Podcast appearances and mentions of jose ortega

Cómo nos relacionamos con lo que nos sucede, especialmente si son momentos duros y de gran desafío, afecta profundamente a lo que ese acontecimiento supone en nuestra vida. Uno de los elementos mas importantes para superar las adversidades es entender que “aunque yo no lo comprenda hay un sentido en todo lo que me sucede”. Como decía el gran filósofo español Jose Ortega y Gasset: “yo soy yo y mis circunstancias” Podemos elegir si caer en la desesperanza o abrirnos al misterio. Ojalá este podcast te haya gustado y pueda convertirse en una inspiración a la hora de despertar y florecer tu verdadero potencial.

(Founders #264)(22:00) Faster progress would be made in all fields if conceit did not cause us to forget or disdain the work done by others before us. There is a tendency to believe that nothing worthy of note has been done in the past, and this has an unfortunate bearing on our judgment; thus the present trend toward mediocrity.(23:45) I was hypnotized, drawn more and more to the mechanics of motors. These exciting problems had me completely under their sway, and so began for me the hard uphill task, the thankless labor of constructing and destroying and beginning again, without a break or rest,  and for days, months, years even, until success finally rewarded all my efforts.(27:00) Bugatti made no attempt to compete with the low price models already on the market.

I got hacked. Well, my credit card did. I was balancing my books when I noticed two charges from GoDaddy India on a credit card with a $25,000 limit. I use GoDaddy for domain names, but not in India so that was a BIG RED FLAG! Immediately, I called the credit card company and they closed that card and are sending me a new card with a new account number. The problem is that 90% of my monthly bills are paid on that card. So now I have to watch and manage to pay my monthly bills with different cards this month and then update all of them with the new number when I get the new card. Attention is power. There is power in attaining someone's attention. If you really think about it, you can use money and knowledge to get in front of people, but you don't control their attention. They do. Also, money and AI can buy you attention. But even if you buy ads (no matter how targeted) there is still an AI engine deciding for you who sees what you're paying for and when. Knowledge is power. You can look intelligent with Artificial Intelligence. If you really think about it, you control your intelligence through learning, but you don't control Artificial Intelligence. It's managed in the form of a computer, an app, or a browser. Money is power. Buying ads or sponsoring posts can boost or enhance your ability to get your content in front of people who may not already buy from you. Ultimately, it's up to them to pay attention or not. If Money is Power, Knowledge is Power, and Attention is Power, how can you use all three to optimize your knowledge to gain attention? “Tell me to what you pay attention and I will tell you who you are.” – Jose Ortega y Gasset In this episode, we will discuss how AI and your Quickbooks (or CRM) can help you reach your perfect audience with your creative content!

José Ortega y Gasset no segundo capítulo de “O que é Filosofia” começa se questionando sobre as mudanças constantes do pensar filosófico, político e artístico ao longo dos tempos. Para o filósofo, essa “constante inconstância” tem uma explicação que historiadores, segundo ele, costumam não dar muita importancia: a ideia de geração. Não que os historiadores ignorassem, mas não davam a devida atenção que o filosofo achava necessário. Avaliar a ideia de geração como instrumento de compreensão das dinamicas internas do processo histórico foi ventilada não apenas por Jose Ortega y Gasset (filósofo), mas por Wilhelm Pinder (historiador da arte), Julius Petersen (historiador da literatura) e Karl Mannheim (sociólogo). A ideia de geração para Ortega y Gasset é importante pois, para ele, para que algo importante mude no mundo, é preciso que antes mude o tipo de homem (no sentido amplo e generalizado de “humanidade”) - pois é deste que sai a história. Ortega y Gasset complexifica a questão da geração pois a coloca o contexto da sua existência num necessário conflito, quando analisado no recorte do “hoje”. O “hoje” é algo muito mais complexo do que se imagina e é através dele que, pelo menos parcialmente, explicamos a “constante inconstância” do ser humano. Para Ortega y Gasset, todo “hoje” envolve, a rigor, três tempos distintos, três “hoje” diferentes, devido a coexistência de três gerações vivendo no mesmo espaço: os jovens, os homens maduros e os velhos. São três grandes dimensões vitais que convivem alojadas nesse mesmo “hoje”, enredadas umas com as outras e, ao serem diferentes, necessariamente coexistem em essencial hostilidade. O rapaz, o homem maduro e o ancião expõe manifestamente o dramatismo dinâmico, o conflito e o choque que constitui o fundo da matéria histórica. A luz dessa observação, vê-se o equívoco oculto na aparente clareza de uma data. 1929, 1945, 1968, 1989 parecem um único tempo, mas em cada uma destas datas importantes vivia um rapaz, um homem maduro e um ancião. Isso significa que cada uma destas cifras se triplica em três significados diferentes e, simultâneamente, abarca os três. No tempo cronológico coexistem três tempos vitais distintos e, através desse desequilíbrio, a história se move, muda, flui e roda. Somos todos contemporâneos pois vivemos num mesmo tempo e atmosfera, mas é necessário analisar a contemporâneidade coexistindo com a coetaneidade. O hoje é dificil de se explicar pois é a um só tempo contemporâneo, coexistente e coetâneo. Se todos os contemporâneos fossem tambem coetaneos, a historia ficaria cristalizada e petrificada num gesto defnitivo, sem a possibilidade de qualquer mobilidade. No entanto, a complexidade de se analisar o presente ainda não para por ai, pois dentro de cada grupo geracional há uma porosidade, que faz com que grupos geracionais aprisionados no mesmo tempo presente pratiquem seus escambos, suas alianças estratégicas, suas permutas e também conspirem entre si - o que deixa a avaliação do presente ainda mais caótica. Isso explica, parcialmente, a relatividade entre tendências conservadoras e progressistas intermediando estes três tempos vitais. Nem sempre anciãos serão mais conservadores e nem sempre jovens serão mais progressitas. Aliás, se colocar em absoluto em qualquer um destes campos não é nada mais nada menos do que fugir do grande desafio e da grande responsabilidade de se colocar no presente. Ser apegado ao passado e a memória, como geralmente faz um conservador, é apenas posição confortável de sair do presente e idealizar um tempo que não exsitiu, ignorando que o passado idealizado também já foi um “presente” e um resultado dinâmico de forças em colisão. Ser apegado ao “devir”, ao “futuro” e ao que “poderia ser”, como geralmente faz um progressita, é igualmente um apego preguiçoso, pois o futuro, que só existe no universo da projeção, é a massa de modelar perfeita: um “algo” pode ser tudo aquilo que a ideologia prometer.

