Great format, would love to see more like this. Better mics and audio quality next time though, please. Its very noisy and tinny which makes it hard to listen to.

I'm glad to hear that you have retired the faux U.S founder voice.

31:00

Sedition or conquest is unlikely in current state of technology - eunuchs and criminals can defend themselves effectively - secret police are overpaid and military does not need numbers or bravery. Subversion might be contra-productive, as it is criminal. We can either hope veterans of the collapse who will restore order will find your books - better make it like blueprint or coloring book :] Or we can wait or engage in inventing mighty but individually operated power source allowing for effective sedition (power shield, and AI spy network), conquest (energy weapon) or planetary escape (Musk wants direct democracy for Mars, so better get there first or collect their bones).

When are we doing a twitter space bro, I'd love to attend these meetings but im a truck driver and I'm kind of everywhere

12:00 "only a dozen holes" Here I stopped watching.

Thank you Curt, I'm looking forward to part two.

He has a spectacular way of getting in the way of himself.

Excellent presentation, sir, and compliments to the editing team, they knocked it out of the park with this one.

What a beautiful and captivating vow that is! Also, good to have the entire, or at least publicly available, people of the institute in one slide. Albeit, I didn't find Francis nor Nathan.

Small room. Half the room is the speakers.

Always a delight listening to Curt I don't think the beep sounds are necessary

Brilliant analysis. An interesting case study would be the way that ridicule and moral hazard were the tools used by the Church Fathers (Tertullian, St. Augustine, Clement of Alexandria among many others) to undermine and destroy Roman paganism.

Just finished this, and very much looking forward to the next parts, however, I must implore you (once again) to use plainer language and give real-world relatable examples of each concept as you go. You're like Schmachtenberger, where the material itself is already dense and difficult, which gets compounded by all the references being made up of short-hand jargon. It's all valid but only for the already-initiated. The combo is fatal to 9 out of 10 people who might listen to this and be otherwise able to comprehend what you're conveying, but WON'T due to HOW you're conveying it. Unless these are simply preaching-to-the-choir sessions that you're sharing with outsiders for the heck of it. But in that case, where are your friendlier versions that are meant to reach outsiders? I've been following you for years and I don't see that kind of material. Yes, this 45 minute talk would become a 60 minute talk, if you 'dumb-down' the language and give examples, but the explosion of Jordan Peterson's popularity and lectures showed us that millions of (relative-)normies across the world will happily sit through 2+ hours of dense material if it's important subject matter AND THEY CAN UNDERSTAND IT. In your case you're more like the opposite of that, where it could almost be mistaken for being deliberately off-putting. [I'm bothering to write this all out because I'm a huge supporter and think your work is likely some of THE most important content on the planet, so I'm not here to be a negative d-bag. I'm trying to help, and can't imagine you haven't already heard this from many others!]

This is impossible to listen to between his accent and his monotone delivery.

As much as it would fix all our problems....enacting this system of cooperation would result in 80% of all women going to prison for being women who lived for 100 years with absolute freedom, because your removed the scale of sin and just say "all criminality is crinimal" or suttle crime as you say, so now your locking up 14 year old girls for attacking theri peers online or decieving a man for her own ends. Good luck with this, it will be percieved as totalitarian even if its correct. This will end badly for the face of the law and movement, being Curt. You would have to scale punishment on the female level and any attempt to do this will be met with protest and the system will gladly accept those votes from inner city women by arresting all involved with this legal precidence.

@29:30 Obviously your message is the most important feature here, but I would be sure to always be wearing those glasses when you're being filmed. It is a powerful look. Women will climb you.

The editing and production on this video is highly exciting. Strong work.

The 'present condition' is that Elon is throwing aggressive Roman salutes on inauguration day - ha! (Keep up the great work.)

Finally! And waiting for part 2.

