Propertarian Metaphysics
(from reddit) [W]e must act to acquire. Actions exist. We require an epistemology for acting. We must cooperate. We require an epistemology for cooperation. If we cannot act or testify in some context then for us it does not exist for the purpose of our existence. If we can act or testify in some context…
On Measured IQ vs Demonstrated Intelligence
http://iqpersonalitygenius.blogspot.com/…/do-you-really-und… [B]ruce, Demonstrated intelligence is a subject I work quite hard on so I think I might try to change your mind a bit, by at the very least giving you a different framework and language for approaching it. DEMONSTRATED INTELLIGENCE I think I understand the difference between DEMONSTRATED intelligence, and the aggregate and commensurable…
Haidt’s Relevance to Politics and Law
THE RELEVANCE OF HAIDT’S WORK TO POLITICS AND LAW ( RE: http://lesswrong.com/…/what_is_moral_foundation_theory_goo…/ ) [I]’ve written quite a bit about Haidt in my work on Propertarianism. Perhaps I can move the discussion out of the psychological and often pseudoscientific (preferential experience) and into the legal and often scientific (necessary cooperation) 1) Haidt’s Moral foundations are reducible…
Christian Love and Propertarianism
[I]f you haven’t noticed, I’ve bought the love thing hook line and sinker. I tell other men I love them on a daily basis. And it’s infectious. We don’t support each other enough. Our culture tells us to be stalwart stoic warriors in the germanic tradition. But we no longer have normative means of obtaining…
The Cost of Teaching Truth
[T]HE OBVERSE The day before yesterday, I met a very interesting fellow, who though a decade older, and part of the 60/70s generation (Hippies) instead of the 70’s/80’s generation (Yuppies); also of English extraction (of the taller kind), obviously someone in the same iq range; he, like many musicians was a bohemian, author of some…
Full Spectrum Incremental Pacification
Full Spectrum of Pacification: 1 – Reproductive limitation. 2 – Incremental Suppression. 3 – Physical Removal. 4 – Genetic Pacification (Hanging). 5 – Culling (Casualties).
Eli and Curt on Methodological Individualism
Eli Harman Methodological individualism: individuals form groups. Curt Doolittle Individuals cooperate in groups because cooperation is the most scarce and most valuable resource, so disproportionately rewarding that we spent millennia trying to find anything even close to it – and without it we can rarely survive.
Q&A: Curt Can You Give Me Simple Answers?
—“So how does one define morality in this view [Propertarianism]? What is its foundation?”— At a minimum, non-impositions of costs upon property-en-toto, and at the median a prohibition on free riding, and at the maximum the requirement for mutual insurance, thus preserving the incentive to cooperate and gain the disproportionate rewards of cooperating all along…
The State of NRx and its Relation to Propertarianism
AN ANALYSIS OF THE STATE OF NRx AND ITS RELATION TO PROPERTARIANISM (from elsewhere) RE: https://thespiritualsun.wordpress.com/2015/08/04/a-catalog-of-unforced-errors/ [G]reat post. I’ve been looking for a way to riff off of someone else’s work. This is a good opportunity. Sorry if this is a bit long. I just went through the points and captured my thoughts as I went…
Should We Stop ‘Dumb’ People from Voting?
[T]he Monarchy (Hereditary self interest), The Nobility (Military Men Who Defend Territory), The Bourgeoisie/House (Business and Finance who produce Goods and Services), The Church/Proletarians (Dependents who require support). If each of these houses exists, those with related interests can vote for the advocacy of their interests (cultural persistence, military service and security, money and property,…
Not So Fast. They Buy Our Stuff, But Remain Unpacified.
[U]nfortunately, no other culture, even the catholic states, approaches protestant high trust (and therefore economic velocity). We have genetically pacified northern Europe aggressively for a millennium, practiced delayed reproduction an eugenic mating for just as long, and pacified through eugenic manorialism less so for millennia before that. http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2015/08/america_takes_o.html Cultures can adopt technology, but it has…
Economists Start To See The Virtue of Operationalism in Computer Science.
[M]athematics is a weakness not a strength in the absence of operations. Mathematical logic is dependent upon ‘independence of scale’. But it remains dependent upon existential possibility. And existential possibility is the test provided by operational definitions. (And yes, despite this bit of brevity I can defend that argument.) http://www.env-econ.net/2015/08/coding.html Something that is not well…
New Video: Circumpolar Civilization
[E]xplaining why we have failed to integrate Russians into western Civilization despite their membership in Christendom and their obvious similarities to Americans: trust. This is a rather deep video that demonstrates the distribution of trust from Chinese “delay and deceive” constant deception, to Russian/Muslim “honor in lying”, to German Truth and Duty, to British moral…
Q&A: Boosting our Spirits: Love Your Kin. Reproduce Your Kin. We Will Win.
