Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software. 5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed. 6. National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost. 7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm’s way. 8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive. 9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret. 10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed. 11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice. 12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.I. is set to begin. 13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect. But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet. 14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren — have never known a world war. 15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained, also threaten to shift the balance of power in Asia. 16. We should applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed to act. The culture almost snickers at Musk’s interest in grand narrative, as if billionaires ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves . . . . Any curiosity or genuine interest in the value of what he has created is essentially dismissed, or perhaps lurks from beneath a thinly veiled scorn. 17. Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives. 18. The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service. The public arena—and the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselves—has become so unforgiving that the republic is left with a significant roster of ineffectual, empty vessels whose ambition one would forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within. 19. The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all. 20. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elite’s intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim. 21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. 22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?

La responsabilité de Macron dans la remise en cause de la solidarité atlantique est systématiquement oubliée en France où politiques et médias préfèrent céder à leur réflexe anti-américain et s’en prendre à Donald Trump.

Dans nos démocraties de masse, la vraie politique n'est pas seulement de convaincre les individus, mais de domestiquer les daimons collectifs qui nous traversent.

@precuneanplexus @husafell_stone You make a point, but NRx seems to me less like a doctrine or a precise program than an ideological veneer used to dress up the imperial and absolutist mutation of the American political regime.
English
@OultrePlus @husafell_stone If your house is on fire with your wife and children inside, you don't go driving off in your car to kill the arsonist until they are safely out. Right now the house is on fire and we're chasing down a friend of a friend of the arsonist.

I thought MAGA was a triumphant nail in the coffin of neoconservatism, and no more foreign entanglements etc. Hegseth is bringing that monster back to life. Incompetence is indistinguishable from malice etc.

@precuneanplexus @husafell_stone Do we act as if Western leftism and third-worldism aren't the two heads of the same hydra? We smash Saruman the "white" in the face, and leave Gondor to fend for itself against the Orcs?"
English
@precuneanplexus @husafell_stone Yes, I acknowledge that this isn't one of the primary goals of NRx, but let's think about it: we eradicate the leftist virus in the West? Okay, and then what? Do we just stay quiet in our corner hoping that the Global South remains well-behaved?

L'industrie de la défense se modifie profondément : on passe de géants de l'armement qui produisent sur ordres de l'armée des engins à plusieurs centaines de millions qui mettent 20 ans à sortir, à des start-ups qui expérimentent et financent elles-mêmes des engins plus simples de type drones avec des cycles d'itération de quelques mois.
Aux États-Unis ces boîtes de nouvelle génération viennent puiser leurs noms dans leur mythologie qui est le très récent Seigneur des Anneaux.
En France, l'équivalent serait d'aller chercher dans la chanson de Rolland les noms de nos futures pépites :
- Durandal, l'épée de Roland. Le nom le plus iconique. 3 syllabes, claque comme un coup d'épée. Semble être le pendant parfait de l'americain Anduril ou du germain Hellsing. Mais... une boîte de défense américaine vient de nous le voler en 2022.
Nous avons cependant plein d'autres noms d'épées assez stylées qui feraient de beauxn oms :
- Hauteclaire, l'épée d'Olivier. 3 syllabes, lumineuse, noble. Presque jamais citée hors médiévistes.
- Joyeuse, l'épée de Charlemagne. Magnifique mais un peu plus utilisée.
- Almace, l'épée de l'archevêque Turpin. Une de mes préférées. 3 syllabes, sèche, mystérieuse. Quasi inconnue. Gros potentiel.
- Flamberge, l'épée flamboyante de Renaud de Montauban. Feu + combat. On imagine bien l'essaim incendiaire.
Pour un système cyber d'information, de détection et d'alerte, un nom évident : Olifant, le cor de Roland qu'il brise à Roncevaux. Tragique et héroïque.
Et pour ceux qui veulent une entreprise qui fait vraiment peur - rappelons que Palantir est le nom d'une pierre démoniaque qui corrompt l'âme - je propose Murgleis, l'épée de Ganelon, le traître.

@thz1789 Ça dépend de ce qu’on entend par « masses suffisantes ».
Pour Wagner, c’est toujours un risque à prendre.
Dans tous les cas, les SMP me paraissent inéluctables à terme : entre une armée efficace et une armée dirigée par des démocrates pacifiste, il faudra choisir.
Français
@OultrePlus Est ce que des SMP occidentales ont vraiment les moyens de mobiliser des masses suffisantes d' hommes pour ce type d' opérations?
Est ce que le précédent Wagner ne découragerait pas les nouveaux absolutistes de faire appel à cette technique du mercenariat?
Français
La montée en puissance des SMP incarne parfaitement cette logique : déterritorialisation, formalisation et externalisation du pouvoir de coercition. La guerre échappe à l'état oligarchique et politique pour suivre la fluidité, la concentration et la rentabilité du capital.
