Limits Of Political Action
No political action may be taken that is not reversible. Or framed alternatively: no action may be taken that one cannot pay restitution for the consequences. Or framed alternately: no government had the right to pursue immigration.
The Subtle Cause Of Differences In Races And Tribes
The ethnically Dutch are definitely the ‘master tribe’ by any empirical measure. The ethnically north sea (Danes, Swedes, Norwegians, Finns and North Germans) are an obvious distance behind. If for no other reason than there is greater territorial distance between them and the less evolved people (resistance to invasive genes), and the difficulty of surviving…
Q&A: The Importance of Aristotle?
—“Hi, Curt. Currently going through your reading list. Trying to make myself the best propertarian I can so I can help spread the message. There are plenty of libertarians and conservatives who would take to propertarianism if they got the message. My question is to you what do you think the significance of Aristotle’s work…
Q&A: What’s Wrong With Capitalism?
—“What is wrong with capitalism? Can it be solved by economic theories alone, or is it a leadership problem as well?”— Well, let’s take a ‘meaningful’ name: “capitalism”, and restated it operationally, using a ‘true’ name: What problems arise from the voluntary organization of production distribution and trade(capitalism) with individual distribution of property rights providing…
Information Is A Form Of Production No Different From Any Other
–“You’ve said that you see information as a commodity and therefore lies should be punishable fraud. Could you expand on what you mean as a commodity and how you would determine what forms of “lies” (you usually say leftist pseudo-science) should be punished?”— I said I see information as a kind of production that is…
Q&A On Alt-Right Strategy
—“Hi Mr. Doolittle, From my (very limited) knowledge of your work, you seem very concerned with legal rights and economic questions (based upon a moral framework), which is a definite departure from many on the Alt-Right who focus primarily on socio-political issues. Do you think it’s a weakness of our movement to avoid discussion of…
Pinker’s Criticism Of Taleb Is Taleb’s Doing But…
Taleb is right, Pinker is wrong, but Taleb makes his arguments to general principles rather than operational explanations. This is why we must have empiricism AND operationalism in scientific assertions. This is why people like Taleb must work top down (empirically) and others like me must work bottom up (operationally). And why opportunities to do…

—“All improvement in cooperation comes from parallel increases in informational quality++ and theft/fraud/conspiracy suppression–.”— Something I posted on twitter in response to this question. Man is a rational actor. He acts in his rational self-interest at all times, choosing immoral and moral actions by intuitive cost vs benefit; and we can find no exceptions other…
Garrett Lisi on His Theory of Everything
A Ted Talk that doesn’t suck and doesn’t require magic http://www.ted.com/talks/garrett_lisi_on_his_theory_of_everything
Q&a:Curt: Is There Any Morality Beyond Self Interest?
—“Do you believe that morality beyond self-interest is entirely false as a result?”— I don’t believe in anything, because the term is archaic. I can state that it’s a strong truth candidate, because despite extremely exhaustive efforts by highly biased researchers, we cannot find a single instance of moral action that is not in itself…
Q&A: —“Curt: How Does Conservatism Differ From Ideology”—
Short answer? Empiricism vs Irrationalism Curt said: —I’ll say that I use the language of natural law to construct institutions of natural law: exchange, rather than trying to argue that one position is superior to another in order to enforce a monopoly decision that I prefer over the monopoly decisions that others prefer— . Other…
Q&a: A Gentle Eugenics?
–What is the gentlest way to restrain underclass reproduction?– The gentlest way to restrain underclass reproduction is to be honest about it, transfer from services to direct redistribution, and to make redistribution contingent on single child reproduction, and offer free sterilization after the fist birth, and require sterilization of those with severe histories in the…
Q&a: Curt: Can We Shape Capitalism Or Is It Just Demographics?
—Do you think that national culture can shape capitalism to be an effective force without the downward shift of consumer choice tending toward mass culture, and government corruption? Or does it all come down to demographics?— It’s just demographics and redistribution. Better demographics, more homogenous demographics greater redistribution lower personal consumption for the purpose of…
Q&a: Curt: What’s Your Criticism Of Kant?
