Pervasive Ecology, Paradigmatic Conservatism and The DNA Nations.
There will be few rules which everybody understands – border and species population management – emergent qualities of co-evolution take care of much of the rest, almost intuitively: thus, no need for a dictatorship, king of exception, or conversely, no need to expound upon the clumsy and corruptible mechanism of voting, let alone full franchise among those unequipped for good judgment.
This platform is concerned foremost, as as ever with borders and boundaries.
There are obvious means of national control: Unionization of our ethonnationals, Citizenship, Passports, Marriage Licenses, Birth Certificates, Border control and Benefits of Citizenship/ conversely, non-inclusion of those who should not be members to begin with and punishment most markedly by loss of citizenship and expulsion for those violating that human ecology once under our control. Practicality and consequences through ordinary interaction being the essence of morality, then come patterns taken for granted. There is no transcending moral concerns – there will always be prohibitions, obligations and legitimacies.
We are of patterns which are part of deeply co-evolved ecological systems – hence, while the modernist, with their license to liberalize, might proceed obliviously unaware and if they are among the lucky to not be wrecked in the early rounds of systemic deterioration, and gain in hubris, bolstered in the epoch to self righteous liberation from social responsibility to proclaim virtue enough by themselves to mock those suffering in resistance as the enemies of their presumed noble progress…
and in regard to those wrecked and falling through the cracks of the system’s less and less infrequent intermittent failings, those precariously marginalized by the failure to comprehend the system, getting swept away in the tide of its systemic runaway, while the puerile giddiness of purported universal maturity is met with the sobering discipline of stasis correction another day, before deliberate, mature, preemptive correction could be enacted, having been shunned aside blithely under the rubric of progress and liberation from group interrelatedness and responsibility…Bateson came to his last meeting an angry man. He warned the puerile. It isn’t funny.
Bateson warned that the road to hell could be paved with bad intentions as well (see my post on the charmed loop of didactic incitement) with catastrophic violence being incited through ethnocentrism gone rogue to ethno supremacism, in singular concerned for one nation, takes the natural fallacy or a god beyond nature in their image in a zero sum game which must be won at the expenses of others; the other road to catastrophic violence, of narcissistic obliviousness to human interests, niche evolution and diversity.
But whether disciplined by the overseers of homeostasis, or by brute stasis, a paradigmatic shift from Modernity and liberalism is augured.
And of the pandemic, you can easily picture Bateson not relishing the presaging but saying anyway, “I told you so.”
This international affliction that we are experiencing and the national responses of border control and social distancing confirm the importance and the possibility of maintaining national borders and interpersonal bounds.
It shows the need for coordinated nationalism, as opposed to the integrating and mixing forces of globalism, with the impervious idea that change leads to “progress”, to some perfect foundation, caused like a force of nature beyond our agency (how optimistic? I think I’d prefer agency) while we must indeed be concerned that ethnonationalism is secured against these globalizing, universalizing forces such as the Abrahamic religions, its bastard children, Descrartes, Locke, Marx, the Neoliberals, Friedrich Hayek, Milton Friedman, Karl Popper, George Stigler and Ludwig von Mises, against deployment of neo liberal compradors to quash nascent ethnonationalism
Rejecting the invisible hand through social accountability marshaled by unionization of our people against corrupt elites will facilitate the securing of our nations, our borders and bounds. When the few rules are broadly understood and borders and bounds secure, there will be no need for accounts requested among our co-evolutionaries to go wild and rogue, Stasi style.
To whom it may concern, we can take the essence directly into our hands by unionization, the coherence, accountability, agency, and warrant it facilitates to coordinate human and pervasive ecology by means of the DNA Nations. This is a parallel measure which does not call for the renouncing of your current citizenship and certainly not a call for violence.
That which is above praxis or below praxis (social grouping) by way of Descartes, portends to be beyond correctability, beyond deliberate, social systemic homeostasis, and is therefore subject to stasis – natural corrections, disasters, or out group correction of the hubris of believing that one is above group interests.