Would you like to share your thoughts with Ralph?  Please email your comments to hello@idahospeaks.com or post your comments on @IdahoSpeaks on Twitter.Idaho Speaks is a listener supported production.  Please visit idahospeaks.com/support to learn more.Do you have something so say?  Interested in learning more about publishing on the Idaho Speaks Network?  Our nation was built on ideas and your idea could be the next political advancement for Idaho.  Call Ed at (208) 209-7170 or email hello@idahospeaks.com to start the conversation.Transcript:"You are yourself, plus your circumstances."  The early 20th Century Spanish philosopher, Jose Ortega y Gasset, was correct when he described an individual's identity as being a fusion of internal qualities and external context.Each of us is awash in a sea of circumstances which define who we are, what we do, and how we think about the world.  Our lives are lived within a precise moment in history and culture.Everything extrinsic to us, from our language to our expectations about life, derives from whether we were born in 1962 or in 1992, in New York City or in Rathdrum, Idaho, in the USA or in Zimbabwe.   We are shaped by whether we were raised by a gentle soul or by a martinet, by a Doctor or by a Day Laborer, by a Christian or by a Communist, by a married father and mother or by a single parent.Taken in isolation, we are each vulnerable.  Alone in a treacherous world, we are hard-pressed just to survive.  Very few of us can thrive without others.  In fact, a stark and unremitting solitude will drive many of us mad.Fortunately, the circumstances of everyday life provide many opportunities for isolated individuals to connect meaningfully with others.  The birth family, neighborhoods, churches, schools, military service, jobs, clubs, teams, romantic partners and chosen families that we experience all offer us opportunities for meaningful relationships.  Such connections make life worth living.We can find purpose and satisfaction by associating with others of similar faith, ideals, ethnic heritage & culture, life experiences, vocations, avocations, and nationality.  Or, we can enjoy discussing our differing notions with those of divergent views.With functional linkages to other human beings, our stark solitary existence is energized by the vitality and enthusiasm of others.  With the involvement and help of family, friends, associates, colleagues, and other companions, our efforts reshape our world.In short, we human beings are social animals.  One of our most fundamental needs is companionship.  With it we thrive, and without it we wither.Given our social nature, the inescapable consequences of certain "woke" progressive ideas on human relationships is nothing less than appalling.  In their unremitting eagerness to destroy the imperfections of the past and build an entirely new utopia of justice, these zealots are prepared to wreck our established connections to the wider world.Woke progressives advocate that every human tradition, religion, philosophy, ideology, business, workplace, symphony, opera, song, poem, book, play, movie, video game, comic book, art object, sport, contract, or social custom be reevaluated.  Nothing, not even the unstructured play of preadolescent children, must be allowed to flow naturally.  Every work of human hands and the human mind must be scrutinized to determine how power is distributed.Who has power, and who lacks it?  Which parties have been privileged by traditions and which have been systematically disenfranchised?A stark equality of result, the touchstone of all variant Communisms, is becoming the new universal standard of value and virtue.  Perceived past wrongs must be righted, and all must conform to the strictures of reward and punishment necessary to redistribute power and bring about a new order of righteous equity.This type of unrelenting fanaticism is well-known throughout history.  "The Cause" varies from epoch to epoch, but the totalitarian methods are always consistent: an uncompromising and doctrinaire pursuit of ideological purity at all costs.The impure receive terror, pogroms, purges, Holy Inquisitions, and Star Chamber Courts.  The pure receive the power to sit in judgment over everything and everyone; to play god and decide who lives and who dies.This violent winnowing of human society from anything discordant from their woke ideal is not truly about justice.  It is designed to detach the individual from all healthy relationships, making the solitary person isolated, vulnerable, and more easily subjugated.This pattern is ubiquitous in abusive relationships.  The abuser always attempts to detach their victim from their family, friends, and other worldly contacts.  Alone, the victim is at the mercy of the abuser.  Despite their talk of social justice, the woke among us mean to abuse us.  As Robespierre said during the French Revolution, virtue without terror is useless.We each must insist that our naturally evolved human relationships, personal associations, faiths, and traditions not be reduced to the raw calculus of a dogmatic understanding of power and justice.In China during the Cultural Revolution, adolescents were given Mao's "Little Red Book", a summary of the expressed insights of the greatest mass murderer in human history.  These Middle Schoolers were organized into Red Guard cadres, given AK-47 assault rifles, and entrusted with the power of judgment over everyone and everything in the People's Republic.  30-50 million Chinese were murdered in 10 years, and every survivor was brutalized; left carrying scars to this day.  The fictional "Lord of the Flies" had nothing on this hellscape reality!This is the dystopia we are abetting if we continue to abide woke progressives savaging everything that is not of them as being indecently racist or obscenely oppressive.  This extremist cult has already spread from college campuses into corporate boardrooms.  How long until armed thugs fill our streets, holding "People's Courts" where "Enemies of the People" are identified, tried, punished, and even executed; all in one afternoon?We must stand by plain friendship and free play, straightforward associations and time-honored traditions.  We must insist that most of the relationships in which we engage have nothing to do with power politics.We must defend the sublime complexity of real human societies, and the needs of most every man, woman, and child to be free to fully engage without permission from would-be Political Commissars.  We must do these things and more, because if we don't then we risk the extermination of everything spontaneous in this world that makes life worth living.

