Privilege? Earned Stereotype
—“Privilege is something any group will create for its members if they are able. I think we would do better to ask what’s wrong with groups that are unable, rather than tolerating lectures on account of we trust each other more than we trust them; when they evidently don’t even trust each other (because they…

The Folly of our Guilt
by Bob Moran We’ve built societies where slavery is counter-productive (or at least much less efficient than the alternatives), but it doesn’t mean it’s never a valuable choice given some the circumstances. Just like high trust, the lack of slavery is part of our privileges. And yet, we are getting guilt tripped for what we…

The Last Piece: Tying Together Markets in Everything…
Yep. Transcendence and Sovereignty were the last pieces. In the end, warriors make rule possible, but Judges rule. In the monopoly of soldiery officers rule, and in the market of cooperation judges rule. Judges and Officers provide the same function under positiva (military) and negativa (market) organizations. The question is only which method judges use…

Why Does The Church Fail Europeans?
THE CHURCH FAILED AND CONTINUES TO FAIL How can you advocate christianity as a market good (something that people want to believe), when it so clearly is failing to compete in the market? What do socialism and cultural marxism, and postmodernism sell that people prefer to buy over christianity? What does islam sell that people…
Why Do We Need Religion: Alone-ness, and therefore Mindfulness
WHY DO WE NEED RELIGION: ALONENESS: MINDFULNESS. As far as I know, aloneness, or what marx called disenfranchisement, or what I call distance from the pack, is where religion fills the hole in us. that’s level one: eliminating aloneness thru mindfulness. level two is a common mythos (strategy). level three is festival, holiday, ritual. (equality)…
Complaint is the Language of Imbeciles
COMPLAINT IS THE LANGUAGE OF IMBECILES Anyone can complain. Anyone can criticize. How many people can explain the incentives that cause people to act in a way that they do, that you disagree with? Complaints about people. Complaints about events. complaints about society, complaints about civilization. complaints about man. Complaints are merely statements of incompetence.…
Why Cant We Speak Religion In The Language of Truth?
If you cannot speak in the language of truth how do we know you do not lie, and how do we know you are capable of making a truth claim? To rationalize is to make excuses. To tell children’s stories is to rationalize by imitation rather than reason. To analogize in history is to offer…

Advocate Against the Negative – the Positive Is A Choice
I advocate a world that ostracizes, punishes, or kills those who behave parasitically on the production of others, whether produced by private, kin, or common, and whether life, physical, institutional, normative, or informational.
Paganism Is, Like Natural Law, Simple
PAGANISM There is very little to understand about nature worship. There is very little to understand about ancestor worship. There is very little to understand about hero worship. These are exercises in sacredness: non consumption and ritual demonstration of reciprocity (gifts, observances) Evil religions emerged when we adopted corporatism instead of kinship and nationalism. And…
The Diseconomies of Scale
—“At what point do diseconomies of organizational scale kick in or is this a flawed frame?”—Lee Tucker That is the entire question as far as I am concerned. If we take an empirical look, the scale increases with available information systems, and the homogeneity of the population. But in simple terms, a city = a…

Um. Grow Up. We Want The Warlords To Rule. The Entire Militia of Them. 😉
But Wouldn’t Warlords Take Over? mises.org GROW UP – WE **WANT** WARLORD RULE – THE MILITIA https://mises.org/library/wouldnt-warlords-take-over Warlords MUST take over. That’s the whole point. The question is only their number. A militia of warlords constitutes a distributed dictatorship under which only markets governed by natural law are possible. Anarchism?

Love Exists…. Where it can.
Sexual love, romantic love, family love, friendship love, universal love. They all exist. But like anything else biological, they exist only in conditions under which it they are possible to exist. Worry about the conditions, and the love will occur. Worry about the love and ignore the conditions, and it cannot

Of Course We Can Demand Reciprocity
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 violators? Don’t we protect…
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,…
