grudge
      because you looked at them in the wrong way.
      Physical revenge and hostility is one thing;
      but there would be more subtle ways to harm others – if anybody can anonymously bribe clerks, government employees, even the mail man (who may “lose” important mail for you), your life can easily become hell and you won’t know why or who’s behind it.
      Rich people could make a sport out of harming people they just don’t like:
      Your tires are pierced, you become the victim of arson, your windows are broken again and again,
      Your kids are beaten up on their way to school, …
      so many options, so little one could do to protect oneself.

      Doesn’t sound like a good idea for a well-functioning civilization to me.

      Of course, those things can be done already without anonymous crypto money, but it takes a lot more brains and resources to do,
      so the vast majority can’t and everybody is much safer.

        Why should government have all the fun? Private violence to remove problem people is a good thing. What is a problem is private violence to extort and intimidate people, which anonymous money transfer does not particularly facilitate.

    a) Post-pandemic public school, one where I’ve intervened, forcefully, to keep my child’s education on track on multiple occasions, that can offer supplemental reading support, and, because it’s supported by tax dollars, allows me to easily afford private one on one tutoring; school has a full spectrum of teachers, some outright bozos, others who are strong classroom managers, but having difficulting retaining staff; woke parents pushing for CRT and LGBTQ agenda, but hasn’t had much impact on the day to day.

    b) Small, Christian school with a strong, well regarded leader, but that would suck up much of budget for tutoring, extra activities; wife doesn’t work, so not a lot of free cash flow and must spend dollars prudently – also means can be more liberal about family budget in general.

    Obviously, small Christian school has been open much of this school year, public school just opened up 5 day a week in-person and on track for in person next year. Small Christian school would have been better fore this year, but don’t want to drive based on what I see in the rear view mirror.

                For every self-taught maverick there are innumerable idiots. In the absence of a sane credentialing mechanism/fair performance test it is impossible for a potential employer to differentiate between them. A lot on the right see the presence of a dysfunctional credentialing mechanism and posit that the very existence of a credentialing mechanism is the problem, and that we would all be better off if there were no credentials at all. This is coupled with a liberal dose of anti-priest kvetching that sounds rather lame. Elections (in USA as well as India) have to be fought on the basis of prole votes (because they’re large in number) but I’m not fighting any elections so I write the truth, popularity be damned.

                A man’s guru defines his gotra for life, which is of equal status to his hereditary lineage, like an über-credential. A guru who chooses poor-quality disciples suffers loss of prestige and fails to attract good disciples and the King’s funds, losing priestly status. Parental apprenticeship is good enough for proles and, to a limited extent, for Vaishyas. It is horribly insufficient for warriors as well as priests.

                Almost none of my professors actually built any stuff for use by real people in the real world. Where’s the feedback loop?

                This is strange and I feel sorry for you. Most of my professors had extremely lucrative side hustles, and you could clearly tell which was more knowledgeable by the number and scale of his side hustles. We had to practically beg them to teach us the tools of the trade. Some of them were truly scholars who could spot an error in a standard textbook (and tell if you were simply mugging up lol) and explain exactly why the “wrong” answer was “wrong.” Half of them were ever-prepared to resign their teaching position if their side hustles were threatened. I repeat: most professors had paying customers that dwarfed their teaching income. So why did they maintain professorships? Priestly status, of course.

                Perhaps the situation is too bad in the USA, but in India it is relatively easy to create a small/medium enterprise and hire whoever you want. “Credentialism” isn’t really a thing apart from Big Corporate/Government. Even in highly regulated professions, you can rent a credentialed person to sign off on work actually done by others. I see no way to filter out capable candidates from idiots on a small scale short of conducting examination/interview of every single candidate, which is beyond the means of a small enterprise.

                The solution to a bad educational system is a good educational system. The solution to a bad credentialing system is a good credentialing system[1] (which was the original reason for choosing civil servants through mass competitive examination). Relentless anti-priest signalling is lame.

                [1] “Good” credentialing system implying a system that greatly limits incapable people from getting credentials — rolling back reservation/affirmative action will get us 80% of the way there.

                  “Haskell actually is quite useful—in one context. It’s an excellent teaching language for advanced students in a first-rate undergraduate CS program. Learning Haskell cannot help but teach you many challenging concepts, and it is inevitable that those who are both smart and dedicated will master these concepts. The rest will not. And thus the university system performs its principal function, the assignment of rank. If you venture to suggest that the same function could be performed, at two orders of magnitude less cost, by an IQ test and three weeks at Parris Island, you are probably some kind of a fascist.”

                  Years ago at my then employer I overheard a software engineering colleague giving a phone screen interview to a potential candidate. One of the questions he asked the candidate was, “Can you tell me what a linked list is.” and I burst out laughing (and I’m not even a software engineer. I’m a hardware engineer). He later said it was no joke. Many of the candidates didn’t know. Needless to say they never got further than the phone screen.

          In my part of the world, I haven’t seen homeschooling yield good results in that the small sample I know (maybe 20 families) haven’t produced fully functional adults able to support themselves without the help of a parent or non-homeschooled spouse. Maybe it’s different elsewhere. Most families who run into problems with government schools – and there are many problems to be had – experience good results with small private schools of some variety. My observation is that most young children enjoy the socialization at school and being in a dedicated classroom where they are free of distraction to soak up a variety of basic skills.

          Distance learning during the pandemic was a disaster for most of the families I know. My own 6 yr old essentially had a nervous breakdown when school was shut. I saw a lot of children get very fat, anxious, depressed and weird during shutdown, but maybe because it was an extraordinary situation. They were shut in with only mom, dad, siblings and few others. They were so happy, and strangely liberated, to go back to school in person.

          Another observation – the kids in elementary spend a lot of time lining up and moving around the school to various activities. At first it seemed repressive to my adult eyes, but then I realized it helped their brains organize, enabling them to navigate large public gatherings and hierarchies. This realization came after watching some homeschoolers at a complete loss in navigating a public festival and unable to quickly resolve issues by finding the appropriate authority to ask. (Every adult is an authority to these kids.) Again, maybe my area is particularly dysfunctional .

          • HS says:

            I was homeschooled in an area with lots of other homeschoolers. My county and two neighboring counties had homeschool groups with 100-300 people each (moms and kids), so I’ve grown up with a lot of homeschooled kids. My observation is similar to yours, but not completely the same and I have an insight about why.

            The main insight I have on homeschooling is that it magnifies the influence of the parents on the kids, for good and ill. Parents who were social had social kids. Parents who awkward and not social had awkward kids. Parents who could navigate their professional industry had kids who were able to get jobs and do well or ok.

            To your observation, NeoRex. A number of homeschool moms are a little kooky. They have strong opinions about how the world works despite only being a mom and going to church. That’s perfect except some husbands let their wive’s ignorance get amplified onto their kids, making them unable to navigate the world outside their parent’s home. Moms who never worked and think employers want x, y, z have that magnified influence on their kids I noted. They ended up with kids who weren’t woke and were Christian and wanted to have kids, but who also can’t function in a corporate environment or grasp why businesses won’t “give” them a good job. Even though they’re “smart, well-read, and self-taught”. The kids with stupid, entitled moms (and disinterested/cowed dads) became ignorant and entitled. I knew two families with a mom of five who sent their kids to christian colleges and the kids became doctors or lawyers or floral arrangers. And I knew families where the mom was ignorant and the kids are salesman or warehouse workers expecting to one day find their mission in life where money and political influence magically appears like the money in her checking account.