The team tackles a listener question about cigar clubs and other cigar buying platforms while smoking the My Father La Gran Oferta. They did a vertical tasting of Broken Barrel Whiskey, which significantly increased the "slur-factor" on the show. Finally, Erik sat down with Jose Ortega, VP of Sales for My Father Cigars, and discussed La Gran Oferta and what My Father Cigars has in store for 2023. Ortega may or may not have dropped a hint about a special release in the works.

Today we continue talking about the work of Ortega. This time about his book Revolt of the Masses.  Twitter - @iamstephenwest for updates   Thank you for wanting to know more today than you did yesterday. :)

Today we begin talking about the work of Jose Ortega Y Gasset. 

Elevate Your Ethics. Because whether you've hunted for a single day or a lifetime, we never stop trying to elevate the hunt. (These shorts will share new ideas, people, and issues within the larger topic of Hunting's Culture and Ethics.)Where to start?-An introduction to Jose Ortega y Gasset and his book.  Make your experiences personal, relatable, and shareable.  “One does not hunt in order to kill; on the contrary, one kills in order to have hunted.”“A Good Hunter's way of hunting is a hard job which demands much from man: he must keep himself fit, face extreme fatigues, accept danger. It involves a complete code of ethics of the most distinguished design; the hunter who accepts the sporting code of ethics keeps his commandments in the greatest solitude, with no witnesses or audience other than the sharp peaks of the mountains, the roaming cloud, the stern oak, the trembling juniper, and the passing animal.”~Meditations on Hunting by Jose Ortega y Gasset, Twentieth Century Spanish Philosopher.

In a Gallup poll conducted last August, Democrats were much more likely to overestimate the COVID hospitalization risk for unvaccinated people.  Meanwhile, Republicans were more likely to overestimate the risks associated with the vaccine and underestimate its efficacy. So, what's behind this COVID hysteria? How does a doctor think about the trend toward vaccine coercion? And what effect has the ACA had on healthcare? Dr. John Hunt is a recovering pulmonologist and immunologist turned libertarian economist and coauthor of The High Ground novel series. On this episode of The Wiggin Sessions, John joins me to explain why there was a pandemic of COVID-positive tests rather than a true COVID-19 pandemic and describe who he would encourage to get vaccinated—and who doesn't really need it. John weighs in on the real pros and cons of the mRNA vaccine, discussing why it's unethical to coerce people to get vaccinated when there's no proof it will generate herd immunity. Listen in for John's insight on the misaligned incentives of Obamacare and learn his investment strategy for betting against global fiat currency. Key Takeaways   John's insight on how our fears around COVID are amplified by the media Who John would encourage to get the COVID-19 vaccine (and who doesn't really need it) Why John believes there was a pandemic of COVID-positive tests rather than a true COVID pandemic How the facts are lost when an illness gets politicized John's take on how the NIH guides scientific research in the US How John thinks about the risk of mRNA vaccines to genetically engineer in certain people Why it's unethical to coerce people to get vaccinated when there's no proof it will generate herd immunity The misaligned incentives of Obamacare and how it inspired John to leave medicine What John is doing to protect people's finances when they're ill or injured and need to interact with insurance Why John suggests betting against fiat by investing in gold, silver and BTC  Connect with Dr. John Hunt The High Ground Novels Connect with Addison Wiggin Consilience Financial Be sure to follow The Wiggin Sessions on your socials.

