Apologies for the delayed reply. I noted your post before I last posted, but I needed to catch up on some sleep and exercise.

When was the last time a group of Americans pointed their guns at their tyrants?

Year 2014. Clive Bundy standoff. The corrupt Feds lost that battle and had to back down.

We need priests to give us cohesion to use our weapons, which means a state religion.

If you need a State religion then you are the property of the power vacuum of the State and your guns will be confiscated, as has been the case in every former monarchy such as England, France, etc. You will lack the local soft and hard power to do what Clive Bundy’s clan did.

The USA is the last stand for mankind. And you are delusional if you think we are going to hand it all back over to a system of monarchy. Hell no.

Instead we need to look forward to technology such as fully decentralized blockchains to help us organize and cooperate without that power vacuum incentivizing defection on the collective and leftard victimization politics. Which even Jim noted is where the monarchies all ended up. Because of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The only possible way we sustain freedom is via decentralization.

America currently has an unofficial state religion that wants to destroy us and the 1st amendment can’t do a thing to stop it, even if anyone still followed the Constitution.

It’s always going to be the State versus the prosperity of the citizens. Because the power vacuum is captured by the most corrupted:

Some Iron Laws of Political Economics

I know Jim dislikes the author Eric Raymond, so I want to make clear I am not advocating Eric’s Libertard progressiveness (e.g. voting rights for female hypergamy).

We the people must work on disintermediating the State and elevating our cooperation with decentralization technology and a correct teaching about Christianity. [Without Christianity, we only have a power vacuum of minds that can be captured by State priests, e.g. mass media]

Note I advocate decentralization of competing fiefdoms. Within each fiefdom by definition is some degree of top-down order. The distinction from a centralized monarchy is that everyone is free to leave and vote with their feet.

A key challenge is how to get fiefdoms to compete virtuously and not descend into continual war and chaos where nobody has any time to do science and engineering. Although threat of war does incentivize applied science and engineering. For example, whomever masters robotic soldiers and drones will have an advantage.

The time came over a hundred years ago and has been present every day since. Americans now have had better pretense to rebel than the Founders ever did, but have not despite more owning guns than the top five militaries combined (I think). Try to use your property or raise your children, in America, and see what happens.

I believe the problem is a lack of local soft power cohesiveness. I believe we do not put enough effort into local church and education. The sons in our small rural communities should be prepared to die against Feds as was the case for the Clive Bundy clan. Unfortunately his sons became maniacal and tried to occupy some National park in some State other then their lifelong home and land. Sane elders were apparently not in control of the sons. To be honest, I have not studied that in sufficient detail, so my summary may be inaccurate.

That is commendable for you, but we want to create a society that harnesses the betas. We argue that hundred sheep led by a lion beats ten lions fleecing a thousand sheep.

Ditto my prior paragraph. The betas need to be lead within their local fiefdom communities. They should be given a wife and job. I am all for patriarchy within smaller scale fiefdoms. I am not in support of enabling a State monarchy, because as stated it is a winner-take-all power vacuum that must exploit the weakness of humans. Been there, done that. Mankind must progress, not regress.

Being a lifelong software engineer, I of course want to attempt to apply technology to the problems.

A successful society requires cooperation with other men, which means you uphold the laws that allow cooperation. Organizing the betas is one of the points of marriage/patriarchy and the reason it beats societies that let the betas have their women taken by Mister One-in-Thirty. The alpha gets soldiers and taxpayers and in exchange enforces rules that allow every man to get a wife and alpha-backed authority to keep her, his kids, and his stuff.

I have read dozens of Jim’s astute blogs. I understand the issues about PUA theory, female hypergamy, etc..

I hope decentralized blockchains with contracts will ameliorate the power vacuum that disincentivizes decentralized cooperation. I am actively working on this technology.

The Schelling point of disagreement is to agree on the objective ledger because all the other arguments are in conflict with each other. This is an epochal technological shift. It changes everything.

The monarchy plan is antiquated and soon be technologically deprecated and impossible.

That is a point we are making with freehold. A king can’t tyrannize every citizen unless he creates bureaucracies that then tyrannize him as wells as everyone else. We already have the bureaucracies and tyranny.

Every King will be forced into it by the said power vacuum. The problem is structural. This is why I have put the past 6 years of my life into blockchains.

Would you rather live in a society where the king is far away and can’t control your community, or where you have the Constitution, but the eye of Sauron watches everything and every blue-haired cat lady can send you to prison?

False dichotomy. The King will never be far away anymore, because he has all seeing technology such as the Internet and IoT. Everyday in the USA, soccer mom’s cars have hidden cameras that photograph your license plate. The NSA knows everywhere you go throughout the day. Trump does not control the NSA.