            Homeschooling is great if your wife is capable and intelligent and you supervise and participate. It’s meh if your wife couldn’t do what you want your kids to be able to do. It’s great for fighting the poz in your kid’s minds if your wife and church aren’t woke. It’s bad if your wife listens to Oliver Demille or thinks you have to be able to paint to understand the scientific method.

          • Pseudo-Chrysostom says:

            The great families of yore didn’t send their kids to institutions, and they also didn’t ‘homeschool’; what they did is hire masters to tutor them, or arrange for them to be apprenticed to masters.

              As I said, children soak up knowledge like sponges, but they need adults to soak it up from.

              So you have to give them adequate exposure to adults who are gainfully employed if you want them to obtain gainful employment. Home schooling by stay at home mum is unlikely to suffice for sons.

              (Don’t give your daughters exposure to adults with gainful employment – give them exposure, however, to well behaved mothers of children.)

              • Rick says:

                I can confirm this. I was home schooled and past age 13 or so my mother couldn’t really teach me and I had to play catch up when I hit college especially in math and sciences. I even tried to get a job at that age just so I could start learning how things worked but child labor laws got in the way. I even offered to work under the table. My father was largely absent, ironically busy teaching higher schoolers while failing to instruct his son.

                I was very lucky that the jr. college I attended had adjunct instructors who actually worked in the fields I was studying to instruct me. The worst teachers I had were the ones who were full time. I got a much better education that most of the people I started working with later who went to much more expensive universities.

  23. Is Monero a worthwhile investment, or just something to convert to when you need increased privacy?

    • Pooch says:

      The latter. Does not scale.

    • jim says:

      Two problems. It is possible to undetectably print more Monero, and it is rapidly approaching its consensus bandwidth limit. So in the long run, might well be a poor investment. We need a privacy tool that provides privacy in a different way. Grin would be better – needs more work. If some decent development work was done on Grin, I would invest.

      It’s probably due to a new Chinese regulatory crackdown.

    • ERTZ says:

      In my opinion, current crypto currencies are a rare example of something that unites all major governments with a common interest:
      To get rid of them.
      They are a destabilizing factor in that they are potentially anonymous, which no gov can allow, because it facilitates tax evasion and undetectable crime (somewhat competent extortion schemes, for example).
      Even intelligence agencies should want them gone, because they already have established traditional methods of transferring money anonymously for their needs.

      I’d expect a concerted action of all major govs at once at some time to deal a decapitation blow to crypto currencies not controlled by them.

      If you think cryptos can successfully withstand such an attack compare it to another form of what could remotely be classified as digital currency as well: Child pornography.
      Govs are quite good at keeping it down – try to trade some if you have doubts.

      IRS&friends also already have rules in place that require positive proof of origin of funds being from a lawful source or transaction – otherwise any money is considered unlawful and will be confiscated. Those rules can easily be made more severe in requirements and enforcement.

      Currently govs want a monetary expansion, due to the virus emergency,
      but once that ends and central banks begin to scoop off excess liquidity from money markets to keep inflation in check, I’d expect an overwhelming, concerted, coordinated attack on crypto currencies all over the world at once everywhere.
      I’d think they are already organizing it.

      If not, crypto currencies would be the 1st example in human history of a successful, stable mass hysteria of legions of idiots becoming and staying rich by doing pretty much nothing.
      Most unlikely to happen, IMO.
      And just like it always was in financial euphoria, those that have become rich on paper (be it from tulips, stocks, silver(Hunt Brothers), and now crypto currencies) feel that they will be able to sell it all before everybody else does if “something” happens and so protect their recently gained wealth – but like always, a large crowd will try to exit through a small door at once, selling will become impossible or only doable at vastly reduced prices.

        There are terabytes of child pornography on bittorrent. It is difficult to avoid downloading it by accident. The major obstacle to trading in child pornography is the same as the major obstacle to trading in pornography at all: competition from free.

        I tend to launch half a dozen bittorent downloads that sound like they might be the file I want, because so many bittorrent downloads fail, and there are no end of surprising files out there. I would say they have become considerably rarer than they used to be, maybe governments have succeeded in reducing it to hundreds of gigabytes.

        Fiat is doomed. It will take a long time to die, but I stay out of fiat as far as possible.

        Hodl.

        Convert fiat to crypto as the opportunity arises, never convert crypto to fiat or dollar denominated stablecoin. Spend crypto for goods and services as the opportunity arises.

        Invest in real things, like real estate, but managing real estate is hard, and governments keep introducing swinging taxes on real things. Invest in smart people, but again hard, as the priesthood converges businesses from above and below. Also inconveniently illiquid. So one needs substantial investments in shared hallucinations, unreal estate. Crypto currency has a lot more value as a shared hallucination than fiat money, because resistant to government debasement and confiscation.

      • Virtus says:

        Join the club fren. People have been saying governments will coordinate a crackdown on cryptocurrencies since… probably since 2009 but I know of a few I’ve read from 2011. Guess what, no matter how hard they try it cannot be done. Cat is out of the bag. Think you cut the head off of one and like the hydra several more will pop up in it’s place. All it takes to store your keys is ~12 words. Think you can get rid of every inch of writing? All it takes to transmit a transaction is the ability to broadcast a hash string. Think you can filter every single packet on the internet? Every time a government initiates a crackdown… it just makes the price go up in that market. Has happened quite a few times before.

        > If not, crypto currencies would be the 1st example in human history of a successful, stable mass hysteria of legions of idiots becoming and staying rich by doing pretty much nothing.

        Nocoiner COPE. Deal forever with the fact that you had MORE THAN A DECADE to accumulate, and you didn’t. Maybe you can catch the next big wave of human innovation on wealth curation?

        > feel that they will be able to sell it all before everybody else does

        Why the fuck would I liquidate all my investments? You fundamentally do not understand the value proposition and therefore vastly underestimate the total worth of these systems — well I don’t. This isn’t some ponzi, no matter how much COPING nocoiners schreech, this is the new way of doing trade. Welcome to the new paradigm. Getting out doesn’t mean switching to something better, it means going Kaczynski.

      • jim says:

        > feel that they will be able to sell it all before everybody else does

        No one substantial invests in crypto currency expecting to sell it for fiat. We invest in crypto currency because we don’t trust fiat. That is the value proposition. You invest in things because you believe their value proposition.

        Limits on moving fiat between jurisdictions are tight and getting tighter. Governments do that when they expect a run. I expect a run – not tomorrow, probably not next year or the year after, but I expect a run. If you have fiat or substantial fiat denominated assets when the run comes, you are in trouble.

            My stance is that abandoning one’s tribe to seek refuge in a foreign tribe is cowardly. However, escaping with remnants of your tribe to escape slaughter to a foreign land (to conquer it) as the Trojans did is sometimes necessary.

For those of us who are christian thats fine… make it a new christian religious cult designed to displace the lies of modern American cuckstitianity but put a slightly new twist.

                The Ron Hubbard operation, similarly the Mormon operation.

                But their operations had a big lie at their center, and their success depended on the big lie. We want a big truth at our center.

                The Mormons quickly sidelined their big lie, and success of the Mormons then came in large part from sustaining a coercive operation in support of marriage, hence they had about four female converts for every male convert (they looked like the strong tribe to women). It was possible to maintain coercion in support of marriage because the frontier was near. How do we do it?

                  The brass tablets were falsified. The Resurrection is unfalsifiable.

