2025-09-05 14:15:12 UTC

Love has nothing, zero, nada to do with being nice.
Love is all about discrimination: separating the good from the bad, choosing the good, and enacting it.
With "the good" aiming at long term ethical flourishing, not politeness or "look at me" gestures.
To do it well requires knowledge, discernment, effort.
You don't love your child by serving unlimited candy and iPads.
You don't love your spouse by refusing to confront them about their abuse of service staff.
You don't love your people by indulging their fanciful notions in politics.
No.
You love them by doing what's right and being prepared to stand by your convictions in the face of opposition and loss.
To do that, you must A) actually be motivated by love, and B) know what's right.
A is mostly a (difficult) decision, and the continuous recommitment to that decision when it is inevitably tested and found wanting.
B is just as difficult: it requires said knowledge, discernment, and effort. You need a system of measurement appropriate to the domain you're acting in and you better know both the limits of that system and your own limits in applying it.
I sometimes say that "moral certainty is the most prized possession in the world".
People will kill to get and keep it, and they will kill in its name. Providing it is a dangerous game, especially at scale.
This is the terrifying power that "scribblers" hold: to walk people through the depths of their own soul and convince them that this makes them angels.
It is why prophets and innovators are persecuted always. Not because they are right in their pronouncements (although they very well may be), but because they manufacture an alternate source of moral authority.
And with everything invested in the status quo, "they" can't have that.
Because where there is moral authority, people and their resources inevitably follow.
This should be a profoundly encouraging message for you if you understand it.
It means that in a time of degeneracy and decay, instead of groveling for a job or handout at the feet of pharisees, you can do difficult things that test your resolve, call out evil, and grow a collective capable of overcoming it.
Now, few will do so — power laws are in everything and the risks are real.
But the ones who do and succeed?
They will inherit the earth.

Civilizations face three timelines.
The first rejects technology, seeking primitivism and return to nature.
The second accelerates technology, discarding humanity in pursuit of progress.
The third balances technology with nature and human flourishing.
The first is retreat, the second is escape. The third is reconciliation and it may be the only viable path.
El Salvador is but a fledgling nation but if it recognizes its own constraints and makes the right choices, who knows... perhaps it can become (or birth) a third timeline civilization.

El Salvador today is shifting.
Term limits are gone. Strong rule is consolidating. Law is being reinforced. Some see danger, others see renewal.
But these are not trivial adjustments. They mark the possible emergence of a new form of sovereignty.
History will record whether this moment becomes rebirth, decay, or innovation.

Purpose is never simply inherited. It is chosen, but always under constraint.
A society does not define itself by words but by how its chosen purpose fits the pressures it faces. To serve God, to celebrate life, to embody liberty, to master technology — each is tested against real constraints.
Purpose that fails the test leads to collapse.

Myths endure because they answer three questions:
Where did we come from?
Why are we here?
Where are we going?
These answers orient groups, provide meaning, and sustain direction. Civilizations unable to sustain these answers fragment into confusion and dissolve.
A living myth is the operating system of persistence.

The West today stands at a threshold.
Our institutions are hollowing out. Our myths are exhausted. Our forms are running out of steam. Civilizations at this stage either rejuvenate themselves or collapse into successors.
Renewal requires clarity about what must be preserved, what must be abandoned, and what must be invented. Collapse awaits those who refuse the choice.

Individuals undergo three births.
First: inheritance, the body, the family, the unchosen beginning.
Second: responsibility, the assumption of strategy, the pursuit of survival and reproduction.
Third: contribution, what is given back—children, wisdom, art, law, or legacy.
Civilizations mirror this cycle. They are born under constraints, mature into strategies, and either pass on culture to successors or collapse into silence.
Collective survival largely depends upon your group's members successfully passing through all three births.

Atlantis may have been real, or it may be allegory. What matters is the lesson: not every people leaves evidence.
Some vanish almost without trace. Some survive only in rumor and myth. Others are reduced to speculation and half-remembered fragments.
Archaeology cautions us that the record of history is incomplete. The worlds forgotten may outnumber the worlds remembered.
Neither our existence nor our glorious deeds are guaranteed to be remembered.

Tools not only change survival, they change thought.
In China, irrigation and rivers produced philosophies of flow and balance. In India, the wheel gave rise to cosmologies of karma and dharma.
The industrial age built its worldviews out of machines and mechanics. The nuclear age spoke in atoms and reactions.
Today, our tool is computation. We frame reality in code, simulation, algorithms, and evolutionary processes.
Tools become metaphors, and metaphors become meaning.

