Culture Frames CapacityThe great thing about the Enlightenment was the upliftingecognition of Natural Law. We can either be in harmony

with Natural Law, or we can break against it. Verymportant to our culture and our welfare is the Law of

Conservation. Because resources are limited, they are

ontested, and because they are contested, the mostpowerful users of resources may actually use them. Bynatural standards progress is mandatory. By naturaltandards economy is mandatory. This is our enlightenedramework from the simple recognition of the Law of

Conservation:

1) Economy is the social and economizedutilization of resources for material means.

2) Politics is the maintenance of jurisdiction bysuperior violence whether latent or kinetic.

3) Culture is the aggregable value of personalvalues across a society.

4) The Law of Conservation requires progress ofculture.

Economy, politics, and culture. The three arenextricably linked. They are the relative riches ormpoverishments, depending on your perspective, earnedby the teamwork of civilization. Thus, the capacity ofulture delimits the possibilities of economy and politics.

Because resources are limited, culture frames capacity.Another important product and producer of civilization

s religion. Religion may define a cultural sophisticationhat is high or low relative to a given society. Thus,eligion may be uplifting or debasing depending onontext. The Law of Conservation requires a progress ofeligion if religion there is. Appreciation of theamifications I must leave to your consideration for my

own safety. I only note that Christianity wasdemocratized in the 16th century and abolitionized in the9th.

Greetings from the Writer-in-ChiefThis is the fourth all-time issue of The CerebrFreedom. This issue is inspired by a Web video I macalled Crapportunity Theatre: Culture FramCapacity. Beside a monologue on the first princip

of being civilized, the video presents a cyclic analyof British-American history. The cyclic view history's leading civilizations is sound. In imperChina, new dynasties brought vitality, but over timprivilege found such merits inexpedient. Romans ucycles roughly the length of a human lifetime callsaecula to measure history. British-American saecuare well documented in The Fourth Turningby Strauand Howe. Why should Western history cycle with tperiodicity of a long human life? Because most peoappreciate history as the treasure-trove of one's ow personal experiences. In this second great West

civilization of ours, the ruling people repeatedly locharacter as the last crisis fades from living memoIgnorance courts the next crisis and the next lesson.

Societies don't always survive the reset. The lifetimof a civilization is the concern of the so-called Tytcycle, a model reliant upon intuition as far as I knoThe flow of Western history has been: Greco-RomWesternized civilization, the Middle Ages hindsight), British-American Westernized civilization

Success of the imperial Roman Republic rested upone language, one culture, and religious freedo

Interestingly, flavors of paganism provided the Rommasses with a sound cultural matrix, not unlChristian denominations have gently bound AmericaYet likewise obtained the objectivist pursuits intellectuals. Before us I fear looms the return serfdom, albeit Orwellian. The rude tastes of les peoples is again vogue. Citizens untrue to the fprinciples of natural law are your greatest threat.

Capacity varies with culture, and so all cultures are notquivalently able or good. Rejection of cultural

discrimination is absurd because such discrimination ismperative to our freedom. Why? Because our respectivetandards of living rest not only upon our individualesults but also the team results of our society. Sincereedom is endowment of jurisdiction, freedom requires

politics, which requires economy and culture, which mustdvance or perish. However, freedom is an individualndowment requiring a restrictive kind of viableivilization according to the Laws of Nature and the very

definition of freedom.It is important to distinguish between man's viable

reedom of today and of prehistory. Civilized freedom isreedom through responsibility. It is self-government.

Feral freedom is freedom from responsibility. Withbillions of people on the earth, feral freedom is notpossible without extreme depopulation, not to mention ahuge decline in living standards. In practice the pursuit ofreedom through irresponsibility has little chance of

degenerating completely to feral freedom. It will usher indifferent opposite, the civilized opposite: slavery.In the civilized world the qualitative battle is between

elf-government and slavery. Both are truly civilized.Both use the structure of civilization to elevate people.Slavery lifts people up enough to hold them down. Self-government requires self-disciple to respect the confines

within the uplifting structure of civilization. Indiviresponsibility has been most perfected in Western socibut with a glaring lack of individual accountability. InWest the debt of individual irresponsibility has baccrued and liquidated in the course of cycles casaecula. The reset of cultural values has beenenormous benefit, but the American boys who stor

Normandy did not politically support Wilson's FourPoints or make speculative loans to Germany duringRoaring Twenties.

The closer to individual accountability society gets,sooner the debts of individual irresponsibility are paidgreater the culture and the people will be. Cultidealism for one people can be cultural greatnessanother.