                  Further, the history recorded in the brass tablets obviously contradicts what we know, and was made up by someone who did not know much about prehistory. The history recorded in the old and new testaments is generally consistent with what we know, both of particular events and places, and the general way things happened during that time. They were sort of incidents that could happen in those times.. The first cities had temples at their center. The exodus happened at about the time of the fall of bronze age civilization, during which there were vast mass movements of armed refugees, and in the battles of skirmishers versus Kings the skirmishers did try to lure the chariots into swampy ground and ground near bodies of water. After that, Israel was anarchic for a long time, and then it had Kings.

                  As for the flood, sea levels rose about a hundred meters about ten thousand years ago which, if you are farming a river delta in the middle east, is likely to be seriously inconvenient.

                  And, as I commented above, the history recorded on them is obviously totally fictitious, while the history in the bible is mostly consistent with what we know. We know from Roman history that Herod was King, he had big succession troubles, Pontius Pilate was procurator, he executed Jesus, and subsequently Rome had problems with the followers of the man he executed.

                  We know from what few and little writings survived the fall of Bronze Age civilization that there were mass movements of armed refugees looking for a place to settle, and apt to cheerfully eradicate the previous occupants, around the time of Exodus. The Tribe of Dan were merchant and sailors, who, during the fall of Bronze Age civilization, became pirates and raiders. Some of them founded or helped found Sparta, others of them helped found the promised land. Being, as is recorded in the Old Testament, a sea people, they showed up all over. The events of the Old Testament are mostly not recorded history except in the Old Testament, but they intertwine with recorded history from a multitude of other sources.

                  But Jim, you want to live under Christ, so we have a strange mix of Jimian Christian values. But strange does not have to mean bad. Could work to our advantage.

                  The mix means that cooperation is possible with both Christian and non-Christian communities. The emphasis is slightly different is all.

                  We will succeed because we live in line with Gnon’s will, as Jesus Christ, God’s only son and logos incarnated, wanted us to.

                  But I do think someone must serve as a rallying point. Must be an alive spiritual leader, even if that leader is retelling the word of a more important, long gone spiritual leader.

                • jim says:

                  There is plenty of history of prophets in hiding and on the run, but it is hard to be a rallying point while maintaining cover. The tides of history are not favorable at this moment. They could turn – Trump could have ridden National Capitalism to the throne, but he abandoned his troops on the field.

                  When leftism is stopped from going ever lefter, there will be a vacuum for a new old faith to expand into, and then we can and should aggressively expand into that vacuum even in the face of severe repression, as the Christians did. But now, repression is tough and rapidly escalating, and the potential mass movement converts are not there, because the enemy faith is still live.

                  Severe repression is likely if leftism is stopped from getting lefter by a Stalin, moderate and erratic repression likely if it is stopped from getting lefter by a Cromwell. If a Pinochet, we will have lots of room for a movement, and will likely get his ear.

                  I have a small circle of in real life male friends with well behaved wives, who even though some of them are theoretically blue pilled, are respectful, not merely tolerant, but respectful, of my views on women and marriage. It is not a movement, it is not even a club, but it indicates the possibility of a movement. But the time is not yet. I am not evangelizing in person, it is just that when drunk I say more than I should.

                  And my hands are full at this moment with my crypto currency project, which is way behind schedule, and is designed among its other design objectives to provide a space for organization in a repressive environment. When it is actually useful for such a purpose, it should be used for such a purpose.

                • Krakatoa says:

                  I don’t see much utility in criticising the supposed ahistoricality of the gold plates as I doubt anyone in history became a Christian because the Bible was “generally consistent” with recorded history.

                  And your criticism’s of Joseph Smith can be easily explained away, as that church’s adherents actually do in practice.

                  In the end, both religions require a leap, but the distance leapt is still the same to a neutral observer. No point in denying this, in my opinion.

              • Virtus says:

                >start creating religious cults

                This is the conclusion I have reached. Let me lay out the trends I’m seeing, before giving you my thesis.

                – Digital life and relationships are becoming primary. People get along better and associate more an more with their online filter bubble. It becomes more normal and easier to translate online relationships to in-person physical ones, and to form strong bonds with their friends made through online means.

                – Algorithmic control and manipulation of people’s information flows is getting easier to manage, more subtle, and more powerful. I anticipate that not long from now you will need a sort of ‘conodom’ to prevent getting directly manipulated by hostile parties when using the internet. Even such things as rearranging the order of comments on a blog can subtly affect your perception and mood, imagine what happens when most people are captured by these manipulation tools. Well, you don’t have to imagine, do you? We’re already here. You only have to picture it becoming more complete.

                – Brain imaging, interpretation of brain data, and inducing change in brain structures is becoming cheaper, easier, and more capable. I’m not talking scifi schizo stuff here, you can look at for example the Kernel Flow helmet and studies related to it. People will at first use these as nerdy hobby things, but they will become more and more normal just like video games and the internet.

                – We now have working internet contract, governance, and currency systems. Every day they get easier to use, more efficient, more capable. The next big step once the hiccups related to scaling get ironed out — which, they pretty much are now, the solutions are there, we need only market convergence — is introducing secure datafeeds to these contract systems. So they will no longer be these game-like systems where people trade arbitrary tokens back and forth, but we will be able to make contracts and governance systems that function on real world events and data.

                – ISIS very successfully recruited from the west, using western technologies to do it. It was fundamentally an entirely novel religious movement, though based in old ideas, utilizing the social toolsets we have invented to leverage themselves far more followers than they might have had otherwise. They may have been one of the first but they almost definitely will not be the last.

                Are you starting to see the picture I’m seeing? This won’t be one cult. This will be a thousand, a million competing cults using top of the line social coordination technology to grab the most followers and the most resources, physical and digital. We’re in for a real wild ride this century.

                  > The next big step once the hiccups related to scaling get ironed out — which, they pretty much are now, the solutions are there, we need only market convergence

                  ISIS did OK because the tools they were using were not manipulated against them, because racist to notice Islamic terrorism. We are going to need tools more resistant. (As well as blockchains that implement now known solutions to the consensus bandwidth problem)

                  > conjures Vital energy into existence, suffusing the folk with power

                  That it does, but our enemies are vigilant and very aware of this phenomenom.

                  In vastly more tolerant times, Mormons had to retreat deeper and deeper into the frontier, and eventually they ran out of frontier, and the authorities came after them.

                  I cannot see that operation succeeding under current circumstances unless we create a colony in Siberia, which would require permission from Putin and the Russian Orthodox Church.

                  But, as a previous commenter pointed out, ISIS hints at the possibility of hiding a similar operation in the vast dark jungles of the internet.

                • Pseudo-Chrysostom says:

                  The broader point is that Socialization is powerful, wherever and whatever mediums it may take place through – that you ought indeed pursue it wherever and through whatever medium you may.

                  In the denatured speech of modernity, this is sometimes called ‘networking’, or ‘building long term relationships’; properly understood, it is about *forming brotherhoods*.

                • Pseudo-Chrysostom says:

                  That is to say, one of the most practical problems a man of good will may solve in this era, is the making of brotherhood formation more possible. As you might say, such a thing is a ‘basic precondition of possibility’.

              Doesn’t feel that way.

              Man is a social animal, and anything of lasting effect is done in a communal sense. If you leave your ancestral community for a faraway land, you willingly atomize yourself. Unless of course you take your community with you, but I doubt that’s the case.

              So I think the right take on fleeing is similar to Paul’s take on marriage: most men should stay and defend their land. But for some, moving far away might be the preferred option.

People have asked me to publish, but I have published. See the bottom right of https://blog.reaction.la/ The internet never forgets.

