Would The Poor Have Better Standards Of Living In A Perfect Free Market Economy?

Is Leninism A Different Form Of Capitalism?
Capitalism: The voluntary organization of production, distribution, trade, and consumption.Socialism: The involuntary organization of production, distribution, trade, and consumption.

Why Is Neoliberalism So Prevalent In The U.s.?
Women voters, and the profitability of selling education that appeals to future women voters. And the profitability of selling consumption to women voters in their role as consumers. Really. That’s the reason. https://www.quora.com/Why-is-neoliberalism-so-prevalent-in-the-U-S
What Is The Difference Between Economic Liberalism And Political Liberalism In The Context Of International Relations?

Yes. I’m Controversial. But Why?
[Y]eah. I’m controversial. Although, it’s somewhat odd to me that advocating truth-telling, not-stealing, limiting public publication to truthful statements, converting to market rather than authoritarian government, and paying poor people in exchange for having just one kid, is controversial. Slaying sacred ideological cows in every era is controversial. But then, I don’t know why advocating…
Close to the Final Word On Ethical Systems. (The “Deontological Fallacy” In Ethics)
—“My philosophical problem with consequentialism is it’s lacking solid base.”— A Friend (Free Northerner) [I]’d like to give you a different suggestion. That we practice four levels of ethics depending upon the skill in the area of our actions. 1) Pedagogical Myths…(very young)…………..Stories (WESTERN PATHOLOGICAL ALTRUISM) 2) Virtue Ethics………….(young)………………….Biographies 3) Rule Ethics……………(inexperience adult)…Laws 4) Outcome…
Intentional Abuse of Ethical Systems as a Means of Parasitism
[T]he false use of ethics as a means of deception. In childhood we require others to imitate: virtue ethics. In adulthood we require general rules to apply : rule ethics. In wisdom we require outcomes to measure : outcome ethics. Not all can achieve outcome ethics. Some are stuck in virtue. Others in rule. 1)…
NAP: Asserting that Out-group non-retaliation was a rule for in-group cooperation
[N]AP was employed by separatists to attempt to assert that out-group non-retaliation was a rule for in-group cooperation. Jewish law, culture, and religion attempt to preserve separatism so that they gain the benefits of the host’s commons production, without paying for the normative commons. Just as Gypsies do, but gypsies keep the cost low enough,…
Rothbardians are to the Commons as Socialists are to Production
[I]’ll simplify it: we cannot all be parasites. ergo: NAP/Rothbardian libertinism is to commons as socialism is to production.Socialists lay claim to the fruits of other’s production under the false premise that they will continue to produce. Libertines (rothbardians) lay claim to the fruits of others production of commons under the false premise that they…
Propertarianism is for the Prosecution: Sheriff, Knight, Judge
[M]AYBE IT’S NOT OBVIOUS: PROPERTARIANISM IS FOR THE PROSECUTION: THE SHERIFF, THE KNIGHT, THE JUDGE It’s not belief. It’s not a religion. It’s law. A law for the prosecution of those who have engineered deceptions by which to confiscate our private and common property by appealing to our altruistic morality. Every Man A Sheriff, Every…
The Problem of Moral Intent Without the Skills of Moral Action
[T]he moral man is skeptical. If you come at me with questions it would be the actions of a moral man. But as a teacher of others and a philosopher myself I grasp that it is quite difficult to ask questions when you do not know what to ask. So the only option available to…
We are Coming. We are Legion.
[W]e are coming with internet, radios, guns, molotovs, where our ancestors came with leaflets, guns, torches and nooses; and their ancestors came with letters, pitchforks, torches, and knives; and their ancestors with word of mouth, spears, torches, and knives. We are coming. They know we are coming. But we are legion.
Drones Hovering
[D]rones Hovering 1) We probably need to maintain a right of Transitus (transit) but not a right of Observo(observation) or Usus (use) for drones. I can’t see how to get around this. That means that you must have the ability to navigate but not the ability to observe. (this is pretty easy. we put blinders…
The Challenge of Our Time is Deceit
[W]e spend a lot of time on logical fallacies, which assume mere error on the part of one’s opponent. We have begun to spend a lot of time on Cognitive Biases which affect one’s opponent. But both of these disciplines assume that the other party errs. When the problem of modern era, is not error…
IP: Why Should An Author Have The Right To Income On Ideas and Opinions
[W]ell, I am not sure we should unless we want to subsidize the production of more ideas and opinions than can be produced without subsidy. And the evidence is that we produce far more ideas and opinions than the market will bear. Propertarianism says the opposite: that you may not sell those ideas and opinions…
Is Islam Objectively Evil? Why?
[I]t is not that one fails to comprehend it (accept its fallacies). It is that it is objectively evil in every dimension: One does not judge a product by its advertising but by it’s performance. One does not judge a religion by its narrative or claims, but by the status of its adherents. One does…
A Very New Cut On Intellectual History
(draft) [S]o Zoroastrianism was constructed to divide the Persians and indians who were both southern Indo-European peoples. Then the Talmud was constructed as a lie to justify retention of property after the end of the Babylonian conquest. THE REVOLUTION The Greeks invented reason, truth, science, and politics for the management of people at scale. The…
The Family Institution…
[W]ithout the family we create great incentive for defectors, and we increase vastly the cost of individual housing, insurance, and sustenance and survival, That’s all. Marriage makes people wealthier by lowering costs, and creating a higher barrier to reproduction that prevents the underclasses from reproductive parasitism. So it is less important that our BEST breed…
Continental -> Postmodern Philosophy -vs- Analytic -> Testimonial Philosophy
ANALYTIC PHILOSOPHY -> POSTMODERN -> TESTIMONIAL PHILOSOPHY [Y]ou see all these damned lists I make? All these definitions I write? How I walk through long sequences of reasoning? How I’m pedantic about what information is present, and what operation alters what information? How I place great burden on your ability to maintain a chain of…
There is a Reasong for Interpetive Differences in Religion
[T]he need for interpretation is evidence of the fallacy of a statement. —” find it very hard to believe that you will enable you to quickly and accurately interpret the Qu’ran when there appears to be much disagreement even within adherents to the religion”— That’s because no amount of study will achieve anything other than…
Speaking the Truth
(reposted) [Y]ou can claim you have done sufficient due diligence to warrant your words against retribution. That is all you can claim. Otherwise you can speak to the air (yourself) but not to another. If you have done so you can err, or your information may be insufficient, or more information in the future may…
The Market Determines The Level of Suppression Necessary for a Stateless Polity
[N]ow, without protection all of their accumulated potential – what we call assets – from the imposition of costs, what do people DO? Not what do we WISH they did – because that is fantasy – but what do people do? They retaliate. That’s what they do. If they can’t retaliate they constrain their risk.…
Disease Gradients Impede Cooperation
(Via Francesco Principi) “The xenophobia expressed in environments with high pathogen severity creates barriers to intergroup cooperation. These barriers cause greater poverty in environments with increased pathogen severity, in addition to the direct effects of disease on the human capital that is essential to economic growth. Xenophobic groups in competition for resources are unwilling to…
Classification by Advertising Rather Than Content
[W]e have this tragic categorial bias in the west wherein we classify religions by their advertising rather than their content.