In today’s episode, in honor of Bastille Day next week, and Fourth of July last week, I want to talk about the ongoing evolution in elitism, and the problem of how the emerging new elites can be better than the old ones being toppled.1/ Elites are a constant and arguably necessary presence in history. Political revolutions that try to do away with elites invariably seem to either fail quickly, or install new elites without meaning to. So the question for me is not how to get rid of elites, but how to try and ensure the ones we end up with are better than the last lot.2/ I’m going to sketch out a rough theory of elitism and its dynamics, and then get to posing the question itself, and then propose an answer, from the perspective of both the new TBD elites, and the masses they define, so let’s get started.3/ First, the concept of an elite is not dependent on a particular structure of society. Elites might be kings, nobles, elected leaders, bureaucrats, scholars, scientists, priests, cult leaders, media leaders, business executives, or subcultural inner circles. The prevailing idea of masses is induced by the prevailing idea of elites as a complement.4/ So there’s always a subset that regards itself, and is regarded as, entitled to a sustainably better than average human condition, with attendant privileges. And importantly, it is a stable equilibrium. Those who are worse off, the non-elites, and think the elites don’t deserve their better conditions, still live with it. The masses rarely disturb the peace unless they are under extreme stress.5/ Elitism and privilege go together of course. The word privilege literally means private law. Elites are a group for whom laws apply differently, or a different set of laws apply. In the most extreme case, they are formally above the law entirely. That’s the usual definition of a monarch and the dividing line between monarchs and ordinary nobles. 6/ The nobility might have a privileged code of law, but they are still governed by a rule of law, even if it’s not the same one as applies to non-elites. This special treatment has to be pretty special though, so I don’t use privilege in the broad social justice sense of the term, as in white privilege. That’s a different, more diffuse sense of privilege as a structural advantage. I’m talking narrow privilege where you can get exceptional, personalized treatment under whatever rule of law applies to you. 7/ For example, in medieval Europe, the nobility had hereditary property rights, governed by Church law, and the commoners mostly didn’t have the same sorts of property rights, only duties. But what made the law for the nobility special was that it was personally administered, with exceptions being more important. Laws honored in the breach rather than observance, as Shakespeare put it. 8/ So for example, there were laws against consanguinous marriages, but the Church did brisk business in allowing exceptions. Or you have indulgences absolving you of sins that are more easily available to nobility. Or in more modern times, draft exemptions. That’s what privilege looks like.9/ So one way or the other, some subset of humans will create not only better than average conditions for themselves through private laws, they will even get exceptional treatment under that private law. Or a position above the law entirely.10/ A big part of the stability of this condition is personal social capital: knowing the right people, with the right level of trust, to get rules bent or interpreted in your favor. Or being treated as an exception. Or in the extreme case, laws simply made to your specifications to benefit you and disadvantage others. In the most extreme case, they simply don’t apply to you.11/ If you ignore human fallibility and corruption, and look at this as a systems design, it is actually kinda smart to divide the world into 3 zones this way: a zone where the rules apply absolutely, a zone where they can be bent and exceptions are possible, and a zone outside the laws. It gives you a broad ability to evolve the system. 12/ It’s like how, in The Matrix, the architect declared that the city of Zion, Neo, and the Oracle were as much part of the design of the system as Agent Smith. You could even argue that though the architect was God, Neo was the emperor, the citizens of Zion, both red-pilled and native-born, were the nobility, the Oracle was the chief priestess, and the bots like Agent Smith and the blue-pilled people in the Matrix were the non-elites.13/ But back in our world, I asked my Twitter followers whether they consider themselves part of the current elites. Out of 468 respondents, 34% said yes, and 66% said no. Which seems about right since I write for a pretty privileged class of readers.14/ Okay, so with this definition, if you look back at history, it looks like a series of experiments in elitism rather than a series of experiments in governance. Some of them end well, some end badly. But all of them end. The conceptualization of an elite class is not stable.15/ Definitions of elites shift pretty slowly, and typically only move significantly when the technology of trust changes. It used to be about provably noble blood-lines. Then it was about visibly living by a particular code, noblesse oblige. Then it was about money, then it was about education. Maybe in the far future, it will be about being red-pilled out of an AI simulation, so the rules don’t apply to you.16/ Now, while a notion of elite is stable, there is what Vilfredo Pareto called circulation of elites. He traced how two kinds of elites, which he called lions and foxes based on earlier terminology from Machiavelli, tend to simply take turns being the elites. Foxes rule by the power of the pen, lions through the power of the sword. 17/ As I have said, the economy of elitism is sort of system independent, and is based on personal trust and social-capital based computing within a calculus of privileges — exemptions from the law. 18/ A good model of this calculus is Selectorate Theory, which is described in The Dictator’s Handbook, compares all kinds of political systems in terms of 3 groups: influentials, essentials, and interchangeables. Influentials are always elites, interchangeables are never elites, and some essentials are elites. It doesn’t matter whether it is a dictatorship or democracy. This is how governance by elites happens.19/ My final theoretical point is about knowledge. The relation among elites and masses is one usually based on what are called noble lies, where elites exploit their privileged access to ideas, information, and education, to craft false consciousnesses for the masses to inhabit. Think of them as blue pills. How you feel about these noble lies, or blue pills, is a big part of your philosophy of elitism.20/ You can distinguish two basic approaches of elitism. There is what is sometimes called Straussian elitism, which is generally conservative, but not always, and is based on the paternalistic belief that elites lying to the masses for their own good is a good thing. So you get a distinction between esoteric elite red-pill knowledge and exoteric, non-elite blue-pill knowledge meant for the general public.21/ The other approach, which you could broadly call pluralism, is more democratic in spirit, and eschews noble lying, at least conscious noble lying, based on the principle that even if it gets noisy, messy, uninformed, and ignorant, it’s a good thing to level the epistemic playing field, and not privilege some flavors of knowledge structurally. I’m pretty strongly in this camp. There is no blue versus red pill. Everything is available for anyone to learn.22/ Okay, now that we have this basic historical sense of what elitism is, and how it works, we can ask, what makes for good elites versus bad elites? It is important to keep a sense of the real history of elitism when you talk about this question, because it is easy to get caught up in theories. In the collage image accompanying this podcast, I’ve included several famous historical examples. 23/ The storming of the Bastille, the American Declaration of Independence, the Magna Carta, and Lee Kuan Yew, Nehru, and Jomo Kenyatta giving their famous speeches. I also included a picture of Muammar Qadaffi’s corpse after he was killed by a mob — it is important to remember that elitism can end like that. So this is the gestalt of what elitism as a historical practice is. Or to use an esoteric word, the praxis of elitism as a consciously held philosophy.24/ But we shouldn’t anchor too much on these iconic moments when one set of elites takes over from another, or when non-elites temporarily bring down elites altogether, creating a vacuum. The essence of elitism isn’t in these moments of creative destruction of elite power, but in quieter unaccountable workings away from public scrutiny.25/ So think of closed-door board meetings, experts in a committee meeting setting health standards, Congressional committees hashing out the details of a bill, lobbyists waiting to meet a senator to push some agenda, unaccountable editors in a press room deciding which public figure to attack. Unaccountable tech leaders deciding how an algorithm should work. That’s day-to-day elitism.26/ This unaccountability by the way, isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It is what it is. To the extent the elites are agents of the will of society at large, there is just so much detail involved in the exercise of actual power that there is no possible way all of it could be made transparent to everybody. At best you can be slightly less opaque and unaccountable than the last crowd.27/ There’s also a middle-class, provincial version I don’t want to discount too much, like a local city leader calling in a favor with the local police chief, or a powerful business person talking to a school principal about their child. Any behavior that exercises privilege is elite behavior. The defining bit is not amount or scale of power, but the fact that it is exercised in privileged ways — private law, with a degree of unaccountability and exceptionalism.28/ Now that I’ve painted a portrait, there’s a fork in the road. You can either accept that this is the way the world works and always will, or you can imagine some sort of utopia where there are no elites and no zone of society that operates on the basis of privilege. 