The Great Lies of Both Eras
(Having an angry moment over “the big lies”.) [B]efore the hebrew bible there were myths. But the invention of that history was the invention of lying. Its the invention of the big lie.

Politicians Follow the Incentives We Give Them Using Information They Possess
[P]eople follow incentives given the information at their disposal. The problem for all people when faced with sensory instrumentation insufficient to provide them with decidability in maters of complexity at hand, they rely purely on incentives. In the case of politicians they follow the incentives we have given them. Monopoly (majoritarian) democracy…
The Corrected History Of Civilization: Paternalism as Domestication
(by Eli Harman) [A]dvanced civilization, with production and division of labor, is necessarily founded on property, which is a masculine innovation, the more private, the more masculine. Property is that which you obtain and maintain at personal cost, and that which you are willing and able to defend. Property rights are a subset of that…
How Would A Pure Communist State Look Like?
It would look like a unicorn, a fairy tale, or a dystopian science fiction novel. Communism is impossible for two related reasons: inability to calculate anything economic, and lack of availability of incentives. Communism is a farm for free ridership. https://www.quora.com/How-would-a-pure-communist-state-look-like

What Is Libertarian Communism?
Like “meritocratic communism” it is either an impossibility, or a lie. Most likely a lie to cover an impossibility. Most such lies are created in order to perpetuate fraud by political means by making false moral appeals in an effort to avoid exchanging behavioral limitations for material rewards. Libertarianism: universal individual ownership of property, and…
Is Socialism Dangerous?
Isn’t 100 Million dead in one century because of a pseudoscientific economic and political system propagated by tyrants from the underclasses enough evidence?

What Are The Key Differences Between Nordic Socialism And Other Flavors Of Socialism, And Is There An Example Of Nation That Has Prospered Under It?
Nordics do not practice socialism but very high levels of taxation and redistribution. They are highly capitalist economies. The reasons that they can achieve this state are that Northern europeans have been selectively eliminating the troublesome lower part of the gene pool for thousands of years (impulsivity and IQ under 80.) Cold weather, short summers,…
Is Tech The Only Or Rather Biggest Way To Make A “dent In The Universe” Today? What Are Problems In The World That Need More Than Tech To Solve?
Tech is useful because at present the cost of creating change requires the least capital of all other available options. Tech is still extremely disruptive. However, the desktop appears to have somewhat peaked, and the value of new handheld software appears to be close to peaking. The next disruption is when Apple must seek new…

Why Do Some People Say That Former Eastern Block Countries Had A State Capitalist System And Not A Socialist One?
They’re wrong. https://www.quora.com/Why-do-some-people-say-that-former-eastern-block-countries-had-a-state-capitalist-system-and-not-a-socialist-one

What Is After Socialism And Capitalism?
We have always had mixed economies and always will. Neither extreme is possible since under pure capitalism commons cannot be produced because incentives to produce them don’t exist, and under pure socialism production is impossible in no small part because incentives to produce don’t exist. These two terms are also questionably dishonest. Capitalism refers to…

Hold The Looting Hordes At Bay
—“One man can’t stand alone against the world. But a few in confederation can hold the looting hoards at bay indefinitely.”—- Eli Harman
Love Thyself. Love Thy Kin. Love Thy Nation. But Transcend all of man.
[I] will say it again. Of course I love my family and tribe above all. But I also wish every other family and tribe to prosper, evolve, and transcend. As far as I can tell, our differences are just differences in skills when we practice truthfulness in all walks of life. And yes, I understand…
