You’ve Got It Backwards : Aristocracy
Aristocracy CREATES property rights by forcibly demanding them of everyone he or she encounters, under the threat that he restricts his use of his WEALTH of VIOLENCE, only upon the condition that all others do so as well. It is not that the world desires property rights. Demonstrably that is false. What the world desires…

Why Progressives Are In Denial
Why progressives are in denial over the immorality of GROWTH via CONSUMPTION and IMMIGRATION, rather than GROWTH via CONSTANT POPULATION and INVENTION. Because if they don’t stay buried in denial, they have to admit that their greatest ‘achievement’ of the 20th century was a catastrophic failure that destroyed the inter-GENERATIONAL system of calculation, cooperation…
Helping Others With Other People’s Money
… is just a cheap way to demonstrate conspicuous consumption because of your wealth. It’s Status seeking. It’s selfish. If you want to change the world, then pay for it yourself. It doesnt take much. Just a little self sacrifice. But everyone is a wanna-be. A pretender. “Artificial feel-good.” If it doesn’t cost it…

(CORE) On Race And Diversity In Libertarianism
(cross posted for reference) (insights) (important) METHODS Methods of justification for libertarianism (or any other political and moral bias) 1) Sentimental (I like it) 2) Moral (it’s better) 3) Historical (it works) 4) Empirical (direct experimentation) 5) Economic (indirect experimentation) 6) Ratio-scientific (cumulative evidence and theory) TWO SOURCES OF LIBERTARIAN THOUGHT 1) Conservative and Classical…
(CORE) On The Utopianism Of Libertarianism
TO TOM : ON THE UTOPIANISM OF LIBERTARIANISM (all) (worth reading) (insight) Rothbard’s idea is INTENTIONALLY UTOPIAN because he was, like dozens before him, creating a ‘religion’ in pre-democratic political terms, or what in democratic political terms is ‘an ideology’, using OBSCURANT LANGUAGE – the purpose of which is resist criticism, empower argumentation, and create…
Dont Throw Out The Libertarian Baby With The Progressive Bathwater
LIBERTARIAN != ROTHBARDIAN ANARCHO CAPITALIST. Classical liberals are also ‘libertarians’. Rothbardians via the Mises institute adopted the tactics of the marxists, but this time, using the internet – so they’re ‘everywhere’. Anarcho capitalism was structured like the marxist IDEOLOGY. It is a MORAL, not scientific argument, for ideological rather than political purposes. The anarcho capitalist…
um… we’re libertarians.
Um…. We’re libertarians. It’s not just that we have the best political philosophy. It’s not just that we have the best articulated political philosophy. It’s not just that our political philosophy corresponds to human behavior as it is, rather than as we wish it was. It’s not just that we’ve solved the problem of formal…

The Reason You Use The Word ‘liberty’ And Not ‘aristocracy’?
Because you are carrying around the enlightenment error that anyone other than egalitarian aristocracy actually desires liberty. They don’t. Aristocracy: 1) Private Property Rights in exchange for contributing Perpetual Military Service in the defense of private property rights of all who have earned them. 2) Egalitarianism: anyone willing to also grant rights and contribute…

The Two Dark Or Anglo-counter-enlightenment Projects
1) Attack on diversity and equality as a means of preserving our ability to use historical deliberative classical liberal institutions 2) Formulation of alternative institutions that make possible the voluntary cooperation between diverse and unequal people. THE RIGHT IS DOING THE FIRST. I (as a libertarian) AM DOING THE SECOND. THE DARK ENLIGHTENMENT IS…
Aristocratic Egalitarian Vs Rothbardian Ethics
(revised and expanded) It’s pretty hard to beat non-aggression as an epistemic test. It’s the only intersubjectively verifiable test. We can’t really know anything else for certain. We can very easily see violence and theft. But, does that inability to know much else for certain, stop us from developing ETHICAL and MORAL rules? LETS…
The Problem Of Ratio-moral Versus Ratio-scientific Arguments
(interesting) “Ratio-Scientific vs Ratio-Moral Argument” Historically, Political speech has been structured morally: I) as an expression of positive or negative reaction (IRRATIONAL SELF) II) as an appeal or pleading (RATIONAL BETWEEN INDIVIDUALS) III) as a polemic or criticism (RATIONAL AND ARATIONAL TO AN AUDIENCE) To express one’s feelings or reactions without the structure of reason,…
Propertarian Horizontal Class Theory
PART 1: AWARENESS, INFLUENCE, INCENTIVE AND COERCION SPECTRUM OF INFLUENCE (a) Ignorance – none (b) Awareness – speech (c) Influence – speech (d) Incentive – exchange (e) Coercion – violence (f) Enslavement – perpetual violence INCENTIVES Incentives are factors that motivate and influence the actions of individuals. Something that an influencer can use to provide…
Why Doesn’t It Occur To Us That We Don’t Need A Single, Monopoly Government?
I mean, why does that make sense? If the problem is, that each of us wants different distribution of property rights, then why cant we form organizations with different property rights? It’s not like courts don’t adjudicate by property rights anyway. They have to. Our disputes are over behavior in public, our ability to…

The Female Arms Race Against Men: ‘how Many People Can I Rally’?
(draft)(sketch)(interesting idea) (REVISED) AGAINST ‘RALLYING’ and ‘SHAMING’. The anti-gun emotional-reaction by women is not rational or empirical, but instinctual. . The female strategy for controlling her reproduction is to rally others to her defense. A man with a weapon both intimidates her, and reduces the value of ‘others’. Any empirical argument she makes is justificationary,…

The Mythology Of The Enlightenment
The enlightenment mythos was almost as damaging was christianity. The greatest tragedy in human history may have been the christianization of Europe. The empirical side of the enlightenment was desperately needed to escape jewish mysticism that held us in ignorance for a millennia. Equality under the law, was important for the spread of commerce.…
The Aristocracy Of Everybody, Is A Failure
It isn’t’ just that the majority cannot join the aristocracy, and earn, use and keep property rights. It is that they do not desire to earn, use and keep property rights. People want the benefits of aristocracy but not the effort. They want to be serfs. They want to be taken care of. They don’t…
On The Distribution Of Platonism In The Stem Fields
I have been struggling with this idea for a while: that, for some reason, of the empirical fields, including math, physics, engineering, computer science, and economics (into which I include the social sciences), it appears that platonism seems to originate in philosophical spiritualism, gain legitimacy in mathematics and roll downhill until it is cleansed…
(CORE) The Moral Basis of Red and Blue States?
One’s moral priorities are not a choice, but a justification that has been reduced to an intuition. They must be – reason would be too expensive and too unpredictable for the formation of norms. And those intuitions, which we are in the process of confirming, are both genetically and familially determined. And the structure of…
