Agreed. It’s Very Important.
AGREED. IT’S VERY IMPORTANT (EXPANSION ON MOLYNEUX) Stefan Molyneux produced a great video yesterday on the various power laws of human organization, and how these affect our social, economic, and political orders. He adds all the ‘color’ and examples I rarely do. I’m going to repeat, add to his points here, and expand on them…
The Final Word On Numbers and Mathematics
NUMBERS: POSITIONAL NAMES OF CONSTANT RELATIONS. MATH: THE SCIENCE OF MEASUREMENT OF RELATIONS BY THE USE OF CONSTANT RELATIONS. EXTENSIONS OF ORDINARY LANGUAGE Numbers are names.

What Did Americans Sound Like In The Late 18th And Early 19th Centuries, And When Did The Recognizable “general American” Accent Come Into Being? Did Americans Sound British In The 1700’s And 1800’s? If Not, What Did Americans Sound Like?
Mis-stated question. Instead: When did american accents begin to develop? From the very beginning. The american east coast was formed by four different groups of immigrants from different areas of Britain who already spoke with different accents. (To us they would all sound much more gaelic than british do today.) These groups spread in horizontal…
What’s The Difference Between Keynesian Economics And Austrian Economics?

Why Are Women Often Portrayed As Symbol Of Evil Or Weakness?
TRUTH IS VERY OFTEN OFFENSIVE. WHICH IS WHY WE MUST SEARCH FOR IT – BECAUSE WE HIDE IT. BUT HERE IS THE ANSWER. Women (females) evolved gossip, rallying, shaming, trading of care-taking, sex and affection, as a means of manipulation (power), by which to gain control over (much) more powerful males. Women (females) are not…
Women are the Problem. Domestically and Internationally
Understand. There is only one international problem: the size of the underclass population – under say, 100. That’s it. We will some day soon have to face the fact that it’s populations under 115 that are the problem for humanity and for the planet – and that all the talk-talk-talk in history is created…
Joel Davis on Deflationary Government
By John Dow The enforcers (sovereigns) produce law, and as a consequence, markets. The taxpayers (subjects) use the markets, under the law, as consumers of market goods, services, and information. I would advocate a constitution as a contract of mutually enforced recipriocity (justice) between enforcers. I would advocate the enforcers appoint a supreme justice (or supreme court of…

The Literature of “Growing Up”
Literature of Growing Up: Rothbard, Friedman, Sowell, Hayek. (and Me) Grownups should ignore Rothbard. He’s talking in children’s stories. Parables. Silly stuff. If you wanna read teenager stories read Friedman. He is as close to correct as I know how to get. If you wanna read junior college stories read Sowell. He talks about the…

Our Renewal
Please take a moment during this day of renewal, rebirth, and resurrection, to contemplate our civilization’s restoration, renewal, rebirth, and resurrection as one family, one people, who, for thousands of years, all alone, in small numbers, and little wealth, have struggled, by the virtue of our character, and our traditions, to drag humanity, imperfectly, sometimes…

The Market for Reciprocity
Apr 16, 2017 1:44pm THE MARKET FOR RECIPROCITY? Yes we can create a market for truthful (non false, non-parasitic) political speech. In fact, it was the state that ended our market for truthful speech. Why? … Isn’t science an ongoing discovery process? doesn’t it function as a market for information, with career ending punishments for…
We? Who Are ‘We’? The Martial-Monopoly Judicial-Market Class
WE? WHO ARE ‘WE’? We are the people who fight, kill, ostracize, punish, perform restitution upon those who act as parasites upon the polity, upon the commons, or upon the private production of people like ‘us’. And if you wish to engage in political, institutional, normative, informational, commercial, or interpersonal parasitism, we will force restitution,…
The Steppe Way of War is Superior
The steppe way of war practiced by our earliest ancestors, and practiced by muslims today, is superior to the interregnum method of war, relying upon a concentration of forces. That means: RAIDS. Conduct of many small raids costs little but creates great uncertainty and costs the host thousansd of times as much in defense. In…

WHAT I’M SAYING ISN’T THAT COMPLICATED. IT”S THE OPERATIONALIZATION, ADVOCACY, AND DEFENSE OF IT THAT’S COMPLICATED. Michael Churchill Curt you’ve argued that you want the US to have multiple legal frameworks via devolution of power from the national to the state level. Isn’t that a sort of acceptance of different strokes for different folks? Curt…
Reciprocity just makes it preferable to cooperate rather than engage in predation.
t’s not that Reciprocity is good for all of us – even though it is. It’s just that it’s the only condition under which it’s not more profitable, preferable, logical to kill you, take you things, and enslave your women and children. Personally, I kind of prefer the whole kill, take, and enslave thing, but…

Because I Don’t Trust You

You Cannot Trust What You Cannot Measure – That’s not Trust, but Faith
Apr 17, 2017 12:29pm You cannot trust what you cannot measure. If you cannot measure it you are acting not on trust but on faith. And faith is not a way to govern, but a way to hide the extraction of rents before the opportunity is lost.
Becker’s Use of Marginalism in Violence and Revolution
BECKER’S USE OF MARGINALISM IN VIOLENCE AND REVOLUTION (predatory gains are linear, losses to prey are exponential) —“…a simple calculation that predatory interest groups and their taxpaying victims make: what return on my investment can I get by lobbying government? Becker’s insight is that the gains to predators are linear, but the losses to prey…
The Total Cost of Revolution? It’s the difference between the Cost of Not Revolting.
You are a prisoner of your frames. If you don’t start any political question with violence and predation and construct from the bottom up, you are engaging in one of many forms of wishful thinking and deceit. Curt Doolittle updated his status. The total cost of revolution is unknowable. The total cost of the loss…
