Natural Law Isn’t Complicated
Imagine you visit a totally alien island, and have no knowledge of manners, ethics, morals, traditions myths, rituals, laws, institutions, and metaphysical value judgments. History is replete with the difficulty of establishing communication, trust, cooperation, trade, and especially, non-conflict. But because of natural laws we can start from the lowest methods of communication: giving gifts,…
The Non-obvious Benefits Of Market Government
(important topic) William Butchman just indirectly reminded me that when I say ‘market government’ is the most likely candidate for creating a beneficial form of ‘post majoritarian rule’ while retaining the benefit of creating non-monopolistic commons: a) that groups are not prevented from creating what we call anarchic (private contractual) commons, simply by setting conditions…
June – July – August Quotes
I’m probably not that much smarter than you are. I’m just dumb about different things. You’re not “Conservative” or “Liberal” anymore. You’re either a Globalist or you’re an American. —i hope rothbard comes back from the grave to voluntarily slice your neck off —ancap_venetaz Then I’d just make him my bitch in person as well.…
Strictly Constructed Law And Contract
It’s not that different from programming, which any reasonably intelligent lawyer that can program a bit will readily observe. The Structure of a Program or Contract ———————————————————— Purpose (Whereas these conditions exist) Return Value (and whereas we wish to produce these ends) Constants and Variables (definitions constructed) Objects (constructions from base types / “first principles”)…
Decidability And Morality
While explanatory power is useful – it isn’t necessarily a test of truth. Whereas testimonial decidability does serve as a test of truth. We tend to confuse platonic truth (that arrangement of ideas we might possess if we possessed more information than we currently do) where our model is infinitely intertemporal(extends into the future regardless…
Fascism In The Great Game Of Rock Paper Scissors
–Liberty/Market, Fascism/Mar, Law/Culture– The Communist threat was enormous. Given the asymmetric value of oppy.costs, NOT ACTING in era of change is expensive. So taking early initiative or waiting is a question of forecast costs. And fascism was an answer to acting early. A condition of liberty is the consequence of the nearly universal suppression of…
Stuck on Malinvestments.
ADHERENCE TO FALSIFIED THEORIES ISN”T DEMONSTRATING INTELLIGENCE – JUST LOSS AVOIDANCE GIVEN ONE’S OVERINVESTMENT IN MALINVESTMENT Sure I spent a lot of time at LvMI. But you know, once you know your theory is bullshit it’s time to seek another. There is only one source of liberty: the organized application of violence to suppress parasitism…
If Any Of You Are Still Deceived, We Can Cure You.
(marxism, feminism, democratic secular humanism, mainstream democrat, republican, libertarian, anarcho capitalism, neo-reactionary) —“There is only one source of liberty: the organized application of violence to suppress parasitism by all means in every area of life.” Here we have the means (violence) to an end (liberty).How is this not edgy consequentialism again. Fucking animals can consequentialism…
A Rose By Any Other Name: Aristocratic Egalitarianism And Propertarianism
—“Q&A: Curt, How Do We Refer To Your Work: Propertarianism or Aristocratic Egalitarianism”— In my view (which may or may not be right) I have written down in rational and scientific terms, the western group evolutionary strategy – the philosophy of the west. But it’s a very big scope of work. So what you call…
Q&A: Curt, Whats With Your Rejection Of Plato?
It is best to read Plato(idealist) along with Dante(apologist) and Macchiavelli(empiricist),with the understanding that as he is writing Greece has passed out of its high point, and he is trying to find a method for ‘manufacturing’ great leaders like Pericles. He wants to restore the past. Why? Because he doesn’t have a solution. So he’s…
Aristocracy Made Us.
The conservative organizing principle is meritocracy, and a significant percentage of mankind cannot productively compete. The primary reason being that they cannot compete productively is that they are nearly impossible to train, difficult and expensive to train, or more expensive to train than the organization of reproduction, production, and commons can tolerate. The conservative promise…
Caplan Always Requires A Tablespoon Of Salt
Caplan’s opinion, like most of his opinions, is not about western civilization in the same sense as westerners use the term in the Greco/Roman, Germanic, or Anglo, American, French, and German enlightenment thinkers: as the struggle for rule of law and truth, goodness and beauty. Instead, Caplan’s misattribution of ‘western civilization’ is the Cosmopolitan (Ashkenazi)…
Why Will Fiat Currency Always Exist?