              It is all good. I ask only for information. I have enough information along with the Hydera protocol and the Anonymous Multi Hop protocol to implement the coin part of your system but it would be of a poorer quality than your product and would take much longer. The other parts, the network engineering and the Zooko identification and messaging system, would be much harder, as I know nothing about these apart from what I have read on this blog.

              But if you are continuing on the project then it would be a waste of my time to make my own crappier and slower version. It would also be a pretty shitty Mark Zuckerberg-tier thing to do even if I could pull it off.

              The only way it would be feasible for me to go it alone is if you did not carry on.

              • Joe says:

                That should read Hedera and Anonymous Multi-Hop Locks.

              • jim says:

                Go right ahead.

                The sooner we get something out there that supports anonymous multi hop locks, the sooner we have a decent De-fi (De-fi is currently sucky, and there is clear demand for something better.)

                There is a problem with locks, and that is that free lock gives you a free currency option. It takes some thinking to implement cryptographically our current trust based true name based system for options, where you offer an option to anyone and everyone, and having offered it, first taker gets the option without interacting with you, and having taken it, is stuck with it – he does not get free option on his option. He has to pay for his option, having accepted your offer, neither party can now back out.

                A defi market that works will support cryptographic, and cryptographically enforced rather than human enforced, options trading. Writing a put on crypto coin one in crypto coin two is equivalent to writing a call on crypto coin two in crypto coin one.

                I am not prioritizing strong anonymity, and am making many compromises on anonymity for the sake of usability and efficiency.

                The design objective is that machine ids and public keys are easily associated with IP addresses, pseudonyms and pseudonym public keys not so easily. About as pseudonymous as the good old days of usenet, before it died under the shills and spammers.

                Our objectives and our tools do not overlap, and to the extent that they do, then when stuff works we can copy from each other.

                I have a chronic problem of letting the best be the enemy of the good enough. If you see a spot for something that is good enough, jump right into it, and do not let my plans for the best get in the way. When I finally go public, it will at first be far from the best.

                What I am trying to do is build something that is very far from the best, but is upwardly compatible with the best. But the vision of the best will evolve, and will evolve better the more things that are out there that are good enough.

                • Joe says:

                  Okay.

                • jim says:

                  We urgently need DeFi that works like options trading, only instead of writing puts and calls between fiat currency and shares, you write puts and calls between two cryptocurrencies.

                  Existing DeFi markets have a huge problem stopping people from using hanging locks as free options on relative cryptocurrency values, and their fixes and workarounds for this problem are profoundly unsatisfactory, user hostile, and disturbingly centralized.

                  That is not a project that I am working on, and it needs to be done. And, having been done, likely to be hugely profitable for the people who did it.

                  A half completed lock on a DeFi market, a hanging lock on an atomic exchange between two crypto currencies, is a free option on the relative value of two cryptocurrencies, so people keep the locks hanging half completed.

                  The locks were designed by people sophisticated in cryptography, but ignorant about options trading.

                  Get the locks done right, so that they work like existing trust based options, you will get rich.

                • Joe says:

                  Here is my plan.

                  Target systems: Debian and Windows 64-bit. Command line interface. Assume founding peers would be disinclined to run on home IP and would run on a VPS instead.

                  Language: C++11 or higher compiled with GCC or MinGW.

                  Dependencies: libsodium 1.18; SQLite3; Berkeley sockets.

                  Roadmap:

                  1. Implement Hedera protocol but with voting weight on PoS rather than trusted IPs. Transactions (v1) as basic as possible, no locks, etc. Each input signed separately unless MuSig is very easy to implement. Transacting between peers is possible.

                  2. Implement transactions v2 with locks as needed to support AMHL. Perhaps implement MuSig, if not then in transactions v3.

                  3. Implement atomic cross-chain swaps and off-chain transfers as per AMHL.

                  4. De-Fi. Assuming that transactions that support AMHL also support De-Fi.

                  I only just heard about De-Fi so any people who know about options trading might want to look into this as well and I will take on board what they know.

                  Fee structure TBA. I propose fees paid to network and allocated each voting round according to coin weight of timely voting peers. Voting rounds establish fees for the round after next (vote[n] determines fee[n+2]). Rounds are one week long. Peers state their desired fees. Determined fees are median of all desired fees. Fees are set on: permanent storage; segwit storage; signatures verified; any other limited peer resource.

                  Client software TBA. Assume early adopters run peers, not clients.

                • jim says:

                  Seems sound to me. What I chose, except for the Berkeley sockets part. There is an inherent problem with Berkley sockets. It is vulnerable to DDoS, and so for anything that the Cathedral does not particularly like, lo and behold, there is a DDoS, and you wind up signing up with Cloudfare’s DDoS protection, which is an enemy.

                  If you release with Berkeley sockets, you need to have a plan in place for upgrading to a protocol more resistant with DDoS.

                  You need to get out first, and I am always letting the best be the enemy of the good enough. It is good enough to come out with something that works with Berkeley sockets, and worry about DDoS later.

                  I don’t know the state of Berkeley sockets DDoS resistance without using Cloudfare. Maybe it is better than I think. I have not done adequate investigation of all these hosting sites that offer DDoS protection. How do they do their DDoS protection? The fact that you never get access to the DDoS mechanisms worries me.

                  Perhaps μTP, with a anti DDoS patch. μTP is also vulnerable to DDoS, but you have the source code. I don’t have a solution in place. I am farting around with various libraries trying to figure out which one is best to build a solution upon. I would love someone else to be doing that. May I should stop farting around and just go with Berkeley sockets, which works.

                  The basic anti DDOS protocol that has to be integral with your handshake to form a connection has to work as follows:

                  Client sends a packet requesting a connection, containing a single use public key, corresponding to client’s randomly generated single use private key, and all the other parameters needed for the connection. Server, without allocating any resources sends back a PoW request, its single use public key, any server parameters that the client will need, the client parameters it has just received, and its mac of all this. The information might well be sent in the clear to save one hundred μsec on each message, since I cannot see any way for bad people to exploit it, but bad people are full of surprises and one hundred μsec is tiny.

                  The proof of work, and the correct result for the proof of work, depends, of course, on the mac, whether we encrypt or not.

                  When the server receives the reply, it then allocates resources for the connection, among them information preventing re-use of that the proof of work based on that mac.

                  Berkely sockets does not allot any resources either, but it does not have a pow, and no way to demand a pow until after you have set up a connection and encryption.

                  Once the connection is running, the server prioritizes service for a connection in reverse order of resource consumption, so that if someone does a DDoS after forming a connection, he goes to the back of the queue – the only way to do DDoS is to perform a lot of pows.

                • Joe says:

                  I will go with TCP Berkeley sockets for now with a plan to upgrade as soon as possible to a DDOS-resistant solution.

    Any insight into how the near term economy is going to go? My super conservative real-estate investments are way up and I was wondering about refing them and put some that money to work in crypto or an index fund.

    Seems like a good idea if we’re going to continue to see massive inflation because I’ll just pay the loans back with inflated BidenBucks.

    • jim says:

      Leveraging real estate when inflation looms is apt to be lucrative bet. Worst case you will not lose all that much. Moderately competent investment will beat mortgage interest rates. If nothing much happens, you will likely get a higher return on your investments than the interest on the mortgage, and if, as is increasingly likely, fiat money becomes worthless …

      Best case they do the great minority mortgage meltdown all over again and print piles of money for brown people and single women with no income, no job, and no assets to move into green leafy suburbs – which they promptly abandon, because the surviving suburbs are built to be inconvenient for their lifestyle.

          I had specifically in mind the situation of the mortgage meltdown as incredibly lucrative.