29/ Whether you are a commune anarchist who believes direct democracy or consensus will get rid of elites, or a blockchain libertarian who thinks code-is-law will get rid of elites, down that road I think is mainly delusion. I’ll just point to a famous article, the Tyranny of Structurelessness and leave it at that. Getting rid of elites does not work.30/ One reason is of course that elites have power and they use that power to keep themselves in power even as structural definitions and models of elitism change, become more or less informal, and ideologically different and so on. Angry masses understand this aspect of the persistence of elites. But this is not the biggest reason.31/ The biggest reason, which revolutionaries routinely discount, is that humans seem to desperately want elites of some sort. Maybe not the current sort, or the current model, and definitely not the current specific people, but some elites. Maybe you want black instead of white, women instead of men, techies instead of lawyers, or trans instead of cis, the point is, you want elites.32/ There may be strong preferences for a system of choosing elites. That’s kinda what ideology is. Or looser preferences. For example, I tend to prefer fox elites over lion elites, a large selectorate to a small one, and pluralism over noble lies. I also prefer strong mid-level mini-oligarchic patterns of power to either imperially centralized patterns or extremely fragmented, decentralized patterns.33/ The psychological function of elites appears to be to model how life can and ought to be lived. But this is a pretty loose specification. Christians think in terms of What Would Jesus Do. Confucians in ancient China thought in terms of how to codify the will of the Emperor into law. Woke elites think in term of how to turn intersectional theory into prescription, and anti-Woke elites think in terms of making classical liberalism great again.34/ It’s important to keep your definition of elites broad. For example, many people pretend that people like court jesters (and people often classify me as one) are among the non-elite. Maybe formally, but informally, they wield power and privilege — in my sense of access to exceptional treatment — in ways that makes them elite. So today in the US, the cast of Saturday Night Live, stand-up comics, and people like Jon Stewart and Trevor Noah are definitely elites. 35/ Anti-elite philosophy and philosophers are also necessarily elite simply by virtue of how their influence operates. So whether you’re taking about the Taoist sage Zhuangzi in ancient China or important figures like Robert Anton Wilson in the Discordian subculture of modern America, they’re all elites. Just because you laugh at other elites with sticks up their asses doesn’t make you not elite.36/ There’s many theories of this psychological function. There is a basic ethics theory of people just wanting guidance on how to have a good life, and looking for teachers. There is the theory of elites as surrogate parental figures. There is the Girardian theory of mimetic envy. Each theory explains some aspects and some situations well, and others poorly, but the point is, that psychological function exists. Elites are models of how to live life.37/ Okay, so now that we know what elites are, who counts as elites, how elitism and privilege work, and why they are both psychologically necessary for societies and structurally hard to eliminate, you can finally ask, what makes for good elites.38/ It’s an important question to ask right now, because the current regime of elites is definitely nearing its end. Chris Hayes wrote a good book about this back in 2012, called Twilight of the Elites, and there’s been a lot of other writing about it, like Moses Naim’s End of Power, and Martin Gurri’s Revolt of the Public. 39/ The elites are of course not going quietly. My friend Nils Gilman wrote a great article about the reaction, called The Twin Insurgency, and there is in general a lot of attention on how the current elites are rapidly trying to secure what they have, and sort of batten down the hatches. 41/ But I think the old elites are kinda done for in the next decade. My hypothesis about this is a simple one about how elites fail. In general, elites fail when their relationships with each other become more important than their relationships with the world. Not just masses, the world. The inner reality of the elites absorbs all their attention: whether it is court intrigues, scholarly debates in journals, boardroom battles, product architecture arguments, rivalries among schools of economists, or media wars. 42/ Once an elite class has turned into this kind of inward-focused blackhole unmoored from the larger universe, it’s only a matter of time before it self-destructs. With or without help from the revolting masses. It doesn’t really matter how much power they have. Their hold on that power is a function of the strength of their connection to the world.43/ This is one reason the function of policing is in the spotlight, because the job of the police is to enforce a particular relationship between elites and masses. When this enforcement gets particularly one-sided, they turn into a Praetorian Guard like in ancient Rome. So calls to defund, deunionize, or demilitarize the police, and theories of how policing itself can be ended as a function, are also part of new experiments in elitism.44/ Whether it goes down in flames or more peacefully, change of some sort is coming. If my theories are correct, any non-elite period will be short-lived. The shorter, the bloodier. The current idea of power may be ending, but the role of elite power and privilege will not end. Policing as we know it may end, but some enforcement of elite-mass relationships will remain. It will simply take on a new form in the new medium.45/ Already you see weird kinds of new elites, like online personalities, offline protest coordinators, skilled hackers, and people who are good at crafting spectacles like videos of bad “Karen” behavior. Much of this gets labeled populism, but it’s important to note that each of these manifestations of so-called populism comes with its own breed of new elites, mostly descended from old elites.46/ I think the populist phase of the culture wars might even be over. The actual commoners are exhausted from decades of violence, both physical and cultural. They can at most come out to riot online and offline occasionally. The real battle now is between old and new elites, and within old and new group. And of course, it’s confused by lots of overlapping membership.47/ For example, in the last few weeks, an open battle has broken out between tech industry thought leaders and media leaders. And right now there’s a weird letter doing the rounds on Harpers magazine, signed by a bunch of old elites denouncing a bunch of the new elites. 48/ The elite wars have really gotten going now, because everybody senses old institutions are dying, and emerging ones are at the point in their evolution where they are ripe for capture by one faction of wannabe elites or another.49/ Basically, you could say a new era of experiments in elitism is about to get underway, with more or less blood on the streets around the world. The question again is, what experiments should you support? How can you minimize the bloodshed? How can you try and ensure the new elites are good. If you’re a candidate elite, how do you plan to be good?50/ I don’t know the general answers to these questions, but I suspect I have an approximately equal claim to being a D-list member of the elite in both the old and new worlds. So I can only share my answer. I think the key to being a good elite is to take your function — serving as a model of how life should be lived — seriously. This means thinking more about your connection to the world than your connection with other elites.51/ If you want to define this function more precisely, I think it has to do with the idea that humans are ideally the measure of the world, not the other way around, and privilege is about being among those who get to measure the world rather than being measured by it, and in doing so, create ways to measure non-elites. So if you voted to self-identify as an elite in my Twitter poll, ask yourself: how do I measure the world with my life. 52/ The price of your privilege — which, remember, is special, personalized treatment under private law via access to social capital — is that you are expected to be at the forefront of relating to the wider world, and taking its measure on behalf of all humans. Which means facing uncertainty, and taking on risks, physical, intellectual, and psychological. This is why there is a natural relationship between being a member of the elite, and being expected to lead in the fullest sense of the word. 53/ To lead is to ultimately function as a model to non-elites on how to live, and not just live, but live with, for want of a better word, courage. Since that’s what it means to be the measure of the world, take risks, and deal with uncertainty. Otherwise you’re just a parasite pretending to be a lordly predator. And there’s no real way to fake this. People can tell when you are living courageously.54/ To be non-elite in 2020, on the other hand, is to be measured in a hundred different industrial-bureaucratic ways. The world measures you. Height, weight, gender, wealth, skin color, zip code, credit score, criminal record, degrees, job titles, parentage, and so on. This is what makes you part of the industrial-age masses. This idea didn’t come from nowhere, and is only a century or so old. It’s the complement of the industrial age definition of elites.55/ Being utterly unique and specialized with your 100-dimensional address in society is pretty new. The Spanish philosopher Jose Ortega y Gasset studied how this industrial non-elite human differed from the peasants of the past. My gloss on his theory is that the masses were measured the way they were because the elites were measuring the world in a specific way: through science and rationality.56/ One of the main proposals for new elites on the table right now looks like an extreme form of industrial bureaucratism, namely intersectional bureaucratism. The other one looks like a throwback to agrarian feudal elitism, with nobility and peasantry. Both are of course lazy and lousy, and you can tell because neither is in the least bit courageous, and both involve an existing set of elites primarily dealing with each other rather than with the world.57/ If you think you aren’t elite now, or won’t be elite in the future, your part of the equation is to ask, first, whether you think elites are necessary, and if so what kind you want. A way to restate that question is to ask: how do you want to measure yourself against the world? The elites you want are the ones measuring the world itself in a complementary way.58/ Whatever it is, it is a particular model of courage that inspires you enough to follow. Your main challenge is spotting real courage facing the world, which does not lie in facing competing elites. If your chosen elites are elites primarily by virtue of battling or beefing with the elites you don’t choose, they are not good elites, and you are not choosing particularly good elites to define who you are. Both of you are going to be miserable.59/ The good news is, there’s never been such a culture of widespread experimentation in new modes of being elite, so you have a lot of choices. The bad news is, it’s going to get really ugly while it plays out. The future elites are going to be playing Game of Thrones for a while, and the future masses are going to be playing Hunger Games for a while.60/ So all I can say is, may the best elites win, and may the best measure of the masses prevail.

