Thinking About Future Talks

Domestication Causes More Meaningful Evolution Than Mutation
Sep 02, 2016 10:59pm As far as I know: 1) In the past 30k and certainly in the past 10K years, the driving force in selection has not been mutation, but ‘group domestication’. There are environmental selection pressures ( dairy, wheat, disease resistance) sure. But the primary difference has been, just like domesticated animals, domestication…

(“Paleo-Libertarianism / Natural Law”) b) Freshwater: Rule of Law: Non-interference with planning, but insurance against informational asymmetries, at the expense of consumption.

Markets In Everything – And Economists Circumventing them.

A market for production (goods and services), a market for commons (government), a market for dispute resolution (common law), and a market for polities (voluntary association and disassociation).

Sep 04, 2016 12:26pm NOTES FOR YOUR USE: PROPERTY IN TOTO – The academy uses ‘reported’ vs ‘stated’ preference. We correctly use ‘demonstrated’ preference. – Why do you have the right to depreciate the normative values others have invested in as a flag? I mean, if I bore a cost to create a norm, and…

Graphing Societies By Neuroticism and Individualism
Once we evolved sentience we required a fanciful positive incentive in order to deal with the fact that the universe is hostile to us, does not care about us, and will exterminate us in a heartbeat if we cease the struggle. And that our collective consciousnesses in each tribe constitute the god we speak to…
Sovereignty: Requires Markets In Everything
LIBERTY (SOVEREIGNTY): MARKETS IN EVERYTHING Survival (competition) Reproduction (Marriage) Production (economy) Commons (market govt) Displute Resolution (natural law) Group Evolutionary Strategy (Polities) Hayek was right of course. He could have taken it even farther. But he was right. The answer to Keynes(demand/spending) and Hayek(disinformation/misallocation) is solved by credit cards from the treasury – assuming liquidity…

The Source of Bliss
As far as I know feelings of intellectual bliss are caused by the pack response combined with obviating the labor of reason. Comfort food, comfort of home, comfort of surrendering to the will of the pack. Now, there are many kinds of feelings of bliss, as well as pleasure and joy. Some of them are…
Refuting Some Criticism
Sep 06, 2016 9:34am CRITICISM FROM ERIC —“Your first principles so far are nothing more than presuppositions and you have a lot of actual philosophical work to do if you are going to persuade deep thinkers, you can brush that aside by saying you’ve done the work and it’s in some writing that I haven’t…
The Purpose of Emotions. Consequence Not Cause.
We seek emotions because we evolved those emotions for very obvious reasons: rewards. What is it that we are seeking a reward for? What change in state or preservation of state do we seek to achieve and for what reason? Emotions are only rewards and punishments. What are we rewarded and punished for by monopoly…
Necessities, Not Preferences
Sep 06, 2016 11:32am Life, liberty, and property are necessary for our extension of perception and the choice of actions, across nature, competition, ignorance, time and space – without which we cannot defeat the forces of nature, competition, ignorance, time, and space. We must preserve life, liberty, and property in order to obtain the cooperation,…

No other civilization has done this. It…

If not, aren’t you just making a convoluted defense of the “might makes right” argument?”— NATHANIEL I’m going to try to answer two questions. (a) might-makes-right (b) justly acquired property (a) might does not…