—“Curt: Maybe I’m wrong; maybe I misread it; maybe you aren’t so in favor of the continuation of violent types as have come from my family,”— I am trying to RESTORE violence to political discourse. When I talk about genetic pacification I’m criticizing IMPULSIVITY not violence. I want men to be violent in the suppression…
Aristocracy A Better Evolutionary Strategy for Whom?
[A]RISTOCRACY IS A BETTER EVOLUTIONARY STRATEGY FOR EVERYONE WHO IS *NOT* A FREE RIDER OR PARASITE. Aristocracy suppresses free riding, opportunistic profiting from free riders, and conquest by free riders.
Next Videos On The Agenda
1) THE GREAT COMPROMISE: THE FAMILY (hopefully with female hosts) 2) CONTRA-FUKUYAMA – THE END OF HISTORY IS THE TRUTHFUL SOCIETY (OR AT LEAST THE NEXT STAGE OF IT) (the high trust society, the private bureaus) 3) THEN: COMPARISON OF LEGAL SYSTEMS LEADING TO THE STRICT LOGICAL CONSTRUCTION OF LAW AND LEGISLATIVE CONTRACT (PROOFS) (Law…
Ethnocentrism Is Superior to Humanitarianism at Suppressing Free Riders
—“Ethnocentrism beats humanitarianism because ethnocentrics do a better job at suppressing selfish free riders. If an ethnocentric group comes across a group riddled with selfish individuals, they’ll refuse to cooperate. Over time, thanks to the ethnos’ mutual cooperation and the selfish group’s total refusal to even help themselves out, ethnos will reproduce faster than the…
The Second Enlightenment
[W]e had to restore science(truth) in order to end more than a thousand years of levantine mysticism. We are now going to have to restore science (truth) in order to end more than a century of levantine pseudoscience. Liars love their lies. But we can defeat them, with Truth. Liberty in our lifetimes.
Q&A: Are There Limits To Western Evolutionary Strategy?
—“Curt, you’ve been hinting that you think that high trust, low ethnocentrism is not an evolutionary strategy superior in every regard.”— [T]his is an interesting question because like supply-demand curves, no evolutionary strategy is beneficial under all conditions – other than rate of adaptation. Humans are special in our rate of adaptation because not only…
(Interview Brief)
INTERVIEW BRIEF PURPOSE OF THIS DOCUMENT: In Propertarian Institute interviews, we are just having a video of two people having a conversation. It does not have to be structured. The purpose of this document is for you to have a general idea of what I might talk about so ideas are not new to you…
Why Do We Want Non-Imposition of Costs Against Demonstrated Property?
[B]ecause in the libertine vision of man, we just ‘move on’ after we have been imposed upon by some sort of cheating. But this is not true. The strong prefer, and enjoy conquest, enslavement, rape, pillaging. It eliminates competitors quickly and permanently. So cooperation must be preferable to conquest. Why shouldn’t I kill a rothbardian…
I’m Just An Intellectual Arms Dealer…
[I]’m just an intellectual arms manufacturer. I give a lot of product demos. But if you want a revolution, you need to learn to use those weapons and go to war with them. 😉
Overturning the NAP Fallacy By Explicitly Stating NAP/IVP and NAP/PT
[N]AP does not make a legal framework btw. And pretty much all libertarian authors have stated so. Rothbardian Low trust (Ghetto) Ethics: Non aggression against intersubjectively verifiable property. (permits blackmail etc), does not preserve the incentive for cooperation. Aristocratic High trust (warrior) Ethics: Non aggression against property-en-toto, for the total preservation of cooperation. NAP/IVP (Rothbardian…
Yes, But **WHICH** Non-Aggression Principle?
[N]on Aggression, or the Non Aggression Principle (NAP), is an incomplete concept, and possibly an intentionally incomplete concept, and alone it is an untestable and therefore unscientific) statement. Without stating what one is prohibited from aggressing against, non aggression is a half truth, using a half statement, that hacks western altruism. Its an act of…
Why Do We Need a Monopoly Form of Commons? We don’t.
[A]ll we need is monopoly Rule. Defense (military), Rule (rule of law), Government (market production of commons), Market (market production of goods and services). Why, instead of debating over whether to institute a universal socialist(consumptive), libertarian(productive), or conservative(accumulative), social(normative), economic(productive), and political(commons) order, do we not institute universal rule of law affirming property-en-toto, and let…
