A Critique of Philosophy
A CRITIQUE OF PHILOSOPHY: AN ANALYSIS OF IDENTITY AS AN EXAMPLE OF THE PROBLEMS OF RATIONAL PHILOSOPHY VS EMPIRICAL SCIENCE AND TESTIMONIALISM (very juicy good stuff in this post) We demonstrate that we consider our lives our property (we retaliate gainst loss of monopoly control over them). We demonstrate that we consider our bodies our…
Propertarianism for the Practical
By William Butchman —“My chief interest in Propertarianism is practical. I want to know the truth so that I can use it to help my people. I am not interested in the truth outside of my genetic self interest. I am not a good man attempting to do good in the universe. I am a…
Overview of Propertarianism’s Main Themes
OVERVIEW OF PROPERTARIANISM’S MAIN THEMES Quick Note Turned into a Post. If you watch (1) the intertemporal division of perception, (2) the intercultural division of perception (circumpolar people), and (3) listen to this podcast (civilizational strategies); And if you catch that consistently across the personal, interpersonal, national, and civilizational strategies, that I CONSISTENTLY try to…
Spectrum: Signals of Belief Claims
THE SPECTRUM OF SIGNALS OF BELIEF CLAIMS. We’ve been discussing this in my corner of the universe, and I tend to work with the following terminological sequence: Faith = recognition that you’re position is indefensible, but you report that you hold some position. Belief = a ‘signal’ in the report that you might decide in…
Yes. We Domesticated Ourselves. We’re Just Another Animal.
IT”S NOT LIKE I”M GONNA WIN A POPULARITY CONTEST FOR THIS LITTLE BIT OF TRUTH. You know, it’s not like if I walk around telling people ‘Well, we learned how to herd females, and domesticate one another so that we could cooperate more effectively, and that there isn’t any difference between now and then other…
Tips On Writing Propertarian Arguments
USE ACTIVE VOICE 1) Learn one ‘aggressive’ or ‘honest’ technique: “Active Voice not Passive Voice” ‘John threw the ball’ not ‘the ball was thrown by john’. Read “passive voice” on the internet. This is where you’re having trouble with operational language. USE FINANCIAL AND CRIMINAL, NOT EXPERIENTIAL AND MORAL TERMINOLOGY 2) make sure any MORAL…
State Healthcare is Not A Problem Unless It’s A Monopoly
Aug 24, 2016 11:35am The problem is MONOPOLY healthcare. As long as private care and hospitals are available, and the wealthy are paying for time and customer service, they will continue to pay for research and development, and the STATE healthcare can provide commodity services. The problem is not that this arrangement wouldn’t provide better…
Poetry and Rhyme As Institutions of Normative Law
Aug 24, 2016 11:41am (interesting idea) There is a reason why we want to restore BOTH truthfulness AND Poetry with Rhyme: Just as our ancient ancestors chose our intellectual (druidic / historian) leadership by their abilities to remember, our more recent intellectual leadership was sorted out by their use of poetry and meter. So if…
There Is No Reason To Tolerate Burgher (Bourgeoise) Interference in Political Orders
Let’s compare Soros’ activism, with PPPP’s activism against Gawker. The courts can be, if we repair the constitution, a method by which the wealthy can police what the politicians choose not to. This is a good. We have juridical defense in these cases. But why can we not sue Soros for corruption by circumventing the…
Bourgeoise? No. Logistics of War
Aug 24, 2016 12:11pm BOURGEOISE? NO – LOGISTICS OF WAR I get accused of bourgeoise values all the time, and I always think it’s childish, or ignorant. Generals conduct strategy and that means logistics. The last mile, for today, may depend on the character of men. But all the miles behind them, and all the…
Absent Juridical Defense, We Must Return To Violence.
As Sovereign men we create juridical defense to keep peace among equals. We appeal to the MARKET OF PEERS (JURY) FOR resolution of the disputes. Thus submitting to the peers, and asking for equal treatment as is due all peers: insurance against the imposition of costs. But if we lack juridical defense, or are prevented…
Forcing People To Come To The Table To Trade
Aug 24, 2016 1:01pm If you don’t understand what I’m doing, then, of course you’ll make the mistake of classifying me as right wing fascist – but it’s not true at all. Like my predecessors in sovereignty under judge-discovered, common, natural law, I am trying to limit people to fully informed, productive, voluntary exchanges, free…
Thoughts On The Emerging New Right
Aug 24, 2016 2:06pm CENTRAL ARGUMENTS 1) We can no longer hold any belief that we can integrate the postwar generations into the ‘aristocracy of everyone’ including the absolute nuclear family, individual accountability, the civic society, and rule of law. Where we were not defeated ideologically, despite the monopoly conversion of the academy, media, and…
Q&A: Economic Orders
Aug 24, 2016 2:14pm Q&A: MR DOOLITTLE: QUESTION ABOUT ECONOMIC ORDERS —“Can you please elaborate on this “Once cheap labor stops, and marginal differences in knowledge are exhausted, what remains is a nation’s ability to dynamically reorganize production in real time, and to competitively innovate in real time.” Are you saying that productivity and innovation…
Q&A: Social Capital In Europe?