And yes, this union includes the interests, the intrinsic being valued of boys and men. We produce these women. They don’t exist without us.
The ecological argument that unionization affords also provides strong warrant for those who’ve long lived and earned the right to live (to practice ethnonational bordering) along side the indigenous, as in the examples of European diaspora in the America’s, Australia and New Zealand. Border Control and population management is necessary to preserve habitat and its carrying capacity for both indigenous and Europeans in diaspora. This probably entails some help and coordination in population, resource and habitat management for other places as well, so that they are not compelled to attempt migration over borders.
….We have now reached a moment at which we can begin to know something of the process of this phony and crooked disease in the pathway we are following. At present, I don’t think there are very many of us. A few thousand maybe. But this is a very extraordinary epoch in which this knowledge is now becoming a part of the thinking of quite a lot of people. Thank god.
– Gregory Bateson, “Paradigmatic Conservatism.”
I propose The Charmed Loop of Didactic Incitement as a useful elaboration on Bateson’s Double Bind Theory.
The Double Bind was first proposed by Bateson in “Toward a Theory of Schizophrenia.”
On a broad level, the article is pivotal in taking psychology out of the head and into interaction.
Specifically, the double bind entails:
1. A preliminary paradoxic injunction such as
“I am a liar”
“Disobey me”
“Be spontaneous!”
These are inherently contradictory statements..
“Be a man!” could be another probably as it implies that you should be in power, when you are being commanded as a weakling.
2. A prohibition of metacommunication – talk about talk to clarify the confusion. Particularly on a relational level to sort out the confusion, particularly to help the “victim’ to sort out the confusion and their relational status with the “victimizer.”
3. A tertiary re-framing which prevents escape from the circumstance – for example, a child as dependent upon their parents cannot easily escape the field, and is therefore, confronted with an intolerable choice between protecting their capacity for sensible judgement or the relationship – as mammals, relationships are profoundly important. And they begin to manifest communological pathologies (in a futile attempt to protect the necessary resource of their faculties, as one cannot not communicate).
Notes:
Bateson incorporates much from Aristotle in his philosophy; and that is outstanding, as much of the problems that we are having in modernity would have been averted with adherence to Aristotlean philosophy: centralizing our social world view/politics, i.e., in praxis, recognizing our biological and mammalian nature requiring optimal need fulfillment (not maximal), a nature which cares for relationships, our relative concerns not objective detachment like an egg laying lizard; and on the other hand, our objective, systemic, ecological interrelation in these balances and niche evolutions. Our human capacity for agency and reflexive effects.. these wise considerations are traceable to Aristotle. This is not an affectation to British philosophy, it is British philosophy at its best, incorporating ideas that he finds empirically true.
Ok, it’s time for a statement. The pandemic brings into high relief the both the importance and the possibility of border and boundary control.This strikes a major blow to one of the major claims of liberalism and neo liberalism suggesting that human and pervasive ecology cannot possibly be managed by means of nationalism. Which I suspect all honest people believe. ..whether it can be done without a Stasi-like police state is the concern and theoretical obstacle. But this does not really strike me as a double bind…rather, there seems to be many ways out, some I’ve indicated. You’ve got to love the way accountability, correctability and social systemic maintenance go hand in hand.
Correctability, centering moral order in the relative interests of our people. Morals and moral orders come not from god but from a practical negotiation between people in interaction and consequences.
And as we request accounts from our people to their social capital, they are drawn back from the runaway of ideals or natural fallacy into the correctability of our social system our union and the freedom and autonomy that it affords.
And that is, after all, what we are after, our autonomous systemic governance, human and pervasive ecology and its coordination as opposed to the runaway disaster of liberalism, neo liberalims, the internationalism of Marxism and Cultural Marxism.
