[M]AYBE IT’S NOT OBVIOUS: PROPERTARIANISM IS FOR THE PROSECUTION: THE SHERIFF, THE KNIGHT, THE JUDGE It’s not belief. It’s not a religion. It’s law. A law for the prosecution of those who have engineered deceptions by which to confiscate our private and common property by appealing to our altruistic morality. Every Man A Sheriff, Every…

[T]he moral man is skeptical. If you come at me with questions it would be the actions of a moral man. But as a teacher of others and a philosopher myself I grasp that it is quite difficult to ask questions when you do not know what to ask. So the only option available to…

[W]e are coming with internet, radios, guns, molotovs, where our ancestors came with leaflets, guns, torches and nooses; and their ancestors came with letters, pitchforks, torches, and knives; and their ancestors with word of mouth, spears, torches, and knives. We are coming. They know we are coming. But we are legion.

[D]rones Hovering 1) We probably need to maintain a right of Transitus (transit) but not a right of Observo(observation) or Usus (use) for drones. I can’t see how to get around this. That means that you must have the ability to navigate but not the ability to observe. (this is pretty easy. we put blinders…

[W]e spend a lot of time on logical fallacies, which assume mere error on the part of one’s opponent. We have begun to spend a lot of time on Cognitive Biases which affect one’s opponent. But both of these disciplines assume that the other party errs. When the problem of modern era, is not error…

[W]ell, I am not sure we should unless we want to subsidize the production of more ideas and opinions than can be produced without subsidy. And the evidence is that we produce far more ideas and opinions than the market will bear. Propertarianism says the opposite: that you may not sell those ideas and opinions…

[I]t is not that one fails to comprehend it (accept its fallacies). It is that it is objectively evil in every dimension: One does not judge a product by its advertising but by it’s performance. One does not judge a religion by its narrative or claims, but by the status of its adherents. One does…

[W]ithout the family we create great incentive for defectors, and we increase vastly the cost of individual housing, insurance, and sustenance and survival, That’s all. Marriage makes people wealthier by lowering costs, and creating a higher barrier to reproduction that prevents the underclasses from reproductive parasitism. So it is less important that our BEST breed…

[T]he need for interpretation is evidence of the fallacy of a statement. —” find it very hard to believe that you will enable you to quickly and accurately interpret the Qu’ran when there appears to be much disagreement even within adherents to the religion”— That’s because no amount of study will achieve anything other than…

(reposted) [Y]ou can claim you have done sufficient due diligence to warrant your words against retribution. That is all you can claim. Otherwise you can speak to the air (yourself) but not to another. If you have done so you can err, or your information may be insufficient, or more information in the future may…

[N]ow, without protection all of their accumulated potential – what we call assets – from the imposition of costs, what do people DO? Not what do we WISH they did – because that is fantasy – but what do people do? They retaliate. That’s what they do. If they can’t retaliate they constrain their risk.…

(Via Francesco Principi) “The xenophobia expressed in environments with high pathogen severity creates barriers to intergroup cooperation. These barriers cause greater poverty in environments with increased pathogen severity, in addition to the direct effects of disease on the human capital that is essential to economic growth. Xenophobic groups in competition for resources are unwilling to…

[W]e have this tragic categorial bias in the west wherein we classify religions by their advertising rather than their content.

[I] think that love (noun) refers to the condition in which one’s happiness depends on another’s. And therefore to love (verb) must mean to act in a manner consistent with this condition prevailing. If we adopt these as our definitions, then it becomes obvious, upon cursory examination, that we can never accurately describe actual “love”…

—-“As if Jim could answer that without first RECOGNIZING the FACT of your question.”—- [T]his is an interesting example, so lets use it. You observe the text, determine the question, can make sense of it, and therefore determine it exists. This is a very simple statement. But the reason it is a fact is that…

(snippet of debate we can learn from) [I] almost always operate under the assumption that genes do the talking and that the rational mind needs assistance in overcoming the influence of accumulated cognitive bias in favor of one’s reproductive strategy. So I suspect you are just the usual victim of WISHFUL THINKING and need rescuing.…

[H]ere is the thing about Christianity: the extension of kinship love to non-kin and the extirpation of hatred from the human heart. Our people have lower sensitivity to (disgust for) out-groups anyway. But between our genetic bias as cold weather folk, christianity, chivalry, and the prohibition on cousin marriage, the west has evolved rapidly a…

RE: http://selfadoration.com/for-luke-williams-heres-a-com…/8123 —“or the aggressively-unreadable Doolittle.”—- You know, I want to say ‘ouch’ but, I have to just own it. lol. On the other hand have you read Hegel? Wittgenstein? Heidegger? Philosophy is a technical specialty like any niche technical discipline. The difference is that we are often trying to reorder existing human conceptual categories,…

(worth repeating) [R]emove all choice, so that only Liberty Remains, just as by removing all choice, only the market remains. “If we make it just as difficult to deceive, lie cheat, free ride and privatize as we have made it difficult to steal physical property, then liberty will result from it. Because all those things…

[T]he only meaningful notion of ‘right’ and ‘left’ that I can state existentially is k-selection (right/masculine ), vs r-selection (left/feminine-universal) since these are opposing strategies with libertarianism (voluntary cooperation) achievable as a compromise between the two strategies. (that is how I see we minority libertarians: providing a compromise between the genders through voluntary cooperation). As…