—Curt, Thanks for doing this. I would appreciate it if you could expand upon your criticism of Kant and what exactly he got wrong (and what he got right if anything). What is the problem with Critique of Pure Reason?— I think anyone can read wikipedia and understand the philosophical criticisms of Kant. I think…
Q&A: Two Questions: Operationalism, And Nick Land.
First, I don’t use the term ‘verifiable’ because that implies the fallacy of justificationism. For a general rule to exist and be non-false, we attempt to demonstrate determinism ( regularity, consistency ) of that general rule in every *dimension*: categorical consistency, internal consistency, external consistency, moral consistency, scope consistency(limits, full accounting, and parsimony). So in…
Q&a: How Do You Propose We Restore Eugenics?
Aug 15, 2016 2:07pm —You wrote earlier about the differences in races being, in part, a difficulty for certain peoples to cull the lower classes. Would you be in favour of an organized plan of eugenics in order to correct this?— I advocate that we are not conducting a trade with the lower classes, and…
How Do We Shift The Overton Window
Q&A: —How do we shift the Overton window to the right so that we can talk about our ideas in public and on campus again?— Moral men need a reason to demand change under the threat of violence. We need to give them: 1) a set of demands to alter the status quo. 2) a…
Q&A: “Curt: Does Eugenic Reproduction Place Too Much Power In The Hands Of Government?”
Great question, let’s take another example: Economists argue one group is correct or incorrect, but this is false framing of the discipline. The discipline of economics can be broken into three schools that describe a degree of discretion. The Austrian(aristocratic/ conservative) school pursues social science: the means by which we improve (reduce the frictions) of…
Why Is Redistribution Necessary?
Q: —Why is redistribution necessary?– Because we don’t get people to respect property rights for free if they have no incentive to. Just like they doing get us to bear the burden of supporting them if we have no incentive to. So trading behavior for money is just an exchange.
Political Preference Is Reducible To Genetic Strategy
—“One might view this as two competing models of class: the conservative model emphasizes producing an upper half of the pyramid, where the leftist model strives to produce the lower half.”— CLASSES –The conservative model emphasizes producing an upper half of the pyramid, where the leftist model strives to produce the lower half.— Conservative, K-selection,…
Curt: Does Civilization Give Us Higher Purpose?
(short answer, no) —does the introduction of civilization produce another algorithm, one in which the goal is to satisfy human desires and intentions more than a biological imperative?— It sure looks as though at some point we stop reproducing more out of security and simply consume more out of luxury. I think the domestication of…
Can We Find Class Movements In Conservatism, Libertarianism, And Progressivism?
(Short answer: yes) CURT: —I tend to refer to the various conservatisms as class-movements within the aristocratic egalitarian system of cooperation, with the national socialists and 88’ers and such as the upper proletariat and lower working class(soldiery, labor, and demand), the traditionalists as the upper working class(nco’s, information and advocacy), the legalists as the middle…
Nazis and Soros in Ukraine?
Q&A –What’s the story with nazis funded by Soros in Ukraine?— The story is, this: Which is more believable: that in a Country the size and population of Canada, whose people look across the border enviously at the prosperity of their extended family in Poland – people who speak approximately the same language, possess approximately…
Analysis Of The Strategies Of The Ukrainian And Russian Peoples And A Prediction Of The Future.
—Why is urkaine’s independence sacrosanct?— 1) liberty has a value in itself, and one cannot claim a desire for liberty without reciprocally assiting others. Although the reason for that is longer than I want to get into right now. 2) there is no reason ever, why a people cannot secede to form a nation by…
Politics for Dummies
POLITICS FOR DUMMIES? OK. EASY. Politics for dummies? Ok. It’s this simple. There are three ways to coerce people: force(law/military), payment(trade), and shaming(gossip/morals) These correspond to conservative(saving), libertarian(trade), and progressive(shaming). And these correspond to the reproductive roles of father(conservative), the brother(libertarian), and the mother and sister(progressive) And that’s because it’s the reproductive strategy of the…