A Whangarei GP says local doctors are being overwhelmed by the numbers of people seeking tests for Covid-19. The region's Medical Officer of Health, Dr Jose Ortega, sought to ease fears yesterday by issuing a public statement that there are NO active, confirmed or probable cases of Covid-19 in Northland. Regions such as Auckland as also experiencing a surge in demand, with huge queues at testing centres. Dr Geoff Cunningham is a Whangarei GP.

It was the best of times it was the worst of times. That basically describes what is this week’s episode of Not Just Blowing Smoke. A perfect storm of technical challenges caused by National outages of cell phone coverage and intermittent Wi-Fi because of said issues, ended up making the first half of what we thought we were recording completely unusable. Which is a damn shame because it was a great Interview With My Father cigars VP of sales Jose Ortega. We had a great time, had a great interview, and really enjoyed reviewing the My Father The Judge TAA Robusto. Unfortunately all of that was lost. As a result, what we have for this week is the second half of the show where are we smoked and reviewed Rattray’s Marlin Flake pipe tobacco. We will have Jose on again in the near future. But we are choosing to see the glass as half full and making lemonade out of lemons by going ahead with putting out the half of the show that we did get. We hope you enjoy!This is the only podcast that brings the wealth of knowledge, expertise, and fun of Twins Smoke Shop, New England’s premiere smoke shop, right to you, wherever you are, whenever you want it. Each week we review a cigar and a pipe tobacco and have each expertly paired with a spirit or cocktail from the bar at our own 7-20-4 Lounge. And that is…Not Just Blowing Smoke! New episodes every Monday. Follow us on Podbean, iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, and Google.

