Our Ascent Crushes Our Vanity
Copernican Revolution made us understand we were not the center of the universe. Darwinian revolution made us realize that we are a glorious accident. The exploration of greater and lesser space made us realize the universe is quite hostile to us. The Propertarian revolution has made me understand that our consciousness is a puppet for…
Did The Marxist/socialist-libertarian-neocons Give Us The Incentive To Finally Overcome Our Humility?
From one perspective, the Marxist-Socialists and the Ashkenazi Pseudoscientific Enlightenment combined with protestant feminists (less attractive women), catholics (the lower classes), blacks (the underclasses) created a successful series of revolts against the productive classes (military, legal, financial, entrepreneurial, agrarian), by co-opting media(selling consumer goods to all of their constituents), education (indoctrinating generations into the false…
A Future for the Mises Institute?
The Mises Institute would survive if and only if it transforms from advocacy of the pseudoscientific Ashkenazi enlightenment of Boaz, Marx, Cantor, Frankfurt, and Keynes, Mises and Rothbard, to the Scientific enlightenment of Hayek, Popper, Einstein, Darwin, Spencer, Pareto, Durkheim, and myself. It is one thing to say “all these men failed, and each brought…
The Best Way To Cull The Bottom Appears To Be To Leave Them Behind And Move Away
—“East Asians (Chinese, Japanese and Koreans) obtain the highest mean IQ at 105. Europeans follow with an IQ of 100. Some ways below these are the Inuit or Eskimos (IQ 91), South East Asians (IQ 87), Native American Indians (IQ 87), Pacific Islanders (IQ 85), and South Asians and North Africans (IQ 84). Well below…

The First Property Of Production Is Time. And Money Is Its Commensurable Store.
In the past ten years I have not been able to defeat the theory that money literally stores time ( saved by or spent in production ) and that our claim that it is a store of value is a mistaken subjective perception given the utility in accounting rather than an objective description of its causality.…
Devolve the Empire
My political agenda is to devolve the empire, to constrain any federal government to defense, insurer or last resort, and interstate property conflict, and to liberate as many states to experiment in as many ways possible, creating lots of opportunity for ‘people at the top’. Let a thousand nations bloom.
Honor Among Men Has No Color
Honor among men has no color. It may be true that at present, the probability varies with color. But no man is incapable of Honor It’s a matter of will, effort, and discipline. Strong men stand at the wall of war, invasion, and conversion. Strong men stand at the wall of violence, theft and fraud.…
Evolution Of A Condition Of Liberty: The Struggle From Discretionary To Non Discretionary To Market Rule.
(important piece) (consolidates concepts) Western Man struggles against discretionary (arbitrary) rule, in an effort to construct a condition of non-discretionary rule: Rule of Law. Rule of Law is imposed upon men by the organized use of violence to prohibit discretionary rule. Natural Law (property) provides Perfect Decidability to Rule of law, eliminating the need for…
Eccentricity is a Requirement
(of course I’m ‘eccentric’. anyone who sacrifices heavily for an intellectual pursuit is odd. it’s not normal to obsess on any topic. So all of us are a bit peculiar. we aren’t models to imitate, we’re resources to learn from. equality is a cancerous idea. specialization creates value we all share – not just in…
Ancapism Cannot Survive Market Competition
***”anarchism lacks institutions for construction of decidable law, and the production of commons necessary for the continuous development of suppression of parasitism and continuous development of competitive commons. It’s an ethic for disasporic people who free ride upon nation states, but it cannot serve as the institutional basis of a voluntary polity because one cannot…
Markets: Designed, Constructed, Or Evolved?
It’s that men did in fact create markets by forcible suppression of alternatives (parasitism) in all walks of life. Now this is different from ‘designed’. The market arises as a consequence of this suppression. So we ‘liberate’ the market as well as man, from parasitism. we construct liberty and market by the same means: suppression…
A Subjective To Objective Translation Worth Repeating
—Humans are adapted to want traditional forms of governance. They want law. They want to be ruled by legitimate, worthy, and trusted authority. They want a leader who commands the force of the nation to represent them to the outside world.”— Adolphus Völkermord Yes … and we want them because we want low opportunity costs…
Critical Rationalism And Justificationism: Just The Beginning
July 13 · The critical rationalists are vocal about the ever present effects of ever present justificationism. yet they do not take this into behavior, manners, ethics, morals, politics, and economics to the same degree that they do to verbal argument, statistics, and physical sciences. The world is built subtractively: we seek to make things…
Anglo Civilization: Wishful Thinking

These individuals tend to…
Types of Promise(Warranty)
Unless one starts with a definition of truth these are fairly meaningless words. More desperate attempts to apply axiomatic or theoretic rules to loaded, framed, colloquial speech without the awareness that colloquial speech evolved to tolerate laziness, obscure ignorance, convey moral promise, and as such is neither axiomatic or theoretic but merely “meaningful”: conveying associations…
Why Do Central Banks Use Intermediaries?
IMPORTANT: WHY DO CENTRAL BANKS USE INTERMEDIARIES? —“Question: why do central banks continue to do stimulus through intermediaries like banks when they can wire the money directly to consumers? Eg. by issuing them with prepaid cards to spend?”— Ayelam I am not an econometrician but I suspect I’ll hold my own against any living econometric…
Exchanging Opportunity for Parasitism for Opportunity for Homesteading.
Proximity decreases opportunity costs. We can also argue that as a consequence of reduced opportunity costs we can create opportunities otherwise impossible. And as a consequence, we compete to discover and homestead those opportunities. We make this density possibly by the high cost of forgoing opportunities for imposing costs. Thereby preserving cooperation despite an equal…
No Place for the Ineffable?
–“So the ineffable has no place?”–Ramsey I find ineffability to be an exceptional excuse fo preserving obscurantism and deceit. There is nothing inexplicable. There are things we merely are too ignorant to explain. As far as I know any human experience is conveyable by one means or another. The causal explanation of that experience is…
Individual Man The Animal, Warrior Man The Human.
Men. You are disposable to women, and disposable to politicians, and disposable to intellectuals. The only brothers you have, to whom you are not disposable are brothers in arms, the sergeants, captains, and generals who depend upon you. And the generations of warriors before you, and those that may yet follow you if you do…
Only Autists, Narcissists, And The Anti Social Can Be Fooled By Rothbardianism.
It’s actually pretty obvious that the only person who could think like a rothbardian libertarian is an autistic or narcissist that has only limited understanding of himself, and no understanding of others, and near total buy-in of the Marxist view of history claiming man was oppressed. When the opposite is true: man was forcibly domesticated…
What’s Missing From The Ten Commandments?
@curtdoolittle —“We could live only by 10 commandments refined.”– The 10 commandments did not tell us how to speak the truth, only that we should not lie, steal, kill. That is its failing. That the commandments (truths) were delivered to us by lies, does not help us either. Natural law says the same, but truthfully.…
The Ony Authority Is Totality Of Consequence
***There is no authority but totality of consequence*** Forever ignorant, forever ill-informed, forever limited by reason, we have increasingly general rules to rely upon when we must make the dozens if not hundreds of decisions we make daily. To make those decisions, we rely upon those methods of decision making we call manners, ethics,…
