Daniel Gurpide 1. We should be aware that we are living in an interregnum (postmodernity), a period of waiting during which destiny hangs between two options: either to complete the triumph of the egalitarian conception of the world (the end of history), or to promote a historical regeneration. (CD: Agreed) 2. Is…

(Just explained to someone that america isn’t great at all and never has been and he was horrified. The only good thing we did was contain communism. If we contain islamism we will have finished the european project in the modern era as rome failed the european project in the ancient world: dragging mankind out…

If you advocate reciprocity under rule of law you MUST end up with moral capitalism. If you advocate capitalism in and of itself you will end up with immoral capitalism. The greatest trick the devil every played was convincing us he didn’t exist? The greatest trick in antiquity was convincing us that gods…

Interesting question. Good answers. Let’s look at how we can ask this question. 😉 Technical Innovation <-> Practical Utility <——> Popular Influence Successful Technical Hard to argue that the Russel-Frege-Kripke chain didn’t provide answers but it’s also hard to argue that they weren’t wasting their time. Because Babbage-Cantor-Goedel-Turing produced superior methods and answers. Failed TechnicalThe…

by Daniel Gurpide 1. I think that ‘nationalism’ has to be clarified and put into historical perspective so as to become a really empowering technology. (CD: ok) 2. My priors so that you understand where I come from: I have relatives in Spain, France, Norway and the UK; I studied in…

a) Rule (conflict resolution), b) Government(commons production), c) Market(Consumption production) 1 – Rule of Law vs Discretionary Rule 2 – Production of commons by a spectrum of discretion: individual, oligarchical, syndicalist, democratic. 3 – Distribution of control of property between rulers and citizens. 4 – Distribution of proceeds…

THERE ISN”T A DEFINITION OF FASCISM (REALLY) Fascism doesn’t actually have a definition. Look it up. What it’s reducible to is the application of total war (national organization for military and political conflict) to economics (national organization for economic and political conflict). The Nazis even took it all the way to aesthetics. (Which was…

I mean, you can’t get around reciprocity as the measure of morality. You can’t get around property in toto as the test and limit of reciprocity. You can’t get around natural law of reciprocity as the means of dispute resolution. You can’t get around markets under natural law of reciprocity. You can’t get around the…

WHAT DOES “MARKET FASCISM” MEAN? It means nothing other than the prohibition on any alternative to voluntary and reciprocal orders, because even advocacy of an alternative is to engage in conspiracy to commit theft. Militia > Sovereignty > Rule of Law > Markets In Everything

WESTERN MAN DOES NOT ASK THE CAPITALISM VS SOCIALISM QUESTION: IT”S A COSMOPOLITAN DICHOTOMY. The question of capitalism vs socialism is not a western question – It’s a Cosmopolitan Question. Westerners have always been homogenous and therefore could afford to be communitarian but we have done so by tripartism: classes. The agrarian…

MARKETS ARE MADE BY INCREMENTAL SUPPRESSION OF PARASITISM.

Fascism was an attempt to solve both the cancer of communism by intentions, and the cancer of capitalism by externality.

“Market Fascism” Provides the only sovereignty. Rule of Natural Law of Reciprocity, Judiciary, Militia, Monarchy. Everyone else just rides on the market, and that market pays for all of the above.

by William L. Benge I’m not sure I would describe myself as one of the brightest. Having said that, I still was able to grasp at every point how **Curt is using shock value as a vehicle for confrontation.*** Of course, I came to the table with an appreciation for these…

—“True Enough” gets ya survival and some successes. “Truth” gets ya transcendence.”— Nick Heywood

What most people call a ‘philosophy’ is just a personal marketing statement of the criteria necessary for their voluntary cooperation: “here is my ideal social contract”. The problem is, that if their voluntary cooperation were desirable they would not need a philosophy as such. Champagne taste and swill pocketbook.

—“I know of people who DO know what [Marxian] dialectics means. They have elaborated a dialectical method in the form of an “algorithmic heuristic”, based upon an axiomatized ‘mathematics of dialectics’, which is both a ‘contra-Boolean algebra’ of dialectical logic, and a “non-standard model” of “Natural” Numbers arithmetic.”— Miguel Deton It’s called ‘Pilpul’. (Look…

Most of my conflcits come from the religiously inclined, and those who find that same inclination in fiction. Truth is not merciful to our frames of reference.

VERY FEW PEOPLE PURSUE TRUTH. MOST WANT “TRUE ENOUGH” The number of people whose primary concern is the discovery of perfect decidability (meaning Truth), and perfect decidability in physical, personal, interpersonal, political, and inter-political matters is very small. What all but a few want is not truth but justification, technique, or opportunity. The value…

“Follow the money” turns out to be about the optimum epistemology one can pursue. The difference is that both man and nature seek to defeat entropy, man follows property in toto because he can choose to outwit the course of events, and nature can’t choose but take the first opportunity it stumbles upon.

I am a pagan if 1) I accept the laws of nature as binding on all of existence; and 2) if I treat nature as sacred and to be contemplated, protected and improved; and 3) I treat the world as something to transform closer to an Eden in whatever ways I can before I die;…
