Why Is Religion – Meaning Myth And Ritual – Necessary?
—“Why are 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 words, religions provide means by which, in those many thousands of choices,…

You Want Me To Say Something Both Offensive And True?
You want me to say something offensive? Ok. How’s this: what’s a greater crime? The holocaust (the forcible deportation to of a gypsies, jews, and other non-conformists) or the inventions of the infantilizing lies of the Abrahamic religions and Cosmopolitan pseudoscience? (Boaz, Marx, Freud, Cantor, Mises, Adorno+Co, Rothbard/Rand, Straussian Neo-Conservatism, Feminism, Postmodernism, and “Political Correctness”?)…
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 political process what they did nothing to obtain?

The interesting question not discussed is that because we humans make use of law, religion, and market, but we choose a dominant bias…
Democracy, Population Density, and Commons
As a general rule, roughly doubling population density gains a 15% increase in both all goods and all bads. Why? Because the opportunity cost decreases. That should be pretty obvious. But now, let’s take a look at what happens to Commons: normative, institutional, and physical. They get cheaper. But they also get less valuable. Becuase…
The ‘Talk’: Why We Are Stooping to the Left’s Level
In person i am a gentleman. But I learned a lot from Hayek’s pristine, gentlemanly, german failure with Keynes: never give the enemy an inch out of grace. We aren’t Victorians. This is a street fight. A brawl. And I use broken bottles, brass knuckles, clubs, knives, guns, and every other weapon I can get…
