Definitions: Calculable, Computational, Rational, Irrational, Arational, and “Black Box”
(draft) (learning propertarianism) [T]he subtle differences in terms of comparison. DEFINITIONS: CALCULATIVE (HYPOTHETICAL) vs COMPUTATIONAL(DETERMINISTIC) – A process is CALCULATIVE if human beings are required to perform it, and COMPUTATIONAL if (current) computers can perform it. CALCULATIVE INSTITUTIONS – The set of technologies that permit human beings to extend their perception and comparison ability, and…
Reforming Hoppe: A List of Hans Hermann Hoppe’s Errors
(from elsewhere) [I] consider my work as a restatement of Hoppe’s aprioristic justificationary rationalism in ratio-scientific terms. Hoppe’s errors are natural for a German philosopher who was trained by Marxists. And while the errors are substantial by today’s standards, they are limited to errors in construction (justification), with his conclusions from his justifications surviving. This is…
Reformation: The Study Of Man Before and After Propertarianism
[G]iven the Spectrum of : {Neurobiology, Psychology, Sociology, Economics, Evolutionary Strategy, Politics and War}. 1) Neurobiology: how the brain works: chiefly: it’s biological limits to perception, cognition, memory, knowledge and reason. 2) Psychology: the study of the brain’s struggle to acquire and inventory, its limits, and its errors (cognitive biases) given the individual’s reproductive strategy.…
Art. Fashion or Monument.
[C]ontemporary art produces fashion not monument. It is high(short) time preference. A proletarian art. Not an aristocratic one.
Capitalism
[T]he voluntary organization of production, distribution, and trade, that results in networks of sustainable specialization in production distribution and trade, that in turn adapts by change prices to small changes in demand; by reorganizing in response moderate changes; and by dissolution and eventual reformation in response to shocks and persistent changes. People, Skill, Knowledge, Relations.
Liberty Must Be Imposed by Force
LIBERTY (FREEDOM FROM PARASITISM) MUST BE IMPOSED BY FORCE, BUT LIBERTY NEED NOT BE UNIVERSALLY REQUIRED: A MONOPOLY IS NOT NECESSARY. [L]iberty is the desire of those who are able. Security the desire of those who are not. And parasitism is the desire of those who are evil. While strict construction of agreements, and the decidability…
It Was Hard to Convince People Competition is Moral.
[I]t was very hard to convince people that competition was not immoral. Lending was not immoral. And trading was not immoral. That’s because it often wasn’t. Competition functions only when credit is relatively equal to access. Lending only when not hazard-producing or predatory. And trading when not a contrived artificial scarcity. Hence why morality (rational…
The Problem Facing The Lower Castes? Their Martial Elites Have Abandoned Them.
[T]he problem facing our lower castes is that we have abandoned them to the hordes and they will not fight for their elites. And we need their numbers to fight the invasion and conquest. The lower castes must have a reason to fight for their elites. The martial class has abandoned responsibility for protecting the…
Our Feelings Tell Us Very Little Without Limits (Boundaries)
[F]alsification (Limits) tells us what is true. Confirmation is often comforting lie. Heroin feels good. Many drugs feel good. Beer and chips and soccer feel good. Democracy feels good. Security feels good. But many things that feel good are not in fact good. Comforting lies are suicidal. Our feelings evolved in response to scarcity. Bread…
The State is a Vehicle for Lying
[W]omen work so DAMNED hard at maintaining relationships. Men work so hard at providing. Yet we are both ignorant of the costs of the other. In my life, I have been awed by the determination of my significant others to preserve and improve the relationship just as diligently as I have worked to provide for…
Philosophy Before, and After, Propertarianism
[S]trict construction merely makes it very hard to err, bias, and deceive: it’s a process of falsification. A test. What survives the test is a truth candidate. I’m not arrogant when I say that there is one category of philosophy prior to Propertarianism, and on category of philosophy after. Justificationism is now dead if it…
Aristocracy is Good For Every Tribe.
[A]ristocracy is good for every tribe. Every single one. So, I don’t do racism. I don’t want to complain about others. I want to defend against bad tribes. So I just don’t sacrifice for other tribes. Only my own. I love my tribe. Every lunatic one of us. I will cooperate with other tribes, by…
A (Very) Short Course In Decidability.
