Say, in LW speak, people who never got passed ‘traditional rationality’ in the sense of not getting passed naive falsificationism and the standard science tropes of occams razor, actually represent the majority of this community. However, there are much more. We need to start pushing every one to the front. NRx is not supposed to be a ghetto. However there are many pitfalls on the path towards the front end of knowledge.

Such as holding strong against Cantor’s/Bourbaki’s seduction etc etc.

There needs to be a compilation of a ‘hard list’ that a few of us will try to diligently complete to attempt to become what many of us profess, say…. aristocracy. With physical fitness goals, so we all have or heads on straight and are actually thinking correctly..

It should also said that if this movement of sorts is going to attempt any chance of success, every one is going to need to hold off on the vehemence. As historically conscious as some people are. Many people have not been exposed to any sort of risk and probably could not handle the pressure they’re asking for.

They don’t know they’re getting themselves into. I love what is possible here, but it seems that many people here are more than willing to post their information publicly, when they have no real idea how to….. “operate”. Right now it’s just a bunch of antsy kids who need to develop stronger security culture/OPSEC and pick up the books. There is no doubt in my mind say, that Land/Moldbug have already been evaluated by some intelligence agency keeping tabs on potential threats. There should be a proper warning to all the kids what they could get themselves into. However the only people who actually understand how information is gathered and then produced into actionable work for LEO’s are people who’ve had their foot into some type of criminal work.

This is one of the reasons I’m trying to compile the “hard list” + physical requirements, so I can get myself into a proper position to evaluate things. This sort of thing worries me because most of the people here have not been in handcuffs or even a tense altercation never mind if they start to see the results they get when people discover the worst of their vitriol/violence posturing. Too much growth is cancer, especially if it starts to attract too much adversarial attention.

Right now a proper understanding of the ‘front’ of risk management (Embrecht/Taleb/Ayache/Wilmott + Operations from Grugq/insert more) + The complete end game of cognitive science/heuristics and bias, a legitimate front and back understanding of convexity and antifragility and a technical marketable skills so we can get every one going. Even if we don’t get anywhere, at least we look good and are well read.

This is also why I appreciate curt doolittle at propertarianism, he seems to have his head on straight in all of this.

What we need now is something like meta-game: someone who can articulate the Machiavellian/Moldbugian logic in a practical, instructive way. How can these ideas—which are largely theoretical, descriptive, of perhaps theoretically practical on a large scale—be mobalized on a smaller scale? How can each individual navigate the cathedral? What are some basic principles to be learned and reiterated? What are some hacks?

Then should we just use ithkuil for some things? E.g. translate some nrx into it as a thought exercise, and then use it to come up with novel english nrx.

Yes, certainly. Also the religious basis for genetics. HBDchick has been really interesting on the subject. Then there’s Cochran on the Amish, who seem to be developing their own distinct genetics, and I suspect something similar, though more attenuated, is happening and has happened with the core Mormon population.