          During the great mortgage meltdown you could, and in November and early December of 2005 a huge number of people did, pull a drunken unemployed homeless illegal wetback with no papers out of the gutter with a bottle of whisky, and have him make his mark on a four million dollar mortgage for a million dollar house carrying a two million dollar mortgage. There were entire streets of houses so sold in the bay area.

          And no one was ever charged, because racist. Not one person.

          And then after that, when payments failed to come in, the bank kept rolling the mortgage over for a higher mortgage for a year or two, even though this theoretically requires the mortgagor to sign the papers for the new mortgage, and it is highly unlikely that they would have been able to find the mortgagor. From December until the thing collapsed, it was all rollovers in New York, with real sales in the Bay Area largely ended in 2005.

    Jim what’s the best way to convert Cardano to USD without paying taxes? Bisq doesn’t support ADA yet right?

    • jim says:

      Cardano is the anti privacy currency, the evil twin of Monaro. I recommend it because it is proof of stake, high consensus bandwidth, and being actively improved by a bunch of very smart people. And, being proof of stake, has great potential to go rogue as the regulatory crisis arrives.

      I don’t recommend converting Cardano directly to USD unless you are going to pay taxes. Convert to Monaro, perhaps convert back to bitcoin, rinse the bitcoin in Wasabi wallet, and sell in person through the De-Fi. Or use a De-Fi altcoin to cash out.

      The De-Fi markets are awfully thin, because, as Cardano points out, they lack big market makers, or even the capability to have big market makers. Cardano is doing a De-Fi, or about to do a De-Fi, but it will probably be evil unless they go rogue in the regulatory crisis.

      The De-Fi do not support Cardano because evil. It will be interesting to see what happens with Cardano’s De-Fi.

      If you actually need to buy something that requires US dollars, then cash out, but I recommend hodling and paying no attention to the daily noise from the markets.

      I don’t (ever) convert crypto currency back into fiat money. I buy crypto currency with US dollars and sometimes spend the crypto currency directly as crypto currency. Over the next decade or two, I expect everyone will do the same, though the software is not yet ready for that. So I am not the man to ask how to do it.

      • Pooch says:

              • jim says:

                These are all centralized exchanges with some degree of KYC, but Cardano itself has a sort of KYC, in that its basic coin format supports blockchain analysis, wasting space on the blockchain with unnecessary information. But once the money is in another currency, you can escape KYC. And I rather expect that their lightning network will eventually be resistant to analysis.

                Cardano is designed to provide identity to wallets, so that *wallets* can have KYC. But you can have an anonymous wallet. The problem is that transfers between anonymous wallets and KYC wallets reveals the identity of the anonymous wallet. This can be fixed in a lightning network with exchanges happening off blockchain, and coins being mingled off blockchain. It is not fixed yet.

        They didn’t get blown up. Non leftist killing a priest/journalist provokes a very strong reaction from the cathedral which is why they’re alive.

          Blow up one Hamas leader, AP will just get another. Blow up AP, and Hamas loses its command and control. Blow up the ngos in Gaza, and it loses its funding and logistics.

            The reaction form the US would have been pretty bad. And yes they should have killed them. They should also flatten every area that fires a rocket at Israel. They would have effectively left the American empire with that singular act and Netanyahu might very likely would have been overthrown by the Cathedral agents within his government.

            Netanyahu’s playing a game of pretending to be strong while not out and out leaving the American empire. This is making Israel weaker and weaker, but the fact is Israel wouldn’t be able to handle the US coming after Israel the way we went after Libya. They’re just as POZed as us but they only have a fraction of our military power.

            Netanyahu needs either nukes or a nuclear power backing him before he can pull that trigger and if I remember right you are of the opinion Israel doesn’t have working nukes and the US knows it.

                  In the holy faith of progressivism, sand joggers are holier than Jews, and to be sufficiently holy, a Jew has to agree with this. There are still quite a lot of Jews around within the elite who do not in fact agree with this, whereupon we get a Jew on Jew conflict.

                  A Muslim should back Muslims, and a Jew should back Jews. If a Jew backs Muslims, it does not mean we can trust him more than a Jew that backs Jews, it means we can trust him even less. Which does not mean we need to care too much about this Jew on Jew conflict.

                  If you hear someone telling you that sand joggers are holier than Jews, chances are he is a Soros shill. We don’t care and should not care which ones are holier. It is an internal Jewish conflict, and while the Jews on one side of the conflict are our enemies, the Jews on the other side of the conflict are far from being reliable friends.

My own writing, for example, is of sufficient quality to pursue professional writing blogging in a paper or magazine, but what’s the point? Our aim is to say the truth, and ensure it spreads widely, which is currently incompatible with making money.

        This is also the reason that Dharma prohibits priests from seeking money for services — because then they would have a perverse incentive to say untruths and pleasant lies, negating the very function of the priesthood (acting as a common source of truth for everyone else). This is also why a just King is required to maintain and nourish priests in His Kingdom, who must have no independent source of income. A sane, truthful priesthood serves to ensure that proles, Vaishyas, and warriors are all on the same page as the King.

            This is the natural state of priests, and it cannot be helped. Priesting simply isn’t very profitable. Good thing that a fraction of men consider status to be derived from knowledge and its application rather than from money, and such men are priest-like, and the relatively lesser money (compared to arch-Vaishyas) is not a problem for their status.

            A good sovereign must choose to nurture sane, eusocial priests, as is the case with any patriotic National Church, or in a lot of Muslim lands till WWI — where the Supreme Spiritual Authority in the world is united with the Supreme Temporal Authority in the person of the Caliph.

            …[priests] not only can be rich, but will proudly display the all the cool panoply their stations can afford them.

            Priests can indeed be rich, in absolute terms. For example, temple endowments are the richest trusts in India, and have little to no expense, just investing and increasing their holdings. Similar to the apocryphical university professor who might have multi-million grants but would still walk to his office (or drive a two-stroke Saab). Even if he bought a Mercedes, it would be a diesel one (which would probably run vegetable oil). Or the priest who presides over a millionaires’ parish but drives the same FIAT for 50 years (and his descendants sell the car in perfect condition after he passes lol — “vicar’s car” is a thing in the UK).

            Proud “display of wealth” is déclassé for priests, and is a Vaishya trait. Priests always proudly display superior holiness which is their currency. If priests are running after money, it means that superior holiness is being granted by money (a very American thing), and indicative of the sovereign having been already corrupted by Mammon.

              If you’re going to say it is inevitable then that means you had no reason to make noise about it in the first place.

              My point was trying to make organizations ‘non-profit’ doesn’t make them non profit. When you try to block up a steampipe, the pressure simply routes around through cracks, fissures, and side-channels instead – power always seeks to accomplish what it always and already sought to accomplish, but in this case, in far more messy and deleterious forms, than allowing power to route through the most obvious, explicit, and elegant outlets.

            • The Cominator says:

              Displays of superior holiness beyond a certain point are to be the sole province of monastic types in remote areas… but among the regular priesthood who preach to the people it needs to be punished swiftly and often by death.

              Priestly types need to be kept on a very very tight leash enforced by harsh punishment.

              • suones says:

                Exactly. Since superior holiness is the currency of priests, their failure mode is holiness-spiralling. Similarly, the failure mode of Vaishyas is crony capitalism, and the failure mode of warriors is civil war. None of them is a desirable outcome, and they all must be swiftly identified and harshly punished, usually by death or banishment.