(learning propertarianism) [W]hat does Decidable mean? REVERSE: In logic we state that a question (statement) is DECIDABLE if an algorithm (set of operations) exists within the limits of the system (rules, axioms, theories) that can produce a decision (choice). In other words, if the sufficient information for the decision is present within the system (ie:…
What’s the Purpose of Economics?
[A] central argument in economics is unsettled: what is the purpose of economics? 1) A social science (political economy) that describes human behavior in a monetary economy, regardless of policy wants or demands, so that we construct institutions that provide the least resistance to cooperation. (The german Austrian school) 2) A means of extending the…

Education: We Do It Wrong.
[W]e do it wrong. 1) Reading and writing. 2) Testimony( witness, grammar, rhetoric, logic, moral law, contract). 3) History(technical,organizational,economic,artistic). 4) Arithmetic( arithmetic, checkbooks, accounting, credit and interest, banking), 5) Mathematics(algebra, trigonometry, statistics, calculus), 6) Economics (micro-economics, institutions of cooperation, macro-economics). 7) Physics(physics, chemistry, biology). Note the absence of politics and indoctrination. Get a job as young…
Elegant New Weapon in the Anti-Krugman Wars
—“The real difference between Chicago and MIT macro is Chicago’s commitment to rules over discretion. Milton Friedman’s endorsement of a constant 3% increase in the money supply was meant to minimize the chance of hyperinflation and to make running the Fed a boring job such that investors had clear expectations of how Policy would be…
Q&A: Curt I Don’t Understand Your Criticism of Mises
QUESTION —“I’ve seen you criticize Mises and I’m not sure I’ve fully understood your critique. Would it be fair to compare your criticism to modern science’s correction of the Greeks? I’m referring to the definition of modern science as inductive reasoning based on observation (empiricism) in contrast to the Greeks’ deduction based on self-evident truth.…
Thoughts on RamzPaul’s Guide to the Dark Enlightenment
[R]AMZPAUL’S POINTS (See Video: https://gloria.tv/media/7TcJehsj2GJ_ 1) The term Counter-Enlightenment was taken already. But the Dark Enlightenment is a counter-enlightenment movement. The Dark Enlightenment. (I disagree with conflating the dark ages and the middle ages. Western civic society is largely the result of the late middle ages, not dark ages.) 2) The Cathedral includes the Academy,…
The Destroyers of Truth and Trust
—“That’s where the Politically Correct -shaming comes in. Making sure those that are not susceptible to lies are still brought under control by fear of social ostracism, loss of loved ones, deprivation of income and so on. The [progressives] are bastards, make even acknowledging the truth very expensive. “— James Santagata [T]hey destroy truth to…
The Purpose of the Technologies of Truth and Falsehood.
[T]he purpose of that technology that we call ‘Truth’ is largely one of persuasion. The purpose of that technology we call ‘falsehood’ is largely the prevention of persuasion by imaginary, erroneous, biased, wishful, or deceitful means. In any scale beyond the directly perceivable – meaning beyond no more than 150 people – we cannot rely…
The Battle We Face Today: Non-Parasitic Production of Commons
(important piece) [I] know I’m not the first person to say this, but it’s pretty clear that Russia is not only the ultimate expression of postmodernism (lying), but that it evolved to this state by reforming jewish strategy, philosophy, and law: destroy the trust of the outsiders in order to create demand for authority and…
Apriori and Rational vs Empirical and Operational
—“Anything that can be shown apriori can be demonstrated or translated empirically with higher confidence but not everything that is empirical can be demonstrated apriori.”— Ayelam Valentine Agaliba
The Limits of Intelligence and the Challenge of Error
(life’s wisdom) [A]t some point, it seems that greater intelligence is less influential than lack of wishful thinking, lack of accumulated error, accumulating knowledge, the time you invest in problem-solving, and choosing a narrow field of inquiry. We believe true things, but largely we believe partly true things, some what true things and false things.…
The Purpose of Aristocracy: Parenting Man
ARISTOCRACY (PATRIARCHY) IS A CRITICAL RESPONSIBILTY: WE SET LIMITS. WE DON’T ENGAGE IN ADVOCACY. WE PRODUCE THE FIRST COMMONS: THE REQUIREMENT FOR PRODUCTIVE COOPERATION. [O]ur function is to incrementally but consistently evolve our people (and prevent their devolution) by preventing parasitism, and forcing productive cooperation. We force the development of markets for good and services…
