Property Absolutism is Objectively Immoral
(important) [P]roperty-Absolutism violates the truth test of Full Accounting under Testimonialism; whereas the Non-Imposition of Costs does not. As such Property-Absolutism in Cosmopolitan Libertinism is a falsehood: a deceit for the purposes of theft, that forces retaliation, and violates the prohibition on the imposition of costs that makes rational cooperation preferable to predation. Curt Doolittle…
Property Is Not An Absolute. But The Imposition Of Costs Is.
(important concept) (learning propertariansm) [T]he informational content of Property Rights is less than the informational content of the Prohibition on the Imposition of Costs Upon the Property-en-toto of Others. Property Rights are not an epistemological or decidable absolute in Propertarianism, but the positive assertion of the negative prohibition of the imposition of costs. One possesses…
Thoughts on Religious Reformation
[C]hristianity: the gradual expiration of impulsive hatred and its replacement with rational justice. QUESTION: What if the New Testament was our Old Testament and the ‘New’ the Western ethical cannon?

Q: “How Do I Learn Philosophy”
(really good piece) [Q]: “CURT, HOW DO I LEARN PHILOSOPHY?” A: WELL THAT REQUIRES DEFINING PHILOSOPHY AND CHOOSING WHAT YOU WANT TO LEARN FROM IT. QUESTION —“Hey curt, since you mentioned newbies. If an individual was beginning planning a self taught curriculum in philosophy, what would you recommend for sources? And does eastern philosophy like…
A Catalogue of Lies
Knowledge: Knowing what’s tragic about our current postmodern era, is not the same as knowing what was exceptional about the the modern, medieval, and ancient eras. The Incremental Suppression of Predation: Requires Property-en-toto, The Common law, Rule of Law, Universal Standing in matters of the commons, and an independent and professional Judiciary. Rule of Law: Governments cannot make…
The Great Error, And The Great Lie To Compensate For It.
(important piece) (solutions) (historical context) [A]merica was designed to restore and preserve the Anglo Saxon rights of Englishman, for Englishman and the occasional Scot.

Law: Genetic Pacification: The Problem of Retaliation.
[I] think that anyone with knowledge of the intellectual history of law is keenly aware of the churchâs problem of breaking up the large family holdings, and the lawâs problem of preventing retaliation. What I think has proven difficult for most people in the conservative and certainly in the libertarian movements, is the recognition that…
Yes, You Can Use Violence To Create Peace
ââYou canât bomb people into peaceââ [A]rguably false. The great âpeacesâ have all been the result of those empires possessing and exercising disproportionate power over trade routes, and in doing so creating single commercial zones, so that all competition is forced into the market for goods and services, and all political and military competition is…
Aristocracy (Advocacy), Not Racism (Criticism)
[R]ace debate is not helpful to anyone. Aristocracy is. Culling your herd (tribe) will produce a universal aristocracy regardless of race. We, the Chinese and the European Jews have been the best at culling our herds. The other civilizations simply haven’t been successful at culling their tribes. I don’t see differences in races of homo-sapiens…

Q&A: Revolution. Will it Result in the ‘Right’ People?
(worth repeating) QUESTION: —“How do we demand a return to an Aristocracy of the right people? This is a steep hill we’re climbing.”— ANSWER: [T]he right people are impossible to know. And even such, it’s not a matter of choosing the right people. It’s a matter of preventing all the WRONG people. And preventing the…
Welcome To The Revolution.
(important piece)(pinned) [I] do my work in public, like a medieval street merchant. You get to see the product being made. Including its successes and failures. Itâs been an interesting experience for me and those who follow me. But for new-comers, my work is radical. Trying to follow or understand it is non-trivial. I place…
The Conduct of a Contemporary Revolution
[T]HE CONDUCT OF A CONTEMPORARY REVOLUTION 1) Develop a political solution to issue as a demand, and a plan for orderly transition. 2) Raise the cost of the status quo until the status quo is intolerable.âŚ.a) inform the population of demands, and warn them to inventory goods.âŚ.b) begin civil disobedience and malicious compliance (raise costs of…
The Deceitful Use of “We”
(verbalism)(deception)(theft)(predation) [T]he misuse of the word “we” imposes costs upon others, since it is a form of deception that is to distract us from actions of predation and theft. Most frequently, the deceptive use of the word “we” is employed in the political sphere, in the west, is to further violate property en toto under the…
Our Inescapable Cultural Biases
THE PERSISTENCE OF ENLIGHTENMENT CULTURAL BIAS IN PHILOSOPHY (anarchism, neo-reaction, testimonialism) [C]urtis Yarvin kinda did the Jewish thing: rhetorically loaded criticism (gossip). Hans Hoppe kinda did the German thing: rational justification of moral priors. Doolittle (thatâs me), I kinda did the Anglo thing: science and law. ââYour life is the sum of a remainder of an…
Classical Contractualism and Rule of Law
(law) (definitions) (learning propertariansim) [O]liver Wendel Holms really screwed American and anglo law. The more I study American history the more obvious it becomes that without the many nearby competitors we had faced as Europeans in Europe, that the new continent provided an excuse for the conquerors to take license with the law given the…