UNK Class of 2020 graduate and Lexington native Jose Ortega talks about how his plans and education were altered due to COVID-19.

Either way your souls are blazing through my skies Don't you know that I wrote this for you to listen to Affectation to addiction placate fact from friction And a lifetime came and went in solitude Can you hear me?

Man has to be himself in spite of unfavorable circumstances; that means he has to make his own existence at every single moment. He is given the abstract possibility of existing, but not the reality. This he has to conquer hour after hour. Man must earn his life, not only economically but metaphysically. ...Things are given their being ready made."

“We live at a time when man believes himself fabulously capable of creation, but he does not know what to create. Lord of all things, he is not lord of himself. He feels lost amid his own abundance. With more means at his disposal, more knowledge, more technique than ever, it turns out that the world today goes the same way as the worst of worlds that have been: it simply drifts”. In this episode of Made You Think, Neil and I discuss Revolt of the Masses by José Ortega y Gasset. In this pre-WWII collection of essays Ortega y Gasset critiques and predicts the rise and predominance of the "Mass-man" class and instigates us to be accountable of our destiny. “The select man is not the petulant person who thinks himself superior to the rest, but the man who demands more of himself than the rest, even though he may not fulfill in his person those higher exigencies”. We cover a wide range of topics, including: The profile of a Mass-man, its differences with the Noble-man, and how to avoid being mediocre. Liberalism concepts today and in the past. When to listen to others opinions and when not. Behaviour within and between groups. About being responsible of our destiny and having the will to build our self future. Perceptions and regulation viewed by different sides and generations. And much more.