                • The Cominator says:

                  Crony capitalism is more a result of priests and warriors in power favoring certain Vaisyas (merchants) and not generally initiated by the merchants themselves (though corrupt favors for big bribes initiated by the merchants can happen)…

                  Merchants never rule and the idea that they do is a meme spread by marxists and believed by simpletons. The failure mode is always with warriors and priests who do. Maybe if you have a dual classed merchant warrior society like Venice or the Dutch Republic this crony capitalism initiated by merchants themselves is a factor but 99% of the time it isn’t.

This has several implications, but the pertinent one here is that when a wedge is needed, there can be options to pick from.

    So it seems someone got the bright idea that the best thing to try next would be to start sending homosexuals to shill in places not misinformed about men’s fairer counterparts instead. ‘Greetings fellow women haters, I see you hate women, I happen to be something of a woman-hater myself’.

      In real life, it’s not hate to treat children like children, nor to treat women like women, nor to treat ethnic populations as having their characteristic traits. The Left doesn’t (and probably can’t) understand this and therefore sends homos who actual, in the real sense of the word, hate women in an attempt to blend in.

                This logic can be infinitely extended.

                The blacks are not at fault for being indolent where it counts and civilizational arsonists when they feel like doing something. Those white men never finished the task of piously shaping them into ideallic humanoids. Don’t hate the negro, hate the blanco who failed him.

                I am less so angry, which is a more active emotion seeking its level, and more so filled with a sort of quiet disgust and contempt. The women I speak of in these posts, the common variety, they are not worth the brain cycles it requires to render them. Consider this writing an indulgence, I plan to forget about these concepts when I hit submit.

                I am entitled to hate their nature, regardless if they chose it or not, the same as I am entitled to hate the nature of the cockroach or bedbug. Am I blackpilled for this? Do I not understand the cockroach? Surely it must have played an essential role in the lifemap of some ecosystem. We must honor the nature of the cockroach, and shed this idea that they should be removed from our homes and lives. Similarly, we must shed this idea that women are at all at fault for eating of the apple. They are mere substrate and no will or behavior. Furthermore, I do not think ill of women for not acting as men. I think ill of them for not acting as women in the ways that matter. For seeking sexual gratification from an endless line of exciting dicks, sampling as many partners as possible is a male trait. Tattooing and piercing themselves, to signal short-termism and risk taking? Male trait.

                What sort of feminine behavior do we see besides the negative? The rare single mommy nurturing her child? This is solely a civilizational fault? Are we having sympathy for the beta NEETs who jerk alone in their rooms now? The petty criminals? They follow their incentive gradient too, if we’re handing out passes for bad behavior.

                I can cope with reality. I can accept that if I want to pass on a biological legacy, I need an opposite gendered accomplice. I cannot and will not accept that disgusting behavior, motivated by deep roots or not, is justified because ‘well that’s how they are’. I don’t know what the final synthesis of all this becomes, but it’s not caring for the common woman produced by this corpse of a former nation.

                • jim says:

                  The difference is that blacks are inferior in everything except running fast and surviving in the tropical jungle, while women are overwhelmingly superior within the proper sphere of women.

                  From which I conclude we should contain women in the proper sphere of women, where they are very pleasant to have around, and ship blacks back to the tropical jungle to eat each other, whereupon it will be a great relief to not have them around.

                  Not having blacks around isn’t a silver bullet. Domestic proles fill that role everywhere in Asia (including Russia), and the situation would be very bad indeed were it not for organised crime syndicates containing and channeling their energy.

        Then Suddenly the FAA became Elon’s bitch and SpaceX was calling the shots again and Elon was having a ball trolling twitter. I think we all hoped that Elon would Prophet his way to get man to Mars even without official protection. That’s not looking likely right now after SNL.

        I’d speculated that SNL was a trap for the Holy Space Prophet a few weeks ago. Much like Trump at the capital protest, he walked into the Trap as a lamb to the slaughter. Elon’s made mistakes before and has always learned from them and come out stronger because of it. I pray the same happens this time.

            Intel is petitioning USG to cut a few extra pounds of flesh from the backs of Real Americans so it can get a slice too. The argument being since they ditched making chips to now be another platform for preaching the gnostic faith, they should be get dealt in on the present state religion’s racket too.

            Preferential hiring of those made holy by their dysfunction over those made unholy by their function in particular, and disrupting mannerbund formation through introduction of alien elements in general, is of course power sapping work; cannot stand by itself, except if held up by an outside power. So they say, ‘we are in the business of providing black transbian self-esteem; but this noble quest is quite expensive; so give us subsidy, that we may continue providing this valuable good’.

            ‘Microchips are infrastructure’ goes the tagline – and one may take a moment to appreciate how fantastically amazing it is a player could fail to profit from something so inexhaustibly in demand. Intel’s CEO says ‘if you like chips, and you like black transbian self-esteem, then give me money, then we can have our cake and eat it too’. This is what you could perhaps call the NPC normie’s version of lieberulism, typified by it’s solipsism; that there’s this abstract thing called an ‘economy’ out there, which we can inconsequentially squeeze juice out of for doing Nice Things that make us feel Nice.

            But should black transbians have only one section of society where they can be provided self-esteem? If black transbian self-esteem is a Good, then we should converge all those other sectors – that as a matter of coincidence, happened to be yet productive elements – as well. And now that we’re all claiming status as pulpits for preaching the officially unofficial religion, we are now asking for our own cut of the tithe also… But where is that cut coming from…? Such is the Mystery that lies at the heart of this faith, mere acceptance of which demonstrating true piety in it’s kind…

            It’s not hard to say what you want. A company in the business of providing chips can say they are in the business of providing good chips, no providing validation to the chronically insecure. They can say they are in the business of putting together good men for providing good service to good men. That’s just part of the journey though. It’s not enough to simply not share the faith of an enemy; if a man wishes to overcome, he must fully realize his own faith.

            What matter is it to make chips rather than provide black transbian self-esteem? Why pick one over the other? Clearly implied cardinalities are all but impossible to miss when laid out in such form, but make it explicit. The point is one is serving to foster potency, and the other isn’t. The point is civilization. The point is *potent* civilization. Raising your Angel up into the heavens; raising, empowered, *as* the Angel. Raising up towards God, with God, within God.

                In truth, it was like that from the very beginning.

                A hebrew prefers his religion, like everything else, to be abstract and legalistic, a creation without a creator so eminent in it’s motions.

                The idea that divinity can incarnate, that you could open your door and have breakfast with someone mantling God – that you could break fast *with* God (or, as the case may be, something else) – is something his mode of thought does not lend itself to coherence with.

                This is why even in the first place, Christianity caught on much more amongst the Ionians and the Latins, than it did amongst the more geographically proximate levantines.

              • info23 says:

                You seem to miss the Theology of Theosis in Christianity.

                “3His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through the knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence.

                4Through these He has given us His precious and magnificent promises, so that through them you may become partakers of the divine nature, now that you have escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires. ”

                (2 Peter 1:3-4).

                That and the Glorification of the Bodies of the Believers:

                “What is sown is perishable; it is raised imperishable. 43It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
                44It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

                45So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being;” the last Adam a life-giving spirit.

                46The spiritual, however, was not first, but the natural, and then the spiritual.
                47The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven.
                48As was the earthly man, so also are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven.
                49And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so also shall we bear the likeness of the heavenly man. ”

        • Pseudo-Chrysostom says:

          On may 24, 1961, a group of negro preachers and naacp jews boarded a bus, intending to break the law by trespassing into spaces earmarked for the native teutons. And the sovereign reaction to these trouble makers was… a national guard escort to ensure no one got in their way, and glowing reports of their exploits wired by the Megaphone around the world, to ensure every peasant from Inchon to eastern Czechoslovakia heard about what some coons in Mississipi were up too and how that should make them feel.

