Yes. I use via negativa, criticism, science, to see what survives… Even in gender studies.
—“Anne Tripp He’s using his negativia approach in gender stereotyping. He does it for males too. I agree with you that “if you want the horse to drink, lead it to water, don’t beat it.” But positivity is like positive affirmations … You have to have space or vacuum in the psyche for the information,…
What Do Men Want From Women?
WHAT DO MEN WANT FROM WOMEN —“CURT: What do men want from women?”— Emotional rewards, friendship, play, sex, affection, nesting-caretaking (feeding especially), family(his own tribe), long term security – since we accumulate much more damage in life. Men have no care except sex until they marry you, and after that they have many many cares…
The Feminine. Via Negativa Doesn’t Fit The Justificationist Discourse, So You Have to Know My Goals
—“Curt How about working on the positive aspects of female psychology and behaviour and how to develop them, rather than merely the ‘Women are weak, bad and a dangerous influence if they aren’t controlled’?”—Claire Rae Randall GREAT QUESTION. Well, if you go into my past work you see an awful lot of INTERPERSONAL adulation of…
Information, Measurement, Negotiation
Man as the measure of all things man Actually, the concept I am working on is whether we have everything backwards, and language consists entirely of measurements of different degrees of precision, and mathematics and operations are merely more precise measurements than we are familiar with speaking of. What does it mean to measure? Man…
Precision In Eras
( The ancients worked in nearly all things, with a smaller number of people, in less diverse distribution of knowledge and labor, with of longer and slower production cycles, and therefore a lower means of precision. If man is the measure of all things he thinks, speaks, and acts, and if therefore language consists of…
Hegel was right but that isn’t enough.
Well, you can get a kant, a hegel, schopenhauer, a marx, a hayek, and a heidegger out of german civilization. And that’s the problem. You can get a Kant and a Hegel AND a marx and a heidegger. So while I can sit here and state that Hegel is mostly right, and was mostly right…
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. All nouns are names. Numbers evolved as positional names. We use many positional names: none, one, and some, short medium and tall; small, medium, and large; front,…
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…
What’s The Difference Between Keynesian Economics And Austrian Economics?
There are three basic movements in economics. We unfortunately name them by their origins rather than their goals Austrian economics seeks to eliminate asymmetries of information so that people can cooperate more effectively. In this sense Austrian economics is an attempt to create a social science of cooperative institutions – political economy. More importantly the…
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…
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…

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…