We cover a wide range of topics, including: The necessity for a heroic purpose to motivate us and the current lack of it Why we do things and behave in certain ways The fear of death being the core of our psychological disturbances How we often take comfort in trivial things to give us the illusion of control Death being a prime motivation for us to do things and take action Breaking down our need for certainty and control in life Balancing the need to reflect with the need to experience And much more.

Also, some discussion on time, various aspects of human nature, and the differences between everyone’s perspective. 8:49 - Becoming conscious of what we’re doing to earn our feeling of heroism to find out that it’s the main self-analytic problem of life. Some thoughts on this and discussion on how most of the youth today do not have some big heroic ideal that they’re pushing towards. 11:10 - Some more thoughts on the lack of heroic purpose and the lack of meaning in our lives today. How this is related to motivation and depression, as well. “If you don’t have a propelling narrative for what you’re doing with your life, then you will naturally be depressed and feel like your life doesn’t matter.” 12:53 - Tearing down our heroes to give ourselves a sense of control and this happening in society. Some examples of this and then some discussion on mentor/mentee relationships, 16:26 - Discussion on the terror of death and various examples of this theme throughout cultures, societies, and religions. Also how our fear of death influences our view of the world. “It’s this denial of death that is our main psychological challenge.” 19:13 - The problem of us often inventing reasons for anxiety when there are none, some examples of people doing this, and how this relates to our mortality. Also, how we should try to not waste energy worrying about something that may happen, and instead saving that energy for when it might happen. “We all just sort of invent these anxieties and reasons to worry, and they seem really important and serious to us, but to outsiders, they usually seem trivial.” 23:35 - How we need the fear of mortality to motivate us to do things. Also, some thoughts on how we’re trying to extend our lives and live forever, and some thoughts on consciousness and the ego. “We need death to motivate us to do anything in life.” 27:29 - Discussion on empathy and consciousness in animals, the evolution of species, and survival instincts. Also, a bit on how much food we consume, and how much resources it takes to grow something and then when we lose that something, we lose all of those resources that were involved. 33:32 - Various psychoanalytic concepts and the next section on life being this chaos that we get lost in, and hiding behind these shared mythologies to avoid that chaos. Comforting ourselves to hide from the true reality of that situation. 38:22 - Thinking of information having objective value, and some thoughts on how we adopt these beliefs to gain something. Also, when someone challenges that belief, we lash out at them. How noticing ourselves having an emotional reaction when this happens shows us that that belief is most likely crony. How noticing this emotional response in others can benefit you and examples of this, as well. 44:13 - Discussion on how ideologies gain their strength, people getting emotionally invested in them, how we all need something we can cling to really strongly, and how we jump around with clinging to things. Also, some discussion on jumping around from obsessions and how people who feel strongly in certain communities will lash out on others who do or think differently. 53:40 - Some discussion and examples of us doing things more aggressively than we normally would to gain a sense of control that we’re lacking in another area of our life. Doing trivial acts to gain the illusion of control. 55:52 - Thoughts on cryptocurrency and how we will sometimes mess up things on purpose, just to regain that sense of control and do it all over again. How this can lead to loss of control, as well. 1:02:19 - How we’re always going to have various anxieties and how we can use these to trigger personal growth. Also, a bit on finding out what it is that you’re avoiding the most, and how that is most likely what you need to be doing. How taking a small action towards doing that can make it easier to do the rest and some discussion on making compromises with yourself, as well. 1:05:24 - The next section on the spell cast by persons that is transference. Describing transference, and how we deify certain persons to gain more control in our own lives due to following that person. Also, how we get offended when someone ruins our image of something that we have a fixed perspective on. 1:11:20 - How religion has to have had some survival benefit to be so pervasive throughout the world and every culture and some discussion on the shared myth of certain similarities between people. 1:12:50 - Thoughts on how we’ve lost spirituality and mysticism over the years, and how modern man tries to replace that vital awe and wonder with a how-to-do-it manual. Why we prefer this manual and why we need to think that everything is perfectly logical to remove the anxiety from the dreaded uncertainty. Tying this back into the illusion of control. 1:15:57 - How we all avoid this fear of death and dealing with our problems by tranquilizing ourselves with something trivial (celebrities, social media, the news, etc). How we need to face the uncertainty of certain situations and the true reality of situations. 1:17:25 - Feeling the pain of failure, engaging in experience and being fully invested in it to learn from it. Also, not just knowing, but actually living and plunging into experiences. “If you have all reflection without any plunging into experience, you’ll just go crazy. And if you have just all plunging with no reflection, you’re a brute. You have to balance both of them.” 1:19:15 - Some last thoughts and how we have to face up to our need to be heroic. How culture doesn’t really provide opportunities to be heroic and helps us forget it, and how this deprives us of our heroic urge to victory.