          If one has ever seen ‘unpopular opinions’ threads in a forum somewhere, one may note that they tend to select for a certain kind of opinion in particular. Not actually exactly unpopular opinions of course, no. But certain kinds of opinions which do have an opposition to certain kinds of demographics. More specifically, opinions of clades rising in status over clades losing in status.

          The relevant clades in this dynamic on the down swing aren’t actually down and out yet. They’re still around. There can be quite a lot still around even, and they may make aggrieved noises when poked. But they don’t have power behind them. Whereas there is power behind the contraventions. And everyone knows it.

          This is what a modern synagogite calls ‘moral courage’: mopping up actions. People see a stick with power, and of course they will pick it up and start using it on others. Their targets won’t like it, of course, and they may even try pushing back, of course – but there is only so far they can push, are *permitted* to push. You know, and they know, that if it becomes an ‘issue’, power will come down on the batters side. And such, the batters go out *looking* to make things into ‘issues’.

            The military. Com’s argument is the military is only going to put up with so much fuckery until they flip the table over and coup. He may have a point but I don’t necessarily think 7 dollar gas will be the inflection point.

          Not taking these ‘well THIS time they’re going too far’ predictions serious. They have been taking it too far for quite a few years now, at a pretty alarming rate. And by and large, society is bending over backwards to accomodate. I was sure that the lockdown and curfew would trigger some kind of response — nope, no one’s rocking the boat.

          People are invested in their societal identities. I see a large portion of the population committing what I’d call ritualistic suicide. These people will not snap out of it, the horror of their actions is too much.

          As for the military — I’ve seen enough assertions that certain institutions have had enough, the federalist dissapointment among them. Why is the military going to be any different? Are there not plenty of women in the military? Are the ‘elite’ units not in large part overrated and stupidly bravado? When was the last time the military acted as a cohesive and functioning unit, instead of bombing third world countries with a trillion one dollar bills with hopes to inflict serious paper cuts? How does one expect lastig loyalty to be created under such circumstances. If one hundred and twenty generals are grumpy, that means there are one hundred and twenty generals. Might as well be no generals.

          • jim says:

            Yes.

            The historical pattern is that a mockery of electoral politics continues for many years before Caesar, Napoleon, or Cromwell takes power.

            Puritan England just kept on getting lefter until Cromwell dismissed Barebone’s parliament. And we lack a Cromwell, thus likely to get a Stalin.

            Sulla and Caesar were clear potential leaders. Where is our potential leader?

            We need one general, not one hundred and twenty generals.

            • Pooch says:

              Caesar and Napoleon did not do anything until it was their own ass on the line. History tells us we will not get a Caesar until he personally feels the pain of the insane elite.

              • alf says:

                Caesar had a long militaristic history, and loyal troops. We don’t have anything resembling a Caesar.

                Napoleon rose through the ranks in the years of terror. We might get a Napoleon, but that means we’ll also get the years of terror. And let us not forget that Napoleon rose through the ranks by killing monarchists 🙃.

                • Pooch says:

                  We have plenty of officers in the military with long military histories and supposedly loyal troops. I surmise we are still in the years of Gracchus and it is going to be some pain and suffering and quite possibly considerable pain and suffering until we get to Caesar.

                • alf says:

                  In Rome, a long military history meant military campaigns in which enemies were defeated, territory was conquered. After victory, the troops paraded proudly through Rome, displaying the spoils of war as well as their enemies in chains. That is the kind of military tradition that breeds loyalty.

                  What is the American equivalent?

                  Iraq?

                  ‘sir we have conquered Iraq sir.’
                  – ‘no private, we have *freed* Iraq from its oppressor. We shall now give it back to the people.’
                  ‘sir seems like the whole country is going down the shithole sir.’
                  – ‘private don’t let me catch you talking smack about democracy and freedom again.’

                  Afghanistan?

                  ‘sir the taliban just killed two of our men, permission to retaliate in the village.’
                  – ‘and risk bad pr? my god man we’re here to make friends. Those men died for a great cause. They died for freedom. Now be a good private and go back teach those Afghan girls how to put a condom over a banana.’

                  The state of our military is just not comparable to the state of Roman military, neither Gracchus nor Caesar.

            • Pooch says:

              Sulla and Caesar were clear potential leaders. Where is our potential leader?

              The big difference is that Rome was a military aristocracy. The politicians were also necessarily successful military leaders. Our politicians are not warriors. Trump is still the leader of the Populares movement but he’s just a merchant. Eventually a military man is going to have to ride the wave he started.

              Jim, it is overly strict if you want just one general instead of 120 generals.

              The Spanish civil war was started by a group of generals. Franco emerged as the leader of that group during the war, but he did not start as the leader. Morover, I doubt that any of these Spanish generals were known to the Spanish population when the war started.

              Any general is a potential leadler, regarless of whether he is widely known to the general public.

              • suones says:

                Franco emerged as the leader of that group during the war, but he did not start as the leader.

                A fact that San Fransisco himself absolutely kept close to heart. He believed in his own status as a “Common Man” who simply “Rode The Tiger” and was “In the Right Place at the Right Time,” rather than as GNON’s Hammer who outlasted Hitler and Mussolini and Salazar and single handedly preserved his nation through extremely turbulent times. He would’ve refused to acknowledge his Divinity even if an angel appeared and smacked him in the head with a crown. He finally handed power “back” to a cucked line of “Kings” who were not fit to lick his boots, and promptly undid everything he laboured for.

                This is what a warrior, lacking memetic sovereignty, looks like — San Fransisco. A warrior absolutely needs a High Priest who, after Victory is achieved, will proclaim him King Emperor by the order of GNON, against his protests, and anoint Him the Lord and Father of all men. A warrior without a high priest is like a dog chasing a car: he wouldn’t know what to do with it once he caught it[1].

                A warrior who has sufficient chops to lead his own Army to victory and also possessing enough memetic sovereingty to be His own High Priest is a rare bird indeed — literal God-King territory. If our plan depends upon waiting for a God-King to appear, well, then that plan sucks. A more pragmatic plan is to assemble a priesthood that anoints the King and then gets the hell out (as Jim mentioned). But even that requires a Prophet, which some feel is incompatible with New Testament etc. Muhammad didn’t pay any attention to NT, ofc. I really hope that when the time comes for one of our own to embrace Prophethood, the one doesn’t shirk from Divine Duty.

            Alf, didn’t lockdown and curfew cause riots in the Netherlands? Paticipating in any anti-government riot is “rocking the boat”, isn’t it?

            Lockdown and curfew did lead to more rallies in Germany than Merkel’s decision of opening the borders. People on the hard left are protesting against the goverment and are surprised to find a counter-rally calling them nazis. Sure, happens all the time to peiple on the left that suddenly others are even more to the left. By itself it won’t change much.

            Germans are by and large law-abiding. The corona-rules are very hard to comply with and ever changing which makes it hard to even find out what the rules are for any specific place and time. Nonetheless, the goverment is enforcing these rules. Some cities even hired additional police to enforce these rules. So a lot of people were fined.

            Some are challenging the rules in courts. A judge ruling against the goverment is now prosecuted for “intentionally ruling against the law”. The police searched his house and office. Now a search might not sound too bad, but it means that his house was trashed by the police. It will take days to clean up his house.

            So the German government is intimidating judges and teaching them to rule as the government wants them to rule. Another step closer to finding a Stalin

            • alf says:

              There have been a few protests by the usual minority of good folks. But we know the effect of such protests.