Constraints change.
Climates warm or cool. Rivers dry up or flood. Forests vanish. Populations collapse. Competitors arrive. The niche that once sustained a people shifts, evaporates, or moves.
Some groups adapt, reinvent themselves, and persist. Others cling to exhausted strategies and vanish. Archaeology is full of ruins left by those who failed to move with their niche.
History’s silence may hide even more who left no trace at all.

Ancients invoked gods not as superstition but as devices of measurement.
When knowledge ran out but decisions had to be made, augurs read entrails, oracles spoke riddles, rituals anchored choices. These devices provided closure, prevented paralysis, and made decisions socially defensible.
Today, we invoke different gods: ideologies, sciences, data, even algorithms.
The function persists: to anchor choices when certainty is unattainable.

Constraints do not all press equally. There is a stack.
Water and topography. Minerals, forests, and wildlife. Fertility rates and intelligence distributions. Neighbors and rivals.
The strongest constraints in the stack shape how a society evolves.
A river valley produces irrigation civilizations. A seafaring geography produces traders and pirates. A rich plain produces farmers and conquerors.
The form is chosen by the weight of constraint.

Decision-making, whether personal or political, is never a free-for-all. It is a funnel.
We begin with infinite options. Constraints narrow them into fewer viable strategies.
At the personal level, this may be career, family, or philosophy. At the societal level, it may be agriculture, trade, or war.
To persist, both individuals and groups must learn to choose constraints they can keep, because abandoned or false constraints lead to collapse.

Natural Law is not about what we want to be true, but about what we cannot change. It is the study of constraints: water, climate, intelligence, fertility, competition.
Civilizations survive by aligning their institutions and values with these constraints. Those that defy them may flourish for a season, but they eventually collapse and fade into the background of history.
Persistence depends on discovering and living within what is invariant.

At Palestra Society we work to uncover these legacies in El Salvador.

These inquiries may appear lofty but we view them as a possible foundation of survival and direction for a civilization.

Every civilization leaves traces.
Some constructed pyramids that still dominate skylines, others carved philosophies into language, or made powerful art. Some left ruins we puzzle over, others left almost nothing at all.
What remains is not chance: it reflects what a people valued, the constraints they endured, and the strategies they chose for survival.
Legacy then is simply the record of values made durable.

Ever heard of the creative process?
I learned its power from Robert Fritz after my friend Nick introduced me to his work.
The basic pitch is simple: professional creators don’t rely on flimsy inspiration for their creations.
Instead, they:
1. articulate the outcome,
2. take stock of current reality, and then
3. take action to close the gap between the two.
It’s so deceptively simple and yet so incredibly powerful.
Since learning this, my creative output has grown immensely.
I’ve organized a course, started working out consistently, strengthened my relationship, executed a couple of professional projects, and more.
I even created my own card deck to assist in creating something using the creative process (pics attached).
I’m curious: what has held you back from creating the outcomes you want? What if all the huffing and puffing in the process wasn’t necessary? Do you really want the outcome or do you prefer being perceived as creative?

Athlete of the Soul
It sounds fake and gay, but there are athletes of the soul out there. Compelled by fate or as acquired taste, they keep on picking the hardest challenges to undergo. Not necessarily physically or even mentally, although those too. No, they train the soul. When few choices are hard, only hard choices actually made differentiate you from the rest. That much has always been true, and perhaps this truly is not anything new, and yet, it feels that way to me.
Don't let the staccato nature of your thoughts stop letting them flow, just shoot, aim, and go. I have worried, and that perhaps is my gravest sin. Imagination belongs to the uses that produce the greatest bounty, and worry just consumes it. It really is true that people throw away their lives for the triflest things. A Taylor Swift concert, the banana peel purposely laid out for a practical joke. People die for the stupidest of reasons, and they give up their lives without dying for even stupider reasons still.
I watched this John Mayer video once where he explains his creative process and it's what I employ just this very moment to write this piece. You just start strumming, or in my case writing, and you make it work. Don't think about it, do it, and do it, and do it more. The craziest thing is what this process yields. It's not even a process so much as a gusto, a deeply vitalistic impulse, an expression of faith. Small perhaps, yes, but one nonetheless.
Writing has been a strangely bimodal affair for me: I rarely do it but when I do, it consumes me completely. I largely attribute it to having very little to say. Some squawk as a way of life, but rarely have I seen those constitutional squawkers edify anyone, let alone themselves.