The truth is that fiat currency is such an advantage that a people cannot compete without it. Competing currencies and commodities exist but they are not anywhere near as price stabilized as fiat money CAN be. So we are always going to have it. Probably digital will replace it and it will have to because…
Libertines And SJW’s Alike
Apparently, the technique of using cap-headlines on posts is offensive to Rothbardians, who need a safe place – right next to the Social Justice Warriors – that is free of ratio-scientific argument, and where they can desperately cling to their collective suspension of disbelief free of threats that would contradict their self-worth-sustaining variation of right-Marxist…
Aristocratic Egalitarianism’s Adaptation To Peace And War
(important for new right and alt-right) PEACE (disperse efforts – exchange and production ) – Liberty (rule of law, natural law, universal standing and application) – Universalism – Marke Competition: Competition (reproduction, production), Commons Production (monopoly or market) – Insurance: Militia, Emergency Services, Hospital (care) – Voluntary organization of most. —VERSUS— WAR (concentrate efforts –…
End Copyright
There are moral laws, and immoral laws. And copyright protection for creative works has long turned evolved an immoral law. There is no shortage of entertainment, and no evidence that limiting media copyright to terms of the creative commons will reduce the market presence of these productions. Worse, copyrights produce artificial subsidy that encourages the…
It’s Not Capitalism That’s The Problem
—capitalism is a failure. It’s like the game monopoly. — Except monopoly is nothing at all like real life. And capitalism is responsible for raising the world out of endemic violence ignorance disease and poverty. The problem isn’t capitalism ( the voluntary organization of production ). It’s that the richer we become, the more talented you…
Infinity, And The Fictional Justificationary Narratives Used In Mathematics
infinite = **’unknown, because without context of correspondence we cannot determine limits’**, that’s all it means. Because that’s all it *can* mean and not argumentatively convert from mathematics to theology or fictional justification is perhaps a better term. The irony is that mathematicians seek precision in their statements and take pride in the precision of…
Sequences
SEQUENCE: COMPUTABLE (DETERMINISTIC), CALCULABLE (NON-COMPUTABLE/DEDUCTIVE/LOGICAL) RATIONAL (INDUCTIVE/NON-CONTRADICTORY), IMAGINABLE (ABDUCTIVE/VAGUELY ASSOCIABLE). IRRATIONAL (UNIMAGINABLE / INASSOCIABLE )
Restoring Truth: It”s Not Easy Trying To Reground Man In Reality And Forcing Him To Speak Truthfully: Because It’s Hard And Costly
The attraction of the theological, platonic, ideal, fictional is so great if for no other reason that the mind naturally categorizes unnecessary operationally deterministic detail into names of consequences of those operations. In fact, this is what the mind does: generalize. Because our computational bandwidth is limited, and our ability to work with a concept…
Q&A: Covenant Communities?
Q&A: CURT: HOW DO HOPPE’S COVENANT COMMUNITIES FIT WITH PROPERTARIANISM? (good piece) (for newbies especially) —“Hoppe’s advocating for so-called covenant communities seems a decent idea on paper, people establish communities based on contractual relations and setting rules based on the will of the community. Now I have seen videos of you talking about the “absolute…
Marxists Salve The Useful Idiots
ISLAMISTS USE THE MARXIST STRATEGY: PLAY TO THE DISCOUNT-SEEKING OF USEFUL IDIOTS —“Moderates exist only to salve the anxieties of the useful idiots. They were given the right to determine customary problems, then they said that they needed a parallel judiciary. When this was achieved, they asked to be governed according to Sharia. When this…
Sigh. All The Enlightenment Theories Failed.
—“How about stopping with the anti-Semitic nonsense. Rothbard’s libertarianism has nothing to do with “Jewish Ethics”. . . try reading the Old Testament. Rothbard was for libertarian elites and opposed to statist ones.”— Peter E McAlpine Conversely, it has everything to do with jewish ethics, because likewise, it has everything to do with the attempt…
Q&A: Why Does Attraction Wear Off After Seven Years Of Monogamy
It’s pretty simple. We get natural ‘heroin’ when we are attracted to a woman. we get more when she pays attention to us. and we get a lot more of it when we have sex with her. we get accustomed to it and agitated by its loss. And then we develop a tolerance for it.…