              Judiciary, very similar situation happened: a judge ruled that curfew was illegal, that very same day the higher court ruled that curfew was definitely legal. So much for trias politica.

              The elections have been a major dissapointment for me. I expected people to vote against covid measures. They did not. The alt-right greatly underperformed. Hard left parties also underperformed; people voted soft left and cuck right.

              I’ve heard some people argue that the Dutch election were stolen like the American ones, but I don’t believe it. None of the same suspicious patterns.

              Even still, all the covid regulations are slowly ending over here. I believe the reason is not because they believe covid is over (if it were up to them, covid would go on forever), but that people are no longer complying with the rules. Everyone wants to visit friends and family and whatnot, and not doing that indefinitely is too much trouble. So really, humans taking the path of the least resistance is what seems to be ending the covid scam. Masks will still give holiness points for an indefinite amount of time, but I guess it’ll just slowly go out of fashion, like transgenderism.

              • Karl says:

                I remember the appeal courts ruling that curfew was legal, but that was in proceedings of an interim injunction. Interim injunctions are quick. Nothing unsual in an apeal court overruling a lower court in a signle day in proceedings of interim injunction.

                Goverments need an army of judges. Some will believe that they are independent and rule occasionaly against the government. That’s usually not a problem for the government. The government simple makes sure that such judges are not promoted and ensures that all appeal courts toe the line. An appeal courts overruling a lower court is bussiness as usual.

                The case in Gemany was different. A court of first instance decided against the government and the government decided to prosecute the judge for perversion of justice. The police serached his home and just wrecked the place.

                Search warrants are used to secure evidence. There is no possible evidence that conceivably could be found in the judge’s home as perversion of justice simply means that he knowingy passed a wrong decision.

                The accusation of perversion of justice was simple done to intimidate the judges. Now every lawyer in Germany is aware of that.

                In the Netherlands, lawyers can still pretend that the judiciary is independent.

She genuinely wants people to like her, which in a sense is a weakness, but also a strength, because people get to use her for their own ends, which has allowed her to stay chancellor for so long. Hillary could never understand that.

                  I don’t see desire to inflict suffering in Merkel. I see desire for death, the anti life force of a vampire. She does not want everyone to live in suffering. She wants us all gone, while Kamala Harris wants to trample on our faces and break us to bits. Merkel hates life, and hates us living.

                  Fantasizing about purging the left is not helpful but it is helpful identifying who are enemies are. Our enemies are the evil and insane elite who are selected for their adherence to an insane and evil state religion. They may all have different degrees of evilness and and insaneness but we know what side they are on and it isn’t yours. It’s class warefare.

                • jim says:

                  At some point we will have to purge the left – though the situation will, I fear, be that a Stalin has already done most of the really unpleasant necessary work.

                  If we are brave and lucky, we might take power early enough that really unpleasant means will be required. But no need to plan for that optimistic case unless it looks like arriving. If a Pinochet finds himself in power, we show up and tell him he needs memetic sovereignty, what Putin calls spiritual security, and we can provide.

                  Pinochet was a moderate wobbly leftist who was disturbed by the radical leftists, and had to be dragged by the junior officers to the still smoking presidential palace, still decorated with fresh brains and blood.

                  The libertarians then showed up, and sold him memetic sovereignty of a sort, but their doctrine eventually failed to resist Cathedral memetic forces, as it failed in America. Libertarianism, infamously, lacks doctrine on family, women, and sex, assuming a population of isolated sexless sovereign individuals, all equally capable of exercising liberty, and all independently solvent, which makes it weak against Cathedral memes, which weakness leads to the Cathedral correctly viewing it as readily assimilable and in no real conflict. There are no households, no children, and thus no single mothers in libertarianism.

                  The correct economic doctrine is libertarianism assuming a population of independent households, solvent, and capable of exercising liberty, and if a man is not individually solvent and capable of exercising liberty, he should be part of such a household, and if he is not, he is a problem that needs to be fixed, contained or eliminated.

                  Wrong flag. Also, fake “country.” Any Saxo-Teutonic nation has to include Osterreich an have an alliance with the Anglo-Saxons.

                  I’m sympathetic to Com’s solution to the leftist problem if for no other reason than the shredding of the old books from the libraries. Destroying knowledge is an evil that should result in a lot of pain and suffering before death’s release.

                  But it’s cringe to talk about it when we’re so far out of power and have no prospects to be in power.

          We are likely still several years away from Caesar, but if this letter is indicative of what actual flag officers are saying, as you imply, than it is indicative that Caesar exists.

          We know from the transcripts that the order for the massive troop deployment came directly from JCOS Milley. My guess when the time comes to fight, the military will split as it did during Caesar’s Civl war.

          • Ace says:

            If military men’s extended families are unable to make ends meet, there isn’t going to be a lot of them trying to save the people who stole the election. The solution to this problem is huge pay offs to the military itself, as Venezuela does. I’m sure the deep state will attempt the same.

              That’s what the government will do if it wants to survive. Void the national debt, print just enough money to pay the soldiers, and tell everyone else to get a fucking job.

              Except if wokeness and diversity are preventing them from being promoted at best and purging them from the ranks at worst. The way things are trending eventually a purged officer is not going to want to be purged, as Caesar did not want to be purged. There will be plenty of woke non-purged officers that will fight for the reasons you specify, however.

      Pshaw. How many “warnings” did Trump get from various military men? They don’t have the balls to do anything.

          • The Cominator says:

            Civilian DoD bureaucrats (and some not even DoD some were “think tankers” and glowjoggers) and political appointees who served as secretaries to the services vs people who were actual flag officers in the army, navy, air force and the marine corps. The letter to Trump had a few former flag officers but they were mostly bureaucrats.

            This letter came strictly from former members of the officer corps who had reached flag rank (generals and admirals). In the event of a coup the officers are way more relevant than the bureaucrats. Now these guys have been pozzed for a long time but they aren’t full woke fanatics… and they don’t like what they see and are making an implied threat.

            Vox Day is poo pooing it for not being as explicit as the French letter but its still a big step.

      A small step in the right direction.

      What little remains of the Republic and democracy can only function the way Caesar and the NSDAP made it function.

      Anyone who is genuinely active in mainstream politics is starting to realize this, and the remainder who piously proclaim they do not realize it are rhinos.

      In the latter days of the Roman Republic, whoever had physical control of the electoral process won the election. When this became obvious and notorious, contests for physical control of the electoral process turned physical.

      For a while it was easier to get away with contesting physical control of the voting when it was obvious that you would win a fair vote, which Caesar would have done, had a fair vote been allowed to take place.

      • Pooch says:

        In the latter days of the Roman Republic, not only was a willingness to resort to political violence necessary to win elections, it became increasingly necessary to carry out the functions of the Republic such as passing legislation. I would not be surprised if we are headed down that path, even if the GOP manages to win elections again.

  45. Basil says:

    And if a girl’s father cannot give his daughter to her husband while her value is rapidly flying down, does this mean that there should be a system that solves this issue, similar to the Australian one? On the one hand, in countries where the practice of arranged marriage still exists, quite often fathers postpone the marriage of their daughter too much by throwing away her appearance and eggs. With the transition to the privatization of wives, this will happen even more often. In history, you can also see similar examples. On the other hand, this is a rather clumsy regulation. Is there enough public condemnation (spinster = shame) and market incentives (old age = low cost)?

      If someone hangs onto his daughter too long, she is going to have sex. Reading between the lines of old books, daughters who were kept “in” too long tended to go a
