Actions As Constant Relations
(important concept) Identity Consists of a set of Constant Relations (Properties) – all the way up from the senses and all the way down from our ideas. Identity is discovered by free association, followed by elimination of non-constant relations. (falsification) Commensurability can be produced by use of a third reference that renders…
No More Monopoly Government And Economics
Aesthetic and generational returns for the aristocracy. Investment returns for the bourgeoise. Discounts for the laymen.

The only decidable good is demonstrated voluntary reciprocity.
Cooperation < Non-cooperation < Predation
COOPERATION < NON-COOPERATION < PREDATION Cooperation is only valuable if it is more valuable than non cooperation. Non cooperation is only valuable if it is more valuable than predation. If cooperation is no longer valuable then non-cooperation must be possible. If the state or some other organization prohibits non-cooperation, then predation is preferable…

How Would An Anarcho-capitalist System Prevent A Monopoly Of Power? Is It A Concern In The First Place?
Anarcho capitalist societies are impossible because it is impossible to create any competitive order without a territorial monopoly, and impossible to create a territorial monopoly without competitive defense, and impossible to create a competitive defense without competitive commons, because it is impossible to create concentrations of wealth without competitive commons. Moreover, all competitive commons in…

(in response to a request for technology review)(from elsewhere) My particular audience expects me to write about (a) artificial intelligence (b) the future of programming languages (c) digital currency and shares, (d) organizational management, and (e) the software development consulting business. They are a very high level audience, and would find it ‘odd’ or…

Only Human Enough To Not Soil One’s Self In Public.
I just went through the comment and it consists of standard language from law, philosophy, social science, and economics. The fact that I am knowledgeable in many fields is uncommon, but the language is neither opaque, or difficult to research, which is – usually – what people do, rather than ascribe to terms of art…

—“When I first began reading you Curt, the difficulty was understanding your implied word definitions, many of which conflicted with my own, and therefore made some of your arguments seem nonsensical. Like any new vocabulary, once I learned the language, your arguments seem quite simple. That’s not an insult but a heroic compliment. …

I’m a scientist. I look at the empirical evidence. The empirical evidence is that the most monstrous of the arts is writing in the grammar and semantics of fictionalism (pseudo-science, pseudo-rationalism, and pseudo-mythology), and in particular the conflation of all of the above. The greatest cause of death in history, other than the great…

Curt Doolittle please forgive my intrusion today but I wonder if I accidentally stumbled upon your reason for venturing into the libertarian realm in your evolution, followed by disaffection. It has to do, I’m convinced at the moment, with your sympathy with the elegance of the human mind; the human mind’s nature is…

(birth certificate)(from elsewhere) I rec’d one of the early copies of the pdf, along with a request to review it, and the cuts and pastes were still visible, (pdf’s store revision history just like word documents) and it was obvious that the background was added to the xerox copy afterward as an under-layer. It was…

White america speaks english, and uses english institutions, but for all intents and purposes, it is culturally german. For the simple reason that most of white america has german origins. England is celtic, german, and scandinavian with french decoration. Germany is the heart of europe. It has no choice. Unlike scandinavia it has enemies at…

The Origins Of Extension Of Kinship Love To Non-Kin: Militia.
In English, the word ‘brother’ in military context, is a ‘term of art’, meaning that one will remain loyal under duress. (See Shakespeare). In other words, you can trust one another to ‘cover your ass’ on the battlefield. We often claim that this extension of kinship ‘love’ to non-kin has it’s origins in Christianity. But…
The Function And Limits Of Moral “Authority”
THE FUNCTION AND LIMITS OF MORAL “AUTHORITY” (important piece) (*read this*) – Authority (via positiva) vs Decidability (via negativa). – Judges employ the via negativa of decidability in matters of tort for the simple reason that all reciprocity is decidable. The difference between individuals, groups, and nations, is in the scope of…
Mises Position In Intellectual History
(from elsewhere) Too long an answer for this forum. If I remember you correctly you’re a smart fellow so here is an analytic reduction for you to mull over: 0 – There are only so many dimensions of actionability available to man, about which he can speak in continuous relations. 1 – A…
Social Stratification By Demonstrated Merit.
by Bill Joslin This undergirds my issue with intergenerational transfer of title status, as well status by recognition. I’ll deal with the later fist. A corporate body which grants status by recognition – for instance induction into peerage provides a means corrupting market information via gatekeeping. An alternative, which you can find…
Reminder: I’m A Scientist, Classist And Nationalist Not A Racist
I have a huge backlog of friend requests from around the world, and it takes me about five minutes to research each person’s profile, and look them up on the internet before I accept. The reason being that we have postmodernists, christians, muslims, and jews that ‘stalk’ us in numbers and try to get us…

Yes I am very cautious of non-market (non competitive) solutions. I prefer to establish limits in law that violate reciprocity, and organize people by ability and interest into markets, rather than outright declare a general rule that insulates general rules of decidability from market information.

Newbie Information: Possible Criticisms And Post Format Cues
(a) legit criticisms of my work, and (b) how I structure posts to cue you whether you might want to read them or not. It’s not like my work isn’t open to criticism. Jeez. The whole point of doing work in public is to attract criticism in order to improve the work. Friends, followers,…
Incomprehension Is Not An Argument To Anything Other Than Your Lack Of Ability – Really.
> Robert Laird Incoherent nonsense. > Curt Doolittle Not an argument. A dunning kruger assertion. > Robert Laird Friends with Yuri N Maltsev and 4 others Not an argument. You’re right. Just my judgment that you’ve produced incoherent nonsense. Lots of people think they know how to write. Almost all of them…
Q&a: Curt: Big Data?
Q&A: CURT: BIG DATA? —“It’s overrated.”—Herbert S Vogelsang Um. Pretty much. In Knowledge of Human Beings: I think that big data is a substitute for praxeology, because it is impolitic to speak praxeological under postmodernism – big data provides excuses for action without admitting that human behavior is predictable and…
