Is The Problem Really Democracy? Here Is Your Answer.
The problem is not DEMOCRACY (the choice of leadership) but the combination of: 1) DISCRETIONARY RULE, where leaders can legislate (issue commands) anything that the public will allow them to, rather than RULE OF LAW, under NATURAL LAW, where (like our trial-run original constitution) they can only construct otherwise legal contracts between members of the…
Prosecutor vs Educator – But Otherwise Its The Same Message
Stephan Molyneux won’t engage me. It’s a loss for the movement really. The contrast would be brilliant. SECRET: I might be an effete, but I know who I am marketing to: the same as Trump-the people willing to fight. Stephan argues MORAL CHOICE, and I argue LEGAL LIMITS. His Golden rule and my Silver.…
The Racist Paul Krugman – Wishing White People Dead Even Sooner
(profound) (read) (share) —“Searching for economic and cultural reasons why middle-aged white Americans are dying sooner.”— Paul Krugman Because you destroyed the family – intentionally, through policy that favored moving labor to capital instead of capital to labor? Because you destroyed the family by ideologically mobilizing women in the workforce, rather than ending their prohibition on…

The Continental Marriage is Better
Male-Female Relationship lessons learned from Ukraine. 1 – Men are barely tamed gorillas. Love them. Feed them. F– them. If necessary dress them. 2 – Women are incomprehensible. Their job is to love. Love them. Supply them. Make them feel safe. 3 – No talk of equality or how we should behave. No trying to…
Law
Nov 11, 2016 10:38pm Humans create commands, legislation, and regulations. Laws, both physical and natural (cooperation), we can only discover. We cannot any more create a law of cooperation (natural law) than we can a law of nature (physical laws). The only difference between physical laws and natural laws is that since we have memories,…
The Reformation of Education
Roughly speaking we spend 10K per student per year, which varies from a low of 7k in Utah to a high of 20k in NY, plus an additional 2k per student at the federal level’s department of education. I don’t know the state overhead numbers. As far as I can tell there is zero value…

Alt-Right Overplaying Its Hand, and The Horror of the Left.
THE ALT RIGHT WILL (IS) OVERPLAY ITS HAND Tipping a scale is not anchoring the pan. You cannot win a vote by margin and hold a field. They have shock, anger, loss of confidence. You want what you believe is favorable stability. But you need to create favorable chaos. The point is not to win…
Peter Boettke On The Reveal: Partisan Cheerleaders Not Social Critics
—“Observation — journalists and other intellectuals freaking out over the outcome of the election reveal that they were never really “students” of society, or even “social critics”, but were instead partisan cheerleaders. Also, it appears that many are completely incapable of asking themselves whether it might be possible that the consensus of the progressive…
Media-Academia Is To Civilizational Capital, As Central Banks Are To Industrial Capital.
(by Sock ‘Frank Leibowitz’ ) Counterfeit information, derails calculation in all measures of temporality (immediate, medium term, civilizational, evolutionary). Counterfeit money, which is a special case of information forgery, derails catallatic calculation. Counterfeit theories derail civilizational calculation. Media-academia is to civilizational capital, what central banks are to industrial capital.

The Limits of Markets: Kin.
Markets either facilitate our families, tribes, and nations, or they prey upon our families tribes and nations. Markets and the consumption they provide us, do not create limitless goods. At some point we are no longer advancing our kin, but instead, preventing a future for them. There is no incentive for good families to cooperate…
Harsh Words for Dreamers
Nov 15, 2016 8:09am by James Augustus Berens —“There is a belief popular amongst people who’ve never accomplished anything in life, the idea that one must merely dream or think of what he wants, which is almost always material in nature, and as if by some act of divine will his subjective wants and desires…
The Purpose Of The Electoral College – And The End of the Empire
THE PURPOSE OF THE ELECTORAL COLLEGE – AND THE FUTURE IS THE END OF THE EMPIRE. The purpose of the electoral college is to prevent immigrant and import/export cities that live in relative luxury at low cost of commons and opportunity, from imposing costs upon those lacking those luxuries in material, normative, and institutional means.…
Myth, Ritual and Maturity, vs Supernatural, Ritual, and Infantilization
WHY IS RELIGION – MEANING MYTH AND RITUAL – NECESSARY? —“Why is mythology and ritual necessary?”—Doug Decidability, opportunity costs and transaction costs. —“??????”—Doug We coordinate our actions a little bit by clear deliberate choices. But mostly we cooperate by many thousands of tie-breakers that we default to loose theories of the ‘good’: narratives. In other…
We Cannot Surrender Our Civilization To the Infantilized Generation
WILL YOU LEAVE THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY, AND THE SACRIFICES AND LABORS OF YOUR ANCESTORS, TO THE INFANTILIZED? WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE INFANTILIZED GENERATION? So what do we do with a generation that has no productive market value, was intentionally infantilized, and has nothing to offer but virtue signalling by giving away via the…
The Future Is A Choice: Choose to Rule
THE FUTURE IS JUST A CHOICE. RETURN TO OUR MAJOR INDUSTRY: RULE. We could take a very different perspective: “They are our minorities. They are our Africans, our Jews, our Caribbeans, our Mestizos. We have paid a high price for them. Under the right circumstances they make excellent wage labor. All we must do is…
Religion may be necessary, but not lies.
Nov 15, 2016 10:40am Religion is a NECESSARY institution for the provision of decidability by narrative, which is the loosest theoretical structure we currently know how to construct. The question is whether we claim religious narratives are true(history), are myths(parables), or are supernatural(falsehoods). History and Myths are enough without resorting to lies.
Start Negotiation From ‘We Prefer War’.
START THE NEGOTIATION FROM THE STANDPOINT OF PREFERRING WARFARE Always make sure the opposition understands the choices that you prefer are those that are very undesirable to them. Never enter a negotiation with a presumption of achieving a rational compromise. Instead set the terms of your negotiation at the limits of your preference. Our current…
Markets Preserve Asymmetry of Merit, and Remove Asymmetries of Non.
Markets are simply the only means of preserving asymmetry and removing asymmetry of power and information. Courts are the only means of preserving asymmetry of warranty of performance. I don’t think markets are subordinate to hierarchy in any sense other than I think that they themselves prohibit hierarchy by permitting the meritocratic rise and fall…
Some Aphorisms
Unarmed, lacking exit, with four hours of electricity, one day of water, and five days of food. Who do you think is in control? Immigrant cities are excellent plantations for wage and tax slavery. Unfortunately, they don’t understand that they took the bait. There is a difference between a city (market) and an immigrant city…
Secession Requires Visualization
Nov 15, 2016 1:19pm the problem with succession is insufficient planning. people need to visualize a future in which they have greater options. secession will provide the greatest bounty of opportunity since the lousiana purchase let loose the hordes and collapsed the european economy. if we combined secession with testimonialism (requirement for truthful speech) it…