This is such a white pill seeing this. It gives me some optimism that there is orgs that care about this issue. Once you see this and understand the threat of it, it is self evident. Thanks for the presentation

Nerds trying to create their own religion as if they’re men of renown. No one wants to follow dorks larping as great men

I relate to the Question 5 guy. I find myself in identical circumstances, down even to the part about feeling (a particularly bothersome) guilt for being here and calling myself an American despite my very presence paradoxically contributing to the demographic and housing crises; I have the added misfortune of knowing at least one of my parents jumped the border in the 80s before getting their citizenship. Though I love this place to the point that even my catholic father gets sick of my rhetoric (I'm rather surprised he hasn't booted me out of the house entirely after Trump won his second term), I have also come to realize as of a good while ago that a single snowflake (like yours truly) is still contributing to the resultant avalanche whether it was my intention or not, as ethnic groups will express the cognitive biases of their mean in most circumstances; as you likely know, this is a truth that the UK and the rest of Europe have come to understand firsthand with their population of uninvited guests, who so happen to bear a particular religion as their core tenant and selective pressure, and the Europeans rightfully understand that civic nationalism and trying to separate the few grains of wheat from the chaff is far from worth the effort, particularly if the few useful grains extracted are still prone to falling back to behavioral and cognitive manifestations of their people's broader civilizational strategy. Though I may wish to someday produce children who are like me in political perspective, there is no guarantee of this (and again, they may wish to fall back to the mean by associating with their in-group, likely their co-ethnics if they're of average hispanic intelligence, ~90 IQ) without some particularly strong parenting (some of which I lacked in my youth. Having autism and being the middle child of a father who was abused by his own dad is some pretty bad RNG, if you ask me) or happenstance (I got lucky that a single APUSH teacher in high school turned me away from socialism and got me libertarianism, in a blue state of all places, but I still thought Trump was a bundle of Sticks guy until Carl Benjamin, who was still a gamergate religious skeptic at the time, had on his show a fellow named Tim Pool, who I gravitated towards for caily information. From there, I've had prescribed to me an increasing dose of pharmaceutical grade redpills, and suffered ever-persistent intrusive thoughts and delusions of grandeur about butchering and consuming my sacred cattle up to the point of me actually carrying out the deed). Perhaps I've misinterpreted the information you've provided over the years, or perhaps I have forgotten particularly important nuggets of argumentation in my many years of casual listening to you while working as a wagie. When John Mark was around, I have to admit that despite me surmising that the Propertarian Institute indeed had much to actually offer in regards to reforms (which I desperately wanted), the crowd that the PI was attempting to court did negatively affect how I saw your organization. Then there was that kerfuffle in Virginia, I fell for it and lost hope, and I swore off the PI. But on the many days I felt rather pessimistic about my home (more pessimistic and skeptical than I normally am already), I would keep coming back to the NLI hoping I could find some solace and fellows to cope, seethe, and mald with (rather daft, I understand, for me to give in to emotions of all things), and over time, the longform content provided on the channel (and Brad's moderating influence, in particular) turned me around on how I viewed the NLI's intentions over time. Perhaps I told you this long ago on another comments section, but I could have served myself better had I known about your longform content rather than the fancy, condensed stuff with the algorithm's blessing that John posted up (All yours truly can say is I'm sorry. I did not fully grasp the PI's position and policy proposals at he time, but I still unfairly judged it). I have to imagine that the Q5 guy might have had similar realizations or conclusions as I, and or a similar enough journey, though I make this assumption to some degree on projection (hence why I told you that story. Forgive me if I've wasted your time otherwise). Just my two cents. Thanks for all you do, Mr. Doolittle. Cool mug, by the way. And if for whatever reason you still have questions, feel free to ask.

The sound quality is very bad, guys you all need to invest into better equipment, if not all the way into a studio for these videos. When so much effort has to be expelled just to hear you all, let alone understanding (especially Martin, Martin you need to enunciate more to compensate for your heavy accent) it’s detractive. Curt, stop swinging in chair also. All this is constructive criticism to make the product better.

Around 30-40 minutes: One thing that could be happening, is people are thinking of “The Natural Law Party” which is some kind of political/religious thing.

You (we) are not philosophers, we would more correctly be termed 1.) Nomophiles 2.)Juris Amatores Or 3.)Jurisphilius (hybrid Latin and Greek)

“When people are stressed everything begins to breakdown” This is the point at which people revert to their priors. It’s why the enemy loads so heavily with narrative and produces stresses at every scale in the class distribution and every scale of the organizational spectrum (individual level to the national and even global levels) in order to push people into their default narratives rather than operational decidability.

nice

I feel like the new intro needs the pause music from golden eye.

You dont have lapel mics? Are you amatures? You expect to make waves with bad audio? Buy some mics and learn to mix audio.

