I am taking a new direction for this blog

I have a habit of changing my mind a lot. This is because I get swayed by the galloping herd of reactionary opinion but also because new information is constantly coming in and tactics must constantly adapt. Some people see this approach as a deficit and indeed it has cost me viewers, but I see it as a strength. People get swept up in the heard at an early age, lose all objectivity, and then our trapped and heard politics for the rest of their lives. The norm for people is a kind of cognitive rigidity that deepens with age and starts in their youth with running with the herd, wherever that herd was going when they were young. What I am saying is that it is better to keep changing your mind throughout your life than become cognitively inflexible because of values programmed into you during your youth. Everyone runs with the herd for at least part of their life and being able to resist it at all, like I have, is a strength. This resistance is the source of my constant opinion changing.

In the end I always come back to my method of analysis — even if the conclusions are scattered about like a cone of fire. It's also really difficult to stick to your guns when all the pressure is pushing you towards one direction, especially when everyone is gaslighting you into thinking you're wrong even though your viewpoint is more predictive than theirs. I admit that in the past I have flirted with Nazism but I have never been comfortable with it's genocidal conclusions. Now that my intuition about drone warfare is coming true in real life I can finally solidify my opinion that no centralized hierarchical solution will ever work, because to design any future resistance to globo homo / the Deep State / Cathedral / ZOG / imperialistic capitalism or whatever you want to call it is to design an organization made rapidly obsolete by assassination politics. The third world is already turning to low-cost drones in order to counter US Air superiority. The US is already turning to low-cost drones in order to take down those other low cost drones. Weapons are going to get radically cheap and autonomous and the last time weapons were democratized the American revolution happened. There are two periods in world history when democratic revolutions have occurred: one is the Greco Roman period when the phalanx was the height of warfare. The other was the colonial period when rifles made warfare inexpensive and democratic. In both eras the cost of weaponry came down to the point that ordinary people could wage war against the state. Ukraine's new interceptor drone is 3D printed for gods sakes. This pre-configures a world where no "Füh·rer" approach will ever work. This is going to get combined with social media that turns humans into borg-like swarms of warring ideological herds. Everything points towards the swarm: the swarm of opinion, the swarm of drones. Dictatorships are going to — once more — die and that's going to be the landscape of politics for the next few hundred years. Therefore the direction of this blog will be towards a kind of "constitutional anarchism". Because only a constitution can create order out of this problem.

Constitutional anarchism will be a theory that combines massive levels of decentralization with constitutional style governance. Basically, imagine a book. Imagine that this book contains the entire constitution of a society. If your leaders violate your rights you have the right to kill them. You then get called before a trial conducted by your fellow citizens who decide whether to give you safe harbor from retaliation. All of the rights in the Constitution can be enforced by any citizen and the government ceases to have a monopoly on violence. In place of this monopoly is a book of norms and procedures that governs how every situation is dealt with. This gives order and structure to what would otherwise be anarchist chaos. It's like the current constitutional government but radically more flattened. It also has room for constitutional provisions that protect races from destruction and subversion. Indeed, in a constitutional anarchist system the norms will go wherever popular will wants them to go.

This is the approach I'm going to take going forward. This is because the weapons make any other approach impractical. If Moldbug were to ever get his way it is likely that just as the CEO dictator is coming true just in time for the assassination of all CEOs. Yarvin once remarked that the DAO was not developed enough to be realistic. Technology moves faster than you think, bro. I put more stock in the arms race to low cost weapons than I do in any right wing "restoration." Cheap technology is guaranteed. Technology always comes down in price. Your NAZI or Civic Nationalist revolution has no guarantee of actually happening and is fighting an uphill battle against vast financial forces allied and conspiring to destroy it. Even if you succeed you will then be in a permanent war against Greater Israel and the Zionist project and they will treat you the same way they have treated the Arab world. And while all of this is happening the cost of drones is rapidly getting cheaper, it's getting cheaper to assassinate people, artificial intelligence will get so good and so compact that you can put face recognition in a drone. There will be bots flying around literally hunting people while you futz around with dictatorship and each of your fearless leaders will get assassinated one after the other. The only thing that overthrows capitalism (or whatever you want to call it) is its own productive technological forces, it's own new technologies, and the new technology is here.

In the future my recommendations will probably continue to be all over the place — I have a habit of designing many systems for different audiences — but the underlying logic of "drone anarchism is inevitable" will be the background presumption going forward. Rule-based decentralized systems are the only thing that can survive the future. This does not inevitably mean the liberal world order. Any value system can be encoded in a decentralized system as long as there is a sufficiently large enough herd of humans to support it. Not only is it possible for there to be competing DAOs with radically different ideologies but it is probably inevitable.
