The Source of Bliss
As far as I know feelings of intellectual bliss are caused by the pack response combined with obviating the labor of reason. Comfort food, comfort of home, comfort of surrendering to the will of the pack. Now, there are many kinds of feelings of bliss, as well as pleasure and joy. Some of them are…
Refuting Some Criticism
Sep 06, 2016 9:34am CRITICISM FROM ERIC —“Your first principles so far are nothing more than presuppositions and you have a lot of actual philosophical work to do if you are going to persuade deep thinkers, you can brush that aside by saying you’ve done the work and it’s in some writing that I haven’t…
The Purpose of Emotions. Consequence Not Cause.
We seek emotions because we evolved those emotions for very obvious reasons: rewards. What is it that we are seeking a reward for? What change in state or preservation of state do we seek to achieve and for what reason? Emotions are only rewards and punishments. What are we rewarded and punished for by monopoly…
Necessities, Not Preferences
Sep 06, 2016 11:32am Life, liberty, and property are necessary for our extension of perception and the choice of actions, across nature, competition, ignorance, time and space – without which we cannot defeat the forces of nature, competition, ignorance, time, and space.

We Imposed Truth On An Unwilling World
Aryanism -> Aristocracy -> Christanity -> Puritanism -> Imperialsm -> American Hegemonialism -> …..???? Do we evolve Aryanism once again, and do we return to our ancient ‘industry’ of domesticating and transcending man? Or do we fall into another dark age? Or do we disappear from the earth? No other civilization has done this. It…
Q&a: Justly Acquired Property
—“So I guess my real question is this: do you draw a distinction between justly acquired property and unjustly acquired property? If not, aren’t you just making a convoluted defense of the “might makes right” argument?”— NATHANIEL I’m going to try to answer two questions. (a) might-makes-right (b) justly acquired property (a) might does not…
Demarcation between Aristocratic Egalitarianism (Male Insurance) and Pathological Altruism (Female Insurance)
Curt Doolittle I tend to view western aristocratic egalitarianism as demanding respect for property in exchange for the franchise of Liberty. David Mondrus “aristocratic egalitarianism” vs “pathological altruism”. The demand of respect for property in exchange for liberty is the difference. Curt Doolittle Let me think about that because it is insightful. Hmmm. Is that…
The Competition Between Truth And Lies
EUGENIC (truth) vs DYSGENIC (lies) Reasonable Philosophy Rational Philosophy Analytic Philosophy Scientific (Operational) Philosophy Tradition and Mysticism Theological Philosophy Pseudoscience and Postmodernism (What lie will they invent next?)

But they didn’t solve the problem of truth,…
Every Tribe Can Transcend Under Aristocracy

Sep 17, 2016 1:43pm So here is the central issue: ++Voluntary exchange++ vs –Decidability by law– ++Positive epistemology++ vs –negative epistemology– So rather than reason how we might do something as individual thinkers I ask HOW CAN WE CALCULATE SOMETHING by voluntary exchanges within the constraints of natural law. In other words, how do we…
We Evolve A Reductions in Frictions and Costs
Just as we evolve property from common to private; Just as we evolve the suppression of parasitism from criminal, to fraudulent, to free riding, to conspiratorial, to warfare; Just as we evolve argument from mysticism to reason, to rationalism, to empiricism, to testimonialism; We also evolve truth from justificationary, to moral, to legal, to scientific,…

Sep 17, 2016 5:54pm ( edited by William L. Benge ) THE NEXT GREAT LEAP 🙂 “The next great leap in human civilization is not technology. it’s morality and law: truth telling. It will be as great a leap as science has been.” THE BAD AND THE UGLY — BUT NOT THE GOOD “And likewise…

How Is Propertarianism Not Another Fantasy?
—“So Curt. How is this not a new Rothbardian ideal fantasy?

Is Bigamy A ‘Hangable Offense’?
—“You speak from time to time of hanging malcontents, and bigamy in England was originally a capital crime. Could I be hung for bigamy?”— I would love to say yes just for fun. But bigamy is not a violation of natural law, but of public contract for the production of a commons. —“But if consenting adults…
The Law Of Nature Is The Law Of God.
It is far harder to give moral men a license to kill than to avoid killing. But once possessed of that license and in the absence of fear of retaliation by his peers, and with the opportunity of accolades and status from his peers, the moral man is an unstoppable warrior. I have been endeavoring…

I go by the British definition” — Dawid Wella The common definition is: —“the social group between the upper(not working) and working (laboring) classes, including professional and business workers and their families(managerial).”— I would use: ***”People who calculate, organize, manage, production, distribution, and trade.”*** Because I think…

Aug 22, 2016 9:36am (important piece) (synthesizing) (readable) —“Constructionism involves the creation of a product to show learning. It is believed by constructivists that representations of physical and biological reality, including race, sexuality, and gender, as well as tables, chairs and atoms are socially constructed.

When We Say “Scientific” What Operations Are We Referring To?
WHEN WE SAY “SCIENTIFIC” WHAT OPERATIONS ARE WE REFERRING TO? (important) (scientific method) (informational commons) It’s not the subject matter, nor the method of inquiry, nor the method of hypothesizing that’s classifiably scientific or that places any limits on what we call scientific investigation.

Soros v Hayek and Why.
Aug 22, 2016 2:48pm SOROS V HAYEK, AND WHY When where Soros disagrees with Hayek he relies on the criticism of the rational actor hypothesis, saying that people do not in fact act this way. But here again we have Hayek as a social scientist seeking rule of law, versus Soros as a financier seeking…