Hey Curt, rando questions. Have you looked into what Roger Penrose has been up to lately? What do you think about his ideas on consciousness? Specifically, about the possibility of microtubules as examples of bits of consciousness in the universe so to speak, or what is responsible for the wave function collapse. Look up Curt Jaimungal and his interviews with Penrose. And I'd like to know what you think about Stephen Wolframs "theory of everything" involving time as an irreducibly computational process. Penrose's conformal cyclic cosmology is pretty interesting as well. I'd like to know what you think of it and the idea of consciousness not being a computable process.

Anyone residing around the Pittsburgh area that would be interested in networking?

A fantastic discussion, especially, starting around the 23:55 or 24:00 markers, highlighting the fundamental differences between yourselves - essentially an altruistic team of intellectuals that wish humanity well, wishing them good fortunes, that hope for "a thousand nations to bloom" . Then, properly contrast your aim, position and efforts against the opposing, highly malicious and subversive counter strategy in the world today, of the likes of Marxists, Wokesters, the sinister, necrotic WEF and foreign oriented, globalist, focused neocon Trotskyite types - whose aim literally is to stagnate neutralize and imprison most of humanity in an ugly world of exploitaion even of erasure by THEM as a twisted, sicko, new ruling class, with weird, destructive "mean girl" style false narratives psychological manipulation and political controls to impede progress, instead corral humans into controllable "pods" ; or "Baskets of Deplorables" ( Hillary Clintons vision of contempt for humanity) to neutralize human goodness, not to facilitate it. Instead use, abuse and exploit the masses, force them into humiliating submission THEN delusionally imposter themselves, somehow, as some superior, forward thinking "good guys", when the opposite is true. A special notice should be that whom they are is obvious to only a select few of us with insight yet a large percentage of ordinary people need directly shown this contrast of visions for the future. We, Western societies, are in a psyop "info war" they started. They hate us with great passion. Their intuitions are different and incompatible. Most of all the consequeces of following their prescriptive solutions is equivalent of cattle being prodded, pushed into loading chutes - destructively different to our own facilitation of good. Its all a clear contrast between sets of futures with one being done by good faith, coaches, the other done in bad faith towards others by those having contempt for us. We may not have been interested in any kind of war, but they imposed this war on us. We have to be able to properly understand whats actually happening to be able to diagnose the problem, to defend and to counter strike just to survive. This contrasting of visions of what the futures can be is one of the most important things we can do as an organization. We offer truth, real hope, and respect based on developing demonstrated competence. Once passed their initial false promises, and illusions, they offer only, cynicism, deceit, fraud, dysfunction, stagnation, misery and failure for the majority. In summary, not everyone has talents to see what we can see. People need taken on a "tour" of different possible fates that await them, to develop awareness that which path they take matters. As realists, we cannot hope to save everybody, as life is messy by its very nature, we cannot save those whom don't want saving, but we can point the way for the responsible majority towards the light of a better future.

Would love to hear a discussion between you and Asha Logos at some point. I hope you're connected/collaborating behind the scenes. He seems to be one of the top minds in this realm.

Moral dogma

Nice format

Can anyone point me to the slides? I need deeper pondering on this. That aside, this's an amazing talk, Michael; it would have been incredible if you contributed another one to this year's convention. I surely would love to hear more from you.

Thank you for this.

lol 🥰

Have you ever done cocaine? 😮

Doesn't Curt look cute, fellows?

There is a hard question between not punching right and tolerating/ignoring very subversive actors like James Lindsey Especially when they are not willing to name the enemy and htheir behavior directly

Technology-wise with the volume of material, it should be doable to have search by using subtitles texts, or maybe even to go into that lane of using LLMs on the textual content.

Note: skip to 10:00

can yall have the older format of putting the questions to the righthand-side of the screen? I found it a bit easier to read and follow along that way. Thanks.

Brandon is such a great combination of being witty, articulate, precise, and parsimonious. Guess we could call him a WASP.

Enjoyable start of the year for me. Also, I remember seeing a collection of images, mostly triangles, by Curt I assume. I'd like to give them a look. I want to see how I understand them now, and if there are animation opportunities.

We can't hear Anything

Really valuable stuff thank you.

I do hope Rudy's okay