Martin Armstrong’s correlation of all data from the history of civilization (he spent ~$100 million on the data inflation-adjusted) had predicted more than a decade in advance that April 22, 2013 would be the peak of the USA. That was the day Snowden made his irrevocable move to do the NSA exposé.

We believe rugged individualism is a myth and America was created by communities of men.

The rural and rugged tilt is the cultural soft power that still helps us fight vehemently for our gun rights. The NRA is the most powerful lobby in WA D.C..

Communities and cooperation, at least among white men, is outlawed and the know-how almost lost.

Not where God is still strong. Visit Utah. In Summer 2003 I drove through a rural community in Utah and I saw so many purely white as a ghost families with their young babies and kids picnicking around a lake.

Elsewhere we lost our soft power because we stopped controlling education and church at the local community level. We allowed television and Internet for our kids for example. THE HUGE MISTAKE WAS WE ALLOWED DEMOCRACY AT THE COMMUNITY LEVEL.

When America falls to pieces, warriors will need priests to give them legitimacy among themselves and the populace so they can defend their communities and perhaps restore the American nation, or as Jim hopes, Empire.

The war is with ourselves. We have done nothing but whine about what we can not do, instead of doing what we should do.

Grab the bull by the horns, buy some land and make babies. Educate them correctly. Network with other men who do the same.

If we rely on large scale priests, we will just be back in the same ole crap all over again.

Anyway, I probably have pissed Jim off now, so I probably better go back to lurking.

It’s comforting to know that the only people who still believe in Enlightenment nonsense

If you can’t distinguish what I’m writing from the State priesthood Enlightenment nonsense, then you’re hopelessly stuck in the pattern of repeating your inexorable enslavement by the power vacuum of collective action.

You go ahead deluding yourself that an official King would be anything other than the form of totalitarianism we have now.

There are no more frontier lands where one can build civilizations away from the all seeing eye. We are forced to adopt a strategy which deals with the change in technological capabilities of the nation-state scale collective.

The nation-state scale collective will always a pit of defection, undermining, and overthrow. It will always be a figure head illusion of the powers-that-be who control the priesthood from behind the curtain. These are your Zionist/bankster masters who are unseen. They will manipulate you and your naive delusions.

The Bible is very clear as to where all the wealth ends up at the end times on the 7 hills around Jerusalem.

The only power we-the-people have is a true adherence to God. And the inalienable right to be armed for self-defense (and possibly offense against those who continue to attack us over and over again).

Jim I agree with everything you wrote in comment 2019-10-17 at 22:30. Amen.

I don’t think blockchains will remove the necessity for Kings, because we still need to have organized violence, and well known and thoroughly stationary bandits, the more stationary the better, is the least bad solution found so far.

Why can’t fiefdoms coordinate for the necessary violence based on protecting on a few sacred items, e.g. gun rights, private property, religion, education, and procreation? If any entity attacks any fiefdom, then all fiefdoms view it as an existential threat and unify their militias. No standing armies. Every adult male citizen is in the militia. Also w.r.t. to territory, land is becoming relatively worth-less and this will accelerate with the 2nd computer revolution underway. We can employ for example anonymous cryptocurrency to obscure much of our economy from the coming world government. Nation-states are being deprecated. I know you do not believe this, but watch Facebook Libra and Bitcoin over the next 8 years.

The problem I see with enabling a centralized coordinator of it all (i.e. a King) is that becomes a power vacuum to be undermined by our enemies the Satanic priests.

I too am working on the blockchain. The problem I see with existing blockchains is that they represent a consensus of the miners on who owns what, rather than a consensus of the major owners on who owns what. When push comes to shove, this a point of vulnerability. Plus the necessarily high cost of mining is necessarily inflationary.

Sorry to be so blunt, but to minimize verbiage you’re not even close because it appears you do not understand why proof-of-stake can never be decentralized. I have solved all the technological, economic, and game theoretic issues already. In implementation mode.

Mild inflation is desirable, especially when the miners are us. Bitcoin’s mining is very inefficient because it relies too much on electricity. The correct design essentially burns (the amortization of) commodity hardware, not electricity. Note though that for example I revealed the design flaw in RandomX. The devil is in the details, as is typical for engineering.

The biggest point of vulnerability however, is the necessity for reputations in order to do transactions, which become a point of vulnerability when siloed

I solved this technological problem. Also the reputation part can be solved with zk-starks for absolute anonymity. But the censorship of anonymous transactions part is much more difficult to solve. But I finally discovered the solution. It combines numerous elements including a mining defense and a game theoretic facet.