Aug 24, 2016 2:23pm —“Would you also say, sir, that Europe’s Scientific and industrial Revolutions were the result of this high trust/social capital, as opposed to the prevailing narrative that colonialism = industrial/scientific revolution? It’s always been a theory of mine that social capital is what allowed Europe and Western Civilization to accelerate ahead of…
Moral Language As Attempted Fraud?
Aug 24, 2016 6:04pm —“CURT. YOU DON”T KNOW WHAT HUMAN DIGNITY MEANS? SAY IT ISN”T SO!!!!”— (Hmmm…. I don’t know what human dignity means, but I know what life, body, movement, property, and contract mean. As far as I know, one of the central failings of Islam is the requirement for respect without having yet…
Belief is Quantifiable, But Justification Isn’t
IS BELIEF QUANTIFIABLE? YES BUT JUSTIFICATION ISN”T. Belief is already quantifiable by the degree of risk you are willing to take to demonstrate it. It’s not justifiable, but it’s measurable. In most cases, belief is indistinguishable from self-signaling, and other-signalling, and signal vs risk explains the difference between reported belief, and demonstrated belief. In other…
Informational Content in Operationalism vs Empiricism
Aug 25, 2016 8:02am There is as great a difference in informational content and therefore truth (decidability), between Operationalism and Empiricism, as there was between empiricism and reason, and between reason, and storytelling. This is why, in the future, people will rely on Propertarianism and Testimonialism over ‘mere’ empiricism, the same way we empiricists rely…
Classical Liberal Conservative Libertarian
I AM A CONTRACTUALIST: A CLASSICAL LIBERAL CONSERVATIVE LIBERTARIAN. If you want to classify me, I am a contractualist. This means a classical liberal, libertarian. I am conservative because I’m an empiricist. And I am a Nationalist because I’m from a germanic, martial class by intuition, and because as an empiricist I understand the superior…
Another Damning Criticism of Philosophy
ANOTHER DAMNING CRITICISM OF PHILOSOPHY I am pretty convinced that the subjective experiential analysis and narration in philosophy is as pseudoscientific as subjective, reported, and deductive projection in psychology. Psychology reformed, by adopting operational language, (they use the term operationalism) because during the 70’s and 80’s the discipline was increasingly cast as a pseudoscience, and…
Restoring Civic Organizations
RESTORING THE CIVIC ORGANIZATIONS PRIOR TO THE ATTEMPT TO INDUSTRIALIZE A MONOPOLY OF THE NUCLEAR FAMILY. We need to force the creation of (a) monasteries (education and caretaking) in the ‘scientific’ sense, and (b) regiments (emergency and defense), and (c) civic dormitories (commons construction and maintenance). These places need to provide room and board to…
Searching Other’s Words While Listening
Some people ask if they approve Some people ask if it’s good. Some people ask if it’s true. Some people ask if it’s fraud. A prosecutor tests first for fraud. A scientist tests first for truth. A philosopher tests first for good. A common man tests first for his approval. Everyone tests whether he understands.…
We Didn’t Domesticate the R’s (Enough). But We Can.
WE DIDN’T DOMESTICATE THE R-SELECTORS. BUT WE CAN. Well, I’m not anti-genetics, I’m anti-falsehood, anti-deception, and anti-dysgenia. But when I tell people that “all Jews are female” J mean to suggest that just as we western men are the intellectual advocates of scientific k-selection, jews are the intellectual advocates of the pseudoscientific r-selection. And that…
Public Speech As Risky Behavior
WORDS AND IDEAS AS RISKY BEHAVIOR I understand. Some people want to experiment with physical risk, some with sexual risk, some with chemical risk, and some of us with verbal risk. In other words, we all want to obtain stimuli from exploring new sensations with the method of sensory acquisition that’s most rewarding for us.…
It’s The Philosophy of Time, Silly. Not Money.
The philosophy of Money is kind of stupid really. Money stores time. It’s time that’s the first object of construction in cooperation. Everything else in cooperation evolves from the problem of time. Any philosophical understanding of Money is subject to the philosophy of TIME