It is important to note that correctability does not have to mean wholesale franchise to the whole group no matter how ignorant or ill disposed toward our group interests, not even the clumsy apparatus of voting, but it does imply feedback from the whole group; and with various especially worthy inputs to correct against systemic breach whether high, rank and file or those on the margins, even those struggling. It is important to note that with border control taken for granted, and the trust of a homogeneous people, accounts requested can be kept to a minimum, to answer those who fear a Stasi-like snoop and surveillance state.
The optimizing of our praxis, our social systemic homeostasis through the normative practice of correctability will distinguish us from right wing perfidy such as Nazism and other supremacist, right wing perfidy.
We are rather flexbile about the way individuals conduct themselves and the way particular states conduct themselves provided they manage their borders and bounds.
The DNA Nations can sort our our group concerns and it can also sort out our personal concerns. I’d like to be talking about that with you in days to come.
One part that I haven’t been able to get going despite my social constructionist perspective, is that knowledge construction is supposed to be more actively participatory, while people seem to be inclined to leave me in the lurch, wanting me to occupy the position of a self proclaimed authority transmitting information to a passive audience whilst I, in return, am subject to ad hominum, if any semblance of feedback – for reasons that I’ve belabored, not adoring Hitler, Jesus, YKW and scientism … lack of a 200 I.Q. and STEM proclivities doesn’t seem to ingratiate me with the boys either, but…that’s what I’m saying ..if you’re so damn smart, show me where to fix things, huh?
I’m not telling the English, the British to do anything. I am endorsing their ethnonationalism, focusing on the issue of borders and boundary management which will be a matter of some sort of unionization, whether you want to acknowledge that or not….the matter for ethnonationlists being a unionization of natives, of course. Paradigmatic Conservatism calls for strong ethnonational borders; the ways which people conduct themselves within are more flexible and up to them.
You are based in your unionized, accountable, coherent, correctable, stabilized social group systemic as opposed to the inherently unstable right wing reactionary positions that our enemies try to steer us into as white right wingers, rigidly seeking an answer in pure warrant absurdly beyond group accountability.
Absent this unionization, our females will be pandered to from all sides, even in their puerile ignorance, bringing out the worst aspects of the female, their propensity for inciting genetic competition and hypergamy, often rewarding men who are decidedly undeserving, unconscientious.
There should be no objections to the DNA Nations concept. There is no ethical objections to the quest to maintain our kinds.
While securing territory is crucial, it is not the insurmountable per-requisite if we coordinate through the unionization of dna nations, which is not contingent upon territory.. though habitat is of course crucial, and Europe especially, ethically ours.
We can do this for everybody, and if we care to preserves animal species and habitats, and we certainly should, we certainly need to do this for humans as well.
The structure of the ethnonational system and its homeostasis decides, not the particular person, let alone dictator or king. While there will be people more qualified to make decisions, the positions should be understood as mutable, while a few matters, such borders, quantities and kinds of the people, an option for institutionalized monogamy, should be fixed.
Horrible as the Pandemic is, it is showing both the importance and the possibility of border and boundary control, striking a major blow to one of the major claims of liberalism and neo liberalism that its impossible, that ethnonationalism cannot be done. It can be done.
Nor do not find at all convincing objections to the concept of unionization as somehow not consonant with nationalism, or merely post hoc and top down to the emergent qualities of ethnonationalism – it is a back and forth process flow from observation and working hypothesis – as our people will have to be held to account at any rate. Neither is it an imposition on English or an affectation to any ethnonationalism. On the contrary it is about ethnonationalist borders and bounds, including in the case of The English
The world crisis can contribute to a great counteraction of liberalism and people will be forced to reconsider the importance of borders and bounds and leaders will be held to account as well….in timely fashion, developing structures beforehand rather than reacting when disaster has impacted.
A paradigmatic shift is instigated from internationalist globalism to nationalism, and specifically, ethnonationalism – paradigmatic conservatism – which structures accountability to human ecologies, species, pervasive ecology and social systemic homeostasis, autonomous correctivity afforded at the power level that autonomous nations in coordinated interest most practically sustain.
